"Round Up a Fosse, Sheriff, We'll Get the Varmint"9 Rustier Busy in Area Clifford Swallow, of Maple Grove, brought these king-sized potatoes to our office last week. The largest of the three shown here weighed four pounds and the second largest tipped the scale at three pounds. The third potato was not quite as large as the other but it had a rather unusual shape. Durham Regional Police were called to investigate missing cattle and missing liquor during the weekend. A police spokesman said Clyde John Frew of Port Hope reported Saturday that three cattle were stolen from his property at Conces- sion Five in Clarke Township. The animals were valued at $1,200. In Newcastle, police said that Fred Aldred reported someone broke into the Newcastle Village Hall where firemen were holding a Muscular Dystrophy dance and made off with 36 bottles of liquor and three cases of beer. The stolen liquor was valued at $500. The entire lot was found in a field on Sunday morning. A collision between a truck and a bull on Concession three in Clarke Township resulted in $2,000 damage Friday evening. Durham Police said John Herbert Lines was driving a truck along Concession Three when he struck the animal. No information was available to police on the fate of the bull. On Saturday, a cruelty to animals report was taken by police from an Orono woman. Police said she reported that a family dog had been found with a rope tied so tightly around its neck that its throat had been cut. The arrival of triplet calves is something that is likely to happen only once in 7,000 births, according to Bowman- ville Veterinarian Dr. Everett Turner. Late at night on Fri- day, October 6, Dr. Turner helped deliver tri let calves at the Allinbrook Farm just south of'Orono. The two heifers and one bull weighed 71, 72 and 78 pounds for a combined weight of 221 pounds. Dr. Turner said that while the birth of trip- lets is rare, it is even rarer for all three cal- ves to live, Of the three doctors at the Bowman- ville Veterinary Clinie, only one has been seen a case of triplets, Dr. Turner said. Neil Allin, the owner of the calves and the mother, said twins have been born on the farm but never triplets. He added that he has only heard of one case in which triplets were born. The calves' sire was Nelacres Johanna Sena- tor and their dam is Allinbrook Winston Joy. Both parents are regist- ered Holsteins. The mother is doing well and as the photo shows, all three of the new arrivals appear to be healthy and frisky. Taking Steps to Avoid The town's planning and develop- ment committee passed a motion Monday authorizing its staff to take the steps necessary to avoid a major shopping centre fight before the town is prepared to handle one. The case of whether to allow owners of the Bowmanville Mall - LDCM Învestments Ltd. and Bar- mond Builders Ltd. - to add two movie theatres to the east end of the mall is scheduled to go before the Ontario Municipal Board at a hearin in mid-December. Another shopping centre develo- per, Shanrob Management Ltd., is attempting to block construction of the 7,100 square foot addition. The town has already approved rezoning of the property from high Things were a bit damp on King St. West Monday when a work crew on the road broke a water ine and this huge cold water geyser sprayed water for some time before it was repaired.

John Peters has challenged other churches in the community to a competition and that Rev. Ed Schamerhorn of St. Paul's has accepted. Rev. Ed is carrying a bit more weight than Rev. John so it should be interesting. Carson Elliott also plans to enter and will be happy to accept pledges. Just phone 623-5668. MORE PEARS - Last year, Peter Newell of Bennett Road, hated to to see his pears rot on the trees and didn't feel up to picking them himself, so we inserted an item urging people to come pick them free of charge. He's in the same situation this year, but so many people wanted to pay, he's suggested they make a donation to the Salvation Army instead. There will be anS.A. representative on the site Friday and Saturday this week from il a.m. on. Mr. Newell will not be res- ponsible if you fall out of a tree and hurt yourself, but you'll have on the spot spiritual help. Just head east on highway two from Bowman- ville, past Beau Villa Nursing Home and take the first turn to the right. CAR WASHES - The Ontario St. Public School car wash has been rescheduled for this Saturday and hopefully the weather will be ideal. It's at the school. From what we hear, the BHS wash is washed out. WANT HELP? - If you are handicapped, a senior citizen and in need of assistance for raking leaves, painting or general household chores the Bowmanville Rotary Club may be able to help. They recently ap- proved a motion to that effect and in co-operation with the Ministry of Correctional Services, inmates of Whitby Jail are prepared to per- form these tasks.

Keith Barr, a Newcastle resident, said this week that Hydro has indicated it will take the initiative to restore property owners' titles to lands where transmission Une ease- ments are no longer needed. Mr. Barr said he is interested in talkin to any persons with property on hydo easements in order to fully explain Hydro's policy. He said e was first involved in the hydro easement issue afte John De Jong, a Newcastle property owner, requested that Hydro release an easement on a piece of property in the village. Discussions with Ontario Hydro followed this request which was first made about two years ago. As a result, Hydro has agreed that it will release easements without cost to landowners, Mr. Barr said. How- ever, this policy will not cover cases in which hydro has urchased easements, only cases w here ease- ments are leased.

Station tours are so popular among the school age children that we wouldn't be surprised if the fire department picks up a few more volunteers. ~ZUitan 5he Per Copy ù2 4t ex, ar ROWMANVHLE. ONTARIO.
