HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Clinton News Record, 1943-10-14, Page 5: HURS,, OCT. 14, 1943 As Chairman of Harlin County War Finance, Committee I send out' cordial greetings to every Citizen. The raising of this 5th victory Loan is thebiggest task to which the people of Huron ever .set ther hands. It will 'be one factor in our finale success if we begin with a full realization of the vast -and difficult responsibility to which we are commit4 ted and match this challenge with the earnestness; and determination that is the very stuff of Victory': There isgood news that our armed forces; are moving forward and that news should lift our , spirits to ahi h level of eagerness ond enthusiasm: But there is no news that the war is just about over, and that we may relax our efforts. The prospect is not of a wartapering off to 'a quick and easy) finish, but of a war rising to an increasing crescendo of stubborn fighting., Something tugs at. our hearts as we think of. our boys caught in this fury of battle. What can. we do for them? The best thing we can do for them is to give them the weapons, an abundance of weapons—or rather the best thing we can do for them is to buy Victory Bonds—for with our Vic- tory Bonds the weapons will be provided. For the sake of all our Huron County boys over there — To speed the Victory— Out of Huron County's great prosperity— As your answer to the call of duty As an act of Thanksgiving— BUY VICTORY BONDS! Yours faithfully, W. A. BEECROFT, Chairman. Huron CountyWar Finance Committee. AUBURN Miss Zeta Munro of . Sarnia spent the week end with her parents Mr. and Mrs. It. D.

Large -Supply Barn Destroyed by Fire At noon hour on' Monday fire of unknown origin completely destroyed the supply barn 40 by 50 feet belong- ing to the Huron County Road Com- mission and located on Main Street, beside the County sheds. Leslie Bu- chanan's blacksmith shop. situated on the west side of the•barnwas partially, damaged, one side of the roof being burned off and inside damaged by water. For a while it was feared that Nelson Mouiden's home also Jas. Webster's house would fall a prey to the flames, and only the prompt and speedy work by a bucket brigade and the local hand puns fire engine saved these buildings. Barns on, these lots weresaved av d m a similar way. During the. height of the fire the roof on the home of Miss Mae Ferguson two plocks away caught fir and proved very menacing before being extin- guished. Blazing shingles were car- ried se11ie distance and resident feared lest they should light on dry property as was the case at the Ferguson home. • The supply barn at one time was a livery stable operated by the "Au- burn House."' Most of the contents were destroyer) although a recent make of Willys car belonging to 01- iver Lawson was removed. Among the. contents' was five ton of coal and two truck tires. Tools in the ,black- smith shop were removed, but no in- surance was carried on the shop an, buildings of that nature are not al-. Lowed to carry insurance. During the fire a cattle beast be- longing to William Moss was being trucked through the village becoming frenzied and jumped over the side. of the trucic and made a mad dash away. Blyth firemen responded to a call and their services proved exceedingly helpful. This is the first fire in seven years and at that time Norman Ham- ilton's house was razed to the ground.

HOLDS CLAIMS IN MOOSE RIVER BASIN, JAMES BAY AREA in the heart of the most active development in the area The Moose River Basin has long been regarded by Government and other expert geological opinion as being structurally favorable for oil accumulation. R. E. Holliday, B. A., B. Sc„ after a recent visit to the area reports: During a recent visit to this area, I carefully examined your Hobson Township property and adjaeent claims. I am glad to report that geological, climatic 'and locational conditions are all conducive to successful operation, whilst a diamond drill pro- gram recently completed indicates a tonnage of oil shale in the area in such vast quantities as to provide an almost inexhaustible source of petroletmi by-products. Whilst examining the western bank of the Abitibi River, at a spot very close to the boundary of your most westerly claim on the eastern bank of the Abitibi River, and in the company of yoiu engineer, Mr. Louis Whitman, I observed oil seeping from six different places approximately ten feet above the then water level of the river. THESE SEEPAGES WERE EMPHATICALLY PETROLEUM and not of a ferric or ferrous origin, I recommend that your Company follow closely the results of the well boring and diamond drilling operations under way on adjacent and surrounding territory.
