There was an Item on the front page pertain- ing to Wingham, when the Hanna store was entirely destroyed by fire, the extent of the damage amounting to $25,000. Flames were noticed in the 11p- per storey of the building about midnight, while a fierce storm was raging.

These were just the stories of crime on the front page, with still others on the inside of the paper.

The hikers apparently be- lieved he was still asleep, and were not keeping an eye on him. Daw pulled the keys from the ignition, jumped out and his ,Surprise can be •imagined, when he found that he was in North Bay. Police were called and the pair of hikers were questioned and claimed that Daw had fallen asleep and that they 'had taken over the wheel. The police in the home towns of the pair were contacted and it was found they had no previous police record.
