Tie storm bit the lake district between Whitby and Port Hope early in the evening and continued almost tilI dawn. Many buildings were s.ruck, trees uprooted and Hydro disorganized. Tbree periods o! intensity znarked the flashes o! sharp light- ning. The first, around 9 o'clocl a p eared to cause little damage. 'e second, at 2 a.m.,. crashe< ,ross the district, setting several lires. The tbird, around 5 a.m., was less severe and littie dam- agr resuited. Sharp at 2 a.m., the Bowman- 'Ville Fire Department was called into action. The men remained on duty until 8 a.m., to- be sure the iast sparks were out in the two lires they were cailed to attend. Naylor Barn The first cali came fromn the farm o! Charles Naylor, two miles west o! Solina. Ligbtning struck the main part of the barn and fire made rapid headway before the lir~e trucks negotiated the rougi 10-mile trip over gravelled foads. The firemen concentrated on sav- ing 9, wing o! the barn and were successfui in doing so. Aside from the loss of the mair structure, a buil and three heifers perished and 26 acres of newly threshed wheat were consumed Save for a quantity that pourec out upon the ground as the siding gave way. Neighbors helped save the pauitry and other tbings thal could be reached before the fiames spread. An estimate of the tatal loss and the amount o! insurance was net reveaied. Mr. Naylor personally coipli- ;nented the Bowmanviile firemen on their fast run and the great job done in saving the wing o! the building. Foliowing usual prac- tice in out of town fires, only sev- qen members o! the brigade with equipment, bandled the Naylor lire. The rest o! the brigade stood on duty at the lire hall in Bow- Inanviile. Mill Struck Shortiy a! ter the Naylor cal camne, an aiarm was rung in from Creaxn of Barley Mil. Aroused by the sharp- lightning, Ai! Shrubb, joint praprietor, saw a flash of flames on the iower floor. He pbaned the aiarm and in a niatter o! minuta1, the brigade was at the scene and in iess than five minutes the lire was put com- l etely out. A boit o! iighting ad traversed a miii spout from top ta bottom and some sacking ,W ignitd Mr. Shrubb told the idU4 thai the firemen made a re- éock un%nd a record job. Thanks to their efficiency there was lit- lie damage. Tyrone Fire Fire Chie! L. Hoaper who dir- ected the brigade throughout the right ,said that the crew on the way ta the Nayior fire saw flames east o! Hampton in the direction o! Tyrone, but no cal came through ta the Bowmanville bri- * gade. * Enquiries Tuesday morning re- 'Vealed that the barn on the farma o! Gardon Baker, Tyrone, was &truck by lightning and the fiames miade such rapid pragress that littie could be done. The barn is reported a total ioss and a herd bull pcrished in the flames. The above compietes- the story as known at the moment o! the dam- age done iocally due ta the night's storm. Last Cali Wbiie the firemen were resting, Tuesday noan, another alarm aroused tbem. A car owned by an American tourist, parked op- posite Dominion Stores, caught lire due ta faulty wiring. Work- mien in Palmer's Garage grabbed a can o! Foamite and doused the flames before the firemen arrived on the scene. The emergency above reported has resulted in great praise for the Bowmanville Fire Depart- ment. But ta be even better pre- pared, Fire Chie! Hooper bas ask- ed The Statesmnan ta republish a lUst af the fire-alarm boxes in town. It will be found in anoth- er coiumn.

Local Boy Scouts Spend Holiday At Camip Samac For the past week Second Troop o! Bowmanville Boy Scouts bave hadl a grand time at Camp Samac, the magnificent Scout Camp es- tablished just north of Oshawa through the generosity o! Col. R. S. McLaugblin, tbree years ago. This is the third year the Bow- manville Scouts have had the privilege o! camping in these grand surroundings. Under supervision o! Scoutmas- ter Fred Stannard the camp was o! eight days' duration and a full program o! scouting was the or- der throughout. Johnny Brooks, junior pressman at The States- man, brought back the following report o! the grand gatbering: Mr. Stannard, the scoutmaster, was born in Delhi, India, and shortly a!terwards le!t that èoun- try ta live at Lowrestoff, Suffolk, En.glaad. A!ter maay years in that country, he came ta Canada. Assisting hlm were Carl Boe, assistant scoutmaster, two Rover Scouts, John Brooks and Jack Munday, and King's Scout Donald Dudley, ail o! Bowmanville. These assistants ran the camp very effi- cientiy, and gave the boys no end o! excitement and fun. No less important was the camp cook, Who had som-ething o! an interesting story ta tell. During the iast war he served in His Ma- jesty's Forces as a cook with the rank o! Sergeant in the Midlaad Regiment at Connaught Ranges Training Camp, near the federal capital, Ottawa. Here he was in charge a! preparing food for the soldiers, and it is very fortunate for this camp that the services o! one so capable have been secured. This- is Mr. Kenneth's second year with the Troop, and he seems quite prepared ta help out again next year. The camp consisted o! 24 Bow- mnanville Scouts and five leaders. They were billeted in 12 tents that were in a large semicircle in the natural amphitheatre in the camp- ing area o! Camp Samac. Each day two boys assisted the cook in bis tasks, while others per!ormed usual camper's task o! airing blan- kets, making camp gadgets in or- der ta make camp life a little eas- ier, and s0 on. Campfire marked the end o! the day. There sing-songs, the occa- sional story and Taps brought toaa close a genuine Scout day. Water- melon, cocoa and cookies made the tasty-be!ore-bed snack and be- fore too long the camp was quiet and another Scout day successful- iy finisbed. Bushels of Peaches On Harry Aliin's Tres Niagara Loses Laurel. The peach crop in Bowmanville this season is counted the best ever grown; at least according ta the1 fine, lone tree in Harry Alîn's yard back o! bis up-to-the-minute corner grocery. Jack Allun grab- bed the reporter Friday, said: 'Came out back and take a look." There, witb its trunk supportýd by a pile o! field stones aitd its burdeaed iimbs propped up with scantlings, stood the tree litcrally groaning with ripening peaches.1 Niagara bas lost its laurels. A fair estimate is a six-bushel crop from thjs slim seven-year-old tree. The story back of this back-yard hybsid is that Ms. Allin tossed a1 peach stone out the back door onj a rainy a!ternoon and next year' a prout appearcd and just cas- îaliy grew and grew like TopSy Last ycar about twa bushels wereý harvested.
