The Port Perry plant will op- erate under the company name of Hoover Universal Canada Ltd., and will continue to produce vehi- cle seat tracks for the automotive industry. The deal was officially final- ized August 1 with A.G. Simpson retaining ownership of the plant and land and Hoover operating with a long term lcase. Plant manager Bill McQuade told the Star he is optimistic that Hoover will be able to increase production by 20 per cent over the next year, and will be adding about 30 production workers, bringing the number of plant em- ployees to 200 by early in the New Year. Mr. McQuade said Johnson Controls had been looking for a plant in Canada to manufacture seat track assemblies. The compa- ny now has a plant in Orangeville which produces complete vehicle seats and two in Tilsonburg which produce the foam padding for vehi- cle seats. "Being able to get the seat track plant here was ideal for the company," he stated. Along with increasing the number of production workers by 30, Mr. McQuade said there will be six new positions created for the salaried staff. The plant is located on Oyler Drive, just off the Oshawa Road, one mile south of Port Perry. Separate Board to have North Durham trustee For the first time ever, there will be a Seperate School Board trustee elected exclusively to rep- resent the three "northern munici- palities" in Durham Region. In the past, the interests of Seperate School supporters from Scugog, Brock and Uxbridge Townships had been a represented by a trustee from either Whitby or Pickering. Earlier this summer, the Dur- ham Seperate School Board rec- ommended that the three Town- ships have their own trustee and the that recommendation was con- firmed by the provincial Education Minstry August 24. The change will take effect in time for the municipal and school board election this November 14. Tia Woodcroft, the current Seperate School trustee for Scu- gog and Brock, will be getting off the School Board this year to run for the Ward 1 on Scugog Town- ship council in the Novembe? 14 election.
