Pioneer's Honesty Remembered
The death of John H. Hislop on

James Melon, settled and raised a
tiemily •of, six sons and four daugh-
ters. Those who knew John Hislop
will recall the integrity e.1 the man
-truly his worn was as good, as his
hood, A story bold of his father
throws light on the atmosphere in
which he was roared and was char-
acteristic of the .surly Scottish
Pioneers. Upon 'Coming to Canada

Mr. Hisiop's eyes fell on some
shovels on display nearby. He re-
marked thaat there was another thing
which they were needing; whereupon
his companion told hint to pick one
up and slip it under the boxes on the
wagon. So indignant was young
James over the suggestion that he
might be guilty of such an act that
he refused to ride home, with the

Fire that burst out with sudden
explosive fury completely gutted the
George Radford stonecrushln•g plant
here Thursday an'd left loss of
$40,000 in its wake while an
employee, Benarty Walsh, managed to
escape unharmed.
Firemen 'Gouglot the blaze for
four hours before finally bringing
the flames uncle control alter only
four bare walls of the building
were left standing.
The village's new fire -fighting
equipment, purchased only a few
months ago, was in the building
and firemen Geeing danger of ex-
plosions as the flames leaped
around vehicle gasoline tanks, man-
aged to 'salvage the fire -fighting
pumper truck in time to use 11
to fight the flames.
Fanned by a high wind, the fire
gained headway so quickly alter
the explosive start, that firemen
could do no more than prevent the
spread of the fire to other build-
ings 40 or 50 feet away.
Mr. Wais•h was working on a
welding job inside the section of
the building used as a garage for
vehicles. A truck outside was, tak-
ing on gasoline and it was believed
that gasoline fumes escaped into
the garage and then burst into
flames The outbreak of fire was
almost an explosion but the welder
escaped unharmed.
Wind of almost gale -like velocity
blew through the 'building and im-
mediately tanned the dames out of
control. Within a few seconds the
interior o the building wan a
seeting furnace and firemen who'.
removed the flre department's
pumper engine from the building
had to work 'their way through
s wall of flame.
The ,fire stetted shortly after
11:00 a.m. and it was 1101 until after
3:00 p.m. that it was extinguished
At one time a gasoline station on
the other side of the road was in
danger as the flames roared up
through the roof of the building
and licked many feet into the air.

a letter from his gurrel, Bein' he

He tried evenything he had ever

without success.
At Iast he wrote to the Minis-

and ended his epistle with: "What
shall I do now,"
In due course came a reply:
"We suggest you learn to love
them."
