tait "Durham County's Great Family Journal" VOLUME 92 FIRST SECTION BOWMANVILLE, ONT., TfURSDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1946 PAGESt1 ;OOOQYEAR Community Councml Assured Temporary Officers Named Teen-Town & Rink Proposed Bowmanville and district will now have a Community Council to co-ordinate and direct all ac- tivities of a recreational nature affecting the people within a ra- dius of the immediate trading area of the town. This was decided at a meeting in the Town Hall, Fri- day evening, October 18, attend- ed by a representative gathering of citizens from both town and rural districts together with rep- resentatives from some 40 exist- ing organizations. Provisional executive officers were elected with power to act for a short per- iod when a further meeting of accredited representatives will elect the first annual permanent slate of executive officials. Speaker The meeting was called by Mayor C. G. Morris under spon- sorship of the Town Council and the Bowmanville Chamber of Commerce acting together to give expression to general public sen- timent. The Community Council idea has met with enthusiasm and success at many other centres and their organization was explained at the meeting by Charles Aus- terberry, Community Welfare Council of Ontario, who assisted in the deliberations leading to the foirmation of the Bowmanville Community Council. General Outline Mayor Morris presided during the general discussion and Coun- cillor Norman Allison presided for the election of officers and adoption of formal resolutions. The general outline of the func- tions of a Community Council, as explained by Mr. Austerberry, was briefly this: "The Council, composed of one representative from each of the several existing organizations, will be the co-or- dinating body to co-relate all community activities of cultural and recreational interest within the community."

Toronto, Director of Prisoners' Rehabilitation Society, who made a strong plea for better jail con- ditions in Canada in a forceful and informative address at the Rotary Club on Friday. Major Edmison has kindly consented to be guest speaker at the Canadian Legion Remembrance Day ban- quet here on November 11 when he will give an illustrated ad- dress on the concentration camps in Europe which he visited while a representative of U.N.R.R.A. Toronto guests at the Women's Canadian Club, Mrs. Nancy Py- per, Mns. L. M. Keitb, Mrs. Kil- bourn, Miss Mary Butchart, Mrs. Kent and Mrs. -Norman Wright, were dinner guests of Mrs. Geo. W. James at the Balmoral Hotel following the meeting. B.H.S. Literary Society Starts Form Programs Second Form at B.H.S. started the ball rolling Monday afternoon whç ý they presented the first LitE try Form Program. The play rs acted before a large crowd not only of students but of town ladies as well. Arthur Buckspan acted as Master of Ceremonies. The program consisted of a duet "When Pa Was Courtin' Ma" by Russell Alldread and Ross Met- calfe, dressed in nineteenth cen- tury costumes; a sparkling com- edy based on a modern family's problems, "Be Home by Mid- night;" piano solo by Kay Lycett; comedy ballet dance by Rhona Evans and second form boys; an orchestra which played "My Dar- ling Nellie Gray" and accompan- ied the "Quintet" with "But O What I Seemed To Be" and "To Each His Own" and Ross Metcalfe with "Billy Boy." The Form song brought the program to a close. Miss Ruth Hutchinson was pre- sented with a bouquet of flowers in appreciation of her splendid help with the program. B.H.S. wishes Miss Hutchinson every success in her new course of dramatic art in New York. Bracken Candidates Win Two By-Elections Bracken cardidates won both by-elections for Federal seats, Parkdale, Toronto and Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, Monday, Oct. 21st. The Progressive-Conserva- tive majority in each was around 550 in 3-cornered contests, with the CCF trailing the losing Lib- erals. This marks the third straight defeat for Liberal candidates in recent weeks, the other being Pontiac, Que. The result reduces the over-all majority of Mackenzie King in the House to a bare two. It is likely two other by-elections will be called shortly. The win in Portage, a farm constituency, reverses a Liberal majority of 1857 in the 1945 elec- tion. The change is credited to the Bracken farm policies, as op- posed to those of Agriculture Minister Gardiner, particularly the wheat agreements. Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Courtice, Lea- mington, Rev. and Mrs. Carman Armstrong and Ronald, Smiths Falls, have returned home after a pleasant visit with relatives here. Mr. and Mrs. Courtice have purchased a home in Oshawa and hope to come there to reside in the near future. The editor acknowledges with appreciation another feast of fall berries. From Garnet McCoy, Bowmanville, a bowlful of ripe strawberries, picked October 17. From Walter Rahm, Enniskillen, a cluster of ripe Columbia rasp- berries picked October 23. Thank- fully we added cream and sugar. STRIKE Chief Venton Receives Gunman's Gun as Nice Sequel to Brave Arrest Readers will recall the capture of four bank robbers and gun- men, Sept. 29, 1945, at Curv-Inn, by Chief of Police Sidney Ven- ton and Provincial Constable Gor- don Broughton. At that timé one of the four threatened Chief Ven- ton with a Browning automatic ,machine gun and was overpow- ered before he could shoot. The case has dragged through court and appeal but has been finally disposed of. Originally sen- tenced to 10 