Destroys
Barn
A• fire believed to have been
caused 'by lightning completely
destroyed a barn belonging to
Mrs. J. E. Murray of McKillop,
seven miles northeast of Sea -
forth, Monday night. '
The same storm which
brought hail to some of the
area also caused :a. large tree
to fall against Carnegie Lib-
rary, Sea'forth. It was the same
tree which had been partly
demolishedin a storm a few
months ago.
Arthur Murray estimated the
damage caused by the fire to
be approximately $7,000. He
said the 40' by 60' barn had no
livestock in it but some hay
and straw was destroyed.
Mr. Murray said a neighbor,
Frank Nolan, was the first to
notice the fire -around 10 p.m.
Seaforth Fire Department was
then called. Mr: Murray said
the fire department arrived
within 15 minutes but were un-
able' to do anything. He said the
barn was gone in less than a
half an hour. '1

The dairy farmers are pro-
testing against low milk prices
and demanding a firm price of
$4 a hundredweight for indus-
trial milk. Effective April 1st,
industrial milk shippers were
guaranteed $3.25 per 100
pounds of milk based on 3.5
butterfat content. In addition,
the federal government, , prom-
ised a 75 cent per hundred-
weight subsidy to bring the lev-
el to $4. However, milk buyers
deduct trucking fees . ranging
from 15 to 30 cents a hundred
from the basic 13,25.
Union members want the
provincial government to ab-
sorb this cost and any others
involved so they will receive a
flat $4.
