Fire at ,Goderich Elevator • The Goderich fire brigade fought an awkward fire at the plant of the ,Goderich Elevator and -Transit Co., when flames broke out inside the building about 75 feet up from the ground. It is believed a spark from a welding apparatus caused the blaze, whiCh spread amongst the wooden pulleys and belts. A pumper was placed in the lake and the hose was pulled up through the leg of the ele- vator with ropes. The brigade had to stand under the blaze to throw the water into it, with the result that the water fell back on them, drenching them to the skin.

We gathered that the editor was of the opinion that it was set too high for Fergus, According to his figures their quota was $2.32 per person and they succeeded in raising .$2:50 per person. The editor of the Chesley Enterprise called the attention of the Fergus paper to the wonderful show- ing made in Lucknow and Wingham but the Fergus editor did not know about these figures: For his infor- mation and for the information of the general public we might say that Wingham is very proud of the support that it has given to the Red Cross. The first campaign held here near the INTERESTING CLIPS ! OF DISTRICT NEWS start of the war - 'we raised about $4800. or $2,42 per person. In every Red Cross campaign - since that time we have done better and in the recent drive that closed in March we had an average of $2.90 per person. Our population is 2045 and the amount subscribed by Wingham • folk: was $5935.40.

FACED with the difficulties created by wartime shortages in labor and machinery, Canadian farmers carried on withlhe equipment that was avail- able, and it is a tribute to their energy and enterprise that they have attained the tremendous increases needed to serve the needs of the United Nations. To assist them in 'their greater pro- duction, programmes, Massey-Harris and its dealers set new and higher standards of service to farmers. In the maintenance of equipment in the hands of farmers, they have prolonged the use of machines beyond their normal life period, and by reconditioning and rebuilding, they have put back into service machines-much needed to com- pensate for the shortage• of new ones. In the supplying of parts—always a feature with the Company—Massey- Harris and its dealers have, during these difficult days •of shortage., rendered such an outstanding service' as to earn the reputation of being-"The Best Farm Machinery Service in' Canada."
