Year Authorized vs second Glass nisi(,. Poet 0triese Dept„ Ottawa Snowdon pros., I' 1lisblers roger Andrews destroyed the three storey poultry barn of Ro- er Andrews, Mill road, Tuck-, ermith, 114 miles southwest ofEgniondville on Tuesday morning before 7 o'clock. The lire was discovered by Mr, Andrews when he was getting up and noticed a light shining in a south windowof the bedroom, which he at first thought was the light from a car on the sideroad. When he glanc- ed out he saw flames shooting out of the uper part of the barn. After turning in the alarm, MrAndrews rag to the barn to try to save two cats Whih had lived n the building but there was no sign of them and the whole barn was filled with smoke. The Fire appeared to be in the peak at the south side. Cause of the fire could not be determined. There was no heat or electric equipment of any kind in operation. Mr. Andrews hadbeen in the bard at 10 o'clock Monday night. Everything was in readiness to bring in 6,000 baby chicks on Thursday from Scott Poltry Farms, with another 5,500 to arrive next Monday, The barn, 20x56 feet, was converted from a bank barn some years ago to a 3 -storey poultry barn with a caacity of 10,500 chicks. Recently improvements had been eomplet- ed Including fibre glass insula- tion. I had just got everything fitt- ed up the way I wanted it," Mr. Andrews said. Cost of imrove- ments to the building was 210;000. There were 15 electric stoves ready for use but none were in operation, About a ton of baby chick starter was saved from the lower part of the barn. It would have been up on the main floor, Mr. Andrews said, but fortunately the snow had been too deep last week to go around to the gangway at the back. Five brooders were saved, a ventilat. ing fan and other small pieces of equipment. As the house is not far from the barn the fire brigade stood by in case of danger, but there was no wind and flames went straight up. Two small colony houses near the born were not burned. An old cistern between the house and barn would have rovided water for the pumper but was not need- ed, The fire dilocatd the farmwater' supply, however, and ortTuesday morning Mr, Andrews and two helpers had to dig down to the water line running to the burned building and cloe it off before water could be pumped to the house and pole barn. "I had no idea there were so many rats in that barn," Mr. And- rews remarked. They ran out in all directions," The two farmdogs had a busy tune and killed upwards of 200 fleeing rats. Asked about plans for rebuild- ing, he said he would rebuild as soon as possible, with 450 cus- tomers depending on him for their started chicks. The new building will probably be of the quonset curved roof type. Mr. Andrews' other barn is of the pole barn type in which he has 10,000 birds. It is north of the house and was safely away from the fire. Mr. Andrews has owned the farmfor the past 12 years, it be- ing the former Bick and later McMillan farm, TO VOTE IN McKILLOPFOfl a..nsema REEVE AND 'COUNCIL There will be a vote in McKil- lop township next Monday for reeve and council. For Reeve the following have qualified: Dan Beuermann, Jerry Doerr, Herbert Williamson. For Coutteil six have qualified: Allan Campbell, Arnold Campbell, " illiam Dennis, Ralph McNichol, William A. Ryan, Kenneth Stew- art, The following are those nom- inated on Monday afternoon, with mover and seconders William A, Ryan, by berg Kel- ly and John Flannery. Jerry Doerr, by Chas. Dietz and Mervin Dietz, Allan Campbell, by Lloyd Mc- Cluskie and Ross Driscoll- Ralph McNichol, by Percy Dal. ton and Jack Bosnian, Kenneth Stewart, by John L. Malone and J, R, Leeming, Arnold Campbell, by John E. Henderson and Samuel McClure. William Dennis, by W. Earl Mills and Leonard Leeming, Sam McClure, by Orville Storey and Arnold Campbell. Nominations for Reeve: Dan Beuermann, by William L. ,; yd and Allan Campbell, Sam McClure, by Carl Dalton and Alex. Smith. Jerry Doerr, by Everitt Beuer- mann and Clarence Regele. Herbert Williamson, by Harvey Craig and W, J. Leeming, "I am still available," Reeve Dan Beuermann told the McKII- lop township ratepayers on Mon- day afternoon. "I have the exper- ience and the time. I have served you for thirteen years and am ready to go again, I will do what I have in the past or better," he said, thanking the ratepayers for the honor accorded him in past years. Township Clerk John M. Eck- ert presided over the nomination and was named chairman for the ratepayers meeting after the close of nominations. Reeve Beuermann said two new bridges were planned to be built on township roads in 1961, one on the 6th con. between lots 15-16 and the other on the Sth eon, at lots 20-21. He reviewed county council affairs and revealed that a reduction of mileage on the county road system is corning up next year which might affect the east -west county road in MoKil lop. The present mileage of coun- ty roads totals 390 miles and is said to be too much for the coun- ty to maintain. There is talk about turning back 80 miles to the townships. Nobody knows yet what roads will be dropped. The county engineer had told hila that roads leading to a provincial highway would be given the pre- ference for new work. County roads must be regarded as serv- ing the county as a whole and not just local traffic. He read the county clerk's re- port which said that careful con- sideration must he given to whe ther extension of county services can be afforded without affecting the existing county program. New provincial grants lot county libraries have been made available but no decision has been reached in TIuron. A request from Dublin continuation school for service of the Huron county travelling