A fire started in the granery shortly after noon and the farm warkers tried to fight it for some considerabie time before cailing the Bowmanville Fire Dep artm en t. The aiarm was sounded at 3 o'cioek, and the firemen res- ponded immediately. They found the fire had gained quite a headway among the grain. They set ta work to remove al the grain f rom the building. This was a difficuit and tedious j ob. 1 ÇI3ts n FRONT PAGE EDITORIAL 44 The Faîl and Winter season of the Women's Canadian Club will get under way on Monday, October 20, with a speaker of particular interest to this local- ity.

With the season (three weeks this year) only a few days old, residents in many parts of the town- ship have experienced everything from insuits to considerable danmage to their property. They are becoming fed up very quickly, and councillors have been receiving telephone caTis and letters complaining about the sheer brass and vandalism of the "hunters". Reeve Roy W. Nichais points out that the $3.00 license fee for outsiders and $1.00 license for residents of the township does NOT give anyone the right to tramp across private property, doing as much damage as possible. The license is merely a perthit to hunt. Private property belongs ta the person who owns it. In one reported incident, hunters had a dog which, apparently, wouldn't run the pheasants well enough to satîsfy its masters, so they tied it ta a post and shot it, leaving the body where it fell. Such stupid actions could well resuit in cancel- lation of ail hunting privileges in the township next year. It's the aid, old story of a fe-w irresponsible persons ruining everything for the majority. When will they grow up?
