A fire broke out on Monday ev-
•ening' about ten o'clock in the drive
shed on the farm of Dr, Moffatt. The
blaze,
,apparently originated in the
southeast side, and when noticed had
gained such headway on account of
.a stiff breeze from the southeast that
for a time it appeared that all the
four barns with contents of hay, cat-
tle, horses, implements and grain,
would be a total loss, but due to the
heroic work of the neighboring farm.
.ere and the villagers, who immediate-
ly came to the rescue with pails,
trucks, tennis and 'water tanks, the
fire was restricted to the drive shed,
which was entirely destroyed. The
:flames in the meantime, however,
seethed the horse stable and' chaired
some of the siding but did no rnaterirt
'damage to this or any of the other
buildings. 'Dr. Moffatt was at home
in London when notified about 10:45
p,m, of the fire. He immediately got
'Clinton Central by long distance
phone andsent out a hurried call for
assistance to all friends and neigh-
'hors around Varna and. then motored,

did not require permanent help in
the future end advertised his live

the right class or' suitable for this
type of farming. The fire therefore,
came as a .great shock to him, The

THOSE WHO MAY VOTE
There has been some discussion in
labor circles as to who can vote in
municipal elections The election act
has not been changed. Both the own-
er and tenant of a property can vote
on that property if it is worth $2,000
or in a town of 3,000 and over, $3,000.
No others have the right to vote.
Married women. have had the right to
vote on their property for several
years But the franchise is extended
to all persons of 21 years and over,
only at the Lbgislative elections. The
property qualifications for councillors
have been removed, however, and any
citizen is eligible for the office.
