Reving But TO INSTALL PASTEURIZATION PLANT There has been a demand in Exe­ ter for some time for pasteurized milk and the municipal council with the Board of Health have had un­ der advisement a by-law for the pro­ tection of milk consumers. Mr. Hat­ ter, local dairyman, has with erable enterprise purchased teurizing plant which will be ed in connection with the Creamery and which will be ed in the course of a week Several cases of undulent iever in near-by municipalities have given the citizens of Exeter some concern and this forward step taken by Mi’ Hatter should insure a much sarer milk supply for which the citizens of Exeter will be very grateful. co ns id- a- pas- operat- Exeter install- or two.

Bush fires On Sunday morning last a fire started in the marsh lands about five miles south of Grand Bend and east of the Pinery road. The fire swept over several acres doing little dam­ age as the marsh was grown over with weeds. The dense smoke however attracted the atten­ tion of' people for miles, some mo­ toring a distance of twenty five miles to the scene. The fire in the pasture lands in Hay swamp is still smould-, ering and breaks out occasionally During the latter part of last week the fire broke out and spread so ra­ pidly that those on guard had tc beat a hasty retreat. Another fire has also been burning for a few weeks in several acres of bush land on the Hunter farm belonging to Mr Fred Ellerington. The fire is eat­ ing its way into the roots of the trees and a number of large trees have fallen. principally CHIMNEY FIRE On Sunday morning a chimney caught fire at the home of Mr. Ru­ fus Kestle in Usborne township Hearing a roar Mr. Kestle went out­ side to investigate and found the chimney blazing and some sparks had ignited some shingles on the roof An attic in the house leads to the top of the roof and through this Mr. Kestle climbed with a pail of water and soon had the fire under control An exceptionally high wind was blowing at the time and a hurried telephone call was sent out for help but fortunately it was not needed. Had the fire got any kind of a start it is difficult to say what the damage might have been as everything is so dry.

We trust the citizens will lend their support in this way be done will be and the to lend A few years ago there was scarce­ ly a program of any importance in the James St. church but that the family of W. J. Ford or some mem­ ber of it, had a part in .the program either vocal or instrumental. They were members *bf the Sunday Schoo) orchestra and time after time their musical numbers have delighted au­ diences both large and small. They loved music and it was a delight to listen to them play and sing. On Friday last while taking in the Lon­ don Fail- the editor Advocate ran across younger members of the person of Fred playing the tuba bass ket and “Ten Aces” Gardens. Fred has now made his way to the front and for the past few seasons has been playing with some of the leading orchestras In Canada. Before coming to London he was with “The Dumbells” at the Royal Alexander, Toronto. On turning to Toronto he joins Stanley St. John Orchestra for fall fashion shows aL Eatons. Dur­ ing the past summer he was with Romanelll’s orchestra at the Chez Henri Hotel in Quebec. Mr. Ford’s outstanding engagement was in 1929 when he -spent the summer season with Ted Andrews’ orchestra at Lake Louise, the big C. -P R. resort in the Rocky Mountains. This is pos­ sibly the best engagement of the kind in Canada today. It is super­ fluous to say that Fred loves his music. In liis positoin he has met many of the leadihg actors and en­ tertainers of the day. His many friends will be pleased to hoar of hist splendid success. of the Times- one of the the family in Ford who is with Al Plun- at the Winter re- th e f h p by innings was Lucan, 0 0 1 2—12; Exeter, 3 1 0 4—,14.
