Today OFFER INDUCEMENTS During the campaign potatoes and promises held the spotlight. , Veteran island observers cannot recall a campaign that has seen rival parties offering the voters so many financial inducements —all perfectly legal of course. Besides the abolition of hos- pital premiums the government promised compensation of grain growers unable to harvest their crops this fall because of wet weather. The Liberals promised free school books for pupils up to grade 10 and pensions for widows no longer qualified for mothers' allowances and for single women over 60. But the biggest controversy involved the mainstay of this island's big farming industry—— the humble potato. I Mr. Matheson promised a $1 fluids and furniture polish. which had been used early in the day. The building was being clean- ed in readiness for use as the St. Andrew's Polling Station in today‘s election. Contacted last night. Henry Mallard. neturning officer for Kings County. said i are election materials would be at the borne of the deputy return- ing officer. In view of the or- iginal polling station being des— troyed he would be permitted to arrange for a station to be set up in any private home or some other hall situated withi-n rea- sonable distance of the destroy' ed station. FIRE IN BARN The secon fire occurred About 1 o'clock Sunday after- noon. n-nd caused minor damage to a large barn on the farm of Robert Compton. at Bangor. The fire is believed to have started in a pile of about 200 or 300 bushels of grain which was damp. and which was stor- ed in a 60 foot ell adjoining the main 30 by 90 foot barn. The pile 0 grain was com- pleter destroyed. but the in- terior of the ell suffered onl some scorching as did a portion of the main barn where it con- nected with the ell. . More than 20 head of cattle were in the main barn at the time of the blaze. which we quickly brought under control by More]! fire department. This quick action of the fire- men made it unnecessary for the animals to be removed from their stalls. New Data Pushes...
