Today. in Ontario, all fire 'departments are . equipped and trained to work closely with bcith the ambulance and:pollee departments. - Too often In the past, when someone called for assistance In an emergency situation, they notified only police and ambulance. When these people arrived on the scene they found they needed the help of the fire department with extraction equipment and/or fire protection. They must then call out the nearest fire department. This means time and time can and has cost lives. Remember, in many Instances your fire department can be at the scene before the ambulance or police. Your local fire department belongs to you, let us help. The emergency number Is 528-3131. Peter Steer, Fire Chief. HAVE AN OPINION?

(Marg Burkhart photo) English boy takes French leave from MacLeod farm, 1920 70 years ago August 26, 1920 English boy takes French leave - Mr. John D. MacLeod, of the 5th concession, Kinloss, has been much puzzled for the past couple of weeks over the sudden disap- pearance of Willie Fleetwood, an English lad about 17 years of age, who had been with him the far the past year and four months. Mr. MacLeod bought a bicycle for the lad a few weeks ago, and he was riding about on Sunday, August 8. During the evening he was at George Taylor's, and as it became dark before he thought of returning to MacLeod's, he accepted an in- vitation to stay for the night. In the morning he went away on his wheel, presumably to go to MacLeod s. Rut he evidently decided to ' go elsewhere, for MacLeod has not since seen him, nor has been able to learn anything of him. Mr. MacLeod will be very glad to get any information about the lad, as he had come to regard him al- most as one of the family. 50 years ago August 22, 1940 Trail Rangers off to camp - Thir- teen members of the local Trail Rangers left early Wednesday mor- ning for a week at camp at Mirimichi Bay near Port Elgin,. where they will occupy the Summer School buildings.
