LAWRENCE, Phm. B. : "The Result Prugest' Pots 49; ~ Port Perry, ont. ; Proteciion? Have We Enough Watermain? Would the Cost of Installation of More Watermains be too great? "Naturally the occurrence of two serious fires at the outskirts of the town has brought the matter of fire protection to the minds of the people for consideration. The fact is that the watermains should be extended about five blocks, if anything like adequate fire pro- tection is to be given to the outlying parts of the town. The following watermain extensions are suggested: 1 Along the Avenue from Ontario Street, South one block. 2 From Mr. Parrish's corner on Cochrane Street, east along Balsam Street to Mr. Brookes' corner. 3 From the corner of 'Queen and Simcoe, south along Simcoe one block to Mrs. Woods' corner, 4 From Mr. Parrish's corner one block north along Cochrane Street to Mr. Ingram's corner. It is thought that if these extensions were made, and the present hose system maintained, all parts of the town would have reasonable fire protection. The cost of this installation would be about $4000. This estimate is based upon the actual cost of instal- . ling three blocks of watermain on Cassimer Street for $2000.00, It should be remembered that there has been a rev- énue from every watermain that has been laid in the town so far. It is probable that the revenue would be smaller in the outlying districts, but there should be some. When a. watermain is once installed, the upkeep is very small, The cost is little, if any, more than the cost of hose, and with hose the wear and tear is considerable. ; Another expenditure that should be considered is purchasing of a chemical fire engive. This equipment is rapid and effective, often extinguishing a fire be- fore the regular equipment can be put into operation. One more suggestion has been made--the purchase of a small truck, on which all the hose could be loaded at one time. This would save confusion and double trips. A good second-hand truck should be bought cheaply to-day. The probable total cost of this improved fire pro- tection equipment would be about $6,000. Such an expenditure could only be made by the issuing of de- bentures, which will require that a by-law be submit- ted to the people. Our suggestion is that the Council have the by-law prepared ready to be voted on at the municipal elections. . This plan is merely a suggestion, .and should be carefully considered from all angles before being adopted. There may be much better plans. A Brutal Attack Jean Cumming defends herself from serious injury when attacked by the hired man. A young farm lad employed by Mr. Adam Carating, of Man- chester, took advantage of the absence of Mr. and Mrs. Cumming to make an attack on their daughter, Jean. The boy, who hails from Grzenwick, Eng., was secured by Mr. Cumming through the immigration autharities. Apparently from investigation it transpired that very little care was taken in selecting this boy for Canadian citizenship. This is the account of the affair given by the family: The young man, whose name is Mac Frizzell, was sent by Mr. Cumming to do some under brushing at the rear of the farm. | But instead of going he must have hid about the barn, and shortly | after the leaving of Mr. and Mrs. Cumming, he appeared in the| house, and asked for a piece of rubbed piping to fix the water | pipe at the barn. Jean suspecting nothing gave him a piece of tubing from a tire; and he went upstairs, where he apparently secured a red handkerchief. This he fixed into the tubing in such a way that when the, two ends were drawn the whole affair would tighten. - After a while the young fellow returned, and when Jean was not looking, he threw the arrangement over her head and started to draw the ends of the handkerchief. At first Jean thought he was just fooling; but it soon dawned on her that she had to deal with a young man whose purpose 'was bad. Then the struggle ensued in which Jean was fas helped by the dog. ally she | managed to knock her assailant over and in falling he struck the corner of a bureau. 'This fall rendered him u ious for a short Sine, ab and, q Jears was able to escape from the house and tele- r , where fortunately the Provincial policeman Li motor cycle.

