House and Stable Burned' The fire bell was rung again in the village on Wednesday night after a lapse of almost fifteen years when it summoned help for the fire which de- stroyed the home of Mr. Joe Magrath.

Wingham fire truck arrived shortly after the call was re- ceived and while nothing could be ' done to save the house or stable they made it possible for neighbours to breathe easier by putting a stop to the sparks which the wind was showering over their homes.
