This is prob- ably one of the best proofs that a high standard of living and civilization are far from synonymous. In Bowmanville, flic Women's Institute who built a ladies' rest room at the Town Hall in 1938 and have paid for its maintenance ever since for the benefit of Bowmanville and surrounding community, recent- ly paid a redecorating bill of $40. This was to cover Up writing scrawled on the walls. This bill was hardly paid be- fore the W. I. mernbers found that the rubber paint used was being peeled in strips from tfli walls. The ladies of the Insti- tute do flot think that this is either smart or funny. They pay out about $200 an- nually for the upkeep of thje rest room, ineluding the ser-i vices of Mr. Percy Porter who does a fine job of keeping the room dlean. Writing which ap- pears on the walls cannot, bowever, be washed off, and the kind of wanton destruction evidenced by peeling the new- ]y applied paint off is just about the last straw. The rest room cost arounzi $500 to build and equip in 1938, with clubs, lodges, near-by W. I's, and individuals donating about $200 toward the cost. Surely, the least citizens can do is to takce the best possible care of the room and to see that youngstcrs and teen-agers are taughit proper respect for pub. lie property. This is a form of good manners which seems to bc neglected these days. Maybe everyone reading th*s has a clear conscience for ber- self and ber children. The fac.. remains that someone, probably a number, were responsible. Don't let's have it happen again.

Charles Cattran, Plant Manager of the Bowmanville Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. plant, announced yesterday a $1,200,000 addition in building and equipment would be made to the local plant immediately. The expansion was approved by the Board of Directors off the Company at its fannual meeting on Monday. * The addition will be 160 feet long by 120 feet wideé and will consist of a main floor and basement. It will be located on the south side of the present plant and will be added to the present Beit and Lead Press Departments. Construction wîll be of brick and steel. with large areas off glass. * One major change required to locate this addition will be the removing of 150 feet of C.N.R. track at the >south of the-present building. Another change will be the moving off a large building used for storage. Part off the addition will be used to house a huge double deck belt press. This 84 inch wide belt press wilI be constructed to Goodyear specifications and is expected to. be delivered within a year. Its double deck will make possible cures of 60 feet at one time. In this same part a 25-ton crane will be added to service the Belt Department. Tenders will be called immediately for construction off the addition and it is expected that the building will be completed and in use late next year. Local contractors will be usçd wherever possible. In announcing this expansion to Goodyear employees Mr. Cattran said "this building reflects the confidence of the Board off Directors in the progress off Bowmanville andi the BTowmanville factory as well as sound optimism in the expanding industrial products field in Canada". It is expected that more men will be required te operate these new machines which will also result ini increased employment throughout the other departmcints in the plant. The addition to the plant will provide additional floor space off 38,400 square feet, an increase off 15 per cett over present floor space. When Goodyear originally purchased the plant in 1910 from the Durham Rubber Co. the plant had only a total off 52,000 square fecet off space. By 1917 an additional 66,000 square feet had been added. In the next 20 years the size off the plant increased 41 per cent and then early in 1938 another 54,000 square feet were added. This announcement is the culmination off plans and studies made over a considerable period off time with all divisions of the local plant and head office participating. Miss M. Couch.
