All that remained at daybreak were srlouldering ruins. The barn belonging to Joseph J. - Lane is located, four miles northeast of Seaforth in Mc- Kiliop Township. Lost in the blaze was the season's hay crop, - a milking machine, threshing machine, hammer mill and'sbme livestock. Kr. Lane had brought the threshing machine into the barn Tuesday, ready to com- mence threshing thenext day. Seaforth firemen, at the scene within a few minutes of the first alarm,were unable to sal- vage anything from, the fire. The fire was noticed by Mr. Lane during a severe electrical storm. Within minutes t h e building was a mass- of flames. • Fortunately a high wind blew flames and sparks - from the barn fire away from the farm house. Estimated loss of the barn and equipment was set at $20,000 by 'Seaforth Fire Chief J. F. Scott. It was partly coy- ' ered by insurance. • • • • •Seaforth' centennial project 111 be a street to serve the ew hospital area.

The large picture, in the pos- session of •Miss Mabel E. Hod- gins, .110 St. Clair Ave. West, Toronto 7, was presented in memory of her brother, Cecil W. Hodgins.

Lane, McKillop, 'early Wednesday morning. Loss, :et at $20,000.00 by .Fire Chief John F. Scott, included season's hay crop, threshing machine, milking machine and some stock. The fire was noticed following a violent electrical storm.

A pbr tion of this area -25 acres in all—was annexed by the town nearly two years ago. One of the features. of the Municipal Board order approving the an- nexation was that provision be made for a public road from No. 8 Highway, north to Mc- Killop Township, land • for this purpose has been made avail- able by the hospital. The en- gineering firm of Archibald, Temperatures in the late 80's and on several days in the 90's, have advanced grain crops in the area, and harvest is well underway. According to D. H. Miles, Huron ag rep, the aver- age yield may be down slight- ly from 1963. For the first time ,. in nearly two weeks there was some re- lief from the heat and hum- idity that has blanketed the area. A severe electrical storm early Wednesday was accom- panied by, cooling breezes and low,er humidity. Meanwhile, according to Mr. Miles, army' worms and Mexican bean beetle calls are getting less in number, and because of the favorable weather, more ground has been prepared for fall wheat than is normal for this time of• year. He adds that milk yield and livestock gain is good. Set Plans For CWNA Convention Canada's biggest newspaper convention, the annual assem- bly of the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association, will • be held in Toronto during the last week in . August.

The convention will have a pioneer theme. A wood- cut of an old printing press, inscribed, with the message, • "The Tyrants Foe, the Peoples Friend," is used to symbolize the pioneer theme. Headquartetrs for the conven- tion will be the Royal York Hotel, but • many of the ses- sions will take place away from the hotel. In addition to the trip to Niagara Fells, ettpedi. tlons are • also planned to (Continued on Page '7) Wi Neigbors '"Friends in need are friends indeed" has long been a popular expression, but it has particular meaning for Mr. and Mrs. Ron WilIamson, RR 2, Walton. A month ago the barn. on their farm, on the county road east of Walton, was burned; and last week. the "friends indeed" turned up. They were some thirty neighbors who gathered ,20 acres of hay and stored it in a barn on the neighboring farm of Harold McCallum. The work bee was ar- ranged by Clifford Hoegy.

He had assured -the clerk he was avail- able to assist in any way con- cerning the project. The new street would be de- veloped only far enough' to serve the hospital. Plans pre- pared by McCormick and Ran- kin, of Port Credit, who. last . year designed the Goderich Street connecting link, provide for a 24 -foot paved road, with curbs, sidewalk and necessary grading, storm sewers and catch basins. Estimated cost was $15,331.00. Councillor Bill Wilbee ques-' tioned the costs involved, and.. it was explained a substantial amount_ of grading was neces- sary. Deputy Reeve Carl -Dalton— - said arl Dalton -- said he felt preliminary queries concerning posts •suggested the, estimate was- high. The work would be spread over two years.. Council approved a supple- mental road bylaw for $6,500.
