Mr. Frank Downs o! De- troit-formenly a resident of Bowmanville. Mr. Dawns died Apnil 2nd and was buried on Aprîl 6th in Acacia Park Cein- etery. Detroit. He was son o! the late Mr. and MIrs. Robert Downs who lived on Scugog Street in Bowmanviile, in the bouse where Miss Lola Downs now resides He is believed ta be one a! the lait of those who were employees in the Domnin- ion Organ & Piano Company during the '80s. Mr. Downs re- tained an intense interest in bis home town, visiting here almost every year and keeping abreast o! the local news through contact with his sister, Miss Lola Downs and through the columins o! The Statesman for wvhich be bas subscribedi since leaving this community. Oeo! bis greatest disap poinnients was that he was un- able ta attend the Centennial celebrations here last year. Mns. Downs was the former Velma Jewell, also a native o! Bowmanville. She bas been in frail health for several years. In October, 1954, The States- m.an publlshed an article which provided sanie high- lights o! Mr. Downs' career with Grinnel Brothers o! Detroit who, at that time were celebra- ting their 75th anniversary. lie had been with theni since 1901 as head o! the piano repair and tuning department. Part o! that story is as fol- lows:j «"Mm. Downs has seen many changes since he joined this famous music firrn in 1901 as a salesman. The parlor organ caine and went, though it had a considerable revival during the war when chaplains want- ed the little organs for servicesJ behind the lines. Pianos have ecently risen in sales, more- pianos being sold in the U.S.1 in 1950 than since 1927. Another article in the De- trait News tells o! Mmr Downs wonderful ear ini tuning pianos, and the decline o! this profes- sion today. He rectntly tested a mechanical device for piano tuning but threw up bis hands in despair. "It won't take the place o! a man," he said. The piano tuning business is not keeping pace with the cauntry's revised interest in piano mnusic, Mr. Downs stated in the interview appearing in the Detroit paper. "There's a shortage o! tun- ers," he said. "When the pres- ent crop retires, the country is going to hear a lot o! o!!-key music. Young fellows just aren't learning thse trade." This was a n-ystery ta Mr. Downs, who says that it is a good living. Aiter the war, a number o! ex-GI's enrolled at piano tuning scisools, but mast of theni dropped out 'after a few months. Last year, 180,000 pianos were sold in the Unittd States. "And when you figure 'those pianos should be tuned at least twice a year," said Mr. Downs, "1you can see wby the country needs mare tuners." A piano is stifl tuned by ear, he said, and can't see any fu- ture for a mechanical instru- ment taking thse place o! the human ear. It takes about six months ta, learn, and a tuner needn't necessarily know mu- sic as ldng as he bas a sensitive ear. Mr. Downs helped to make and repair Grinnel pianos made in Detroit when he first joined thse firm. "After we made theni, we called for a teani o! horses kept in the basement and delivered thse piano." Mr. Downs was ini charge a! ail repair and tuning work, done by the Grinnel finm and had six men working for him. The fiin which started out with sewing machines and switched. ta pianos and other instruments, is a typical exam- pIe o! American enterprise. They now have 27 stores in Michigan, one in Toledo and two in Canada at Windsor and Sarnia.j Cartwright Grants $250 To Caesarea Fire Brigade A grant of $250 to the Cae- sarea Fire Brigade was apprav- ed by the Cartwright Town- ship Council at the meeting held in Blackstock recently. Council also made a $200 grant ta the Caesarea Community Pire Hall, end waived taxes on titis building because if not only houses the fire fighting equipment, but also is used as a public hall for the commun- ity. The township Cauncil de- cided that in future the brigade will be known as the Cart- wright Volunteer Fire Brigade. The agreement with the Part Perry Pire Brigade and the Corporation of Port Ferry was alsa renewed. The Road Superintendent presented the department ap- proved budget for road expen- diture in 1959 as follows: Con- struction of roads, $14,000; road maintenance, $13,000-, Construc- tion o! bridges, $3,000; main- tenance of bridges, $2,000; aJ total of $32,000.

