Fire Levels Large Barn And

Machine Shed

Fire at Klnkora syeetrday at noon completely destroyed a large barn and a machine shed on the farm of Gerald Keefe. and a strong breeze which fanned the flames carried burning embers into the village of Kinkora about three- quarters of a mile distant. igniting the wooden roof of a building there. and causing considerable alarm for the safety of nearby homes and business places until extinguished by water from the pumper truck of the Kinkora Village Fire Depart- ment-

The fire. which destroyed the buildings on the farm of Mr. Keefe. began in the large main barn which measured about 28 X 120 feet.

Mr. Keefe had Just loaded some grain to be taken to the mill at Kin- kora and had driven the tractor along in front of an open barn door to pick up some separator equipment to take to his house, some distance from the barn. to be washed.

A strong breeze was blowing directly on this part of the barn. and while returning to the tractor he found that straw just inside the building was on fire. and being fanned by the breeze was quickly out of control and spreading rapid-

'ly in the tinder-dry barn which

was a complete mass of flames within a few minutes.

Unable to extinguish the fire. Mr. Keefe tempted to free the livestock stabled in the building, and. with difficulty, was success- ful in driving 14 head of cattle and a horse from the barn as names consumad the building over his head.

Getting the cattle to hastily leave the barn presented quite a pro- blem and two calves which had been let loose stubbornly resisted avlctiou and perished in the flames.

Predicts

Unprecedented Progress

TORONTO (CF)-An era of pro- gress and opportunity unequalled in history was predicted today by Rhys M. sale. president of Ford Motor Company of Canada. in an address to the annual meeting of the Association of Canadian Ad- vertisers.

"We can look forward to a long stretch of good times." Mr. Sale added. "perhaps punctuated by a few perfectly natural dips and ad- justments."

For the immediate future. 105'! would be another good year for Canadian business generally.

Looking further ahead, there probably would be a spectacular enlargement of the Canadian mar- ket in the period 100043" when that big e of war babies born after 1069 reach maturity and begin. founding families of their own '

Mr. Sale's comments were con- taincd in a text issued to the press in advance of delivery.

For all business and all con- cerned in it. including advertisers. the future would be one of intense competition.

"Unless you are at least 40 years of age and have had 1) years of business experience. Mr. Sale said. "you have merely nihbled at the edges of compet itlon. You have never made a full- course meal of the exciting hard- slugging kind of competition we knew back in the Nils, nor the kind we are going to have in the years ahead. . . ."

Sheriff - Gordon Expand Refinery

TORONTO (CP)-Sherritt-Gob don Mines Ltd.. will expand capac- ity of its refinery at Fort Saskatch- ewan, near Edmonton. to a mini- mum of 25,000,000 pounds of nickel metal a year-compaed with a current capacity of around 20,000.- 000 pounds-El"'"' L. Brown. pres- ident. said Friday at the com- pany's annual meeting.

The largest part of the increased production is expected to be from concentrates from the nickel mine at Choate. B.C.. which Western Nickel Ltd., in which Sherritt has an interest. plans to put into pro- duction.

The increased capacity is ex- pected to be effective in early 1958. when Western Nickel concen- trates should start arriving.

Sher-ritt has also agreed. Mr. Brown said. to buy from Ameri- can Cyuuamid Company all the patents and licensing rights in cer- tain chemical metallurgica! pro- cesses which the two companies share.

COMPLETE FREEDOM

This would give Sherritt com- plete. world-wide freedom in the licensing of the processes con- cerned. Considerable interests in them now is being shown by some large i ' companies outside Canada and the company expects it will eventually receive consid- erable revenue from such licences. These two dew ' - together with expenditures at the Lynn Lake mining operation in northern Man- itoba and the Laurie River power ' ' t which " th mine operation with power. would mean that capital expenditures this year would be in the same range as last year. when they were more than 8.000.000.

Chrysler Gamble Paid Off Well

DETROIT (AP)-Not on a wing

a prayer! That's the way Chrysler came back.

Somewhat oversimplified. this sums up one of the basic reasons why Chryler Corporation so far this year has staged one of the most sensational omebacks in automotive history.

Those fins jutting into the air on each side of the Chrysler make of cars caused a lot of talk among auto owners. More important than that. the over-all. rakish styling caught on fast in the market place. Results as of now:

Last week Chrysler reported first-quarter earnings of 346,545,521 equal to 55.34 a share on record sales of 51.150 723,712, In the same period last year the corporation had earnings of 810,905,772 or 31.25

GAMBLE PAYING OFF

Chrysler spent more than S300,- 000,000 to bring out the 1957 line of cars. They had lower silhou- ettes, wider grilles and those high. sweeping rear fender fins. Chrys-

With more than 20 per cent of the total car market Chrysler is ahead of its 1957 goal. The next step undoubtedly will be the 23 per cent share it held for the slump in is foruns.

Back of the big Chrysler resur gence are several outstanding fig- ures - lester L. Colbert. 54-year- old president of the corporation; Virgil M. Exner, director of styl- ing; Paul Ackerman. director of engineering. and James zeder. en- gineering vice-president.

Unlike his two predecessors in the Chrysler presidency-Walter P. Chrysler and Kaufman T. Kei- ler - Colbert is not a mechanic. He came to Chrysler through its legal department.
