Sty-rick By Plane In Take - Off From

,_~_-

li-veur-old Joules Garirlfum. son of Mr. and Mrs. Jose h Gsrnhum o! Mt. Stewart was k led instantly yesterday afternoon when struck by the propeller oi I. Royal Air rim-cg plane. The machine was taking off from a farmer's field about n. mile from the village when the accident occurred,

Earlier the plane was forced down and damaged somewhat. Mechanics from Charlottetown, where the ma- chine is based, made temporary re- pairs. Meanwhile a crowd estimated B! P10115111? 100 gathered. The Garn- hum boy was one of the spectators

An inquest has been ordered by Dr. I.J. Yeo, coroner of Charlotte-

wn. Unoffielally it was learned the plane apparently swerved in the take-off on the rough field. The boy was struck before he knew what was happening.

Funeral services will be held to- day from the residence of his par- ents. Burial will be in the Mount Stewart People's Cemetery.

The child was an adopted son, it was learned. His father js employ- ed by the firm of Russel Clark.

From officials of the Royal Air Forcn at Charlottetown it was loani- ed that none oi’ the four crew- members in the plans when it was forced down earlier in the dsy were injured. The machine developed me- chanical trouble. Only the pilot

was aboard in the take-off. The s

plane left the field successfully de- spite the accident and arrived back at its base.

to iwcept delive in snyuultcble size or combina ons of sues and get a supply in their bins as soon as possible. - "It is vitally important to Cen- adians that the have their supply bins before winter begins," said Mr. Stewart's state- ment. “Take advantage of the supply and sizes of coal now avail- able and ovoid the hardship that a shortage of ccal ls bound to bring. Do not through neglect or csrecsmess make fuel rationing necessary in Canada."

Fire Sweeps Circus, Kills Many Animals

CLEVELAND, Aug. 4-—(AP)-Flre, terror of the jungle, swept the Ringling Circus menagcrie today. killing two score animals, but to- night the big mp and the midway carried on with all their bright lights and glittering colors,

The flames broke out at noon to- day in the mcnagerie icnt, just as the hands were gathering for lunch.

There were i8 cages and rows of tethered beasts.

In i5 agonizing minutes the tent had burned. cages were charred. the screams of caged “cais" had herald- ed their fierce death, and the rout of eie hants. zebras and camels bod subskPed to a tense quiet.

John Ringlin North estimated the loss at $2 .000, He said a fire officer had told him he believed sgurks from a. train, passing by on t e lakefront. had started the blaze.

O I O I I I I

R that is true if. means that the "lank runny" which Berlin said‘ re- cently was crashing through Russian d-pfenses in thc stepper cast of thi- Kuban has driven fl Spearhead '15 mile; below the Bclaya Glinta-Bnsh- ants line within the last 36 hours. Voroshilovsk lies 30 miles cast of the Kuban; and about the same distance south of its great western bend, on a. line virtually with Armavir.

The armored wedge being driven southward east of the Kuban ls narrowing dangerously. however. The Belaya Glinta-Blislizlntn line to which the Berlin claims referred ls approximately 150 miles in length. The Kuban-Vorshllovsk span is a bare 30 miles. It seems obvious ilizrt an attempt to widen the thrust either westward across the Kuban ur eastward from Voroshllovsk ‘musabe an progress.

A Nari turn westward from Voroshilovsk against Armnvir. coupled with drives to cross the Kuban between that point and the bend. would seem the most probable move. It offers far more opportunity of dealing the Red army of the Caucasus a. smashing blow than would an eastward or further southward surge.

Should Armavlr fall to Germans attacking from beyond the Kulmn to the east, the whole northwest corner of the Caucasus including: the Maikop field might be cut off to the Black Sea and its defending army trapped. It seems clear that desperate Russian attcmnts to hcld the Kublm below the bend must be made. even at the price of giving up more territory below Rostov and Kushnhevka.
