VOLUME 105 12 Pages BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 3lst, 1959 THROUGH The terrific ice and wind storm that swept Ontarli during the weekend left a glittering crystalized winter wonderland in the district, but wreaked havoc with hydro lines, telephone wires and telegraph service. Crews worked steadily from Sunday afternoon on ta repair damage, and did an amazingly good job under diffîcuit circumstances. Many farmsteads throughout the surroundîng countryside returned ta pioneer times, but most people faced the resultant difficulties cheerfully. In' Bowmanville, damage was comparatively minor. The Bowmanville Public Utilities Commission was able to have the few power breaks in the town repaired by Monday morning. A number of tele- vision aerials were wrecked, some small trees uproot. ed, and a number of branches were broken by ice. Department of Works men worked quickly to clear away the debris, and yeomen work was done in clear- ing snow from the streets and roadls in the town.

Tragic Accident Kilis Cobourg Woman This badly wrecked European car was involved in an accident on Highway 115 Tuesday afternoon, when Kathleen Barrie of Cobourg was killed and several other passengers ini the car su.ffered serious injuries. -Photo Courtesy Oshawa Timies 6 There were Il accidents in the district from Christmas to Monday morning due in the main ta icy and hazardaus con- dition of the roads. The streets of Bowmanville were accident free, but weather conditions in the surrounding area had made the highways and country roads dangerous. The Bowmanville Detachment or the Ontario Provincial Police were kept busy due ta the traffic inci- dents. Fortunately there was only one serlous accident that in- cluded a fatality and several people injured. On Christmas night at Il o'clock a young To- ronto girl, Stravroula Strifobo- la, age 19, was instantly killed in a tragic accident near the Bowmanville Interchange on Highway 401. Miss Striftobola had been a passenger in a car going east on 401. There were 10 young people in the car which struck the island on 401 at the inter- change. The car was flung over the bank and into a field awn- ed by Brookdale-Kingsway Nurseries, where it rolled over. Thrown out, Miss Striftobola met death immediately. The other nine people in the car were taken to Memorial Hospital. The driver of the car was Demitrios Constantinou, age 19, 480 Crawford Drive, To- ronto. He was found ta have sustained lacerations in the ac- cident. He was also treated for shock, and was able ta leave the hospital on Tuesday. Stili being treated at Mem- anial Hospital are five of the passengers. Three others wers released after treatment for minor injuries on the night of the accident. The condition of the following is reported ta be fair, although they suffered a variety of injuries: Harry Par- askevopoulos, age 19, and his 21 year oid wife; Peter Parpery, age 21 and his wife, age 19; and Miss Mary Parpery, age 23. All are from Toronto. The ac- cident was investigated by Constable P. C. Harte-Maxweil, OPP. The first accident on Boxing Day happened in Orono at 9.40 a.m. when ýtwo cars coilided. Constable L. R.

Mistakenly, we suggested that Aunt Mary's ca rd probably wouldn't reach its proper destination. On the day of publica- tion, Mrs. Wesley Lee of Scugog St., Bowmanville, came ta dlaim it. George & Ruth's lasI name is Can- field. She was formerly Ruth Lee of Bowmanville and they now live in Oshawa. The box number should have been 852 and Aunt Mary's last name is O'Connor. The Statesman once more helped ta salve a mystçry. t. i t t t TOP SECRET - At least one Bowmanville repre- sentative in -Canada's Armed Forces didn't have hîs name in the paper while visiting his parents here over the Christmas holiday. One of his superiar officers had suggested that it would be unwise ta publicize his visit due ta security reasan.s. Sounds ta us like someone was just a bit overzealogs in pratecting the nation. However, we are mare than pleased ta cooperate. t t i. t HAPPY CARETAKER - Last July, 13-year-old dog "Teddy" died after faithfully following his master, Bill Ellis throughout his lifetime. The two of them were such a familiar sight along King Street that it just didn't seem right ta see one without the other. On Christmas Eve, some kind friends who remain unidentifîed made the ]ýank of Montreal caretaker the happiest man in town. Just before bedtime, they knocked on Bill's door and presented him with a month old, beautifully marked Collie pup which already has been named "Taby". Bill has been given a new lease on life b-v this mast thoughtful and unex- pected gif t. 1* 1~ T t T REDUCE PRICE - Enjoy the healthy exercise of skating with your family . ..

Nine others in the car were inju.red. Victim was Stavula Striftobola, 19, of Toronto. The auto failed ta negotiate the turnoff which would have taken it into Bowmanville. It jumped over the island, turned. over several times and landed on its top as shown. ThiÉ was one of several accidents in this area over the holidays.
