The new firm plans a one-storey modern, landscaped south end of town, overlooking the lake. It will be approximately 20,- 000 square feet and will employ initially about 50 workers.

DREAM OF YEARS To most Beavertonians it ap- pears as if a dream of the past 40 years is about to come true. Forty years ago, Beaverton was a thriving industrial-harbor town with double its present population. There were two hotels and 15 in- dustries. The village provided a factory at | Plant | snug, safe harbor for the steam- | boats plying Lake Simcoe but with the coming of the auto age Beaver- ton opened at the seams and rapid- ly sank to its present state. Two small industries employing a score of men each, one hotel and the tourist trade, are its main re- sources now. +The village now consists of about 50 per cent retired farmers and 50 per cent merchants and their employees. When a youngster {leaves school he leaves town for there is no employment in Beaver- | ton. Some do commute to jobs in Orillia, Oshawa and Newmarket.

FAMILIAR SIGHT CRAWLEY, England (CP)---Lon- don women who moved to this new town in Sussex missed the "barrow boys," London's famed nrerchants on wheels. Bus Route Is Approved City council last night agreed to a proposal from the Oshawa Rail- way Company for the re-routing of buses travelling on Route 6 in the city. At present the buses go north on Celina and the company pointed out that the service on that street duplicated that .on Simcoe Street only one block to the west. Ald. Herb Robinson wanted to see the new route go to Hillside instead of Tresane as the company proposed. He admitted there was a hill at Hillside but the board of works was to make alterations there and the modern buses had plenty "of power to negotiate the grade. It would also help serve the | Cromwell and Park Road area if |the buses used Hillside. | In approving the new route coun- |eil decided to ask the company to | consider using Hillside on Route 6.
