And as the Bowmanville Corps celebrates its centennial this year, it is asking for assistance from anyone anyone who can help piece together some of its history. Information obtained on the Salvation Salvation Army in Bowmanville will be published in an upcoming special section of the Canadian Statesman. Captain Ellis Cuff explained last week that the Salvation Army is looking for information from individuals individuals who may have been helped by the "Army" during the past decades. decades. He added that in addition to the regular food, shelter and counselling counselling provided by the Salvation 1 ' * Army, some local residents may have been assisted by the organization. organization. during wartime or during immigration. immigration. The Salvation Army was found on the battlefields during both world wars and it provided assistance assistance to immigrants as recently as the late 1970's when the "boat people" came to Canada. In addition to hearing personal recollections of how the Salvation Army has assisted residents in this area, the organization is interested in finding out more about its history through old photos, newspaper clippings, books, diaries, or any other material which may shed some light on the past. Captain Cuff pointed out that because because the Salvation Army has been in here since 1884, the Bowmanville citadel must, have been among the h j ' k earliest in Ontario. He admitted that in its emphasis on programs in the community, the Salyation Army has kept only fragmentary fragmentary records of its own history. That's why information on subjects such as a Salvation Army training home on King St., Bowmanville, or a Salvation Army branch in Tyrone is sketchy. It is known, that the Salvation Army was for many years located at the site of the Veltri Apartmént Building. It then moved to its current location location on Division St. and will be moving moving again this spring when it takes possession of the former Liberty Pentecostal Chruch on Liberty St. Today's Salvation Army Corps in Canada numbers 120,000. \ t he e Taxpayer May Face Increase of Three Per Cent Anyone with informatics,] on the history of/the Salvation Army iv'( Bowmsnvflle is as/ted to [contact Captain Ellis Cuff, at 17 Saunders Ave., L1C 2A6. 1 Respondents may remain anonymous if they wish. The average taxpayer will face a three per cent increase in the regional regional share of his tax bill if a recommendation recommendation from Durham's finance and management committees is approved approved this week. The committees have recommended recommended that the regional levy for 1984 be restricted to a three per cent average increase or less. And that recommendation will be discussed by Durham's regional council when it meets today (Wednesday, February 1), in Whitby. In a report to council, finance department department staff cite several reasons why the regional taxes could be kept within the three per cent limit. One of the main reasons is the social social services budget, which is less than expected. The budget for that department now stands at approximately approximately $6.7 million. In addition, the year-end surplus of $1.5 million is approximately $400,000 higher than anticipated. Finance department staff are also reporting that the 1984 inflation inflation rate is projected to be less than that of previous years. This will also help Durham to pare expenditures in 1984. Both Durham Region and the Town of Newcastle have already approved budget guidelines calling for the average tax increase to be held at five per cent or less. Chairman Robbed Durham Region Chairman Gary Herrema had clothing and other personal items valued at about $1,500 stolen from his car parked at the Midtown Mall, Oshawa on Monday. A spokesman for Durham Regional Regional Police said Herrema stopped at the downtown mall and discovered clothing was missing when he returned to his car about 30 minutes later. Among the stolen items was a flight bag, three suits, a portable portable radio, plus shirts and other personal items, police said. Police Commission Still Prefers Site On Edge of Town Members of the Durham Region's police commission have advised Newcastle council that they still prefer to locate a new police station on the outskirts of Bowmanville. "It is the decision of the board of commissioners of police that the location location chosen two years ago was an excellent choice and we can see no reason why we will not be able to provide the same service to the people of Newcastle from the new location as from the present location," location," the commission said. The letter was a response to New- ■ castle council's request that the rik'Tie," cfothnvsRion consider hit' the pew police build : imwntowiji Bowmanville. 7 /In a letter to Newcastle council l/ist week, Police Commission Chairman Bob Attersley stated that the location for the new home of 16 Division is 1.1 kilometres from Bow- manville's downtown core. This distance was favorably compared compared with four other Durham Region Region police headquarters located between between .8 kilometres and 2.8 kilometres from the downtowns of other regional municipalities. The police commission also noted that a two acre site near the corner of Highway Two and Regional Regional Road 57 had been purchased with the concurrence of the town council of the day. The land was bought at a price of $7,700 per acre. consider loca.t- ng iu Snowarama Raises 9 24,000 for Timmy Greg McCrum, Long Sault Ridge Runner Snowmobile Club member, takes 1984 Timmy, Paul Cox for a snowmobile ride after raising $400.00 of the $1700.00 raised by the snowmobile club for crippled children.

On Saturday afternoon, he was taking pictures of a cap presentation presentation ceremony at Cobourg Hospital where the subjects subjects were 37 candy stripers, plus those in charge. Later in the evening, after he'd changed to a new roll of film, he took some at Cobourg Arena of a hockey game between Port Hope and Cobourg Rotary Rotary Clubs. He feels that's where the missing film went astray. Sad to say, on that same film were other photos of three new members being installed at the Bowmanville Jaycees Club last Wednesday. They are Rick Keeler, Doug O'Rourke and Carlos Santas. The members were welcomed by President Rick Allen and National Vice-President Bruno de Vito at San Marino Restaurant. We'll have to rephotograph rephotograph them at a later meeting, unless that film turns up somehow. NEW SIGN POSTS -- Andy Tielemans phoned to say that the new posts for hanging banners proclaiming proclaiming upcoming events are now installed at the east and west sides of Bowmanville on Highway 2.

HAPPY WINNER - It wasn't $14 million, but Joe Cuddahee of Bowmanville is still quite thrilled about winning $1,000 in last week's Wintario draw. No doubt he's wondering if it might be worthwhile to invest some of that dough in this week's 6/49 lottery lottery now he's on a roll. There, the pot is $500,000, a tidy sum. CAT UP A TREE -- Another cat has been rescued from high up in a tree on High Street. This time, it was the animal control officer who did the Good Samaritan rescue job, with assistance from the Hydro Commission's cherry picker machine. What's with these north end cats?
