What might have resulted in serious fire happened at the home of Mr, Geo. Windsor on Thursday ev­ ening last- It appears that Mr, Windsor had turned on the electric grill in his kitchen to heat some milk, but owing to the storm the power went off and Mr. Windsor ne­ glected te turn off the switch. He, a little later, had occasion to go up town and ^uring his absence the power was turned on and as a re­ sult the grill heated, burned the milk which, formed substance enough to cause a blaze sufficient to connect With a dish towel hanging close to the window and jth'e blaze started up the wall. Mrs. Wm.

Taylor, of town, celebrated his 80th birthday and a number of re­ latives and friends dropped ip on him to extend their congratulations and to wish him many happy re­ turns. Mr. Taylor has just come through a serious illness with pneu­ monia and has not regained his strength as yet but it is slowly com­ ing back and as far as looks goes he would pass for one many years younger. During. the greater part of his life Mr.’Taylor has been close­ ly identified with the interests of Exeter, and it must b.e some satis­ faction to him to know that he has had no little part in helping to shape what we, as citizens, consider one of the finest small towns in Western Ontario. For twenty-one years Mr. Taylor held municipal offices in Ex­ eter and many of the permanent im­ provements we now enjoy lie helped to father. For six years Mr. Taylor sat in the Reeve’s chair—in 1910 and 11 and again in 1914-15-16. He was the last Deputy-reeve for Exeter. • Mr. Taylor was born in Picker- Tp. Ontario County. At the age of ten years he moved with his parents to a farm oil the 9th concession of Usborne and the early years of his life Were spent in assisting to clear the farm where he became well ac­ quainted with all the hardships of pioneer life. At the age of 21 Mr. Taylor started to learn the carpent­ er trade and after serving an ap­ prenticeship for three years he started for himself. In April, 1876 when the planing mill in town was run by Ross Brothers and Davidson Mr. Taylor started to work for them and the following year he took over Mr. Davidson’s interests and the firm was known as Ross Bros. & Taylor, with the late Dan Ross and Mr. J. P. Ross, of Calgary, as part­ ners. At that time there was only one man in busines in Exeter who is at present doing business here and that was Dr. J. W. Browning. Mr. Taylor was identified with the Ross & Taylor Co. from 1877 to 1905 when it was incorporated as the Ross-Taylor Co., Limited, and since that time while not actively in con­ trol he has been associated with the business.Among the relatives who visited With Mr. Taylor on Monday were his brother Andrew and wife and friends from Yarmuth Centre and Mrs. Mrs. cal. n&fct will anniversary.

BUY YOUR LICENSE For some time is has been known that it would be necessary for car owners to procure a license from the Ontario Governmnent in order that they may legally run a car. This is .... absolute necessity and the fact of a person having an ordinary license is not sufficient lo protect him against the law after August 1st- The law came into effect July 1st, 1927, but the Government is allow­ ing car owners till August 1st to pro­ cure their license. A feature of the new regulations is that every car owner must fill in his or her own ap­ plication. The blank can be procur­ ed at the garages or from the issuer of the license and all that is neces­ sary is to fill in the form, enclose it in an envelope addressed to the near­ est issuer, which is W. S. R. Holmes, Clinton or to the Department, Toron­ to, enclose $1 and your permit will be returned to you. Don’t take a chance as you are liable to be pinch­ ed O. any time after August 1st. B. A.
