WiII Occu py Factory in Town's Industrîal Park Le 121 15e Per Copv BOWMANVILLE, ONTARTO. WE]~NESDAY. JUNE 25. 1975 26 Pages Number 2I~ c A new industry that will- employ 30 persons, Darfield Precision Fabricators, is moving from temporary facilities in Ajax to Bowmanville, and will expand its operations in a 10,000 square foot plant at 251 Simpson Avenue, in the Bowmanville Industrial Park. The principals in the company, Chris Blanch- field and Colin Darreil, are involved in preci- sion sheet metal chassis fabrication for ele- tronic computer, components. Mayor Garnet Rickard officially welcomed the, partners to Bowmanville, at a press conference on Tues- day. He stated it was "the best'news that has happened here in some time."' He added he was concerned with the lack of industrial expansion in Newcastle, and explained that industry was piot only good, from an economie point of view, but also balanced an area, so that people who lived here, could work here.

The mishap took place just north of Taunton Road. 0-P Const. David McDonaldin vestigated the accident. Driv- er of the southbound vehicle was Wlbur Clarke, 20, of Lot 18, Concession 5, Hampton. Frank Drea, MPP, Parlia- mentary Assistant, Minister of Consumer and Corporate Affaîrs, told the Durham East Riding Progressive Conser- vative Nomination meeting on Thursday, that he would identify in the legislature, this week, "the real ownfers and suppliers" of adult movies shown on the Yonge St. strip., He stated "it reads like a, who's who of organized crime in the United States.

BACK TO BICYCLE - Bicycles may become even more popular for everyday use around town by al ages following that federal budget increase of, 15 cents a gallon for gasoline. Businesses with salesmen on the road will be forced to increase the mileage rate paid to them and -those who are driving many miles to and from work could experience considerable hardship. And we can also look forward to higher heating costs this winter. There's just no end to rising costs, it seems. REJEC T OFFER - Secondary School teach- ers in the Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education area have turned down the board's latest offer on the 1975-76 collective agreement, according to a release received late Tuesday afternoon. Only 37 percent were in favor of accepting it. A secret ballot was held in their respective schools. So, what else is >new? PROBLEMS - Things are just a bit more confused than usual around The Statesman office this week. The heat has made everyone a, bit edgy, a new camera in the darkroom isn't reacting the samne as the old one on the page negatives and half tones and a couple of staff members are on holidays. With any kind of luck we still hope to be out on time, but expect some of the pictures and stories may have to be held over until next week. POOLS ARE PRIVATE - Around town and in nearby rural areas, many people have installed swimming pools for their ow n use and guests when they want them. There are some young offenders who hop fences and make use of them without permission. It's a dangerous and risky practice. The pool owner may have overloaded his pool with strong chemicals that could be in- jurious. He may also resent having initruders and the offender might be charged with tres- passing. One young fellow was surprised this week and in his hurry to avoid detection, left a pair of expensjve running shoes behind. DOMINION DAY - Next Tuesday, July lst, is a holiday to mark this country's birthday. Most stores and business places, will be closed, although some have decided to remain open and- take the Monday instead. We at The Statesman will be closed on Tuesday and correspondents are asked to have their news budgets in early because most of the edition will be completed on Monday. Have a good holiday. GREAT HOMECOMING - The folks whore-. ceived their early education inCartwright Con1- inuation School in Blackstock came home in droves last weekend to help celebrate the school's Golden Anniversary. Actually, it, was the 53rd but that made no difference. They had a wonderful time renewing acquaintances, try- ing to recognize and put na mes to the faces that f had changed over the years.
