WHITBY CHAMBER OF COMM. HAS ESTABLISHED AN OFFICE To take care of the expanding ser- vices to the public, the Whitby Cham- 'ber of Commerce has established a temporary office in the Professional Building on Dundas Street West, where the Chamber's business can:he transacted, and with the secretary serving on a part-time basis, An ef- fort will be made to establish, if pos- sible, some definite office hours five days a week. The office reports a fine response to membership renewal notices 'sent out fon the year 1957, while several new members have been added to the rolls, An encouraging feature is the number of firms of various kinds with offices here "or elsewhere who have tion of the work of the Chamber by becoming members. Last year some 140 members were on the roll, and it is hoped to increase this number this year. The chairman of the membership committee is. Wil- liam Morrison, PLANT AT PORT HOPE Port Hope-~The first sod has been cut at the site in the east end of Port Hope purchased nine months ago for a uranium fuel rod plant. A construe- tion crew arrived in town last week from Toronto Industrial Leaseholds, who are to build and lease the plant on a 20-year rental basis to AMF Harrison Milne, plant works mana- ger, said that the foundations should be completed within a month. Deli- very of steel was expected in March and he thought the job would be fin- ished by the end of July. Tenders were being called for sub-conttacts now, he } : Total floor space will be around 37,000 square feet. Over-all costs of the building is expected to exceed $500,000. The new plant will fabri- cate uranium fukl rods for use in Chalk River reactors. Contractors will also be sought elsewhere. Pro- duction will be closely linked with the Eldorado Mining and Refining, which is also expanding existing facilities to produce uranium metal. The Crown corporation will supply the new priv- ate industry with uranium metal, which previously was exported from United States. he Mr. Milne also said he was start- ing to line up key personnel. About 50 employees will be needed by the end of the first year of production apart-from technical labor that will be needed for nuclear research laboratory that will be part of the plant, DELEGATES ASK UXBRIDGE COUNCIL FOR FINANCIAL AID TO HOSPITAL ! Two separate delegations were pre- sent at the regular meeting of council on Tuesday night to speak to mem- bers on the need of financial help to the hospital and to urge council to give it their support. Mrs. Pollock in introducing the subject stated that everyone realizes what a responsibil- ity council has in trying to please everyone and assured the members that all~the clubs and organizations so represented would stand behind them if the decision was favorable. Others who spoke on the subject and who were in favor of having a debenture issued to raise the balance of the necessary money was Les, Sie- grist and Harmon. . - Major Majury, Mr. R. W, Polloc and Mr. Weber were also' present and in favor of such action, LINDSAY FIRM TO GIVE AWAY A CAR EACH MONTH Eight business firms in Lindsay who are giving free draw coupons to pur- chasing customers in order that they may participate in a grand draw for a new motor car every month, are quite happy with the patronage they are receiving. : The idea of having an opportunity of winning a new car has a definite appeal to many people. The draw in which Lindsay business firms are taking part is being held in conjuction with many other stores and places of husiness in this part of Ontario. In one year twelve new. cars will be gi- ven away and Lindsay merchants and Atomic (Canada) Ltd. that customers in Lindsay and dis- trict will be among the fortunate win- ners, » The names of Lindsay business firms appear as follows: Beall Jow- ellers, Ross Newton Store, Percy Hou- zer's Men's" Wear Store, Regent Ser- vice Station, Quinn's Pharmacy, Lind- say Cleaners, Ted's B.A. Station, Drinkwater's Fina Service® Stafion, J.

Clipped Comments THE LOWLY NICKEL A western editor evidently with a sweet tooth in his boyhood went nos- talgic-in recalling the good old days when the lowly nickel had quite a bit of purchasing power at the candy counter. - He saya: "It used to be that a boy with five cents in his pocket was the envy of the rest of the boys in the neighbor- hood--and they stuck to him like flies until it had been spent to the full ex- tent of its limitless possibilities. Jaw- breakers, chewing gum, licorice sticks, humbugs -- and for the more adven- turesome-- even a package of honey- suckle or royal crown to puff on out in the woods or in the shed, were only a few of the things to be bargained for. He could spend the afterrioon at a show for a nickel or pick out two of the reddest, juiciest apples on the fruit stand." Time was when a nickel more than sufficed to buy a spool of thread, pay for a ride on the street car and make a purchase in the five-and-10 store. In the business world, about all it will do now is buy a five-cent postage stamp and provide fodder for parking meters. ' --Stouffville Tribune TO THE MERCHANTS At this time of the year local mer- chants take an inventory of their bus- iness and make a survey of how they can increase their sales in the coming year, It is an excellent idea. We might offer some helpful ideas, but instead we will pass on some advice which appeared some time ago in a Bankers Magazine, published in the United States, and applies particu- larly to town merchants, which reads: "No business man in any town should allow a newspaper published in his'town to go without his name and business'/being mentioned some- where in its columns. This does not mean that you should have a whole, half or even a quarter-page ad in each issue of the paper, but your name and business should be men- tioned if you do not use more than a two-inch space.

This is the best possible town advertising. The man who does not advertise his business does an injustice to himself and the town. The man who insists on shar- ing the business that comes to town, but who refuses to advertise his own is not a valuable, addition to any town. The life of a town depends on the live, wide-awake and liberal ad- vertising man."

