w With Which Are Incorporated The Bowmanville News, The Newcastle Independent, And The Orono News VOLUME 90 BOWMANVILLE, ONT., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14th, 1944 Goodyear Co. & Local Hydro Expand for Post War Needs. Plans long formulated by both the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company and the local Hydro El- ectric and Power Commisssion to meet present ana post-war needs are rapidly coming to fruition in the construction of new units shortly to be completed. The Goodyear Co. has completed two new buildings this year and ex- cavations are now at work in the flats building a dam which will back up creek water to create a small lake about 2 acres in area and 6 feet deep. This will pro- vide water necessary for their circulating system as auxiliary to water presently supplied by the Commission, which service, how- ever will not be diminished be- cause of the new supply. The Hydro Commission, faced for some time with an overload of consumption in light and pow- er, are now preparing to meet all contingencies for the next few years by building an addition to the substation adjacent to the Goodyear plant. Excavation is under way for construction which will cost an approximate $20,000. But this will be of temporary character for plans call for an en- tirely new plant to be built at the rear of the Allen residence on Queen St., and including a corner of Rotary Park. The new build- ing will go up, possibly within five years. In these present expansions is evidence that the executive of both Goodyear and Hydro are alive to post-war needs and are creating facilities designed to in- crease production and thus main- tain local employment at a high level. Their present activities are concrete examples for community stability of which we have heard so much lately but to which citi- zens generally have not set their hands by way of co-ordinated ef- fort in the many avenues open for improvement to make the town a better place in which to live and work. Now that many are being stimulated to think of post-war plans we present a short summary of our observations acquired on a tour of the ex- pansions of Goodyear and Hydro, and of the blueprint made some ý,ears ago by the Rotary Club which portay a modernized com- munity -re. The Gidyear Company, both in Canada and the U.S.A. was one of the foremost industrial cor- porations to plan early for post- war needs and their program in Canada, both at the huge Toronto plant and in Bowmanville has gone steadily forward in plant ex- tensions long before the govern- ment's outline of an industrial bank and general support for in- dustrial expansion. In this case, industry has shown a leadership which is reflected in plans of The Canadian Manufacturers' Associ- ation and Goodyear has been in the forefront of putting these plans into effect. At the Bowmanville plant, where war production has consid- erably been in evidence, the changeover to peacetime produc- tion has been niet with commend-j able foresight and week after week has appeared advertise- ments for more help to man the plant for peacetime production. The want and need for manu- factured products following upon the declaration of peace is now re- flected in present plant expan- sions. The Company has not wait- ed upon governments for leader- ship and if every community could be animated with the same spirit, the problem of unemploy- ment would be greatly overcome. The local Hydro Commission., likewise has kept pace with the problem of industrial expansion with its present extension..There may be critics who will disparage present expenditure as temporary in character but their present financial balance sheet is capable of disarming criticism and their long-range plans for new plant are underwritten in the fact of past performance. Debenture debt has been entirely written off and increased patronage which is bound to accrue will in short shift liquidate all'proposed extensions. For Bowmanville and the entire district these pres- ent building projects are fraught with complete post-war success. Correlative with all this are the blueprints above referred to which, if given effect, would make the entire community the envy of towns of like size in the province. The plans as drawn would convert the creek flats in- to a community centre embracing playgrounds, swimming pools, athletic grounds, shaded walks, parking spaces, landscaped slopes and in general a scenic panorama the like of which is seldom seen. Such a project, of course, takes money but we have demonstrated in this war that money is of sec- ondary importance in undertak- ing projects of high importance. With these observations it may be possible to enlarge upon them and clarify in the public view the means by which complete co- operative endeavor might be em- ployed in the building of a town commensurate with our best ideals. Paper Salvage Drive Needs Your Support Bowmanville citizens didn't do too well in the last paper salvage drive. There were scores.of peo- ple who didn't put out a single bundle in front of their homes to help the war effort. This is a very simple, yet much needed contribution to aid in bringing the 'war to a victory for the Allies. The paper collection takes place in town, Friday, Sept. 22, so get busy today and gather up all the waste paper, newspapers, cardboard cartons. Bundle them up securely and lay them aside for the salvage drive Sept..f22. In the nearby villages citizens are requested to take their bundles to a central place in your community on Thursday, Sept. 21, -by 6:30 p.m., when towp trucls will pick them up.

