Fire Tragedy in Greenock
Mr. and Mrs. Carl Freiburger, of
Greenock township, are'mourning the
tragic death of their two small child
ren, one a baby girl one year old, and
the other a girl five years old. Mr*
and Mrs, Freiburger were spending
Tuesday evening at a wedding celebra
tion at Teeswater andliad taken their
two little girls to spend the night at
he home of Mr, and Mrs. Alfred Heid-
. miller, who are family relatives, Some
time after the two Freiburger children
and a 13-year-old daughter of Mr, 'and
Mrs. .Heidmiller had gone to bed, a
fire broke out in the room. The latter
woke up in terror, and rushed out of
the room and gave the alarm to her
two older brother, aged 15 and 17,
who lost no time in getting water to
fight the flames. With the help of nei
ghbors who arrived quickly, the fire
was subdued, but not before the two
Freiburger children had sustained ter
rible burns. They were rushed to the
Walkerton hospital, but the baby died
before their arrival there. The older
child died early Wednesday moyning.

PAYING PENALTY FOR PAST.
In the face of intense home opposition
and twitted constantly about his prev
ents passionate pleas for retrenchment,
he insisted on large naval expenditur
es. As a sop to his critics, however,
he did, early in 1912, suggest a Naval
Holiday to Germany.
Tha: he had little belief in its- pros-
.pects of success was evident, for one
of his critics’ complained that: "Mr.
Churchill approached Germany with
an olive-branch in one hand and a
sword in the other. But he took good
care to keep, the olive-branch in his
trousers pocket; so all the Germans
saw was the sword.”
Germany’s answer to this sugges- •
tion was — more intensive naval build
ing, and when during a visit to’’Bel
fast, Winston Churchill was informed
that the Kaiser had announced still. __ _______ .1

Winston Churchill threw into his
new task at the Admiralty all the en
ergy which had been devoted to fost
ering social reforms. The imminent
danger of war with Germany was real
ised fully, by this time, by most mem
bers of the Government, and Mr.
Churchill was laced with accomplish
ing in a year or two what would ord
inarily require 15 or 20 years. i

INCREASED NAVY BY SUB
TERFUGE! The public was difficult
to convince of the possibility of war
with Germany, ami the vast sums that
Mr. Churchill asked for ■were not
forthcoming without intense bitterness
and opposition. Indeed, he had to re
sort to subterfuge to get all he want
ed, for it is strongly suspected that the
gift of a super-dreadnought from the
Federated Malay States was inspired
by himself. When Ramsay MacDon
ald, then leader of the Labour Party,,
questioned this transaction, Mr,
Churchill fobbed him off with the re
mark: “I would accept a dreadnought
from even the Labour Party if they
offered it.”

PROVIDENCE AGAIN! He ord
ered a change-over from coal to oil,
a revolutionary measure but one which
greatly increased the cruising range of,
vessels. With foresight denied to most
of his contemporaries, he created the
Royal Naval Air Force, and in 1916,
Mr Balfour, never a particular admir-1
er of Winston Churchill, could say:,
“The Naval Air Service entirely owes-
its origin to Mr. Churchill . , , Long j

the Churchill luck was in evidence.
The day after Mr, Churchill’s first les
son in flying, the pilot who had acted
as his instructor was killed. Again, an’
experimental flight of a new seaplane
was ordered, and Winston Churchill
went along, without incident. The
next time the seaplane was tried, its
three officer occupants were killed
when it crashed,

icatcd to the lonely and broken-heart--
ed in love and conducted by ascertain
"Maid Marion.”
"That,” said Georeg, “is our old
friend Marion McDonald.”
“Well, do tell,” I exclaimed. “And
what’s become of Jean Harding?”
“Oh, Jean was real sensible, got her
self a rich husband and settled down.
They live just a few miles from here.”
"And Margaret Homuth. What’s
Margaret doing now?”
“Let me see,” Bill said, "Oh, yes,
Margaret finally saw through advanc
ed Algebra and now she’s so enthus
iastic about mathematics that she’s
working on some kind of a theory to
dispute Einstein’s fourth dimension.”
"Yes,” said George, “I was saying
to Bill the other day that Mr. Madill
ought ho try that new theory on some
of the betting he’s done on the race
horses he’s started into business with.”
“Well, you know,” I replied, “If his
horses are as old and slow as some
of those jokes used to be he’ll need
some kind of theory to make them
win,”
Just a moment or so before, a news
boy had wandered into the shop with
the weekly paper. He handed it to
George and George asked me if I’d
like to have a look at it. “Sure thing,’’
I said. “I notice by the label here that
you’ve subscribed to this paper up till
1960. Eight years, that’s quite a sub
scription.”
“Oh that,” said Bill, “Well, you see,
we were just helping Ann VanWyck
and Margaret Connell. They’re still
trying to work their way through col
lege. They’ve been trying to get there
for eight or nine years now by selling
subscriptions to magazines and news
papers.” •
“Speaking of College and school and
the like, what about the other three
teachers we had, Miss Wallace, Miss
MacGregor and Mr. Stutkey?”
“Let me think,” mused George.
“Miss MacGregor, of course, is still
at the old stand. Mr. Stuckey took an
extended course in painting and went
to South America to paint some of the
rare jungle plants, pictures of them,
that is. As for Miss Wailace, she ac-.
cepted a position on the west coast
where they're compiling historical
facts about the savages of the stone
age.”
Getting back to any paper, I glanced
here and there through it. I saw one
item on the front page that almost
took me by storm. It read “Coming
to Wingham Town Hall, the Well
wood Ballet Troup. Original music
and dance compositions by Charles
Wellwood. Program produced and dir
ected by Charles Wellwood of the
Charles Weljwood Productions, Inc.”
“Charlie Wellwood a ballet dancer <—

the next page was an ad. that caught
my eye. It was about vacations. It
went: "Let us arrange your vacation
now. Extended week-end vacations a
specialty. The K, Jackson Vacation
Bureau,” “I should have got him to
get me an August vacation instead of
one in May,” 1 said to George.
On the next page was a serial mur
der mystery,written by whom? Myrtle
Fothergill. "That’s not the Myrtle
Fothergill who used to go to school
here, is it?” I asked,
"The same one/’ the two replied,
"I suppose/' continued George, "yon 1
