A VOL. IX wy - i Quibell WHAT is considered as ona of the greatest losses that hag ever occurred in the district "happened, Wednesday evenig when the fine new consolidated Quibell school was burned "to the ground © 5 - The "building, a handsome struct- ture. which combined the consolidated school, and Quibell Community Hall was valued at more than twenty-five thousand dollars. It was declared up- on the time of opening, which strang- ely enough" "happened to be the first Wednesday in July, 1927, to be the finest, most up to ee and complet- ely equipped school in the whole dis- triet, and was the result of years. of planning and hard work, for the task of financing was no easy matter for so small a community. | The distress sing feature is the fact that the building was no! insured so dar as can be ascertained from in- formation received from the trus- tees, so the loss is indeed a tremend ous one for people to face. | The cause of the fire is not yet known. It was well away when the 'residents awoke Wednesday morning 'and was still burning at three o'clock 'the same afternocn while the resid- ents looked helplessly on, as there is no system to fight fire with in the village. _ { rd p THE PENNY BANK-- We were surprised to.learn {som the Penny Bank Headquarters that since its inauguration in the local Public "School the sum of $1,214.69 has been "deposited by the pupils, ; with -the- Penny Bank.
