It was after ten o'clock before the walls came down and the roof collapsed, and by eleven o'clock immediate danger to surrounding buildings seemed eliminated. Firemen played water on the face of the Co-op chopping mill, and on the south side of Dalryna- ple's garage, the home immediate- ly to-the east of the burning store And on the north side of Pater- son's -general store, Two popes of glass at Dalrymple's garage (a- bout 60 feet from Craig's) were broken by the heat; and the paint along the building was blistered. Spectators heard popping sounds they took to be ammunition box- 'es, and paint cans exploding. The' rear part of the building, which included a garage, and the living room of the residence were saved, although contents of the home were ruined by -heat, smoke and water, Saved of personal belongings Huron Caunty Farming Report (By D.

During the last week the tradi- tional budget debate was conclud- ed by the usual formal vote; some 150 bills received final readings; resolutions and questions by op- position members were debated and dealt with. On Thursday His Honour Lieu- tenant-Governor Mackay attended in the House again for the formal ceremony of giving Royal Assent to the new laws and of prorogu- ing this session of the 25th Legis- lature, and soon thereafter the 98 members had sped off to their own ridings and to their homes for Easter and to prepare for elec- tion battle. Looking back, not only on the recent session, but on all of the 25th Legislature's' sessions. it would appear that good govern- ment in Ontario has been a reality because of the consistent effort of every member to play his part; the government members in at- tending not only to their own constituents' needs, but also to en- suring proper consideration of, and action on province-wide issues; the cabinet in formulating and carry- ing out policies which have proven equal to Ontario's challenge and potential; and Prime Minister Frost who still gives that great and inspiring leadership which can and does so often cross mere poli- tical party lines for the good of Ontario and of all our people. With this final report from To- ronto for 1959, I again express my appreciation to the editor of this paper for his courtesy in affording space for this report. I do sincer- ely hope that all my constituents who have read these notes will have received some information of interest and value. —(By John Hanna) Charles Andrew Proctor Death came suddenly to Charles Andrew Proctor, Strathroy, last Wednesday night, April 1, in the London Arena, where he was wat, thing the wrestling match, An avid wrestling fan, Mr, proctor had come to the event with Mr. and Mrs, William Steele, also of Strathroy.

Damage was also done to the wall nearest the stove, where flames had gotten a good start when the proprietor' ar- rived. "When I opened the door to go and feed the chicks' I was almost overcome with- smoke," said,. Mr. Gingerich, "most of the chicks were already 'dead then." Water to extinguish the fire was taken from a pipe. which supplied drink- ing water for the' chicks; A few of the birds survived 'the ordeal, The building, which is an old home converted into a chicken house, is made of brick and frame construction.
