Home Decoration Contest Special guests at the meeting were Mr. and Mrs. Donald Wil- cax, 58 Lamb's Lane, who won the annual Chamber-sponsored home decoration contest for the second consecutive year. In presenting the $25 cheque to the Wilcoxes, Mr. Banting stated that he had seen several other towns as well decorated as Bow- manville, but he had not seen any indivîdual eforts that could compare with some of the homes in Bowmanville. Mr. Banting was to have pre- sented the President's Trophy to David Higgon Electric for the best decorated store at Christ- mas time but unfortunately Mr. Ifiggon was unable to attend.

Cordial Relationé There have been cordial rela- tions between the Chamber and Town Council and Mr. Morris believed that the Chamber has been of great help to Council especialiy in doing research and drafting proposed by-laws. Mr. Morris was especially pleased with the Christmas store decorations program under the direction of Glen Lander and he expected that even more would be done by the merchants next Christmas. Welcome wagon One of the new projects soon to be started by the Chamber is the Welcome Wagon. The idea is that one or more citizens will visit each new resident in town for the purpose of extending a welcome and întroducing Bow- manville to the residents. A speciai feature of the Welcome Wagon project will be the cou- pons ranging in value from $1-$5 and totaling $25. These coupons wiil be. donated by the mer- chants as inducements for the new residents to shop in town. President's Report In bis report to the Chamber, President Elmer Banting con- gratulated Ken Morris for the outstanding service he has rend- ered to Bowmanville and the Chamber in the one year that he has been secretary-manager. One of his outstanding achieve- ments the president said, was the drafting and organizing of an industrial brochure to at- tract prospective industries to Bowmanville. Before Mr. Mor- ris became secretary-manager ahl information about Bowmanville in the Industrial Branch, Toron- ta, was outdated and of no value ta the town. Mr. Banting pointed out that Mr. Morris had to go ta the source to find out ail pertinent information about Bowmanville and this took hundreds of hours of research. "To say we are proud and pleased with the work Ken has done is miid. This brochure is one of the highlights of the year and is bath factual and interest- ing. Letters from other sources praising the brochure is adequate proof,'> Mr. Banting stated. Thirty-seven Contacts Over the past year Mr. Morris has had and stili bas contact with 37 potentiai industries which could locate in Bowmanville. However Mr. Banting pointed out that securing an industry is ,a long and exacting process as 'an industry wishes ta know al the facts of a town, and several ible felt ýer Lke cia- ii .0. ract tourists and industriahists ta the aiea but the L.0.D.A. is not allowed ta seli anc municipality aven another.

It hs stated by the responsible officiais cf the government that the amendments ta the regula- tions were made in order "to bring them in tune with the times." It was noted that farm- ers are making increasing use of station wagons, especially where poultry is kept, for the purpose of delivering crates of eggs to town and city custam- ers. The addition of sewing mach- ines and electric ironers ta the Eist was made in order ta assist in making farm -homes as mod- ern as possible. The new regulationa also re- duce the term for farm loans for the purchase of trucks from three years to two and one- half years. In most cases the loans caver a maximum of two-thirds af the purchase price. However, e.n some specific items the gov- ernment decided to increase this ta 80 percent af the cost. Included in this latter category are milk coolers and buik milk tanks on farms. In many cases these are replacing the aid type farm milk can. At the regular 1956 session of parliament the ceiiing on these loans was raised from $4,000 ta $5,000. Maximum per- iod for repayment is 10 years. arg.ai Misses' DressesOnSl Reg. to $19.95 $ 5000 w On Sale BRESLUN'S BOWMANVI LLE I OBITUÂRY WMLIM A& MATHEWS A well-known barber in Osh- awa for 27 years, William Ar- thur Mathews, 24 Drew St., died at the Oshawa' General Hospital, Jan. 30th.
