Another interesting feature of the eve- ning is ice cream and apple pie and a program including the play “Not such a goose” by Mt. Pisgah Y.P. which will be enjoyed in the church after the game. With the intense heat of this past week the wells, cisterns and creeks in dur vicinity are gradually failing in their duty and we are beginning to realize what our neighbors in the provinces to the west of us have had to face many times.

Brumwell showed us the ins and outs of canning chicken and beef. Mrs. R. L. Stiver was present 7 and spoke a few words on the value of In- stitute membership.

VICTORIA SQUARE Wednesday evening a fire which spread from some stumps burning on the farm of Mr. Ellis Klinck got out of control and threatened Mr. O. Heise's bush. Neighbors soon gath- ered and checked the blaze before very serious damage was done. The fire had to be watched the greater part of the night but falling rain brought relief. Owing to the confusion caused by the fire the program of stgnts to be put on by the Y.P.S. on the church lawn was postponed until next week. Games and lunch were enjoyed by the many who had assembled. Yonge at Castlefield M0. 2172 IN News News News "In Essentials. Umt'v: RICHMdfiD’fiL’L, ONTARIO THURSDAY, AUG. 3rd, 1933 one Richmond Hill Fire Brigade has been busy during the week- fighting grass fires, some of which gained great headway and threatened large areas. The exceptionally dry weath- er of recent weeks has created a con- dition which constitutes a consider- able fire hazard everywhere and all citizens are urged to take the utmost care with fires. Several Grass Fires Keep Brigade Busy Last Saturday fire which started on the Yonge Street highway from an unknown cause swept across the farm of W. H. Legge, Jefferson, and reach- ed as far east as the bush before it was finally under control as a result of the efforts of the Richmond Hill Brigade. Tuesday afternoon fire broke out on the property surrounding the Dun- lap Observatory on South Yonge St. A large acreage of hay which had not been cut this year was easy prey to the flames fanned by a strong west wind and the fire swept across the fields as far east as the second con- cession. There it was with some difficulty that the local firemen held it in control and away from crops and several properties which it threat- ened. The members of the local bri- gade labored for several hours under trying conditions due to the heat and smoke. The fire started near 'the railroad tracks and one theory ad- vanced is that it might have started from a spark from a passing train. About eleven o’clock that night the brigade was called again to the Observatory property as a large tree had caught fire and it was feared it would spread to the neighboring hay fields. Wednesday afternoon a grass fire in the south west corner of the town was the cause of another call for the brigade. The fire was put out be- fore it had gained much headway. These fires should be a warning to all citizens to exercise extreme cau- tion With matches, cigarette butts and bonfires during this very dry season.
