MIDNIGHT FIRE
DESTROYED GARAGE
'Two Cars Also. Prey of Flames
Shortly after midnight last Wed-
unesday the call of the fire siren aw-
akened the town, and before many.
aninutes had passed crowds gathered,
at Jack McKay's garage on Frandis
St., which the fire completely des-
troyed, Mr. McKay had not yet gone
to bed, when he was notified that
blames were issuing from the . garage,
a fire alarm was put in at once, and
by the' time the firemen arrived the
building was burning fiercely.
Mr. Jackson's house, next door,
eves in great danger of taking fire
;as the flames were scorching the
}paint, but all danger • of it becoming
iprey to the flames was over as soon
.as the water was turned on the build-
ing. The 'firemen then turned their
attention to the garage and succeed-
build -
led ing,in confining the fire to 'that build -
ng, but were unable to save it or
the contents which were: W. Van-
'Wyck's Nash Sedan; Jack McKay's.
;Durant Sedan and a considerable
,quantity 'of premium good such, as
:clocks, dishes, hand bags, smoker
:sets and magazine tables, which Mr.
:McKay had stored in the building.
Mr. VanWyck had his ` car insur-
e •ed and Mr, McKay had his car and
-stock insured so the loss will not be
as great as it otherwise.would' have
:been. The cause of the fire is un -
'known.

Field on the death of his wife in the
tragic accident of the same day, also
to Miss Reading on the. death of her
mother. Thanking 4 the electors for
giving hint an acclamation, Mr. Wil-
lis stated that he believed that any
Mayor or Reeve should have two
years at least in office so he could
the better carry out his program of
work. He called attention to the fact
that the tax. rate was reduced 2 mills
(over $2000) this year and stated if
at all possible further reductions
would be made during 1933. He also.
thanked' the council for their support
during the year. In answer to some
criticism he had heard regarding the
issuing .of $2500 of debentures during

The lodge rooms of the Maitland
Lodge No. 119, I,0.0.F. was : com-
fortable filled on Wednesday even-
ing of last week, when .members
from the different lodges in the dist-
rict were present to listen to an el-
oquent and masterful address deliver-
ed by Rev. Bro. Cummer of London
Grand Master of the Order in Ont-
ario.
He opened his address by giving.
a statistical report of the growth
and decline of the Order, stating that
in 1921 the peak had" been reached
when prosperity was at its highest
and since then there has been a grad-
ual loss in membership. After a care-
ful study of, Oddfellowship, and even
in the face of the great •loss he was
convinced that : the Order was in a
stronger, position today than that of
of ten years ago.
TRAGIC DEATH
OF MRS. T. FIELD
Mr. Thomas Field Was Also Badly
Hurt, But Not Seriously: Purely
Accidental, States Traffic Offic-
er, J. Foxton."
On Monday afternoon the tragic
news of the sudden death of Mrs.
Thomas Field in Scott Memorial Hos
pital, .Seaforth, cast a";gloom over
Wingham which has not been exper-
ienced in a long time.
On Monday morning Me and Mrs.
•
Field left for Londpn by motor, and
when they were practically into the
village of Hensall, about 11 o'clock,
the car skidded in the icy ruts and be-
fore Mr. Field had time to stop head-
ed across the ditch and struck a tree.
Mrs.' Field suffered a fractured ver-
tebrae of the neck .and "passed away.
in Scott Memorial' Hospital one and
a half hours after ,the accident.
Mr. Field was severely injured, re-
ceiving a fractured, nose, three brok-
en ribs, severe cuts to his face as well
as being badly bruised and shaken
up, but was able to return to Wing -
ham on Tuesday, after spending 24
hours in the, hospital at Seaforth.
The car was badly damaged, the
front part being crushed in. The
fact that the car was travelling at a
slow rate of speed no 'doubt was re-
sponsible for Mr. Field's not receiv-
ing even more serious injuries. High-
way Traffic Officer J. Foxton, of
Mitchell, investigated and considered
the accident unavoidable.
A''post mortem was conducted by
Corner Dr. Burroughs of Seaforth.
No announcement of an inquest has
as yet been made.
Mrs. Field was born in Howick
Township and was a life long resi-
dent of this town and district. Be-
fore her marriage to Thomas T.
Field in 1902 her maiden name was
Ida Maude Rush. She was a member
of the Wingham United Church, and
took a very active part in the activi-
ties of the church,, bng treasurer of
the Women's Association.
She leaves to mourn herloss be-
sides her husband, six sisters and two
brothers,. Mrs: P. S. Strohm, Mrs. M.

WELL ATTENDED
Altar . 'Society of Sacred. Heart
Church Served Nearly 400 Meals
The fowl supper held in the Coun-
cil Chamber last Thursday evening
under the auspices of the Altar Soc-
iety of,the Sacred Heart Church was
a most successful event. The tables
were neatly decorated with flowers,
and the quantity and quality of good
things to eat that were served prov-
ed that the ladies of . this society
no pains in their preparations for the
supper.
For some time. before the supper
tickets had been sold on a Lyric El
ectric Radio, a pair of all wool blan-
kets and 100 pounds of sugar. The
draw was made the evening of the
supper and the radio waswon by
Mrs. H. ,Shane, Wingham, the blan-
kets by Miss Frances Brophy, Tees
water, and. the sugar by Monsignor
Father Mahoney, of London. During
the supper a bottle of beans was on
display and the correct guess, 990,
was made by Miss Anna McKinnon,
near Wingham, who received' as a
prize a beautiful centre piece.
Following the supper a dance was
held, Arthur's Orchestra supplying
the music. A large number remain-
ed to enjoy the dance.
Tractors Will Not
Be Made in Kincardine
Kincardine had visions for the past
some months of having a tractor
manufacturing plant there that would
add greatly to the manufacturing ac-
tivity of the town and all looked well
until just recently work which was
done in preparation for manufacture
stopped. It seems that the bubble
has burst and that all the trouble
that the town fathers have gone to
to procure this industry was for 'no-
thing.

Appealed from Judgment Awarding
Damages in Auto Mishap
The Township of Turnberry suc-
ceeded in an appeal to the Appellate
Court at Osgoode Hall, Toronto,
from a judgment awarding a farmer
of that township, Robert C. Weir,
$1,750 damages, for clainage.s suffer-
ered when a motor car, in which he
was a passenger, struck an obstruc-
tion on the highway between conces-
sions 10 and 11. The accident occur-
red about midnight, Oct. 6, 1930, the
car travelling, according to the tes-
timony, about 35 miles an hour.
"This car, going about 35 miles
an hour," said Chief Justice Latch-
ford, "was proceeding along a coun-
try road. In view' of two members
of the court the act does not im-
pose upon a municipality in the cir-
cumstances of this case the duty cf
so maintaing a highway so ,that a
motorist can run over it at 35 miles
an hour in a fog—as in this case."
Justice Grant dissented from the
view of the majority of the court and
thought the appeal. should be dis-
missed.
Weir had an arm broken and sus-
tained other severe injuries as a re-
sult of the accident and claimed
$5,000 damages.
