Brick Chimney Alone Remains wing Where Once Stately Edifice Was Located (By Staff Bowmanville, April 24.--With {ts brick chimney towering aloft to- wards the blue skies, its crumbl- ing foundations slowly blending in- to the very earth itself, and its once useful fireplace now a haven for crickets and mice, a home on the lake shore near here is fast giving itself up to time. Whether it was once a cottage for the use of summer residents alone, or whether it housed oceu- pants the year round, it fs impos- sibie to say. No one knows what became of the inhabitants, or where the house itself disappeared, suf- fice to say that they are gome, time only making it harder to trace the origin of a once presentable and Reporter) stately looking edifice. High on the bluft overlooking Lake Ontario about a half-mile from the dock, now also falling into decay, the ruins stand, .How like the ruins of ancient Greece they seem to be in regard to bring- ing forth comments, surmises and conjuring up thoughts of happen- ings long ago when action and life surrounded the place. Slowly will the forces of nature work their will upon the stonework and in a few years dll will lie be- neath the sod. The elements will hurl the time-worn chimney to the ground despite its almost heroic efforts to maintain its stand, and its memory will be a thing of the past. The home will be no more, GIVEN SURPRISE ON LEAVING TOWN Mr. and Mrs, Kenneth Val leau Are Honored By Bowmanville Friends (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, April 24.--A most enjoyable surprise party was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ken- neth Valleau this evening when more than 80 friends and neigh- bors gathered to wish the family a happy farewell, Mr, Valleau, Ma- rie and Ila, are moving to Oshawa in the immediate future, A real old-time party was the outcome of arduous scheming by frfiends for the surprise on Mr, and Mrs. Valleau. With Mr, Hold- en playing the violin, and Mrs. Holden at the piano, many rounds of merriment were pealed forth in the versatile dances. Round danc- ing also featured the latter part of the evening, and cards were used to help make the party the suc- cess it was. Ahout eleven-thirty a gorgeous luncheon was served. Everyone present made himself at home and chatted over old times or made ar- rangements to visit again, -It was the most successful event of its kind held in Bowmanville for many a year, FIRST RAINBOW OF SEASON IS SEEN (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, - April 24,--~The first ranbow of the season was in evidence this afternoon about five o'clock. After the drizzle and light rain the eastern sky was quite dark and cloudy, and the sun, com- ing all at once from behind the clouds, caused a perfect rainbow to foxm across the eastern sky, ris- ing from the lake, it seemved and going down away inland. The spec. tacle. lasted for about ten min- utes, Whether this phenomenon has anything to do with a change for the ¢ better in weather conditions, it is hard to say. Practically every rule and surmise has been broken so far by the freak change of the weather, and it is an uncertain thing for the weatherman to give his opinions of the conditions of the elements much more than a day in advance, ROADS IMPASSABLE (By Satff Reporter) Bowmanville, April 24.--Recent rains have made the unpaved roads in the vicinity of Bowmanville prac- tically impassable.

But not any more. Fourteen and 15-year-old girls are slipping powder, }Jipstick and an extra pair of silk stockings into their handbags and setting out to seek their fortunes in increased numbers, it has been discovered by the Girls' Service League of Am- erica, Even 12-year-old girl runaways are Jot uncommon, and the form- er average runaway age of 17 has dropped by a year or more, ae- cording to the experience of the large welfare organization. The number of runaway girls is also increasing. In making public its report for the fiscal year, officials of the lea- gue hazarded that the increase In girl runaways may be due to a lack of dmployment in small towns. It was also supposed that the EARLIER AGE, ARE RUNNING AWAY FROM HOME, LEAGUE SAYS "publicity which recently attended the search for a girl of good fam- ily who ran away from a finishing school to become a housemaid" encouraged other adolescents to try their luck. "New York continues to be the magnet drawing runaways from all over the country," said Miss Stella Miner, an executive of the league, in commenting on its re. port. "What especially alarms us is mot so much the recent and per- haps only temporary increase fm the number of runaways as the decrease in their average age. "The league has studied this problem and our investigation shows that almost three-quarters of the girls who run away come from broken, immoral or unsympa- thetic homes. In such cases, you cannot blame the girls." During the last fiscal year, 4. 600 girls received aid from the league, which was founded in 1908.
