a _-- MEMBER OF CANADIAN WEEKLY NEWSPAPER ASSOCIATION I -------- For Coming Events -- N ews Articles -- Advertising BroOKLIN NEWS -- Church Activities John Goodwin Takes Office as Reeve of Whithy Township Whitby Township's reeve-elect John G. Goodwin said Saturday he will press for the formation of a township council study committee to inquire into the feasibility of purchasing the hydro system to effect a saving for the community and have a greater control over installations in' the new areas. Mr. Goodwin was sworn into office as 1963 township reeve Saturday. Following is the text of his inau- gural address: 2 It is with great humbleness and a sense of pride that I have taken this. oath of office, I am humble because 1 realize that while I won this position in a hard fought election campaign, against an influential and respected opponent who has served this com- munity well for a great many years. I know that I was only elected to in- terpret public opinion and support that legislative business that fulfills the desired wish of the electors. It is with a great sense of pride that I will sit in the chair that sym- bolizes the head of municipal govern- ment knowing that it has been filled by men in the past who have set a high standard of dignity for the office of reeve. The year 1963 will have its prob- lems and in all probability the num- ber of problems will be relatively the same as other years, but, 1 feel the very nature of some of the problems that I foresee will take a lot of deli- beration. : The main point to remember I be- lieve is that the Township of Whitby is partly urban and partly rural, and, during this transformation from rural to urban, the Council of the day must try to give the urban people the ser- vice they want without taxing the rural people out of the agricultural market. But, on the other hand, the protec: tion offered the farmer must not im- pede progress in the urban areas. The present assessment battles in neighboring municipalities will' with all probability spill over into the Twp. of Whitby. While this is a problem for the delegates to Ontario County Council in particular, the whole coun- cil in general will be affected by the outcome. : It is my personal opinion that the whole policy of the roads department has been wrong in the past, on two counts. First, the municipality has allowed large amounts of money to be spent in rural areas, forgetting al- most entirely the needs of urban people. This is not to be construed that I oppose the spending of money for road purposes in rural areas, but 1 feel there is a lot that needs to be done in this area. 1 believe the need is in dust control rn Canadian School 0f Business - After four months of successful operation, The Canadian School of Business, hag added three new cour- ges to its curriculum. In an interview with Mr. L. Field, principal of The Canadian School of Business, the Star learned that students will now be able to enrol in a Legal Secretarial Course, Medical / Dental Secretarial Course and an Advertising Adminis. tration Course. The students of the Legal and Me: dieal Secretarial Courses will be in. troduced to all of the secretarial du- ties related to these specialized fields, Tours of legal offices and lectures by 'lawyers will be highlights of the course... A ; . The Advertising Administration Course is another first for The Cana- dian School of Business and Oshawa. Its purpose is to train the student in the managerial operations of an ad- vertising Psychology, Marketing and Office Management will "highlight this course. : Mr. Field also remarked that these courses may be taken at Night School as well as regular Day Classes, A 'Refresher Course for Medical and not the building of secondary high- ways. This I feel has been the sec- ond mistake, for at the rate we are reconstructing and paving roads, ap- proximately two miles per year, it will take 40 years to get around, 1 know the people will not accept a pro- gram that will last 40 years. The answer I feel is a program that has a lower standard and will give benefits to practically everyone in four to five years by putting a dust free top on the existing roads at the rate of about 15 to 20 miles a year. Then we would be in a position to re- surface with a permanent type of as- phalt the more travelled parts of the township. During the election campaign 1 spoke to a great number of people who were in favor of having artificial ice in the arena. I believe this would be a wise use of our credit since in all probability the revenue will be in- creased to cover the added operating cost and should be able to cover the principle and interest charges, or if there was a deficit it would be no larger than the value of free ice time that is given to the children of the community. } In the course of the year, it is my intention to press for the formation of a study group, probably along the lines of the water committee, to in- quire into and advise council on the feasibility of purchasing the hydro system so that it might effect a sav- ing in hydro costs for the community and have_a greater control over the installations in new areas. In closing 1 have a word for the appointed officials. I find in my study of municipal government, and the observation of the more success- ful surrounding municipalities, the principal of local government works best where the elected representatives develop the policy and the appointed officials administrate this policy. If this system were to be adopted in Whitby Township I know that 1963 will be a successful year, Reeve Good- win said. Seagrave Mr. and Mrs. B.

Brooklin Concrete Products Limited will soon install the first hydraulic press in Canada for the manufacture of precast concrete curbs and side- walk slabs. The company will be able to supply high quality units ready for immediate service, requiring no finishing or cur- ing, and highly resistant to frost action. | The machine, to be installed in the | Brooklin, Ont., plant of the company, "will produce at the rate of 100 slabs jand 60 curbs per hour. The company also has a plant in Newmarket for production of conventional concrete products. Although new to this country, the manufacturers of the hydraulic press, Fielding and Platt Ltd. of Gloucester, England, have been selling the mach- | ines throughout the world for more I than 60 years. The Ontario company twill handle sales and service of the { concrete presses in Canada. | "The pressure method of producing icurbs and sidewalks has distinet ad- vantages over our present vibration I system," says R. A. McCoy, president "of Brooklin Concrete Products Ltd. i "It will produce stronger, denser, 'high quality units at mass production "savings which will be passed on to the | consumer," he added. "In the case of "a municipality installing curbs or | sidewalks, this means, in the last | analysis, the taxpayer." Principal advantages, explained Mr, | McCoy, are not only speed of prod- i uction but an extremely strong, tough concrete, comparable to natural stone, Since the machine exerts a pressure | of 400 tons on each unit, the mix is {pressed to maximum density, forcing out all excess water. This extremely | dense product has a low water absorp: [tion and as a result is resistant to spalling and freezing damage. There is a wealth of test "i per- formance data available frém the half century of use of the machines and their products throughout the British Isles, throughout Europe, and "in other countries such as Australia {and 'South Africa, says the company.

ABSENCE OF DENTIST AT BOBCAYGEON 1S BECOMING ACUTE The absence of a dentist in Bobcay- geon has become so acute that the chamber of commerce is prepared to launch a full-scale search by what- ever means possible to bring one to the community. President Thomas Thompson said that three separate appeals last year, one from the chamber, one of its me- dical doctors and a private citizen to the Toronto university faculty of den- tistry went unanswered. A local bank manager has offered all reasonable assistance to help a dentist establish himself in the first year of practice. Village reeve Lawrence Cunning- ham said he is uncertain how council can assist in the problem. "However, we will do all in our power to try and remedy the situation." Bobcaygeon has been without a dentist for six years, From the vill- age to the nearest dentist in Fenelon Legal Secretaries is now prepared. SLE Motors, East, ; rt ai BET RE rr Fa ------ ------ !
