Surely more people shauld know o! these things. It wouldn't hurt to have a well painted sigon near- ~Zyta remind this hurrying m.)- .11tar age a! another slower ara when aur forebears travelledi by stage coach and steamboat. r-- For years we have noted 31 r beautiful, well proportionùd; Georgian brick house on tneJ north side o! Highway No.* 2,' about three miles xvest af Wel- *came. Obviously, by the stylc 'o! its architecture and its smalJ- -paned windows, it xvas built in the 1820's or 30's. Aftcr 1840, -Georgian and such pure ai 1 Selegantly simple styles o! ar- e citecture, gave way ta non- Sdescript experiments, many et which had bulk but no be-auty. In fact, some were quite h;d- .~eaus. This is not t0 say th,ýt -~thene were no beautiful hous built, but they xere more apt ta be the exception. Well, aften aIl this time of * admiring that house, and of reading in various historical .works o! Marsh's Tavern at - Welcome, we inally saw a pic- ture o! the bouse in E. C. Guil- Iet's book on Cobourg-and our :Georgian brick bouse wvas tS'. 1 famous Marsh's Tavern. \V' think the reason we ne V -r thought of identifying ift, u before is because any referene- ta Marsh's was always of it be- in g "at Welcome", whereas it is actually, as Mr. Guillet tells, three miles west. e We understand that Mr. Gufl- cilet writes of Marsh's Tavern in fhis forthcoming book on inns 2and taverns of the Kingstoni eRoad, and we remember that when we were scouting for pic- tures of Hindes' Tavern in Bowmanville for use in Mr. Guillet's book, he said he had i one of Marsh's at Welcome. * This bouse was the first stop :11for WeIler's stage coaches coi- 1ing west fromn Cobourg and -J travelling to Toronto. Here the four horses were changed and travellers could get a bite and sup. The sup was taken in the one storey part of the house on the xvest end. It was the bar- room. We %vould like to know 1more about this farnous in, and we are hoping it may be pos- sible to arrange with the pries. ent owners to sec some of the interior. In the Cobourg book, written by Mr. Guillet in 1940-, he speaks of Marsh's having a century and a quarter of mem- ories. This would date it around 1823. Next stop on the road was Hindes' in Boivmanville, a ho- tel which stood for many years where the Registry Office now is. It xvas finally destroyed byi fire. Though we asked through this column la:t year that any- one with a pictUre of IHîndes' botel communicate with us, wvce received no response. Are there1 really no pictures of this fair-1 ous hostelry in any attic or old album? We do xiot know if it is Robson 166 King St. E.

The books available ta themn are ahI jain- med inta a space sa small that it is a wonder they can chtaase books at ahl without getting trampled on. There is a large juvenile membership at the li- brary, 348 at Dec. 31, 1955, in spite a! these drawbacks, in spite o! television and camnic books. Isn't it important that we should encourage these childnen, and add more ta their number by providing the ac- commodation and facilities they sbould have? It is important. And the only way adequate accommodation can be pravided is by Town Council voting that the library become a free public library, as almost every othen town is size in Ontario, and many smaller, is. This means that j money for the library wouldî came fromn a small per capita taxation, but the result would i be sufficient ta provide ada-- cuate quarters and facilities for bath children and adults. t We hear a lot o! shouting about progress these days. The town bas provided sports fa- cilities, a recreation prognam and director, and a grant ta the Chamber o! Commerce-but the library is housed in exactly the same one room space it wast given in 1905. Pragress! Isn't it important ta encour- t age children in a love o! read- a ng, in pursuing knowledge? a Uhere are sa many extra ser-V vices now too which modern 'V libraries provide for youngsters. A library should be as much enjoyed and as well patronized 0 by childnen as a tawn arena.F And if you don't thînk it is 5ja owns where the library pro- vides these modern, up-to-date ci facilities and services, go and ri visit one.

New Dump Several weeks of protest meet- ings and unfavorable publicity for Eldorado Mining and Refin- ing o! Port Hope culminated last weekend in a detailed reply frmo the Crown company. Every question asked at a Wesleyville- Port Granby meeting over the dumping of Eldorado residue in the area was answered corpi- pletely. From the detailed reply it would appear that the apprehen- sion over rumors of radioactiv- ity, arsenic poisoning and sludge cluttered beach properties was groundless. According ta Man- ager J. C. Burger o! Eldorado, this residue, dumped in a wide guIch, bas been confused with radioactive wastes originating prom reactor operations - a pro- cess flot carried out in the Part Hlope plant. Uranium Not Radiumi It can be said o! this residue bhat any radioactivity results only from. the original radioac- tivity in the ore. And reioresents a similar activity associated with alarge number o! uranium pro- Perties throughout Ontario and Western Canada. In addition, no artificial radioactivity is induced in any materials during refining operations at the Port Hope Dfferent Proçess Again, there is an element of confusion over the nature of the residue now being dumped in the Port Granby area with the residue previously dumped at the Welcome storage area. No comparison can be drawn be- tween these twa materials since ther are the product o! two en- tirely different processes. Less Arsenic At the Welcome residue area, iwas alleged that arsenic in the run-off water had contaminated acreek runing between the area nd Lake Ontario, At the Port Uranby area, the arsenic con- tnt is considerably less and, due ta new process, is in a highly isoluble !orm and, therefore, flot .achable by water. Prepare Questions A protest meeting held on [arch 10, 1956, at the Wesley- [îlle School, organized by farm- rs and property owners sur- ounding the residue area, was ttended by Mr. John M. James, r.P., who, following that meet- ng, forwarded minutes covering he questions of property own- rs on the Port Granby area, ta t. J. Henry, Vice-President o! Udorado Mining and Re!ining.

The answer ta this was quite definite. "There cauld be absolutely no effect on the water ini Bawmanville or Port Hope ...as a matter o! fact, the re- sidue couhd be dumped directlý' inta the lake withaut af!ecting the water." It placed little cred- ence an the report that so-calhed sludge was appearing an the beach since' it is a sandy type o! material. In relation, the rivers in bath Port Hope and Bowmanville c a r r y sewage wbich wouhd have a much mare adverse effect on the lake water than any materials cantained in the "residue".
