4 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Scturdey, December 30, 1961 WHITBY and DISTRICT Whitby Bureau Office: Manager: Lloyd Robertson 111 Dundas St. West Tel. MO. 8-3703 ® EDITOR'S NOTE: Whitby R. A. HUTCHISON SCHOOL IS NOW FILLED TO CAPACITY 1961 IN REVIEW WHITBY SPORTS PARADE By GERRY BLAIR Ended With The enrvlment of pupils in Whitby's eight public schools is Not may hours remaining in this year 1961 with 1962 just around the corner about to bring us many surprises. When the gong strikes 12 tomorrow evening, loved ones take time out to wish another a prosperous New Year, then recall many develop- ments from the previous 365 days. As for the sports fraternities in the Whitby district there weren't too many glorious moments, Last spring, the Whitby Hillerests Junior "B" hockey club bowed to Peter- boro in the league finals after making a noteworthy comeback against the Belleville McEarlands winning three straight to capture the semi-final set, 4-3. In the softball category of sports, Whitby Abner's Essos were eliminated in short order along the OASA Senior "B" trail by Oshawa Heffering's Imperials. The Junior "A" lacrosse Red Wings after a fruitful season in 1960 advancing right to the Minto Cup finals, had to settle for "B" competition in post- season playdowns when age problems beset them and they lost several key players. Out Brooklin way, Senior lacrosse was inaugurated very successfully by Gene Dopp and a group of enthusiastic hard working gentlemen, The Hillcrests went down to the wire in semi-final play-offs against the Brampton Ramblers before saying adieu in the seventh tilt. But they should be back better than ever come 1962, BETTER NEXT YEAR? The fall of 1961 brought Whitby and district fans a Junior "A" hockey club -- a first for the constantly increasing every year and 1961 was no exception. In 1960 there were 1993 public school pupils attending Whitby public schools and this year the figure has increased to 2112. Although the public. school machine added six more class- rooms with the opening of the R. A. Hutchison Public School in March of this year, it is evi- dent by projecting future enrol- ment that an additional Senior Public School will have to be built in the ruture. The board began studying this project in the fall and more announce-| ments are anticipated early in 1962. | The new R. A. Hutchison} School during 1961 had an at-| tendance per classroom of 37.6) students and, its six classrooms and kindergarten are filled to) capacity. With an increased en- Oshawa Times Photo Staggered Classes New School Industrial Comm. Larry Cond, at the request of the Times, has compiled the following results of 1961 in Whitby and its industrial growth.) Industrial. growth in Whitby during the past year has been unusual for the number of firms which have expanded their facilities. No less than nine companies have enlarged their plants and. carried out enterprise improvements. Probably the largest invest- ment is being made by Dupont of Canada who are adding 3,000 square feet to their present building on Dunlop drive. This is a major expansion in order to house new equipment which will produce the latest types of polyethylene film. Over all capacity of the plant will be almost doubled. Two firms on Beech street, both in the electronic equipment field, have shown remarkable development. Earlier in the year Andrew Antenna Corporation tripled the size of their plant with an addition of 16,800 9 Whitby Industries Built Additions In '61 Van Camp, and Lofthouse Brass manufacturing. These are im- portant additions to the indus- trial tax base and help to main- ~ tain a well diversified growth pattern. The changes at Dunlop of The tour, an annual event, included the residential areas of Oshawa and Whitby 'to per- mit the guests to inspect the holiday lighting on the various homes. Following the tour, the guests were invited to the homes of garden club members for lunch and tea. Providing cars for the tour were Mrs F. Ing, Mr. E. Bond, Mr. Harold Brown, Mr. 0. Moore, Mr. R. VanHorne and Mrs. S. I. Burns. Garden Club Provides Tour For Residents Members of the Whitby Gar- den Club on Wednesday eve- ning were hosts to a group of residents of Fairview Lodge on a tour of Whitby and Oshawa and later for lunch and tea. The group was transported in six cars supplied by the club. Canada are especially interest- ing. Here. the original office building has been doubled in size with the addition of a sec- ond storey of 1,100 square feet. The new offices recently com- pleted will be occupied by head office personnel formerly locat- ed in Toronto. The actual additions to our total industrial and commercial assessment will not be spectacu- lar but will represent a solid gain in the right direction. 1961 has been a year in which the over all development in the town has been much better balanced than heretofore. This is the type of evidence which helps to establish what is often LARRY COND these firms would appear to be ; 4 : good in the new year. called a healthy industrial cli mate.

In 1961 there were 71 teachers in the available 64 classrooms and the year previous there were 57 classrooms and 70 teachers. The schoo! board anticipates that in June of this year there will be 186 students graduating from Grade 8 and that by Sep- tember there will be a Grade 1 enrolment of 281. It is interesting to note that since 1951, when the enrolment was 651 students, the figure is well over four times as large (2,108), The enrolment increase has been constant. since 1949, ap- proximately 100 each year, ex- cept for 1959 when there were 340 additional students than the year before that.

It was a move which caused me con- siderable pains involving manager Ivan Davie and his executive trying to educate them on the values of publicity -- which at one time was the furthest thought from their minds, I wonder if they still main- tain the same impressions after witnessing the 1,100 fans in attendance for last Tuesday's clash with Marlboros. I am by no means intimating that I was solely responsible-far from it -- but I can take my share of the credit (however great it may be) after having to cope with the insolence and ignorance thrown my way during the past few months. It is my wish that on my next phone call to Mr. Davie in the New Year that I will receive a more intelli- gent conversation from him than "No comment", Who knows, we may end up the best o'pals before the conclusion of this hockey season. As for the play- ers, I wish them nothing but success in their first year venture against well-established hockey- clubs like St. Michael's and Marlboros. In closing, I wish the continued fine play by Wren Blair's Kingston Frontenacs, although they have well over half of a gruelling schedule to go. -- I wish that the Boston Bruins will win the Stanley Cup (who's to say that they won't). And in a plain and simple fashion I wish you a Happy and Pros- perous New Year. TOWN AND COUNTRY...

Infant Care, Junior Worship ALL FOR THE CHURCH The Church is the greatest factor on earth for the building of character and good citizen- ship. It is a storehouse of spiritual values. Without a strong Church, neither democracy nor civilization can survive. There are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regularly and support the Church. 'They are: (1) For his own sake. (2) For his pect vase (3) For the sake of his com- munity and nation: (4) For the Church itself, which needs his whey pe sy terial support. Plan to go to church regularly and read your Bible daily, Dey Book Chapter Sunday Matthew 25 Monday Proverbs 6 Tuesday Psalms 103 'Wednesday Luke 12 'Thursday James a Friday Haggat 1 Saturday Hebrews 6 Veres 1-13 6-15 11-18 16-21 13-17 18 1-12 THIS FEATURE IS CONTRIBUTED TO THE CAUSE OF THE CHURCH BY THE FOLLOWING psychological advantage. They could see time passing. And as each fine grain slipped through the neck of the glass, a man's conscience would whisper within him: less time left! When we look at a clock its hands seem motionless. Is that why millions put off the important decisions that ought to be made right now? Whatever its cause, procrastination is a disease. It lulls the senses into indolence. It wastes our energy on trivial i while important tasks remain undone. Especially it --" the soul, tempting man to believe that there will be plenty of time later to tend to his spiritual needs. But the cure is simple... and immediate. Just set the ala clock and begin the New Year with worl in your Church, You'll soon be facing every important task with cagemess and courage and faith! Gopyright 1961, Keister Adv.
