J. ARMSTRONG Although the deer shunt has been over for almost a month, many a hunter is probably still reliving the excitement of the past ,hunt. Success rates were not unusually high, but the fact that many more deer were seen than were shot is an indication, that from ii pure recreational point of view, this year's hunt was as good as former years. During,the three-day season in Grey County, excluding Keppel Township and the archery, season data, conservation' officers contacted 536 hunters who reported that they had h gaited for 799 days, saw 152 deer, shot at 90 and killed 29 for a hunter success rate of 5.41 percent. The hunt in Bruce County, excluding St. Edmunds, Lindsay, Eastnor, Albermarle and Amabel Fire loss set at x10,000 Loss of a barn and its contents at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Mel Dickson, Ashfield Township, on November 27 has now been set at $10,000. The barn was destroyed when fire 'broke out in the early morning hours while Mr. Dickson was refuellint a tractor: Mr. Dickson told the Signal -Star he had warmed the tractor up in the barn yard and after checking the fuel tank started to refuel the machine from a storage tank beside the barn. An explosion occurred and the fire started. Mr. Dickson said he ran into the . bard and brought out a second, larger tractor and managed to save that but by that time the fire had burned through the side of the barn and straw on the inside was on fire. The Ripley and Goderich Fire Departments were summoned but were unable to save the -barn or its contents. Lost were 800 bales of straw; 85 pigs including 55 chunks, eight sows and 20 weiner pigs. The tractor that started the fire was also lost and the 70 foot by 25- .foot frame building was destroyed. Mr. .-Dickson praised the efforts of the fire departments who managed to save the house which is close to'�he barn and also a new pig barn addition that was under construction on the west end of the barn. Mr. and Mrs. Dickson also had high praise for neighbors who came to help out during the fire and afterwards.
