SEAFORTH FIREMEN had a busy day Thursday with three alarms. Most, serious was the
first call, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, when fire completely destroyed a frame dwelling on a
farm owned by Wm. Sproat, on the 5th concession of Tuckersmith. The house, shown here, and
occupied by Mrs. Annie Arnold, was a total loss when water failed. According to Fire Chief
John Scott, loss was $5,000. While firemen were engaged at the Arnold fire, a second call came
from the home of Reeve James Doig, 11/4 miles south of the first fire. The town truck was
used at the latter fire while the rural truck was being used at the first fire. A chimney fire
at the Doig home was brought under control with negligible damage. That evening :a third alarm
called firemen to the boiler shop at Robert Bell Industries. A small fire in an outside parti-
tion was quickly extinguished. (Photo by Phillips)

Discussion by Distriet Farm Forums
CROMARTY FARM FORUM
Cromarty Farm Forum met
Monday evening with the largest
attendance this season- Follow-
ing are the comments expressed
by the members on the discussion
period: It was thought that town
and country people should get to-
gether more in order to under-
stand each better. We think our
agricultural fairs are a great help
in getting town and farm people
together. Our community Farm
Forum review night is another
way. We think more town people
should be asked to join the farm
forum discussion. If daylight sav-
ing time makes the town people
happier, farmers will go along
with them, although it is of no use
to the farmer. We also think
CKNX Radio Station, Wingham, is
doing a very good job with having
the interviews with the different
agricultural representatives, field
mnen, etc.
Winners of euchre were: ladies'
high, Mrs. Bert Riley; low, Mrs.
T. Laing; gents' high, John Hog-
garth; low, Filmer Chapple; lone
hands, Filmer Chapple.
McKJLLOP FARM FORUM -.
S -S. No. 2, McKillop, Farm For-
um met this week at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Ellwood Clarke,
with an attendance of 24. Subject
tinder discussion was "Public Re-
lations." The radio broadcast
stressed the fact that not enough
information concerning the Fed-
eration was getting back to the
individual farmer, although the
Rural Co-operator does carry a
good deal of the activities of the
Federation, and - can be read by
any who so desire.
Hensall Wins
Midget Opener
Hensall Midgets clipped Monkton
Lions 6-4 in the first game of best
of three O.M.H.A. semi-finals play-
ed in the Mitchell arena on Thurs-
day night. The Hensall team car-
ried the balance of the play and
it was only the fine defensive work
eof McEwan and Reidy that kept
the score as low as, it was.
Baynham was thbig gun for
the Hensall boys as he picked up
three goals and one assist.
The fine goaltending of Hensall
wine tender McLaren kept the
pressing Lions at bay during the
Oast period.
It was a fast clean game, trot
was witnessed by only a handful
of fans.
Concerning our own groups, we
say: first, be sure that we are
well informed ourselves before we
attempt' to present our problems
to others, then thorough discussion
by farmers and urban people alike
on all matters on which both may
derive benefit; also continue re-
porting the activities of our farm
forums in' the local paper and on
the radio. Three of the groups
say that we should give the Fed-
eration more support, while two
groups say the Federation has not
given value for money spent to
date. Regarding the change in
broadcast time, we are in favor of
having the farm broadcast during
the Hoon hour, which is more con-
venient to farmers.
Progressive euchre results were:
ladies, Mrs. Stewart Dolmage,
Eileen Dolmage, Elsie Storey;
men, Wayne Dolmage, Sam Mc-
Clure, Robert McMillan.
The next meeting will be at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Storey
and will feature "Farm Marketing
Abroad."
PARR LINE FORUM
The Parr Line Farm Forum was
held at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Robinson with 25 mem-
bers present. A discussion was
held on the topic, "A Public Re-
lations Program."
It was agreed by most members
that if we are to have better rela-
tions with urban groups, we, the
farmers, should be well informed
first of all, then a public relations
delegate should be sent from ev-
ery farm organization to meet
with the various urban groups.
