(From Royal Ontario Museum News) The soâ€"called Jack Rabbit of souâ€" thern Ontario is really a German hare. I! was brought here from Germany in 1012, by a German, and released near Brantford. There is no evidence that he gave it the name Jack Rabbit"to conceal its identity, but that name has prevented most people from ‘recognizâ€" Ing it as a German hare. However, the same hare occurs in England ~and throughout central Europe; its real North Bay Nugget:â€" "Oh, boy," a Kansas farmer, now in ‘the service, writes home in his ‘first letter to the folks, "It sure is swell to be out from under all that regimentation.

On Monday a hot plate at 119 Birch south set fire to ‘the wallpaper, but the damage was Sslight. Timmins Firemen properly observed Fire Prevention Week ‘by preventing a number of small fires from developing into real ones. This is done by prompt response to all calls and effective acâ€" tion on the scene ‘of the fire. In the past week ‘there were seven calls. ‘One was for hot pipes, another was a chimney blaze, with no damage permitted in either case. Saturday there was a fire in a garbâ€" age box at the back of Eaton‘s store. It was put out by the firemen with no loss. A man apparently smoking in bed resulted in a fire call on Wednesday with damage of about $60. , Sense and Nonsense: There is nothâ€" ing quite as expensive as trying to keep up appearances.
