BOWMA NVILLE Melbourne E. Turner, Representative Phones: Office, Visitors' Day at Plant a More Than 450 People Visit] Factory and Are Taken Through Entire Buildings --Various! Processes Are Explained (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, April 4.--Visitors' day at the Goodyear Plant was a most decided success from the man- agement's point of view and also from the aspect taken by the visit- ors. More than 450 people took advantage of the splendid oppor. tunity to visit the plant and be conducted through the entire build- ings. Bach minute detail was ex- plained by the guide at the head of every party. The day set aside was arranged for the public's benefit by the Manager, Mr. A. M, Hardy, Fifteen guides conducted the visitors through the plant continually from 1:30 o'clock until 4:30 o'clock, The groups were arranged in num- bers of 12 to 15. It generally re- guired an hour and a half for the group to make the round. Courtesy reigned throughout the whole transaction. The guests were conducted into the banquet hall where they waited until the re- turn of a guide. They then en- tered by way of the shipping room where the first course of lectures was given. Of special interest was the tour of the chemistry depart- ment, where a series of experiments were carried out for the interest of the visitors. Much informa- tion was gleaned from these sourc- §87; Res, 300 Goodyear Great Success es, and taken all round the trip through the Goodyear was educa- tional in the extreme. The general offices were another source of interest for the guests, Every "nook and cranny". of the plant was open for inspection and certainly this liberty was untilized. Many were the comments made by the visitors as they passed from one department to another. The hose department, where many yards of different sized hose tubing are maufactured, and the mixing rooms perhaps caused as much wonder- ment as could take place. The gi- gantic machinery and the novel equipment was an entirely new phase of manufacturing for most of the visitors and the sights wit- nessed this afternoon in the Good- year will long be remembered. Not only new visitors to the plant were present this year, but many of those who took advantage of the Special Day last year were again 'tourists'. The machinery is so entirely out of the ordinary as to what 1s seen in most factor- ies that the fascination is tremen- dous and generally quite overcomes one. At least this is the impres- sion that was generally seen by watching many of the faces of the visitors when a new machine was first shown. It is quite probable that he man- agement will again set aside the Visitor's Day next year, At any rate, it is hoped that they will do 80. Lesson of the future seems to be: When colonizing a country, build the cities near the coal mines.--Toronto Telegram. FINE PROGRAN THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, APRIL 5, 1928 0F MUSIC STUDY CLUB Mrs. Fred Palmer and Mrs. (Dr.) Bell in Charge of Entertainment (By Stat Reporter) Bowmanville, April 4.--Mrs. Fred Palmer and Mrs. (Dr.) Bell, of Bowmanville were in charge of the program of the regular meet- ing of the Bowmanville Music Study Program held this evening In st. Paul's Lecture Room. A large number attended the meeting which was one of the best that has been heard this season. Mrs. Bell gave a splendid talk on "Folk Songs" the base of many fine solos and instrumental num- bers. During the lecture, many of the original folk songs were sung by Mrs. Fred Palmer accompanied by Mrs. Ross. Altogether there was a collection of nine different folk groups, comprising the old English, Soottish, Hebridean, Breton, French, Italian and French-Cana- dian songs. A fine historical and interesting sketch on each group was related by the speaker. Of special men- tion were the stories concerning folk lore in the years B.C. The folk songs of that time were most- ly in Babylon and Nineveh. Refer- ence of these old songs is found in ancient tombs and ruins. "In the long - stretch of years from the fourth to the sixteenth centuries", stated Mrs. Bell, "much of the traditional love was spoken and sung, but not written, there- fore much of it was lost, although, no doubt, the effect still lives. "Much time and energy were spent on minstrelsy, which began in the Mediaeval Ages in Britain, By this means music was introdue- ed into every home in the king- dom and the songs that were writ- ten hecame National Songs."

