The
fire threatened to destroy the Town
Hall and it was only by the aid of
Hensall Zurich and Dashwood fire
departments and the volunteer fire
fighters that the fire was controlled
and the Town Hall, Chas, Jink’s im
plement shed and T. C. Joynt’s dry
goods store were saved, which were
separated from the burning building
only by alleyways, The fire is be
lieved to have started in Twitchell’s
garage and was noticed by Harold
Stade of Zurich, who was returning
from the hockey match at Clinton,
and roused residents by the honking
of his car horn. Before the fire reach
ed the homes of Mrs. Parlmer and
Mi's. Dick they were removed to
safety and most of their furniture
was carried out. Telephone com
munications were hit by the fire and
most of the telephones of the village
were out of order. The loss is con

Second Fire at Hensall
Vacant House Destroyed
Hensall had its second fire Tues
day evening when a vacant house
was destroyed and for a time it was
feared that the flames might spread
to other buildings as wind carried
the burning embers over a wide area.
About 11.30 o’clock in the evening
tire was discovered in a frame house
on Richmond St., south of the Main
street. The firemen/responded but
so great a headway had the flames
gained that nothing coul^ be done to
save the building. The house had not
been occupied for several years and
belonged to the McEwan Estate in
Goderich. ’ It was located near the
homes of Village Clerk Patterson, A.
Foster and the Buchanan family.
Half a block away is the Owen Gei-
,ger flax mill and although burning
embers swept that way on more than
one occasion the mill did not take
fire.
The firemen are at a loss to know
how such a fire could get started
and incendiarism is suspected. Doors
of the ■house were open and windows
broken and considerable snow had
drifted into the building in recent
storms. According to fire chief, Lee
Hedden, a report would be made to
the fire marshall and possibly
investigation will be made.

East and settled in the village of
Hensall. Having learned in his
early days telegraphing, Mr. Hess
years ago, was the first operator of
the village. For the past fifteen
years he has been carrying on a
printing and jewelery business.
Mr. Hess has endeared himself to
a great number of people in and
around Hensall because of his out
standing qualities of character. As
a business man he was quite populai’
and seemed to have the confidence
of the .whole community. Toward
all, young and old alike, he was
kind, sympathetic and friendly, and
his disposition remarkably even,
He was an industrious man and
had exceptional gifts as a precision
mechanic and his store became a
centre of attraction to those who
valued him for his genius.
Mr. Hess was a man of varied in
terests. His knowledge of subjects
was wide. He was a clear thinker
and wise philosopher. He appreciat
ed people with high ideals, and all
his days was identified .with the
Christian church. He had many in
terests outside his regular work. He
was passionately fond of music and
could play many instruments well.
When in Zurich and in the West, he
conducted the town bands with great
acceptability. For several years he
was the Scout Master of Hensall.
Mr. Hess was a great lover of na
ture. The processes of growth and
development attracted him, and to
get away from his work occasionally
into the out-of-doors, appealed to
him and refreshened and re-created
him. The Pinery near Grand Bend
was one of his favorite resorts,
where he had a summer home.

Crediton Wins From Hensall
Game is Protested
Although losing the game 4-2
Crediton won the round of the semi
finals against Hensall 9h8 ip the
Exetei* Arena Thursday evening of
last week. It was a typical play-off
game and both teams put up a real
exhibition of hockey. The Hensall
team has entered a protest and the
protest will be decided Wednesday
evening. In the meantime the play
off have been held up.
In the game Thursday evening
Hensall had their rivals 3-0, thus
tying the round but L, Haist spark
ed the winners with two goals and
edged out their opponents by one
goal. .Hensall opened the game at
a speedy clip trying desperately to
overcome the three goal lead Cred
iton had earned in the first game.
They missed a real chance to open
the scoring when Hudson set up a
pass to Nicholson in front of the net
but Smith met him with a spectacu
lar save. Smith again turned back
the visitors when Passmore rushed
in on him. Nicholson put Hensall
into the lead, banging in a rebound
from Brown’s long drive. Few min
utes later Tudor put them two up.
He rode in on Smith with Nichol
son’s pass and drove it into the hemp
In this period Hensall held a com
manding edge in the play over their
rivals.
Hensall continued their terrific
pace in the second frame, but Cred
iton were getting into the play more
and held them to one goal. Smith
again robbed Nicholson of a counter
making another marvelous save. Bob
Wolfe split the defence and worked
right in on Moir only to miss the
cornei' of the cage. Passmore then
made it 3-0 for Hensall notching his
goal unassisted. Art Haist combin
ing <up the ice with Baynham
Faist missed a chance to score
he shot wide of the net.
Both teams went into the
period tied in goals for
two games,
vals to one goal while they them
selves notched two. Both teams be
gan to rough it up and tempers be
gan to flare as the play went on. G.
Haist scored Crediton’s first goal
picking the corner of the net with
Bawden’s pass. Hensall played every
man up but G. Haist broke away and
skated in on the helpless goalie to
bulge the twine for his second goal.
The crowd went wild with excitement
and Haist was given a great hand
when he skated off the ice. Hensall
scored their last goal when BrOck
whipped the rebound into the net af
ter Smith had made a brilliant save
on Brown’s shot. The teams lined up
as follows:
