HUGHES President General Manager flUG.26’5EPT.1O Fred Faust, 70-year-old blind resi­ dent of McGillivray Township, was forced to fight his way out of his burning house. The farm residence of Fred and John Faust, a brother, was totally destroyed by flames. Occurring in mid-afternoon the fire found John in the field working and his brother in the house sleeping. When the elderly blind man realized what was happening he first of all tried to get out the back door but was stopped by smoke and flames. Grabbing a money box, he then man­ aged to escape through the front door. The origin of the first has not been determined. Sparks ignited the barn 200 yards away but this build­ ing was saved by neighbors. The Parkhill fire department responded to a call for assistance.

Mr. Stewart moved to Goderich and died there a few years ago. Also in Stewart’s time there was a wagon shop to the west of the blacksmith’s shop, where Mike Ash made all man­ ner of conveyances from the once- popular democrat to heavy wagons and sleighs. After came Amos Pop- lestone, a genius with the adze, the saw, and tiie spoke-shave. Pople- stone was in the habit of going into the woods, selecting and cutting his own oak and hickory and afterwards curing it in his loft above his shop. He carved axles, spokes and rims out of solid oak and some of his wagons and sleighs are still being used in the community. Jim McElrea fin­ ally came into possession of the combined shop and in 1919 he sold out to .Harry Webber, native of New­ castle, in the Transvaal, S. Africa. Mr, Webber was a very small boy when the Boer War was raging around his native Newcastle and then his father, having lost much of his holdings came to Canada. Harry served in the 'Great War as a Far­ rier Sergeant in the 5 5th Battery, coming to Woodham after securing his discharge. He has watched the | Stop here for tires!

Out in the village of Wood­ ham, time marches on, and the old gives way to the new. Just last week for instance, a. new blacksmith shop is taking the place of the one which has served the community of farm­ ers about the village for seventy or eighty years. by a new one that will have all the advantages of modernity but none of the romantic qualities of the old Smithy.
