During the dreaded "Fin" epedemio of 19108, Mrs, Kerr was the only trained help available within a hun- dred miles which then took about a week for the return trip. For her outstanding work at that time the Provincial Secretary wrote ber on behalf of his government thanking her for the help she had rendered to the isolated community during that trying time. After thriteen years of pioneer services during which they had seen great changes taking place—roads being opened up, (The Alcan Highhway had its start later in their first field at Dawson Creek.) 1 They also saw hospitals schools and churches built and many other 1•m - Iprovements take place.

He attended Ethel Public School until entrance and still thinks Mr. George Dobson tone of the finest teachers he ever had. Mr. a,nd Mrs: Kerr look forward with hope and expectation to work in this parish. Annual I.O.O.F.

It is for the protection of all and no one knows'when or where fire wilt break out. Enquiries bad been made some- time ago re the cost of better equipment and we have been inform- ed that a new Mire truck is now on order from the War Assets Corpora. tion, The United Church The Holy Communion was ad- ministered at the morning service at the 'United Church.

The first alarm was turned into the telephone office at approximately 7.15 p.m., by Adrian McTaggart who observed the fire in the rear of the hardware store. The firemen responded promptly, but failure of equipment to promptly operate properly. caused a few minutes delay and the blaze quickly spread and burned furiously within minutes.

The inference bas been drawn that he first founded a number of local Christian communities. and then drew them together into a cnnfedsr, icy which he designated "the Church" As a matter of tart the idea of the unity of the Church is not absent from his earlier Epistles. With all the references to house - churches, city churches. and pro- vincial groups of churches, there are also occasional solemn references to "The Church Of God." The believer finds himself a member of a local ohurch, but thereby a member of the universal Church of God.

DANCING At Wingham Arena Friday, July 12th To the music of Clliff Gordon and His Orchestra Dancing from 10 to 1. Admission 50c Huge billows of smoke poured into the sky and it was stated by One observer that he had plainly sighted the smoke at Seebaoh Hill, just about seven utile west of Stratford on the highway between that city and Seal' rt'h, The flames spread both north and south along the roof tops and at one time it was feared that many of the buildings in the block might go. Residents of nearby apartments commenced removing some of their possesinns but the tireless efforts of the firemen had the flames eomplete- Iy meter control before midnight The Downing shoe store and s'nck c.uffeeed heavy damage from water Jed smoke as did the Martin bather shell to the scsth of the main blaze,. The barber shop had only re'or.'le been come t' c ly decorated. The anartment sieve, occupied 97 Mr. and Mrs. Martin and family. was ws'er soaked. The contests were procticah1y ruined by water and moire. The Martin family, with guests had gone to Goderlch for the day and despite extensive efforts it was impossible to contact them and they were Unaware of the damage to their home and business until they arrived here while the fire was still burning. Wm. McWhirter, electrician, who worked in connection' with the Gregg Hardware was a heavy loser. All his eleotrical equipment was burnt. This is Mr. McWhirter's second loss by fire recently. His supplies were consumed in the Dublin creamer, fire some months ago, It is extremely fortunate that there was no wind on Thursday night if there had been it is probable that a large part of the business section would have been burned. The loss by fire, the origin of which has not been determined, to buildings and stock suffered by the Gregg brothers, was only part- ially covered by insurance and they have not yet decided if they will re- build or not, They have the sym- pathy of the community in their loss and their many friends and business acquaintances hope that they wilt build again here in the near future.
