FEBRUARY 3.196510e ~Per ConvTT1ff' ..JÂuÂlD.Lzjim Last week, one of this town's historic buildings was wrecked to bring back memo ries of Bowman- ville's glorious past. It was the brick structure im- mnediately west of Cowan Equipment Co., occupied for many years by Dave Alldread's machine shop. The Editor contacted former Corner Grocer Harry Allin who will be 87 years old on March lst,. for dletails. lie recalled that it was built by the Durham Rue~er Company near the turn of the century and usglà for making liquid cement. They also had a plant behind it where they produced rubber products.

This plan is now funetioning. It was rcported that last Sun- S ~ .~,day evening memnbers met in ~.14 homes for discussion and study. (TURN TO PAGE TWO) Charles L.

Wal- lace Haw suffered $15.000 loss by a fire that was difficuit to bring under control. Fortunately, no funerals were in preparation at the time. Until such time as repairs are completed, the blaze will cause considerable inconvenience to bereaved Millbrook and area families. While the subject is far from facetious, oui' mischievous side couldn't belp wondering what wiil happen to the several caskets damaged bv smoke and water. They could be quite a problem. Tt t SHAME - Down Port Hope way, the local inter- mediates were engaged in a hockey playoff game with long time rivaIs Cobourg. As always, there was a scî'ap near the end of the garne wvith the score 6-3 for Port Hope. The Ref John Sadowski skated toward the penalty box to give details of his penalties when an irate fan hit bim in the face with a cup of hot coffee. He called the game and awarded it to Port Hope. Cobourg fans baven't changed much. We can well recaîl playing goal in that fair town a long time ago when the rink boards resembied a picket fence. We wore a foot- ball helmet, partly for protection from opposing players, partly to fend off attacks from the rear by fans with pea shooters and, we suspect, the odd sling shot. T t t t tI HASSLE - Recently, a move to construct a large $1,295,000 jail to service the counties of Durham and Northumberland, Peterborough and Victoria came into the open in an announcement from the provincial reform authorities. This has aroused considerable animosity in the United Counties because they recently completed a $50,00O reno- vation program at the mail in Cobourg and, at the moment, it doesn't appear that anyone is of- fering to reimburse themn for the effort. The Editor of the Cobourg Sentinel-Star has written a forthright editorial on the subject that appears in this edition. As taxpaying contributors to the affair, area citizen sbould hi' interested. Tt t POPULAR - A news rcleasc from a well-known insurance company won't be too popular among high school students. A study of 20,000 high school students disclosed that the more students used a car during the week, the poorer their grades were. They will also be grieved to lcarn that drivers in the 15-24 age group have an accident and death rate nearly double that of older driv- ers. t f t t 1 TAXI - An advertisenient in tlîis issue annournces that a new taxi firm is in operation bere, with several vehicles to provide service to customers. Owner is Herbert Knapp, who for many years bas operated the Base Line garage and towing service. t T t t PROMOTED - Garnet B. Rickard, Progressive- Conservative candidate for Durham in the last federal election was inadvertently given quite a boost in the January 27th edition of the Picton Gazette. His picture appeared over an article about the Hon. Alvin Hamilton, agriculture min- ister in the former Diefenbaker government. .. t t t FROM THE NORTH- Former Statesman staff member, John Virgin, is certainly getting around these days. He is the son of Mrs., and the late A. R. Virgin who was Supt. of the Boys Training School here. John is now with the Public Relations f irm of Harry Savage & Associates, Toronto, and sends a card from Whitehorse in the Yukon that incidentally mentions that some lucky delegate to the Cdn. Restaurant Assn. show in Toronto, starting March 22 will win a trip to the Land of the Midnight Sun. For our money, that's a novel but sneaky xvay of publicizing the affair. t t t NEW MEMBER - Maurice Prout, 91 High St., was sworn in as a member of Town Council last week to fill the vacancy left by the death of Carl J. Leslie. He is also on the hospital board and a long term eniplovee of Goodyear here. Ian Smith of Brookdale-Kingsway Nurseries who was next in line for the position, failed to quali/'y in the specified time. 5 Heavy Property Damage in Newcastle Accident ] For '65 Meetings!
