Plant* A serious .fire was averted ln Campbellford recently mvhen a grass fire which spread into sawdust surrounding the Simp- kmn Marine Manufacturing Comn- pany plant on Trent Drive, con-i taining highly volatile paint, got out of hand. Simpkins moved ta Campbellford from Bo wmaxî-_ ville some months ago. A disas- trous fire in their plant here was responsible to some extent for their removal from town asi most of thei- factary was des- troyed. The burning sawdust, piled; against a cetnent wall by the, wind, sent clouds of smoke' rolling from the plant, making the blaze appear worse than it actually was. The Campbcllford fi-e pumper was on the scene within minutes, and the fire- men concentratcd their efforts1 on the blazing piles of sawdust near the building. Rcalizing that moretan 1,000 gallons of paint and van- nish wcre stored inside the building, Fire Chief Alex Mac-' Donald put in a second alarm which brought the Seymour fi-e truck to the site with 500 gallons of water and an auxil- iany pump which tapped the Trent Canal. Several lines of base soon had the blaze subdued, but although the sawdust was well soaked, fresh tangues of flame kept licking out in several spots. A bulldozer was called in and ploughed a fi-e-break by clear- ing debris and sawdust from, around the building. Firemen stood by to make sure there were no funther outbreaks. Police kept traffic moving as many motorists, attracted to the supply ber girl friends with pen pals and still bas more than she can continue to write ta. When did Canada first use the ensign as ber- flag? In an aid issue of the Pont Hope Guide we saw the other day, 1893. It was praminentlv displayed without the coat of ai-ms.