years 'each for bank robbery and 3 and 4 years for having weapons, an appeal was taken. The result was a consoli- dation of the sentences to 13 and 14 years straight. An interesting sequel in the case was the decision of the At- torney General to present Chief Venton with the Browning auto- matic with which he was threat- ened. The gun now becomes the personal property of Mr. Venton and it will be available for use should occasion arise. SETTLED Power Off Sunday A.M. Fix Power Station During Early Morning Light and power will be off in Bowmanville and district on the following date and hodrs: SATURDAY, OCTOBER 26 From 12 midnight to 5 a.m. Sunday, October 27. Announcement of this sus- pension of service by the Public Utilities Commission is accompanied with the in- formation that it is due to present rehabilitation of equipment i the Bowman- ville transformer station in order to have same in a safe condition. Work was undertaken fol- lowing the burnout last Au- gust. New equipment is now available and in order to in- stall same it is necessary to have the power off at the above time. No further sus- pension is anticipated if all goes well in the work in hand. Jails Deplorable Condition Penal System Needs Reform States A. Edmison at Rotary Condemning Canada's national and provincial penal system as an anachronism, J. Alex Edmison, K.C., Toronto, guest speaker at Bowmanville Rotary Club, Friday, October 18, laid most emphasis on the deplorable conditions found in county jails. He suggested that we shall never have a progressive penal system until we reform the county jail system along the much superior lines found in Great Bri- tain today. Limited as to time, Mr. Edmison prefaced his remarks with personal experiences in Ger- many following the war as intro- duction to his main theme, Pen- ology. He paid a fine tribute to Rotàrian Bert Virgin, lately ap- pointed Ontario Director of Re- forra Institutions, and hailed his promotion as a trend in the de- sired direction. Personal In his introduction of the speak- er, John James brought to light two points of interest; that Mr. Edmison many years ago was a leader in. Bowmanville Boys' Work and was primarily respon- sible for location of the Boys' Training School at this point. An address he gave in Toronto in 1922, captured the interest of the late J. H. H. Jury who immed- iately donated the farm for the school. Mr. Edmison, son of Rev. J. H. Edmison, D.D., graduated in Arts at Queen's, in Law at McGill. He practised in Montreal, was an alderman on the city council, join- ed the Black Watch, 1939, served as a major overseas till Septem- ber, 1945, then was named sen- ior officer U.N.R.R.A. in Germany. He returned to lecture in 55 cities in the U.S.A. on German prison camp conditions, was cited by Ei- senhower and DeGaulle. His life- long interest in penology led to his present post, Director, Prison- ers' Rehabilitation, Toronto. German Camps Touching briefly on conditions he found in the Nazi compounds at Dachau, Buchenwald and Bel- sen, Mr. Edmison held them to be the symbols of the tyranny and torture for which the leading Na- zis have too cheaply paid by hang- ing. There were 400 such hor- ror camps in Nazi Europe. He described the gas -chambers, the mass graves, the stricken surviv- ors, punishment ordained such as the world neyer before witnessed. Observing that inherent revul- sion among free peoples at these atrocities was the order ofour thought, the speaker suggested at- tention to our thoughtlessness in the matter of prison reformi. We have permitted jail conditions that continue as festering sores inviting crime rather than pre- venting it and in almost complete dîsregard of the recommendations of no less than six Royal Commis- sions set up over the years to stu- dy the question. (Continued on Page Three) Bowmanville Rugbyists Take Cobourg 13-1 In Hard Fought Game Bowmanville High School Rug- by Tean won its fourth straight victory in the intercollegiate lea- gue, Wednesday afternoon on lo- cal grounds by beating Cobourg Collegiate 13-1 in a gruelling con- test in which several players suf- fered injuries. The local boys have yet to be defeated this sea- son. They beat Port Hope in the openen, then took Whitby twice, befone taming Cobourg. The B.H.S. squad failed to click in the first half and were down 1-0 at the whistle. Cobourg show- ed strength that brought then within inches of a touchdown on two occasions-, but B.H.S. rallied to hold then toa single kick te the deadline for their only point of the game. A pep talk at half time and the rallying cheers of schoolmates led by four pert cheer leaders, sparked them for their steam-roller offensive in the sec- ond half. The Play, Second Half DeGeer kicked off. Jackman intercepted a Cobourg pass. Co- bourg fumbled a B.H.S. kick and Rowe fell on the ball on Cobourg 4-yard line. Hooper plunged for a touch and DeGeer converted. Rough play. Cobourg penalized 10 yards. The locals held their lead at the change over. Final quarter saw B.H.S. still pressing and Cobourg back on the 3-yard line. They were held but Hooper kicked a point. Once again they plunged to Cobourg 3- yard mark. Again Hooper plung- ed for a touch. The convert fail- ed. On a final play Sturrock kicked, the ball caromed off a Cobourg player into touch for a point. The whistle ended it. Cobourg backfield was strong and tricky, the line not so good. For B.H.S., Hooper and DeGeer were strong and Tamblyn and Buckspan were in on every tackle. Cobourg: Quarter, McEMillan; halfs, J.

