Ere Destroys
Large Barn,
Threatens Church
An early Sunday morning
fire completely levelled a large
L-shaped barn on the property
of W. A .Townshend, RR 2,
Bayfield, at Porter's Hill, and
threatened a nearby church.
Starting from as yet unde-
termined causes, the fire was
first spotted by Mrs. Towns-
bend at 5:00 a.m., but by this
time she reported it was all in
flames.
The Bayfield Fire Brigade
was called to the scene, but be-
fore they arrived, neighbors at
the fire spotted sparks flying
toward Grace United Church
and the brigade focused their
attention on that building,
where sparks had ignited shin-
gles and burned a hole in the
roof.
The fire at the church, which
was about 50 to 60 rods away
from the Townshend barn, was
quickly put out and firemen re-
mained on duty until it was in
no further danger.
Lost in the barn blaze were
three calves, about 40 tons of
hay and some milking equip-
ment.
The owner gave no estimate
of his loss, . but reported he
planned to erect a replacement.

Thwart Robber
At Epps' Store
North of Orillia
A would-be robber with bad
judgement was captured last
Wednesday morning in the act
of smashing in a rear door at
the Ellwood Epps Sporting
Goods store on Highway 11, ab-
out six miles north of Orillia,
The store is owned by Clin-
ton's Ellwood Epps and the
etdpriewas 'held.at gempointaby
his son, Don, and Michael Mul-
vihill, employees at the store.
The two were awakened ab-
out 7:45 axle. by a barking
watchdog and Epps looked out
the door of the store near his
bedroom and saw a man batter-
ing the rear door with a crow-
bar.
"He was making a real job
of it," he told a reporter from
the Barrie newspaper..
Epps went back inside the
building and armed himself
with a revolver. Mulvihill did
the same. "We always keep
guns upstairs," he said, "so it
was easy to find one."
Epps then returned to the
upper door and shouted at the
man below.
"He took off like a shot," the
former Clinton man reported.
Epps fired two bullets into
the ground near the running
man's feet before the fugitive
disappeared around the side of
the building, leaving his car
with a rifle in the rear seat.
"We were worried he might
sneak back and get that rifle,"
said Epps, "so we kept a close
eye' on it."
Mulvihill, watching from an-
other window, spotted the fugi-
tive and ordered him to halt,
He too fired a warning shot.
The man stopped in his tracks.
The two employees forced
the man to lie face down on
the ground and held him at
gunpoint until. Provincial Police
arrived.
"It was a kind of! shaky ex-
perience," said Epps, "It looks
kinda funny now, but it sure
didn't when it was happening."
In' an effort to make a uni-
fied student body at CHSS next
term, the board complied with
the`recommendation of Princi-
pal ,D. J. Cochrane, that all
students commence and end
classes at the same time.
His `14ecOMmendation was for
ela.ses .to commence. at 9:20=
a,m, and conclude at 3:30 p.m.,
with all school buses departing
from 'the school at 3:40.
The students will be allowed
one period -L.-- 37 Minutes— for
lunch hour.
The principal also stated he
planned to have an activity
period during the last period
of the day in Monday, Wednes-
day and Friday, and in this
way, all students at the school
would have an equal opportun-
ity to engage in the extra-
curricular activities.
He noted that with the stu-
dents from South Huron leav-
ing before the activity period
last year, they never did feel
they were part of the school.
The principal stated this was
quite evident during the bas-
ketball season when the CHSS
boys played the SHDHS boys'
team. He noted that the stu-
dents here from the Exeter
school all sat in one corner'
and cheered for the Exeter
plained, "this will never be-
come Central Huron, but will
always be the Clinton school
with outsiders here on Surf-
ranee."
"ThiS could kill the school
before it gets going," he added.
He pointed out the students
from the other three ' areas
must not be denied the right
to enter into all school activi-
ties, because this "is a vital and
integral part of education",
"There should be equal op-
portunity and equal responsi-
bility for all students," he told
'
In recommending that the
buses be allowed to leave the
school at 3:40, he explained
that many of the students at
the school would have started
out in the bus as early as 7:30
a.m. and would have another
long ride before arriving home
at night.
While the school day is shor-
