Moscow—The Soviet Union pushed
a movement to train 150,000 airplane
pilots, an idea which originated from
the suggestion of obscure munitions
workers. Throughout the country has
spread the slogan, “150,000 air hawks
in 1937." This is Russia’s reply to
the recent assertion of Germany’s
General Goering that Germany must

Burned to Death in Barn Fire
Searchers examining the ruins of a
barn on, the Ninth Concession of
Mornington- Township found the
body of William A. Taylor, who lost
his life when the building was des
troyed by fire. Neighbors conducted
the search after the flames subsided.
When they first came to the Taylor
farm they had been attracted by flam
es shooting from the roof of the build
ing. They arrived too late to rescue
the farmer, who was trapped inside.
Freshet Damaged Culvert
r The three day rain last week pro
vided so much moisture that many
of the small culverts in the country
were unable to take care of the extra
amount of water. One culvert at the
intersection of the 2nd concession and
the 5th sideroad of Carrick was par
tially washed out. Jos.. Cronin ran in
to the cave-in with his car. The ma
chine was damaged by 'the drop, and
the council -will probably be asked to
take care of the repair bill.—Mildmay
Gazette.
Amputation Necessary
Mrs. Frank Dennis had her left arm
amputated at the Listowel Memorial
hospital. A small growth had devel
oped on her hand, and it was deemed
advisable, to amputate. Friends of

is making satisfactory recovery.—Lis

Accident Victim Returned Home
Mr. Frank Gibbs, who was so sev
erely injured when trying to get a
“Jigger" off the track before an on
coming train near Chatham several
weeks ago, has so far recovered as to
be able to return home. It is hoped
that he is now well on the way to
recovery and his friends trust it may
be speedy and complete. He has
something to be thankful for, that he
was not killed, though his injuries
were severe enough.

Dust Caused, Explosion and Fire
A disastrous fire was prevented by
the quick work of employees at the
Roe Poultry Farm, Atwood, recently,
when several small fires started fol
lowing an explosion, which blew a
roof, approximately fifty feet square
off a four-storey structure. Dr. Roc
explained that the fire started as a
result of over-heating of metal in the
grinders, which are located in the
basement. The flames shot up
through the chutes to the top and
workers noticed them. After a stren
uous fight with several small fires that
broke out, they were extinguished.
The dust, being highly combustible,
caused the explosion.
Teeswater Minister Not
To Blame for Accident
Rev. T. B. Allan, Presbyterian min
ister of Teeswater, was absolved of
all blame by a coroner’s jury inquir
ing into the death of Mr. Angus Mc
Kenzie of Teeswater, who passed

juries received when he was struck
by the cleric’s car while walking along
the highway south of Teeswater. The
inquest was held in Teeswater with
Corner Dr. Gillies, presiding. Crown
Attorney J. W. Freeborn and 'High
Constable A. E. Ferguson were pre

After a poor day’s fishing some ang

“I was once fishing in the States

“For whales?" asked one of his lis
teners.
“No, no,” snapped the lawyer, “we
were baiting our hooks with whales.”
