The project includes the addition of a 10-storey apartment-hotel section (at rear) and an expanded three-storey wing (in foreground). The existing hotel has 57 rooms and if the expansion is approved the new building will include as many as 130 units, as well as a new lounge and enclosed swimming pool. The proposed expansion cleared its first hurdle on Monday, December 3rd, when Town Council unanimously approved a site change in the zoning by-law regarding maximum height to permit the 10-storey section. Construction is slated to begin in the faîl of 1974.

Cheesman, Bowmanville, we're repeating it here because it's cute. She writes "My littie niece was to attend a large garden party with me in England - and had been instructed to reply with "My Lord" should the Bishop speak to her. Sure enough, the Bishop approached and said: ",Hello my little child and how old are you?" Excited and confused, she exclaimed: "My God, I'm only five!" ENERGY CRISIS - It appearsthat some people seem to think the fuel crisis is so acute that they don't bother to try buying gasoline for their vehicles . . . they steal it and to make matters worse, take the gas tank caps along too. R. Walker and his son of Elgin Street had the full tanks on both their cars drained recently and the thief took one of the tank caps. To make mnatters worse, there's been such a run on locking tank caps that the Canadian Tire store was sold out of them.
