s CGLUes Killed
On Chisholm Farm,
In POOIesUiUe Fire

Eight calves were destroyed in a
fire in a bank barn on the Halle
Chisholm farm near Poolesville on
Friday. Damage to the barn and
loss of the hay crop stored the day
before brought firemen's estimates
of damage to $4,000.
Because of the drought the only
water available was in the tanks
on firemen's truck. They used this
to spray large barn only $50 feet
away, while the bank barn, en-
veloped in flames, burned to the
ground.

ride the pony, for last year they
had to wait in line. And wher

while you are waiting you can al
ways play fisherman and snag a
treasure or two. Or maybe some
one will keep your place in the
line while you are refreshed at
the pop or ice cream stand. Those
things appeal to the children but
the adults are not forgotten for il
is always fun to try your luck at
The shooting gallery and do some
extra early Christmas shopping at
the white elephant table. Anyway
you look at it, it is lots of fun,
so come early and stay late and
have good time at the lawn fete
tomorrow night.
