Bowmanville jumped 308 and Darling- ton 255. t1 t t t t CROOKS - At least two citizens of Bowmanville received phone calis this week from crooks who were obviously trying to defraud them of money. In both cases they failed but others are warned to be alert. The caller dlaims he is phoning f rom a local bank, checking on money that has been handed out by the teller when they cashed their old age pension cheque. They suggest some of it may be counterfeit and could they see it. In other cases, the elderly people have let them in and handed over their money for inspection. While the chap is supposed to be checking the money, they receive another phone cali supposed to be f rom the bank. The money and the f irst man have disappeared when the phone cail has been com- pleted. t t t I.t FIRE - About 10 o'clock Tuesday night, Bowman- ville firemnen had their second call of the nîght from Solina where a shed at the rear of Lorne Kellett's store wvas ablaze.