WORK Reach Agreement at Goodyear Charles Cattran Key figures in the settlement of the 118 day Goodyear strike which ended Monday morning are Charles Cattran, Resident Super- intendent of the local plant and Norman Allison, President of Lo- cal 189, U.R.W.A. Engineer Gives Formai Statement re Paving At Town Council Meet Following the special session of Council, Tuesday evening at which representatives of the consulting engineers were asked for a for- mal, written statement on the progress of work in repairing King St., the letter below is self-ex- planatory: Bowmanville, Ont., 23 October, 1946 Town Gouncil C. G. Morris, Esq., Mayor, Corporation of the Town of Bowmanville, Ont. Gentlemen: In response to yo.ur query, ap- parent delays in the prosecution of the work on the King Street paving project are considered to be mainly attributable to the fol- lowing causes: 1. Necessity for replacing and relocating storm-drainage systen, with attendant difficulty and de- lay in obtaining necessary tile. 2. Periods of bad weather, which, occurring at a critical stage of the work, caused total cessa- tion of operations on some days, and handicapped progress when work was nesumed. 3. Current shortage of labour due to return to normal employ- ment of a portion of the working force. As excavating operations pro- gressed on the Western Section, the 15-inch tile storm sewer pro- viding catch-basin drainage for King Street west of Temperance Street, and located in the centre of the roadway, and an auxiliary 12-inch tile drain located near the north side, were uncovered and found to be in a deteriorated and defective condition. This was a condition which could not be an- ticipated, and only became evident when the tile was uncovered. Ac- cordingly, your Engineers rec- ommended their replacement and relocation. Following inspection by Council members, this recom- mendation was approved at the regular council meeting of Octob- er 7th. Despite the present scarc- ity of this material, proper tile was obtained and delivered on October 11th, and tile laying op- erations were begun. This operation was seriously handicapped and delayed during the following week by rainy wea- ther, occurring as it did when trenches wene open. An attempt was made to offset this delay by continuing work on Saturday af- ternoon and Sunday, October 19 and 20. With the termination of the lo- cal industrial strike, a number of men, temporarily employed on this work, have returned to their normal employment. This has occurred at a stage of the work where considerable hand labor is requ' . It is believed that ef- forts àre being made by the Con- tractor to replenish and augment his working force. Respectfully submitted, Proctor, Redfern & Laughhin, Ltd. Consulting Engineers, Toronto per Wyatt, C. Irvin, P.Eng., Resident Engineer. Mrs. Alex Colville and Cather- ine entertained a coterie of friends at a party, Friday evening, in hon- or of Miss M. C. Colville, Toronto. RESUMED Nornian Allison St. John's A.Y.P.A. Sends Representatives St. John's Young People's Asso- ciation met in the Parish Hall, Monday evening with an ever in- creasing group of members pres- ent. President Gladys King con- ducted a short worship service and presided for the business per- iod. Plans were completed for the dance to be held in the Parish hall on October 30th. Several members were appointed to at- tend the A.Y.P.A. convention in St. Paul's Church, Toronto, from October 24th to 27th. Convener Betty Bettles and her group were in charge of games and a sing-song, and Rev. Wright closed with the Benediction. Nick Merza, St. Catharines, writes his appreciation on winning a radio at the Memorial Park Carnival: "It sure was a surprise to me as I never won anything in my life before; thank you very much." MON. Men Rèceive 13e Increase After Four Months of Strike Negotiations Completed Sun. The four-month strike of U.R. W.A. Local Union 189 of The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Com- pany, Bowmanville, came to an end early Monday morning, Octo- ber 21, 1946. After voting strike action early in the year, pending negotiations between union and company, employees were called out, Monday, June 24, when no settlement was effected. Save for the office and maintenance staff the plant has been idle for 118 days. Meetings Negotiations toward settlement have continued from time to time but little real progress was re- ported until late last week. Af- ter reports of settlements of strikes in other rubber plan‡s came to view, the bargaining com- mittee of Local 189 came together with the local management of the company Friday, for further ne- gotiations. The talks were resum- ed on Saturday. They continued Sunday with definite proposals for final terms. The union then called an emer- gency