Section Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, July 18, 1979 i Notes on Newcastle - 7 By William Humber In 1957 Ardeil Malowick quit General Motors to devote ten ,years of his life to producing facsimiles of the two door Bel- Air Chevrolet with non functional tail fins and excess side trim. In a small auto assembly plant in Illinois he and bis co-workers fashioned the body shape by hand from wooden molds. Always fearful that General Motors would act to close them down for stealing the design, Malowick and his fellow workers sold their cars as well preserved '57 Chevies to used car dealers tbrougbout the country. Malowick was a maverick in a field wbich bas become tbe largest and most important industry in the western world. Wben an Arabian oul baron imposes a new ten per cent surcbarge on oul, General Motors and Ford migbt quiver but a whole economy based on fast food restaurants, climate controlled shopping centre paradises, and self serving service centres, shakes. A quick tour of the Town of Newcastle reveals its attacbment to the automobile and its by-products. Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company alone employs over 400 people in its Bowmanville Plant in the production of industrial rubber products. As well the most important transportation link in Ontario, Hligbway 401, cuts a swatb tbrough the town's underbelly. Tbat higbway was the dream of an engineer Bill Fulton whose words reveal the new order of 2O0th century_ Visual JCentre of Newcastle tecbnology. "We must", be said, "bave a highway - clear across the province - witb a rigbt of way something like the railways bave. Pretty well a straigbt line from Quebec down to the southwestern corner of Ontario witb ample width for development. " Newcastle is also home to that ultimate symbol of automotive worsbip, tbe raceway. The, faitbful will endure alI of weather's torments for a glimpse of the industry's finest achievements at Mosport. And a quieter communion is available near tbe village, of Tyrone just two concessions soutb of the speedway. Jobn McLaugblin and bis fellow settlers namned the village after their home in the County of Tyrone ini Ireland. Today a plaque and tbree old buggies commemorate the site wbere John's son Robert bad bis first worksbop. Hle soon outgrew these premises however and ini 1869 be moved bis family and bis cutter and buggy building business to Enniskillen. By 1876 lack of banking facilities and rail service resulted ini another move, this time to Oshawa. In 1880 Robert invented the MeLaugblin Patent Buggy Gear and bis carniage business was now set to become one of the great Canadian industries. In the early part of the new century McLauglin's sons took the lead ini introducing automobile production. Having worked out an agreement witb the American producer they began installing Before going to the next frame and col- ouring the relay race in the park, ist 3 safe and 3 unsafe places to play.

Buick engines in wbat was to become known as the McLaughlin Buick. By 1918 tbey were also producing Chevrolets having long given up tbe carniage business. In that year their association with General Motors led to merger. The giant American firm purcbased the McLaughlin Motor Company and Cbevrolet Motor Car Company but retained the McLaughlins to run' tbe Canadian operation. Sixty one years later it is bard to conceive of General Motors of Canada getting its start as a small village enterprise in wbat is now the Town of Newcastle. Yet tbis fact should serve to remind us that industrial enterprise and technological breakthrough are not confined to a corporate engineer's drawing board. It is just as likely that somewbere perhaps in a garage in the countryside of Newcastle, an Ardell Malowick is at work perfecting tbe design of some past automotive relic. Or perhaps a frustrated artist is stumbling' upon the 2th century equivalent of Robert MeLaughlin's Patent Buggy Gear wbich will revolutionize the automobile., 1Robert McLaughlin himself began as an independent craftsman in an age when workshops employing less than a haîf a dozen people dominated the, Canadian economy.

Consider Cost 0f Three-Hour Parking Meters On Church St. Giving motorists an extra hour on their meter when they park on Church St. could cost somewhere between $2818.42 and $4,656.52. In a report to the town's finance and administration committee, by-law enforcement officer Larry Simpson said that it would cost $91.91 per meter to convert from two bour, parking limits to three hours. Exchanging the present two bour meters for three hour ones would cost $122.54 and this course of action was recommended. He suggested that the tbree hour parking limit could be adequately provided for witb the conversion of 23 parking meters between Scugog and Silver St. "The conversion cost, although somewhat less expensive, involves converting our present mechanisms wbich are more than seven years old, Mr. Simpson said. The higber cost of $4,656.52 would be incurred by converting ail meters along Church St. from Scugog to Temperance. Tbe committee voted to consîder the parking meters at the next finance and administration meeting when more information would be available. 4 to 6X Reg 1 .$6.49 ............... $3w mue 28" x 76" 100% NYLON SLEEPI'NG BAG GIRLS'SHORTSLEEVE SUMMER TOPS Reg. $1 1 9.99 ........ $l2n66 Reg. 12.99.. .................
