Two break, enter and thefts were reported which resulted with one juvenile being arrest- ed for one offence and the stolen property recovered on the second offence. Four cases of theft under $200. are present- ly being investigated. One case of fraud of $800. was reported and the present whereabouts of the suspect is being investigated. Two accidents occured during this period with minor damages involved in each. Two fires were extinguished with minimum damage. Five motor vehicles and three transients were checked. A fifteen year old girl from Ottawa who was reported missing, was located and returned Numerous complaints have again been report- ed of dogs running at large. A minimum of $25.00 is the fine imposed for having a dog running loose. The police are reluctant to enforce this law but if citizens will not» take care of their own dogs the police will have to instigate action against the owners. During the past week by instructions from the Attorney General the Recreation Committee was advised that the pin ball machines in the games room were illegal. These have been shut down and are expected to be replaced with machines that comply with the law. NEWZETTE Edited by Tom Slater Remember Saint Jean Vianney, the little Quebec town that was partially engulfed by a huge land movement in April I972, killing 31 people and leaving a canyon half a mile wide, a mile long and I00 feet deep? How would you feel if a yawning hole like that were growing steadily in the bush out behind your hometown? The people of Marathon, Ont., pulp and pap- er town on the north shore of Lake Superior, don't guite know whether to be proud or con- : cerned about their grand canyon in miniature: whether to treat it as a menace or a tourist attraction. "It's I6 miles from town ... but the hole is getting bigger and bigger," Marathon reader Laurie Morgan wrote to Panorama. I can remember when the hole was about one- third of its present size, and that was only eight years ago!" gla Panorama called K.E. Bowlier, senior oper- ations officer for the Ministry of Natural Resources in nearby Terrace Bay. "The first thing to say," said Bowlier, "is that it's no danger. At least not in this century". But "he did admit that "what was once simply a gra- vel pit is now a crater of huge proportions." Bowlier, who says he's keeping his eye on the hole (he's visited the site at least a do dozen times in the past three years) says the only current danger "is to people who want to see it and stand too close to the edge. It's a long drop." He estimates that the crater is about one-third of a mile long by one-quar- ter of a mile wide, with a depth of IO00 to I50 feet. His department estimates that about six to eight million yards of material has been displaced = the equivalent of I00 tandem trucks hauling 10 loads a day for 20 years. The land movement has engulfed a portion of ~ two roads and a considerable amount of treed land. continued page 23 ........
