Lost were 3,000 bushels of barley, 200 tons of hay, 110 tons of straw and 5,000 bales of straw. Cause of the blaze remains a mystery, Mr, Stewart is planning on rebuilding immediately. He has about 300 head of cattle to house for the winter. one kitten. Two kittens presumed lost in the fire were found Sunday af- ternoon hiding in a pile of stones near the scene. The three barns were filled to the rafters with this season's entire crop from the Stewart work of the firemen. He told the T-A Sunday, "they did a tremendous job in holding the flames from spreading to other adjoining buildings." A south-west wind blew sparks away from the farm home. A corn shed with more than 100 tons of corn located to the north-east of the burned barns was saved although some of the grain is scorched somewhat, Another shed very close to the main fire lost part of the roof but firemen were able to keep flames from a valuable scales used for the Stewart beef operation. Only nine head of cattle were in the barn when the fire started and they were able to escape. Lost in the blaze were two purebred Dalmation pups and Grand Bend Plan Reach-Out Councillors Webster and Des Jardins engaged in a verbal battle when Webster presented terms of reference for the village's clerk-treasurer. Des Jardins, a former clerk of the municipality objected to the move and referring to present clerk Mrs. Louise Clipperton said, "I have complete faith in her and her ability to do what is necessary. To this Webster replied, "That's not the point. It's just good business practice to define duties for any position." BARN FIRE RUBBLE — Fire of unknown origin destroyed a three barn complex on the farm of Ontario Minister of Agriculture and Food William Stewart, Saturday. Ruins of the barns are shown above with a corn shed which survived the blaze. T-A photo A three barn complex on the London township farm of Ontario's Agriculture Minister William A. Stewart was com- pletely destroyed by fire Saturday morning. Estimates of loss in the fire range from $8.5,000 to $100,000. The farm is located about a mile east of Elginfield. Mr. Stewart and farm manager Gerrit Van Keulen were in the barn about five minutes before the blaze started and they were not aware of any problems. Van Keulen had been in the upper portion of the main barn putting down feed and he doesn't recall smelling smoke. The two men went to another farm about 60 rods distant. Upon arriving, Van Keulen looked back and saw flames shooting into the sky. The Granton fire department was called to the scene by Mrs. Stewart. They were quickly joined by departments from Lucan, Thorndale and Ilderton through a mutual aid agreement. Mr. Stewart paid tribute to the Fire Chief — Continued from front page couldn't understand why the fire chief would need two days per week for those duties once he catches up with the backlog of work, Works superintendent Kells said he could see no problems with the arrangement and Deputy-Reeve Helen Jermyn said she was sure there would be cooperation. Middleton's salary as a member of the works department was then set at $3.25 per hour. It is expected he will receive $3.50 from the fire board. Clerk Eric Cars cadden said this would result in a reduction from his present salary with RAP of $16 per week. A motion was also approved at the suggestion of Shaw that the arrangement be reviewed no later than next April. Burning — Continued from front page This prompted a discussion regarding incinerators at stores and the motion was finally ex- tended to prohibit all types of don't know if I'm in favor," burning, ,I Mayor Jack Delbridge com- mented, "but if we're going to do it, let's do it now." His comment was in reference? to another suggestion that the leaf burning season was over and action could be delayed. Grand Bend council considered the same type of anti-burning bylaw in the fall of 1971, but ratepayers arrived en masse to oppose the move and the plan was quickly dropped. — Continued from front page closer to Huron than Lambtomas far as high school and recreation connections were concerned saying "Hay and Stephen townships may be closer to our hearts in these respects." To this councillor Webster replied, "we'll support the county that gives us the best deal, don't worry about the heart." While much of the discussion centred on the sewage system proposed for the village, Webster added, "we have more than sewers to talk about. I would like to think this council has some foresight. We need an official plan to cover all aspects," Grand Bend will be calling a meeting in the near future with offidials of the neighbouring townships of Stephen, Hay and Bosanquet along with the two counties to discuss mutual planning problems. To this Des Jardins replied, "I wish I had your enthusiasm. We don't have three vacant lots to plan with." In a move for more economy, council agreed to have the vapour lights along the beach north of the Casino turned off for the winter months. Webster who received estimates on the cost of the lights operation from the PUC said the saving could be as much as $500.
