If any area clan knows how to stage a grandiose exercise of this kind, it is the Werrys. The reunion had class, dignity and plenty of impact. The descendants trace their lineage back to John Werry and Ani Congdon and eight of their il children who settled in central Ontario from England between 1831 and 1845. It seems incredible, but the first Werry family reunion was held in a Tyrone farmhouse in 1873; with the exception of three or four years (immediately preceding and during The First World War), the affair has been held annually since. More than 500 people gathered in Blackstock on the weekend for the on where the much, our sheaf of or income xes, sales er just how d to put up thout com- in on theni hard and Yonder the s heading otherwise using their eaming up proved for expending ergy trying productive asts, Santa )f you little be making the time inly giving eiving the y grows on a bottom- e a rough n the facts to pay for taxes and reunion; all bore the family name or were related through marriage. The oldest was 93 years, the youngest but two weeks. Relatives came from as far away as Halifax, Edmonton and Ohio. The program was imagina- tive, meticulously planned to make the reunion a memorable evept. There was a banquet, beef barbecue, dance, comedy and historical skits and a devotional service. The youngsters seemed to enjoy it as much as the oldsters. Mr. Carruth- ers brought a scroll signed by Premier Davis. Allan Lawrence, MP, Northumberland-Durham, was also present. The reunion represented a proud moment for the Werry clan (so many of whom reside in this area). Ail who had anything to do with its planning can take a deep bow, especially Dr. George Werry of Oshawa and his wife, Jean. Back to the Forties? Practically ail of the younger generation and many of those in their middle years will find it difficult to fully comprehend the full implication of the current gasoline shortage in the United States. Word that many hundreds of service stations wili have to close this summer brings home the reality of dwindling fuel supplies. Only those people who were automobile owners during the years of the Second World War will fully realize the fact that a car is not just another extension of the human body, to- be used wherever and whenever the owner wants to move from place to place. We take our cars so much for granted that it is all but impossible to conceive of the fact that without gasoline we would have to walk or use public transport. In the forties, when all supplies of motor fuel were rationed, driving a car was, for many, a privilege. Ration coupons permitted the pur- chase of a limited amount of gasoline, but those who were in the lower categories had to be cautious about the trips they took. Even at that we were extremely fortunate in this country. In Europe, of course, there simply wasn't any fuel available except for those on necessary business requiring motor transport. The rationing system, quite naturally, led to a lot of abuses and considerable trickery. Most farmers had all the fuel they needed for their cars and in addition had a ready supply of gasoline for their tractors, which was dyed purple. There were hundreds of instances of motorists being caught with the' colored i tractor gas in their cars and the fines were steep. One of the most hectic scenes we s have ever witnessed occurred early in the war years. One of our friends was an instructor at the Air Force base at Hagersville and we visited him there from time to time. On one occasion the guard at the entrance insisted on a personal search and removed from both the car and our person all matches and cigarette lighters, etc., before we could go in. The explanation came after meeting our friend at the officers' mess. Someone had failed to properly close the tap on a railway tank car of high octane airplane gas and the contents, several thousand gallons, had run out into a depression beside the tracks to form a small lake - ready to blow the whole base sky high. Lacking today's more sophis- ticated methods of disposal, the "brass" had simply invited the personnel on the base to find any and every sort of container in which they could take the stuff away. They were hard at it. Every- thing from honey pails and gem jars to 45-gallon drums was pressed into service. Some of those boys had enough gas for their own cars to last them for months, once it had been cut back to standard octane strength by the addition of coal oil. -Wingham Advance-Times Lurham County's Great Family Journal Established 119 years ago in 1854 Also Incorporating The Bowmanville News The Newcastle Independent The Orono News Second class mail registration number 1561 I D b % I r *ý Phone Produced every Wednesday by Phone 623-3303 THE JAMES PUBLISHING COMPANY LIMITED 623-330n 62-66 King St. W., Bowmanville, Ontario LIC 3K9 JOHN M.