KILLED IN ACTION Pte. Harvey Mahaffy Son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Mahaffy, Nestleton, who was re- ported killed in action in France according to an official telegran received by his parents, August 18. Harvey enlisted in 1942 and went overseas July, 1943, with the Blackwatch Regiment. He was 27 years old. Before en- listing he was employed with the General Motors, Oshawa. Sur- viving, besides his parents, are six brothers, Tom and Norman, with the Canadian Army at Camp Borden, Bruce, Canadian Army in England, Robert, Bill and Grant and five sisters, Viola, May, Doris, Ella and Iva. Cpi. H. J. Kilgannon Reported Killed In Italy In an official telegram received Saturday, D. M. Kilgannon, Lib- erty St., was advised that his son, Cpl. Harold • J. Kilgannon has been killed in action in Italy. In the June 1 issue of The Statesman was a report of the wounding in action of Cpl. Kilgannon who now has paid the supreme sacrifice. Here is another case of a wounded soldier returning to the front after recovery in hospital to re- sume the fight for our freedom while Zombies under protection of our government at home are withheld firom providing rein- forcements overseas. Cpl. Kilgannon enlisted with the lst Midland Regiment over 4 years ago and volunteered for service overseas. He transferred to the lst Irish Regiment with which unit attached to Mont- I gomery's 8th Army, he took part in storming the beaches of Sicily and continued onward with the invasion of Italy until finally he met with wounds and death just as the fighting is drawing to a close. . With his father and family to mourn his passing is his wife, the former Doris Offen and their four children now living in Toronto. Cpl. Kilgannon, before enlisting, was employed at the Goodyear plant in Bowmanville, and on be- half of the family and the wide circle of friends of this heroic soldier, The Statesman bespeaks tl&e sympathy of the entire com- munity. Pte. Ron E. Richards On Leave ln Italy A despatch from war corre- spondent, Major Bert Wemp, M.C. ta his paper, the Toronto Tele- gram, tells of meeting many Can- adian soldiers on leave in Rome, Italy. Among them he encoun- tered Ron. E. Richards, Bowman- ville, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Richards, Centre St. Major Wemp writes: Fallowing their grand womk in connection with the invasion o!

McLaughlins Industrial Progress Featured ai Fair Three-quarters of a century in the development of Canadian transportation was a prime fea- ture shown at Oshawa Fair dur- ing the present week. Displayed under canvas was an exhibit pre- pared by General Motors of Can- ada, which, with pictures and actual vehicles, traced the growth of the present Corporation from the McLaughlin Carriage Co., established at Enniskillen by Robert McLaughlin in 1869. The sign, "75 Years of Progress in Transportation" over the spacious tent attracted a continual flow of spectators, many of whom re- membered the early days at Enniskillen. By invitation, the editor of The Statesman was accorded a per- sonally conducted tour of the dis- play and this brief summary is an attempt to project for the read- ing public unable to be present, something of the picture that passed under review. George A. Fletcher, son of Rev. W. P. Fletch- er, Bowmanville, a young man who is assistant to General Motors' Public Relations Counsel, was the genial and friendly host of the tour. At the exhibit was also found Archie McDonald, formerly of Bowmanville, who as a youth joined the McLaughlin Co. 44 years ago and who still retains his youthful outlook and loyal attachment to the company. On the walls were copies of original photographs of the En- niskillen Shop of pioneer Robert McLaughlin, flanked with photo- static reproductions of his first advertisements which appeared in the columns of The Canadian Statesman. Of interest is the wording of the first advertise- ment which appeared April 6, 1870. It read: "Having from the commencement of our business in Enniskillen, determined to turn out the very best work in our line, and feeling the encourage- ment of the publie, we shall con- tinue manufacture of carriages, covered and open, using the best timber and materials to be pur- chased anywhere. Repairing, painting, and general black- smithing, fair dealing and the best of workmanship." On Sept. 29, 1870, appeared a news report in Tuée Statesman giving the results of the prize winners at the Durham County Exhibition, and heading the list was First Prize for a single car- riage manufactured by Robert McLaughlin, Enniskillen. Those were the days when the motor car transportation of today was undreamed of and before Mr. Mc- Laughlin's sons, George and R. S. (Sam) were taken into the busi- ness and prior to removal to Osh- awa where the great modern ex- pansion 'has taken place. Pictures around the walls showed the original Oshawa plant, and the fire which destroy- ed it, together with the present massive f a c t o r y structures. Shown was the office staff of 1915, with the venerable Robert McLaughlin flanked by his sons, George and Sam, together with G. W. Hezzlewood, W. A. Coad and W. H. Moyse, all well known in the district. Further along was a picture of the