rnl4bi~rn "Durham County's Great Family Journal" "14UME 103 {~Jmber Favours Vote On Two Year Term for Members of Coun cil. The majonity of shoppers zeem ta be in favour of park. inig meters the directors of the Bowmanviile Chamber of Commerce reparted at their re- gular meeting last Tuesday. It was also favourably nated that several out-of-town shop- pers are coming ta Bowman- ville because of the available pakn space. Rather than lttrup the main streets the ail-day pankens are making use of the municipal parking lots. Two-Year Council Term The directors have decided ta recommend ta Town Cauncil that the question of 2-year terin for mayor and council be piac- ed before the electorate in De- cember. From a Chamber sur- 'vey in 1956 a majority were in favour of the two year term. Study Land Title Act A committee will be appoint- ed by the Chamber ta, study the feasibilîty of asking the Prov- incial government ta replace the present Registry System of land with the Land Tities Sys- tem. The chief advantage~ of the Land Title Act lies in &the fact that the title is guaranteed from the moment of registra- tion. Furthermone subsequent dealings with the land are greatly simplified for the rea- son that costly and time con- sumîng titie searches are elim- inattd. If such a system is establish- ed it would mean opening an office and hiring a clerk. The costs for this would be caver- cd by the fees for registration. The Chamber directors were unanimaus in their praise of the new lights along King Street and the secretary-mali- agen was instructed ta write a letter of appreciation ta the P.U.C. Suggest Hlgher Fee Cauncil' s decision ta license pediars and hawkers met with the approval o! the directons but it was felt that the propos- ed $25 fee was too low for out- of-tawn campanies who are tak- ing money away fnomn local merchants. The directors decîded ta sub- mit a recommendation calling for a graduated scale o! fees. A three-man cammittee chair- ed by Clarence Hackin and cansistinga! Glen Lander and Cal Breeen was appointed ta be responsible for additionai Christmas and Centennial de- corations on King Street.

The Tilleys, who are recent English irfimigrants to this country, had moved into Sol- ina only two weeks ago. Graham was playing along the creek at the fatal hour with his four-year old brother John and two younger playmates. When Graham fell into the wa- ter John raced home to tel of his brother's pennl. Working in nearby fields were Andy Krummenacher, Bob Ward and Campbell Ham- er who ail waded into the chest-deep water to locate the boy. However ten or more minutes elkpsed before the body was recovered in the wa- ter. Graham was then placed an the bank and artificial respira- tion was started. First outsiders to arrive at the scene were members of the BowmanviHl_ Fire Brigade. The firemen had brought along the resuscitator donated G. M. Takes Holidays Starting This Weekend but, ironically, no one knew how ta operate the apparatus. Medical aid was sought for the victim but no dactors were immedîately available. Artifi- cial respiratian was continued for over an hour but with no resuits and as a last desperate attempt the father tnied to bneath life into his son's limp body. Dr. Charles Austin, cor- oner, pronaunced the boy dead. It was felt that the boy had been in the water toa long and even if full use had been madle af the resuscitator it would have had rio effeet.
