Bucket brigade saves Whitechurch shed
BY VALETTA EMERSON
The folks of Whitechurch
wish to thank those who on
Monday evening last brought
their -fire extinguishers to the
fire and to those who carried
water in buckets to hold the
fire from getting too much
headway until the Wingham
firemen arrived on the scene.
When the Wingham firemen
joined the Whitechurch out-
fit, the blaze was soon
reduced and the danger of
the blaze spreading to near-
by buildings lessened. The
church shed walls are of
cement, the roof of steel but
it was the rafters which
became hot.
Mrs. Agnes Farrier and
her helpers, Mrs. John de
Boer, Mrs. Don Ross, Mrs.
Archie Purdon, Mrs. Bill
Versteeg, Russel Chapman,
Linda Moore and Mrs. Bill
Purdon raised S128 for the
Bible Society. Mrs. Farrier
extends her thanks to her
helpers for the work of the
collectors.
