Mysterious Explosion as
Fire Broke Out
Fire broke out in the outside up
stairs wall of the northwest corner of
Charles Rivett’s restaurant, Dungan
non, after an explosion was heard. The
inside of an empty room was found to
be full o fsmoke. Only the prompt ac
tion of a crowd of men, who soon ga
thered, saved the building. It is be
lieved that had it not been for the use
of two local fire extinguishers, the fire
would soon have been out of control.
So forcible, was the explosion that the
insulation which covered the walls of
the room was bulged out and broken.
Pails and ladders were brought into
use and soon many barrels of water
were ready to,, be used, having been
carried by a volunteer bucket brigade.

SAFE AFTER DARK?
Accused Men Released \
On $7,000 Bail Each
Max Weaver, Concord avenue, Tor
onto, 33 years of age, and Sam Man-
cuson, 24 years old, also of Toronto,
were remanded until August 22nd for
preliminary hearing on charges of
breaking and entering the Shannon
hardware store and Pudry tobacco
store at Tara, Bruce County, July 7.
They appeared in weekly police court
before Magistrate F. W. Walker at
Walkerton on Friday. They were re
leased on bail of $7,000 each, the bail
being supplied by Toronto relatives.
Reid first went to sea at 16. He
was born and brought up in Portage
du Fort, P.Q., educated at Ashbury
College, Ottawa, and Royal Naval Col
lege of Canada. He was posted to H.
M.S, Berwick as Midshipman six
months before World War One start
ed. His first two years of war exper
ience included chasing the Karlesruhe,
capturing and delivering three prizes
to Santa Lucia, and even on the Can
adian cruiser, Rainbow, he assisted in
the capture of two prize vessels..
Hardest work of his life came at
the age-of 20 on H.M.S. Attack on
convoy service out of Plymouth, with
continual fatigue, no leave, bitter cold
hours on duty, complete exhaustion at
the end of it due to bracing oneself
continually against the swift move
ment of the turning twisting naval
.craft in sub-infested waters. In 1917
this stern experience ended with his
being blown up when the “Attack”
struck a mine while on convoy in the
Mediterranean. Reid as first lieuten
ant, second in command, in the new
British destroyer “Viscount” in 1918
with the Grand Fleet, went on a mis
sion into the Baltic to. Copehagen
Ravel, Libau.
After a leave- in Canada in 1919,
Reid went off on the depot ship of a
submarine flotilla to China, to be sta
tioned at Hong Kong, which was good
travel and lots of fun. The rest of
Commodore Reid’s service up to the
outbreak of the -present war alternated
between missions with the Royal Navy
and commands iti Canada, including a
turn with Naval Intelligence, Ottawa.
In command of H.M.S. Sepoy in 1929,
he became one of the first Canadian
officers to command a British destroy
er. There was Royal Staff College in
England in 1932, and their Reid be
came staff officer on the “Warspite.”
In ’35 he was in charge of Operations
and Training at Headquarters, Ottawa,
Commander “D”, West Coast in ’36,
Capt. Reid .became C.O. Halifax, in
; ’38, and as soon as War broke'out,
was
petite. He gained 100 lbs. in fourteen
months and now weighs 290 lbs. One
recent night he woke up hungry, so,
he got up, went to the icebox and ate
five chicken intended for the family’s
dinner next day.

BOYS OF BRUCE'
What do you stand for Boys of Bruce,
As~yo-u mass a thousand strong,
As you tread otff streets with your
martial stride,
Or so cheerily swing along?
What do you stand for Boys of Bruce,
You sons of our noble sires,
You sons of the mothers whose love
and zeal
Keep glowing the old home fires.
Stand you for Liberty, Boys of Bruce,
For honour and truth and right,
For a land unsullied by tyrant’s tread,
Untramelled 'by tyrant’s might.
Stand you for Purity, Boys of Bruce,
With scorn for the sordid and base,
For noble ideals, unafraid, unashamed,
To look the whole world in the face.

Can’t Get Tar for Road Work
Work which had been under way
leading up to the har.d surfacing of the
Lucknow-Kinloss county road, has
been indefinitely suspended with little
hope that it will be resumed this year.
Failure to secure tar to surface the
road is the reason that has forced the
Bruce Highways Commission to sus
pend operations. The plan was to hard
surface the five miles from Lucknow
to 'Holyrood this season, and to con
solidate the remaining five miles from
Holyrood to Kiriloss, with this stretch
, scheduled to .be completed next year.
Already some 8,000 yards of crushed
gravel have been applied from Luck
now to Holyrood, and a stoppage of
the work leaves this road in a bad
state for driving and with the dust cre
ating a real nuisance.
