He of Newcastle were reported "up in arms" yesterday after their vol- mnteer fire department refused to answer a fire call early Sunday to 11 a blaze just outside the town on No. 2 Highway when the ve-room, one-storey, frame houle of Joseph Grant, R.R. 2, New- , burned to the ground. Fire ef Frank Miller was said to have to send the men because e was no adequate water supply on the high ground where the house was built. In the meantime, the short-lived, furious blaze levelled the building in minutes, leaving Mr. and Mrs. Grant homeless. A meeting of fire department of- ficials and council representa- tives was called at Newcastle fire hall, with matter of fire protection tion for rural homes to be discuss- ed. Assistant Fire Chief Randall said there had been several fires outside the town recently, and that Sunday's devastating fire ha said the fire department needed a water supply within 1500 feet of the blaze, leaving ample footage of the total 1900 feet of hose to manoeuver around the fire. Another question was whether payment should be made by rural areas making use of Newcastle's fire department. Joseph Grant and his wife were reported to have awakened early Sunday when smoke filled the house. While Mr. Grant moved his truck and tractor away from the searing flames, his wife fled in night clothing to the house of neighbour, Fred Cox, where a call was made to the Newcastle fire department, Seventy-foot flames soon demolished the frame con- struction, leaving scorched concrete blocks to mark the site the neat bungalow' once occupied. Neighbours from miles around trekked to the scene as the flames, visible for three miles, drew the d | curious to the shambles of a dwell- ing. A newcastle hotelkeeper offer- ed three weeks' free lodging to the displaced couple, but Joe Grant and wife decided to say with neigh- mour Fred Cox, Fire was said to have begun in an overheated coal stove. ; Newcastle fire department offic- ials and town council representa- tives decided at the meeting last night at a special meeting in New- | castle to recommend to town coun- |cil publication of a letter in the | local newspaper, advising people in {rural areas near Newcastle to re- gister with the town clerk if fire protection is desired. After applica- tion to the the town clerk, the rural properties will be surveyed as to water supply available, while regis- trants will .be asked if they will pay the fire service fee.

Opposition motions to have them tabled have been rejected by the Liberal majority. Mr. St. Laurent identified them 8s: 1.

William Palmer, Department of Municipal Affairs supervisor, was the guest speaker, and he was in- troduced by Lloyd Johnston, Pick- ering Township clerk, who is doing double duty until Pickering Vil- Jaze sets up its'own municipal of- ces. The bylaw recently passed by County Council creating the new village was read by Mr. Johnston as were the results of the election last week. COUNCILLORS TOOK OATH After the reeve and council mem- bers had taken the oath, adminis- tered by Clerk Johnston, Reeve Cyril Morley took the chair and in his inauguaral address outlined the program planned for the ensuing months. Reeve Morley called upon sev- eral of the invited guests to speak, and Heber Down, Warden of On- tario County; Reeve Todd, Picker- ing Township; John Mills, Improve- ment District of Ajax; Reeve Elm- er Powell, East Whitby; T. K. Creighton. Pickering Village legal form guests and remarked that the assemblage were not just heads of municipalities but men who had | devoted considerable time and ef- fort toward the betterment of their fellowman. Councillor Grant Mes- ser seconded the motion with a few well chosen remarks. The evening ended with a social hour and many important questions of the day were discussed by the little groups exchanging greetings and reminicing of past events. PROGRAM FOR COUNCIL In his inaugural address, Reeve Morley reviewed the history of Pickering, which had become a police village in 1900, and expressed appreciation to those who had as- sisted it in attaining its new status of an incorporated village. The first problem to be faced by the new council, he said, was that of effecting separation from the township in financial matters and services formerly supplied by the township. This transition he felt would be completed before the end of 1953. "We will set up a committee to continue and finalize the obtaining of water for the village. A commit- | tee will also be appointed to com- | shape." | COMMENDED KEEN INTEREST Congratulating the municipality on its new status, William Palmer, supervisor of the Department of Municipal Affairs, complimented the people of the new village on the keen interest shown in munici- (al affairs, as evidenced by the 66 |per cent vote in their first elec- tion. This was a favorable omen in the direction of good municipal government. "I would like to stress to you here tonight," said Mr. Palmer, 'that you who are the responsible people of your municipality, should at all 'times co-operate with your council, Co-operate with the ap- ointed officials, and above all, ex- ercise your franchise. Make certain | that the people for whom you are | voting are competent to be the chief executives. You will find that in having more civic pride and more interest in your municipality, both you and the municipality will benefit." On behalf of the Hon. George Dunbar, minister of municipal af- | fairs, Mr. Palmer congratulated | the village of Pickering and wished the council every success. Easter -- a time of hope. No time could be more approp- riate for Rotary Clubs throughout the country to launch their Easter Seal campaigns -- a major project to raise funds for Rotary's prime interest, the assistance and care of crippled children. In the area west of Oshawa, Pickering Rotary Club is sponsgring the Seal cam- paign. This week has sent out let- ters through the mail containing seals and setting forth the aims of the project. Neil Shortreed, man- ager of the Canadian Bank of Com- merce at Pickering, is treasurer of the fund. All donations should be addressed to him. Because of the larger population in the Pickering-Whitby district this year, the Seal Committee found that it did not have sufficient mail- Pickering Rotary Aids Crippled Children Fund ing material to send to all those who would possibly want to donate. Accordingly, it is asked that citi- zens do not delay until a formal invitation comes along, but they may send donations to the treasur- er now. W. C. Murkar of Pickering is Publiciity Chairman; Fred White is General Chairman; others on the committee include Reeve George Todd, Dr. Nelson Tomlinson and Ross Murison. Like other Rotary Clubs, the Pickering Club has done a great work with crippled children. It as- sists families whose means are limited for # medical expenses. Through the contacts of Rotary, specialist treatment can be obtain- ed at nominal cost.

Two opposition members, Albert Wren (Lib. Lab.--Kenora) and T.D.

The labor department's estimates included money to cover increa- ses in pensions for widows to $75 from $50 a month, and for children whose fathers were killed in such accidents to $25 from $12, "We could do something," Mr. Thomas said. "The suffering they have undergone started when their husbands died. Let's assess the em- ployers for accidents going back two or three years--and farther back we can take it out of the consolidated revenue fund."
