[" 1 99 64 Voice Of The Pontiac Shawville, Quebec, Thursday, September 15, 1955 By Subscription No.14.73rd Year LIGHTNING TAKES HEAVY TOLL IN PONTIAC : o Mines Minister W.M.Rotary Governor Cottingham GuestOf Lions Visits Shawville 3 Local Barns Burn In Saturdays Storm and his neighbors stood helpless as the barn, a nearby log barn, a log stable and a large machine shed burned down.Total value of the buildings burned including the 90 ton of hay and machinery has been estimated at $8,000.No stock was directly destroyed in any of the fires but it is likely that cattle will have to be disposed of due to the loss of the hay.The storm, flashing across the area like an angry whip, brought with it hailstones of a size to smash windows and rip apart electrical connections.Power failed for varying periods in and around Shawville and some phones were put out of order.Allen Woods reported thirty windows broken; Emery Elliott and James Barber each reported fifteen broken in the Zion Section.Total rainfall during the storm is reported to be 2.36 inches.Total rainfall for the months of June, July and August here has been 6.2 inches.Standing in the downpour, watching their lightning-struck barns burn down occupied a large number of district farmers last Saturday night.No amount or rain and hail could stop the blazing barns as the wind whipped the fires to tremendous heights and exceeding heat prevented anyone from coming dose lor many hours.Sunday morning and through the day.winter feed i ipplies were still smouldering.Total losses can not be' estimated m dollars as in some cases stock will have to be reduced on account of lack of hay.The rebuilding of stock strength involves unredeemable expense.First bam to be hit by lightning I in the flash storm which forced the big Shawville Fair to an untimely close was the frame structure owned by Melvin Stanley of North Onslow.about six miles east of Shawville.The barn and Mels entire hay crop burned down to the ground.Neighbors from the area came to help but nothing could be done.At about nine o'clock, the barn on Bristol third concession belonging to Clifford McLarnon was struck.Cliff was at the Fair and when he went over to the Lions Booth he was hailed by Charlie ; Irnison and told the terrible news, i By the time Cliff got to the site, the barn was well away and, as in In honor of Mines Minister W.M.thcr discussion was

experts have set a maximum limit of 53,000 pounds for any vehicle.However, limits were scaled to the size of the vehicles, since a five-ton load in a small truck found to do more harm than a heavier load in a truck capable Hunt.The following information may be of interest to those who would like to know more about Girl Guides and Brownies.The Movement was begun by Lord Baden-Powell.founder of the Boy Scouts, who was assisted in adapting the Scout program to the needs of girls first by his sister and later his wife, the present Lady Baden-Powell, Chief Guide of the World.The aims and ideals of the movement are much the same as those of the Boy Scout Movement.However the two are completely separated organizations in Canada and internationally.Guiding is world-wide in scope with Guides, Brownies and Rangers in many different countries In recent years Guides and Guide leaders have attended international camps and conferences in Canada, United States, Sweden, Africa and elsewhere.Guides are for girls between the ages of 11 and 16 inclusive.The company in Shawville meets at the Scout Hall, Monday\u2019s from 7 to 830 p.m, (occasionally 8.45).The leaders are Miss
