James Thornton named to Akron Firestone position James F. Thornton, P. Eng., son of Frank and Eleanor Thornton of Myrtle, has been named manager of electrical engineering for the Firestone Tire & Rubber Company in Akron, Ohio. In his new position he will be responsible for all elec- trical engineering for the domestic and international tire plants, as well as the diversified, chemical and raw materials facilities, world wide. Thornton is a graduate of Henry Street High School, Whitby, and the University of New Brunswick in Fredericton. He is currently residing in Wadsworth, Ohio with his wife Frankie and daughters Sherri-Lee, age il and Jami Sue, age 7. CONT') FROM PG. 21 The restaurant business is not new to John. He worked in Toronto for 22 years and four years in Newmarket. He got tired of working for someone else and decided to branch out on his own. He does not regret the move and feels confident that his Watermill restaurant will soon be known to dîners all over Durham Region. We asked John how he could give so much for so lit- tle and his answer was, careful buying and making it a family- venture. He takes a personal interest in his customers, and we noticed he always had time to get to the front door and speak to them before they left. It was also evident to the observer that both par- ties enjoyed this type of friendliness. The Watermill is licensed under the L.C.B.O. and can accommodate up to 150 per- sons. When you enter from the front door, you find a small dining room, then another to your left and a larger room known as Ye Old Mill Room at the rear. This latter dining room which is the largest of the three, contains a fireplace, and is tastefully decorated with old English type prints on the walls. Red table cloths adorn each table and the waitresses are both friendly and courteous. The Watermill also lias banquet facilities for up to 85 persons and is already looking forward to catering to parties at Christmas. John says he likes to see families come in and, we noticed there were several of them on Sunday. This is a restaurant where a man can take his family for a Sunday dinner, watch them eat all they can, and know that the cost is very very reasonable. John's son George, while on a trip down to the Maritimes, ran across an old fashioned watermill and was so taken with it, the family decided to use this as the name for their restaurant. The Watermill is only about 20 minutes away from the Whitby-Oshawa area and the good food and good prices makes it well worth the short time it takes to get there. John will be advertising some specials very shortly in this newspaper, so keep an eye open for them, it will save you money. We recommend the Watermill knowing that you can't beat the quality or the price, and once having eaten there you will want to return again. James F Thornton
