YABlVlOUTI-I, N. S., July 2-Carrying his campaign into Nova Scotia, ‘Hon. R. B. Bennett addressed large rallies at Digby and at a later hour here tonight. Old Age Pensions and the Duncan Report on Maritime rights engaged the chief attention of they Conservative Leader at both meetings.

“If the Conservative Government succeeds on July 28 and I have every reason to believe it will,” Mr. Bennett exclaimed, “I will see to it that Old Age Pensions- are paid to every Province of the Dominion from the Federal Treasury." That is my answer to a Prime Minister who is not concerned with the importation into Canada of Russian coal and New Zea- iand butter: that is my answer to a Prime Minister who says the payment of money to the provinces in Old Age Pensions is a vicious principle. It is a national obligation. Premier King says it cannot be done constitutionally. If the Dominion can pay fifty percent of Old Age Pensions, why cannot it pay 99 percent?

Tonight Mr. Bennett spoke in the interests of Mayor J. M. Walker, who is opposing the Minister of National Defence, Hon. .1. L. Ralston, in Yar- mouth-Shelbourne. at Dtgby earlier he supported H. B. Short, who has

The Central Garage, owned and operated by Mr. Ray Sudsbury, Ken- stngton, went up in flames Tuesday nightJulyLThehrewessisewa- ed by Mr. sudsbury who, when he turned off the light in the office, discovered fire in the office and main building. The alarm was immediately given, and all available fire fighting apparatus was at once on the scene. Every effort was put forward to save the building, but without avail. A strong wind was blowing, but car- ried the flames away from the ad- joining buildings. IProm the time the first alarm was given, until the whole structure was in embers only twenty- fivs minutes had passed. Agents who had done business with Mr. Sudsbury have said that he had one oi the best equipped garages in the llfari- tlmes. It is the intention oi Mr. Sudsbury to replace the plant as soon as possible. In the meantime he will continue to handle gasoline and oils.
