1t took 80 touring cars and two
busses to transport the combined Sun
day Schools of St. Paul Methodist

testant, to Colchester Beach. 1t was
a big day for the young folks and a
delightful time was had.

During the electric storm which
passed over this vicinity Saturday af-
ternoon a bolt of lightning struck the
grainery of Malcolm Burris on his
farm near town and set the building
on fire. The alarm was given and
Clayton and Smyrna fire companies
responded, but before they got there
the fire was extinguished by water.
The electric bolt had followed tram
way, ripped off a board and started a
blaze. Quick action prevented a con-
fiagration.
