Celebrates First Birthdav BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO, Cartwright Garbage Dispute Continues Several weeks ago, under pressure from a resident committee with 400 support- ers, Seugog Council decided to end garbage collection in the former township of Cart- wright. The only exception was to be the beach area where the service had been in existence for 20 years. Many people seem to be dissatisfied with this decision and another petition is circu- lating. Council has instructed Clerk Neil Brodie to investigate the feasibility of charging each householder a fixed fee for garbage collection. In this way, the individual household- er could decide whether he wished garbage collection or not. Mayor Lawrence Malcolm and Clerk Brodie both feel that this alternative, suggested by Coun. Don Frew, is impracti- cal. According to Mayor Malcolm, the old manner of connecting garbage collection to the mill rate is preferable. Bradley Alan Osborne celebrated his first birthday on Saturday, Sept. 21st, 1974 .His proud parents are Mr. and Mrs. Alan Osborne and grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Masterson and Mr. and Mrs. Harry Osborne, all of Bowmanville. - McRobbie Photo Le gion Publication Salutes Long Time Member with a 'This is Your Life' Article From the Legion Informer) Mr. John Goodall bas been a member of Branch i78 since the night its first meeting was held in the English Church. Prior to that he was a member of The Great War Veterans. John was born in McDuff, Scotland, on 5 May 1887. He was the youngest of ten children. He came to Canada in 1911 and went to Newcastle, Ontario, to help his brother who was in the Blacksmith business there, He moved to Bowmanville the next year and bas made his home here ever since. He worked for Goodyear during the construction of their building and helped lay the hardwood floorxng at the phenomenal sum of $1.50 a day . After that he continued to work for Goodyear and stayed Ontario there and paid $5.00 a week for with them for 23 years, until he was pensioned off at age 70. His job was making Diamond Treads for tires. John has had some interest- ing jobs around town. He worked at the Castle Hotel (it was called the Balmoral in those days and was owned by Goodyear). He aiso boarded nei ec put up the Pump House an three reservoirs. He also worked for the Town, instal- ing storm sewers on King Street and the catch basins when the streets were paved. He has also done quite a few other general outside jobs for the Town He worked for six years at the Foundary, cutting sand for their mods. This work was all done by hand as they had no machines in those days. John says that he bas had many jobs in bis life time and be is proud of the fact that he never lost one. He smiles and says that he was always hired, but never fired. He went on the Picket Line once for a dollar a day but he could only stand one day of that nonsense. 1He enlisted with the lst Battalion, Kingston, in the fall of 1914 and be became the Recruiting Officer in Bow- manville for the 1st Division and the 2nd Division. He went to England with the 2nd Division and he was in the Service for.four years and six months. He was discharged with the rank of Sgt. on the 24th May holiday in 1919. John was awarded three medals for his service in the First World War and he also has three from the Second World War. He joined the Canadian Forestry Corps in Ottawa and was in the U.K. during the time of the Battle of Britain. The Corps had 50 Companies in Scotland cutting timber for use in Britain after the submarine pillage curtail- ed shipments from Canada. John remained in good health during bis service in both wars and therefore was never awarded a pension. He still enjoys excellent health and bas a continuous sparkle in bis eyes. Mr. Goodall married Helen Black in the English Church in Bowmanville in the Fall of 1914. He met ber at the Boarding House where he was staying. She was English and was born in Newcastle-On- Tyne. Mrs. Goodall is now deceased and John lives at 31 King Street East in Bowman- ville. These days you will find him engage din another "cause", that of obtaining signatures from the people of Bowmanville to present to the Ontario Government as a Petition, to let them know how many people feel strongly about retaining the name of Bowmanville. John, like so many other residents, is understandingly upset over the fact that the direction signs indicating Bowmanville have been taken down on the 401. So if you haven't already signed bis Petition drop by and do so. You will find John "on duty" just outside 31 King East most of the time. Although he never actually held an executive position, John bas done a great de4l of work for the Legion over the years. He was always a helper at Carnival Time and be can tell some tales about organi- zing dances in the streets to raise money for the Club in the early years when they were without funds. John was an avid football player when he was younger. He played for Goodyear but Goodyear didn't sponsor them like the business firms do today. The players went to the games on their own time and at their own expense and paid for the equipment themselves. John says that his team was the best in the area and the won every game they playe. John has been around Town for a good long time and is well known to Legion Mem- bers and residents of the Community. I affectionately call him 'Mr. Poppy" and he has certainly done his share for the Poppy Fund for many years. On Poppy Day he is always out canvassing from early in the morning until everything is closed up at night and he never leaves his Post, even for a meal. John not only gives of his time to the Legion but ie truly givestsome of himself.....so join me in Saluting him; wishing him all the very best in the future, and in saying, "Thank you, John". WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1974 SECTION TWO Utilities await theword Change is definitely on the way for municipal utilities in regional government areas. The questions are when and how. by Bill Settat ree Ontario Hydro News Morley Watson is beginning to feel jinxed. The manager of BowmanviHe PUC is facing a problem common to dozens of other municipal utility managers across the province - his future is uncertain because of regional government and the planned restructuring of utilities. But Morley has been displaced twice before. once when a portion of Ontario Hydro's London rural operating area was taken over by London PUC; the second time when 80. per cent of Sandwich West