Paul Fischer, a native of Walkerton, has accepted a call to serve as minister of St. Peter's Lutheran Church in Zurich, He will be moving here in June. Born and raised in Walkerton, Rev. Fischer has been serving as pastor of a combined number of churches in Nova Scotia for the past three years. At the east coast congregations he conducted seven services every two weeks, one Sunday four, and the next three. After attending high school in Walkerton, Rev, Fischer enrolled in Waterloo College, and the Wat- erloo Seminary, from where he graduated in 1956. The same year he took up his charge in Nova Scotia. In 1955 he was married to Mar- garet Mosig, a daughter of Rev. and Mrs. H. Mosig, formerly of New Hamburg. They have two sons, Joel and Stephen. Rev. Fischer will probably be one of the youngest ministers to ever serve a congregation in Zur- ich. His father, Rev. E. J. Fis- cher, is at present the pastor of the Lutheran Church in Brodhag- en, near Mitchell. Fire Causes Loss of Nearly 1,000 Chicks Amos 'Gingerich Fire At Blake Close to 1,000 seven -week old chicks were lost in a fire which, caused considerable damage at the chicken barn of Amos Gingerich, at Blake, early Saturday morning. The fire was first noticed by Mr. Gingerich at 6.30 a.m., when he went to feed the chicks. The Zurich Fire Brigade was called to the scene, but when they arrived the worst of the blaze had been extinguished by Mrs. Ginger- ich and neighbours, a large hole was burnt in the floor under the brooder stove, where it is believ- ed the fire started. Damage was also done to the wall nearest the stove, where flames had gotten a good start when the proprietor ar- rived. "When I opened the door to go and feed the chicks I was almost overcome with smoke," said Mr. Gingerich, "most of the chicks were already dead then." Water to extinguish the fire was taken from a pipe which supplied drink- ing water for the chicks. A few of the birds survived the ordeal. The building, which is an old home converted into a chicken house, is made of brick and frame construction. The loss is partially covered by insurance.
