Original Toronto Star caption: Burned-out shell is all that s left of the Thornhill Country Club; where a $1;000;000 fire broke out only hours after members left a Saturday night party. The lounge and locker rooms of the 8-year-old luxury clubhouse were destroyed but the shell of the curling rink remained intact and there is a chance the ice-making machinery is all right; a club official said. If so; curling may be resumed soon.