session in the Town Hall, Sunday evening. The bargaining committee recommended accept- ance of the terms and to end the strike. By unanimous, standing vote the agreement was ratified. Formal notice was given the com- pany management and the doors were thrown open Monday mor- ning to resume factory operations. There will be a short time lag in getting under way but it is ex- pected that all employees will be fully engaged in a matter of- days. Terms Terms of the settlement, as re- ported to the press, include a 13e an hour increase upon returning to work, with a bonus of 3c an hour for the second shift, and 5c an hour for the-third shift. The company will also make a pay- ment of $40 retroactive, to all em- ployees on the payroll as of June Town Council Hears Petition Over Delay in Street.Repairs A special meeting of the Town Council, Tuesday evening dealt with current items of business in which most interest centred about a petition of eleven west end busi- nessmen protesting delay in re- pairing the pavement on King St. The protest pointed out that much business was being lost among firms hemmed in on the west end. Present at the meeting was a representative of the engineers in charge, Proctor, Redfern and Laughlin, Toonto, together with thein resident superviser, W. C. Irvin. They pointed out two things that have delayed the work: the discovery of defective water mains requiring new matenials and the loss of workmen who had gone back to the Goodyear plant after settlement of the strike there. Assurance was given that work had progressed, in the circum- stances, with best despatch pos- sible. They agreed to present te couneil a formal, written report on progress and the time estimate to be delivered Wednesday after- noon at latest. Any further action in connection with the petition will hinge on this report. Mean- time another work gang is being sought. Other business dealt with a let- ter from an Oshawa insurance firm demanding to know on what authority the town re-routed traf- fic during street repairs. They claimed difficulty in adjusting rates due to the change. The Clerk will reply in appropriate terms. Authority was given to proceed with installation of sewer and water along Veteran's Avenue. It was learned that the major- ity of dog owners notified of dog tax had paid. Others who haven't paid by Oct. 29th will be sum- moned and must appear before à Magistrate in local court.

Since 1938 the contract between the company and the union pro- vided pay for seven legal holidays. This will be continued. Hours of work, 48 per week, will remain the same. The original demand of the union was for a 20c increase and a 40-hour week. Open Clause The new agreement, which is for one year, also provides for re- opening negotiations during that period if warranted by the gener- al economic situation in Canada. As reduction of working hours is not mentioned in the settlement terms, the wage boost represents an actual increase 'in take-home pay. The settlement which came at a critical juncture of the year, was received with acclaini by people generally and with satisfaction by both company and union. A con- tinuing loss of a heavy payroll, estimated at more-than a quarter million dollars caused much con- cern locally. It was heartening again to hear the Goodyear whistle blow and to see happy expressions on the faces of employees coming from the factory on the Tuesday shifts. Official Joint Statement The Goodyear management at Bowmanville and Local 189 ar- rived at an agreement over last weekend in settlement of the strike. The terms agreed upon includ- ed a general wage increase of 13c per hour for all male and female employees in the bargaining unit together with a shift bonus for those on rotating shifts of 3c per hour for second shift workers and 5c per hour for third shift work- ers. In addition, retroactive pay to the amount of $40.00 will be paid to each employee in fhe bar- gaining unit who was on the pay- roll on June 24th and who re- turns in accordance with the re- call provisions of the agreement. The hours of work, application of overtime payment and the payment for seven legal holidays will remain the sane as in the current agreement. The settlement is made for a period of one year but the Com- pany signifies its willingness to re-open negotiations with respect to wages at any time during that period if warranted by the gen- eral economic situation in Can- ada. Negotiations arriving at this settlement were carried on in a co-operative spirit last Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Late Sun- day evening at a special meeting of the membership of Local 189 unanimous approval was given by the membership to this, agree- ment arrived at by the Bargain- ing Committee and the Company's representatives.
