On Sunday morning a large barn owned by Mr. Leigh Coles- Springbrook school district, near long River, was struck by light- ning during the severe electric storm which occurred in the morning. Mr. and Mrs. Coles. who were absent from home when the storm broke, had Just returned when lightning struck. In a. few minutes the entire structure was a. mass of flames which were soon beyond control.

A large number of neighbors gathered at the scene but they were unable to do anything ex- cept concentrate on preventing the fire from spreading to thc nearby residence. Later in the day members of the Kenslngton Fire Department went to the scene of the iire and extinguished the still burning embers which were a source of danger to the home of Mr. Coles.

The amount of the loss could not be estimated yesterday but would be several thousand doi- lars, partially covered by insur- ance.

200 Phones Affected

A review made last evening in connection with the number of phones which were out of order in summerside and vicinity as a result of Sunday's severe electric storms placed the number at well over two hundred.

Repair crews were at work on the cables as soon as possible yesterday and last evening many cf the phones were on-:e more in tvorklrlg or- der. It is expected that the rest will be ell repaired by today.

(By Edwin Shanke)

BERLIN, Aug. 30—(AP)— The senior committee o1 the BETLID city council again defied tie Communists today and named a five-man delegation to represei. Berlin at the convention to draft a charter for a West German Government.

The committee decided to post- pone a regular council meeting scheduled for tomorrow until a communique is issued on the four» power talks in Moscow.

Communist mem-bers of tile committee walked out when the matter arose of naming a delega- tion to the sessions at Bonn We..- nesday for the purpose of writing a constitution for the British. An:- crlcan and French occupation zones.

Thus the Communists once more expressed their detcrmlrfa tion to prevent any close ties be- tween Berlin and Western Ger- many.

(Reuters reported that relialhe Allied sources said the Berlin headquarters of one of the Wesl- ern Powers has received e dis- patch from Moscow (“a/t the high- est possible level?)

In Frankfurt the British and American military governors were quoted as saying the Moscow talks

'w0uld have no influence upon the

Western Powers‘ plan to set up e separate government in Western Germany.

The French, British and Ameri- can zones are scheduled to be 1o- tegrated politically at Bonn Wed- nesday when a parliamentary council will meet to draw up a German constitution.

k The council is expected to avoid pony limiting term such as “was:- ‘enr’ and to reach agreement cn ,a charter that could serve for all l G:l~man_v.
