District to Spend $15,000 to Attract New Industry The announcement that the Lake Ontario Development Association plans to spend approximately $15,000 on promoting new industry and the tourist business, exclusive of office and administrative costs, this year, was among the many points discussed at the Directors meeting, July 18, at Peterborough. Reeve L.. W. McKenzie of Omemee, chairman of the tourist committee, in expressing the opinion that the tour- ist business is one of the most im- portant and largest industries in the area, stated that it must be maintained and, if possible, increased. A budget of $5,000, to this committee, will be used to provide attendance to two Sportsmen Show -- a long standing point of controversy with the directors --including $1,000 to be spent on news- paper advertising in Western Ontario, as well as, the key cities of Michigan, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania, The possibility of having view master reels made which could be sold throughout Canada and the States on. historical sites and tourist points of interest in the Region, is to be investi- gated by the directors, An office will now be maintained for the president, Alderman. W. Gordon Powell, of Peterborough at the L.O. D.A. quarters, to afford a closer con- tact to various zone chairman and ad- ministrative proQlems. A recommendation by A. Soper, president of the Hastings Chamber of Commerce, regarding the game: and fisheries act of 1956 which does not allow fishing of pickerel other than from an anchored boat with live bait and casting from shore till the First of July, was made requesting that this clause be deleted from the act. The law, as it stands now, apparently does not include the rest of the Province and, as a result, deprives this Region of a fair amount of revenue in the months of May and June, A recom- mendation is to be forwarded to the Department of Lands and Forests re- questing this clause be deleted. A recommendation that the Muni- cipal Act be amended to allow muni- cipalities to assist financially certain types of industry in the construction of manufacturing buildings, is to be studied. Membership fees. fron: municipali- ties are close to the $10,000 mark. Port Perry is a member of this as- sociation, joining late this spring. District Churches - The Church services on the Scugog- Manchester Pastoral Charge were well attended last Sunday. We certainly appreciate the fact that many fron the Head are attending Grace United Church. The Choir has made a won- derful contribution, especially when s0 many of our choirs disband for the Summer months, All four sections were well represented, and they sang "Glory For Me", The Island has been experiencing a series of "pla- gues" but we were glad to see the faces who have recovered, for example Linda Fralick and Bobby Edgar. We hope soon to have little Grace Pogue, who has undergone quite an operation, to be with us again. We haven't beep able to fill those last three benches yet but maybe, we will make it this Sun- day. The attendance at Prospect was good. It creates such a fine atmos- phere to see the whole family pre- sent. For that is what we are aiming at, to restore again in our Churches, the family pew. At Manchester in the evening, Harvey Dobson sang "It is No Secret" and "If 1 Have Wounded Anyone". Next Sunday evening Mrs. Hunter will have charge of the music, and we invite all to come. The theme of the sermon will be--"Co-operating with the inevitable." We are also holding services at 3.00 p.m. in the schoolhouse at the Foot. The%attend- ance was. lgyger than. the previous Sunday, but-we still have many seats that could be occupied. 3 Our mifisfer will be away on holi- days but will return for the next two Sundays for the services." Grace choir has been asked to sing over the air on Sunday evening of August 12. We are asking Manchester to worship that ! Sunday with Prospect at 11.16 a.m. Cars will be at the Manchester Church at 11.00 a.m. for those who may not have transportation. And for the last two Sundays in Aug., the 19th and 26th, our Session has secured Rev. Mr. Wallace. Should any need arise whereby the presence of the minister is required, his address will he Dwight P.O, Muskoka. ' Remember the Services on Sunday: Grace at 10.00 a.m.; Prospect 11.15 a.m.; Schoolhouse 3.00 p.m. and Man- chester at 7.30 p.m. Lo] Ryerson Offers Excellent Courses In Journalism Four '$100 entrance scholarships for Practical Journalism and Printing Management courses at The Ryerson Institute of Technology, Toronto, were announced recently. Edward U. Sch- rader, director of the two courses, said they were being offered to encourage high school graduates to consider these two professions as careers. There