Volume 99 THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17th, 1963 Number 4 - Break Glass On Fire Alarm Box. 2 Electrocuted Call Firemen Saturday Morning A Oshawa Plant -On two occasions over the! past week-end firemen were | called out, and in both cases pranksters had meddled with the alarm box at the fire sta- ion, and made the calls. The first call came about 2 aan. on Saturday morning, and when firemen arrived at the station, the glass covering the | alarm button had been broken, | the call made and the offend. ers disappeared. Saturday, about midnight another call came in and again | it was a false alarm. The call | came from the same box, but' ; this time the glass was intact; ------ -- tn - 15th, only one name suggestion "Monday, Nov. 11th at 8.30 p.m. .~vperience and background for It appears that the offenders | had managed to get behind the glass with a stick or some tool, "like a screwdriver and had suc- | ceeded in making the alarm go! off. Whether this was done in fun or spite, the law considers this a serious offence and if the cul- prits are caught they could be punished severely. The firemen also answered to a call on Sunday afternoon when a grassfire was extingui- | shed on Rosa Street.

APOLOGIES-- Apologies to Lion Ray Cook whose name was omitted from the Executive 1963-64 Roster in last. week's photograph. The Port Perry team has the player material and coach to make a good team, but an im- portant factor in keeping a good team going is an nthush astic crowd. This team pol onlv nec " ie Fublic's financial support, but| even more so it needs the moral 1 awa support of a cheering crowd on home ice a well as out of town games. | Working about 20 feet above ground, two Oshawa men, Wm. Badgley and John Gillen were found electrocuted at the Fit- . tings Ltd. plant Tuesday after- noon. The two men had been nailing on eaves, and the police said it was believed one of them had : slipped and touched a high ten- sion wire.