open limou- sine built specially for the King and Queen on the occasion of their visit in 1938. When war came the production lines were changed over to manufacture war's machines. Shown were G.M. gun car- riages, mosquito bombers, 6 lb. anti tank guns, gun carriage mountings, 20 MM Oerlikon anti- aircraft guns, a medley of special trucks and finally the Sexton self-propelled caterpillar gun tractor that played so prominent a part in breaking the Hun lines in Normandy. Not forgotten, too, was the GMC Blood Bank Clinic, which rounded out a complete picture of what General Motors has contributed to victory in this war. Centred on a platform were well preserved, time-tried ve- hicles, today, veritable museum pieces, which offered striking contrast to the swift, comfortable cars of today. First was a turtle-back c u t t e r, elegantly turned no doubt at the hands of Robert McLaughlin himself at Enniskillen. Next came a two- seater democrat of somewhat later vintage but equally well turned, the counterpart of which may be found in the driving sheds of old-time farmers even to this,day. Next came the cars, a two-seater driven by a two- cylinder engine and a four seater open phaeton, both of which are familiar today only by viewing long ago photos of them. These were the pictures and vehicles that brought forcefully to the vision of spectators the im- mense strides of industry in so short a space of time. Here was portrayed the genius of individual initiative and the fruits of private enterprise. As Emerson said: "Every great institution is the lengthened shadow of a single man." Here truly was an ex- pression of the vision of venerable Robert McLaughlin, so ably car- ried forward by his sons of whom Col. R. S. McLaughlin remains to carry on the tradition as Presi- dent of General Motors Corpora- tiorl of Canada. This inspiring and historical exhibit is being transported to Orono Fair which falls on Tues- day and Wednesday, Sept. 19-20.

Flaxman Another Bowmanville boy, Lieut. Ed.bFlaxman has met his death in battle in France. Late iast week his parents, Mr. and Mrs. T. E. Flaxman, Lover's Lane, Bowmanville, received an officia] teegram reporting his death but no further particulars have been received. Ed. Flaxman, formerly of the Midland Regiment Reserve, was imbued with the Flaxman tradi- tion that the war could not be won save by fighting. He volun- teered for the Engineers at Kings- ton and was recommended for a commission. He graduatedtat Brockville as a Lieut. and then transferred to the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders of Winni- peg to get overseas. This unit was incorporated in- to the 2nd Division which was in the forefront of the invasion in Normandy. Since "D" Day, Lieut. Flaxman pushed forward in the concerted attack that liberated France, and finally he met death in battle. The Flaxman family are fully represented in this war. Of the three children, besides Ed., his twin brother, Sapper G. C. (Gor- don) has been for more than four years and a half with the En- gineers and has been in France since the invasion.

Excellent half-tone pictures present exterior and in- terior views of the local Hydro offices, a group photo of Commis- sioner Ross Strike and Manager George Chase with the girls of the office staff and an inset of Mr. Chase in his office. The second page shows views of the Mc- Laughlin Carriage Co. at Ennis- killen with an inset of Col. R. S. McLaughlin, now President of General Motors of Canada. Favored too are a vièw of the Statesman offices with an inset a! the editor. Industry is alsa !eatured with interir shots ofathe Goodyear plant showing well known local workers at their var- ious tasks. On the last page is a front view of Bowmanville Foundry together with interior views with men at work. All these views give a pictorial side- light on local industries which use Hydro power and the Com- mission which so ably serves them. The text accompanying the il- lustrations is a composite picture of the growth of Bowmanville since its incorporation in 1857, together with the surrounding district responsible for its growth. Included are the names of many of the prominent men who were educated here and have made names for themselves in various lines of activity. The article concludes with a summary of the growth of the local Hydro. Electricity was first supplied by the Bowmanville Electric Light Company. Their plant was acquired around 1907 by the municipality and operated as a public utility. In 1911 the Sey- mour Power and Electric Light Co. took over but their interests in Central Ontario were taken over in 1916 by the Ontario Gov- ernment. In 1928 these assets, properties and rights were vested in the H.E.P.C. The Commission operated the municipal system until 1931 when the town took over the system and set up a local Commission. Further particulars as to the growth of Hydro ser- vices will appear in a future edi- tion. Meantime, congratulations to the editors of Hydro News of whom Ross Strike is on the Ad- visory Editorial Bóard, for this boost for Bowmanville. ,e d n e s e t e e s r e e ;e kt it 1. -e ýe n d y Council Takes Steps In Honor Roll & Rehabilitation Owing to Labor Day falling on of the community.
