The Helensville Fire . Brigade was called out at about 8.30 p.m. on Thursday evening last, when there was an outbreak of fire in a small building at the rear of Stewart Bros., Ltd., fish factory. The Brigade was holding a dance at the time, and on hearing the fire-bell the membere lost no time in getting the reel out and the hose to work. The fire was quickly supressed, and very little damage resulted. There is talk out Glorit way of a definite and strong endeavour to get a really first-class road to the rail. A good road from Glorit to/ Auckland, via Helensvillle, would bring Glorit within two and a-half hours of the city by car. This would make a great difference to the Glorit part of the district, and add to the comfort of the settlers. Glorit has some progressive settlers.—Rodney Times.
