(News -Record photo) Pigs lost in Londesboro fire By Chris Zdeb Over 100 pigs including 25 breeding stock, were killed in a fire which gutted the inside of a barn owned by Bruce Shillinglaw of R.R. 1 Lon- desboro. The Tuesday morning fire resulted in $15,000 damage to the barn, and a total loss of about $22,100, Mr. Shillinglaw said. The Fire Marshal will be investigating the cause of the fire, but Mr. Shillinglaw said it was probably caused by the electrical equipment, because the fire started near the barn's main power control boxes. Neighbours passing by on their way to work noticed that the barn was on fire. "It had been smouldering for some time and was just starting to burn whenthe neighbours saw it," Mr. Shillinglaw said. Captain Jim Howson of the Blyth Fire Department Singles dance big By Chris Zdeb It had been over 20 years since some of the men had gone to a dance, bat everyone kicked up his heels at the Country Singles Dance held last Saturday night in Clinton. The first singles' dance was a huge success according to organizer Vicki Horbanuik, and plans are already underway for another to be held on March 22. The Clinton Legion, which holds approximately 180 people, was packed for the event and 30 to 40 people had to be turned away . at the door, Mrs. Horbanuik said. The dance was advertised in 10 newspapers three weeks in advance, and drew people from Exeter, Lucan, London, and as far away as Welland and Detroit, she said. "It was something new and we didn't know what kind of turnout to expect," Mrs. Horbanuik said. "We were kind of shocked at the response we got, it was like a big house party." The dance ran from 9:30 to 1 and people began arriving at the Legion as early as 8:15. There was a mixture of bachelors, widows, widowers, divorcees and young men and women who have never been married, Mrs. Horbanuik said, and they ranged,_from all ages. Mrs. Horbanuik and a friend Mrs. Betty Cardno of Seaforth began planning the dance after Few have bought. 1975 licence stickers BY CHRIS ZDEB Tomorrow midnight, February 28, is the deadline on purchasing 1975 car licence renewals, and approximately 1,000 Clintonians or six out of ten had yet to pick up""their plates as of Tuesday, February 25. Mrs. Lloyd Butler of the Clinton Licence bureau said that people were"' slower to pick up') their plates this year, but that it was usual for only 40 percent of the people to have bought them three days before the deadline. The licence plate stickers cost $23 for 4 cylinder, $32 for 6 cylinder, and $40 for 8 cylinder vehicles. People who are found driv• g with 1974 licence plates will fined $20 and will have to pay $3 in court costs, Clinton Police Chief, Lloyd Westlake said. Only two or three people were fined last year. "A large number of people rush in to buy their plates., on the very last day," Chief Westlake said. The licence bureau will be open till 5:30 on Friday, and from 10 till 4 on Saturday, Mrs. Butler said.

Mr. Shillinglaw praised firemen for the handling of the fire. "They did an excellent job. They saved the surrounding buildings and any equipment in the barn that could be salvaged." ' The barn is still standing, but is a complete loss he said. success attending a singles dance in London. "We found it was poorly organized. You felt like you were at a singles dance - like you were on display," Mrs. Horbanuik said. The two widows decided it was ridiculous to travel 60 miles to a dance, and decided to stage their own. "We had four hostesses who made sure that no one remained sitting. They got the men dancing and introduced people to each other." "At the London dance, the men sat on the other side of the damn hall and waited for you to go over and ask them to dan- ce," Mrs. Horbanuik said. 'The True Tones' provided the music for the Clinton dance and the dance floor was never empty, she said. A $3 admission charge. in- cluded lunch, and the money made at the dance will just cover its expenses. Mrs. Horbanuik sees the Country Singles Dance as a monthly event and the organizers are looking for a larger hall for their next dance. Picnics, barbecues, and even singfes"bus trips are forseen in the future. "We'd just like to thank everyone whoshowed up at our dance, for making it the suc- cess it was," Mrs. Horbanuik said.
