Bitain's Needs Britain had hoped for wheat, timber and canned fish. Russia wanted heavy machinery, rails and ! ripes. The Moscow Radio asserted | the talks broke down because Bri- i liveries and because credit terms could not be reconciled. The British delegation headed by J.

He did not mention the Moscow Radio report, which a spokesman for the board of trade cglled "very Russian-sided."

Peter Kegels and Arthur Decaluwe, on a fishing expedition at Turkey Point perished when their small fishing craft filled with water and overturned. In the same boat were Andrew Kegels, 30, of R.R., Simcoe, brother of one of the victims and Clifford Hayward, 20, of Windsor who were rescued. The quartet had put into shore when a squall threatened them and later they resumed their fishing. A second squall that struck with equal force endangered hundreds of fish- ermen along the lake and caused the tragedy. The same storm caused unesti- mated damage to crops as it pum- meled and flattened many acres of corns and hay throughout the coun- tryside. With it too, came lightning that struck, fired and destroyed a barn on the farm of John Bishop a mile south of Barrie. The livestock and farm implements were saved but all the hay was lost. .. . At Mount Dennis, near Toronto, another bolt of lightning struck the residence of Phillip Lavender and caused two separate fires. "I thought the whole house was going to blow up," Lavender said. "It was a terrible bang, just like dynamite. It was worse than any bomb I ever heard overseas." Twenty years ago, in a similar storm, the Lavender home was struck by lightning and two weeks ago Vernon Lavender, a son of the family, claimed he saw sparks from lightning shoot across one of the rooms. From most parts of Southern On- tario came reports of trees uprooted by the violent winds that accomp- anied the storm.

Roads were block- {ed by fallen trees and several in the | Toronto area were closed to traffic as civic employees attempted to clear the debris.

The Mirror, a strong supporter of Labor, asserted that Attlee had "devised a cabinet system which merely 'passes the buck' to govern- ment departments" and complained that "there is mo constant central control of the gover: nt." "His cabinet should go," The Mir. ror said editorially. 'So should Mr. Attlee. The need for a change... is obvious and urgent." The responsibility for a change, the paper added, rests with the 390 Labor Members of Parliament, who have called Attlee to a caucus Wed- nesday to give an account of his stewardship. eholidayer. One house in the city was struck by lightning and a barn near Enniskillen was destroyed by fire yesterday morning. While rain fell throughout the day, Oshawa's most severe electrical storms came at approximately two and six o'clock in the morning. Lightning at 2 a.m. struck the chimney of J. W. Heath's residence, 351 Colborne Street East and con- siderable damage was caused by the heavy rain which beat in. The house did not catch fire, however. Silo Struck | A large barn on the farm of | Bruce Montgomery, about 10 miles {north-west of Bowmanville, was completely destroyed by fire when lightning struck the silo shortly af- ter 10 a.m. The building, nearly full of hay, was soon a mass of flames which made any attempt to save the struc ture of no avail.
