is damaged by blaze
A fire early Monday which did
$75,000 damage at the Vanastra
recreation centre started in
electrical wiring above the
women's locker room, says
Robert Mains of the Ontario fire
marshal's office.
The fire, which damaged the
business offices and locker rooms
and washroom areas, was
discovered at 6:30 a,M. when
Debbie Denomme, assistant
director of the Vanastra day care
centre, arrived for work,
She called the Brucefield
volunteer fire department and 18
members of the department were
at the scene within minutes. The
Clinton fire department also
fought the hlaze.
Firem 0 said the fire had
apparently smouldered for
several hours, damaging the
men's locker room, before
breaking out in the women's_
locker room. The roof over those
areas was destroyed. The main
auditorium, the day care centre
and the swimming pool area had
only smoke damage,
June Ton3kins, assistant
director of the centre, said she
hopes the centre can be eleaned
up in time for Saturday night's
Christmas dance being held by
the Huron County singles club.

At the annual meeting which
preceded the election, Hamel
said that the year under review
had its problems, its challenges
and its successes. " Sharply
reduced milk volume
necessitated curtailment of
operations in the milk plants,
However, net earnings permitted
payment of a cash patronage
divident of 10 cents per cwt. on
93.6 percent of member's milk
and 3 cents per pound butterfat
on members' farm-separated
cream.
Hamel said it was impossible
for the co-operative to generate
earnings in the egg grading
business and that the directors
had decided to accept an offer to
purchase the egg grading
stations at Seaforth and
Strathroy, He said that this was a
very difficult decision for the
directors to make but vertical
integration in the egg industry
ruled out successful operations in
only grading and packing.
He also stated that the par
value of common shares had been
increased from $10 to $15 and that
this change had necessitated
transferring $893,000 from the
general reserve and contributed
surplus accounts to the share
account,
T.E. Brady, Executive Vice-
President and General Manager,
announced a decrease in sales of
3 percent to $89,882,043, due to the
decrease in milk receipts from a
year ago but net earnings at
$1,053,000 were slightly ahead of
last year,
a 6 km, cross-country ski trail.
Roads and washrooms._ will only
be maintained in those areas of
the park that offer a winter
recreation service,
Other provincial parks and
conservation areas, agreement
forests, and crown lands will
remain open to the public for
cross-country skiing and
snowshoeing on a walk-in basis.
In most provincial parks,
snowmobiling is permitted on
marked, unplowed roads in
designated areas. Snowmobiling
is not permitted in Pinery or
Rondeau, however unless there is
a 15 cm (6") snow depth on
roadways,
"Private clubs and
associations in co-operation with
the Ministry of Natural
Resources maintain over 3,400
km. of snowmobile and cross-
country ski trails in southwestern
Ontario. These trails are open to
the public and information
regarding these trails and
locations will soon be available at
our District Offices," Mr. Patrick
added.
