at the height of a $100,000 fire
which destroyed the three-storey
John Boshart & Sons furniture plant

Avery, working with other em

on the top floor of the building, was
enveloped in flames when a spark
ignited inflammable finishing ma

t Mr. Tom Walker, of town, had a
pleasant surprise last week when
he received word from England that
a legacy of $5,500 had been left
to him by a great-aunt who passed
away several months ago. Those
who know Tom ana have followed
his career will rejoice with him in
this splendid -addition to his for
tune. We understand it is-not all
that is coming to him as there are
two outstanding 'investments yet to
be disposed of by the estate and
when finally wound up will add to
the legacy. Mr. Walker's sister,
Mrs. Stanley Robinson, of Stock-
port, Englan.d, shares- equally with
him in the estate.
Tom came1 to Exeter in 1928 from
Stockport. When he arrived in town
he had less than one dollar in his
pocket. For several years he work
ed amongst the farmers doing odd
jobs and assisting with the harvest
ing and threshing. -Some of those
years on the farm were during the
depression when prices were at a
very low ebb. After eleven years he
left the farm and came to Exeter.
He is a talented musician, playing
the banjo and piano,
ed in orchestras in
Canada. He became
work of Main Street
young people and in
years ago he took up painting ana
decorating, an occupation followed
by his grandfather. He has been in
dustrious and frugal and his serv
ices have been in great demand. He
has worries, he says, * worried be
cause he is not able to keep up with
the work that his customers want.
Since coming to Exeter he has mar
ried, purchased a home and decor
ated it nicely. It is a story of an
English lad making good in Canada.

Farm Building
Destroyed by Fire
A building used as a garage and
driveshed on the farm of Mr. Roy
Swartz, on the Babylon Line
in the township of Stephen, about
midway between Crediton and
Dashwood, was destroyed by fire
Sunday evening and but for the
heroic efforts of Mr. Swartz and
neighbors, the large bank barn
about ten feet from the garage
would also have been destroyed.
The fire started about 6.30 in the
evening when Mr. Swartz struck a
match to light a lantern and fumes
from the lantern exploded. Mr.
Swartz threw the lantern .from him
without personal injury although
his clothing was burned in spots. A
telephone call was sent out and
neighbors were soon on the spot,
a number of them bringing along
stirrup pumps and these helped to
save the large barn until the fire
brigades from Dashwood and Cen
tralia arrived on the spot. The barn
caught fire several times. The Stir
rup pumps were made for wartime
and were stored in the cities: They
were used largely in England dur
ing the war raids for fire fighting.
A number were purchased by the
Hay Township Fire Insurance com
pany and were sold to their policy-
holders. A few of them came
handy.
