Aftermath of 1Vlitchell Opera House Fire (Mitchell- Adyocate) • At the late opera house fire several: firemen carried out a large glass shovif case from the Webb bakery and plac- ed it in front of the. Prueter, store across the street. 'In the ,case w"as'a nice large fruit 'cake. A little white Pater a man ''standing' in a nearby doorway saw a lady approach this pieees of'" store equipment, open the sliding door, snatch the cake, stuff it ns' e' her ,great coat, and then van- ish into the night. If her intentions and meaningwere good, then all right, but it it was a, case of delib- erate pilfering, then she should' be ashamed of herself. Mr. Webb lost plenty 'by fire without having to suf- fer from .light 'fingering.' Late in the morning the same day as the fire, a member of the fire bri- gade searching "among the ruins of the a Cosy Grill came acrosie about three parts of the carcass of a fine dressed roast turkey in the refrig- era'tor. During the same afternoon some of the firefighters enjoyed a number of grand turkey sandwiohes. "Shorty" probably should have told "Chris," but knotting Mr. Oheorou to 'be a good sport despite 'his great loss, they felt sure the 'Grill owner would' only .say "go to it." Anyway the fire- men would like Chris 40 send in his. bill _, While ' a .couple of members of the Stratford fire brigade were ling a line of fire those with the Wirer pm- -Mire still on; a -Mitehell "department ' m'an .was standing' close by ,.._The lat- ter was struck by, 'tie -hose and thrown on his flack: Atter looking for and finding his smoke -pipe, he lit It,. had a smoke and, then raised -r "caro about the episode. However, the tumble , must have die u et ,1sn, for he wag confined to his home for several days afterwards. Johnny is a good man just the 'game. • Some cats surely must be Possess- ed of nine lives. How many living creatures could, pass through that terrible opera block fire last week, through 1lames,.amoke and water and escape alive seems 'almost im'pos'sible to believe. Yet it is a fact that an animal did. It is an orange•colored cat owned 'by James Anderson, bak- er in the Webb Bakery, one of the places destroyed by the fire: The cat was in the bakery before the great blaze 'started,' and Jimmy gave • up hope of ever seeing ,it again. How- eSer,, two days later, while cleaning up the ruins in the Webb establlish- nnent; 1Vlf•.`A`idatiion thought he would Net whistle for his 'four -legged pal as he had done hundreds of times be- fore„,...

The two pads stroll about again arm -in - arm, as ,4t....were. Such an ordeal and such an escape must surely have be n a miracle. .The feline is now at the fire hall where Fireman An es - eon sleeps.

W. Spinney in his annual address 'es- president of the Bank of Montreal. Mr. Spinney' is we'Il known in ' Canada after his valuable service' as chairman of the _National Finance Committee which or- ganizes 'the war loans 'There are now ten :flanks, he says, actively com- peting for the business of merchants, induistrialists and others. - "Anyone who is dissatisfied with bis treatment by one bank can go to another. The competition between t6banks is real' and intensive, he ;-and if a proposition from any ind vidvai were refused by several banks; --that would probably be good''evidence that the proposition was one th�o'ut no hank could properly approve. ` Mr. Spinney saw no. like liiniod that the individual in his , no with a government-owned bank ;-WORM ✓have more privacy or ,better , sbhal at- tention to his particul ,�ttoblems than -he ,has • now. .n .aq;t♦ttionaliza- tion was not required to• fTh a the n'a- tion's supply of *moneet under got ernment regulation, *cause the govern ment-owned cents ii ;bank regu- lated the money supply,; Speaking of a bankip6 monopoly under .government contr,bl, he said that once the borrowing requirements of a customer Were' de,Jed, for any reason, he would have no recourse ex- cept through the channels of special pleading or political infhienee. "One orf the most prominent pro- ponents of natidnalized,ban'king," he said, "recently stated, as one of the points in, its favor, that control of fin- ance is a most 'essential step -to con- trol of the whole economy. With:the truth of this statement as applied to nationalization of 'the banks, I would most definitely agree. Set up a gov- ernment monopoly of banking in Canada and the socialization of the rest of the 'economywould scarcely be more than a ' 'mopping up opera, tion.'
