ing one of the children for school
fire broke out in the kitchen of the
home and'but' ffrr the prompt re
sponse of the firei department would
Iiave^destroyed tJje home. Maxwell
was about ready for school and was
in the act of going into the kitchen
for his rubbers and as he opened
the kitchen door fire and smoke shot
ipto the room. . He quickly closed
the door and the alarm was sounded
?and’ the firemen 'were soon on thd
scene., Witli .the. aid. of chemical
extinguishers .the fire was brought
und;er control,; but not before the
kitchen had bepn badly damaged. By
the closing of '.the door to the kit
chen the air liffd -been sliu| out and
the smoke pdftly "smothered the
flames otherwise the damage would
have been much worse. There was
a fire in the kithen stove at the time

sonage on Wednesday at two o’clock
when Miss Jennie Aileen Passmore,
daughter of Mr. and. Mrs. Win. Pass-
more, was united in marriage to Mr.
Lloyd Parsons, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Samuel Parsons, The ceremony
was performed by Rev. D. McTavish.
The bride was attractively attired in
a dress of blue georgette. The wit
nesses were Miss Lily May Snell and
Mr, Alvin Passmore. Following the
wedding; the bridal party repaired
to the home of the bride’s parents
where a dainty buffet luncheon was
served. The bride donned a gown
of navy crepe, with coat, hat, shoes
and stockings to match and the
happy young couple left on a wedd
ing trip to London. The Times-Ad-
vocate joins their many friends in
extending congratulations.
