BLEW APART - Great credit must go ta New- castle Scouts and Revers who really had ta put their skill ta work in a hurry on Saturday. They had a log cabin on the rear of a big wagon and while hauling it ta Bowmanville, the wind blew it right off the back enta the road. Uildaunted, they picked up the pieces and put them together again when they arrived here. t T T FIRST PHONE CALL- Former Durhamite, 97 year old W. J. "Billy" Mills of St. Mary's, who cames here ta celebrate his birthday almost every year, was chosen ta make the first phone cail in that municipality when they changed ta a new dial system.

Chapple, son of the late Charles Chapple, farmerly of Orono, a druggist who apprenticed with Stott & Jury be- fore leaving for Bîllings, Montana.
