Harry was working at a bench When sparks from the job he was working on flew several feet into a pan of gasoline and it burst into flames. Taking his foot to slide the pan out of doors the gasoline and oil spilled over his trousers and he immediately became a flam­ ing torch. Lying and rolling on the floor several spectators helped in removing the trousers and putting out the flames but not before Harry received serious burns to both legs and one arm, He was rushed to St. Joseph’s Hospital in London in the Hopper-Hockey ambulance and was treated there by Dr, V, A. Callahan. Harry is just getting his new ser­ vice station nicely into shape and has been awaiting the installation of the .new gas pumps. A report from the hospital Wednesday states that he is in a serious but not crit­ ical condition. Zurich Lady Dies In Victoria Hospital Mary Wilhelmina .
