In a couple of seconds flames shot up four or five feet and the- two cnen (remained in the mow and, battled fire down with forks until the remainder of the threshing crew formed a bucket brigade.

During the fighting of the fire in the mow Mr. Riggley was overcome with smoke and it was necessary to call medical aid, Dr. R. B. Gielve re­ sponding.

TOURIST BRINGS SLEIGH TO ENJOY OUR WINTER ihisWhen Rudyard Kipling wrote poem, "Our Lady of the Snow®-" it undoubtedly advertised Canada in many ways; it also produced many strange results. For instance, the Pennsylvania car which went thro’ the city. -Securely fashioned to the front bumper iof the car was a large sled, which, from its dust-covered appear­ ance, might have been brought by the tourists all the way from their home. Evidently it is a good maxim, when travelling into the wild, frozen north to come .prepared.—London Free Press.

The well-planned meal now is vastly dif­ ferent from that of grandmother's day and pie holds a prominent place upon the menu. Pie at one time was considered to be not fitting dessert with which to finish a heavy meal. Many hardy souls ate it at breakfast and felt this fortified them for a day of hard iabour. But at night they ate scan­ tily and shunned pie on ner menu. They thought only for holiday .fare. Then a new feeling for to be noticed. Apple, pumpkin and cherry, while still general favorites, were modified and modernized. Other pies unheard of twenty years ago came into being. Pies were hi again, and this time they were here to stay. Newer types followed the air-minded trend o.f our times and became fluffy, light, chiffon crea­ tions. (For whoever heard of a chiffon pie in pre-war days?) An amazing and appetizing va­ riety of pies is now offered to us. With this variety we can add sparkle to our menu and complete our din­ ner, rather than end it with "that sinking 'feeling.’’ Here are some dis­ tinctively new pie ideas for occa­ sions great and small.
