SneRv 5000 BABY CHICKS LOST THROUGH FIRE Five thousand baby chicks met an untimely death, early Saturday morning when fire broke out at the Hogarth Baby Chick Hatchery. The clxicks ranged from one day old to three weeks, They were stored in the loft of a frame building at the repr of the hatchery, The building was heated by a stove and shortly after midnight smoke was seen coming from the building ’by Mr. Gragsick, an employee. Investiga­ tion showed that a fire was smould­ ering and the place was filled with dense smoke. The alarm was turn­ ed in and the fire brigade was soon on the spot. In the meantime sev­ eral fire extinguishers had been us­ ed to good effect, but it was only after the water was turned on that the fire was brought under control. A large hole had been burned in the roof and the lumber was badly char­ red. The fire was confined to^the upper storey , and about 1000 chicks on th© ground floor were removed from the building and saved. Among the chicks that died were some of a particularly choice strain that were considered quite valuable. It is thought that most of the chicks died through suffocation. Following the alarm a large crowd was goon on the scene. Mr. Hogarth’s hatchery has a capacity of about 94,000 eggs and it is with difficulty that he has met the demand for his popular chicks. This is the second loss he has had this season. He estimated' his loss at about $600.00' when the hydro wa£ off for some time a few weeks ago. Had the fire got a good start Saturday morning it is difficult to estimate the loss as there are sev­ eral frame buildings jn the vicinity and there -was a strong westerly wind blowing at the time.

WORTHY CITIZEN I»AS$ES Exeter lost a worthy citizen early Monday morning in the death of}Mr. Peter Frayne, ’ aged. 76 yeiirs, who passed away following a lengthy ill­ ness. For 45 years Mr,k Frayne con­ ducted a harness sliop/h Exeter 'and was one of our leading citizens. In October, 1921, he retired from busi­ ness as he ‘was not enjoying the' best of health at the timeA?>jyvp* years ago he suffered- a paralytic; stroke from which he never fully recovered although lie had been ’able1- to - be around and was confined .to his bed for only about five weeks? * ‘ a- The deceased was ~boTh. in' ITs^- borne Twp., on September'9th, 1852 being a son of the,.late Robert and Margaret Frayne. When. d young man he learned the trade.of harness­ making in London' and returned to Exeter where he started in,-business for himself. At that time ‘there werp five harness shops in the vil- lage <■ ^n^ildings on the Main Street. For eighteen years' Mr. , Frayne was a valued member of the Exeter School Board and twelve of those he was the honored chairman./ He had an enviable reputation for hon­ esty and integrity and commanded the respect of all w.ho knew him, Mr. Frayne was a stauil'ch pillar in what was then the James St. Methodist church. He was an ar­ dent worker and faithful in his duty. For thirty years he was the Record* ing Steward and for. seventeen years he was Superintendent of the Sun­ day School. It was indeed-" a rare occasion that )Mr, Frayne was ab­ sent from liis post of duty. On Thursday evening of each week no matter how busy they might be at the shop lie always closed up in or* der to attend the prayer service. During the active years of his life he had a record for punctuality that few can equal. Summer or winter he was always at liis' place of, busif ness at seven o’clock in the morn­ ing. For the first year and a half after starting business iif Exeter he lived with his parents on the third concession of Usborne and although he crossed the fields to his work he never failed to turn the key in the lock by seven a.m. This ' trait lie carried with'him in all his activities. During his years on the School Board he was only late oiicei , and that was . through a misunderstand­ ing.
