WHITB Whitby Bureau Office Mana-er: Lloyd Robertson Y and DISTRICT : 111 Dundas St. West Tel. MO. 8-3703 WHITBY COUPLE WINS BOWLING TROPHY Recelving the Red Wing Rose Bowl Trophy from Mr. and Mrs. Dick Adams (right) are Mr. and Mrs. Don Tutt of Whitby (left), Mr. and Mrs. Tutt were the victors of the mixed doubles event which at- tracted 16 out-of-town rinks. It was the sixth annual tourna- ment for the trophy, which was donated by Mr. and Mrs. Nor- man Irwin, who were repre- sented in the presentation of | the prizes by Mr. and Mrs, lence on Evangelism at the On- Adams. The second and third place of the tournament was won by two Bowmanville rinks. --Oshawa Times Photo Tenders Called For City Hall Demolition Whitby council has decided to) call for tenders for- the demoli- tion of the present town hall at Brock and Colborne street. The town offices are expected to] move to the new town hall on Dundas street west, early in Sep- tember. The decision to order the razing of the present hall appears, fol- lowing discussion in council, to pave the way for a municipal parking lot on the old town hall site. The Chamber of Commerce, at a meeting some weeks ago, asked council to consider such a move. Mayor Stanley Martin. at a special meeting of council this week, introduced the motion that tenders be called for the demoli- tion of the present building, He pointed out in proposing the mo- tion that the present fire hall would be retained at its present site, that is immediately south of the town hall. MOVE POLICE BACK ... . .. Reeve Everett Quantrill said that the day may come when the police department may have to move back to the same site as the fire hall. He suggested that it may come to pass that police officers will also act on the fire department. It the fire hall were removed, he said, it could mean the end of a volunteer fire brigade. In that event, he said, it would cost at least $25,000 annually to retain permanent fire fighters. He said that he would not favor selling the present site for these rea- sons and suggested that a park- ing lot on the 292 x 82 foot lot would revitalize the centre of town. Councillor William Davidson said that property values will always increase and it was pos. sible that in 10 years, the prop- erty would be worth twice as much as it is today. Councillor Harry Inkpen said that he would advocate selling the present site. He also said that he would further recommend that low a parking area since, in his opinion, the builder should be expected to provide his own park- ing area, maybe under the build. ing or at street level. He said that he did not ap- prove leaving an open space so near the centre of the town. He suggested that eventually Elm street, which he termed a nuis- ance street, could be stopped up and used for a parking area. He said he was in sympathy with the problem of parking as it affected the downtown mer- chants but he did not favor los- ing a potential commercial assessment to provide a parking area. Councillor George Brooks said that Whitby's parking situation is not good and the downtown busi- ness section is choked with traf- fic at the present time. He said that a potential shopper in the downtown section now considers |felt there is no other place in (town as suitable for a fire aall as the present site, He said that Whitby's fire losses, over the past 10 years, | had averaged 93 cents per capita, | second to none in Canada.

He said that he agreed with| the Mayor's suggestion that the| building be razed and used as a parking lot until such time as an Extension is needed for the fire all. Councillor Robert Hastings said that it seemed to him that the himself lucky if he can find a from the business section. Councillor Brooks said he could see no other spot for it other than where it is now. He suggest- ed that it might improve the situ. ation if the building had a rear entrance to prevent tieing up traf. fic while returning to the station. "I think this land is more valu- able to Whitby than to anyone else," he said, as he noted his approval that the land be cleared. Mayor Martin said that he could not go along with any ideas of selling the properiy until it has been decided what will be done with the fire department. Parking meters on the lot, he said, may earn more (han would be realized through commercial assessment. In any event, he said, the town is in no position to contemplate a new fire hall at this time, Deputy-reeve Warren Mowat, who is also secretary of the the purchaser, when he builds, be requested to move back to al- Whitby Volunteer Fire Company, said that members of the brigade council should be ~ontemplating parking spot on either Brock moving the fire hall, eventually or Dundas street. {to the new municipal But, he said, there would beirather than think of moving the no point in the town supplying police department back to the parking six or seven blocks away |fire hall, He said that he did not building, approve the suggestion that the As for the fire department,||ot he metered and he did: not|the fire, management had placed {think that clearing a parking {space for 40 cars would solve the {parking problem to any great extent. Revamp Plant In Four Days VANCOUVER (CP) -- Execu- tives of the Vancouver sawmill, division of B.C, Forest Products took just four days to reorganize after a $3,000,000 fire destroyed the mill July 3. By midnight on the day of the] fire temporary offices had been| set up in the Georgian Towers and executives were reviewing copies of insurance policies. By 5 p.m. the next day lease of four floors in the new office block had been arranged. Elec- tricians and telephone men worked to prepare for the arrival of the firm on the following day. Almost every desk or piece of office equipment that could be leased in Vancouver was snapped up as well as some ancient city hall furniture. Bought outright | were other pieces of equipment |including pencils, stationery, |typewriters and calculating ma. Lan By the fourth day all 110 office employees and senior executives| were at desks working. Fire-resistant filing cabinets and fireproof vaults had saved |company records and maps. | One problem they could not | solve was the loss of jobs by 200 {mill workers.