is a shortage of trained personnel in (both spheres, Many Ryerson Journalism and Printing graduates have gone into the weekly newspaper field. Werden Leavens, secretary manager of the Ontario Weekly Newspapers Associa- tion, lauded the close co-operation be- tween the school and weekly editors, Last March, Ryerson Journalism stu- dents conducted a door-to-door survey of a weekly paper as part of their training to determine how thoroughly weeklips are read. The students dis- covered almost cover-to-cover reader- ship. My. Schrader said there were four excellent job opportunities, with ex- cellent salaries, for each student who graduated from these two courses last May. The only method for solving the shortage, he pointed out, is to at- tract more students into these careers. Practical Journalism students study techniques used in writing and editing for daily and weekly newspapers, publicity offices, and radio and TV news rooms. The Printing Manage- ment graduates go into such positions as estimators, assistants to superin- tendents, production controllers and purchasing agents. Entrance requirement for Journal- ism is five Grade 138 papers and Print- ing Management students require their Grade 12. Competition for the entrance scholarships will be held after Ryerson resumes Sept. 17. Ex- aminations will be based on. high school work. Oshawa Flower Show, Aug. 25th , With the summer growing season for flowers and vegetables now well advanced, members of the Oshawa Horticultural Society are looking for- ward to the annual general flower and vegetable show, which is scheduled to be held in the E. A. Lovell School auditorium on Saturday, August 26th. This is the big show of the year for the society, with 69 classes for flowers and vegetables in the open section, 10 classes in the novice section and 13 classes in the juvenile section. There are also trophies for the highest num- ber of prize points won by individual competitors in"each of the three sec- tions, | Particular attention is called to the novice classes, which give new mem- bers of the society the opportunity of competing without having to show in connection with experienced exhibitors. These classes are open to those who have never before éxhibited in a show, and directors of the society are hoping that, with a large number of new members this year, there will be many exhibitors in the novice section. Members of the society are also re- minded of the garden photography competition which will be held at the September meeting, on September 10, with clagses for colored slides, colored prints and black and white prints, The summer season affords abundant op- E. P. Taylor Buys McLaughlin Site E. P. Taylor, prominent Canadian Industrialist, has purchased the 438- acre George McLaughlin farm a mile and a half north of the Oshawa city limits. George McLaughlin, former owner of Elmeroft farm, disclosed the sale yesterday. He said the deal was put through July 4. He declined to name the purchase price. Sale of the farm to E. P. Taylor will not affect plans by Brentwood Acres Associates, Toronto, to construct a housing development on the property. Brentwood, represented by the legal firm of Linden and Gordon, Toronto, have an option to buy the farm at a stated purchase price, also unknown. This option to buy expires in about ten months. The only change made by the sale, Mr. McLaughlin said, is that Brent- wood are now dealing with E. P. Tay- lor, rather than himself. H. D. Linden, of Linden and Gordon, have been negotiating with the Osha- wa Public Utilities for water services to the proposed sub division, and with the East Whitby Township Council for approval of the plan for the last few months. The subdivision is still in the early planning stages, with very little fin- alized. 3 Commenting on the sale of his farm to E. P. Taylor, George McLaughlin said the Taylor offer was nearly as high as the price that Brentwood Acres said they would pay under the option agreement, 4 "But there was a chance that Brent- wood would not pick up the option, and the Taylor offer had other con- ditions which suited mé better than the Brentwood offer. "Anyway, I wanted to get the deal finalized, because I was unable to farm intelligently, not knowing how long my farm was going to remain as a farm. If Brentwood do not pick up their: ° option and buy the farm from E. P. Taylor, then McLaughlin will have 2 years from the July sale date to vacate, . No representative of E. P. Taylor was available for comment" at press time. ) TTT Whithy Nurse oh Injured in Collision A Whitby nurse, Margaret Stubbs, 33, of Ontario Hospital Staff was tak- en to the Port Perry Hospital on Sat. night when her car was in collision with a bus north of Greenbank.
