. Bowmanville Goodyear Plant Now Has: 425 Employees; Great Increase In Production 3 K Purchased and Install ed to Take Care of Requirements --Rapid/ Expansion and a Continued Growth is Anti- cipated gion By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, Sept. 19--Employ- ing over 425 men, an increase over last year of 75, and with a greater production than in 1926, the Goed- year Rubber Company of Canada is not only Bowmanville's leading in- dustry, but also one of the out- standing manufacturing eoncerns in the Lake Shore Distriet, The com- pany is at the present time buying much new machinery and is making alterations to accommodate more. An additional new six deck mat press has been ordered for curing rubber running beard mats for the new metor carg produced by the Gen- eral Motors of Canada, Ltd., at Osh- awa, The new design for these mats "was drawn by General Motors, but it remained for the staff of the Goodyear Rubber Company to sur- mount several difficulties which were in the way, The staff of chemists made many different tests before se- curing the high grade mat demand- ed by the high standards of Good- year products, and to conform with similar rigid requirements in manufactuer always maintained by the General Motors of Canada, Lim- ited, at their Oshawa plant. For a number of years Goodyear has manufactured corrugated mat- ting and packing, but during the last two years considerable branch- ing out in this field has heen done, They also make a lapge 'mumber of perforated mats sueh as are used in lobbies of hotels and theatres, Goodyear has made all the rubber mats 'used by General Motors on both runping hoards and foot boards, for the past year or more, The press making these foot hoard" mats operates 11 months in the year, 24 hours every day except Sun- day, and turns out six mats every eight minutes. Two other large presses are being bought to take care of the runming board mat pre- duction, Largest Belt Press In Canada, The biggest belt press in Canada is now in operation "at the Good- year plant, having heen recently bought, It is a double 36 foot length, and. forty inches in width.

A »pe- cial machine was hought some time ago, to fill the demands of 'he Gen- eral Motors Company, and other machines contribute to the makius of belts for Chrysler and Ford cars. These belts are given very severe ser vice tests in development lab- oratory, where the length of life of the belt in ordinary Lard service, is eseertained in a few weeks In th's manner too, new ways of construet- ing the belt are found out, and the the NEW MART Starting Monday -- 'Attraction Extra-ordinary!

Garden hose is made in 500 feet length,, ,and is composed of cotten woven twice about a rubber tube, and imbedded firmly between two rubber walls by the curing process, Among other kinds of hose sare, wire wound hose for use in manufacturing plants, pneumatie tool hose, beer tubing for syphoning, gasoline hose, and radiator hose, , Al the pneuma'ic tires are made im the Goodyear plant at Nes Toron- to, but the Bowmanville Company manufactures all the solid truck tises,, ,which range in size irom three inches wide and having an in- side rim diameter of six inches to those having a width of fourteen inches, an inside diameter of 40 in- ches, and weighng 520 pounds each. Three new machines have been pur- chased to improve the quality of the workmanship in building these tires. The value of the Goodyear pant to Bowmanville and the community in ganeral lies, not only in the large sum of money paid ouy in wages, but in the fact that the la- bor demand does not fluctuate to any great extent, Tha factory is not being rushed ome month and requir- ing etxra labor, only to lay off men the next, but keeps a t®:ady pace the year round. ---- News oft Eastern Ontario CORNER-STONE LAID, Another gpoch in the religious life of the ey of Westwood was marked Thursday by the laying of the ecornep stone of a Preshyte- rian Church the cross roads near Westwood, Reterboro', The pastor,, Rev.
