The Wingham Advance-Times, 1965-07-08, Page 8• Page 8-Wingham Advance -Times, Thursday, July 8, 1965 Tractor Burns on /Morris Twp. Road A farm tractor was severely damaged by fire on Tuesday evening on the second conces- sion of Morris Township. The Wingham rural fire brigade answered the call. Alan McBurney, who lives on the 10th of East Wawanosh was hauling a wagon load of baled hay from the farm of his brother-in-law who lives in Morris, west on tate township road when he found the tractor engine was not operating pro- perly. He stopped, turned off the motor and decided to clean the sediment bowl. In so doing a small amount of gasoline fell on the starter and burst into flame. Before being extinguish- ed, the tractor was just about ruined. The machine was own- ed by Adam McBurney of East Wawanosh,, the driver's father. A sidelight to the episode occurred when dozens of cars followed the fire truck from Wingham to the scene of the fire. One Wingham driver will face charges as a result of fol- lowing the water tanker too closely. The charge will be laid by Provincial Police. Police pointed out that un- der the Highway Traffic Act it is illegal to follow an emer- gency vehicle closer than 500 feet. In this case a car had fol- lowed the fire tanker to the fire at only a matter of a few yards distance.

A letter from the local Kins- men Club stated that the con- dition of the wading pool area, which had been donated to the town a number of years ago by the club, was in deplorable condition. The letter requested the town to have grass and weeds cut around the pool and to clean up a quantity of bro- ken glass around the verges of the pool. The Department of Munici- pal Affairs sent approval for a draft plan of a section in the Tom Henderson sub -division. This approval clears the way for lot sales in the area.
