The fire apparently had its origin in a defective chimney upâ€" stairs and spread downwards through the house despite efforts to check it. W. R. Peters, who lives on the farm on the oppasite side of the road, noâ€" ticed flames coming from a chimney, hnd when a telephone call to the other house brought no response, Mr. Peters concluded Mr. and Mrs. Frank Holorâ€" avich, who live on the place and the three hired men, were engaged in the barn. They were unaware of the blaze until Mr. Peters arrived and took out the infant, child of the Holoravich family. Much of the downstairs conâ€" tents were saved but there was conâ€" siderable loss in the upper part of the house. A temporary house has been provided by Mr. Pipe. _ Adjourn Byâ€"law Charges Fiwe persons, charged with failure to provide their dogs with municipal license tags, were adjourned until callâ€" ed on, with the understanding that the licenses are procured at once.

Reports from Cochrane say that there are reports of a new rich ligâ€" nite seam discovered recently in the field at Onokawana. The new find is sald to be located on the other side A the raliway from the previous wOrkâ€" ngs, and to be i1 superi0or to any ZEL UunRsovereL. What have we to fear? Nought but fear, As Winston Churchill has cast "surrender" out of our language, so must we cast out doubt and faintâ€" heartedness, defeatism and despair. We of the civil populace must esâ€" chew faintâ€"heartedness; we must not, as some did on Monday, permit what seems, at first glance, to be bad news to colour our every thought. When there is a dark dayâ€"Monday actually wasn‘tâ€"â€"we must adopt the soldier‘s philosophy. [The road is not always paved with victory; there are bad days as well as good. Defeat walks with victory, death with life, in every battle. Rich New Seam of Lignite Reported at Onakawana Shrink, as though it were the plague, from faintâ€"heartedness, from the pesâ€" simsim that makes a desperate blow an irretrievable defeat,. Remember that though lesser men might have capitulated at Dunkirk or the fall of France, the British did not. Others might have refused 10 to 1 odds in the beginning of the Battle of Britain, but not the Royal Air Force. Another breed might have run away when outâ€" sped, outâ€"gunned, and outâ€"armored, but not Exeter or Ajax or Fogerty Fegen‘s Jervis Bay. We should fear fear; nothing else. We need not fear Hitler‘s hordes for our people have proved themselves the superiors of the nazis in personal and collective bravery ,in skill in the use of the tools of war. (From Kamloops Sentinel) "What have we to fear?" That was the question directed at a Kamloops Canadian Club audience on Tuesday night by Mrs. Nancy Pyper of Toronâ€" to. Her answer, if one attempted the briefest condensation of a splendid speech would be "Fear." Only Thing There is to Fear Toâ€"day is Fear, Defeatism Until the new method of addressing becomes generally known, mail bearmg the designation "C.
