uxbridge fire chief explains fire chief byron willis of the uxbridge fire brigade has issued an explanation to the surrounding district explaining why it is not possible for the uxbridge fire equipment to respond to outside calls for help chief willis explains that the equipment has no pumper or water carrying facilities and cannot draw from wells and creeks and that the town has no auxiliary equipment to leave at home in case it was needed when the other engine would be away from home this was the reason why stouff ville brigade answered a call for help from sandford recently and some wondered why uxbridge did not respond chief willis says that if the outside locality want a fire service he and his town will be glad to discuss the matter with surrounding municipalities the

seeing it your greatest thrill is owning it seldom seen its a pity that some poet hasnt seen fit to commemorate the matter of pickles in a fitting way cer tainly the whole procedure of picking the cucumbers and assemb ling the spices and the tangy vine gar and the mysterious ritual afterwards has in itself a great deal of inspiration for anyone with an inclination towards that sort of thing pickling time is a time all its own on the farm anxiously the womenfolks hover over the cucumber patch carrying pails of water from a barrel left standing in the sun all day to make certain the heat of the day hasnt wilted the vines this is a job for early evening between the supper and the washing of the dishes and immediately after the picking of the cucumbers women seem to hover over the
