ON A RTO - -- - PRE CHRISTMAS Clearan Ce A Prlinminary Survey j THE NEED FOR e£COng - Jerm m aster [Plan * for the ÔeveIopment 0 /owmanvdIe By Kenneth Morris, Sec'y-Mgr. Chamber of Commerce In reading over' the minutes of former meetings, and in dis- cussions with Chamber mem-. bers, Town Councillors, mer- chants and private citizens, it is evident that much time, thought and energy bas been devated, and a great deal ac- complished, on such subjects as zoning, lanes, parking, sani- tation, industrial development, and beautification. Each plan or project bas much ta rom- xnend it but, in a few instances, there is a confliet of interests, and there are other instances of duplication of effort. Co-ordin- ated action cen resolve the dif- ferences and eliminate the dup- lication of effort. Now Is The Time! NOW is the time to ask the question-"How important or necessery is it ta push aheaà with aur verious plans for the town's betterment?". It is up ta the citizens ta supply the answer, and ta help arrive at the right answer, here are some opinions end facts that have been gatheïed. Constructive Crlticisrn Several weeks ega we were1 fortunate in havirig a number o! industrial experts examine our town in some detail. They found much ta praise. but they alsa voiced a few constructive criticisms. They pointed out. for example, that many of our roads are ini poor shape, parti- cularly those in the outlying areas where new industries are most iikely to locate. Judge By Town's Face They also observed thet outsiders interested in aur town are bound ta judge the town by the face it presents ta the world, and not by the wermth and friendliness that only those who live here can truly know or appreciate. It is not enough for us ta know that a warm, friendly and- vigorous heart beats inside! The face we pre- sent to the world must indice te Our inner health and content- ment. And if we improve th'i appearance o! aur town, we- too wilI gain an increased en- jayment front it. Dormlitory For Oshawa It is said that the industriel development o! Our town bas been apposed by some citizens Custom Cut Meats for Your Freezer SWe are now able to offer you special quantfiy prices on meats, cut up and wrapped, ready for your freezer with your needs.

Bowmanville Phone MA 3-3367 on the grounds that new indus- tries will inevitabiy result in mare sewers, more roads, more schools - ail ta be paid for through increased taxes. Weil, what bas happened? Our town bas increasingly become a dor- mitory for Oshawa, Ajax, Whitby and even Toronto, and aur population bas grown by 50.8 % since 1946. Sa, like it ar flot, we have already built the required roads, sewers, schools and so forth for a great- ly increased population and- there bas been no new industry ta help pav for it. Industry in Bowmanville pays only 14% of the total tax bill, and yet a healthy economy demands that it pay for 40 ta 50%. In other words, we should have three times the industry we now have ta help us pay for oper-. ating and maintaining aur town. Attracting Sufficient Industries In advocating industrial de- velopment, please do not form the mistaken idea that your Chamber of Commerce advo- cates the changing of aur town into a smoky, noisýy and rush- ing industrial city. What it is advocating and striving for isi ta atIract sufficient industry of the right sort ta provide local employment for the people ai- ready living here. If it can do this, and it's a big "if", aur town will remain the pleasant place it is, more money will be earned and spent right in the town, and we will have help in meeting aur taxes. Provlding Opportunities Parents in particular should be strong advocates of this plan for, with more and better local opportunities for employ- ment, fewer of Bowmanville's sons and daughters will leave home in search af business ca- Twice As Much How healthy is aur retafi life? Only our merchants can supply the answer. We do know, however, that aur town bas shown a population growth since 1946 of 50.8 %, and that the Consumers' Price Index has gone up from 77.5 ta 116.2 for a percentage increase of 66.7 for the same period.

