mite and a quarter south of ring- wood doesnt believe in hiding his light under a bushel for when he got hold of some matches in the home last friday shortly after dinner hour he went forth and set fire to the large straw stack situated within a few feet of the large barn and for a time the big structure was in danger of being consumed by the rtames when the blaze was notice i by the elder people the telephone was used to summon the neighbors who re sponded promptly also the fire truck at unionville which arrived on the scene within 20 minutes and as the water supply was then exhaustedthe chemical appaitus saved the situa tion and soon smothered the blaze fortunately the wind carried the blaze away from the building other wise the whole place would have been enflamed before any assistance could have teached it as it was even a portion of the straw stack was saved and little boy reesor has learned a lesson in matoh- ology that will remain with him until gabriel blows his great trumpet fire in collnrtls busli on may 24th some people tried lighting a fire in mrj geo collards bush at gormley with equally disas trous iresults probably five or more acres of bush land was run over by the fire which was stopped by the splendid effort put forth by mr col- lard and some men and women motorists who happened along at the right time fortunately no big timber was damaged but hundreds of young sailings were burned off as a result the exact origin of this bush fire is not known but it is surmised that hdliday seekers from the city motor ed into the woods and attempted to boil water in a kettle or cook food without putting out the fire when finished this is one of the pests that beset the owners of timber limits in the northern country and the wonder is that people can be found so ignorant after all that has been said and written about starting fires in the bush mr and mrs manley bruce spent sunday in town miss ada robinson spent the week end with
