(Special.) Eighteen head of cattle, two horses and a mule perished in a fire Sunday morning that levelled the two-story barn at the W. H. Goodrich farm on Chittenden Hill near the Clinton-West-brook town line. Also destroyed by the blare were farm equipment, about nine tons of baled hay stored in the barn and the caretaker's car parked beside the building. Six cows and two horses were saved, firemen said.

No official estimate of the loss was available because the owner is in Florida. But Westbrook Fire Chief Albert l'alm said the total will "probably run to many thousands of. dollars." Caretaker Philip Hathaway noticed smoke coming from the building when he came out of the milkhou.se shortly after 7:30 a. m. He ran into the house and asked the operator to summon firemen.

Because the telephone is in the Clinl on exchange. Chief Palm said, the operator summoned the Clinton Volunteer ire Depart ment, instead of Westbrook fire men. Mr. Ilathawawy led eight animals out of the barn before the smoke and fire prevented him from saving any more. Flames swept quickly through the build ing.

Led by Chief George Hull, Clinton firemen fought to keep the blae from spreading to other buildings. Chief Palm arrived ar ter the fire had been out. He said that the cause might have been either faulty wiring or spontan eous combustion. A representative from the State Fire Marshals Of fice will Investigate the fire on Monday, he said. Hoy, 8, Dies in Maze At Home in Fairfield Fairfield, April 11.

He was taken to St Vincent's Hospital in Bridgeport where his condition was reported as fair.

Another of the McCarten chil dren, 15-years-old Janet, fled from the burning house by way of second, story bedroom which opened on a porch. Two men res cued her from the porch. Dave Boone Says Religious leaders of all denominations seem to be rallying behind Right Rev. Charles K. Gilbert's call for swift action toward "a truce with God" that will protect the sacred places of Jerusalem.

United Nations is appealed to, to help, and it seems to me that if it can't obtain an agreement to spare the very places which knew the footsteps of the greatest of all peacemakers it can't do much of anything. A "world desperately In need of a rebuilding of things on the spirit isn't being helped any by a con stant threat to shrines that have been respected for ages.
