FIRE DESTROYS TRAILER
OU' Monday afternoon while Mr.
S. J. V. Cann was returning to Ex
eter from near Hillsgreen with a
load of pine stumps on a trailer
drawn by his auto the wood caught
fire and both the wood and trailer
were destroyed as well as a cross
cut saw that was on the load at the
time. The fire occurred about two
miles south of Hensall and after it
started, aided by the hot sun and
fanned by the breeze it made quick
headway. Tihe Hensall fire engine
was called to the scene but the dam
age was done before it arrived,
origin of the fire is a mystery
one. theory is that the rays of
hot sun reflected off the steel
started the fire.

CAMP OUTFIT BURNS
Dressed in their Sunday best and
all equipped for a pleasant week
end at the lakeside and returning
home with nothing but their bathing
suits was the sad experience of four
young people who had their clothing
and all equipment burned while
camping at Grand Bend on Sunday.
Mr. and Mrs. Erie Campbell, of town
and the latter’s sister, Miss Evelyn
Hodgins, of Lucan, accompanied by
Eugene Beavers pitched their tent
in the tourist camp at Grand Camp
intending to spend Sunday and Mon
day. On Sunday morning while en
joying a dip in the lake their tent
caught fire and was destroyed to-
geher with their clothing, suit cases
and other equipment. The fire also
destroyed the top of their car. Camp
ers near-by saw the fire and went to
the rescue and pushed the 'car away
confining the damage to the top.
The loss is estimated at around
$300.00
