Tuesday afternoon he started up the mill to saw some logs for Leslie Pryce, of near Winthrop, He put on the saws and ran the mill far only about twenty minutes getting .it started. Then the two men went up to the house to get a drink of water, and sat on the back doorstep talking for a few minutes. When they were part way down the path to the mill they saw fire, and in a mo- ment the whole mill was in flames. The tractor was getting hot by the time they got it away after slipping off the belt which was burned. A neighbor phoned for the Sea - forth fire brigade, which made a quick run, Nothing could be done to save the building,, but the fire- men poured water into the saw dust and slabs. A drilled well is on the prop- erty but there was no way of getting water out of it. When the 500 gallon tank on the truck was empty the truck was taken half a mile east to a new farm pond where the tank was Oiled again. Mr. Mitchell could not make a guess as to the cause of the fire. He feels sure the machinery was not running long enough to get hot, The pulleys have been run- ning for years and he has never had any trouble. District residents believe there has been a sawmill there for a- round 90 years', The mill building was of timbered construction, It has been operated by the Mitch- ells for over fifty years, first by the father, later by the two sons, and after one left about 25 years ago, Alex hps carried on. "I don't know where my bro- ther is", Mr, Mitchell said. "I never hear from him." All that remains now of the mill is the old boiler and steam engine, unused for the past 20 SEAFORTH, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1965 $1.60 a Year Fire completely destroyed the sawmill of Mr. Alex Mitchell on the Logan McKillop boundary at Slabtown on Tuesday afternoon about 3.80 o'clock.

Toddlers' years, "I still used the steam engine for a jack shaft," Mr. Mitchell said, explaining' that the belt from the tractor ran to the stea.m engine wheel. This arrangement permitted the tractor to stand outside the building, which prov- ed to be a good thing Tuesday. With a westerly wind blowing no other buildings were in dan- ger, and the steel roof on the mill kept flying sparks at a minimum. On Tuesday night Louis Benne- wies, a neighbor, was plowing a fire break on the east side of the smouldering slabs and sawdust to stop the fire from spreading through the grass, Mr, Mitchell stated he will' not rebuild the mill, but may get a portable saw. His sawmill had good machinery, using two circu- lar saws, one above the other, capable of sawing the largest logs to be found in this district, one saw .being 48 inches and the other 46 inches. The mill had always been used for custom sawing, farmers bring- ing logs from their own farms mostly, to be sawn into timbers or planks for use in their build- ings, There was no lumber in the mill. .Alex Mitchell has been living at the Commercial Hotel in Sea - forth when not working.

Peewees Lose First New Fire Alarm Installed at Seaforth A new fire alarm system was installed in iSeaforbh on Thurs- day by Bell Telephone engin- eers. Seatorth is only the third place to adopt this new tele- phone alai= system, (but it is ex- pected it will be soon adopted in many towns. Street fire alarm boxes are eomlpletely eliminated, and the batteries which operated the old system and were a continual source of troulble, have been scrapped. Under the new arrangement, there are five special phones on a single line, one of these phones being at the tire . hall and the other four at the homes of firemen. When a fire alarm is phoned to central, she rings No. 100, which rings all five phpnes, and later' when bhe installation is oompiete, will also ring •a fire bell at the front of the town hall which can be heard in the neighlborlhood, The first fireman answering the phone takes the particulars Game of Semi -Finals of the location of the fire direct from the person phoning in the alarm. Also by throwing a switch he can immediately set off the big fire siren. The new alarm system worked perfectly in its first actual test on Tuesday afternoon. The only inconvenience was that the first four firemen arriving at the fireball left so quidkly 110 one in town knew 'where the fire was. However, this was only a detail, unlikely to occur again. False alarms are expected to be reduced to a minimum, as the temptation to ring in false alarms by so-called practical jokers is elhninated with the re- moval of street alarm boxes. Also, the old system automati- cally set the siren off if the battery was not fully charged or if a !break occurred any where in the circuit. Cost of bhe new system is re- garded as economical, being $29.50 including maintenance. Under the old system the town was paying $20 monthly to the P.U.C. to tend the (battery, and all maintenance on the system was extra. The ISeaforth Peewees ran in- to tough opposition against Wheatley on Monday afternoon, being defeated by 18-2 in bhe O.1B.A. semi-finals, before one off the largest crowds at a base- ball game in ,Seaforth for a number of years. It is estimat- ed about 200 people were pre- sent. The return game will be play- ed at Wheatley on Saturday af- ternoon at 2.30 and if a second game should be necessary it will start at 5.30. Six cars will leave Seaforbh for Wheatley at 9 a.m. New Bridge Near Sproat's School Tuekersmith Municipal Coun- cil met in the Town. Hall, Sea- aorta, eaforth, on Tuesday, Sept. 6th,. 1955, at 8 ham.
