rn~bî~rn VOLUME 101 Reeve Sid Little in Hospital t4te~t~t~m "tDurham County's Gireat Famil1y Journal" Sid Little, Bowmanville Reeve and ex-mayor, was injured last Thursday morning at the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company plant, where he is employed as Chief Engineer. A coal shute which was being dismantled for repairs struck him a glancing blow on the head when it fell. He required stitches at Memorial Hospital. His progress at the hospital was quite- rapid, and he returned -to his homp Tuesday. The irony of the situation is the fact that a whispered announcement in the Goodyear publication "The Wingfoot Clan," which was issued the same day, stated that the first six months of the year, had passed at the local plant without a lost-time accident. Durham M.P. Ur.ges Action to Correct Subway at Newcastle On Thureday, July 2lst, John M. tames, M.P. for Dur- ham made the following speech i.n the House of Commons, urg- ing the Minister of Transport to see that action was taken ta 1-correct the hazardous condi- Iion of the subway east of New- castle. Recently, a bus-trans- port -aWident at this point sent 23 passengers ta hospital for "Mr. Chairman, I shauld lîke -ta speak briefly on this iteir. Tbrough the Minister of Trans- port I would take this oppor- tunity ta lbing a subi ect ta the attention of the board af tran- sport cammissioners for imme- diate cansideratian. It con- oerns the subway of the Cane- Chan Pacific Raîlway on high- 'way No. 2 at a point just eest of Newcastle, Ontario. I amn sure many hon. memnbers are, laiiar with this subway, and probabjy know it better as the hale in the wall. In my memaory and exper- ience as a newspaperman in that particular area, there have been many seriaus fatal acci- dents at this particular point. The main cause of these velui- cular crashes is the fact that the subway is narrow and law. As a resuit, trucks and large transports are forced ta take ta the centre af the road ta get through the subway. Bc- cause of this, either the an- comning vehicle is forced to stop ta be assured that the road ahead is clear before pro-_ New Printing1 e ceeding tîrough, or it is forc- ed off the road. As a result there have been crashes bath from an-coming vehicles and from the rear as well. Just recently there was a very seriaus crash et this point and, ta bring it ta the atten- tion ai hon. members and, in particuler, that ai the board oi transport commissioners, I shauld like ta place on record some comments. which appear- (Continued on page seven) Set 'Hours 0f Business J3OWMANVILLE.

President Write s Letter to Clear Rumour It bas been brought ta my attention that there is a ru- mour gaing around Bowman- ville that the Chamber af Commerce was asking for an additional sum of money frain Town Council for operating expenses. Nothing could be further from the truth, since up until aur last meeting, money voted by Town Council ta be, used for Publicity and Industrial promotion had not been toucbed. It was discussed et that time, ta try ta decide the best method of bandling this maney, and it was felt that a special account should le set up, sa that Town Cauncil would know exactly how this money was used. It was also decided that Bowmanville's share towards the Lake On- tario Planning and Develop- ment Board should corne out af this fund. Early this year the Execu- tive af the Chamber ai Com- merce approached the memn- bers of Council with plans for hiring a Secretary- Manager, 50 that we would have- some- one with the time and ability ta promote Bowmanville, not only et home, but throughout the Country. In other words, we feit thý,t Bowmanville should be put "on the Map", so that we will flot always le a dormitory for Oshawa, as we are considered at the present time. The members af Council realize that unless something is done in the near future, re- sidential taxes will continue ta r'rise with no hope af any re- lief from additional Industriali taxation. Tbiey felt that the EChamber of Commerce was the ilogical organization ta carry jon ithis work, and offered us fi- nancial belp. It is always amazing the number of people that are only too willing ta criticize, but flot willing ta corne aut ta a meet- ing, find out the fects, and ai- fer their help. The reason morel has nat been eccomplished tal date by the Chamber of Com-1 merce is due ta the lack of1 support ai many af the citi- zens ai Bowmanville. One of the mast difficuit things for 1many af us ta appreciate is the fact that there is s0 littie inter- est shown by those wbo cZen benefit the most by the ef- forts ai the Chamber. The place ta get the fects is et a meeting. YOU are we]- came. 0f course The Statesman reports all aur meetings but there. is nothing like attending the functions and take part in, the discussions. The next time yau hear eny- thing about the Chamber of Commerce which you question, ask whether or not the persan spreading the rumour attend- ed a meeting. If not, call any member ai the Executive and, we will be pleased ta give you the truth end the facts. Better stili, YOU corne ta the flext meeting and get tbe facts. We will be pleased ta answer any questions, and will welcome constructive criticism. Elmer Banting, President, Chme1fCmec Utilities Wl!

A discussion ai the accaurît af Compressed Air Equipment covering repairs ta the air com- pressor disclosed that the com- pressor is used more by the Roads and Streets department and et the cemetery, than on P.U.C. business. It was decid- ed that a charge will be made ta the Town ai Bowmanville for the use of the compressor covering the men's time while using it. Accounts for May were as follows: Electrical Departmènit -$19,917.02, Water Depart- ment - $3,620.00. For June:ý Electrical Depertment - $20,- .03.57, Water Departnient - $1,364.19.
