The Huron Expositor, 1948-04-09, Page 1•:Y T7 7,7 Epgtity-nin#: Year 'Whole. Number 4191 DEPT. OF HIGHWAYS KNOWS NOTHING, OF 110.8 STRAIGHTENING Not Aware of Rumor That Bend West of Seaforth To Be Eliminated. Rumors which have been current during recent weeks that the Depart- ment of Highways proposed to elim- inate the curve on No. 8 highway, at the west end of Seaforth, are just rumors' me far as the Department is concerned. Speaking to The Expositor Tuesday, a spokesman of the Stratford division- al office said he had heard) nothing of the proposal. He pointed out that a certain amount of widening goes on all the time and that this frequently necessitates the acquisition of adjoin- ing propea ties. Any program to elim- inate the mile -long curve was news to •him, however. The story that is being discussed ht the district is that instead Of bend- ing to the south at the westerly lim its of Seaforth, the highway would continue directly west and join the existing straight road at a point a little over a mile west of town. Such a scheme would eliminate two bad corners that have bean the scenes of more than one fatal accident in re- cent years, and at the same time re- lieve one of the worst snow removal problems which exists on the Strat- ford-Goderich road. • To Build Sidewalks In Egmondville Tuckersmith Municipal Council met i.n the Town.

Whyte is Complete. ly Destroyed Wednesday Evening - ,Six thousand hens were burned to death and lose estimated at $30,000 resulted Wednesday evening, when fire of undetermined origin destroyed a large hen house owned .by W. L. Whyte, on the 4th concession of Hun lett. The fire was discovered shortly after six o'clock, when R. W. Cope, south farm foreman, glanced out the window of his home and saw smoke coming out of the nearby henhouse. Within a matter of minutes the in- terior of the five -floor building was a mass of flames. The fire broke through the roof within an hour, and by eight. o'clock all that was left of the building was a mass of burning embers and twisted wreckage within the walls of the foundation. Mr. Cope had completed hie chores in the. henhouse about 5.30 and had gone to his home for supper. At that time there was no Indication of smoke or fire in the building. No reason can be advanced as to the manner in which the fire started. While the building was electrically wired, it is not thought this was a cause, since it is only two years ago the work was completed. At the height of the blaze, 'burning embers were carried across' nearby fields and neighboring farmers, afraid the-Srre might be carried to other buildings, established fire watch on all barns that were threatened. The danger was lessened by a sprinkle of rain which fell early in the evening. The building which was destroyed was located on what wa formerly the Ed. Pryce farm, acros ; the con- cession road frim Mr. Whyte's home farm. Formerly a large bank barn it had been converted in 1946 into a flve-floor chicken house with a ca- pacity of 6,000 birds. The building and equipment it contained were to- gether valued at $30,000. The loss is partlyy covered by insurance. No de- cision has been made regarding the replacement of the building. Mr. Whyte and his son, John, no- ticed the fire from the home farm and were among the first at the scene. • Institute Discusses Personality, Dress The Seaforth Women's Institute sponsored an interesting conference in the Carnegie Lib •ary basement on Friday, when Miss Creyke,�of the Wo- men's Institute Branch, • spoke on "Personality and Dress."

We feel sure, War- den, that your bride who for so many years has been most regular and punctual i>b the Sunday School and Choir, will 'be lust as dependable in ...getting up in the morning and cook- ing meals sharp on time. You will find, Anna, that making a husband out. of a man is one of the highest: 'plastic arts known to civilize tion. It requires science. sculpture ccmmon sense, faith. hope and • char sty, especially charity. It is a psy chological marvel that asoft, fluffy tender. vioiet:scented, sweet little thing like a woman should enjoy kiss- ing a big, awkward, stubby -chinned thing like a man. Husbands are of three varieties—prizes, surprises and consolation prizes. A good many hus- bands are entirely spoiled by mis- management in cooking and so are not tender and good; some women keep them constantly in hot water, others freeze tbem, others put them in a stew. others roast them, others keep them constantly in a pickle,. but they are really delicious when proper- ly treated. Do not try him with any- thing sharp to see if he is becoming tender. ' We look forward with pleasure to Jour continued fellowship and assist- ance in the Choir, Sunday School and Young People's, and in all friendship with gond wishes, the Choir, Sunday School and Young People's of Ag- mondville United Church ask you to accept these, gifts.
