Charles Amidon has been appointed as fire warden very appropriately, it is thought, as he has timber interests, always responds to fire call with his sons and others, making swift time in their automobiles, and he knows how to fight fire, as does George V. Smith, who also responds to every call, and these services should be appre. ciated, as these fires are more of menace than some people seem to consider.

No bones were broken, gash was cut in her head and the jar and the nervous shock combined to make the situation alarming. Dr. Converse was summoned immediately and it is hoped that the results may not be serious, hut everyone is filled with solicitude.