Y Township Hall Packed For Hearing on Zoning 0f Darlington Township, jThse crowd o! people interested in tise Ontario Municipal Board Hearing regarding the Darling- ton Townsbip Zoning By-Law held in Hampton on Monday was so large that tbe Council Chamber o! thse Township Hall becamne filled ta overflowing. Iti iwas decided ta hold the meeting downstairs where the Commun- ity Hall was filled ta capacity wihacrowd of more than 250 Forffial Zonlng Hea ring R. L. Kennedy, a member af the Ontario Municipal Board, was chairman of the meeting. He pointed out that it was a formnal hearing for approval of Darlington Township Zoning By- Law No. 2111. He stated fhat a decision wauld not be given that day, but that after he re- ports and confers with his cal- leagues the decisian will be made. Control By-Law ln 1955-58 Alan A. H. Strike, solicitor for Darlington Township. gave the background of the appeal being made for approval o! the Muni- cipal Board for the Zaning By- Law. He said that Darlington had started planning somne time aga, and that a Sub-Division Control By-Law was passed in the suramer o! 1955. Next came the Official Plan and the Zaning By-Law, Mr. Strike stated, and added that a Planning Board was formed. The Officiai Plan was approved in July by Darlington Township and the Zaning By-Law was passed an February 5th. Mr. Strike explained that in January, 1958 the Township Council had passed a Temporary Zoning By- Law whîch had been approved by the Municipal Board on Feb. 7th, 1958. Explaining the purpose of the Zoning By-Law Mr. Strike point- ed out that this part o! Ontario is near the fringes of Toronto, Weekend visitors witls Mr. and Mms Fred Cole and Gary were Mns. Fred Pethick, Mr. and Mm. William Currie and Joyce, Tor- onta and Mrs. David Ault and Freddie, Mono Milli there are growing sub-divisians and consequent municipal prob- lemns. The Zoning By-Law is an endeavor ta make grawth more orderly, Mr. Strike saiJ, and ta control the areas ta bel developed. Dcarington Planning1 Board ecommended the by-law,' and it was passed by Council. Protection ta Property Holders The members o! Darlington Township Council believe that thse Zoning By-Law will be a protection ta property bolders in the township. lie said that the Zoiing Plan covers in- dustrial, commercial, agricultur- al and esidential sections, and the Council bas the authority ta set out thse Zoning o! the area, Mr. Strike asserted. A great deal o! study on thse matter bas been done by Darl- ingtan Council and the Planning Board with the guidance o! Municipal Consultants, Ltd., Toronto, Mr. Stnike said. Several lawyers acting as counsel for saine property hold- ers were present and were caîl- ed on by thse chairman. John Regan, on behal! o! bis client John Watson, stated tbat tbere us a problernio! great importance ta, thse township as a whole in regard ta thse owners o! summer cottages. "30,000 Feet Is Too Large" "My client, John Watson, Is thse owner o! six and a bal! acres, part o! Lot 3, tbe Broken Front Concession. This area fronts on Lake Ontario. Mr. Watson owns several cottages, and they have been occupied for tbree or four years. Others are older. The Zoning Requireinent Table, Item 12, shows the me- quirement for an agricultural area, and this section bas been zoned as agricultural. Thse me- quirements for a bouse here are a lot area o! 30,000 feet witb a frontage o! 150 feet. This 30,000 feet for a suxnner cottage lot is too great an area," Mr. Regan said. lie asked that the mni.i mumi requirement be reduced ta 15,000 feet witb a frontage o! 50 feet. lie also asked that thse faor area for a cottage be re- COMPETITIVE PRICES PLUS PERSONAL SERVICE Iý IIIq BUUijITtL1[I1IFS SPECIAL VALUES AND REMINDERS FOR THIS WEEK YOUR DRUGGIST RECOMMEN DS MULTIPLIE VITAMINS Each tabletcontains 7 essentiel vitamins.

School Contest (Cantinued from page one) study o! the efficiency and economics o! electrie heat has been made by the board who have expressed the belief that the systeni will prove ta be more economical ta operate. It is also, believed that it will require less maintenance and be bealthier for the children. A çonstant temperature level will be main- tained in each rooni individually, eliminating the possibility o! averheating some roams ta ade- quately heat others, or the re- verse. Architects who have been working with the board and who produced this attractive drawing are John B. Parkin Assaciates who have done much o! the schoal building in Bowmanville. Reason for the new structure is that school enroliment has been steadily increasing each year by between 60 and 70 pupils, said Board Chairmari Norman O'Rourke this week. A survcey of the town's pre-school age children shows that thisý same increase can be expected ta continue for the next five years. An enrolPmnent o! 1,400 students is expected this Septem- ber. At an average of 30 pupils ta a room, this would mean we could neeci 47 clas-roonis, he stated. At present, with 13 rooms in CýuiLral Public SchecÀ, 12 at Vincent M\assey and 10 at Ontario Street we total only 35 rooms. If wve increased the number o! pupils per classroom ta about 35, we would stili require 40 rooms, or five more than we have at present. The increase in pupils is general throughout the town, a fact which made it difficult ta, determine the proper location of the new schoal, continued Mr. O'Rourke. The final decision ta locate in the northern part of town was reached for several reasons. It would ease the in- creasing pressure on Central School which in turn could re- lieve same o! the overloading at Vincent Massey which wauld then be able toa ad Ontario St. The smaller children froin bath Scugog and Manvers Road, north of Concession St. will no langer be required ta cross the railway tracks.
