Yesterday afternoon about 3.30 during a severe electric storm, a poultry building on the farm of Harold Waugh, North Bedeque was struck by lightning and com- pletely burned. An alarm was sent in to the Bummerside Fire De- partment and a crew of men with fire fighting apparatus responded. It was found on arrival that neighbours, who had gathered, had prevented the fire from spreading to the house and barn about thirty feet away. [A bucket brig- ade had been formed and further spreading was prevented also by a heavy downpour of rain. Port- unately there was no wind blow- lng at the time.

The building housed about 400 laying pullets and all were lost in the fire. The building was about 15 by 30 feet, modern and. up to date, and supported by a cement foundation.

The loss sustained would be about fifteen hundred dollars, partly covered by insurance. S

To “Wake llp”

QUEBEC. Oct. R — (C?) — » Premier Duplcssis delivered an appeal tonight lo Canadians to “wake up" in the face of a chal- lenge from "Communism. So- cialism and Bcishevlsm" aiming at world chaos.

In a 40-minute address to the final dinner session 9f the 18th annual meeting of the Canad- ian Cliambc oi’ Commerce, the Quebec Promlcr urged his aud- ience to be inspired by "corn- mon sense witch should always tell you to work. think and not."

Premier Duplcsels urged con- vention delegates to be con- scious of their "duties and re- sponsibilities" and overcome "d"sustrous indifference and ap- uthy."

“Everyone knows what is go- ing on today." the Premier de- clared. "The war has been over more than two years. United Nations meetings are becoming a platform for Communist and Bnlshevist propaganda.

“The Russians are delaying the conclusion oi’ the peace. Strikes are being organised to keep things in I. state of dis- tress and misery which we must realize are fodder for Commun- lnm. There is no reason not to sea what l| plain and what is already too costly."

Canso Delayed By Engine Trouble

HALIFAX, Oct. 8-A twin-eng- ine R,C.A.F‘. Canso amphibian. which is in Fort Chlmo on the Hudson Strait fringe of Quebec on a mercy flight, has been delayed by engine trouble but the crew is making repairs on the spot and the plane will continue its flight tomorrow morning.

The plane will pick up an Esk- imo, suffering gunshot wounds, at Ivuguvlk and fly him to Goose Bay Hospital. ‘the man was wounded Oct. 4 and the plane left Halifax Oct. 6 on the 1.200 mile flight to Iguguvlk. Goose Bay is an inter- mediary point.

Considers Canada llas Sufficient Coal For Winter

Shortage 0f Railway Cars Reported Chief Problem Facing This Province.

OTTAWA, Oct. 8 - (OP) -- It may be a long hard winter, but Canadian householders needn't worry about lack of coal supplies, because Canada “will have all the fuel she needs this winter.” 1'20. Neatc, executive secretary of the Dominion Fuel Board, said today in s. brief interview.

Mr. Neate's remarks were made prior to the opening session of a two-day conference of the Stoker Institute of Canada. The confer- enre is directed towards establish- ng a research program to lower fuel costs and gear up industrial efficiency.

“The Cape Breton coal strike did not affect the national coal supply — not even in the Mari- times," Mr. Neate said. “Duxtng the strike, we shipped coal to the Mar- ltlrnes via Montreal, which we ob- tained from the United States."

He said 55 per cent of Canad‘an coal supplies came from the United States and the remainder from Canadian sources. Stoker-s saved fuel and cut down costs.

Local Problem Discussed

(The local coal shortage situation was discussed here yesterday with the Provincial Government by a representative number of cc-al dealers throughout i-lic Province. The chief problem was found to be the shortage‘ of railway cars to bring coal here from Sidney. The Government. with a number of dealers, will take up this matter with the ralway department, usg- lng the need of more cars for this purpose.

(The prospect of procuring boats for water transportation of ccal was also discussed, and a commit- tee comprising Messrs. A. Plckard, G.H. Buntain, and Mr. Dav son, of Kensington, was appointed to pre- pare a report for the Government dealing with this matter.)

Stresses Need 0f Restoring Family Worship

Speaking before s. hushed con- gregation which last night filled St. James Presbyterian Church. the venerable Moderator of the General Assembly of the Presby- terian Church in Canada, the Right Reverend Charles H. Mac- Donald, appealed for the restitu- tion of family worship throughout the nation.

"If we would establish faintly worship in our homes," the Mod- erator said, "then 90 per cent of our juvenile courts would close for lack of cases. Not only that, but one of our national scandals would be practically wiped out for div- orces do not occur in homes where. morning and evening, the husband and wife kneel to worship God."

By H. Dent l-iodgson OTTAWA, Oct. 8 -—(CP)—Wlth some sign of abatement in the pominion-wi-de meat-packing strike, focd experts in the Capital today said the average Briton faces a probable cut in his weekly two- ounce bacon ration.

While bacon is sti-ll being ship- ped to the United Kingdom, ex- ports have been clipped to one- quarter or one-fifth of their normal level and observers here laid that unless full production can be re- sumed almost immediately, the meagre bacon ration "almost cer- tainly" would be reduced.

but this was merely a total which Britain would have taken if it had been available.

While Canada was keeping up with scheduled shipments before the strike there is little likelihood now that the 80,000,000 pounds for the final three months of the year can be met. One source said that unless full-scale shipments could be started by Oct. 18, a out in the British ration was inevitable.

Since it would take anywhere from 10.day| to two weeks to get bacon to the Atlantic seaboard even if the packing plants re-opened at

Strikers Ar They Must Picketing

Warning to strikers at the local Canada Packers plant that they "cairnnt legally picket a Govern- meiit-opcialed plant" and that they must "desist immediately from loitering on or about the vicinity", was given in. a signed statement is- sued to the press last night by Hon. Horace Wright, Government controller.

The text of Mr. Wright's merit follows:

"The Government of Prince Ed- ward Island has looked with great concern on the packing strike. A good deal of suffering and hard- shI-p have been caused to ou.r citi- zens by this work stoppage. Tihe loss to both farmers and strikers has been considerable. Because of ‘this the Government attempted to ‘iget the plant back in operation by loffering a bonus to the workers of lfifly cenis for each hog slaughter- ed. This bonus Was to be paid week- ly and was not returnable. At a Iconservaiive estimate of only 2,000 lhog slaughterlngs per week a total of $1,000 would be pair: as a. bonus to the men.

“When it is realized that $840 a week would be sufficient to pay the original Union demand for a 20 cents per lhour increase, it can be seen that this offer was generous. When Local 282 of U.P.\V.A.. on orders from their head office at Toronto. refused this generous of- fer and counterciaimed with a new and greater demand of 32 cents per hour, the Government found it necessary to take over the plant so as to ensure the continued proces- sing of pork products anc: to pre- vent serious loss to our farmers.

“Since the Government now op- erates this factory the workers em- played by Canada. Packers now. oil slrike have no status as regards the Crow-n, so that these strikers can- not legally picket s. Government- opcratcd plant.

"For some days past strikers have been molesting Government em- ployees and have attempted to intimidate them. Under these cir- cumstances all those on strike against Canada Packers must de- sist immediately from loitering on or about the vicinity of the plant. "The offer is still open for these Canada Packers employees to covme to work for the Government. By doing this the workers in no way prejudice their position either with the Union or with the Company. A worker can be employed by the Government and still be on strike against Canada Packers. It is hop- ed that those members of the local Union who desire to relieve a ser-
