uaAI STORY WRONG OF
1 CAR FIRE -AT 'GODERICH
Mr. and Mrs, Burton Roach of.
town are rather incensed at a
story in the Goderich Signal -Star
regarding a ' fire that broke out
in their car while -attending the
races,
v .races on Civic holiday.
Causeof the fire- was attribut-
ed by the Goderich' paper. to "a
carelessly dropped cigarette". The
only. explanation Mr. and Mrs.
Roach.have is that a spark from
Burt's pipe blew from : the' front
seat to a corner of the : upholstery
in the back seat, and later caused
the .blaze. Burt doesn't `smoke
cigarettes. _
• Considerable damage was done
to the upholstery before the ,fire
department arrived ..to break a
glass in the locked car, and ex-
tinguish the blaze.
In the meantime the position of
jhe car and the license number
was announced over the public
address system, and Mr. and Mrs.
Roach ran all the way to the 'car, -
reaching it ' in . time to thank ' a
couple . of the firemen for their
efforts, and who • told themthat
in five minutes their car would'
have been a complete wreck.
The Signal -Star • erroneously
claimed: "The name of the owner
was not obtained. He did not even
turn' up until after the races, . ap-
parently one of those .motorists
who do . not know the numbers Of
their markers, as they were call-
ed over the ,public address sys- a
tem".

ATTACKED BY BULL
Shirl Bowers had ' a narrow.
escape recently when attacked by
a bull on his farm. 'Shirl called'
the dog when he saw the bull
charging him, He was rendered`
unconscious in the attack and
when he came to, the dog was
holding the bull at bay. Shirl had
never before considered the dog'
to be of much' account, but he'
now prizes it highly and no doubt
owes his life to the canine..
To the Elector
of Huron Bruce
who worked for, and sup-
ported me on August 4th,
do I wish to express my
sincere appreciation with a
hearty
Thank You,