This Forum feels that there is a
better understanding between the
farmer and his local village or
town due to the closer contact be-
tween both groups. But the same
was not true for the larger cities,
where much could be done to en-
lighten and improve misunder-
standing, especially in' relation to
the problems of the farmer.
In regards to getting a better
informed community through the
local weekly, we find that there is
excellent co-operation on the part
of the weekly press. Farm Forum
reports, Federation of Agriculture
reports and activities have been
well covered by the local press.
The local radio station bas shared
in publicity and service for many
farm organizations—much of the
time is free.
The Township of Hay collects
2/5 of a mill for Federation pur-
poses'. We think that it should
be • raised at least another 1/5 of
a Mill. This Would . provide the
extra motley needed for a public
relations program by the Federa-
tion of Agriculture.
Euchre winners were: ladies,
Miss Ruth Ann Jarrett; gents,
Gordon Love. Lunch was served
by the ladies.
The next meeting will be held
at the home of Wilfred Mousseau.
FIRESIDE FARM FORUM
Fireside Farm Forum- met at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Mansel
Cook, Hullett, Monday with 24
adults present. The topic had to
do with the statement that infor-
mation is a requirement to public
relations.
In discussing the topic the meet-
ing felt that it was hard for the
farmers to dress like town dwel-
lers since the farmers has chop
and feed and produce to handle on
nearly every occasion that he goes
to town. At the same time, it
was felt that his appearance could
be improved upon and that a neat-
er appe:,lanee would give town
people a better view of the far-
mers. An effort should be made
to invite more town people to farm
meetings and discussions, and
then give publicity to the results.
Radio and newspapers can be
thanked, the forum thought, for
the time and space which is given
to farm problems. Dramatized in-
terviews are found to be helpful,
and if such agricultural programs
were put on the air at a time con-
venient to both urban and rural
people it would help with a better
understanding.
The meeting felt that local pap-
ers could be thanked for the space
which is given to the discussion' of
farm problems. and it was felt
that farm organizations should
make more effort in reporting pro-
gress of farm organizations and
presenting findings regularly. The
forum didn't think thfat there would
be any benefit from paying into
another public relations program
at provincial or national level, as
such a program would necessitate
the employment of trained person.
nel which, in turn, would take ad-
ditional funds. A greater degree
of co-operation on the part of all
existing organizations with respect
to a public relations program would
be of considerable help.
Following the discussion period
progressive euchre was- enjoyed
and prizes were won as follows:
high, Mrs. George Carter and Mrs.
Jessie Tebbutt; lone hands, Mrs.
George Carter and Bert Hoggart;
consolation, Mrs. Oliver Anderson
and Douglas Riley,

tion in compiling a list, Miss Reid
explained that the system that is

warded by someone else.

George Ogglesby, no fixed address,'
Ogglesby, charged with vagrancy,
appeared before W. E. Southgate,
J.P., Wednesday morning and was;
remanded without bail. According
to police, he had been at the Smith
farm prior to the fire, but had
left there and had come to Sea -
forth.
Huron Crown Attorney H. Glenn
Hays said Wednesday night he
was awaiting the report of the in-
vestigating officers.
Frank Phillips, Seaforth, said he'
arrived at the fire a few moments
before the fire brigade. Already
a portion of the barn had fallen
in and there was 'no hope of sav-
ing the building, be said.
The alarm, came into Seaforth
about three o'clock, and when the
brigade, under Chief John F.
Scott, arrived at the scene a few
moments later, the barn, a mass
of flames,' was beyond saving.
Lost in the blaze, in addition to
the building, were eight cows, 12
or more young cattle, 30 pigs, a
number of laying hens, and some
machinery. There was no possi-
bility of rescuing stock or remov-
ing machinery, according to fire-
men.
For a time, sparks whipped off
the fire by a brisk breeze, threat-
ened a driving shed, but the fire
did not spread. It is believed
some insurance was carried.
