All had fled the smoke filled house in
night attire. Dr. Cowen said he was
awakened by the animals cries to find
his bedroom thick ,with'smoke. Arous-
ing his wife and children, he telephon-
ed an alarm to the local ope.rator who
sounded the electric siren atop the
town hall. More than a score of vol-
unteer firemen responded and after a
90 minute battle, using two hose lines,

Wolves which a few years ago were
little known in Western Ontario e.xtept
by stories' told by the pioneers are now
numerous throughout the whole area.
Even as far south as Niagara Falls
‘they are causing alarm. A newspaper
,despatch told the other day a pack of
six timber -wolves was sited boldly
crossing the Queen Elizabeth way in
Stamford Township near Niagata
rails. A posse of nearly a dozen farm-
ers in the area quickly was organized
and armed with shot guns they corn:
menced tracking clown the maranders,
Footprints of the animals were plainly
seen in the snow. Foxes too are more
numerous than was the case some
years ago and deer. in old Ontario are
no longer a novel sight.—ArthUr En-
terprise.

5. In business dealings, re-
member Canada'sreputation

6. To sum it up, follow the
"Golden Rule.
Ontario'i ski trails mean fun for hundreds of friendly
visitors from the States every year, We want them to
enjoy themselves . . . so they'll keep on coining! Let's
' do all we can to make their visit a real pleasure!
WHAT CAN DO? The answer is eplerityl Here are some
of the things anyone can do. These practical suggestions
come from a well-known Ontario hotelman: Boy Killed By Truck
Seven-year-old Gregory Patton, who
three years ago survived a night in the
bush after he had lost his way, was
killed when struck by a truck driven
by his brother, Elwood, 15, near their
home at' Blantyre, 10 miles south of
Meaford. The older boy and another
brother, Roy, 13, had been hauling
snow from the front of the store oper-
ated by their parents, Mr. and Mrs.
J. W.' Patton, and the small boy had
accompanied them. As they prepared
to dump the load of snow, Gregory
jumped out of the back of the truck
and was struck by the left rear corner
of the vehicle's frame, as the older
brother backed it tip. He died almost
instantly. • •
1. Know the places of interest
and beauty spots in your
district and tell people all
about them.
2. When you write your friends
in the States tell them about
the places they would really
enjoy vititing.
3. Try to make any visitor glad
he came to Canada.

HOWICK COUNCIL
Children Change Signs ,
The members of the Rink Committee
have registered a complaint against, the
actions of some of-the younger gener-
ation who persist in changing the sign
placed at the Post Office to inform
the public when there is skating at the
Confederation Arena. One side of their
sign board announces skating and the
other hockey and regardless of which
is in vogue some prankster turns the
reverse side out with the result that
hockey is announced when skating is
on and vice versa, If the practice con-
tinues an effort will be made to ap-
prehend the perpetrator of the hoax
and when caught he will be summarily
dealt with.—Walkerton Herald.
Chimney Fire At BIyth Postoffice
A chimney fire at the Post Office
caused Mr. Tasker and a few others
who knew about it a few hours aaf anx,
iety. The chimney taught fire about
2.30 in the afternoon, just as the heavy
Christmas mail was being cleared up.
The use of several fire extinguishers
was necessary, and at one time Mr.
Tasker feared that the flames were ,
going to break out of the chimney
throtigh a pipe hole in the Post Office.
The chimney 'was clogged with soot
and men working on the roof filially
succeeded in loosening it so that it
dropped to the base. The heat was so
intense that it tratked the chimney.—
