F. Wills. Announcement of the 20,000 sq. f t. addition cornes less than four months after the plant began rnanufacturing Keytape data preparation devices. Increased export business was the reason for the expansion, Mr. Wills said. The Bowmanville facility, which manufactures Keytape for the world market, exclusive of the United States, will devote part of its increased capacity to serving the rapidly growing Japanese market. The plant addition is expected ta be open by lune of this year. Honeywell's Bowmanville plant is located on a 12-acre site north of Highway 401. Initial investment was approximately $1 million. Keytape data preparation devices eliminate the normal intermediary step of preparing punched cards on conventional keypunch machines as a means of getting information into a computer.

Peculiar how these things happen when you are rushed for time. However, some people like finding mistakes in newspapers and we try to please them ail. HEART - It's difficuit to keep up with ail the fund drives that corne between January and April, but the money gees to worthwhile causes and that's the important thing. The Heart Fund asks ail those who were flot home when they caIled, to mail or take the envelopes that were left to the Bowmanville Branch of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce before the end of the month. No point in taking thern in without inserting some dough, it's not the envelopes they need, it's cash money. BRIER - If you haven't been over ta take in some portion of the Canadian Curling Championship Brier at Oshawa Civic Auditorium, there's stili time. Those who have made it advise that it's a tre- mendous show even if you don't know much abotif curling.

Even Keith Conneil's deer at Bowmanville Zoo are in color. The whoie thing was extremely well donc, except for one item in the legend that rcads "Principle Kings Highways". Shouldn't that be "Principal" ? These are the things that turn your hair grcy or gray in this printing and publishing business. And we expect kids ta knaw how ta spel this mixed up English la nguage.