DEWLAND, Limited each period was discussed in an interesting manner, The classes into which the folk songs are divid- ed into the historical songs, the patriotic songs, peasant songs and dance songs. The beautiful and tender love-lilts were also a strong feature of the folk-lore of the many different ages. Each style of song was a truly representative senti- ment of the people of the locality. Discussion dwelt for some time on the songs of the Hebrides. The speaker pointed out that the songs from this quarter are much less known than any other and for that reason were different and of much interest. She stated that myuch re- search might still be done with re- gard to these old songs and their histories. The lecture in general was one of the most interesting that has been yet given and illustrated in such detail and yet covering such a large series of sub-subjects, that it could not possibly be more fully treated. Mrs. Palmer firstly sang the se- lections of Old English Folk Songs, which, taken in order, were: Luten- ist's songs from "Rossiter's Book of Ayres", the "Northumberland Pipe Song" and the dance song "Come Lassies and Laddies". Mrs. Bell then gave instrumental selections of the following: Old Car- Carol, Old Carol Modernized; O!d Chimes Modernized, Old Dance, and Old Dance Modernized. The groups of Scottish Folk Songs followed sung by Mrs. Palmer and consisted of two well-kmown selections, a love lilt *Ca' the Yowes" and "Green grow the Rashes O'"", The "Scottish Reel," the 'Scottish Strth Spey', and the 'Scottische' with the "Country Dance" as a finale were played by Mrs. Bell, The group of Hebridean Songs collected and published by Mrs. Kennedy-Fraser were "The Cockle Gatherer" and "A Fairy Lullaby". Mrs. Palmer delightfully sang these special numbers, The Breton Folk Song "He went as a soldier" was given in admir- able style hy the soloist of the eve. ning, which was followed by the French Melody, the 'Minuet de Martini" on the piano. Mrs. Bell played the Italian love song, 'La Serenata" and brought the program to a close by the ren- dition of French-Canadian songs, "When I was Young and Pretty" and the plece "Coscilia', COUNCIL CLEANS UP BUSINESS Decide to Replace Wiring System of the Fire Department (By Staff Reporter)' Bowmanville, April 4, -- At a special meeting of the town coun- cil tonight a few important items which were left over from last Monday's meeting were brought up for discussion. rr -------- Bowmanville Customs For Fiscal Year More Than Three Times Those Increase in Town's Industriel Activity Responsible for Remarkable Gain in Col- lection -- Recipts Total. led $364,480.31, an In- crease of $266,216.94 (By Staff Reporter Bowmanville, April 4. -- The Canada Customs Office at Bow- manville issued its annual state- ment today in regard to their | yearly revenue.

The crew, in-' cluding Captain Schuttevaer, the, inventor and first helmsman, de- monstrated their claim that the boat was unsinkable, but they were somewhat disillusioned as to trav eelling power. Tremendous seas and a fierce gale mrauled the craft when she swung into the English Channel, The boat managed to get past Do- ver and Folkestone, but off East Bourne was forced to drop anchor. The rope soon snapped and so, bat- tened down tight, the crew rat- tled around inside the craft while huge billows and a western wind chased them back around for land, and into the north sea again. The lifeboat is now undergoing small repairs and will soon be ready to try for Plymouth once more. "We are going to cross the At- lantic," sald Skipper Smit, undis- nayed, insisting that no sea can sink the bobbing hoat. **We are go- | ing to prove to the world that we can face wind and seas that no open boat can sail against." Margate, B. B., Furber, who furnished plans for the erection of a gas)- | line station at the corner of King and Liberty Streets, will be again | asked for a further detail:d ac- count of his intentions in build- ing the newstation, It was de rided that the plans did not give sufficient details as to the where- abouts of the location of the tanks. The curbs and sidewalks at the same corner are being consider- ably smashed and broken from constant use by cars when driving up for gas and ofl supplies. It was decided by the council that these conditions will have to be remedied. Discussion centred around the replacement of the wiring system throughout the town for the fire department, Through the years this wiring has held up under weather conditions and other strains and that a replacement has heen decided upon. The committee will in the meantime look into .the matter with energy.
