?HURSDAV. .TULY 28th. 1955 TEE CAKADIAN STATESMAII. EOWMAYVILLE. ONTARIO PAGE ELEVEN Origin of Place-Name Bowman ville By Dr. L. B. WillIamis Recently, I noticed in The Statesman that you. tbrougch counsel, were accounting for h ow Bowmanville got its name and that it was named a!ter r my wile's grand!atbor, William ,.Bowman-a great banor indeed ý44Rdwe are only sorry it isn't ttrue. I'm afraid you are barking 4up the wrong tree. Grand! ath em William Bowman, fathor of the late Mrs. Albert Arnot, whose daugbter is Mrs. Wil- B larsns an Englishman tbrough and througb wbo came S here !romn Devon, England, with al bis worldly «goods tied up in a red bandana. ~ .Charles Bowman, after wo Bowmanvilie was named, was a Scotsman fom Berwicksbire, three months in saiiing the At- iantic, wha established out bere a series o! chain stores- among them Bowmanville i824* ~- (thon caiied Darlington Mills) withbis beadquarters in Mon- tréal. At that time aur tawn's bus- :ness, consisting of tbree or four small stores, was ail on ..,-,-the West Hill with the road way down Wavenly Road to the barbon. There wasn't any road ta the barbon east of the creek. Theme was a census pop. ulation a! 118 persans in 1825, .exclusive o! Indians. ,c The first store was apened by are, Lewis Lewis, wha after four years operation sold to Charles Bowman & Ca., whose fîrst local manager was the father o! the town's once Post Master, the late J. B. Fair- bairri. Years later. a boy, John S Simpson, oniy twelve years o! age becane clerk, was in con- trai at 18, and eventualiy tank over the whoie local Bowmn interestsl--land, holdings, store, e- t rnlis andci dstilery, the latter acrass the road beiow the Van- s tone miii. Bowman owned practically the wbole site and more o! the present site o! Bowmnanvilie. (That Scotsman wouldn't like our present Tax Bill) Simpson, father* o! aur late citizen, D. Burke Sinpsan, K. C., later became Senator Simpson and in bis holdings iocated bis handsome three- storeyi brick residence a mile east o! Bowmanvîlle on the sauth side o! Hîgbway No. 2. now occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Hubent Stacey as a Tourist Home. Senator Simpson arganized the Ontario Bank of w3ich ho wps President, was for years agent a! the Bank o! Montreai *Lnd today we have the digni- Y ied architeçtural Bank of Mon- treal which graces King St. It's pretty bard ta keep fron digressing froin my subject. The Bowman stores sbelterd and out!itted the militia en- Sroute west tbnaugh town in the $.William Lyon Mackenzie Re- beliion of 1837. By this time the Bowman business, having large capital was able ta out- strip ail campetitars for in pia. neer days it was impossible ta carry an any kind o! ontorpnise on a cash basis. Thein I.O.W. was taken neadily as gald. Paper currentiy being thon very scarce, the Bowman & Ca. issued a 25c shin plaster o! their own and the late Mn. Rhys Fairbairn told me the Fairbairris had one that had of course nover been redeemed. I have a copy o! the wording. Mr. Charles Bawman, the abject o! this reviow, spent most o! bis personal timo in the Old Country effecting fru- gal punchase o! goads for bis new worid enterpnise. Perbaps some day I wiil give you the life story o! Bowman- ville in screen and commentary.

Everyone had been looking forward ta this day and what a day it was in every respect. If there is a tinge of sadness it could only be that it is over. At the docks things were fairly seriaus and orderly as the skipper of each boat was given bis position and sailing orders from the chart prepared by the Sailing Committee. Then the motors hummed and the boats moved out into the channel ta take up their posi- tionis. The flatilla was led by Com- modore George Evans in bis cruiser the "50-50" with bis two motor launch escorts, the "Scram" skippered by T. Lyle Wallace and "My Sweetie" with Corp. Doug. Wilson at the wheel. Vice-Commodore C. E. Rehder in bis cruiser "Barbara R." followed and sailing in line were the following members of the club: Fred W. Belt-cruiser-"ýThe Duchess", Dave Winter-crui- ser-"Gay Venture", J. Armn- strong-cruiser --, "Lady Gil- da", Dr. F. McKenze-cruiser -"Daisy", Roy Hughes-crui- ser-"Louie K.", Manson Cath- cart-cruiser - "Paulene", A. C. Sandercock - houseboat - "Dorai", C. M. Thompson - launch-"Hi-Mac. II", A. E. Fulford, launch - "Summer- tyme", W. Bisset - launch - "Gingeýr", ~H. C. Bossert - launch-"Norjac". Overhead, Ken. Wyatt froin Peterborough in bis mono- plane, soared and dipped tak- ing pictures of the cavalcade. After the cruise down the main channel of Rice Lake ta Tic Island, the boats turned north along the aid railway, then west again, and as they approached Spook Island, fan- ned out in line-abreast forma- tion, moving in at low speed wfth sirens and horns wide open. The cruisers are a very stately lot but they looked par- ticularly nice with the after- noon sun giving thern an extra glint as tbey held their posi- tion. The club cari be extreme- ly proud of its fleet. Every boat was neat and trim, freshly painted and var- nished and the chrome glit- tering,-really a credit ta their owners, and every boat was loaded ta the gunwbales with happy familles and their friends. As each cruiser drop- ped anchor the runabouts scur- riéd out ta ferry the guests ashore. Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Halden- by and their family were wait- ing ta greet everyone on the docks. and their warm, friend- ly welcome was most sincere as tbey turned their island home over ta these invaders for the afternoon. Boxes o! bright pink petunias decorated the docks, beds of geraniums flanked the walk leading ta the steps. At the top o! the steps were boxed Japanese Yew trees while on the terrace in front of the main residence, were large boxes o! Quince. The spaciaus lawns were love- ly and green which is quite surprising considering the pro- longed dry speli. Under some buge trees the, long buffet table with its snowy white cloth and minia- ture yacht sailing down the centre, waîted. A large crest o! the club and "Welcome" spelled out in the club colons, were the only decorations ex- cept the wonderful feast. Nov- er have there been such deni- cious salads, such sandwiches, (I wonder who made the out- of-the world three-decker bain and egg sandwiches?) If a per- son could only est more,-and such cakes,-and the tarts, and fresh fruit and iced waterme- Ion. Then the more sedate grown- ups relaxed in the shade of the trees and watched the fun and nonsense. The children made To print your awn, that l The Bank of 'Éngland bas made the counterfeiter's lot an even unhappier anc by pressing a thin stip of aluniinum foil inta the paper used for making bank notes.

The beautiful white birthday caetîbg heart with "congra- tulations ta Doug. and Kay" in pink icing, was eut and passed around, and "~Happy Birthday*' was sung; square dancing toaa trio o! Dr. McKenzie's famous "Dock Hands": a barber shop quartette, stunts galare, - all in ahl a picnic ta be romemben- ed. The Haldenbys bave been most generous ta the club sinco its inception and their cantin- ued interest is undoubtedly an 1important factor in its present bealthy status.
