The farm is owned by Elgaard Gre- gersen, who was in'partnership with Fergus Stapleton of Dublin, on the !broilers. Loss is estimated at over 340,000 partly covered by insurance amounting to $32,_ 000. The .broilers would have been shipped this 'Monday. Cause of the fire is unknown. Messrs Gregerson and 'Stapleton had been working in the barn until 5 o'clock. When Ferg left for home, Elgaard went to fix a front fence. Half an hour lat- er he saw emnoke pouring from the barn and when he tried to enter the stable through the root cellar door under the gang- way, was forced back by roar- ing frames. The panel 'box for electric .fuses and switches was near this door, and the fire seemed to have started in that area. Mr. Gregersen said the time switch 'would -have turned on the lights for :the evening at albout that time. The time switch kept 'the lights on till 7.0.30 at night and from 4 a.m. till day- light. No other electrical 'apparatus was operating. 'Propane gas for 33 'brooders had not been used for ten weeks when the chicks were small. A cow and calf in the stable were saved. The large 36' x 92' barn with 40' x 45' straw shed formed an L, and had 'been converted into a 5 -deck 'broiler house early this year, with up-to-date equipment including an augur -elevator for carrying feed to the top floor. Only one lot of broilers had been marketed, the second lot being ready to go in three days, The broilers were mostly sold to Canada Packers Ltd, Mr. Gregersen on Friday said he had not decided about re- building. A native of Denmark he worked for Morley Lannin, Hibbert, for several years and four years ago purchased this farm. .Seaforth fire brigade made a quick run but the fire had gain- ed too much headway, Use Power Shovel To Wreck Buildings Seaforth Lumber Ltd. is -mov- ing this week to their new 30 x 60' building on rRailway Street.

STUBBORN AS A PIG One characteristic remains the same in pigs in spite of the many improvements that have been made in the modern pork- er. The experts have never suc- ceeded in •breeding out his stub- bornness. At the fire last week in Hib- bert township, the owner, El- gaard Gregersen said he had tried without any success to get three pigs out of a pen in the root cellar under the gang- way. In •disgust he gave up and thought to himself they could jolly well stay and burn, but he was getting out. After the 'barn was burned to the ground the pigs walked out of the open door of the root cel- lar unharmed. DUBLIN DUBLIN(By C, MoHIGH SCHylanOOL) NEWS Last Thursday looked pretty grim for the grade niners with ercises the beginning of initiation ex- , The boys appeared very smart in short pants with nylons to the knees and shirts on back- wards to set off the outfit. With smoothly gloved hands they .ear- ried ladies' handbags and bas- kets for eheir who had forgotten something g s were brightened up with a touch of lipstick in varying shades. The girls also looked "tree joli," wearing men's work socks and combination overalls with a pretty blouse underneath. Four pigtails tied with string, elastic and bits of ribbons made up very striking hair -dos. Minus makeup they wore straw hats and like the boys carried baskets. If they quaked at this they turned pale at the sight of a noose hanging in their doorway, but there was still a more gruel- ing test to be passed before nye could accept them as initiated. They were lined up for a race across the hall evith a small piece of coal at their feet. On all fours they propelled the piece of coal across the floor with their noses. Danny Benninger won for the 'boys and Angola Duchene for the girls, but sorry to say we had no prizes to offer. The afternoon ended on a brighter note with a dance after which a good lunch was enjoyed. The seniors appreciate and are proud of the good sports in grade 9.
