Congratulations! New System The opening of school last week made news and as well a new form of rule in this parish. After decades of disagreement among the school supporters there was division of opinion among the ratepayers, causing the establish- ment of more than one school. Today, after much discussion, they have come to what is believ- ed a peaceful and sane cqiiclusion. It means that they have united to the Convent School, and will probably be under one board. Children in the parish are transported to and from school by bus, which will greatly add to the comfort of children by being pick- ed up at their home gateway. The bus is in charge of Mr. Louis Ayotte, who is giving his most careful attention for the safety of the charge entrusted him. Boy Scout News (By PAT O'BRIEN) The Boy Scouts start the 1959- 60 season with great hopes of a good year, A big event this year will be Boy Scout Apple Day, which will be held in October, The Boy Scouts plan to set up a First Aid Post at the Fall Fair and thereafter at any event which may need a first aid post. The story which I am about to tell is to remind you that the Boy Scout troop here in Zurich is on call at all time for first aid work, locating missing• children, etc. Some twenty years ago there was a particularly disastrous for- est fire over a wide area of Nor- thern Ontario. Many homes were burned and many lives were lost. Many more would have been lost but for the courage of rescuers. Naturally these included a numb- er of Scouts and leaders. . A Success The reports for the returns of the supper and picnic held in the St. Joseph Parish on September 6 were very encouraging. The societies working together in sp- onsoring it, and with the co-opera- tion of the parishioners, made the affair a success. Something this parish should be proud of is that the winners were from outside of the parish, which shows that the people of today, regardless of creed or col- our, take part and co-operate with their neighbours which is a brother -like way to show their sentiment. The net income for the day was over one thousand dollars, and that is very pleasing to all. man were directed to take a st- ring of box cars in to the town from the south, to bring out the refugees. Scout Mahlon Moore, of the 1st Timmins Troop, 16 years old, vol- unteered to go with the engine - men. There were two miles of chocking smoke and fire, with the possibility at any moment that the engine would strike a fallen tree, or a fire -spread rail and plunge into the ditch. But the train got through, and Scout Moore did his part in assisting the frightened people aboard. For- tunately there came a shift in the wind,. and the train got safely away. That change of wind also pos- sibly saved the lives of Rover Scout Rathwell and District Com- missioner Rev. Ellis Grindley, who had been helping people to the railway. They remained to join the fire fighters when the wind changed. Both required medical care afterwards. Perhaps you don't know what a real forest fire is like. Well it is a pretty terrible thing. Usually there is a strong wind blowing and then the fire travels actually asfast as a train. The flames lit- erally race along the ground, and flash up evergreens trees, one after the other, as though the trees were covered with powder. The air is full of grey, stinging smoke and flying cinders, and through the murk blood red flam- es roar like some great monster, hungry to lick out your life. Well this was that kind of fire. Around the little mining town of North Cobalt the flames were dri- ven by a 70 -mile -an -hour wind. All escape was cut off except by the railroad.