library, he felt sure would be provided next year. Thirty percent of the Dublin pu- pils come from Huron, the re quest had stated. He read from the report of the County Health Unit telling of a change in the Act for sanitary in- spection, which abolishes teepee - Mon by the health unit and puts it at the municipal level. The Health Unit suggested that mun- icipalities might appoint the Health Unit inspector's jointly as municipal inspectors. However this would have to be passed by each individual municipality and there night be two or three mu- nicipalities which would not en- ter into the arrangement. Sam McClure, nominated for Reeve, said he would do the best he could if he stayed in the field, Jerry Doerr, nominated for Reeve, said he had served on the council for nine years and it was either up or out, it was up to the people. If elected he would do his part, IIe did not want to nag Dan, but he has had his turn, 1I 81,s. 'take a trimming" he said, "I have done it before, Herbert Williamson, nominated for Reeve, said he had been on council for five years, The rate- payers would recall that he had brought out that the roads Wero not in good condition, and while they are improved he still is not satisfied. Ile was willing to step up or out and give somebody else a chance to improve things. He intended to stand regardless how many were in the field. William A. Ryan, nominated for council said it was an honor to have served for the past three years and he asked to be re- elected. He said last year the council had promised to hold the line at 12 mills but had clone bet- ter than that, having brought the rate down to ten mills by skimp- ing a bit on gravel and. chloride, and he thought they should 110 able to got 11 down some more, However the high school rate is going up and "doWn in our cors ner the rate is up 8 mills," He suggested that council should consider a tax prepayment p au, Allan Campbell said he wee go- ing to roti for council. He had heard so often at these meetings) "I don't know" and then the next night some luckless guy is the one who "caused an election." Council had done a good job but he thought there could be some improvements, He knew Prom experience on the telephone board that ninny factors enter into it, He was not sure whether his position as telephone commis stoner would disqualify him from running for council, so just to make certain he then and there handed in his resignation as com- missioner to Mt', Eckert, Ralph McNichol said he intend- ed to run. There were quite a few in the field and they might as well make a good job of it, • Kenneth Stewart said he would qualify and if elected would try and see that every ratepayer got full value for every dollar of his tax money. He felt council had done a good job, Arnold Campbell said he would definitely run for council, A rep- resentative was needed around his neighborhood and there were a few things. needed a change, If elected he might have more to say next year. William Dennis said when a man is elected to council he must be prepared to devote the time to do justice to the work. Jerry Doerr, called on to speak for his nomination to council, said he definitely would not run for council. He said it appeared that the county road east and west night be thrown back on our hands, The road had got its first real gravelling in 26 years this summer. The county plow had been doing a good job to date but give it two or three more weeks of snow and they will pull the plows off for other parts and skip us for two or three days. We Pay 13 mills county rate and 10 mills township rate. The west end of the county gets everything and he thought McKillop should be getting more consideration from the county, It night be bad business to have this road turned back to us because it would be another 10 or 12 utiles for the township to maintain. However he was certain if It did, we would have a better road for the town- ship roads have been in better shape than this stretch of county road. Township Clerk Eckert said this piece of road had been taken over by the county while he was reeve. When he had got this road put on the county, he figured that Goderich township had all the main roads up in the "V" and he had felt to equalize the tax money we were paying into the county we should get some back. The county had over 400 miles of road then. Road business had more than doubled in the last three years. Reeve Beuermann said it was not certain that this road would be thrown back on McKil- lop, in fact he felt sure it would not. Mr. Eckert said McKillop ratepayers were not getting back anything from the county for 25 years. In reply to a question Mr. Ben- eruiann said it was not known when the Seaforth to Brussels road would become a develop- ment road, but he expected it would be. Sant •1McClure said he had giv- en his word to one of the candi- dates he would' 1101 stand for council and definitely would not stand. He was not satisfied with the drainage loan set up. Later he explained about his stand on council in regard to snowplowing. "I supported the man I felt was best for the job, regardless of re- lationship," he said. Mr, Eckert said the high school rate was up 1 mills this year to pay higher salaries. Next year the school addition will send it up another two mills. He could not see how the township rate could be lowered next year, but it might. The grader was paid for now and the roads had a surplus this year which might help out, The OWRC has taken away from the county health unit the sani- tary inspection. Under the new law every municipality must ap- point an inspector. You can't do your own work, you must have a plumber, he said. The health unit wants to have their