her trip was much more eventfuI
than our own, so we will leave you
with her,
MISS . WOODS LOST NO TIME
in getting back to work as
this issue of the paper testifies ...
and included in this column is her
story of a horse " . . The story of
her championship made the wires
of 'Canadian Press, and under the
dateline Ottawa,' has appeared in
daily papers from coast to coast
'This week, too, Arthur Ford,
-4 the editor-in-chief ' of the London
Free Press' has made Lucy and
Bayfield the subject matter for one
of hiss'•interesting colunms

very 'ihtetested;in.the local hap
penins , . For instance, Premier

SECOND OF IMPORTANCE ON
the horizon is the coming Spring
Show' scheduled for May 28 at the
Park .. . and all of us are doing
a ,spot of extra prayer that the
Weather will be good , The Hon.
F. S. Thomas, minister of agricul-
ture, will be here to unveil the
memorial plaque ... The Bannock-
burn Band is expected to play
and we recall mention in another
weekly of Thomas' remark at the
nomination meeting in his own rid-
ing He admitted that while
he likes the bagpipes he thinks
one can appreciate them better at
the `"proper distance" . , , Reminds
us of theoldgimmick of asking a
piper to play "Far, Far Away" , , .
At any rate the Bannockburn lads
should not take this amiss
the wide reaches of the Commun-
ity Park can absorb a mighty lot
of the stout piping music .
WE ALSO BECAME~ VERY INT-
erested in the road making' down
on King Street . . , so interested
indeed, that we promptly wrote a
rather scathing editorial 'on the
subject of what we thought of
those who cut down trees'. . Un-
fortunately the thing was in print
before we had opportunity to check
with Deputy Reeve Stanley and
now we are rather sorry we had
not written it differently :.. We
are still very much perturbed
about the cutting of the trees
but we understand that each of
them has been tested and only
those considered to be past their
prime, apparently, are to be cut
down .. ,

AND FROM OUR CHAMPION
Corrirspondent "Pinto is just what
his name suggests ... a pinto pony
belonging to George and Don Bell
On Wednesday this beautiful
pet decided that life was too, lon-
ely and uninteresting in the Bell
barnyard.. , . so he ventured forth
to greener pastures..'.. He found
them at Maynard Conies home on
'the Bayfield concession road , ,
where he nibbled chrysanthemums
and grazed a few shrubs,. . . A
hasty call from Mrs. Corrin to
Don Bell, working in Clinton ,
brought him here in a hurry to
rescue the pony ... In the mean-
time Pinto had been chased off
the. Corrie property . . cleared
Joe McEwan's fence : , . and was
captured by the driver of a bread
wagon who got a rope around his
neck ... Don Bell and his father,
Charles Bell whowas tilling a field

will have to be tied up in the

Mrs. R H. Middleton who would

that we could do it by airplane.

since Canada has gone backward
in postal service and there is only
one delivery a day, in the cities, it

When Mrs, Middleton checked

so three-quarters of an hour be-

Nearly $18,000
Loss In Fire
Near Londesboro
(By our Londesboro correspondent),
Forty pigs, two calves, and one
cow perished early last Friday
morning as fire of unknown origin
destroyed a 40 by 80 -foot barn on
the farm of John Miller, about 13e,
miles east of Londesboro; on eon-
cession ten, Hullett Township:
Loss was estimated at between
$10,000 and $18,000.
Rushing into the flaming struc-
ture, Mr. Miller managed to save
only seven cows. In• trying to save
another animal he suffered a gash
in his forehead when he was "horn-
ed". ITe was not seriously injured,
however.
Mr. Miller discovered the blaze
when he wept to the barn to start
his morning chores. As be opened
the door to the building, searing
flames and intense heat shot out
at him.
He ,ran to his house 200 feet
away and told his wife who im-
mediately called the Blyth fire de-
partment. When firefighters ar-
rived they were unable to save
the structure and concentrated on
preventing the flames from spread-
ing to the house.
There was very little wind to
