An overheated stove-pipe in the home of E. Simpson, Reynolds Street and Sumner Ave., gave the Oakville fire department a run Monday morning and resulted in damage roughly estimated in the hundreds of dollars. The pipe, whicli passed through a partition between two rooms on the first floor, ignited the woodwork, and the fire spread to the upper stor- ey. Under the direction of Dep- uty Fire Chief Bill Whitaker, fire- men fought the flames with a fog nozzle for well over an hour be: fore subduing them. New tar- paulins supplied by the brigade protected furniture from water damage. Chief Fred Shaw was out of town when the fire occurred. Sunday afternoon the firemen answered a call to Mayfair Apart- ments, opposite the high school on Reynolds Street, where some old papers in the basement had caught fire and ignited a parti- tion. The blaze was put out with an extinguisher and damage was negligible. ~ . A Japanese chef preparing some French fried potatoes for a soli- tary repast inadvertently started a small tire Sunday afternoon in the new house of J. EB. Hanson, Ennisclare Drive, on the old H. C. Cox estate. The fat used to fry the potatoes in was believed to have caught fire while the chef was absent for a moment or so. A cupboard above the range was burned and the walls of the Kil chen were smoked, but there w no other damage. The blaze out by the time the men of Tra- falgar fire brigade arrived in an- swer to a call. The owner of the louse and his family were said to be away.

Domestic and com- mercial consumers will receive official notice of the changeover with the next billing, the Oakville Public Utilities Commission stat- ed yesterday The industrial consumers were instructed by Mr. Hewlett to be prepared to perform whatever. work is necessary to make equip- ment operate satisfactorily on the 60 cycle supply frequency, on the understanding that the Com- mission will reimburse them for the cost involved. Any and all conversion must be completed with- 90 days after the change of frequency, Mr. Hewlett stated. Domestic and commercial con- sumers will be similarly affected by the changeover, according to a public utilities official. How- ever, it is expected that the tim- ing devices on electric stoves, clocks and some record players will be the only household items which will require adjustment. Present plans call for the bring- ing here of the Hydro clock de- pot, which will handle all electric clocks at the time of the switch- over.

Referring to the pulp industry, the minister claimed that the town of Espanola had: been revived as a result of the policies of the Conservative government of Ont- arlo. He denied the charge that pulpwood was being sent out of Canada in increasing quantities. Exports, he sald, were being re- duced. Mr. Gemmell urged his hearers to take an interest In northern Ontario, and encourage its devel opment. "In the ranks of the Con- servative party are men of fore- sight, with policies that will op- en the north country up he de- clared. "Let every one of us In this province appreciate the wealth the north country brings to this province, and encourage our young people to ko there."
