This district comprises the municipali- ties of Wingham, Brussels, East Wa- wanosh, Morris, Turnberry and How- ick. This year an appeal was made to every household and letter each con- taining 200 seals were sent out, with the result that 1026 people in the dis- trict responded to the appeal. The tot- al amount received was $1893.15, con- tributions ranging from 10c to $25.00, with an average of $1.89 per contribu- tion. Many letters of appreciation were received testifying to the value of the project. This money is being used in Huron County for the establishment of free X-ray Clinics and other projects to as- sist in eliminating tuberculosis. Wing- ham had one of these clinics last year when more than 3000 people were X- rayed. Other parts of the district will receive this service during 1948. Produce Depot Gutted, and Furniture Stock Damaged by Smoke and Water A fire loss' of close to $35,000 was caused at Brussels last Wednesday morning when flames gutted the pro- duce depot on Turnberry Street, own- ed and operated by Hugh Pearson, and the apartments above it. The figure in- cludes several thousand dollars' dam!. age to stock of the D. A. Rann furni- ture and undertaking business in the adjoining building. Robert Gemniel, Brussels Fire Chief, suffered severe facial burns wide attempting to enter the blazing build- ing, but he continued to direct opera- tions. The body of the late John. Grant, resting in the funeral parlour, was re- moved during the fire and taken to the United Church, whence the funeral took place that afternoon. The fire, which apparently broke out in the egg room of the produce plant, was first noticed` about 6;00 a.m. by Mrs. Alex, Coleman, ,who lives in an apartment next door, and the flames spread rapidly. Despite difficulties in obtaining a quick flow of water, owing to ice in the river, the fire-fighters were soon able to prevent the blaze from spreading to the adjoining buildings. At 7:30 a.m. the roof collapsed, but, with the assist- ance of the Wingham Fire Brigade, which arrived at 7:40, the fire was soon completely under control. BRIE CLUB Eight tables were present on Thurs- day evening at the weekly meeting of the Wingham Bridge Club. The result of the play was as follows: North and South-1st Mrs. A. R. DuVal and J. H.

As forecast the C.C.F. failed to place a candidate in the Huron by-election, leaving the contest to Progressive-Con- servatives and Liberals. - The straight two-party fight entering its final week finds two friendly Exeter businessmen competing for the honor of representing Huron in the Ontario Legislature.

Some weeks ago the P.C's picked Thomas Pryde as their candidate while the Liberals chose Benson W. Tuckey.

With both teams heading their indi- vidual groups and both undefeated to date, the game resembled a play-off ex- hibition, with plenty of thrills, remark- able stick handling, and a free-for-all added in for good measure. Thurs- day's game is just a sample of the hockey expected should these two teams meet first in the play-offs, and by all reports, Goderich will no doubt meet the Spitfires in the first round, with Listowel and Durham the likely rivals in that section. 1931, In 1934 he married Mr,s Carrie Golding of Burks Fallls, who survives.
