-PÂGZ TWO TUE CANADIAN STATESMAN. BOWMAIqVILLE. ONTAIUO THE CANDIAN SATESMA'THURSDAZ OCT.NTARI A "x 1 " I«I&a Chasing Fire Reels - A Dangerous Local Hobby! How it started we have no idea, but dozens of car drivers in this town have acquired a habit usually attributed ta old fixe horses put out ta pasture. Every time the siren announces a blaze some- where, cars not containing firemen or reporters or cameramen came froin near and far to join in the expedition. They clutter up ail approaches ta the fire hall and ail street exits until'the wonder of it ail is that, lately, nobody has been kiiled during the mad scramble. Saturday about midnight was one of the most typical examples we have seen. Screech went the alarin and hundreds of normally quiet, reas'onable residents of this fair town made a mad dash for their garages. Out scurried the cars from drive- ways ail ove-r town. Then, they *sat at the corners waiting ta see which way the truck would go. No sooner had it pulled away froin the hall and headed west than,- with burning rubber, they tare after it at top speed. There must have been almost a mile of cars speeding along the highway, jockeying for position, trying ta beat the other fellow ta the scene of the conflagra- tion. On Saturday, the scene was supposed ta be north of Courtice, although due to some confusion - another point for a caustic editorial - there was no fire ln evidence when the firemen arrived. While the few firemen on the truck attempted toi locate the blaze, other firemen wha arrived at the hall after the truck departed, had considerable diff iculty wending their way through the maze of cars that blocked the road. Had it been a serious fire, their work could have been seriously handicapped by the delay caused by an overabundance of zealous spectators. Aiso, if the brigade had missed the location, it wouid have been iiext ta impossible for thein ta have turned around and headed back the road. The answer is obviaus of course. While many of us have be-en attending f ires because we have business there, there are many at every blaze who have no responsibility other than that of an interested spectator. We do urge these aid fire horses ta do their champing at the bit ai-id pawing the ground at home sa the f iremen will be able ta do their duty with- out hindrance and so someane won't end up in the cemetery because they raced to a false alarm. The Power of Women - A Potent Force "Neyer underestimate the power of a woman" has been a familiar saying for years, but it was neyer portrayed more clearly than this week when the women of the Solina area, aided and abetted by a few men, raîsed almost $500 for the Sauina Community Hall. How did they do it in ]ess than a week? Weli, there is really no secret. They worked extremely hard, manning a food booth at International Plowing Match near Brooklin and froin morning until night served homemade cooking to the thousands of visitors who attended this most success- fui event. Well arganized froin the beginning, a smail group did the actual servinfi while dozens of those remaining at home perspired aver the traditional hot stoves keeping thein supplied with pies, cakes, doughnuts and other tidbits. One lady, Mrs. Willard Gare, made 3B dozen doughnuts during the week, while over 400 pies were made in local avens and disposed of down the gullets of the hungry hordes. This is the saine kind of community spirit and woman-pawer whîch heiped ta build the first Solina Community Hall which burned a year ago and also was in evidence when their church was coin- pletely renovated. True, the men of the community proved ta be a self-sacrificing group as well, in many cases getting meals for themselves and the kids while fimother" was attending ta her publie duties. But, were it not f or the ladies oP, the Sauina Community - or any comýmun- ity - we doubt if the men would have been able ta complete any one large prai ect. Sa, once again, we take aur hats off ta the ladies, and Jet any man - especiaily a married one - venture ta tell us te aren't all-powerful. te Incidentally, while on the subject of Solina's Community Hall, we should tell you that they will be holding their opening ceremonies, compiete wîth dignitaries, draws, dancing and a variety prograin this Friday - tomorrow night - when you can see these samne ladies enjoying theinselves and helping ta seli tickets on a purebred Shorthorn caif and a Chevrolet se-dan, bath of which will go te saine lucky ticket holder Our Deepest Sympathy for City Dwellers1 This Is the time of ydar when many of us feel sorry for those poçr city dwellers ini their ultra mode-rn apartinents.

There are so many -different kinds of trees, with sa many beautiful colors set, against a background of rolling his and deep-set valleys that for years natives of this area have had difficulty picking aut their favorite beauty spot. Over the weekend, it may have been the warm weathe'r that brought thein out from their centraily heated homes, or the feeling that this might be the iast appor- tunity ta see Durhamn without encaunter- ing snow. Whatever the reason, the- by- ways instead of the highways- increased their traffic as nature-laving citizens made Ia day for exploring the undisturbed riches af aur rural areas. ,For many each new faîl is a revelation. We always seein ta forget what ihe his ]ooked like iast year and certainiy this year although not as vivid as in 1955 they are beautiful in a more subdued way. Driv- ing along, there are niany ather scenes as well as the trees that thrill the mind and spirit.

On one denuded sand bill, there is a huge stump, its roots bared by the eroding winds and rains, until it stands severai feet abave ground iooking like a giant black spider waiking along the white sands.

Rot ary Members Undertake Big Convention Job F'or the f irst time in its history, Bow- manville's Rotary Club, one of the aider ones in the district, has one of its members, Walter DeGeer, as its District Governor. It is extremely proud of this great honour and is now preparing ta f ulf ili the obliga- tions which accompany the position. Next week for two days, hundreds of fellow Rotarians and their Rotary Annes f rom distant points will gather in the King Edward Hotel in Toronto for the -annual convention. Led by the District Governor, Bowmanville Rotary's job wili be to con- duct that convention on high standards built up over many years. Although it is a new experience for the 50-odd members, they, at the moment, are in the final stages of promotion and preparation.
