HALIFAX, Aug. 30-(0 P) - Question of n fxcd date for Easter was discussed today in the first! business meeting of the general ‘

synod o.‘ the Church of England in Canada, now holding its 14th session.

Fate Of Two Summer (Cottages Unknown -— Other Buildings Saved.

Four miles of wood land in the Brudenell district were a blackened waste this morning after a fire which raged unabated for two days. The flames began shortly after noon’ on Sunday in the vic- inity of “the swamp road" and destroyed all wood and timberland eastward to Bruderiell Point. Bi1ild- lugs in danger last night were summer cottages along the Mon- tague River owned by Dr. L. A. Johnston, L. H. Coffin, and R.W_ Beck of Montague. and Al C. Sin- clair. Charlottetown.
