THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, BOWMANVILLE, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2?, 1930 PAGE T!m 'I DURHAM REGflMNTALu BALL SURPASSES ALL EXPECTATIONS Large Crowd Attends Brillant Dance at Newcastle Community Hall- Grand Miarch Very Colorful Durham Regment held its seconid annual Bail on Friday evening. The Newcastle Community Hall was the attractive setting, with J. Stanley St. John and his superb orchestra in charge of the music. The Regimental band, clad in their bright uniforms, led the colorful march. while the guests forsned a picturesque train. The lengthy pro- cession paraded around the large shining dance floor to the familiar strains of 'John Peel." Af ter the grand march the orches- tra broke into a gay fox trot and the dancing began. Colored lights were thrown on the scene and the vani- colored gowns of the ladies and the many uniforms of blue, scarlet and khaki made a stiking picture. Long strings of bright bailoons were hung over the heads of the dancers and suddenly they floated into the air to fail agaîn like spray on the ses, upon the heads of the guests. Then the f un began. Ev- .eryone was out in a wild endeavour to break the nearest balloons and lfor some time the popping sounded like a barrage. The Rye Waltz was enjoyed to the fui with everyone hopping about ini great fashion. Then came the nov- elty dance and glaring hats of the most grotesque shapes made their appearance and soon ail the bobbmng heads were covered in what present- 'cd qulte a spectacle. The supper waltz followed and over two hundred of the guests trooped merrily to the basement where a tasty lunch was served by the New- castle ladies. The tables were set in long rows and attractively decor- ated with the appropriate red, white and blue. There were so manY guests that two servings were neces- sary, and while the second serving was taking place the orchestra play- ed two extras. Thirteenth on the scale was a bam dance, but as many of the guests were flot overly familiar with the intricacies of the art of this number the dance was, after a f ew unsuccessful attempts, changed to a fox trot. It was the popular verdict that tUls bail was one of the most successful held in the Community Hall. There were over two hundred couples pres- ent ana a smaller floor would have been entirely inadequate for their needs. Mainly responsible for the ar- rangements of the dance were Major Wllbur J. Hoar, chairnian; Captain A. H. Bounsail, and Lieut. N. S. Stewart. Some of the offilcers present in- cluded: General W. B. Anderson, General Omfcer Comnianding Mili- tary District No. 3, of Kingston; Col. Job, of Oshawa; Col. Earchman, of Brighton; and Col. R. J.

NEWTONVILLE UNITED CHURCH DESTROYED BY PIRE eConflagration Razes Church, Sunday School and Driving Shed - Loss Estimated $15,000 - Bowmanvile and Port Hope Fire Brigades Re- j spond to Cali Only the grim bare walls and smouldering debris teil the tale of a 1disastrous conflagration at Newton- ville, early Sunday morning hc razed the United Church, the Sn day school. a large frame driving Shed and barns, and at times threat- ened the school andi community hall. 1 The loss is conservatively estimated! at $15,000 andi the insurance is plac- ed at $3,500. The fire had gained greai headway! when it was discovered and the cf - forts of a bucket brigade proved futile. The flames were fanned by a strong west wind and had it been blowing in the opposite direction it is altogether likely the entire village would have been wiped out. -The parsonage, situated 25 feet south of the churcli, was saved from destruct- ion as the bueket brigade kept the roof from igniting. Pumpers Lack Water At 12.10 o'clock Sunday morning emergency calls were despatched to the Port Hope and Bowmanviile fire departments. The pumpers made record runs, but were handicapped by the lack of water. The contents of the chemnical tanks were exhausted, but had little effect on the blaze. Wells were pumped dry in a f ew min- utes and the villagers were forced to stand helplessly by. Moveable parts 0f the buildings were saved, such as chairs, pews. books, etc. The fire originated in the haybr and spread to the drlvlng shed. The Sunday school building, attached to the main building, next ignited and had there been water pressure the churcli edifice could have been easily .saved, but the fiames ate their way under the roof and attacked the steeple. The Communlty Hall and school. sltuated 100 yards in the rear, were not destroyed. Pails of water were dashed on the roof of the hall and sparks burned two small holes in the school roof. Village Threatened Rev. T. Wallace, pastor of the chturcli was awakened at mldnlght by people runnlng past the parsonage shouting fire. It is believed that the fIre was started in the hay barn by tramps who Uad taken shelter for the night. Rev. Wallace's car, asi well as one owned by H. Alexander, were pushed out of the blazing sheds. Rev. Wallace, who lias been i charge for nine years, and who lab- ored i carrylng materlal from the fiames, said that the church was erected slxty-elght years ago, and the Sunday school. forty years ago. The church had been rebuilt a few years ago and had been completely reno- vated In 1926. Last September a furnace had been installed as well as electrlc wiring. Off ens were made to the homeles congregation to liold services In the village Presbyterlan Church. Rev. Wallace said that a meeting of the board would be cailed and that re- construction would be started at once.
