know now - the cause has been listed
as ‘unknown,’ ” he said.
After being awakened by the
smoke alarm, the family fled to
neighbours Bill and Sylvia Steven
son’s home, where they called in the
alarm to the Brussels Fire Depart
ment, which passed it on to Blyth in a
jurisdiction call. Both departments
were on the scene in record time,
Chief J osling said, but there was
nothing anybody could have done to
save the house.
The Stevensons provided the Van
Beek family with shelter and
nourishment until they were able to
move into a friend’s vacant but
furnished home in Walton Friday
evening; they also spearheaded the
drive to get immediate aid for the
family.
Mrs. Stevenson alerted neigh
bours Ross Nichol and Carl McLenn
an, who moved six young pigs Mrs.
Van Beek was raising to the Nichol
farm for temporary safety, then took
the Van Beek family to the Salvation
Army in Wii.gham, which was able
to meet their immediate clothing
needs. In addition, a bank account
has been set up at the Canadian
Imperial Bank of Commerce in
Brussels for cash donations, and
CKNX radio and television organiz
ed a plea for further aid.
Since Friday, aid in the form of
clothing, bedding, food, money and
toys have been pouring in from
individuals and from businesses and
local service groups, and Mrs. Van
Beek says they are “pretty well
fixed’ ’ for the time being, except for
sheets, towels and small house
wares, such as cookware and cultery
for such a large family. In addition, a
Wroxeter-area disc jockey, Don
Holmes and his wife Cindy, have
offered their services free of charge
if and when the community organ
izes a benefit for the Van Beeks,
explaining that they have played at
several benefits, including the one
following afire in Gorrie last year
which left six families homeless.
Mrs. Van Beek says that they will
be able to stay at the Walton house
for several months, if necessary, but
says she has not had time yet to
decide what her next move will be.
Enquiries and further offers of aid
may be made by contacting Toby
Rainey atThe Citizen at 523-4792, or
at home at 887-9843; while cash
donations may be made to the Van
Beek family at the Brussels CIBC.
