But this time, within six days, Clinton's volunteer Fire Brigade has been .called out to fight no less than four blazes. Will there be a fifth and sixth? Hanover Transport Loss The .first of the group, of course,` was .the Hanover Trans- port fire late Wednesday night last, which did $200,000 damage, according to the estimate of .Fire Chief Grant W. Rath. In this spectacular fire — the second in five years in the same spot — the last taking place July 1946 . — five trucks, two tractors, and three trailers, were totally destroyed by fire, along with about 50 tons of freight. Insurance adjusters arrived Fri- day and the clean-up of the deb- ris got under way. The heavy steel beams were removed and a big clean=up was completed Tuesday. Result was that the concrete loading platform and facilities were being used once more Tuesday night—of course, with the aid of a number of tarpaulins. It is now "business as usual" with Recover Tram -port Limited, through the use oflocal in other Moilities supplemented by those centres. a a * JOYCE BELL• BAYFIELD, RE - ports seeing a whistling swan at the Bayfield River on Sunday, we are informed by Miss Lucy Woods, our Bayfield correspond- ent • The large graceful bird seemed to be making itself quite at home in the d vicinity of the. old bridge, was still there on Tuesday .

Members of the IOOF .Lodge, meeting in the lodge room above the office, smelled smoke oozing; up through the partitions, about 9 p.m., and one of them, J. JA. Sutter, Immediately notified Fire. Chief Grant W. Rath. When the Fire Brigade artrived, dense clouds of smoke were bil- lowing from the rear of the base- ment fronting on Rethenbury St., and the trouble was located in the vicinity of the furnace and boiler. Difficulty was encounter- ed in entering the basement to fight the fire. The battle lasted two hours. A. E. Rumball, superintendent, was of the opinion that the fire started when the furnace became overheated and the. boiler went redhot and burst, through failure of the automatic low-water, cut - 1 switch to operate. ,off control Water in the boiler became low, but the stoker did not cut' off on account of the failure of the switch. The boiler was absolut- ely destroyed; it was installed new about 20 years ago. William Cochrane is reported to have checked the fire at the usual hour of 4 p.m„ when every- thing was in good 'order. The Commission carried e stock valued. at $4,000 of saleable• supplies such as wiring mater- ials, lamp's, motors etc. Office and showroom were damaged only <by smoke, the fire itself having been confined to the rear portion of the building.

Monday evening. After Mr. Richardson had giv- en his views on the seriousness of the matter and had provided some details as to possible co- operative organization in this area, the meeting voted unand- {mously that a resolution be drawn up and forwarded to both Fed- eral and Provincial Governments regarding the matter. Delegates felt that it was not their respon- sibility to organize for civil de- fence. - Framing of the resolution was left in the hands of the Mayors and Reeves of the municipalities represented, and it was decided to forward the following resolu- tion to the two governments, as well as to Huron County Council, the other municipalities in the County, and other counties: CLINTONIANS RECOVERING AFTER CRASH Three members of the Alvin Lobb family, who reside on Wil- liam St., Clinton, are - recuperat- ing at their home following a three -car crash on King's High- way 8, a mile west of Mitchell.

We, your School Board, are faced with two alternatives: eith- er tb build a new school, or to build an annex to the present school. - The building we have cannot accommodate the number of children we have sent to us. The Department of Education will support us in a new build- ing with properplayground io- cillties and sanitation, but will not support us in trying to do something to the old building: We, after careful - study, agree with the • Department: that it• Iwould be a: waste of your .: money end theirs. - - t.n your " at 1-o We brine this to ti tion as we want you to realize that without government support, it will cost the ratepayers ap- proximately the same to increase our accommodation. in the old school es it will cost us, with our grant, to build a new school. The conditions as they exist have .to be improved some way and a new school has to be built in 'the very near future to keep on getting our grants. Without our grants,'. the Dost of educat- ing the children will be a very expensive condition for the rate- payers to face.
