There was some. excitement on Fri- day evening about six o’clock when a ï¬re. alarm was turned in from the west end of .the town.

There seem to be some, however, who through carelessness, indifference or worse are neglecting this duty, and to such it is well to point. out that the ï¬lling out and returning: ot' the cards is obliga- tory. While no penalty has been an- nounct'd for neglect to do this Simple duty. the ilovernment; has the author- ity under the War Measures Act to establish a penalty even after it. is too late to send in further cards. Ae- cordingly all who have. neglected to return their “National Service" cards would do well to attend to the matter at once. .\nether boom is evident just at present in the number of foreigners applying for passports to leave the country, fully twenty applying in the last week or two.
