SCHOOLS LIKELY T0 OPEN SEPTEMBER 6 Board of Education Likely to Give Pupils Extra Week Due to Labor Day Schoal days for Oshawa high and public school students are drawing near, but it is extremely probable that the Board of Education will, at its next meeting, authorize another week's vacation for pupils. September. this year, begins on Thursday. If school began promptly on that day, organiza- tion would be interrupted by the week- end holidays and Labor Day on Mon- day. The opening day. therefore, will probably be set forward to Tuesday. September 6. Secretary I. A.

Fire Causes Destroying Buildings on the Farm of Campbell Stone --Believed to Haye Been Due to Exploding Lantern --Less Than Half of Loss Covered By Insurance (By a Staff Reporter) Port Perry. Ont., July 25.--One of the most spectacular fires in the history of this district destroyed three barns and a crib on the farm of Campbell Stone, two miles north of Greenbank om the Provincial Highway. An exploding lantern is believed to have been the cause of the blaze which did $7000 dam- age, less than half of which is coy- ered by insurance. This is the second big barn ire in the Greenbank District this month. A $6000 barn owned by H. McMil- lan was struck by lightning or the night of July 6, and burned to the ground. The origin of the fire is only a matter of conjecture. Mr. Stone went out to stable his cattle shont- iy after 9 o'clock Sunday evening. He left a lighted lantern in the barn while he went to the nearby pas- ture. $7,000 Loss in Three Barns and Crib Are Burned on Greenbank Farm he returned the building It is presumed that the lantern exploded. There 're only three loads of straw in Lhe barn at the time and balf a load of hay. Built some time ago, the first barn's timbers fell an easy prey to the fiames and in turn, spread the fire to adjoining barn buildings. The buildings destroyed were of frame construction on stone foun- dations. One being 40 by 70 feet apother 40 by 60 and the third 40 by 16. A crib 16 by 24 feet was also destroyed. The house. favored by prevailing winds, was not in any great danger. Neighbors throughout the district assemblpd to give what aid they could, which centered chiefly on sav- ing the farm house. The conflagration was extreme- spectacular. A clear, starlit framed the mounting flames which cast a lurid glare over 25 miles of countryside. It was after midnight before it was felt that the Stone farm house was out of dan- ger. Mr. Stone lost heavily in equip- ment including a gasoline- engine, grinder, separator, and pulper, and a quantity of tools.. Mr. Stone plans to he rebuild a part of his barn plant at once.
