Teils Rotary Club Frà,ý adventure in the mid-twentieth century was 'Vividly dep'icted by a motion picture, "Sky Watchers on 55" shown at the Bowmanville Rotary Club luncheon meet- ing at the Balmoral Hotel on Friday. Jack L. Lowry, Manager of the Bell Telephone Company, Oshawa, pre- sented the film. Mr. Lowry, who was introduced by Tom Palmer, spoke - of the development of telephone service in Bowmanville. In 1953 there were 2,550 telephones in Bowmanville. There has been a marked increase in the number of telephones installed in the town in the five years since 1953. At that time there were 2,550 telephones here, compared to 3,581 telephones at present. The most recent local change was the installation last May of eqaipment to handie 300 more telephones in this area. The company plans ta open a Hamp- ton telephone exchange in July, 1959. When this is donc 600 telephones will lic dropped from EBowmanville and they will come under the Hampton exchange. Bowmanville exchangc at pres- cnt extends to Burkcton on the north. Possible Cut ln Tolls It was pointed out by Mr. Lowvry that present sub- scribers will flot have to pay a toli charge between Hamp- ton and Bowmanville. He also stated that there is a possibllity that toli charges b e t ween Bowmanville, Whitby, Oshawa and Hamp- ton will be abolished, but this has flot yet been def- lnltely decided. The taiks going on in Ottawa may have some bearlng on the final decision. Many people do not really realize what a vast country Canada is, Mr. Lowry said. He spoke of the great stretches of land from coast to coast and in the north. He explained that the film he was aboitt to show would depiet an outstanding C a n a d i a n achievement, the building of the Mid-Canada Early Warning Line in the Sub- Arctic across the country. The Canadian Government in- Vited the seven major telephone. J. L.

The RCAF was responsible for the choice of sites. Conferences were hcld with industrial engineers, de- fence personnel and laboratory technicians.

The Pre-Cambnian shield covers more than a million square miles of land and lakes in Northrn Canada. There were prolilems due to muskcg and other comn- plexities of the country to lie solved in selecting sites for the Mid-Canada Lîine through 8,000 square miles. A careful study of ail the ter- rain was made for the location of the towens. Two parties used RCAF helicopters at the eastern end of the planned line.

There axmen were low- ered from the aircraft liy nope tacklc to dlean landing strips in the dense sprucc and jack pine forest. Supply Problems There were tremendous sup- ply problems for the camps on the construction sites. These were satisfactorily solved by a great airlift during the winter months. Supplies were taken from the railheads to depots further out and flown in to the sites. In addition to the airlift, enormous tractors pulled out long trains of flats loaded with lumber, steel, cement blocks, diesel oul and component parts to the new settiements. .The tractor-pulled loads un- dertook trips of 600 miles out and back. The motors were neyer turned off because of the intense cold at any time during the trip. Further supplies were sent by water from the Port of Montreal as soon as it opened early in the spring before the northenn break-up.
