Barn Destroyed - Fire, which broke out about 8:30 p.m. Sunday evening on the farm of Jim Martin, of R.R. 3 Goderich, completely destroyed the 60 by 80 foot frame' barn on the premises. Also lost in the blaze was Martin's entire stock of swine including 26 sows, one boar, 30 weiner pigs, and five market; weight hogs. A number of implements stored upstairs were also des. troyed by the fire. A new plow, a transport auger and a seed drill were among the most valuable implements lost. About P000 bushels of grain and 400 bales Of hay were also destroyed. Mrs. Henrietta Martin, Mr. Martin's mother, who resides in a house situated nearby, was first to notice the blaze. She said it appeared to have started in the northwest corner of the barn, near the gangway. The Lucknow Fire Depart• ment which . answered the alarm, was hindered by the icy road conditions which prevailed Sunday 'night. However, the easterly- wind of Sunday night helpedyprevent the flames from spreading to Mrs. Martin's residence, ap. proximately 100 feet east of the barn. The loss was partially covered by insurance. Charles Krouse, • 59 Newgate Street, Goderich, sights down the barrel of the 32. -inch gun he uses for trap ,shooting. The 91 -year-old, still an .active hunter and trapshooter, was a special guest at the recent meeting of the Huron County Trappers' . Association, held in the old Holmes. ville school. (Staff Photo)' • onegenarian Still Enjoys Lifelong H�bby:OfShooting At 91, Charles Prouse still actively pursues his lifelong hobbies of shooting and hunting. The retired farmer, who liv. ed for many years near Tay- lor's aylor's Corners, in Goderich Township, has been interested in firearms since his child- hood, when he used to play with his father's guns. Four decades and "an awful lot of foxes" later, he stiff en. joys a day in the bush track- ing rabbits and racoons, al. though he has concentrated his shooting skills on trapshooting since he was 72 years of age.

The event ..reached many years back into Charlie's his- tory, to the days when he first entered Holm9sville as a stu- dent at the age of five. Love of guns and hunting is a characteristic which . Charle characteristic which Charlie Prouse inherited from his father • and grandfather, and which he .in turn passed on to his own family.- ° Three years ago, Mr. Prouse competed in a trap -shooting event in St. Thomas, in which he turned in an impressive re.. cord of 91 traps out of 100. His son, Hedley, shot 96 traps in the same meet. It is too early to tell wheth. er the family sport will be passed on to another generation since Charlie's great' grand. children are still too young to shoulder arms. Mr. Prouse looks back on many experiences from his life in the hunt, but the most excite ing one about which he likes to rem'nisce is the time he fell clown a high bank while he was pursuing a' fox, rolled end over end and came to rest against a tree at the bottom, uninjured, but with a broken gun. Going out to the same site the next m Drning on his father's advice, young Charles found•the fox he had been after,. dead 'of fright and the first not -so -wild shot. Mrs. Prouse, who lives with her husband at 59 Newgate • Street, gives no indidation of whether or not she shares Charlie's penchant for shooting but she certainly shares his pride in the number of shooting awuxds which decorate their home.