inspectors appointed, but each municipality will have to pass their own by- law. Mr, Earl Mills asked wily Mc- Killop is the only municipality in Huron that does not have an ear- ly election, Mr. Eckert said it was a good question. McKillop was one of the first in Huron to change to an early election date in :1920.30 while he was reeve, The turn out was the poorest its years, so we went hack to the end of the year. You can give a better financial report at the end of the year, he said. Those run- ning for warden like early elec- tione hitt he thottglit it did not affect their chances. On a stand- ing vote the ratepayers showed favor to retaining the present no- mination de 10. Gordon. McGavin, called union for a repot on high school mat- ters, said this meeting was run- ning to form. You fellows get up and tell a fanny story , and sit down, then call on ane as n cattle School Section To Carry On The trustees and ratepayers of Union School Section No. 1, east of Seaforth, decided at the annual meeting held on Wednesday to carry on, John Oldfield was el- ected trustee, Other members of the board are Les McKenzie and Dale Nixon. Warden Haney is secretary treasurer, Nine children from the section are attending Seaforth public school. Most of these have priv- ate transportation and the board on Wednesday was arranging for bus service for one family, The school house on the high- way east of Seaforth bas not been used for 25 years. Pupils go mostly to the Seaforth school, The board still receives legisla- tive grants and levies rates, Up until a year ago it also received a general grant of 2600 from the townships, Meet Applicants On Jan. 5th The new Liquor Control Board store on North Main street is nearly ready. The last of the bine and counters will be in plane by Saturday and then tile finish can be put in the front part to com- plete the building. An interview with applicants for positions on the staff will be held here on Jan, 6th, It is under- stood two men will operate the store. Present plans are to open the store in Zurich on the same day as the store in Seaforth is open- ed. This will be about the middle of January. MRS. BERTHA SULLIVAN Mrs, Bertha Sullivan, wife of the lata Win. Sullivan, passed away in Toronto on Sat, Dec. 17 after a long illness. She was the former Bertha Dayman of Kip - pen, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Peter Dayman and a sister of the late Mrs. Duncan McCowan of McKillop township. Surviving is a brother, Joseph Dayman 0f Fort Erie and several nephews end nieces. The funeral was held on Tuesday, Dec, 20111 from the McDougall & Brown funeral chap- el, Danforth avenue. Interment was h1 Park Lawn cemetery, Pall- bearers were nephews, Peter Mc- Cowan, Seaforth; Duncan and Alan Nimmo, Toronto, and fam- ily friends from Toronto. oudage. The snowplow has never gone down our line ahead of the school bus, not once this year (nor last year either, a voice said from the audience). Why can't a relief system be arranged like the school buses do. If there was a fire on our line the fire track could not get down to it, he said, Mr. McGavin next went after the county health unit. For five years they never found an odor in the high school lunch room, but last year after plans had been made for the addition, they sud- denly condemned the lunch room because "there was an odor," It took them five years to find that odor. If the health unit were in Europe they would be really busy, he said, recalling that in Paris on the main streets the smell is bad. Ilere a farmer can't build his own back house without an inspector•. From what I saw in Europe we have the highest stan- dard of living, he said. He be- lieved we could get more use out of our school buildings, as in Russia they run the' schools 10 hours a day, and by a system of grouping classes one teacher eau equal work of l+,-; teachers here. He criticised tearing down build- ings. When a building here is 20 years old we tear it down and build a new one. Over in Europe they use their buildings for cen- turies. IIe predicted that the or- iginal portion of Seaforth high school would last as lotg•or long- er than the new buildings if we let 1t stand. He said by using our old building we have kept our tax rate lower than Wingham and Clinton, NIr. McGavinpraised the good work of high school board chair - :nail Frank Sills. On the board we don't ]cave too Bruch to say about a new building. The inspec- tors, architects, municipal board, department of education, all have their say. 7-I0 said the health unit had approved this lagoon for sew- age disposal back of the high school, but you farmers are not allowed to run a tile into. your field and let the sun and wind at it. It had cost the high school 04,000 to dig a hole and build a fence for the lagoon. hti'. McGrorill hall a parting shot at inspectors: "There are ton in- spectors come regularly into 107 shop, One inspects my air cm - pressor tank, another this and another that. One day one of of these inspectors didn't like my housekeeping, which I admit is pretty bed sometimes. I told hint to close me alp and I would get a job as an inspector, They al- ways say if you are a failure its yew' own bnlsieess you can al- weys get. a job as an inspector.,, Mr, Eckert told the ratepayers that tax collections are 2 per cent better than last year, Sewer Tile Firm To Increase Capacity Mr. Peter Christensen arrived in Denmark Wednesday morning to buy machinery to further ex- pand the plant of Seaforth Sewer Tile Ltd. next spring. They will be able to increase from the pres- ent 3y_ foot size to a 6 to 8 foot range. This is Mr. Christensen's third business trip to Denmark to pur- chase machinery for the firm.
