The barn was being used by his son Mr. Jack Elliott one portion of which was fitted up as a garage and work! shop with a chim­ ney passing through the loft of the barn in which was stored somp- hay. Mr. Elliott was working in the gar­ age at the time and was unaware of the fire just above his head until warned by bis wife who had" seen the flames and smoke issuing from the roof. Messrs. Andy Easton and Bruce Tuckey were passing in a truck at the time and stopped to render assistance and a cow, two pigs and an automobile were saved. Mr. Elliott had considerable diffi­ culty in getting the cow out. Fire was dropping all around him and the animal was loath to leave the building. Mr. Elliott’s face was quite blistered with the heat. Messrs Easton and Tuckey also had diffi­ culty with one of the pigs and had to throw it out. When the firemen arrived little could be &one to save anything that was left. Some val­ uable tools and 'auto accessories were damaged. Fortunately the wind was blowing in the right direc­ tion or some of the nearby buildings ■ would have been in danger. There was no insurance on' the building. At the recess hour , many of scholars of the school visited scene of the fire. PIONEER CLUB A social gathering of what been termed “The Pioneer/1 Club” was held in the parlors of the James St. United church Tuesday afternoon when 49 of the older men who are nearing or past the 70,-year mark gathered together to enjoy a social hour and talik- over old times. A splendid program was given starting with a sing song led by the pastor, Rev. J. H. Stainton, and it was not long before most of the men were joining lustily in some of the old time songs. Rev. J. W. D„own, who has taken a leading part in pro­ viding the program ,was called to the chair and performed his duties in a most interesting way. Mr. H. E. Huston gave an interesting talk on looking backward for 80 years. He told of many amusing incidents connected with the development of th© Huron tract and particularly of the London Road, now the provincial highway No. 4, and of the numerous taverns along the route. Mr. Thos. Harvey gave a very fine address on looking forward. It is often stated that the good di© young but Mr. Harvey believes that the older ones are left here for a purpose. There is a mature judgment which the weight of years gives to the indiv­ idual. 'They should b© to a com­ munity like ballast is to a ship. He urged the men to keep an inter­ est in the affairs of the church and community and to use their time and talents in promoting peace and good­ will among men. Rev. A. E. Elliott was present and sang a solo. Mr. Chas; Birney gave a violin selection; Mr. John Braund played a clarionet selection and Mr. Ed. Treble a cor­ net splo, Following the program some of the ladies of the congrega­ tion served refreshments, and this was not the least enjoyable part of the afternoon, present was Mr aged 93.

I Then cam© th© flooding of the world with heavenly iight. Sg ? Then followed the cry of the messenger whose home is in theI light that never dims, of th© birth of the new day, of the enter- ffl® 1 ing into humanity of the Life' that knows no death, the song of ss ' th© heavenly choir proclaiming that war and strife ar© not g®l 5 man’s estate nor enmity his goal, but that his end is peace and i his native attitude to men and God is good will. Well might <„ th© shepherds leave their flpcks to the care of Him without jag ? whose notice not even a sparrow falls to visit the cradle of Him whose it is to bestow shepherd care and a royal brother’s lovej upon every member of the race, Well might those kings bring W ’ their costly gifts to Him who alone gives all possessions mean- ; ing and value, ' And well may the perplexed woMd of 1932 turn this Christ- | mas tide to the Christmas scene of the long, long ago. Well gig [ may we wait for the light as we, too, wait and watch and hope ' and pray on the barren hillside of our existence. For the light W r is there, but only faith and good will may see it. Tire warmth t and laughter and achievement of a better day are there,.but they, will not be seen except by the faithful and the devout. Never W > was the light nearer than it is just how. Let the ra6e but cease : going its own way . and give room to Him who is so willing to gfc enter every life to make that life triumphant and joyful. May W * the Christmas of this year be the most meaningful the race ever w i has known! CONFINED TO BED Tlie; many friends of Mrs. H.
