Aroused by the smell of smoke, William MacDonald woke his wite and called to the children. The latter, marshalled by the old- er ones at the head of the stairs, joined hands and were led out- ride into the frosty air by their fatter. Mr. McDonald then returned to the house to search for his wife, but was driven back by the flames and smoke. Afterwards the body was found, Mrs. MacDonald ap- parently having been overcome by the fumes before she was able to escape. Mr. MacDonald said his wife answered his first call, saying she was unable to find her clothes. It is thought she de- iayed her search too long, while the father was leading the Chil- dren to safety and was overcome by the smoke. The children, clad only m night attire, were led across the snow-covered fields to the home of a neighbor. Nothing was saved from the flames, The fire is. believed to have started from an overheated chimney. CAPTAIN BEST AT FIRST BAPTIST BROTHERHOOD Whitby Minister Gave Ad- dress on Selfishness as Opposed to Christmas At the meeting of the Men's: Bro- therhood of the First Baptist Church on Sunday afternoon the af- tendance was larger than it has been so far this season the special speaker for the occasion being Rev. ptain T. F. Best, Whitby, who took for his subject "Selfishness" and its antagonism to the spirit of Christmas. . Captain Best stressed the point that selfishness was responsible for many of the ills and birden of the present generation, stating it as his opinion that the present period of depression through which the world is passing its directly traceable to a few who were selfish in the ex- treme. He pointed out that selfishness debarred many people from partici- pating in the true spirit of Christ- mas, stating that every individual would have a "Merry Christmas" exactly in proportion to the degree i wi ich he manifested the. spirit of unselfishness. The president of the Brotherhood, Frank Waram, presided over the meeting, the appreciation of the members being very warmly ex- pressed for the inspiring address delivered by Capt. Best.

At this time of the year, as a general rule, it is exceedingly hard to find a snake as these reptiles are usually lying dormant, frozen sec- urely into the earth where they make their winter quarters.

Before leaving to go home every boy and girl was pre- sented with candy and fruit which had been donated by the Ladies' Ald Society. . FOUR "TRINIDAD'S" One Discovered and Named by The name "Trinidad," which Col- umbus gave to that particular Bri- tish West Indies Island when he dis- covered it, implies "triple" or "three." Columbus so named the island because his first sight of land there was when he = spied three mountain peaks. There are at least three - other "Trinidad"s" in the New World, one in.Bolivia, one in Cuba .and one in ruguay. Probably each of these three owes its name to religious sig- nificarice, for "Trinidad" 'is the Spanish form of the 'English word, rinity," as in "Blessed Trinity." The, better know Trinidad is along the Canadian National Steam- ships route via the West Indies to British Guiana, Little man (in restaurant): Er-- excuse me--do happen to be Clarence Lutt, of Westmount ?

The youngster, Orval Oman, shouted as he dashed across Err- gang Lake, near his home, skid- aing on the sled. A gudden scream brought his father and mother to the door of their home .and they saw the boy sliding in- to a rapidly widening crack in the ice. He disappeared with the tled into the water. One by one, the father, mother, three other relatives and finally his 12-year-old brother, leaped into the lake and were drowned.

Mr, Tod acted as chairman calling first on Mayor Marks who was given a rousing welcome. Mr. Marks warmly ex- pressed his appreciation of the kindly friendship of Mr. Tod, which had extended over a per- fod of thirty years.

Intensive Campaign It was only on last Saturday that the new Chevrolet for 1932 was presented to the public of Canada. The actual showing of the new line followed an intensive campaign of preparation and advertising, but even then, the puplic response was not a foregone conclusion. There was no guarantee that buying sen- timent would be as good as it turn- ed out ta_be. The messages about the new car went out to the public in a hundred daily newspapers and through a widespread dealer organization. Early this week came the m in reply, and they are still com- ing. "Twelve thousand people at key points saw the car" is wording of a wire from the Mon- treal zone where scores of orders were taken on the first day of the showing. "Dealers delivered dis- play models off sales floor," reads a message from another gone. Apart from sales and sales pros pects, it was regarded as a sensa- tional introduction for the Cheévro- let, and car officials say that sales room attendance for the opening was the best since the six was in- + 3 troduced. "Many orders were booked," said William C. Herring, general sales manager, General Motors of Can- ada, Limited, "and indications point to heavier booking as time' goes on.
