Miss 1Vlary Adams, of London, suf-
fered painful burns and the sum-
mer home of A. J. Walker, of Lon-

of an explosion of the gasoline range
when something went wrong with
stove. Miss Adams was burned in
attempting to rescue her belongings
from the blazing frame structure.
Miss Leah Haycock of London and
Miss Graham and Miss'Luniley of
St. Thomas, narrowly escaped in-
jury.
' The house was owned ''and occu-.
pied until a few .days ago by A. J.
Walker,....a teacher at the London
Technical School.- He,. with Mem-
bers of his family', motored to To-
bermory and left the London and
St. Thonias young women in charge
of the cottage .;
It was impossible to save clothing
money or furniture and the four -
occupants are. entirely destitute of
belongings. Miss Adams, , with the
others, made repeated efforts to
save their valuables, but only met
with burned hands and singed hair.
The home -of A. J. Watson, of
London, was threatened by the
fierce blaze of the Walker house,
but was saved by cottegers and vil-
lagers, who formed a bucket brid-
ade. The furniture was moved out
when the fire was at its height.

IN MEMORIAM •
COLLINGWOOD—In loving memory
of •a dear • husband and. father,
James Collingwood, who passed
away August 18, 1924,
Oh for a faint, last wish we should
like to have heard,
And Oderstand his long and fare-
well Wave
For he left a loving, aching heart
behind
Longing\to clasp his hand, hear his
voice, and see his smiles again.
But some day we Itiono to meet in
tht better land,
Thongh'his loving voice is silent and
his true heart ceased to beat;`
When alone in nay sorrow the many
tears flow,'
And unseen by the world he stands
by my side
And whispers "Don't fret Ma, death
can not divide.
