Page 2, Wednesday, June 30th, 1971, WHITBY FREE PRESS Attersley To Replace O'Connell Rîobert Attersley will take the seat of Coun. Hugh O' Connelî1 and ful- fill the remaining days of the lat- ter's term in mui- icipal office, it was decided by council on Monday night. Folilowing a brief address by Clerk Wi liam Wallace, councillors cast a vote choosing Ed- ward Cauchi or Robert Attersley as the nominee of their choice. Normall1y, the vacant seat for the west ward woul d go to the unsuccess- ful candidate in the 1last munici- p a l el1 ection who had the highest nu m ber of votes, but the candidate, Mr. William Davis no loncer lives in the c-o m m uni ty, w hich left the p r e r e q u i s i t e of naming as many no- minees as seen fit. Hugh O'Connell, who resigned from municipal office on June 15th, is now the youngest fed- eral judge in Can- ada. Among the things he wilbe most re- membered for in the town is "his quiet workfor people unable to help themselves f i n a n c ial ly", as was pointed out byMayor Desmond Newman last week. Housing Project Zoiuing Bylaw Amended, A bylaw permit- ting the develop- ment ofa senior c i tizen apartment project on the west side of Green St. , bet w een Pitt and [Burns Streets was given council ap- proval Monday night. Provisions in the b y I a w ýembrace a minimum lot area of 4 0, ooo square feet which show a m a x i m um num- ber dwelling units of 81. Maximum height of the builI ding when erected wouldbe five stor- ies. The bylaw is sub- ject to the approv- a·l of the Ontario Municipal Board. u TH OSE HOT DOG STANDS A new council phraseology, "those hot dog stands", has replaced in popularity Councillor HughO'Connell's - "It's un- bel ievable! " Co i n e r of t h e new phrase, Reeve Tom Edwards, was aiso responsible for the well-used, "partisan", heardof late throughout the chamber. EMPLOYMENT CONDITIONS- Real Estate "holding its own'.. Construction brings up orders for Carpenters, Laborers The current employment picture, the- orized at its grimest cross Canada, was broken down locally in an Information Services Report prepared by Canada Manpower, Oshawa Branch. In the Oshawa-Whitby area 1, 809 male workers and 1, 397 female workers were reported out of work in the month of May this year. Rubber, sheetmetal, furniture and steel industries in the area maintained normal production' schedules. Minimum hiring activity in the automobile indus- try during the past few months did not overly affect the number of laid off work- ers in the industry. Tobacco growers expect to hire the same number of primers as last year. Dairyfarms and livestock breeders in- creased their demand for experienced help. One industrial dispute was settled after a short term stoppage in produc- tion. A graduai construction start was rec- ognizedasorders for carpenters, cem- ent workers and labourers increased. Real estate was reported to be "hold- ing itsown"with some offices reporting buying and selling transactions picking up in various subdivisions. Activity in the professional, techni- cal andmanagerial section indicated lit- tle change in registered clients, thus making it difficult to fill specialized va- canci es. Some shortages of quailified persons were noted in the fol lowing occupations: construction engineer, civil draftsman, medical technologist, medical labora- tory technician, vocational teacher, (refrigeration), floral designer, insur- ance salesman, housekeeper, maid (gen- eral), meat cutter, sous chef, barber, hairstylist, sausage maker, office mac- hine servi ceman, bindery worker, sheet me t I worker, pattern maker, ware- house foreman and stationary engineer. We're Bi-Weekly! We were against the idea when a suc- cessful publisher of two Ontario news- papers suggested we go bi-weekly. But hi s suggestion was based on past exper- ience and common sense. We took his advice, did a little probing and discov- ered that most of our advertisers did prefer to budget their advertising in this manner. W e gained another advantage too. When an occasion, such as the County Town Carnival arises, we can come out with special editions, and we can also, go into our stories in more detail. So now we're bi-weekly. That means you won't see us next Wednesday but the __________following one. UnleE spot our 'littie blue s ignmen t. .'Yau have tc Thank-You waik, he said.

REVIVAL I About a year ago, a weekly news- paper called the WHITEY ARGOSY en- thusiastically joined the ranks of the area newsmedia. The Argosy was the first newspaper in nearly 4 years to reach the doorstep of the Whitby res- ident. Prior to the debut of the Argosy, the Town of Whi tby received news-cov- erage inside the pages of newspapers fromsister communities to the east and west. During the ensuing year, two news- papers arrived on a weekly basis at the doorstepof the Whitby homeowner, and an unhappy association between town and n e W s p aper was formed. 'Too smal 11 , 'Unworthy of the Town of Whitby', were the spontaneous comments of advertiser and reader alike. The WHITBY FREE PRESS, acc- ording to town records is no less than NewspaperWeekly Number 16. Ne, the staff know about that reader-adverti ser comment. Part ofour group is composed of staff of both the weeklies circulated in Whitby since May of last year. The secret of newspaper success in Whitby, it would then seem is worthy news coverage and consistency in pub- lication. Wevwon'tboreyou with the de- ta i 1 s of the past year by wash ing our 1in- en in public. The VHITB3Y FREE PRESS can't promise success. We can only hope for that. But we do think we know the secret of good newspaper, so we hope to be a- round for a long time. Allwe can promise is honesty - hon- estywiththereader, theadvertiser, the carrier and fel low businesses who doubt at time, and understandably so, the integrity of the small weekly.