The young fellow was arrested and was taken to Whitby, where he awaits trial. Jean Cumming is to be congratulated upon her escape from serious injury and complimented upon her brave defence of her- self from a desperate character. Mr. T. Stewart Loses His House by Fire. About midnight Wednesday of last week, fire broke out in the rear of Mr. T. Stewart's house. were at Sonya; and the fire had a what had happened. At the time Mr. and Mrs. Stewart great start before anyone noticed The brigade did what they could to save the situation but it was hopeless from the first for the water pressure was low and the fire had gained such headway that the building was doomed before the brigade arrived. There was some insurance and Mr. Stewart is busy rebuilding his home. We regret his serious loss, but it is pleasing to see that he is losing no time in re- building. Potato and Grain Fair Ontario County One hundred and eighteen boys and young men from every section of Ontario County entered exhibits in the Grain and Potato Fair held at Uxbridge on Saturday, November 1st. The event created quite a lot of in- terest and drew a large attendance not only of the boys and their parents and friends but of others who were interested in what the boys doing. The Toronto Kiwanis Club which has co-operated with the Ont. Department of Agrigulture in helping along Boys' Agricultural Clubs was represented to the extent of several carloads. The Hogg & Lytle Seed Firm also interested in the production of cleaner and better grain crops was represented at the Fair by Mr. Perrin, Manager of the Mariposa plant. Mr. Perrin, when called upon for a few remarks by Agricultural Rep- resentative W. M. Croskery, made the statement that his firm was willing to clean up the grain from any of the 96 acre plots of grain throughout the County free of charge at any one of the Firm's five plants at Oshawa, Port Perry, Cannington, Blackwater, Sun- derland or Mariposa. were Kiwanian A. Payne extended an in- vitation to the 180 odd boys and young work to a Kiwanis luncheon in the Royal York Hotel, 'on November 19th. Plans are now being made to run a number of special large buses. from points in Ontario County to Toronto on that day. Not only will 'the boys visit the Royal York but they will also have a good full day and evening at the Royal Winter Fair. An item of unusual interest in the Fair programme on Saturday was the presentation of a gold medal to Wm. T. Harrison of Udora in recognition of producing the highest yield in the Ontario County "300" Bushel Potato Club. The medal had a suitable in- scription and a cut of a bushel hamp- er of potatoes on the front and on the back the name of the winner and his yield which in this case was 455 bushels. Mr. George Smith, Manches- ter, who produced the highest yield last year, 355 bushelsy¥was second this year with 427 bushels.

The pro gram will be in charge of Miss Agnes Whittaker. The November meeting of the Vie- torian Women's Institute was held at the home of the president Mrs. Leslie Graham, on Wednesday afternoon of last week with a splendid attendance of members and visitors. The meet ing opened with devotional exercises followed by a short business session. A question as to whether to continue sending the annual barrel of fruit to the Sick Children's Hospital as usual or to change and send to the Child- ren's Shelter at Port Hope, was left for another meeting. Mrs. the District President, ex- pressed the opinion that while the group system was an admirable one, it was a mistake to discontinue the printed programs which the institute was accustomed to using. The pro- gram which was in charge of group six was as follows: reading by Mrs. Mervin Mountjoy; paper by Mrs. T. | Smith, "Farmer Neighbours"; reading by Miss Esther Strong, and a splendid paper by Mrs. Capper, on "A Mother's ! duty to herself and her family." A lunch was served and after a vote of thanks had been tendered Mrs. Gra- ' ham for her hospitality, the meeting was brought to a close. | Among the holiday visitors under parental were: Miss Mabel Argue, Peterboro; Misses Olive Van- | Camp, Marjorie Nesbitt, Eva Parr, Vera Forder, Phema Hooey, and Vera Hooey, of Toronto; Miss Florence McLaughlin, Kingston; Miss Laura Bailey, Grand Valley, Miss Hazel 'Mountjoy, New Park.

What neatly proved a fatal accident occurred on Wednesday last when Master Donald Graham, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Graham, serious- ly injured one eye and nearly his life, when the car in which he was riding collided with a horse and buggy, the shaft" of the buggy breaking and piercing his eye. He was taken to St. Michael's Hoipital, Toronto, where for several days his life hung in the balance; but the crises has passed and the whole community is delighted to know that contrary to all expectations Donald is slowly but surely recover- ing.
