BAD BUSH FIRE NEAR GRAND BEND Change of Wind Helped Greatly Five hundred acres of valuable tim ber were destroyed and cottagers forced to flee when flames roared through a forest area near Grand Bend on Sunday. Tjie fire started at 8.30 in the morn ing on a farm seven miles south of Grand Bend. Provincial police believe it originated from brush-burning be ing carried out by farmers of the dis trict. It spread north rapidly, the flames shooting from trees-top to tree-top and through the under growth, More than 1,000 residents and vis itors, many of theip armed with axes and shovels, answ.cred the alarm sent out by Provincial Traffic Officer F. Inch and Reeve N. C, Golding of Bos- anquet Township. They dug trench es and created backfires as the flames camo sweeping across a twenty-five mile tract of pine trees, fanned by a strong breeze. Fire rangers from On- . tario Park at Ipperwash rushed to the scene with equipment, The Beach of Pines subdivision, consisting of 6,000 acres and contain ing abopt 100 cottages, was menaced when the fire broke out of control about noon and followed a course par allel with the Pinery Road. Dense clouds of smoke 'rolled into the sub division in advance of the flames, and cottagers made haste to get out of the danger aone. A shift in the wind .saved the cottages at 6 p.m. WINGHAM FISH AND GAME CLUB The Club has a correction to make, in that the game wardens as appoint ed by the provincial minister are lim ited to Messrs.
