In addition to the foregoing, there are several reasons why the local Plant lias been ciosed. Small and old-fashioned plants cannot be operated econ- omicaiiy, and the' trend is to a few larger units processing a wider range o! fruits and veg- etables. The location of the Bowman- ville plant lias been unfortun- ate, and its smoke and odours have led to many compiaints from homes and businesses in the ixumediate aiea. Most important o! ail bas been the inabiity to soive the problem o! waste disposai. Waste from the cannery was diseliarged into Bowmanvillie Creek and caused pollution to rsuch an extent that the On-. mission served notice that the situation would not be permit- ted to long continue. The vol-. ume o! waste was greater than the sewage disposal plant could accommodate and ne alterna- tive system o! waste disposai could be instituted at the plant site. Mr. C. A. Smith, Superviser o! Properties for Canadian Can- ners, has firmly stated that the Bowmanville district holds an important place in the cern- pany's long-term plans.. The possibiity therefore exists that Bowmanville may someday be the home o! a new and larger canning factory. Fires Firemen are hoping that this Spring won't see a re- petition of last year when they were on the run con- f inually te grass fires in icawn and ail over Darling- ton. llowever, there have been several already this month, with two on Wednesday af- ternoon, one near the C.N.

This week, Mervin Brock's barber shop has a huge board covering over it, although business wil be conducted as usual. Appar.. ently, an entirely new front wil be constructed by Ron Hetherington and his crew of carpenters. Mrs. Louella Glasford has sold out her Hoopers Ladies Wear shop next te the Big 20. It has been purchased by Mr. and Mrs. Frank Wright, proprietors of Rite's Smoke Shop who will seli out the merchandise and then move their smoke shop.into the premises. No announcement has been:made of two other business changes, although the Rented by Rankine sign appçars on the store formerly operated by Miler's Record Bar. Incidentally, Ella's Gift Shop has a new front window as a result of an accident when one of the town lads backed into it with a shattening effect. We also hear that other business moves are in the offing. t t t t i. HUNTER SAFETY - A new scheme based on suceqa- luLprffams iu. the United States has been undertaken liy the Dept. of Lands and Forests.

Watch for further announcements. \t t t t t POP BOTTLES - Last. year, a new idea was taken up by some of the town's cub packs. They collected pop botties from residents aud cashed them in to add to their funds. On April 25th, there will be another one under group committee chairman Pat Kelly and Ithe 4th Cub Pack. They will caîl at ail houses south of Queen St. to the lake. This is a good 'opportunity to dlean out those bottles that have been laying around the house.
