BRAVE MEN FEAR NOT THE CREATING OF PRECEDENT, Any suggestion that the Ontario Government assist stricken â€" Haileyâ€" bury in the matter of its bonded inâ€" debtedness is sure to ‘be met with the reply that such action would create a preécedent. (Brave men do not fear the ereating of precedents. â€"Take the case of Gervais Sutherland, one of the outstanding heroes of the Haileybury fire. Big framed, big hearted, he was one of the Haileybury firemen, and fought the fire as long as it seemed possible to do anything to save the tbwn. He was about to get into A erowded car to be taken to safety when he noticed a lady nearby in danâ€" ger. He promptly gave her his place in the car. He created a precedent. Later on be was taken in another car and was on the way to safety again, when his thoughtful eyes noticed two little children, helpless nd forsaken on the roadside. He followed the preceâ€" dent he had made himself. He stopâ€" ped the car and gave the children his place. _ In the face of great need, bravery and unselfishness, not preceâ€" Canada â€" â€"â€" United States PQlished every Wednesday by %~ Geo. Lake, Publisher bravery anid UNSCLLSIIC dent, must be the test The name of Gervais S live, because he was a hero.. CULTIVATED FIELDS WOULD REMOVE THE FIRE MENACE hR Mr. Alex Miller recently suggested a plan well worth consideration the protection of the North Land towns from the bush fire menace. His idea is to have an area under cultivaâ€" tion around each and every town. This matter could be adjusted without any serious cost or inconveniente and it would â€" assuredly provide additional safety to the towns of the North.: In the Haileybury district and other parts of the fireswept area Mr. Milâ€" ler noticed many houses and other buildings that were practically unâ€" harmed by the fire simply because of the protection â€" afforded from the spread of the fire by epitivated fields. Settlers who had their buildings in the eentre of a cleared area under culâ€" tivation in many cases escaped damâ€" age altogether. With an area under eultivation around each town it is cerâ€" tain that much additional security m ie sns mss e on from fire would be secured. Such a plan, of course, includes the removal of unnecessary plots of bush and unâ€" derbrush, such as lie now to the south and southwest of this town. It may possibly be true that these strips do not eonstitute an active menace, but it would â€"be difficualt to convince any North Land man to that effect. At any rate everybody would rest much easier if in place of such inflammable spots ‘there were fields under cultivation to act as a break for anx fires that may come along from the south.

When the danger swept down upon the town, Miss Piche devoted her efforts to getâ€" ting the (hx.ldren out of the Shelter, and saw that they were taken to a place of comparative safety. Afterâ€" wards, they having arrived without Wardfi, Y LL} _ ; CE k K 4 Mb i t Cl i e ie ic o serious mishap close to the mouth of Mill Creek, this young lady saw that her charges were given something to eat and she lool\ed after their welfare until reseue came.‘ e KAPUSKASING BYâ€"LAW ASKS FIREâ€"PROOF CONSTRUCTION Aceording to a byâ€"law ed by the Kapuskasing Kapuskasing is making Kapuskasing is making an earnest °Lâ€" fort to avoid the fire menace so far as possidle. In brief the _i).\"-la\\' forbids the construction of buildings that are not of either solid construetion (Class I), or veneer construction (Class I1I)}. The byâ€"law says:â€"*‘Class Iâ€"Mean buildings of fireâ€"proof of skeleton con struction or buildings ~of ordinary construction of which the exterior and party walls are of brick, concrete, stone or equally incombustible materâ€" al.. Class IJâ€"Mean veneered buildâ€" ings having exterior walls up to first floor of solid construetion and veneerâ€" ed above this level â€"to roof; and also buildings as last described except that one upper storey above level, or gable ends of roof, may be of frame construction and shingle or otherâ€" approved finish."‘ In other words it would appear that Kapuskasâ€" ing is going to insist upon at least the first storey being of solid brick, stone, cement on other approved solid. consâ€" truction; the second storey may be veneer, and the third may in some eases be of frame construction. ‘ THE NORTH SALUTES MISS HOGG, ANOTHER HEROINE Another of the heroines of the fire was ‘Miss Margaret Hogg, a young lady teaching school near Hanbury. When flames and smoke descended up on the school and threatened the lives of the thirty little pupils, Miss Hogg showed fine courage and resourcefulâ€" ness. Had anything like panie been allowed, thes youngsters would have separated and assuredly someâ€"of them 3 % 4 Actar? CCA N perhaps all of them, would have lost their lives. This teacher, ho wever, kept her pupils all by her, calming them and holding their attention by stories. Eventually the flames drove them from the school, but Miss Hogg shepherded her little flock into a raâ€" vine nearby. Here she kept them safely until the danger had passed. One chil had his hand slightly burnâ€" ed but the others suffered nothing more than the smoke and alarm, and the courage and. coolness of their teacher reduced the inconvenience, as well as the danger, to the minimum. COBALT PETITION AGAINST ALLEGED PROFITEERING Last week there were rumors at COâ€" balt that advantage was being taken of the difficulties created by the big fire and that some landlords and others were profiteering at the exâ€" pense of the fire sufferers and others. Thse rumors prompted a formal petiâ€" tion to the Cobalt Counceil, the preâ€" amble of this petition reading as folâ€" lows :â€" ET view of the known and alleged resort to profiteering upon the part of certain landtfords and merchants of€ the town immediately following the great fire tragedy of last week, a pracâ€" tise which is being found even within the members of your own C ouncil Board.

One of his tenants, who is said to have made the matter public, is months beâ€" hind in his rents, according to the statement in the Northern News and in this ease the rent was simply raisâ€" ted to get the delinquent out of the !place. L a w * Cobalt has shown generally such a creditable attitude to the fire sufferâ€" ers that it is to be hoped that all the charges of profiteering are disproved or explained, so that the name of the town for humanity and kindness may not be marred by petty greed of any were rumors at Coâ€" ze was being taken created by the big me â€"landlords, and teering at the exâ€" :ufferers and others. ntly pass to your peâ€" you lose no mer commitâ€" SOCIAL MUSICAL EVENING BY SCHUMACHER CHOIR The Schumacher Chureh Choir has a wellâ€"deserved reputation for excelâ€" lence as a musical organization of merit, and the pe!fple of Schumacher are well known for the ability and success with which they conduct saci@l and musical events. â€" Accordingly, it is not too much to say that the Social and Musical Evening to.be given on Friday evening of this w eek, Oc t, 20th by the Schumacher Church Choir will be an evening well worth while and one that musie lovers should not miss.

TORONTO BOARD OF TRADE FORESAW FIRE DANGER The fire which destroyed Haileybury | and the districts between New Lisâ€" keard and Englehart was foreseen by officials of the Board of Trade who completed the:r tour of Northern Ontario recently.

N.0O. agent at New Liskeard, in an atâ€" tempt to secure accurate mformatxon as to the extent then of the fires which he had noticed in isolated spots along the road on their trip through the North. ‘Mr. Tolchard also asked Mr. Goodman what in his opinion would be the best course to pursue and what sort of aid would be most needed shoulid an emergenecy oceur.
