Crawford opened the scoring, for Lindsay before the fans, some 600 of them, had be.m able to get comfortably into their seats.

This company is.Canada's first and largest manufacturer of surgical dressings, sutures, first-aid kits, surgical and industrial adhesive tapes and related products. This announcement brings ta a climax over a year of intense work carried on by the Chamber of Commerce, supported by the Town Council and with the active promotional work of the C. of'C. Secretary - Manager, Ken Morris. In securing this i" -a1 industry for Bowmanville, Mr. Morris was f aced w ' ,jiust about every pitfall there is, but in each case .-e came up with a satisfactory answer or solution. The property purchased is located immed- iately' south of Highway 401 and north of the C.N.R. tracks. It is immediately east of the Wharf Road. Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Saper sold approximately 40 acres ta the company while Mr. and Mrs. Blake Short have transferred -around 34 acres. Mrs. M. E. Leask, Bowmanville Real Estate Broker, handled the trans- actions. At present the company bas made no specific annauncement as ta what or when they will build but Vice-President Barr's statement appearing elsewhere in this issue ahl points ta a long term and highly satisfactory development of the prope'rty. Residents of the tawn should be pleased at the decision af Johnson & Johnson ta lacate here. They are a clean indÙstry and their plant will be an asset ta the town. The company has enjayed excellent labour relations during its history in Canada.

But more than that - we wanted a good place in which ta live - a friendly, healthy, graw- ing cammunity administered under efficient and progressive leadership. Our search ended in Bowmanville.
