BUSH FIRE AT GRAND BENZ) Forest fire on Sunday swept 500 acres of valuable bushland along a 25 -mile front between the Blue Water Highway and the Shore of Lake HIuron. The fire, believed to have started from brush fires ori neighbor- ing farms, roared and crackled through the dry bushland and forced scores of lakeside cottagers to flee X1'0111 their temporary summer homes. Fortunately the flames did not des- troy any. of the summer cottages. Volunteer fire fighters turned' out to fight the blaze and it was not un - ti] late Sunday night that the flames were considered under control. A second outbreak Sunday night kept men up 'm.ost of the, night, but a skeleton crew was maintained for an all-night vigil and the remainder of the grimy crew of weary volunteers was allowed to get some rest after a strenuous day of fire fighting. Ccttagers, the majority of them at the lake for their first weekend of the season, fled from the area with their most prized possessions but as night fell and the wind shifted they were able to return. The flames failed to . reach any of about 40 ,summer homes and no one was hurt in the strenuous fight which at times during the afternoon scerned'hopeless.

EXPECT COVER 20,000 CHILDREN AT STRATFORD Preparations for the visit of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth to Stratford, on June 6, are rapidly be- ing completed; the only problem so far being the small number of ex - servicemen who have signed up to act as special constables for the day, to patrol the scene and look after the large number of school children who will be present. It is estimated that more than 20,000 school children from the counties of Perth, Iiuron and Bruce and Stratford will get a glimpse of Their Majesties. Mayor Thomas E. Henry of Stratford, made an appeal asking the ex -servicemen HON R. B. BENNETT OWNS COLLECTION ANTIQUE SILVER Rt. Hon. R. B. Bennett, the Eng- lish squire who -was once Prime Min - aster of Canada, owns one.. of the world's . most interesting collections of antique silver. This collection, . which would be famous if Mr. Bennett were not so. quiet .about it, had as its piece de resistance a miniature tea service on a tray about the size of a saucer. We say "had" because this exquisite little service is no longer in the col- Ilection. "R. B." gave it to a little god -daughter as a christening pres- ent. As soon as she is old enough to be trusted with the miniature spoons —which are no longer than tooth. picks broken in halves -this little girl will .gives herself her first les- sons in hospitality, Ik THIEVES AGAIN VISIT LUCAN Thieves paid their second visit to Lucan in two days when they entered 'the J.
