Feigel, returning home on Monday with their daughter Betty who had been spending a couple of weeks of her holidays with the Feigel family. Usually forgetfulness causes one extra worry, work or trouble, but on Monday evening forgetfulness was a streak of good luck- for Mr. Fred Feigel, who had sharpened a pair of mower knives for Mr. Gor- don Reid, 5th line, and was supposed to leave them outside where Mr. Reid could get them in the evening. However Fred forgot to put them outside when closing. As a result later in the evening Gordon called him on the telephone; at once Fred came to the shop and on opening the blacksmith shop door was met with a cloud of smoke. 0n investigation they found a hole burnt through the floor which was just beginning to blaze. They were able to put it out, but another half hour and VictOria Square would have had another close call. No one knOWS exactly how it started, but are all glad it was notâ€" iced as soon as it was, and put out. Owing to the fact the J.W.I. are going away on Tuesday evening our regular meeting night, the executive have decided to have the regular program on the evening following (Wednesday). At first it was thought best to leave it over till next week, but on phoning Dr. J. Langstaff, he informed us that he would be away on his holidays and so on Wednesday evening, August 7th the J.W.I. will meet to follow the following program: Motto taken by Mrs. Rumney; roll call, name one condition which you regard as indi- Yonge at Castlefield be better and "In Essentials, Unity; In Nqni-essentials, Libgty; In All Thmgs.

RICHMOND HILI; ONTARIO. THURSDAY, AUGUST lst, 1940. Walker Hall and BOWLING NOTES ‘11 and A. E. Glass com- doubles tournament at Laturday afternoon, and ful in winning the prize -ht rinks competing At one of the largest directors’ meetings in the history of the York (Jeunty Jun.or Farmers held in the office of the Agricultural Repre- sentative at Newmarket on Monday night, it was decided unanimously to accept the very generous offer of Mr. George Davies of Musselman's Lake, to donate the Cedar Beach pavilion and orchestra for a mam- moth dance for the Junior Farmers‘ Ambulance Fund, on Monday, Au- gust 19th. I The Junior Farmers and Junior Farm Women of Ontario are rais- ing funds to purchase a standard, fully equipped, four-bed ambulance and instead of each club in York County putting on separate func- tions to raise funds, all groups are co-operating to put over one of their biggest undertakings but they say they can do it and we have no doubt they will. To give everybody a chance to share in the satisfaction of helping in this splendid project, the tickets are being sold at 35c. and each club has undertaken to sell their allot- ment. We feel that every farmer’s son in York County and many of their friends as well, will support the local Junior Farmers in this drive, knowing that absolutely all receipts will be donated to the Am- bulance Fund. The lads and lassies are opening the sale of tickets on Friday night of this week over the entire County and Agricultural Rep. W. M. Cock- burn of Newmarket, has offered to gssist by having tickets available at his office where those not near a local club may secure tickets. He suggests you send in a dollar and he will return your tickets and change in stamps, including a War Savings stamp. REV. DR. E. CROSSLAND APPOINTED ASST.

BALL NOVELTY â€" MONDAY, TUESDAY. “'EDNESDAY â€"- NEWS Richmond Hill district is well reâ€" presented in the Canadian contingent on duty in Iceland, and letters from the boys indicate that they are all well and happy in their new sur- roundings. Among the local boys now in Iceland are: Bill and George Adams, Charlie Hill, George Patter- son, Bill Trussell and Ernie Good. In a recent letter home Ernie Good describes conditions there as follows: “It is cold up here where we are." We wear winter underwear, a sweat- er, a tunic, a greatcoat, a leather jacket and a pullover hat. When go- ing to bed, we have 10 blankets over us besides our greatcoats, and we sleep in our socks, and I am not kidding you. “We are up in the mountains, and they are high. The houses are fewi and far between. There is a little town here, about three miles away, but there is nothing there anyway. “We are near a hot spring here, and is it hot! We wash our clothes in it. It is soft like rain water and full of sulphur. These springs are 600 feet deep. A few hundred feet away is a cold water spring, and it is very cold. “The people heat their houses with these hot springs and cook their din- ners in them, so they are all right. “You should have seen the town where we landed. The houses were nestled in the mountains. They are all painted white and red, and it looks like a dream or something you read about in a book. “When it rains here, it really rains night and day. There is daylight day and night, but we manage to sleep somehow. “It sure is hard to understand the ‘language, but I know some of it like ‘girl’ or ‘boy’, ‘yes,’ ‘no,’ ‘thank’, and La few things like that. They are {nice people, Danish I hear. I know ‘five or six of the boys here. I have lbeen in their houses, and they are ‘all neat and clean. They believe in llots of children."
