Her long veil was held with a coronet of pearls.

Fine Osprey Home Burned Sunday The fine large brick home of Mr. Roy Fenwick, one and a quarter miles south of Maxwell on the ^th line, was destroyed by fire early Sunday afternoiJn. The cause of the fire is believed" to have been sparks from a chimney igniting a pile of dry shingles in a woodshed at the rear of the house. The residence was of red brick construction and was one of the finest homes in Os- prey Tow^^ship. The fire was first noticed by Mr. Fenwick and at the same time by Mrs. Percy Winters, who was pass- ing in a car. Mr. Fenwick, along with some friends from Peterboro attempted to put the fire out, but were not successful. A call was sent in to the Flesherton, Dundalk and Collingwood fire brigades and the Flesherton brigade was the first at the scene, but the woodshed was entirely gone when they arrived. In the meantime the fire made head- way in the gable end of the roof and had a firm footing in the spa.^e under the roof, that made successful fighting impossible, as the smoke in the attic was too dense for the men to enter. Neighbors soon gathered and the furniture, both upstairs and downstairs was saved, although a refrigerator was lost, being too heavy to move quickly. Fireman Fred Gorrell of Flesher- ton was overcjome by smoke and was taken to the Markdale Hospital where he remained until Monday afternoon, although was unable lo work On Tuesday. The walls of the house were left standing, most of them appearing to be too seriously damaged. In fact the linoleum on the diningroom floor appeared to be undamaged, as the heat of the fire was kept at a low temperature by the amount of water and chemical played on the burning building. The house replaced one destroyed by fire 21 years ago. Mr. Fen\vick carried insurance on the building, but it would not be enough to cover his loss, as it is estimated that the building could not be replaced under SI 2,000.00. .•Vs the truck bringing the Dun- dalk fire equipment arrived at the comer, for some reason the truck hit the ditch and overturned, one of the chemical tanks being dani- ;iged in the spill, and only one tank was fit for use in fighting the fire.

(By George Matthew .A.dams> I shall never cease to be grateful over the fact that I was both born, and lived the early part of my life in a small town. You knew almost everybody, the druggist, the harness maker, to the high school princiipal rird the towni's clergymen. There was a friendliness that was spread all over the town. There was community interest. Co-opera- tion and a democracy of spirit were ilways alive. People travelled and came back with ideas that were dis- tributed. Sunday was a day of wor- ship and the many churches were lillod with people eager to gain spiritual sustenance. The small toftVTi, with its weekly :>ew<:paper. is the bacfcbone if every â- nintiy. and- a goodly portion of a . ountry's great men and women were reared in the small town. Most came '"rom huntble origin. And 1 have ;icver met a man or woman who didn't take pride in the fact. People take time to think in the â- ip.iall town. They keep informed '!ind from many a one have come '.r- most outstanding premiers and \ sjislators, as well as those who have contributed to the life of the ;;ation and to the world. Our srreat educational institutions are filled with studeiits who have cnie troni the small town.* â€" and 'f you have listened to the broadcasters of baseball ganies you have learned that a m;ijority of our great ball i>layers come from the small town! In travelling across the country in a car you will pass through many a -â- mall town and you will learn from esch. They are a happy, useful ~)eopIc who live in them. We, who have been horn and lived in these small towns, carry many happy 'uemories with us all through life, and these memories grow richiT with the years. The church, the school and the library are outstand- ii>g institution."! in tlie small towi. They are its intellectual and spirit- No one who ha,« ever only ! livod in a siiinll toiwn can forget its I endless benefits. â€" The Telegram. -A. quiet but pretty wedding was solemnized at the United Church parsonage at 2:30 o'clock on.
