Now, we're rigbt back where we started." How the fire started, nobody knows, but in minutes it burned tbrough the dry 80x40 barn and adjoining sheds, destroying two mows of loose hay, il sows, one Landrace hog, tbree cows, 12 calves, 400 bus. of grain, 15 or 20 hens, a wagon spreader and a bammermili, geese and ducks. His 16-year-old sons Jens xvas almost trapped when he tried unsuccessfully to f ree some of the cows. Mr. Sorensen bad j ust returned f rom work and was chang- ing bis clothes when the blaze started. He donned trousers, rubber boots and bat and is shown here looking over the debris. Tbere is some insurance. No f ire department would answer their calîs for belp because Clarke Township stili bas not completcd an agreement for fire protection. ____ 1igh School Expansion Problems Second Vocational Schoà'l May Be Needed in Durham By Stan Gauthier in the Durham County expect enrol- vocational school will be need- Peterborough Examiner ment to go up about 200 this ed in the western portion of The five high schools Jn ear with almost haif of the the county. rncrease going into Port Hope Clear evidence of the dis- READYFORh Sehool. tance barrier was shown in Jump in enromnatPt this year's enrolment figures.

On Saturday, the late ar- rivai of the N.H.L. Ail-Stars didn't help eîther, because many of the huge crowd that had gathered for a six ociock bail game between the pros and the newly formed Junior softbafl team, ieft as soon as the first drops of rain Ml about 7 o'ciock. When the game finally got underway, it was raining quite heavily and more of the crowd ÇJ3ts andi had headed eisewhere. The umpires tried to, cal the game in the second innings but players wouid have none of that and asked to be allowed to continue. Fortunately, the weather improved, but the game didn't produce the best bail playing. Pitchers were handicapped and players found themselves sliding ail over the place in the mud. The young fry did have a good time, sobtaining autographs from their favorite stars, Bob Baun, Ed- sdie Shack and others. Incident- 1ally, the visitors won .7-2 after four innings. tAt one time, carnivai offic- 1 (TURN TO PAGE TWO) 9)eces FACE LIFTING - Bowmanville's Town Hall bas been receiving considerable attention the past couple of weeks as new metal flashing bas been installed around the upper regions of the masonry work.
