A. j. DuBeau was elected as ma

Tuesday.
A distressing holocaust at the
farm home of Henry Hellerman,
seven miles east of Sank Centre,
Sunday morning, resulted in the
death of Della Hellerman, II years
old, and Raymond Hellerman, 4
years old. The mother and another
son, Paul, barely escaped with
their lives but not until they, too,
were severely burned. The home
was completely destroyed by the
fire which was caused by an ex-
plosion of kerosene, used to start
a fire in the cook stove.

GOLDEN FLEECE by BERTHA

During the sixty-eight years of
their occupation upon the throne
they sought every means to save
the Empire from dissolution but
the World War and the Emperor's
death in 1916 provided the last cat

or not Theatre" comes up to the
standard Of Maugham's best novel
"Of Human Bondage" yet it Is

her career. Sophisticated irony

for instance. His nimble fingers
have been known to pick up a few
