'1tOSPEEING AN CF#L bi'ORN'ttt We have before us a six page sec- tion of the Morning Press' of Santa Barbara, California, called the. St. Vincent E. good's Speeial Opening Section. Mr. Wood is a nephew of tete Wood family in Exeter, being a son, of 112r. William Wood, formerly Of London. He is a son-in-law of Mr. John Dinsdale of Heneail, Mrs. Wood being Miss iia Dinsdals. The paper contains a glowing account of the opening of Mr, Wood's new building, the Buick headquarters at Santa Bar - bare, from which we reprint only a few of the paragraphs; "Vincent E. Wood is to -day, formally opening the building which has been given his name, the "Vincent E. Wood Build- ing." The opening of "The Finest A.utomobile Building in the West," 1 as it was characterized by a man whose travels cover all the territory west of the Rocky Mountains, marks an epoch in the business history of its owner. The years have been few since Vince Wood opened his agency for Buick, automobiles in Santa Bar- Bara, but they have witnessed some wonderful development of his chosen business. This is his third change of location in a half dozen years and each new building has been much larger than its. predesessor. • Mr, Wood is a man of super abundant energy. He put his hand to a task which called for the expenditure of an enormous amount of human effort and suns which ran into staggering totals. The, completed structure is a monument to the achievement of a roan who has the improvement of his city as much at heart as his own personal affairs_ The building has 100 feet frontage. It is one of the finest specimens of Spanish Colonial architecture,' with hollow 'tile walls, a floor of terazze tile for the general salesroom and a roof of Angule Misr' Sion tile." SEXSMITH 1VIr.

THAMES ROAD' The W.IVI.S. of Thames Road Pres Church' met last week at the home of 'Mrs. Robt. Kydd. The meeting was. fairly well attended and a pleasant time was spent. A; -paper was read by Mrs. T. Cameron' en Church Un- ion, and a . talk followed bearing on the relation of a • united church nto missionary work. Mrs. Kydd then sang very sweetr'y a:hynnn composed by Miss Isabelle Crraham, of Egmond- ville, which we all',_enjoyed very much. We missed, at the meeting, two of our most faithful and earnest workers, who have moved from our community and society. We refer to Mrs. W. A. Tuinbull and daughter, Miss Isabelle. Miss' Turnbull was our efficient secretary and also Mis- sion, Band President, and Mrs. Turn- bull was always ready to do her share in furthering the interests of the Society. Their removal to Exeter Will be a decided gain to Exeter. but it is hard to console ourselves with the thought that "Our losswill be their' gaiiii" Miss Goi.lings, of Far- quhar, is secretary in Miss Turnbull's place and is proving herself a worthy.' successor. Our next meeting will he held at the east side of the congre- gation, the meeting place to he an- nounced later, and the society hope that as,innany of: the ladies of the congregation as possible will try and attend. Much sympathy. is felt in this c om'- munity for Mr. and Mrs, P George '+ g ei guson in the loss by fire of their conufortable hone on the second con- cession. While Mr. and Mrs. Fer- g'uson were atttendin church g at Thames Road, the message' carne to them that their house was on fire and when they reached home the roof had fallen in, We hope i • t will 1. not be long until they have a nne w enc. erected in the place of, the one they have lost and that they: will be 'spared many years to enjjo;iY lit. 1Viessra.

Running up the street he met Constable James Priestly who immediately 'sounded the alarm. Soon the town was in an uproar and there was a general rush' for the scene of the fire. The old- fashioned hand pump was brought into service but it was soon found that it was not able to cope with the blaze and it was then that•a call was sent out for assistance, The Lon- don fire truck made the' distance of about 25 utiles in around 35 minutes and after draining the tanks in the vicinity, was attached to the huge C. N. R. water tank ,at tete station. In•the meantime whdt could be sal- vaged was taken from the stores and the homes. Streets and lawns were piled tip with furnishings and equip- ment of an kinds. Fortunately the hydro power was shut off at Lucan or 'the danger from hanging wires would have been great. A strong -wind. was blowing at the time. The flames were carried half way across the street and large bur- ning embers were carried for some distance. Fires broke out in numer- ous places. Flying clinkers set fire to the roof of the Anglican rectory, which was saved after a heroic fight but not before the roof had.; been ruined. - The -fire was "fust discovered in an old building at the rear of McLeod's hardware store.- The next to 'go was the store of White & May's, their loss being the 'heaviest. , The others fol- lowed in rapid succession: • At night the village was in dark, ness save for the smouldering embers and coal oil., lamps.
