Destructive Fire At Bunbury Yesterday

. piemenie such as shovels. picks, etc.

The fire was first noticed in the southwest corner or the straw barn by Mr. Wood's 8-year-old son, David, who was coming home from Premier Jones' farm around four o'clock. During the fire the wind was blowing in an easterly direc- tion and carried large pieces of shingles to the farm oi the Premier where they set fire to two oi the outbuildings. These blazes were quenched by a bucket brigade re- inforced by the Bickle purnper from the city when it arrived.

So far as was known last night Mr. Wood did not lose any of his livestock. He stated there was only one two-year-old heifer - account- ed for and possibly it was wander- ing around safely. All animals con- fined in the barns were turned loose or led to safety by Mr. Don Macllachern oi Mermaid. .and em- ployees on the farm oi the Prem- ier.

Terrific heat hampered the ef- forts of firefighters as the wooden structures burned fiercely and pre- vented people from getting too handy. The city firefighters laid i.wo lines of hose from a stream about a quarter-mile away.

At the time oi the outbreak Mr. Wood was assisting his son Win- ston at the latterls farm at Mt. Herbert and has no idea how the fire could have started where it did. He stated there were no wires in that end of the building which is the one nearest the farm oi Premier Jones. When young David first noticed the blade he ran for his mother and they tried to put it out with a few buckets of water. However. seeing that it was getting out of control, they telephoned for help.

City firemen were away slightly more than three hours on the call. The fire damage, which will run into several thousands of dollars. is

Boost In-Ttade With West Indies Seen Poisible.

UITAWA. May 21-(CF)-In. fomied quarters disclosed today that Britain is giving favorable consideration to plan to ease im- port controls and so allow more Canadian manufactured goods to reach the British market.

The informants said she also is considering a scheme to release more dollars from her exchange pool to allow the British West Indies to increase purchases from Canada. ,

These developments. favorable to the Canadian exporter, emerged as finance, trade and economic officials from both countries plunged into a three-day secret trade conference.

The meeting, in Parliament's East Block, was the fifth session of the Canada-United Kingdom continuing trade committee. a trade link born of Britain's crit- ical exchange days in 1948.

The meetings will continue for three days. Decisions reached will form the basis oi recommenda- tions to both governments.

Though it is not mandatory that the governments accept these re- commendations, informants recall- ed that major decisions reached at previous meetings were, in fact, accepted and adopted by the governments.

Britain's plan to ease import controls likely will be done through expansion of the token import scheme. Under this scheme.

J aycees Turn Down Move Fqr National Flag

QUEBEC, May 21 -. (CP) - The lath annual convention of the Jun- lor Chamber oi Commerce of can- ade today rejected a resolution calling for adoption oi a national flag for Canada distinct from all others. 1

The Junior Chamber had pre- vloualy approved the principle oi as national flag but voted down one resolution sponsored by two Que- bec Province chambers, from Beau- harnois and IsEVlI.

lt asked chamber approval for a "flag which will bear its own em- blsyn distinct from all others and that the above-mentioned decision be made known to the Govern- ment of Canada as soon as pos- aible."

Five of nine resolutions were passed by the three-day conven- tlon which got underway today at- tended by 220 delegates from across Canada.

Two of the approved resolutions were submitted by the Halifax Jun- ior Board of Trade.

U. K. May Ease Controls On AC.ainacIianhGoioclsl Impressive Exercises At St. llunstanis University

The second largest graduating Cllss in the history of St. Dun- stan's University. comprising forty-three young men and wo- men received, their degrees from the hands of His Excellency, Bishop James Boyle yesterday at- ternoon at the 97th annual Com- mencement Exercises oi the Uni- varsity.

The graduating exercises, which were witnessed by a very large audience. took place in the spaci- ous gymnasium suditorium only recently completed. His Excel- lency presided at the exercises. A stirring address to the grad- uates was given by Mr. Robt. W. Keyserllngk.

Monsignor R. V. Maclfenzie. D.D., Rector oi the University in presenting his annual report re- viewed the expansion oi the in- stitution in the past year. He not- ed with alarm the dearth of hu- manities in educational curricula, the scarcity oi religion in educa- tion and other dangers to which "we have become so inured."

An eloquent v lediictory was presented by Mr. ark R. Mac- Guigan. son oi Mr. Justice Mark R. MacGuigan and Mrs. Mac- Guigan. .Mr. Maccrulgan grad- uated "summs cum laude."

Address To

A challenge to "clear thinking and determined action" to com- bat the menace of Communlsni was sounded by "Mr. Robert W. Keyserlingk, publisher oi The Ensign and managing director of the Camplon Press, in an elo- quent address delivered yesterday afternoon to the graduating class of St. Dunstan's University.

"When the events oi our age will have become recorded his- tory.” Mr. Keyserltngk said. "this particular period will be marked

' by two characteristics. Firstly. it

is the period in which society a ached the end oi a road along which western humanity has travelled for several centuries. a disastrous course of self-delusion. Secondly, it marks the beginning of a severe testing period which might decide for generations whether the damage sustained is rcparable and whether the mis- takes can be retrieved."

It is easy. the speaker em- phasized, to talk about the vio- lence which has ravaged the

world through two world wars nnd which even now is spread- ing the blight and destruction of a third world war across entire continents. ''It is easy because we find ourselves in the beauti- ful and peaceful surroundings of one of the world's most favour- ite spots. But unfortunately that is merely the illusion of distance and the still lingering echo of a former immunity from a danger which is already seeping into our very midst."

Western society has been pre- occupied with national interests and material rivalries leaving little time or even interest for disputing fundamental issues of belief. But as a materialist con- cept of society began to infringe on the convictions based on God's truth an old conflict flared up

anew. Actually. Mr. Keyserlingk said.

West Indies

BNDGETOWN. Barbados. May hi-(CP)-Welfare Minister D. B. Sangster of Jamaica said today "Canada is the natural friend of the West Indies and trade between us has been ruined."

He charged Britain with de- stroying "the goodwill oi the people of the West ladies who have not only the well oi starva- tion at the door but another wolf peeping through the window."

A combined meeting of the lie- gional lieooomic connnittee and British West Indies Sugar Associ- ation. loo. denounced the United Kingdom's trade policy. Delegates referred eqaeelaliy to resent neit- ish overwgsniait do in TONIIIV. I . lull!

The chairman of the joint chiefs of staff gave these views to the Senate armed services and foreign relations committees in his third day of outspoken opposition to the war program proposed by MacAr- thur. He is scheduled to testify again tomorrow.

Cuba had agreed to do away with preferences. resulting in a saving of dollars of which the West in- dies "will get their share."

Labor Minister Albert Gnomes of Trinidad said the "desperately" low standard of living in the West indies is due to UK. trade policy which "prevented capital from coming here-Mr. Boitmiley has come so dar to say so little.”

Mr. sangsier edded:."U. K. re- presentatives ask 'Why the hovele. poverty. unernpioyvnerit and lack of medical services here'i' How can these be supplied when Brit- ain bypasses the only things the West indies produces. and buys elsewhere?"