Township was acquired by Winds& Utihi- ties Commission. Each time, though, he's bettered himself and he's confident that under a restruc- MPP Concerned Over Court Decision on Snowmobile Accident in Northern Ont. Concern has been expressed by Alex Carruthers, M.P.P., Durham over a supreme court ruling on a snowmobile acci- dent in Northern Ontario involving a Mr. Peter Vinot of Larder Lake who struck a protective steel pipe across a private road owned and main- tained by Kerr-Addison Mines Ltd. The court awarded da- mages to Mr. Vinot and in Mr. Carruthers' opinion establish- ed a precedent which could affect all property owners. The rights of property owners was a matter of great concern to the members of the Ontario Select Committee on Motorized Snow Vehicles and All-Terrain Vehicles of which Mr. Carruthers was chair- man. One of the important recom- mendations of that committee was designed to protect pro- perty owners. The recommen- dation reads: "That were written permis- sion is given by the owner or occupier of private property to a person to operate a motori- zed snow vehicle on such lands, then such landowner or occupier shall not be civilly liable for damage or injuries suffered by the motorized Photography Gallery Expands Operations Collector's Choice The exhibition at The Photo- graphy Gallery during Octo- er will feature a wide variety of approaches to photography spanning several decades. It is a selection from private sources, gathered over the years and a number derived from former exhibitions at the Gallery with significant addi- tions of work by Dorothea Lange, Cornell Capa and Dan Weiner. Two New Exhibiting Centres The Photography Gallery is also oleased to announce that, commencing i October, we will han regular exhibitions at Library locations in both Orono and Newcastle Village at the request of the Town of Newcastle Library Board. The first exhibitions at these locations will be the Baffin- land photographs by Lorne Smith of Fort Churchill, Manitoba and Bob Billyard's photographs covering a wide varietv of subiect matter from an explicitly personal view- point. This' expansion of the Gal- 's Triple-A Bond Issue clears U.S. Market in record time TORONTO - The Province of Ontario's $175 million bond issue, which went on the U.S. market earlier this month, was sold in record time. It was the largest by any Canadian province in the U.S. market and the first by any such issuer having Moody's Triple-A \e designation. The province sold the 30- year debentures in New York at 10¼ percent in- terest through un- dqrwriters led by Salomon Brothers and Wood Gundy Inc. The money raised will go towards financing Ontario Hydro's capital construction program. The Dow-Jones an- nouncement of the new rating noted that previous Ontario issues were rated Double-A by Moody's In- vestors Service "but those seasoned obligations and the new debentures were upgraded to the prime ranking by that major credit service" and an official of Moody's said the action was taken in view of the province's "sound Treasurer of Ontario and Minister of Economics and Intergovernmental Affairs financial condition, its well-managed debt and its enviable sources of relatively inexpensive hydro-electric power." In addition, the province retains the AA rating of Standard & Poor. "I suppose I should make self-effacing comments about this," said Ontario Treasurer John White, "but we are really proud of this designation by this independent and highly- regarded New York agency." Mr. White noted that the federal government is the only foreign borrower with a Triple-A rating "and this is, to some extent, sym- bolic because Ottawa is not borrowing abroad at this time." Earlier in 1974 the province marketed $125 million in debentures. The Treasurer pointed out that the increased size of this issue -- an additional $50 million -- bas become possible "due to the general recognition of the underlying economic strength of the province and its strong financial position." Morley Watson. twice had to move. tured utility system there'll still be work for everyone. Al I can say is here we go again," Mr. Watson said as he leaned back in his office chair, his hands cupped behind his head. "I like Bowmanville, and I'd like to stay here until I retire. "On the other hand, I'm quite prepared to fit into any new arrangement. I am sure we are all a bit skeptical when it comes to making a change, but we must face these things and not hide our heads in the sand." When the regional Iur'rcipality of Dur- ham was established last January, Bow- manville ceased to exist. It became part of the new town of Newcastle, although the Bowmanville postal district still remains as do the highway signs. But Bowmanville PUC - in its present form - is doomed. The utility, which has 3,600 customers and a staff of 11, will either join forces with Newcastle PUC and Orono in a second-tier utility in the new town of Newcastle or will become part of one regional utility replacing 11 existing municipal utilities and Ontario Hydro's rural system. The effects of regional government have already been fiet throughout Durham's 960 square miles Bowmanville and other utilities which have been respon- sible for water as well as electricity have Coming for Anniversary Concert snow vehicle operator except such damage or injuries suffered by reason of the willful or malicious conduct of such landowner or occupier, and except where a landowner or occupier charges a fee for use of the land for recreational purposes." Legislation has been drafted on the committee's report and will be introduced at the fall session of the legislature. While not acquainted with the provisions Mr. Carruthers is certain that the recommenda- tion will in some form be included in the act. lery's operations both locally- and through travelling exhib- tions is made possible by grants from the Town of Newcastle Library Board and the Ontario Arts Council.

Bowmanville Santa Parade A request for a $500 donation b council toward the Santa C Laus paradein the commun- ity of Bowmanville was dis- cussed. Mayor Rickard felt that it was important to encourage representation from other communities with- in the Town of Newcastle. A proviso was put on the recommendation to council for the donation that the organizers be encouraged to promote the parade as a Town of Newcastle function. Coun. Allin spoke against the dona- tion as he felt that it should be financed by the, people who feel they benefit from it. The vote was three to two with Coun. Wearn and Allin oppos- ed.
