That short tragic message usually applied in military deaths can be used here to briefly state the manner in which fireman Charles Consigney died last Sunday afternoon while battling a fire. Consigney answered a call to 1.3005 Eight Mile road, with the township lire department, and im- mediately- went into action to ex- tinguish a blaze in a watchman's shanty on the property of the North - town Transit Company. A burning mattress and other material had caused tremendous billows of thick smoke. After the fire was under control, Consigney went inside the shack to remove the smoking mattress, ac- cording to Chief William Van Hulie, said as he was coming out he lunged forward and was caught by volun- teer fireman Lawrence Marshall, Experienced firemen immediately applied artificial respiration and em- ployed the use of an inhalator. Township police transferred him to the Saratoga Hospital but to no avail as it is believed he died almost instantly. Coroner Wm, Clyde pro- nounecd death due to suffocation. The news of his death was a ter- rine shock to his family as Charlie's birthday was also the day of his death and a little celebration had been planned. Mr. and Mrs. Consigney moved to VanDyke about 18 years ago and I have been living at 8300 Hudson street for four years. There are fou children in the family, Eileen, whose u.sband 1st Sgt, Arthur 'Kalwin 1 ii the Army; Dorothy, 23, whose husband, Sgt. Charles Rabedeau, has teen overseas 18 months; Betty, 8, and S2c Edward who has been in the Navy seven months. Edward was in Florida and received a leave from his training station at Fort Lauder- dale. With the exception of Edward all the children live at home. Mrs, Myrtle Foy is a sister. Mr. Consigney was a veteran of World War 1, having served in France with the Canadian army with which he enlisted at the age of 15. He was wounded by shrapnel. Prior to joining the township fire department he had been employed at Packard's and before that he worked for the Farm Crest bakeries for 13 years. He was well known on the local baseball diamonds where he actively participated and was an outstanding pitcher. He played baseball until last year. On the ice he was a very Stood hockey player and played for the Farm Crest team, In his early manhood he gained quite a reputa- tion as a football player. Besides his family his only sur- vivors are an aunt and uncle who he recently visited in Canada, and a sister.

Gun Plant in Foothills Aids Atlantic Convoys Three thousand, four hundred and thirty-eight feet above sea level and 2,600 rail miles from the Atlantic seaboard, the Canadian Pacific Railway's Ogden Shops in Calgary provides an outstanding example of the switch -over of the entire C.P.R. system from peace to war. Naval guns made there, at one of the approaches to the Rooky Moun- tains, have played, and are play- ing, thein' part on those other celebrated approaches—the At- lanticapproaches to the Old Country—over which supplies for the fighting fronts liave to pass. The 12 -pounder gun, inset on the left, in this picture of mer Work finishing gun barrels in the great foothills work centre, is a sample of the type of ordnance turned out at Ogden Shops, which now is preparing to go into production on its fifth type of naval gun mount. British, Canadian and American sea ser- vices all have shared in .the. ordnance tutored out to fight against Hitler's underwater kill- ers. Ogden Shops' floor space of 235,000 square feet, full overhead crane service and geographical location first convinced the De- partment of Munitions and Sup- ply and its advisers that the Calgary shop was an ideal place to turn out the naval guns. and a request was made for its use late in the Fall of 1040. To make way for the navy work the shops had first to be cleared of the major locomotive and mechanical repairs it normally handled for the C.P:R, from British Colum- bia, Alberta and part of Saskat- chewan, with this repair schedule of vital importance in itself to war freight and passenger move- ments. Heavy repairs now go to Winnipeg' and in some cases as far as Angus Shops in Montreal and light repairs to smaller local repair shops.
