Travelling with only a min-i- mum of equipment. including their 9 x 9 x 7 tourist tent, they had a grand time through very good weather and cooked their own meals outdoors. Maple folk are still tense and the sound of a fire siren is enough to send cold chills along everyone’s spine. On August 17 when the fire engine was out, the “old Rumble barn” west of Keele Street North, burst into flames. A two year old crop of hay was in the 51 year old barn and urged on by a strong wind. it was burning furiously within minutes. The Richvale fire De- partment answered the alarm but by then it had a tremen- dous start. The wind blew parts of the roofing over a wide area amid the billows of dense black smoke. Norman Lund of Maple Road raced home from the Township office to find his wife Zellma armed with a hose and lthey were able to stamp out burning fragments on their lawn. Across the road on the. south side, sparks landed on ‘Dick and Olive Seeds house‘s roof. This is one of the few houses with wooden shingles and in no time a section was ablaze. A motorist stopped to lend a hand and a neighbor. Mr. Bone gave his hose to add as an extension. The Wood- bridge fire Brigade arrived and .put out the flame but only after a large hole was burned through the roof. (The next day, being very sensitive re sparks, Dick had his barbecue so well shielded for protection, the meat had to fight its way to get near enough to the heat to get barbecuedl). A fireman from Richvale was Concord 5; Edgeley districts. and in Concord, Mrs. Ruth This barn has been a source of worry for several in the im- mediate vicinity because the children played there. using the big rope to swing across from one loft to the other to land in the hay.

Toronto on August 17, Mr. Arthur Wells has lost a close friend of many, ‘many years. Onxboth Saturday and Sun- day the firemen were called back because of fla-re ups to re- soak the hay.

A Ray of Sunshine While sorting through the attic at her home, Joan (Jo) Joslin came across her cat “Mac”. He had dis-appeared two weeks ago (understandably) and hadn’t been seen since and Jo was naturally concerned. However because Mac is a ‘mighty h‘un‘ter‘ he had fonaged for himself and hid out in the attic.
