Two Viliiii-es liad Been Under . Serious Threat

FORIESTVILLE, Que, (0P)-In- termittent rain sprinkled over the Forestvllle area Sunday slowing the spread of a. forest fire that had earlier threatened to engulf two St. Lawrence north shore communities.

Firefighters estimated the show- ers drop-ped 1-5 of an inch of rain on the flames after they had been stirred out of control by strong wind earlier in uhe week-end.

Officials said the damping down of the tire would give the fire- fighters an cpportunity to consoli- idate their lines.

Women, Children Moved

Earlier Sunday. 191 women and children were evacuated from near- by Canton Latour and Ste. Therese du Colombier after flames had spread within striking distance of" the two villages.

A stiff northwest wind Saturday whipped the flames into action and sent them sweeping toward "the two villages east of this St. Lawrence river north shore town about 200 miles east of Quebec City.

At last count Red Cross disaster teams in the region said 53 persons from Canton Latour, and 138 from Ste. Therese had been transported by bus to the safety of Ste. Anne de Portneuf. a village a. fewlmiles west of" here and removed from the fire's path.

Large Barn At Kelly's

i

During heavy electrical storms that swept the south shore dis- trict yesterday afternoon. a barn owned by Mr. James McMahon of Kellyjs Cross was struck by light- ning and burned to the ground.

When the barn was struck Mr. McMahon was sitting in a car in his yard with three other men. So sudden was the destruction by fire that nothing could be done to save the barn. The loss included one calf, one threshing outfit and a large quantity of hay. The build- ing was theymain barn of the farm.

The wind at the time was blow- ing in a direction that carried the flames away from the house near-

by and this. together with the heavy rain falling at the time. prevented the loss of any other

building.

As far as could be learned last evening the storm had caused no damage in the Siinimerside or western sections of the Province.

The storm was general over much of the Province. although the area around Alberton and Tignlsh was not affected.

In Charlottetown about 6.15 heavy rain was mixed with hall. Pellets of ice up to the size of large garden peas were thick enough to leave the streets with a whitishlap- pearance for a few minutes.

Montague reported a severe storm at about the same time. A bolt of lightning was reported to have struck the water in Georgetown Harbor. Some electric lights in the area were out for a time)
