$40,000 loss in farm fire
BLYTH NEWS
Damage was estimated at more
than $40,000 by Blyth Fire Chief
Irvine Bowes in afire on the farm of
Ray Rammeloo on the 6th conces-
sion of Morris township on Tues-
day of last week.
Firemen were called to the fire at
7:40 a.m. to find an implement
shed burning beyond control. The
shed was being used to store extra
hay and straw but also housed two
tractors.
The Rammeloos had earlier
used one of the tractors to a
snowblower to blow out the lane
and put it back in the shed.
Firemen were unable to determine
a cause but suspect either the
tractor gave off a spark and set the
straw and hay on fire or the tractor
went on fire itself.
About 3,000 bales of hay and
straw, as well as the equipment
and the shed itself were lost. Blyth
firemen were on the scene for
nearly three hours protecting
nearby buildings from sparks. A
tanker from the Wingham Fire
Department was also at the scene.

vehicle in front of it braked. The
driver of the truck braked his truck
but on the snow-packed road the
truck jack-knifed. The trailer
swung into the westbound lane
where it was in collision with Mr.
Tebbutt's car which was west-
bound toward Auburn.
The Tebbutt car was demolished
and the truck then went off the
south side of the road, down an
embankment and into a field.
Mr. Tebbutt was only slightly
injured. There was $2500 damage
to his car. The truck suffered
$30,000 damage.
Traffic late Tuesday afternoon
was tied up for some time while
crews worked to remove the truck
from its place in a field.
Phone busy
at Christmas time
The heavy volume Yuletide
season long distance calling to
relatives and friends will peak on
Christmas Day.
Upwards of six million toll calls
will be placed across Canada, with
more than one million of them
placed in Ontario.
The vast majority will be dialed
direct by customers because this is
the fastest and cheapest way to call
long distance. But operators will
also be very busy.
In Southwestern Ontario, some
129 operators will be on duty over
the 24 hours on Christmas day, said
Peter Croome, local Bell Canada
manager.
