WOOD STOVE BLAMED FOR FIRE — Siding was
scor ched on the home of Albert Siernon (right) but
firemen saved the house Thursday. A wood stove
used for burning garbage has been blamed for the
fire which burned down the farm equipment and
plumbing shop in the foreground owned by his son,
Keith,, of R.R.4, Walton. Mr. Siemon says that he
will rebuild the shop, but he doesn't know where or
when. Insurance covered only $9,500 of the
estimated $25,000 damage. (Staff Photo)

happy to receive the news that

money was immediately allocated
to the applicants next on the list,
with the last one receiving
approximately half of what was
asked, with the promise of the

tion was begun before the monies
were available, the work must be
inspected by the Drainage
Commissioner to qualify.
Council received delegations in
connection with re-zoning,
repairs to municipal drains, and
the problem "Of water run off.
With the exception of the munici-
pal, drainage problem, the.• rest
were satisfactorily dealt with.

came to a Mennonite Church, as
the congregation had just left,
with horses and buggies. Some
two seated democrats with nick
teams of driving horses were
trotting along on the gravel
portion of the highway. I can well
say one behind the other for over
a mile long.
They all had slow moving
signs, all wore black clothing.
Talk about dedication, we thought
it almost too hot for a car on the

crops around Arthur and Orange-
ville appeared late and afterwards
I learned they had a cold, wet
spring which delayed planting, hi
some cases, until a few • weeks
ago. The Holland Marsh lands,
which I understand, consists of
some 25Q0 acres, are close to
market and they depend mostly
on irrigation.
This year they have had no
oceassion to use it.. While their
crops in vegetables, loglsed good,
their problem is that the land is
too wet for machinery. We saw
several' tractors bogged down in
the field with spraying
equipment.
As we drove home today by
way of Palmerston and Listowel,
one can only say,.we should be
counting our blessings. Every-
thing looks so much better here.
Harvest will soon be on, but we
are not sure until, it's all over.
