BARNS SAVED WHEN
STRAW STACK BURNS
About four hundred fire fighters
saved two valuable barns on the
farm of Ed. Dundas, McGillivray
Township, about one and a half
miles east and north of Mooresville
Sunday afernoon, when fire started
in a straw stack. The stack. was
situated in the angle of two big
barns and the fire was said to have
started by a small boy "shooting”
sparrows with a toy cap-gun. Fire
fighting equipment was rushed to
the scene from Lucan and Ailsa
Craig. Hose was secured from Ex
eter and with the combined hose
the fire fighters were able to se
cure water from a near-by cree.k
Ice and snow on the stack and barn
assisted in holding back the blaze.
Neighbors turned out and had all
the grain in the barn bagged and
the stock and implements all out.
There were three big thresher tanks
on the scene and many threw snow
and ice on the blaze. It was not
until midnight after hours of heroic
fighting that the blaze was brought
under control and the barns saved.

Exettr Edges Crediton
Exeter chalked up their fifth
straight win in the second game on
Monday night edging Crediton 2-1.
It was Exeter’s last game of the
schedule and they cannot be beat
en out of second place. However if
Lucan defeats Crediton Wednesday
night Lucan and Exeter will be
tied which will probably necessitate
a game between the two to decide
how the teams will enter the play
offs. The teams standing first and
third will play also the team Stand
ing second and foxirth, the winners
of the two games to meet in-the
finals. Exeter should be a real
threat in the play-offs as they have
shown wonderful inprovement un
der the coaching of Eric Pettinger
and Hap. Wells. In the first per
iod there was only one tally Creech
scoring on a nice rush after check
ing Crediton’s attack and stick
handling down the .. length of the
ice to beat Smith with a l’ow shot.
Crediton got the equalizer in the
second period, Wally Fahrnjer net
ting the puck from a scramble in

first game for Exeter, notched the
winning counter, batting in
puck which had been centred out
