Phillips & Son on CoUingwood St., had a close call from a ftre Tuesday morning of this week. When dis- covered by Wallace Hamilton as he ^v-as passing, the fire had gained considerable headway in the passage on the west side of the building and when Mr. Hamilton opened the door he was met with a wall of flame. He quickly gave the alarm and grabbed a nearby shovel and commenced to throw snow on the flames, while tho fire alarm was sent in. By the time the fire-fighting outfit arrived, which was only a couple of minutes, the fire was under control. Tlie blaze caught On the wall upstairs and a pail Of water subdued that and the fii-e in the floor. The walls of the passaigeway were scorched. Smoke d'Biniage was also suffered in the harness shop. It is mppoied tttat tke fat started in an enupty paper carton. w*hich Ml-. Phillip* had emptied of leather and ruibber refuge into the coal stove and it is thought that one side of the box caught fi-om the coal fire as the contents were being dumped and it was not seen when the box was i-eturned to the passageway. At almost any fire some funny oe- currances will ci-oip up in the excite- ment of the moment. We .gave a citizen, who was in the office at the time, our small fire extinguisher to use on tile fire, and as he was goinpr out the door he grabbed the snow shovel and took it along. When he arrived aci-oss the street he thrt«\v the extingui.sher in the snow bank and started to throw snow onto th>' blaze. .A.pparently he thou.aht such a little thing (it held a quart of Pyiene) ^vas no good at such, a time.

Veteran Pilot Praises Ontario Safety Program It's safer in the air than on the ground today, but real progress is now being made in traffic safety, ac- cording to Clyde Pangbom, veteran U.S. pilot with 18,000 flying hours to hig credit.
