LOSS SUFFERED
EXCEEDS $100,000
Seaforth suffered its most destruc-
tive fire in many years ont Saturday
afternoon, when the three-storey
furniture plant of John Boshart AL'
Sons, Main Street, was badly gutted,
took one life and. caused damage con-
servatively estimated at .$50,000 to
stock and a further damage of $50,-
000 to the building and equipment.
Aubrey R. Avery, 57, of Mitchell, a
bricklayer working on 'an `addition to
the plant, died in Scott Memorial
Hospital Saturday night, after he had
been overcome by smoke and suffer-
ed burns about the -face- and.. hands.
from the raging flames on tiie top
floor of the three-storey- building.
Within a few minutes after the fire
started in the finishing department
room on the third floor of the plant
about 2.30 o'clock Saturday afternoon
the entire floor was a mass of flames.
An electric spark is believed to have
jumped to highly inflammable finish-,
ing materials. /The flames spread
with almost explosive ferocity, and
less than 10 minutes after the initial
outbreak the fire had eaten its way
through the floor and was spreading
throughout the lower storey.
The large new three-storey exten-
sion to the factory was saved intact
as the floors were of fireproof con-
struction, and there was a heavy
brick fire wall between the buildings'
which largely confined the flames to i

The proposed scheme is an attempt
on the part of hog producers in On:

association for the marketing of hogs

necessary action from that Act.
All persons or companies buying,
trucking or processing hogs would be
licensed Under the Act, with the very
nominal license fee of $1.00 a year.
All producers of hogs would he re-

cents per hog for each hog delivered

There is no question of doubt
but that an open season for deer
was a popular move in Huron, so
far as the nimrods were concern-
ed, at least. Upwards of ` 1,1300
deer licenses were sold, but not
1,000 were bagged during the
week. Many hgpteres" however,
I were successful in getting their
quota the first day. And, if; re,

others got more than their quota
on the two days preceding the
