REPRESENTATIVE--JAMES H. ORMISTON FIRE DESTROYS FARMER'S HOME Blaze Early on Sunday Morning Causes Serious Loss to George Hill Fire, which is thought to have been caused by a defective chim- ney, totally destroyed the home of George Hill, a farmer, in the South-West section of the town early Sunday morning. The fire which had gained considerable headway before it was discovered by Mr. Hill forced one member of the family to leap through a win- low to escape, All the household furnishings with the exception of a table, a radio and several chairs were destroyed. The loss is almost wholly covered by insurance it was learned. Shortly after three o'clock Mr. Hill, was awakened by the smell of smoke, and as there was no fire in the stove in the house he went outside to investigate, He found the roof around the chimney blaz- ing and rushed inside to warn the AMBU ANCE SERVICE Phone 1082w DAY OR NIGHT OSHAWA BURIAL CO.

As far as can be ascertained, every member of the council is believed to be in accord with the provisions of the bylaws providing for the granting of the franchise. Mayor Elliott called a meeting last week at which the by- laws wre discussed by the counecil- lors, Chamber of Commerce and re: presentatives of the aeorporation headed by Eugene C. Lang, assist- ant to the vice president, Ben E. Tate, who negotiated the sale of the Oshawa gas plant and the awarding of the 50 year franchise in that city. Should the bylaw be passed this evening they will have to be ad- vertised for a period of three weeks and then a vote will be taken. This is not expected to take place before the first week in May and probably public meetings will be arranged in the interests of the ratepayers who will vote before that time, In the agreement the town is not asked to guarantee the corporation any num ber of customers and the compauy is obliged to fix all damage in the laying of their mains besides pay- ing the cost of a vote being taken. Mayor Elliott has stated that a clause has been inserted in the agreement providing that all work done in Bowmanville be lone by lo- cal labor except the supervision which will be under the comvany's own officials. WAR VETERANS AT CHURCH SERVICE Bowmanville Tad Oshawa Legion Members Attend- ed St. John's Church With more than a hundred war veterans in attendance a Memorial Jervice for those who fell at Vimy Ridge was held in St. John's An- glican Church last night. Contin- gents from Bowmanville and Osh- awa Branches of the Canadian Le- gion B.E.S.L. were in attendance, the locals headed by President R. M. Cotton and the Oshawa group by President M, McIntyre Hood. The veterans filled most of the south side of the church and the service was opened with the depos- iting of the Oshawa colors at the altar where they were received by the rector, Rev. C. R. Spencer, chaplain of the local branch and placed amid a bower of Easter flowers. The flag ceremony was fol- lowed by the observance of two min. Wes silence in memory of those who ell. The rector in a stirring sermon retold the graphic story of the great assault on Vimy Ridge by the Can- adians on April 9th, 1917. He took for his text the words "I will ft mine eyes to the hills from whence cometh my help." Although, he stated, Vimy Ridge reared 400 feet above the Canuadian forces and was a German stronghold the Canadiang with the ald of the Almighty scaled the heights and achieved a glorious victory. They did not alone look to that height of 400 feet where the enemy stronghold lay but they rafis- ed their eyes to the heavens from whence came help which inspir- ed them in one of the most heroic and spectacular victories of the war, Mr. Spencer, re-iterated his remarks of two weeks ago when he criticis- ed those who criticised the Cana- dian Legion. Many, he said were of the opinion that the legion existed for just what could be got out of it but this view was entirely erron- eous. Out of 17 clauses in the con- stitution of the Legion only one re- ferred to vensions and rewards for soldiers. Comradeship and service were the main objects and these were placed even before the just re- ward of those who fought for right | Hil | News of Interest (iathered from || Old Files of "Ontario i Reformer" (Week of Friday, April 7, 1911) The official board of Simcoe Street Methodist Church, at a special meet- ing held this week, decided to extend a call to Rev.