Problems Group Discussions Teachers from Pickering, Pe- terbdrough, Bowmanvilie, Co- bourg, Oshawa, Lindsay, Or- ana, Millbrook, Norwood ànd Port Hope, took part in group discussions on common prob- lems. The conference was spon- sored by O.S.S.T.F. Education Committee of which Fraser Hogle, Port Hope High School staff, is chairman. Under discussion in the day- iong program were the general tapics of "Discipline", "Home- work and Study Habits", "Counselling Students," and "Bridging the Gap from grade 8 ta grade 9."l Each group was directed by a "leader" and had the services of a "resaurce persan " for' needed information. These men and wamen met on Friday night in order ta discuss the proper handling o! the groups. M. E. Sissons of Oshawa led the group on "Counselling Stu- dents" with Elmer Huff of the guidance branch of the. De- Partment of Educatian as re- source persan. "Homework, and Study Habits" was led by Gor- growth and the climb in the Price Index means that for every one dollar of grass sales rung up in local cash registers in 1946, at least $2.50 should be rung up taday. The actual figure should be even higher, for what the economjsts cal "disposable incame"-the mon- ey that is left ta spend after taxes-is greater than it was in 1946. These figures are the average for retail trade, with grocers and haberdashers get- ting a littie less and ther mer- chants a little mare. The nurn- ber of stores in Bowmanville is about the same as in 1946, sa if any merchant is not taking in about twa-and-ane-haif times as much maney as he dil in' 1946, he is not holding even, ]et alone pragressing as he should, and it is time for him ta take stock of the town in which he lives and daes busi- r.e Aoussciites How aout Fixitoresk HodwrretoWe hved o a Rks arcreationisWen hae a Re- cllretioComissi ontbatform lareprtsnida alf or mny aer , O an eathpots t envy, SO ai apers tatsortsn aed. reretioae wel og ani- AiesDouthaweenogh fasie- itiesDiaowendmore tbans coalls damfonosbamoreiennfais cis ourta footallfield, faoiti- tigslforsekn iedsprs avol coreeo wig n Havde fe ounyoghsngsand Da we need more or better parks? "The Canadian States- man" reminds us that 25 years ago the town purchased 23 acres in the valley below Van- stone's Mill with a view ta creating a beauty spot for al ta enjoy. Was this a foolish scbemne, or should we stiil try ta bring it ta reality? How about Bowmanviile Beach? Is it perfect the way it is, or can it be improved? Haw about lanes and Park~- ing? If tbey are a problem. (and E believe they are), then they are preventing us from enjoy- ing our town as we should, and ;hey are burting reteil trade. Centennial In 1957 Bowmanville will celebrate its Centenniai in 1957. Shall we extempotize when the time, cornes, or shall we plan now, in conjunction with the Towni Couneil and other organiza- ions, ta make it a year o! cele- bration and reunion with aid Long-Term plan Most, if net aIl, o! these questions have been asked for years, and much bas been ar- complished. We would lîke ta suggest, bowever, that instead o! attacking each problem sco- arately and hoping that their solutions will ail fit together when completed, that we et- tempt ta visualize aur tawn as we would like At ta be ten, twenty, or even fifty years years fromrn ow, and that we then clearly set down on paper a "Long-Terrm Master Plan". It is seldom given ta any o! us ta attain aur ideal future, but we know the more clearly we see aur goal and the more rare- fully we plan aur actions, the ricaner we will corne ta attain- ment. If we cen make a mod- est start in 1956 and add a littie each year thereefter, perhaps attainment o! aur goal is not isa distant as it may seein. Backing of Council Today we !ind ourselves in a most fortunate Position. The town is prosperous, aur Cham- ber bas a large and enthusias- tic membership representative o! ail phases of the tawn's life, "The Canadien Statesmen" bas amply demonstrated its wiliing- ness ta endorse and support every worthwhiie scheme for the town's weifare and, above ail, we have the solid backing of the Mayor and Council. Decorative Fixtures Your Chember already bas plans for Permanent fixtures along King Street sa that the town may be properly decor- ated for seasonal events, hall- days and other public occa- sions, and still other plans de- signed ta provide lenes and improved parking in the busi- ness district. Many other o! the questions we have asked are in the discussion. stage. If yau. think the time is propitiaus,' that we of the Bowmanvilie rChamber o! Commerce should halp ta plan aur town's future and help bring it ta reality, then we invite your earnest consideration o! the proposai that we set up a Committee charged with the responsibility o! drawing up a "Long-Tarin Master Plan for the Deveiop- ment af Bowmanville".

Arthur Key of the Port Hope staff led the group dlacussing "Discipline" and Ernest Totton Of Forest Hil was resource man. "Bridglng the Gap be- tween grade 8 and the grade 9" was led by Hilda Rice o! Osh- awa, with George Pearce, also of Oshawa, and Alec Carru- thers o! Port Hope as resources. The groups met morning and afternoon with a break for luncheon in the school cafeter- ia at 12 a.m. Reports were de- livered by each graup in the general session. cScreec/i (9WI The operetta is now over and things have returned ta normal. On Friday night, after the aper- etta, a dance was beld for the cast by the Students' Council. Donuts and POP were also serv- ed. The highlight o! the evening, however, was an impromptu sho\v Put on by the cast with M.Witherspoan acting as M.C. It consisted o! a mark per- formance Of some o! the high- lights o! the aperetta. The H.M.S. Pinafore was reduced ta a table with a chair on it. The performance began with the Captain (Bob Dow) and bis crew singing "My Gallant Crew". After this the Admirai (James Ferguson) ascended the ship and be and the crew sang "When I Was a Lad". Then Ralph (Tom Parks) and Josephine (Bey. Cowling) mounted the table and sang "Refrain, Audaciaus Tar"~ This was foilowed by a slightly loud chorus o! girls, the Captain and Dead-eye (Bruce Colwell) singing "The Merry Maiden and the Tar:," and the famous Bell Tria who Were called back many tîmes for encores. After seeing this version o! the aperetta and the version that was presented at the town hall, I can cansider that I have seen them ail.
