Two minor blazes were reported on Saturday, one a chimney fire at 52 Maple street south, the other at the residence of Jack Dailton, Sr., 9 Cedar south. In the latter case, damage was largely caused by smoke from smouldering honey boxes that had been placed on top of an electric stove to dry, There were no fires or Sunday. With such notable "callers" as Andy McGinn and Bill Gannon to call off the squares, there was no doubt that it was the best dance held in South Porcupine for a considerable time. The young people of our town need organized entertainment, and the Loyal Order of Moose believes that in sponsoring properly conducted concerts, dances, etc., it is helping the communâ€" ity and doing a service to the youth of this district.