R J To Residents c Township: On July 23,1 was held at th Senior Publie residents ofb C ton and East' ships to dis people at this meeting will significantly alter the plans of Ontario Hydro. However, the total support of the townships could do it. It is the purpose of this letter, therefore, to urge all residents of Clarke to support the proposal of a northern route. This may be done by filling in the com- ments section of the question-1 naire distributed by Hydro in the mail and printed in newspapers indicating that1 neither routes 'A-B' or 'C' are acceptable through Clarke and that a corridor should be1 established north of Mosport.1 This must be done prior to August 8th since Hydro have refused to hold another public1 meeting in this area prior to making their final choice. i In support of this position1 the following points may bei considered:1 1. The study which recom- mended the routes proposed1 was conducted by an Ameri- can firm with American personnel based on American exýperience. 2. The power corridors through Clarke and the west- ern Townships will be 600 feet wide. To the east of Wesley- ville they will be 425 feet wide. Present power line right of ways are only 120 feet wide. 3. There will be three rows of towers within the corridor. The towers will be significant- ly larger (162 feet high - two to three times the height of existing towers) and will transmit much higher voltage (500,000 volts) than existing power lines. There are pres- ently no 500 KV transmission lines in this part of Ontario. 4. Either of the proposed corridors will direclty affect approximately 40 residences by Hydro's calculations. In addition, an eight to 10 mile strip of farmland will be affected. A significantly greater number of people will be indirectly affected through visual exposure to the towers and through construction in- convenience. 5. Hydro will not compen- sate owners of adjacent land for loss of property value. 6. Hydro has not seriously considered an alternative route to the north of Mosport where there is already an existing major transmission line and where the population density is sufficiently low to probably accommodate the new line while affecting no residences and significantly less farmland. 7.

Hydro's proposals for a 500KV power corridor through the townships. Ontario Hydro has proposed two alternatives for the corridor through Clarke, one north and one south of Orono. The stated intent of Ontario Hydro was to deter- mine from this meeting which of these two proposals should be chosen. The meeting was apparently designed to promote conflict between residents affected by the two proposals since only those two choices were offer- ed. However, after a question and answer period in which most ofwthe questions were evaded, a Hydro representa- tive reluctantly acknowledged that if there were sufficient public opposition to their two alternatives and if another viable route could beproposed it wouid be given considena- tion. Following the question and answer period, groups were iormeci representng residents of each of the townshps. After considerable discussion those residents of Clarke who were in attendance unanimously agreed on a formal motion that neither of the two alternatives proposed by Ont- ario Hydro were socialiy or environmentally acceptable and that a new proposal should be developed by Hydro to route the power corridor to the north of Mosport Park. A similar motion was presented by the residents of Darlington. The same proposai was unanimously adopted by all residents attending a second meeting on July 24th. It is unrealistic to think that the recommendation of the Both "investments" were based on red hot tips. One thousand shares of a real dog called Ansley, a "gold mine" which turned out to be moose pasture. It rose three cents in a week, and I was counting my paper money and congratulating myself on my shrewdness. Seriously consider- ed becoming a speculator and getting rich fast. In two weeks Ansley was down to twelve cents. In two months it was off the board, as we wheeler-dealers say. But the second'tip was too good to pass up. It came from a friend who was not only an ex-P.O.W. and therefore to be trusted, but a stock-broker and therefore on the inside. He was sinking every nickel he could raise into Eldridge, another gold stock. There really was a mine this time. So I went for 1,000 shares at 33 cents. Like the other, this stock immediately went u a few cents, no doubt due to heavy plungers like me. Then it began to slide, slowly and gracefully. When it was close to bottom, there was an announcement to shareholders of a reorganization of the company. It would now be called Elder and we would get one share of Elder for each eight shares of Eldridge we possessed.. This was a little disappointing, but it was better than a goose egg. Each year came glowing company reports of the great future for the stock. The reports were all we got. Then came another announce- ment. Elder was going to amalga- mate with Peel and the outlook was No Place t Breathing city air - inside or out - can be hazardous to your health. at Wesleyville and Lennox both of which will be oil-fired. In view of the present petro- leum supply situation, both the economic and environ- mental feasibility of these plants is questionable beyond 1980. 