Trustee Blakelock, who suggested that the motion be abolished, was boi the opinion that it tended to create a division between town nd township. "I think the ruling lis wrong," he declared.

The family awoke Wednesday night to find the house a mass of flame. O'Hara hustled his wife and youngsters, James 6; PBliza- beth 4; Margaret, 4; and Carol, 12 months, outside bundled in blankets.

Questioned in hospital later by fire chief Freeman Bray, O'Hara stated the blaze started in the ceiling of his living room, and ex- pressed the opinion a mouse run- ning through the building with a match in it's mouth had caused the fire. Last year, in a check up of the entire municipality, Trafalgar council ordered chief Bray, chief George Wright and police chief Fred Oliver to clean up all shacks deemed to be fire traps. Chief Bray stated following the Hornby blaze that both he and chief Oli- ver visited the O'Hara home on two occasions and warned of the dangers.
