SMOKE FATAL TO
CHARLES CONSIGNEY
The following from a Det+'1
Paper refers to the death on Jo
' 1.6th of Charles Consigney, form
Seaforth resident, and nephew
Mr, and Mrs. Louis Aberhart
Seaforth:
Died in action. 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.

C.P.R. 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.
