Turner, Representative Phones: Office, 587; Res, 300 'Ruins of One of Bowmanville's First Residences Recall Early Days in History of the Town Pas Former Home of Joh] Burk -- Two Stone Pillass and a Cluster of Stone Blocks All That Remain ~--Residence Was Once Used as Home for Aged and Infirm People -- Was Scene of Disastrous Fire When Two Met Death in the Flames -- Property Will Soon Give Place to Modern Improvements (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, March 16.--Two up- right stone posts, a scattering cluster of stone blocks and three cavities in the earth overgrown with grass and berry bushes point out the ruins of one of Bowmanville's first residences and former home of one of Bowman- ville's most respected citizens, John Burk, The relics of carlier days which face the open country on Scugog street seem to have mouths and yet are unable to tell of the history and changes which have come over the country during the last half century, Yet there is nothing on the face of the earth which conveys a more im- pressive meaning, there is nothing in this world which recalls memories quickWy than ruins of a home that used to be, Probably a home in this case which was the pride and dignity of a well-developed town, For Dow- manville was just as great a town then as now, and still maintains its dignity as it did for the long line of mayors which presided over its des- tiny, And there it stands, The two stone pillars at the gate seem to cast a spell of awe on entrants, as much as to say that these who enter the almost holy ground are indeed priyi- leged. As gathered from information from the older residents who remember from tales told by grandfathers and told them in turn by their grand- fathers, the house at one time was a frame structure standing on the sturdy stone foundation. Its widely latticed windows and French doors bring an air of the southern planta- tion to the ncighbourhood. But Jong since have these gone, No-one seems to want to disturb the old ground and hallowed stones. And the place is not without its history, After the death of the own- er, the home was used as a place of residence to old and infirm of the town, Here these people lived and died for ten years. Then the costly and ravaging demon, fire, broke out and burned the stately edifice to the foundations. And it took its toll of human lives, for on that night of horrors to the surrounding families, two lives were snuffed out in the in- terior of the raging furnace, made doubly fierce by the dry and well- worn timbers of age. Soon will the property and stones of long ago give place to modern improvements. Soon is the memory of such-a homestead to be forgotten, and the old story will be no more. Perhaps a new and stately edifice will rise to the skies to take its place and underneath perhaps a stone or two will mark the eternal grave of yesteryears., QUIET WEKE-END IN POLICE CIRCLES (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, Mar, 18. -- Nothing unusual in the line of police duty oc- curred at Bowmanville during the week-end.

Be Early Whitby Phone 318 Oshawa TWO STORES Phone 2595 THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, MARCH 19, 1928 CHICAGO JUSTICE MAKES CRIME SURVEY Chicago, March 18--]Judge Marcus Kavanagh, who has been on the bench thirty years, has written a book on "Crime" that surveys the entire nation. Drastic measures to suppress crime are the remedies to be applied. "The United States faces a crime crisis," he writes, "It can only be met successfully by inflicting the death penalty on murderers and flogging robbers and morons. The number of women criminals is in- creasing and they are bolder, more cruel and harder to reform than the men. "Crime in this country could be cut in half but for the evil influence of these women. Most male dope fiends have been taught the deadly habit by female companions." Graft-infested and politically dom- inated police, welfare sentimentalists, psychology fakirs, crooked lawyers, parole misadministration and a "don't care" attitude of the public, are blam- ed by Judge Kavanagh for increasing crime in this country, "Sentimentalists have had almost complete control of the crime prob- lem," he says. "They have tried to create a misty atmosphere of irres- pousibility for the criminal, calling him a creature of heridity. "Crime costs our nation more than $486,000,000 00 annvally.