8. Some of the power transmitted from these sta- tions will be sold to the United States. I believe that Ontario Hydro has failed to demonstrate sufficient regard for the public in this undertaking and that their proposals should be unacceptable to the people of Clarke, I request your support in this regard. M. G. Malloy HYDROSHOULD GO NORTH Dear Editor: Following the two meetings with Ontario Hydro officials on Monday and Tuesday, I feel strongly that an alternative power corridor to the north of the present proposals should be considered. Reasons behind such a feeling are as follows: Land cost would be much less. Population is comparatively sparse, and much of the land is already owned by the provincial government. The north feed lines would encourage growth in that area, relieving further con- gestion in the south which is now in danger of over popula- tion whilè at present the north is unutilized and undeveloped. Power to the north would encourage small industries and communities to develop, thereby providing employ- ment for people of that area, while helping solve some of our transportation problems in the south that are already bad and will certainly worsen with time. Land is our most valuable commodity. We should use and develop it with the greatest care, enjoy it thank- fully while it's still around, but let us not . . . not let others, rape it. Commonsense and study by concerned people, not comput- ers, should determine our destiny and that of our children. Sincerely, Sally Harmer R. R. 1. andI Spicep By, Bill Smiley roses all the way. Again there was a juggling of shares. I wound u with twelve shares. Not bad when I started out with a mere 1,000. But hold. Peel-Elder actually did stagger through and is now a respectable stock, if the term is not automatically contradictory. My twelve shares are now worth almost as much as the original 1,000. In 25 years I am down only about $40. Except for that 1,000 shares of Ansley, which I've written off to experience. That's a pretty dang apt tmanciai career, if you ask me.~You thought this story was going to have a sad ending, didn't you? This all seems to have very little bearing on anything, but it does. When the Smileys finally decide to go to England, t he dollar is steadily slipping, and prices in Europe are rapidly inereasing. Result, the trip costs a lot more than we figured on. Somehow, there is a parallel there to my career in the stock market. "Why does anybody want to travel, anyway", groaned my wife, as she contemplated the horrors of getting ready. 'I'd much rather stay at home." Her trouble is that she's a woman. I could throw a sweater, shirts, socks and underwear in a bag and be off, without a backward look. She says, "But the house if filthy," and goes into an orgy of vacuuming and scrubbing. The place looked all right to me. "What am I going to wear? What shall we do with the cat? How can I be ready in time? What if it rains all the time? Who's going to mow the lawn? And on and on. I answer: "Just wear your swim suit. Then, if it rains, you'll be all set. You wouldn't be ready in time for your own funeral, and you wouldn't know what to wear. We'll put the cat on the back lawn and she can graze it, like a sheep." Like any wife, she truly appreciates under- standing and help like this. However, all hese things can be ironed out. It's the financial aspect that's bad. After spending a small fortune getting ready to go, I think we have enough left for a one-way ticket. We'll get home somehow. I have a rich niece in England. If she doesn't kick through with the home fares (and I think she would, with alacrity, after we'd visited her for a few weeks) we might have to swir' I should have stayed in the st market and bled to death slowly with dignity. £detter to the 8cltor 'o Hide City people who feel protect- ed against pollution by their air-conditioned apartments and office buildings may be jarred by a recent study from the government's Environ- mental Protection Agency. In a study of pollution levels in selected New York buildings, the agency discovered that hydrocarbon pollution - one of the byproducts of the combustion of coal, gas, and oil - was even higher inside the buildings than outside. Of the two sites studied, one is a new apartment complex which straddles the approach to one of the major bridges. Nearly 150,000 vehicles pass under the co~mplex eveydy. But the complex is high above the roadways and openly exposed to winds which help dissipate the fumes from below. Nevertheless, carbon monoxide levels inside the complex exceeded federal standards on all floors during the entire year. At another site - a midtown 20-storey office building where car fumes are trapped in city canyons - hydrocarbon levels were also higher inside than out. Carbon monoxide levels were even more excessive than for the apartment com- plex. The findings, which distress city dwellers, also have dire implications for futurè urban design, particularly for "air space" buildings. These build- ings straddle congested road- ways in an effort to use the air space above streets which, the EPA estimates, takes upr6o to 70 per cent of downtown land areas. Living and breathing is a problem, particularly in our cities. But pollution is every- where - in rural as well as urban areas. To find out how you can fight air pollution, contact your local lung asso- ciation. It's a matter of life and breath. Memorial Hospital Weekly Report Week of July 23-29 inclusive.
