?WU! U"AdAnLYAW M'IAE'IMNt EOWMANVILIZ. ONTARM PAGE FOUR I THE WAVERLEY AND OTHERS In response to our request for information regarding Bow- manville's old hotels, inns and taverns, Mr. R. G. Hamlyn has loaned us somne clippings früm The Canadian Statesman of years ago which throw a littie ]ight on the subject. We believe there are a number o! people who can remember some of the old hotels of the tawn. If S, again we say, we would ap- preciate hearing these reminis- cences. Any tales o! the oic! days wili help fa bring those days f0 life and that is a pro- ject well worth while. As we mentioned before, Mr. Edwin C. Guillet of Toronto is gatbering maferial for a book on the pioneer mans and taverns of the old Danforth or Kiagston Road. We dont waat Bowman- ville f0 be leff ouf o! that vol- umne, for if had a number of bot els aad taverns, includinor the Waverley Hotel owned and operated by Alphonse Hindes. If was at this hotel or inn tixat one o! the Weller line o! sta-,e coaches used f0 draw up wih a flourish in the very car!-, days o! Bowmanville. Accordiag, f0 an article by the late John Lyle, for many years Town Clerk, which appeared in thc Statesman about 1928, The Wa- verley was a three storey brick building standing where the Rt.- gistry Office is now. Still ac- cording f0 this source, if hurn- cd down in 1862. Prior f0 the Waverley, Mr. Hiades had a frame building, J. B. Fairbairn records. Mr. Hindes seems fo have been a weli ikcd and highiy respected citizen judging froni references made f0 hlm hby John Squair in bis book, "The Town- ships o! Darliagton and Clarke", and by J. B. Fairbairn in !iis "'Hisfory and Reminiscences o! Bowmanville". He did not drink himself and maintained law and order in his hotel wit h a firm hand. He was a "Yankee" from Vermont, and a cbiidhood friend o! Mr. Weller who ran the stage coaches. They came from the same place. Also ment îoned in Mr. John Lyle's article was Bailey's Ta- vern, a large hotel on the biHl, hie says. where Mr. F. C. Van- stone's residence now is. These are no doubt beyond the mem- ory of people now living but in some affic there may yef be pictures of these establishments, or of the Bates house (now the Beilman house on King 9treet West just before you get ta the bridge) when if was used as a tavera in stage coach days. Then fhere was the Maynard] Hotel where t he Prower Block is now, known sa well for a great many years as the location of Couch, Johnston & Cryder- man's dry goods store. And the Eastern House on the corner o! Liberty and King Streets. This was a busy place in the oid days, especially when Port Bowmanville was humminlg with acfivîty, for if was in a strategic spot for lake fraffic. ln the days whcn farmers were drawing barley to the port, the Brodie family ran if. According to David Morrison, Sr., in an issue of The States- man, Feb. 1l, 1937, the Eastern House was the scene of many a festive occasion, "and many so- cial assemblies were held in ils spaclous hall room." This is now a store and dweiiing, but was shorn many years ago of its top storey. Are thiere an), pictures in old albums o! the Eastern House? We are sure thaf any pictures loaned ta Mr. Guillet would receive the ut- most care.

The Aima Hotel was axiother, standing where the Bell Tele- phone building now is. There should be some pictures and stories about this establish- ment. We understand the towin band used ta give a concert once a week from its baicony, and people used ta gather in the market square opposite (where the Town Hall is now) ta listen. Sounds like a nice idea. If you can add to our information on any o! the oid h6tels, do drop us a line or give us a 'phone cail, won't you? TASTE 0F SU;SHINL Some friends who were re- cently in Fiorida kindiy gave us a bag of oranges they had brought back. We found the Temple variety especially deli- cious, and there is ail the dif- ference in the world between this tree ripened fruit and what we receive here in the stores. The latter, we believe, has to be picked on the green side, like peaches, for shipping. But in the fruit that ripened ta ma- turity on the tree, one couldi fairly taste the sunshine. It was so much sweeter and reaily f ull of flavor. This xvas a treat which we really enjoyed. SURINKAGE 0F THE BRAIN We thing it largeiy true that whaf we do not exercise wc lose the use of. Heaven help us if this should ever reach iL.; fullest possibilifies, and we should not be able to waik at ail. But af the moment we were thinking more of our memories. We cultivafe them so littie to- day that we have ail but lost the ability f0 remember. And certainly the large frown against memorizing anything, which is present in our schools today is not going to heip mat- ters. We believe this f0 be a very sorry situation. A good memory is flot only a great asset in any business or profession, it can give great pleasure. If one can quote certain lines which are apt, it is a satisfaction to hlm and a pleasure to those aroundý him. Whaf a world of pleasure there is in poetry remembered! We only wish we had hai! as good a memory as the genera- tion which preceded us who( can quote poetry sfudied in pub- lic and high scbool grades. This generation runs around with pencil and paper in hand and a worried frown on ifs brow. and the next will probab- ly have everyfhing on a tape re- corder. The brain wili then shrink like a stomach on a dief. and prefty soon no one vwill be able f0 remember anything no matter how bard he tries. Thbs is a subject which could be pur- sued, and probably wili be some other time. Some 38 persôns, represenfing about 85 per cent of Clarke Township property owners a!- fected by the extension of High- way 401 from Newcastle ta Port Hope, formed the Clarke Township Higbway Association at a meeting sponsored by th Durham Federation of Agricul- ture at the Orange Hall, New- tonville, Saturday night. Purpose o! the Association is to represent the township property owners in negotia- tions with the Ont aria Depart- ment o! Higbways for land needed by the Dcpartment to extend the four-lane highway through the township. Presîdent Edgar Nichols o! the Durham Federation was ap- pointed chairman o! the meet- ing, which discussed and adopt- ed by-laws drawn in advance by Mel Jones, Newfonville. The five-man executive committee chosen f0 bead up the Clarke Township Highway Association consists of Chairman Farn- combe LeGresley, Secretary- Treasurer Gordon Martin, R. R. 3, Newcastle; George Stephen- son, R. R. 2, Newcastle; Wellin- ton Farrow, R. R. 2, Newcastle andi Tupper Johnson, R. R. 3, Newcastle. Formed For One Year The by-laws provide that the. Association shall function for one year and that meetings may he called by the chairman or by three member-landowners with seven days notice. The As- sociation was given aufhorify ta obfain legal advice if necessary, and a provisiona fee of $2.00 per member was Set up f0 paY for this and other expenses. Fif- teen property owners joined the Association and paid their $2.00 membership fee at the close of the meeting. The property owners agreed to inform the Association of any offers made ta them, by land buyers of the Department of Highways before settling with the Department. If they feel the offer madfe by the Depart- ment is satlsfactory, they may then make a settiement, other- wise the Association will give themn its co-operation in any ensuing negotiations. It was decided that fufther members may join the Associa- tion in the future, providing they observe the same condi- tions and pay the same fees as the original members. The Association agreed to co- operate close with a similar as- sociation formed in Hope Town- ship a week before, pursuing ne- gotiations with the Departmenf of Highways. There is a strong1- possibility that a third such or- ganizafion may be formed in Hamilton Township f0 serve property owners there who will also be affected by the exten- sion of Highway 401 eastward. Members of the Association acknowledged the assistance ol President Edgar Nichols and Past President Charlie Osborne of the Durham Federation of Agriculture in forming the body and also of Ccil Belyea, Econ- omist of the Ontario Federafion of Agriculture, who addressed the meeting at Welcome on Feb- ruary il at which the similar Hope Township organizafion was formed.
