Barns, Milk House
Destroyed by Fire
GORRIE-A large bank barn
and a pole barn owned by Ro-
bert Hastie of R. R. 1, Gorrie,
were destroyed by fire on Wed-
nesday night of last week. The
farm is located a half mile
west of the village on Highway
86.
Mr. Hastie and Sterling Fin-
lay, an electrician, had left
the building only a few minutes
before Mr. Hastie noticed
flames from the house. They
had been checking the circuits.
The barn had been struck by
lightning a few weeks ago
while Mr. and Mrs. Hastie
were on a trip to the west
coast. No fire resulted at the
time but he believes the wiring
may have been affected.
The 30 cows had just been
milked and turned out to pas-
ture a short while before. There
was no stack in either the 60 by
40 foot pole barn nor in the 60
by 56 bank barn where 8, 500
bales of hay were stored along
with the season's grain and
straw. A new power take -off
manure spreader was also burn-
ed.
Attached to the Karn was a
milk house which contained a
milk cooler. The milk house
and equipment were destroyed.
Sparks carried by the wind
ignited a large driving shed
between the barn and the
house but firemen from Wing -
ham and Blyth were able to ex-
tinguish the fire.
