Implement Building Struck By Lightning New Liskeard firemen fought a stubborn blaze at Labonte Seed Mill last Friday, and required masks before they could move hoses : through heavy smoke to reach. the source of the fire. Fire 'started when the big quon- set type implement building was struck (by lightning during a heavy thunderstorm, and fire and smoke worked through the walls of the building into a loft filled with grease-loaded machine parts stor- ed in cartons. Machinery and equipment were moved from the main part of the building by mill staff and private citizens. Seventeen firemen under Chief Les Stewart fought the blaze for more than an hour. Chief Stewart thought that a lightning bolt that struck the south-west side of the building had ignited tarpaper insul- ation which fed the fire to support- ing rafters, floors and oil-soaked cartons. The large seed mill and offices of the company were never threat- ened by the fire. No estimate of the damage has been released.

District Liberal Association | Ready for Bye-election Fight At a_special meeting of the Tem- iskaming Liberal Association held at the Bye-Election Campaign Headquarters in New Liskeard, the executive appointed committee heads for three-cornered fight for the Temiskaming seat in the Pro- vincial Legislature. The 'nomination committee is headed by Al Kenyon, credential committee, Paul O'Reilly and the convention committee, Mrs. John Damiani of Cobalt. Assisting with the meeting was Ernie Savard; who was campaign manager for Elmer Sopha, who made a successful bid for the pro- vincial seat in Sudbury. Mr. Savard spoke of the import- ant aspects of party work which lies immediately ahead, and which must -have co-ordination of the biggest order. He referred to public opinion polls, indicating unmistakable and continuing decline of popular sup- port for John Diefenbaker and Leslie Frost, and which also show a corresponding rise in strength of the Liberal Party. "Considering the kind of govern- ment the Canadian people have been getting, it would be strange if the public polls did not show a changing balance in political at titudes of the people federally and provincially,'"' he said. Mr. Savard also said that "Indif- ferent government is not the only factor bringing these changes. Our leaders, Mr. Pearson:and Mr. Win- termeyer have had a great deal to do in bringing them about? "Their leadership in the House of Commons and in the provincial legislature, the work of the Liberal opposition, their relentless tours across the country and their pub- lic appearances have registered with the people.' "We in Ontario started this tide of change, in last year's provincial election by doubling our represent- ation," said Mr. Savard, "and this was followed by the wonderful news of Liberal victories in Que- bec and New Brunswick." "We must now move with more vigor to back up these successes by every possible means,'"' he con- cluded.
