Sask. Woman. Five Children Burned To Death

MELFORT, .Sask.. Aug. 7-(OF) -A 81-year-old district form we- man and her five children were burned to death Wednesday when 9. fire of unknown origin destroy. ed their farm home seven miles south of here.

The victims were Mrs.

Walter

m Spry; David, six months; Ernest,

Z: Gsrald. 6: John, 2? and Irene,

- The father, Walter Spry, 54, wag in Melfort on business at the time. Melfort is 100 miles north- east of Saskatoon.

The milled! was discovered by Mr. and Mrs. James Grant, neigh- bors. who came to investigate af- ter they noticed a plume of black smoke rising from the Spry farm. They arrived just as the roof col- lapsed and were unable toattenipt to rescue the trapped family.

Bundles of clothing and bedding at the windows of the house at that time indicated that the mo- ther had apparently tried to save some of the family's belongings.

The charrad remains were re-

covered by R.C.M.P. oHicers. The body of the baby was not located until almost noon today. about 19 hours after the fire. The other

bodies were recovered late last night. Details of the tragedy are

meagre because there were no sur- vivors. But it is believed the fire might have started in the kitchen of the farm home. All six bodies were found in wh'at had been the living room.

Strange But True ,

.Iyl.I.MloAI1hI 3

About 40 years ago a. strange and startling event occurred in a

' . farm home not far from the City

of Charlottetown.

It was the month of December, with 9, new mantle of snow cov- ering the ground. Within the home a young child lay danger- ously ill. Her doctors said she might die any minute. on the particular night with which this story has to do, three neighbor women were keeping vig- ils over the sick child. The three were mature married women with families of their own. None of the watchers were superstitious or hysterical.

By ten o'clock all membe of the home were asleep. The sick child and the mother slept down- stairs. All was peaceful that De- cember nlght, until-the watch- ers' duty was to keep on the tires and administer the medicines at regular intervals. Just as the clock was striking the midnight hour a sound like the rushing of angry waters broke the silence of the night.

This was followed minutes later by a. series of ear-splitting noises which appeared to come from the building itself. The house rocked gently on its foundations, and the walls of the kitchen. where the three women sat about the fire. expanded and contracted like a living thing.

Not a word was spoken by the watchers. They were too terrified for words. They Just stood close to each other and prayed. Sud- denly the noise ceased and all was as calm as before.

Without the moon shone bright- ly, and the three having banished the first great shock of fear, op- ened the door leading to the out-

side and looked around. Not a creature was to be seen. Entering the sick room, they

found mother and child awake. The medicine was administered without further ado and the wo- men returned to the kitchen.

One hour the some terrible noise came again. It shook the watchers to their very bones. Then the outside door creaked on its hinges and partly opened, though the night was perfectly calm.

The three fell to their knees in prayer. What else could they do?

By this time the sleeping family got to its feet. All of them had jheard that awful commotion and were in great fear.

t A thorough search of the prem- yises revealed not It trace of any- -thing out of order. Whatever caused the strange noises still re- mains one of the unsolved mys- teries of our time. .

It is a far cry from those good old days when Canadians sought and proudly boasted of a mini- mum of Government interference in their daily lives.

Our self indulgence at Govern- ment expense has resulted in high taxation. and a decline in our moral standards. Gone is the in- dependent spirit of our forefath- ers who met and conquered their own individual problems. In its place has risen an attitude of de- pendency under which entirely too many look longingly to the Governments for handouts.
