Whole Nutn'ber 8959 FIRE THREATENS LARGE ll$KY FLAX PLANT AT SEAFOkTH Excellent Work of Fire Brigade Prevents Conflagration. ON . THURSDAY NIGHT Seaforth Fire Brigade battled for over two •hours before getting the fire wwhieh broke out in the Hesky Flax Products Ltd., shortly after 11 o'clock on Thursday night last, under control. The brick plant, which covers :half ..a town block and has been operating on a 24-hour basis• on war contracts, was filled with machinery and flax products, and had the fire ever got beyond control, not only ,the plant, but ,a' number of residences and other buildings would undoubtedly have gone ug in ,smoke, as the district is all built up. Fortunately, however, there was no wind, and the rain and snow, of the previous week-exd; which broke six weeks of dry weather, materially as- sisted in fighting, the flames and pre- venting the spread of the fire caused by burning embers which fell like rain on thhe -roofs of buildings over the-distrist. The mechanical sprink- ller system, with which the main buildings are equipper, also went in- to operation at the start of the fire, .which eliminated the danger of the fix a spreading - to the main parts of the building. Chief „praise, however, goes to the Fire Brigade, which kept five lines of hose .praying on .the 'buildings and ittandied .the situation as quickly and efficiently as any professional brigade could have done. The blaze is supposed to have orig- inated in the dust collecting section of the works, and the damage was confined to the cupola , at the dust chamber and the dust collecting cy- clones. A number of horses and a quantity of valuable farm equipment, which were kept in a barn', : and,aapna imple- ment storage shed connected with the mill, were removed to safety, al- though the buildings were not dam- aged- • Mr. Thomas Crouoh;e •manager of the plant, stated that the factory re - sinned work as mama o , Tuesday of this week, -sand ''has n operating normal)ever since. y ace.

Davis and Margaret Hills. Thirty years ago he inherited the homestead, west of Staffa, cleared from bush .,by his father, and on. which die himself was born. On his father's death he continued the farm, making a home for his aged mother and sisters. Some thirteen years later his mother pass- ed away. Throughout his life he had devoted himself to inaproving his fine farm home and 'making a success of his business of farming. In recent years he had gone extensively into production of beef cattle and finished several carloads each year. Since the war he has increased his production of both beef and pork. He was widely known in the surrounding commun- ity as a reliable man who did busi- ness by word of mouth, Although possessed • o1, necessary ability and good judgmeet,'he never sought, but rather evaded public office, "and the only interest that detracted' him from his farming, was the Hibbert Co-oper- ative Dairy Association, of which he u'as vice-president am- a number of years, and largely helped develop it to .its present extensive production. One. sister, Mrs. Wm. Hogga•9•th, Kip - pen, predeceased him, also his bro- thers, •Montgomery and James, of Sea - forth, and David, who was killed in the fighting in France iii 1916. Sur- vivingto mourn the loss of a kind and provident brother are his sisters, Anne and Margaret, also Elizabeth, of Ottawa, and Mrs. Wm. Doig, Jr., Kip - pen, Two nephews, Mr. Archie Hog- garth and Mr, Hugh Doig, 'Kippen, and two nieces, Mrs. Wesley Greene and Mrs. J. F., Ingram, Hensall, also survive. Interment was made in Staffa cemetery, and the large gather- ing that came to pay' their respects testified to the esteem in which he was held, There were numerous flor- al offerings from close personal friends and a large and lovely wreath from his fellow officers in the Co-op- erative Association. Rev. Mr, McWil- liam, of Cromarty, conducted the ser- vices, and a male quartette sang two selections, "Sometime, Somewhere" and "The Sands of Time Are Sink- ing." The pallbearers were Messrs. Harvey Leslie, John. Sadler; Roy Mc- Donald, Montgomery Davis, Roy Kers- lake and Frank Miller. .Hugh Doig, Arthur Smale, Ross Greene, LIoyd Miller and Nelson Pfaff carried the flowers. Mr. W. H. Golding, M.P., Who has known him since boyhood days, pays the following tribute: "I extend • sincere sympathy ••4n the. ser- ious Ions sustained in your brother's passing. It seems regrettable that such a useful citizen should be taken so suddenly while still in active years, He will be much missed in the whole community, as well as in his, own home." ,ti,•ti�..i . lana: >.r 1. • News of Walton One -Cent Sale this week at Keat- ing's Pharmacy, the Rexall Drug Store, Seaforth.
