Although it is very early for serious bush fires in the North there have| been some losses through forest blazes during the past week. There have betn fires in the North . Bay, Hailey‘oury.} Rouyn, Sault Ste. Marie and other sections, The forest fire that has been given the most publicity has been the: one in Haliburton county where the| two villages were threatened. At one time nearly 1,0C0 men were engaged in fighting this forest fire which spread | over a widso area and caused some loss. | Fortunately the blaze was gotten un-i der control this week angq no further danger is expected in Haliburton county f0r the present. One of the features in connection with the Haliâ€" burton fire was the fact that a number of daily newspapers persisted in referâ€" ring to it as a Northern Ontario bush fire. While it is north of a great many Ontario places, is not conâ€" sidered as in what is known as Northâ€" ern Ontario, the latter designation beâ€" ing reserved for the area north of North Bay and Sudbury.

It is difficult to gauge the seriousness of the Sault Ste.

This woulg serve a porâ€" ticn of the town where the traffic is possibly as heavy as in the busiest areas of the business sections. The proposed new paving would be a benefit to St. Mary‘s hospital, which should be a chief consideration. It would also be of advantage to the hundreds attendâ€" ing St. Anthony‘s church the Church of the Nativity and also St. Matthew‘s Anglican church, as well as of direct value to the pulslic in general.
