Just before noon on Saturday
the fire siren) sounded and the
North Saanich Volunteer Fire Bri-
rade was soon hitting the high
spots to the property of Mrs. -T.
R.- Davis, Swartz Bay, where a
fire in the bush was making great
strides to get beyond control,

The quick. arriv
brought the blaze under eontrol
after a two-hour battle, when. Mrs,
Davis surprised the perspiring fire
fighters. with generous helpings of
plum eake and eoffee. (Other citi-
take note! This seems

Mrs. Davis, living a long dis-
tanee from the fire hall, previously
was not greatly interested in the
fire brigade —- but talk to her now
and you will find that she is thor-
oughly impressed with the results
obtainable through the . efficient
operation of our brigade. The boys
say ‘Many thanks, Mrs. Davis, for