RECIPE FOR A FULL LIFE The following is a recipe for a full life as recommended by Dr. Sidney Smith, President of the University of Toronto: ' If you choose to work, you will sue- ceed; if you don't, you will fail. If, you neglect your work, you will dis- like it; if you do it well, you will en-: joy it. If you join little cliques, you, will be self-satisfied; if you make friends widely, you will be interest- ing. If 'you gossip you will be slandered; if you mind your own business, you will be liked. If you act like a hoor, you will be despised; if you act like a human being, you will be respected. If you spurn wisdom, wise people will spurn you; if you seek wisdom, they will seek you. . If you adopt a pose of boredom, you will. be alive. If you spend your free time playing bridge, you will be a good bridge player; if you spend it in reading, discussing and thinking of things that matter, you will be an educated person. If your goal is social prestige, your life will be empty; if your gaol is to serve society, your life will be full. If your goal is to live fully, you will be free to live. If you are conceited about how much you know, you will be stupid; if you are humble, you will be wise. , If you try throughout life's journey to recall and enlarge what you have learned of the cultural and intellectual and spiritual heritage of the past, so as to stand on the giant's shoulders and see further, "to follow knowledge, like the sinking star, beyond the ut- most bounds of human thought", you will travel joyfully. You will never arrive at your goal-- you will never know all that you try to know-- but in trying you will be- come what you could never otherwise have been, and the world will be a better place by virtue of your quest. --Canadian Statesman.

Newnham visited her sister (Mary) Mr, and Mrs. Kim- "merly and family in Toronto on Sun- day. Thursday night at the church parv- lors a medium turn-out attended the social evening sponsored by members. of Y.P.U. The most important feature of this week's proceedings was, of course the presentation of the Budget at last Thursday's session. This was the 2nd Budget of the present Treasurer, the Hon. Dana Porter, and if one were to sum up in a few words, the only fit- ting expression would be, it was a masterly presentation. Of course it was bound to give rise to criticism, but it pointed up something we so often tend to ignore, and that was that progress is often costly. No new taxes have been necessary for the past 13 years but it has been evident for some time that this could not #o on inde- finitely, and this was the time for increases. All costs facing the Pro- vincial Treasury ave steadily increas- ing, the needs of the Municipal treas- uries have been so impressed on all of us that something definite had to be done. No Provincial Treasurer raises taxes from choice, and to do so calls for some measure of political courage. The Hon. Mr. Porter did a task that will call forth criticism, with a sense of realism that showed his close know- ledge of and appreciation of the size of the job facing the provincial gov- ernment and every municipal council and board of education, I believe this budget shall be called a budget for the "Little man" since his interests have been the first con- sideration. For a long time now, it has been evident that the home-owner had reached the end of his resources insofar as his ability to pay more taxes on his home or farm. Relief had to be provided for him and that is an outstanding feature of the budget; the increased un-conditional grants will be applied exclusively to benefit residential and farm taxpayers. This incerase amounts to a total of $8.2 millions. Other increased grants- will in the long run also help the home- owner, These include, increased grants High lady score to Miss Beth Hunter, high gent number to Mr. M. Burns- field, Consolation to Mrs. M. Beare and Mr. St. John. Prizes were now presented. ' : Perhaps one of the most exciting features was auction of the boxes by Mr. Roy Yeo. Blue stripe paper, red check, or proud pink bow adorning the collection of boxes changed to new owners. Plates of sandwiches; sweets plus coffee were purchased by indi- viduals not successful in bidding on a box. A half hour was enjoyed eating re- freshments. Leader Mrs. C. Newn- ham on behalf of Y.

After a couple of hours' had elapsed the time for total count.' folk. Also a big "thank-you" to "Ocean Blend People" who generous- ly donated coffee delivered by a rep- resentative Mr. R. Yeo. This Week in the Legislature Dr. M..B. Dymond, M,L.A, Lo assist in the payment of costs of the administration of justice; pro- vincial grants to Children's aid work will be incerased from 25¢ to 409%; the Province will increase its share of public assistance in the form of relief paid out by the municipalities from 60 percent to 60 percent. This is expect- ed to save at least $1.3 millions for the municipalities. Municipal road grants are to be increased to $63 millions this year. All these increases will bring the Province's assistance to an amount representing nearly half the total tax levy of the municipalities. The load of Education costs which steadily increases and js becoming a burden to many municipalities will be lightened by the increased aid granted by this budget. This has been pre- sented as a programme covering three years. In the first year the Province will raise the basic amount of elemen- tary teachers salary as an approved cost, from $75.00 to $100.00 per pupil of average daily attendance. This is to cost $56.0 million in 1967. The spec- ial pupil grant of $6.00 per elementary pupil will be raised to $8.00 this year; and the same special grant of $6.00 per secondary school will be increased to $20.00 per pupil for continuation schools; $25.00, for high schools and collegiate institutes and $30.00 for vocational schools. These grants will raise the province's share $5.0 millions, bringing the total grants of the 'pro- vince up to $101.0 millions from the present $81.2 million." In addition to this the province will increase it's grant to the Teachers' superannuation fund from $3.7 to $9.4 million. In the matter of health, grants have Again a special Capital and mainten- ance grant of $200.00 per bed is to be made to public general hospitals. In this riding this will mean $6,600.00 to Ajax, $6,400.00 to Port Perry and to neighbouring Oshawa Hospital $66,000. This naturally will aid the municipali- ties since they would no doubt have to find this money some-how. With the introduction of Hospitalization plan, proposed for 1959 (or earlier) further help will come to the municipalities in the matter of health as the province will then assume all hospital costs for those receiving social assistance. This is at present usually a charge on the local treasury and can be quite burden- some. All these increases could not be possible without finding more money than at present. Hence the need for increased taxes in the form of addi- cents per gallon gasoline tax. The latter is the one which will be felt most by the average man or woman, but it still leaves Ontario in as good a position in this regard as most other provinces and better than most. ---------------- A (In Stelco his home, steadily.
