The house, located on lot '32, Concession C, Turnberry Town- ship, was the home of Archie and• William Tfylor. Both men barely escaped being trappe . by the flames, but neither was injured. t Fire Chief Dave Crothersr said the cause of the fire, which totally destroyed the frame house is as yet unknown. So far there have been no damage estimates; .MISTLETOE : Thteword ' mistletoe comes from the Atiglo•Saxon Word for "bird droppings" and "twda". The . imaginary, by look at it, is fairly accurate. In spite of its rather drab word history, the Mistletoe was highly regarded by the ancient Druids and Celts as a bearer ' of health bringing po*ers. And it's this belief that is carried down to today in the roman. tic custom of kissing under the mistletoe.
