day morning when their barn was
burned to the ground, The brothers,
Wilbur and Clayton Grainger had
retired and the fire was discovered
by a neighbor, Scott Adams, who
was returning to his 'home, "i
Scott said the fire had gained
headway as the whole top of the
building seemed on fire. 01 the
eighty head of stock, four cew$ and
several calves were 'burned while
others which escaped suffered
burns. Grainger Brothers kept a
valuable herd of Hereford cattle.
Several machines, and a truck
parked close by were burned.
Wingham fire brigade responded
but could only keep the fire from
spreading to other buildings. The
loss, especially unfortunate at this
time of year, is estimated at $25,000.
Cause of the fire is unknown.

of the west and north sections of
the Presbyterial.
The ladies were welcomed to
Exeter and to the James Street
Church by Mrs. Q. S. Zurierigke Ex-
eter, to which Mrs. W. J. Greer,
Wingham, made a fitting reply.
In the absence of the correspond.
ing seererary, Miss Minnie Barber,
Mrs. W. j, Greer took the roll call
and gave the statistical report. An
appeal W.aa made to the ladies to
try to, develop the talent within
their own groups. While it is desir-
able to have guest speakers at the
Meetings occasionally, it is not wise
to have them too frequently. The
ladies were also 'asked to make
provision for missionary training
fOr the young women of the con-
gregation.
The book award given to the,
auxiliary whose members have read
the most missionary books during
the year was woe by Bethel Auxil-
iary and was the book entitled
"Mist on the River," It was also
mentioned that the study next year
would be on Trinidad.
The Christian citizenship secre-
tary, Mrs, M. Doig, Fordwich,
chose a unique way of presenting
her story. This was a poster on
which was painted a wheel called
"Christian Citizenship."
There were four main spokes in
the wheel representing temperance,
social welfare, racial brotherhood
and world peace and the. spokes
in between told What each person
could do to prernete . these four
things. Each spoke came from the
huh of the wheel which was Called
"You," thus depicting. that ..all
these things depend on the indecrid-
aal.
A new, office, that of candidate
secretary, was eStablished this year
and Mrs, W. J, Griffin appealed to
each woman to eoneider herself a
candidate secretary and be ever on
the alert for 'young women who
might give full time service to the
church as missionaries at home or
abroad.
The 1955 allocation for Huron
Presbyterial was $11,000.00 and
$11141.00 was sent to the branch
treasurer; thus the allocation was
exceeded by $1.41.00. However, in
1056 the Presbyterial has been
asked to raise $21,000, 8o members
were requested to put forth an
extra effort.
