c0hrý i Durhiam County's Gjreat Family Journal" VOLUME 94 BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 23rd, 1948 6c PER COPY NUMBER 52 Dinrham County Ti Prtiduce Nearly 1M States P. G. Newell âPenetrating an aromatic cloud - ftobcc smoke at the Rotary Club meeting Friday, guest speak- er, P. G.. (Pete) Newell, manager Canadian Tobacco Plantations, spoke with greât fluency and com- petent knowledge 'on tobacco cul- ture in general and introduction to Durham County just over a decade ago. He aroused much in- terest when he told that the 4.5 farms producing tobacco in this district had a total yield this year Of 1,750,000 lbs. with a market value of more than $700,000. His careful prediction was that in a very few years the acreage would more than double and it was quite probable that Bowmanville or Newcastle would become a central market serving the tobacco area of central Ontario, inc-luding the new plantations around Barrie. The Speaker Mr. Newell, who resides in Bow- manville and commutes daily to his Newcastle office, was intro- duced by Dave Higgon, who with other Bowmanville 'businessmen, toured the plantations a year ago and were banqueted on Mr. New- ell's personal farm. Born in Ox- ford, England, Pete Newell came to Canada.20 years ago, graduated from the O.A.C., Guelph, then studied for his Doctorate at Tor- onto University until war inter- rupted his studies. He served in the artillery throughout, rose to the rank of Major, won the Miii- tary Cross and Bar, then came home to join the Adams Corpora- tion of Simcoe, heavily interested in tobacco growing and the lum- ber, business. *Appointed manager of Canadian Tobacco Plantations in 1945, Mr. Newell continues in that position1 and is also manager of the New- castle branch of the Adams Lum- ber Co. which was opened a year ago. In January, 1948, Mr. Neweil was married to Miss Beatrice Win- sby, R.N., daughter of a promin- ent Victoria B.C. family. They met overseas when both served un the late war. Mr. Newell has been a pioneer in growing hybrid corn in this district and is a practical scientist in the f ield of agricul- turc. obacco Farms illion Dollars Il at Rotary Club 1For instance the federal govere- ment gathers a tobacco tax cf $24, 000. every bouc cf every day throughout the year. Estimahing 2 ,i lbs. cf flue cured tobacco per 1,000 cigarettes, the farmer gels about 2c per package and the goverement gets $17.50 in taxes on every thousand manu- factured andi soid. The Canadian production is 80 per cent flue curcd for making cigarettes and it is considercd just about the world's bcst. Bunley tobacco, useci for pipe and cigar purposes and pipe perique grown in Quebec, P. G. NeweII make up the balance of 20 per cent. Burley is also mixed with flue cured for stronger cigarettes. Tho main producing centre is the Simcoe-Delbi district, but there is small annual production in British Columbia. Durham County has become a recognized tobacco area and an acreage is being deve- loped around Barrie. Reclaimed Farms Mr. Nexvell described the type of soul best suited for tobacco grow- ing. Abandoned farms in Durham County to the south of the pine ridge had been found ideal and Christmnas Party For New Canadians Greatly Enjoyed A pleasant and appropriate gathering in the form of a Christ- mas Party for new citizens of Darlington Township took place in Central Public School, Wèdnes- day evening. Guest of the local committee conducting classes in English and Citizenship under the auspices of the Ontario Department of Educa- tion, were the 38 aduit students taking instruction each Wednes- day evening in the "New Canadian Class" at the Bowmanville High School. Chairman at the party, M. A. Slute, local Public School teacher. was accorded great tribute for his pains-taking efforts as Princ- ipal of the class to make it a real success. His assistant, Miss Mari- orie Couch. Central Public Sohool, aiso shared in the felicitations. The evening was devoted to free conversation in English to mark the vrogress made. An education- al film, "Peopies of Canada". a release from the Ontario Dcpart- ment of Education, was also shown. Miss Couch was hostess to the ladies of the New Canadian group. The pleasant evening con- cluded with deliclous lunch. It is hoped that this first gathering will become an annual affair. Sundav School Xmas Program A visit from the most pornular man in the world "Santa Claus" climaxed a baopyý Sunday School Christmas party in Trinity seaool room Tuesday ex'ening. Tiny tots and older pupils, their teachers and parents were present to enjoy an interesting programn which re- vealed the clex'er talent of the pupils and competent training on the part of the teachers. Dr. J. C. Devitt, Superintendent of the Sunday Sohool was chairman for the following pro- gram: carols sung by Miss Frayn Johns' class: recitation-Patsy Ann Smith; chorus by pupils of Miss Doreen Hardy and Anna Johns' classes; chorus by the pri- mary class; resitation-Janice Beech.
