TWO ESCAPE AS
FIRE DESTROYS
BRUCEFIELD HOME
(By our Brucefield correspondent)
Fire, believed to have been
caused by overheated pipes com-
pletely destroyed the one -and -
half storey home occupied by
Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Turvey about
e 4 a.m. Tuesday.
Mrs. Turvey and son Wayne
were alone at the time and
escaped. The house was burned
to the ground along with all the
contents, nothing being saved.
Mrs. Turvey teaches school at
S.S. No. 3, Tuckersmith, coming
here at Christmas time. The com-
munity is rallying to their aid.
The house had no telephone.
The family automobile, parked
beside the house, refused to
start, and Mrs. Turvey ran to a
neighbor's for assistance.
When Brucefield Fire Brigade
arrived, the fire had gained such
headway it was impossible to
save the building which was a
total loss, with only a baby buggy
salvaged. Mr. "Turvey works in
Exeter. o

Home Mission Work
Rev. George Dorey, D.D., To-
ronto, secretary of the Board of
Home Missions, was present, and
spoke about the Horne Mission
work, and the ,present carnpeign
in connection with ministerial
salaries.. Huron had his admira-
tion because for years there had
been no charge in the whole
Presbytery that received aid from
the Horne Mission Board. He
stated, that there were encourag-
ing reports of increased salaries
from various parts of the United
Church, It is the earnest hope
of the National Committee that
none of the charge will be be-
low $2,100 in 1949, $2,200 in 1950
and. $2,400 in 1951, he said.
Ministers' Salaries
Robert Watson, Brucefield, who
hes been chosen to head up the
special campaign for the increase
in ministers' salaries in Huron
Presbytery,' obtained necessary
information from the, brethren
for his campaign.

To celebrate the 75th anniver-
sary of the incorporation of Cline
ton as a town, it is proposed to
hold a huge Old Home Week in
1950.
In its 1949 standing committees;
Clinton and District Chamber of
Commerce has included one for
this purpose, with ex -Mayor. A,
J. McMu+gray, who headed the Old
Home Week back in 1925; as
chairman, the other members 'be-
ing Harry Bartliff, G. M. Count-
er, J. A. Sutter, William J.
Mutch, George B. Beattie and
Hugh R. Hawkins.
The matter was one of those
brought up and discussed at the
February meeting of the Cham-
ber of Commerce in the Town
Council Chamber Thursday even-
ing last. After A. J. McMurray
had given a . report of his com-
mittee meeting recommending
that a decision be made soon, a
resolution was adopted that the
Chamber investigate tire matter
further and approach Town Coun-
cil to call a public. meeting. An
announcement is published on
Page Ten of this issue.
Enthusiastic Meeting
The meeting was very enthus-
iastic with a good percentage of
the 100 members in attendance.
Past President G. Ralph Foster
introduced the new president,
'W. Norman Counter. The latter
thanked the members for the
honour reposed in him, and said
he was very happy to be presi-
dent of such a fine organization,
and would try to, merit the con-
fidence placed in him. He com-
mented that the standing com-
mittees had been increased from
seven to 12. He stated that reg-
ular meetings would be held the
second Thursday, evening of each
month, the same as in 1940, and
