Lindsay Mon Dies UIn Crash Near Orono Fire Chief Frank calver and seven other members of the Bowmanville Volunteer Fire Brigade, and one of its fire trucks helped fight the tremendous l ire in Oshawa on Tuesday evening and in the early hours of Wednesday morn- ingr. They returned home shortly after 5 a.m. The cali for assistance came to the Bowmanville f iremen at 8 p.m. It is believed the large fire which destroyed about 10 shops on Simcoe Street South and Athol Street started in Fashion Village, a ladies' wear shop. It was a hard fight to contain the f ire and prevent it spreading toalal the buildings in the block. It was kept fromn reaching farther than hall way up Sîmcoe Street between Athol and King Streets. Firemen from Whitby, Ajax, Pickering and Brooklin assisted with Bowmanville firemen and the Oshawa f ire fighters. Hundreds from this area were spectators at the blaze with many more driving to Oshawa on Wednesday to view the ruins. -P in.lt( SAJtf .pqJ tJçhaVV.% Timpt i A man was killed in a col-- later iii the month. lision between two cars on At the time of the acident 115 Highway at the Taunton the driver of the second car u urai AA,-irecc RoaO- north of Orono on Sun- involved, Jam~es King,28 nu day evening at 7:40 p.m. Ern- Gerrard Street, Toronto, was, est Jackson, age 63, Littie northbound on Highway 115.

ROONI FOR M~ORE - In last week's Bits and Pieces column we încluded an appeal for ice skates whieh had been iaunched by King Whyte. The parade started ta Palmer Motor Sales on Friday and has been contînuing ever since, with the pile of skates growing quite high. However, there is still room for many more, so if you have a pair of skates in the cellar and na use for them, pack them along ta Palmer Motor Sales and some Indian or Eskimo youngster in Northern Ontario wili find a good use for them. JOKE - "Daddy, I have ta write a composition proving the white man's superiority over the Indian. Can you help?" "'Fraid I can't help you any, son. When the white man took over the country, the Indians were running it. There were no taxes, no traffic, na debts, no long-winded commercials, and the women did ahl the work. You can't improve on a system like that, my boy." Deputy Chief Tom Lyle Fire Chief1 Fire Chie!
