BOWMANVILLE, ONT., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1,931 $2.00 a Year in Advance 5e a Copy No. 39 Bowmanville Mercliants' Twin Dollar Days m Friday and Saturday WVILLIAMS CLAN HOLD RE-UNION AT CREAM 0F BARLEY CAMP Descendants of Richard Williams Who Landed ini Canada in 1850 Enjoyed Splendid Picnic on Saturday In 1850 Richard Williams lef t the old land and af ter a stormy nine weeks' trip across the Atlantic Oc- ean in a sailing vessel landed in Catnada, ittent on makmng himiself and the mnembers of his family use- fui citizens of the young country that had at that turenefot reached the stage of confederation. *Last Saturday descendants of bis f amily to the number of over 150 gathered at the Cream of Barley Camp for a family re-union. Descendants were present f rom Bowmanviile, Oshawa, Cartwright, Hope Township, Hampton, Darling- ton and Port Hope. The afternoon was spent in a real old time get- together with old acquamntances be- ing renewed and family affairs be- ing discussed. Gray-haired men of 80 summers and infants in arms formed part of that gathering, al there to honor the family naine and commemorate the f amily bistory. During the afternoon a gaine of softbafl was played between the maie and f emale species of the tribe Which resulted i a tie, the gaine remaining unfinished when the sup- per bell sounded. 145 sat down at the long tables to a sumptuous sPread that cornbined the culmnary arts of ail branches of the family. Durmng the supper, speeches were made. Eighty-year-old Dr. J. D. Whbite, Port Hope, one of the oldest niembers of the family, retold the f amilY history. He told of the per- ilous .iourney across the Atlantic and the landing of the Williams fay,.. comprised of father and mother, four sons and four daughters, in Canada. The family settled in Hope township but poor land and crops forced a general move into West Durham, and Caesarea became the location where many of the family settled. Froin that family has grown the large number that was present on Saturday, in addition to about 50 more who were unable to come. Plans were made to make this an annual af air and it was generaily agreed that no fmner place could be found for the rendevous than the Cream of Barley Camp. Election of officers resulted in ;Ex-Reeve Silas Willams of Hamp- ton becommng president; George Wiliams of Osbawa. secretary; and Wilniott Prouse of Port Hope, sec- retary.

The strong position held by the Town of Bowmanviiie in the com- mercial and industriai 111e 0f the Province of Ontario la reflected in the pages of the Canada Year Book for 1931, issued by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics at Ottawa, and which bas just come to hand. The remarkable strengtb 0f Bowmanviile industries when compared witb th-,se of nearby centres shows the town to be in 31st place as a man- ufacturing town among the tawns and cities of Ontario. If it la to be conceded that the old adage 'figures don't lie"' la true, then Bo3wmanville bolds an enviable position among the towns and cit- ies of the province. For the sake 0f comparison and also to reveal to the residents 0f the town the financial strengtb 0f the rnunicipaiity we are giving corres- ponding figures for Port Hope, Whitby and Cobourg, ail towns nearby, and each having a popula-' tion around tbat boasted by Bow- manville. The followmng figures show the number of industries or concernas in the four towns and the amount 0f capital employed in these industries. Industries Capital Employed Bowmanville 19 $4,608,370 Port Hope 30 3.600.872 Whitby 8 790,588 Cobourg 25 2,650.434 These figures plainly show that whlle Port Hope and Cobourg have more industries in their towns there is more capital employed In Bow- manville than in any one of themn and there la as much in Bowman- ville as either of Port Hope and Wbitby or Cobourg and Wbltby put together. The ensuing figures show the number of people employed sud the amount paid in wages ta the four towns: No. of Salaries Employees sud Wages Bowmanville 675 $647.472 Port Hope 665 879,701 Whitby 223 245,759 Cobourg 418 43342 These figures provide foo o tbougbt. Bowmnauville la empioying; the largeat number of men sud yet1 la the smailest in population, lu addition, and rather regrettably the1 figures show, tbat Bowmanvllle bas1 the iowest scale 0f wages in the four1 towns. Each 0f the other three av- erage out weii over $1000 per em- ployee per annuin wbiie Bowman- ville averagea out considerably less. Wby tis situation exista la bard to tell, but tbe above figures show thia very forcibly. The remaining set of figures are perhapa the most surprising of tisose pubiisbed concerning Bowmanville. They give the cost of material used in Bowmanville industries sud the gross value 0f the goods manufact- ured in Bowmanville factories: Cost of Gross Value Material 0f Goods Manufactured Bowmanville $1,860,218 $4.069.339 Port Hope 765.611 2.384.062 Whitby 433,349 808,335 Cobourg 1,131,534 2,330,6461 The above figures show Bowman- ville lu the lead in the amount of capital employed in industry, the largeat number of employees, the second largest amount paid in wages and salaries, sud by far the largeat value 0f goods manufactured lu the four towns. The huge suma of money that are invested in these four townsansd the huge suma obtained through their manufacturing plants la seen better by these totals. Total number 0f industries, 82; total capital empioyed, $11.660,264; total number of employees, 1981: salaries sud wages, $2.206,352; total cost of materials, $4,190,712; total gross value of gooda manufactured, $9.592.382. nearly bal! 0f the latter being obtaîned f rom Bowmanville factories.

As far as streets are con- cerned there la very little work that can be done, and even if there was the money would be mostly expend- ed on material for rond building ai not, as the coundil wouid wish, on baud labor.
