Dear Sir,
Thank you for your • nice letter •
and for so very kindly sending me a
complete copy of your newspaper.
It gave me a great thrill to see my
photograph there on the front page
and I feel now as though I have
actually met you and your readers.
Your photographic, reproduction
equipment must be very good to
print such sharp clear copy. Thank
you, too, for publishing my second
letter which, like the first one, has
brought in another avalanche of
letters in reply. Again, through
you, may I say I will respond to
everyone in turn?
Yoti will be pleased, I think, to
learn that my search for relatives
for some of your subscribers has
been very fruitful indeed. I. refer

The anniiil Retnembrance -Day
Banquet of the Lucknow Branch
309 'of 'the Royal Canadiin Legion
was held it the Legion Hall on
Saturday, November 8th.
A barn on the farm of Glen Boyd,
located on the 6th concession of
Huron Township, east of Highway
21, was completely destroyed by
fire about 8.30 p.m. on Friday night
of last week.
Lost in the fire were about 250
hogs. The lower part of the barn
was set up for the hog enterprise -'
with required stabling and a barn
cleaner which was partially lost in
the fire. Also destroyed was 5000 '
bales of hay and 2506 bales of straw
as 'well as a baler and thrower.
Glen and his wife Ann had left
for Elinwood a very few minutes
before the fire had broken out.
Boyd's Orchestra had an engage-
ment there that evening. Their
14-year-old daughter Heather was
at home when the outbreak
occurred.
Prior to leaving for Elmwood,
Glen had been talking with a
neighbour Murray Hunter. Shortly
after Glen's departure, Murray
noticed the hydro power had gone
off at the Boyd farm, and upon
investigation, noticed fire , burning
in the upper part of the barn as he
drove up the lane. Ripley-Huron
Fire Department was summoned'
and word was sent to Elmwood to
notify Glen and Ann who returned
home at once.
While exact cause of the fire is
net known; the hydro failure, and

the location of the outbreak, point
to possible wiring problems.
The Boyd family reside on the
farm formerly occupied by Glen's
dad and the barn on this farm is the
one which burned. Glen has
another dairy barn on the farm next
door, where he originally lived
following his marriage. The house
on this farm is rented.
Strong winds that night were
blowing to the north, away from the
house and outbuildings,. a fact
which probably saved further loss.
Firemen were on the scene to
about 1.30 a.m.
