Following : his: newapaper ‘venture |
the late Mr. DeVoin -entered a real:
estate firm known as Rosenthal, Har-:
ris & DeVoin.- This ‘lasted for o short.
time and dn 1914 Rosenthal ‘and De-
Voin bought 2 farm near Smithers and
‘that is where the deceased ‘has made
his livelihood since. He took- over the
Rosenthal interests in the farm’ some
years ago, and had since worked up a
very profitable dairy business. -

During his .long residence in this
new country he was always found in|;

‘| the yanks of those desirous of placing

the country, and’ its resources “before
the public and -he did much valuable
work: along those lines.. He.cwas: a
good ‘citizen and was highly ‘regarded
by all who knew him, and-nearly ail

Town Terrace 7

A ‘meeting presided over by. H. Hal. _
liwell was ‘held ‘in:'the. municipal hall
on: Tuesday evening for the purpose
of ; promoting: a volunteer fire brigade
for the municipality. There - was: a £
good. attendance. The - chairman, in.
his remarkes pointed out. that at a.
former meeting proposals had been:
submitted to the commissioners for © -.
the provision - of fire fighting equip-
ment, but that owing to the’ ‘unsatis-
factory ‘water supply it had not been
considered desirable to provide "the
equipment desired.’ Since then, the’ ‘
new water mains had‘ been laid and
the water. supply was very- materially
improved through the main part of the
town,.and a volunteer brig gade” ‘could
very well find opportunity of: render-
ing a service. On motion of R. Beech-
er it was decided to ask the local com- -
issioners to provide 500° ‘feet of hose
and. nozzles, ‘and also. ‘Jadders, axes,
wreneches and other necessary, equip- .
ment. Mr, McLaren explained « the —
method of working with a volunteer
brigade and he was asked. to become.
drill. instructor. All those | present ©
agreed té form themselves into..a ¥ol-*
unteer brigade. The appointment of
officers and other organization. mat-
ters was left: to another meeting. a;
