Mr. Laing, a prominent farmer in Glarke Township was in Orono in the afternoon, visited the bank and later met some friends. He. was in good health at the time and told of his trip through the ■ 1,000 Islands. Arriving home he started to bloat between between five and six o'clock and at seven o'clock a,call was sent in to Dr. Colville, who arrived at , 7.30 and worked to try and relieve the gas that had formed in his stomach. Dr. Manning was also called in, and after the both doctors had worked for some time Mr. Laing said he felt a little better, but later he felt another attack coining on and in about thirty seconds he collapsed and passed away, between eight and nine o'clock. The cause pf death is given as an obstruction obstruction that closed the bowels which caused gas to form on his stomach that finally pressed tight, against the heart and s,topping it. This is similar similar to acute 'gastritus. The late Mr. Laing had a similar attack on Sunday last but no medical medical aid Was necessary. He was the son of. the late Wim. Laing and Was born near Newcastle'. He leaves to mourn his loss, his wife (nee. Miss Hancock of Newton ville), and one son George, who lives at home. The Orono Times along with the many friends, extend their sincere sympathy tb the sorrowing family.

SEEKS MATE The following item was taken from the Brockville Recorder and Times of Monday, July 19th, 1937, which reads as follows follows : "Gordon Sharp, 28-year- old Pontypool, Ont., farmer, saw a story in a newspaper concerning concerning a fellow-bachelor in search of a wife. Now he wants to try his luck in a similar similar quest. The lady must have $2,000, be a housekeeper' and healthy. He can't locate any girls meeting Ms standards in his own district, he claims. In return he offers any applicants from 18 to 38 years of age, himself, a 100-acre farm, including including a horse, cow, LOO chickens chickens and barn full of hay. ONE MINUTE FLAT The fire alarm was sounded on Wednesday afternoon around five o'clock and the fire engine was roaring roaring out of the hall one minute later to answer a call that was put in to extinguish a blaze in the town dump behind M. Cbwan's residence. The firemen, used the booster pump with the small hose and two chemical extinguishers to extinguish the blaze. After some difficulty the fire was put out. It is thought that someone dumped dumped hot ashes into the dump which started the dry material to burn. Orono has a fine fire brigade and the citizens of the town can sleep soundly soundly at night and know that if they are ever in need of the brigade they will have quick response.
