know for peo ple who live in the area its editors mail chimes silenced claremont down on the farm the vociferous rooster is considered a country alarm clock in towns and villages where the rooster is an uncommon inhabitant there are other things to take its place in claremont its the peel of chimes at the un ited church but only on sunday it seems however that one morn ing a week is too of ten for one resident a formal complaint has been filed with the bylaw enforc- ment officer town of pickering the action has proved irritating to some mem bers of the united church congregation one ofthese is sandra redshaw the tribunes claremont correspon dent she writes dear jim last week claremont united church was notified by the bylaw department of the town of picker ing that a complaint had been registered regard ing the playing of chimes sunday morn ings the church was advised that charges could be laid if it con tinued because of this they were not heard last sunday on sunday june 12 1949 a
