Prairie fire threatens J Bradley farm at Tarbolton
Last Tuesday afternoon a prairie fire of unknown origin swept across the sand hills, men fought the blaze with thirty to forty workers, sparing the J Bradley farm from serious damage. Nearby residents and visitors were noted, including Toronto guests Mr and Mrs L Pommer and Barry Cochranes grandparents in Brandon. A Friday crowd attended D Edwards barn dance raising funds for the Red Cross, with music by Ivan Graham Wallace Gray and Leslie Dodds. The Wedderburns moved their house to a new foundation, taking longer than expected to complete the shift.
