Hunter. --Oshawa Times Photo New Plaza, Serviced Land Bowmanville '61 Growth BOWMANVILLE (Staff) What ailed and failed Bowman- ville, Darlington Township and Newcastle in 1961? What was accomplished and by whom during last year? First, Bowmanville's old bogey --lack of serviced land to offer industry--seems nearer resolu- tion. The year 1961 saw town plan- ners signing an undertaking that they would offer land for sale, at a nominal figure, provided the town would put in services to make the industrial site at- tractive to industry. The ap- propriate zoning bylaw has been passed by council; the of- ficial plan has still to be amend- ed. All that remains is for the On- tario Municipal Board to hold a hearing on the rezoning and the capital expenditures involved: The installation of a sewer and water main and building a bridge. Bowmanville's new $450,000 sewage treatment plant, sched- uled to be opened within the next few months, will not cost the town as much as it would; normally. Taking advantage of the fed-: eral government's new policy, the town entered into an agree- ment with Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation whereby the CMHC will purchase, at a good coupon (interest) rate, two- thirds of the debenture which will result. Also, if the project is completed by March 31, 1963, CMHC will forgive 25 per cent of the principal amount owing, or two-thirds of the interest to be carried. ' Low rental housing may. be coming to the town if the sur- vey conducted in late Septem- ber last year by the Department of Commerce and Development proves a need. Housing Branch representative, Miss Lynn Wal- lace, left bundles of question- naires at spots around town. The results should be made known to council soon. Toronto builder-agent A. E. Rankine will provide Bowman- ville with its first shopping plaza come late February, or early March. The six or seven-store plaza will have a Dominion store as its principal outlet. Plagued at first by a labor dispute. most of the exterior work on the build- ing has now been completed and workmen are working inside. Adjacent to this project, just behind the Brewer's Retail store, on King street east, a new Department of Agriculture building is also going up. TAX PROPOSAL DENIED Used to collecting tax arrears under the tax sales procedures of the Assessment Act the Town petitioned the county to do away with Tax arrears procedure under the Municpal Affairs: Act. On the present system since Sept. 30, 1952, the Town was notifed in a letter from the de- partment, received at the last council meeting -- no. Sixty-six more people made Bowmanville their home in 1961. The end of the year popu- lation now stands at 7,242. Another first for the town -- a museum -- opened its doors on Oct. 6. With $50,000 donated for the purpose by a town resident -- 90-year-old Mrs. L. B. Williams -- council bought for $25,000 the large Silver street home of the recently deceased Mrs. J. H. Jury. The remainder of the funds have been invested. A ten-mem- ber board appointed by council will look after the museum's in- terests. With six rooms of exhibits, the institution offers the visitor a peek into life in the Bowman- ville district at the turn of the century. How does the town stand fi- nancially? The debenture debt is $1,189,- 186. Assegsment for 1962 taxes is $7,688.687. This is an increase of $198,388 over last year's as- sessment. The breakdown is: residential, 65 per cent; commercial and in- dustrial, 30.52 per cent; and approval is awaited. The first and second reading of the en- abling bylaw was given by towr. council. "This means that unless farm and vacation resorts, 4.48 per cent. Town government was shuffled around at the turn of the year. Sitting on town coun- cil last Tuesday night, after a whopping 40 per cent sloshed out to vote in early December twere: Mayor Ivan Hobbs, last lterm's Deputy-Reeve, in by ac- clamation after Wilfred Car- ruthers stood down; Reeve Sid- ney Little, in again by acclama- tion; Deputy-Reeve Ross Stev- ens, by acclamation, taking the vacant chair; Councillors Glen- holme Hughes, Wesley Fice and Annie Oke, who retained their seats; and the new blood some unforeseen obstacle is en- countered, Bowmanville should be able to offer serviced indus- trial sites to industry at attrac- tive prices by mid-1962."

(CP) -- Three children died early today when fire destroyed their three- storey 15-room farm home near this community, 20 miles north- west of Montreal. The victims were Monique Dufresne, 9, her sister, Manon, 4, and her brother, Mario, 2. The parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jean-Paul Dufresne, were se- verely burned. Rushed to hospi- tal in Montreal, their condition is "critical." It was the second triple- tragedy involving children in Quebec during a 12-hour period. Monday night, three children were killed and a fourth was seriously injured when their toboggan slid into the path of an oncoming car near their home at Judd's Mills, 80 miles east of Montreal. Kenneth Smith, 12, and his sisters Jeffie, 8, and Linda, 9, died and another sister, 10-year- old Diane, was taken to hospital with a broken neck and leg. On Sunday night in the Que- bec City suburb of Beauport, three children of Mr. and Mrs. Jean-Paul Cote died in an ava- lanche when 10-feet of snow rolled down a cliff where they | A-Furnace Economical And Hotter By M. McIntyre Hood Special To The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Britain's nuclear power scientists have succeed- ed in perfecting the most econ- omical and hottest atom furnace in the world. It can be used-in a new type of nuclear station which could produce power at least 20 times cheaper than the present atomic power stations. was put through extensive thor- This advance in cheapening the cost of nuclear power has been achieved at the Atomic Energy Authority's $60,000,000 atom station at Dounreay in the North of Scotland. The station was put through extensive thor- ough trials in December and it is now. due to be switched on again before the end of Jan- uary. SEVEN-YEAR EFFORT This successful break-through to cheaper atomic power has come after seven years of con- struction and experimentation at the station. There have been several setbacks, which have now been overcome, at this ex- nerimental atom unit which will be used as a prototype for the atomic power stations of the 1970's. Before this success was a- chieved, the Dounreay station had given trouble on so many occasions that many scientists had given up the idea of mak- ing it work satisfactorily. Now they are looking forward to building it up to generate elec- tricity within the next 10 years. VITAL SMALL CORE The station is housed within a giant steel ball, 135 feet in dia- meter. It now produces cheap power because it "breeds" two atoms for every one it burns. From a core of uranium fuel the size of a garbage can, it generates enough heat to run 60,000 one-bar electric fires. The difficulties which has hin- dered the progress of the scien- tists came from the cooling sys- tem. Out of the core they had to drain the heat with liquid metal, which could have been danger- our had it come into contact with the cooling water. Now the snags have been overcome. Extra safeguards had to be built into the Dounreay station, since the uranium furnace was virtually a controlled atomie bomb. Several times since it was built, the furnace had to be completely dismantled so that modifications could be made in had been playing.