The conference is under the auspices of the Board of Evan- gelism and Social Service of the United Church of Canada. Through the medium of "vari. in the vast field of Evangelism and Social Service. nev. George W. Birtch, min- Conference Set For Evangelism devotional addresses each day. Dr. Birtch's general theme will be "The Shepherd Faith." Professor James 8. Stewart, of Edinburgh, Scotland, will speak on "Preaching and Doc- trine." Professor Charles E. Hendry, director, School of Social Work, University of Toronto, will speak on "The Church and the Welfare Society." The theme of Professor J. C. MicLelland, of the Presbyterian College, Montreal, will he "Is This Our Father's World." The chairman of the conference will be Rev. Arthur Orgam, of Montreal, and the secretary will be the Rev. J. R. Mutchmor. There will be action galore at the Whitby arena tonight when the Whitby Red Wings, the OLA Jr. A champions, host the wood chopping St, Catharines Athletics in the third game of a best of seven Eastern Canada semi- finals, The series stands at one game each, the Red Wings hav- ine won the opener here on Mon- day night 12-6 and then dropped the second game 11-9 in a wild and poorly handled game in St. Catharines on Wednesday night. Game time tonight is 8.30. The Whitby team who have not won a game in St. Catharines this year or lost one to the A's here in Whitby will have a lot at stake tonight when they take the floor for this all important con- test. The Whitby not lost a home game to .any team this year and is a real good club. But one thing they have to remember that they can not win games in the penalty box. However on the other hand they took much more abuse than they should have had to on Wed- nesday night, but that was due to very lax refereeing. Some of the fellows may have the idea that they will go out tonight and kick the tar out of the St. Kitt's fel- lows, but believe me that is not ihe idea. Yes, kick the tar out of them in a scoring mammer, but not with your stick (unless they start the swinging). Another thing is that the Whitby team needs every player there for this game, This idea of having only two lines is no good, especially against a team as powerful as this St. Catharines club, The full co-operation of every player is needed to the fullest and only this will take them on to higher heights in the series. We understand from manager Ivan Davie that Paul Tran will be in uniform for tonight's game. Paul is a real competitive play- er and gives his best at all times, He also acts as a policeman and takes a back step from no one. Two fellows that will bear a lot of watching in tonight's gme are Bill Biggs and , Charlie Grandy, a pair of Brooklin boys. Biggs played one of his best games of the season on Wednes- day night as he tried very hard. Biggs has the size and the ability to make the road to the Whitby net very rough. Grandy on the other hand is a real heads up player with plenty of heart. He too can take care of himself team has| |these two teams when they hit when the going gets rough, and is dapgerous around the opposi- oa hry Charlie will be heard from before tonight's game is too far under way. JUST TALKING . . . We chat- ted with some of the fans in regard to the game and they were all of the same opinion that the Whitby team should have won the game, However they were slashed and chopped at {almost every turn and it did not seem to matter to the feferees. «+ + One fan reported that the St, Kitt's goalie was forever yelling to his players to give them (Whitby) the stick until it hurts. . . . This is one kind of thing that will not make too many friends with any team, and from what we can understand there will be no love between the floor tonight at the Whitby arena. . . . We feel that the Whitby team can win but they will have to play all out lacrosse and not be at half strength or short of players. . . . The local team should win at least one game in the Garden City if they want to make the road a little easier. . . . So with lots of fan support that we are sure they are going to get, the Whitby team should come up with a big win here and take a 2-1 lead in the series. Let's hear a chant of "Go Red Wings Go" get under way and show the fellows we are right behind them. Old Bridge Renovated WEST MONTROSE, Ont. (CP) Ontario's only remaining covered bridge is being renovated after local historical society members fought demolition in the path of prog- ress, The 196-foot, 79-year-old bridge across the Grand River, 15 miles northwest of Kitchener, was to be replaced by a metal span. The highways department, ac- cedding to tradition, mow has agreed to repair it. The covered bridge, made principally of white pine, has 20 shutter-type windows, like vene- tian blinds, which let in some light. Old lanterns still hang from the roof, but are being converted to electricity. Pickering. Wally Samanski and Bill Stacey combined to do the pitching for Whitby, with Stacey coming on in the seventh.
