A ^ Lightning Fired Bam On Portlaw Farm (By Portlaw Reporter) A severe electric storm struck this area on Wednesday night, Apail 23rd, at about 2:15 a.m. The bam on the farm of Herb Badgerow, and rented by Chris. Lougheed, was struck by lightning and was burning when Lawrence Shder was awaikened and saw the reflection of the fire on the wall in the house. He hurried out, taking water with him and had the fire under control enough to go for help to Wes Plantt's, who went dow" with him and Lewis Fis'her was call- ed. By this time the fire was' break- ing out at tihe opposite side of the bam and the men worked hard in an effort to keep the fire from spread- ng, by canrying water. Laurence Shier's buildings are very close and no doubt in a few more minutes the buildings would hava been in a blaze. Great credit is due these men who fought to save the barn.

Hand & Electric Separators in stock Jos. Sewell Went Over Flume At Nuhn's Pond Mr. Jos. Sewell of town was both lucky and foatunate that he escaped serious injury whe« he fell from the Nuhn dam into the rushing woter and carried ovei- the spillway into the river below the dam, without suffering serious injury. He was indeed foi"tunate that his head did not hit the stones and lucky that he was not drowned. Mr. Sewell is employed at the Nuhn woollen mall and had arrived early at work. Seeing that the water in the dam was high, he wt :l up to take out a board at the sPiUway. -^n some manner tihe pike-pole slippjd and he missed his balance and fell into the water near where he had taken out te board and i:!he foixie of the water pushed hLn over the boards and into tihe river below. H- pulled himself from the water sever- al yards down stream, none the worse for his immersion. When Howard Teeter arriwed for work he found the door open, but nobody around and investigated, finding tihe pole in tihe river below the dim-. Mr. Nxihn arrived then and a search was made of the water, but the missing per- son could not be found. He was located at his home changing into dry clothes, but he was minus his glasses, which were lost in the water. It was an experience bhat Joe will not soon forget.

Mc- Leod, Director of the Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch, Ontario Depart- ment of Agricuture, in discussing the crop plans for Ontario for tihe year 1947. "I want to urge our far- mers as strongly as possible to fill up their bins in li947. It is desir- able and essential that we produce an abundance of feed grain. A min^ imam objective of 200.000,000 bush- els has been set. In 1«42. Ontario produced 191,824,!i64 bushels ot grain. If we can increase our yields per acre this ye^r by one and a hall bushels, we can reach our objective.'"
