Ontario, Northumberland and Durham Police Association fo Publish New Magazine Port Hope--Sept. 16--A new ma-! gazine, "The Siren", will be published this year by the Ontario, Northum- berland and Durham Police Associa- tion, IR. J. O'Brien, of Port Hope, president of the association, announ- ced today. The first issue will go to press December 1, and thereafter two issues will be published annually, he said. "We have two main objectives in starting 'The Sirven'", Constable 0' Brien said, "-- to acquaint the public with the activities of the police and the association in the area, and, through the sale of advertising space, to build up a benevolent fund for the families of local police officers to he drawn on in case of death or-disabi- lity." The association will continue to raise funds by sponsoring dances and other social activities, he said. "The Siren", whose blue and gold cover will bear the emblem of the association, will contain articles on matters of general public interest, not necessarily connected with police af- fairs. It will be distributed free to schools, libraries and scouting organ- izations, and will depend for its re- venue on advertising. Constable O'Brien said the idea of publishing an association magazine was first suggested by Chief Archie Menzies, of the Port Perry Police, and was adopted at a recent meeting of the executive. The tri-county association, which draws its membership from the police forces of Colborne, Cobourg, Camp- bellford, Port Hope, Bowmanville and Port Perry, as well as the provincial police detachments at Whitby, Bow- manville and Cobourg, plans to con- | tinue its contribution to worthy com- munity activities, the president said. In 1957 the policemen donated $150 to the boy scout asociations of Bow- manville, Port Hope and Cobourg. "The Siren" will be published at the office of the Port Perry Star, and Irving Boyd, editor of that newspaper, will serve as its editor. It is expeec- ted that members of the association will write most of the articles in the publication, but contributions from outsiders will be printed occasionally as well. "We are sure that with the Support | and cooperation of local adminis "The Siren" ean perform a real ser- Jos ¥ Fidelity Lodge Honors Member 'At the regular meeting last week the members of Fidelity Lodge, ALF, & AM. honoured one of the senior mem- bers, William C.

First attempts to remove the Jaree tank, by a score of men on a rope, failed. A tractor was brought and the cooler was hauled to safety, only seconds before flames burst through where men had stood to fasten ropes to the unit.

John [Batty said, and a horse barn and a cattle barn had been added to this building. Also lost was a stock pen, near the south end of the main barn. Two silos were destroyed. A breeze from the north-west kept flying embers away from the house, [which is directly north of the barn, Lost in the barn, said Mi.

This included about 7000 bales of hav, H000 bushels of rain, and about 1000 bales of straw, said neighbours. Firemen estimated the loss at SRo.000. It was considered to be ono of the best equipped barns in the town- ship. Part of the loss is covered by insurance. The flames, visible from Brougham to Oshawa, drew literally hundreds of spectators. At one time, cars lined hoth sides of Highway 12 from Grove- side Cemetery to the village of Brook- lin. . Later in the night, the Vary young calves were taken to neighbouring farms for shelter, About 60 other cattle and four other horses were out on pasture at the time of the fire Firemen believed the fire may have started from spontaneous combustion.
