'faced tele- vision cameras at 'points along the route. .Engineers from CKNX-TV had spent Saturday morning set- ting up their equipment at vantage points near the P.U,C. corner to enable TV viewers for many miles around to 'watch the big parade on their screens this year' for the first time. A heavy rainfall immediately af- ter the parade ended sent spec- tators at the park scurrying for shelter. Fortunately it was a brief shower and the main events of the afternoon program were completed before another shower put a stop to the step-dancing, the barbershop quartet and the horse show. The CKNX Barn Dance' was held in the arena in the evening and it minded a fitting wind up for this year's celebrations. Televis- ion cameras were again focused on this event which was attend- ed by an' 'even larger crowd than last year. • Although there is no way of ac- curately computing the number of people who watched the big- par- ade, it is generally conceded that the crowd in town was consider- ably larger than last year.

Wingham 'town bell .had to be used to call fire- fighters, since there was no power to operate the siren. Sight-seeing motorists lined the concession road and caused a de- lay to the fire department, which concentrated on keeping the blaze from spreading to Other farm buildings. • The fire was first noticed by a neighbor, Harold Casemore, who thought at first the light was com- ing froth a barn lantern. , The ,barn, 66 by 60 feet, was located on concession 11, and con- tained the entire season's crop and a number of farm implement% The loss was only partly insured, At 11,30 pen. the glow from the flames could still be seen in Wing- ham, Mr.' and Mrs. Owen King reside in the residence on the Sproal farm.
