Following an investigation after
the braze Seaforth Fire Chief John
F. Scott, told The Expositor he had
found the remnants of an oily rag
near the 'centre of the area where
the , blaze Was confined, between
the staircase and the wall. He -Sug-
gested that spontaneous combus-
tion. in the rag was- the cause of
the blaze.
Flames licked up the ,staircase
and blistered paint on the ceiling
of the hallway. A shipment of new
desks, piled just inside the door,
was slightly marred • by water,
while several cartons fell prey to
the flames. A glass cupboard, con-
taining stationery items, waS also
charred.

Rains over the weekend did
little to lowerthe temperature,
but did succeed in raisingethe
humidity and discomfort; The

tured the 1955 Olcl Boys' Re-
union—has extended over a ,
