Set -Fire Loss at $16,11-( .When McKillop Barn Burn Damage, estimated by Fire Chief J. F. Scott at $16,000, resulted Fri- day when fire destroyed a large L-shaped barn on the McKillop farm of Joseph Ryan, RR 1, Dub- lin. Lost in the blaze were the com- plete 1960 crops which were stored in the barn. Implements were sav- ed when neighbors managed to pull them from the path of the flames. Seaforth firemen reached the scene within a few minutes of re- ceiving the alarm and centred their efforts on saving a driving shed located a short distance from the barn. The fire was discovered by a crew of HEPC workers, who gave the alarm about 3 o'clock and summoned neighbors.. Doors were set up as barricades against the heat in an effort to get close to the fire, but the fire- fighters were driven off by the heat. Men ,who tried to direct hose streams from on top of the driving shed also were driven off by the heat. Cream cans and two trucks load- ed with barrels were used to draw water from a neighboring farm, There was no .livestock in the barn- • The Ryan farm is located miles north and five miles east of' Seaforth. The loss is the second which Mr, Ryan has suffered. He lost a barn by fire about 20 years ago while farming south of Dublin.

Arrangements for the -sale of the property, which adjoins Seaforth on the east, were com- pleted by the hospital board last spring with the owner, Albert Horner. Mr. Horner is moving to the Cameron residence on East Wil- liam Street, at Franklin, which he purchased from the estate of the late Wilfred Cameron. The sale involved the 85 -acre Horner farm. Until preliminary planning is completed by the board's architects and the hospital consultant firm of Agnew, Peck- ham and Associates, a decision concerning -the siting of the pro- posed hospital can not be taken. In the meantime, the property has been rented to Jan Jansen, RR 5, Seaforth. Mr. Jansen also has purchased the barn on the prop- erty and will remove it and re - erect it on his farm on the second of McKillop. The residence on the property has been rented to Sven' D. Meeuwisse. . It -is expected that planning con- sultants will visit the site early this month. Results of the sur- vey will be available early in the new year. While preliminary steps leading to a new hospital are be- ing taken, the board emphasized in its original announcement con- cerning the new site that actual construction could not commence until necessary funds had been made available.

M. Aldis, M.D. D.P.H„ medical officer of health for Huron County. Of this number, 23,650 had no reportable disease or abnormality. Seventeen cases of pulmonary tuberculosis were detected. Of these, eight were diagnosed as ac- tive. This represents .03 per cent of the total surveyed had active TB. - At.the same time, 515 other dis- eases and abnormalties were dis- covered. These results compare favorably with those of the previous survey in 1956 when 19,525 persons' were processed. The addition of tuber- culin testing to the latest survey, increased -the coverage to all chil- dren and was exceedingly well re- ceived in most Centres, comment- ed Dr. Aldis, All persons over 40 years of age who -attended the survey have' had the additional satisfaction of know- ing that they were also screened for conditions such as irregular,, heart shadow, possible tumour and other abnormalities-- which occur more frequently from this age on, the health officer continued. Some adults may have inadvett- ently missed the survey, said Dr. Aldis. They are advised that their family physician can test them and refer them, if advisable, to the monthly free chest clinic in their area. Clinics are held in Sea - .forth at Scott Memorial Hospital at regular intervals. Both the mass survey and the referred clinics are supported by the sale of Christmas Seals. Cam- paigns for the sale are conducted, each year by the Huron County: Tuberculosis Association. and are selling for 50c apiece.
