SHED SCORCHED BY FIRE Early Tuesday morning, Bowmanville firemen were called to the tobacco farm of John Zoelman, R. R. 4, (formerly the Saman farm) where fire was threatening to destroy his large garage- implement shed. Mr. Zoelman and helpers had managed to contain the fire, with firemen extinguishing extinguishing the remainder of the blaze. It started when Mr. Zoelman was repairing a tractor. MAKING GOOD RECOVERY The three Bowmanville workmen, injured in a gas explosion explosion on April 1st in town are making a good recovery. One of the men, Ernest Reader, has been released from hospital and allowed to go home where he is still under his doctor's care. The other two men, Ernest Perfect and Barton Aide remain remain in Oshaxva General Hospital Hospital where their progress is reported as very satisfactory. SET WARBLE FLY RATES The rate for warble fly spraying in Darlington during during 1971 was set at 25 cents per animal with a minimum charge of $3.00 per call, the township's council decided on April 2nd. Warble fly poxvder will be available to livestock owners at $1,00 per pound. Council also set the wage rate for the warble fly inspector, inspector, Clifford Pethick at $6.50 per hour to carry out the spraying program phis 10c per mile for mileage travelled as Inspector. Want Street Lighting Eligible for Subsidy The toivn of Bowmanville The city driver is t-vi.-and- has concurred with a City of a-half" times as likclv tu he Windsor resolution requesting involved m an accident at that street lighting be consid-1night as during Ihe duv: while ered an item eligible for the the rural driver's risk is al- Ontario Department of High-most three times greater after ways' subsidy. 'dark, it declared. The City is of the opinion According to a study made that illumination of roads in Washington. D.C.. the aver- should be subject lo subsidy from the D.H.O. as the proper drainage and curbing now is. "Modern methods of lighting road surfaces improves the efficiency efficiency and the safety of travelling travelling that surface, and should be recognized as vital to the lowering of the accident rate in the province," the city's 1 letter to town council noted. ; It backs up its statements with some pretty impressive figures. Such as, ail five of Windsor's pedestrian fatalities in 1970 occurred during nighttime nighttime hours and more than 50% of its. accidents at six majqr intersections occurred at night. Though darkness prevails 40 per cent' of the time and only 33 per cent of all highway traffic takes place during these hours, nearly 60 per cent of all fatal accidents happen at night, the letter stated. age direct cost of daylight ac-. cidents was S400 while fori nighttime the cost was $750. The British Rond Research; Laboratory reported recently' that, with improvements in! street lighting, injury accidents can be reduced as much as 30, per cent. i New Golf Professional Arrives As of Monday, Bowmanville Country Club has a new golf professional who is all set for a big season once the course dries enough for playing. He is Bob Burrows. 26, who got his pro card eight years ago and has been al Tluindorbird Golf course"north of Whitby. For 111" nasi Ivvn winters he has hold golf clinics for' ( leurrai Molms employees at Oslinwa. His wife Hazel is a nurse al Whitby where they are living. Bob'sl I father is well known as the pro ai Orillia Golf Club,'I BITS > PIECES FESTIVAL -- A chap who usually is well-informed, relayed a rumor on Monday that another rock festival festival is being contemplated for Mosport-this summer. No official word of such an event has been received here, but there wasn't any advance notice last year either, so it could be true. We haven't heard of any specific action the province has taken to prevent such an affair taking place. There was lots of talk after Strawberry Fields last year, but not much has been heard since. t t t t t PAPER -- Scouts will be out in full force this Saturday for the first paper drive of the season. Have those bundles on the curb bright and early and (he Scouts will help you out with your Spring houseclcaning. t t t t t OPENER -- Tonight at 7:30, the opening game in the Junior "C" Ontario finals will take place at the local ice palace with the Red Eagles meeting Dresden in a best of seven series. Dresden has the reputation of turning out good teams, but the Eagles should be in good shape to take them on. Port Perry Midgets last week beat out representatives from the same town, so we'll hope the same fate will befall their juniors. 7 f Ï t 7 NO CANVASS -- Courtice area women are trying something different instead of canvassing for the Red Cross. This Saturday, starting at 10 a.m. they arc holding a Bake Sale in the Coitr- ticc Highway School that will also include candy and farm produce. They hope to raise sufficient funds to put the area's $3,500 objective over the (op. t t TEMPTING -- George Smithson, Toronto-Dominion Bank's Ontario Division General Manager had a lough decision to make yesterday. At noon he had a meeting with top officials of a company and at the close, they invited him to go lo New York with them in the company plane. They had tickets for the Leals- Rangers game. He chose to come here for the farewell farewell dinner for branch manager Bob Lawton, and probably enjoyed himself more than he would have, at New York, the way the game turned out for Toronto. t t t t l FLAPJACKS -- The men of Orono United Church are on the prowl for money to help meet expenses. On Sunday, April ^Sth, they'll be serving serving pancakes, sausages and coffee in the church basement from 12:30 to 6:30 p.m. We can visualize complications. Picture if you will the smell of flapjacks seeping up through the floor while the Rev. Basil Long is preaching his sermon. It could disrupt the whole service. Also, with that 12:30 deadline, Pastor Long hadn't better preach too long or (hose first pancakes could be burned. Anyway, best wishes to the men cooks for their initiative. t t t t t CAN'T READ -- Our apologies to some of the subscribers subscribers in the Orono, Ncwtonville, Kendal area who last week may have received their Statesman a bit later than usual. They were late coming off the presses, so the east mails had left here when the papers were addressed. The Editor, always trying to give good service, drove the bags to Newcastle and Ncwtonville so they would be delivered at the usual time. But, obviously, ho didn't or couldn't read the labels because one Orono bag was dropped in New- tonvillo and the bag for that area was left in Newcastle. Newcastle. He swears there was no stop at the Elmhurst or Queen's Hotels on the way. WILL APPLY FOR GRANT Darlington intends lo apply for the Provincial Municipal Employment Incentive Program, Program, the township's council declared on April 2nd. Thé municipality is entitled entitled to a grant of about 510,000 t(j help generate work for ils unemployed. Bowmanville applied for the program also, during ils regular council meeting of April 5th.
