'District PICKERING MAN INVENTS NEW STONE A Pickering man, Wm. M. Hickey, has developed a stone that may well revolutionize the building industry. Mr. Hickey has perfected this stone over a 16 month period at his plant in Ajax and is now using it in build- ing in the area. Mr. Hickey was trying to perfect a cast for mefhorial stones, when he got the idea for his new product, he calls Hickconn, : : The stone is flexible and can be laid on floors, used as siding, on steps, or as store fronts. It comes in seven colours and ranges in thick- ness from % inch to % inch thick. This new stone has been thorough- ly tested by, Ontario Research Lab in Toronto. It has been tested for ab- rasion, 156 years exposed to weather, 136 below without deterioration and 140 above without expanion. It has been proven by test that Hickconn will not crystalize, a fea- ture Mr. Hickey was worried about at one time in his experiments. The stone can be sawed and will not shat- ter when pounded with a hammer. Mr, Hickey has plans for develop- ment and expansion with his stone, and we wish him the best of luck and plenty of success.

Two immigrants in Canada, N. R. Lee and B, C. Larsen, both frbm Den- mark, have taken over the building and once more have revived the tanning industry there, Both have considerable experience in the industry, Mr. Larsen having been in business with his father in Denmark. Several months had to be spent cleaning up the building and some of the machinery that was there, New machinery has also been moved in and more new machinery is now on order. At present they are making samples, in an effort to find out what the mark- et wants, They plan to sell their pro- throughout Canada. ducts on a national basis, When the industry gets into pro- duction in approximately a week's time, they plan to process rugs, mou- tons, shearlings and shearlings in colour, being. capable of both the dressing and dying processes of the industry. First products will be rug skins. and shearlings they said. In addition to selling tanned pro- ducts, the new industry plans also to purchase their raw materials both locally and nationally particularly this fall when the trappers harvest their crop of muskrat and mink and hunters bag deer, fox and other wild animals. Both Mr. Lee and Mr. Larsen are married with families and they also expressed their apprecigtion of the friendliness of the people of Uxbridge and they feel they have chosen a good town for their new home in Canada. TWO FIRMS TO BUILD IN MARKHAM TOWNSHIP Announcement was made at Mark- ham Twp. Council meeting last week of two new industries which are mov- ing into the township and will erect plants. J. Killask Ltd., manufacturers of office furniture and fittings, will construct a plant on the west side of the township on a 6-acre site. The Luilding will contain 44,000 sq. ft. and is estimated. to cost $300,000. The Nordon Building Products, manu- facturers of doors, windows and wood products, will also locate on the west side near the railway. They will build a plant to contain 32,000 sq. ft. They have purchased six acres at $7,000 an acre and will spent $220,000 this year. By 1966 it is estimated that the firm will have spent $760,000, LIQOUR VOTE IN BOWMANVILLE ON SEPTEMBER 80th, has already started to work, revising polling places, lining up personnel, ete. for the, liquor vote which will be held on September 80th, Citizens will cast two ballots on a license for dining and cocktail lounge. To date, there has been no sign of activity among work- ers for either side, but probably the campaign will start in earnest in early September, It will be récalled that last year's vote was thrown out due to irregularities, Returning Officer Robert Reynolde: PICKERING TOWNSHIP GET APPROVAL ON WATER PLANT The Ontario Water Resources Com- mission have approved 'a water infil- tration plant at the foot of Brock Road at an estimated cost of $688,000. This § million gallon capacity plant is one of the main reasons for Pick- ering Township going ahead on Cru- sader Development. Engineer T. 0, Jefferson told Pick: ering Township council that he felt O.W.R.C. approval for 2% million gallon sewage plant at Frenchman's Bay and for a sewage plant at West Rouge would be forthcoming in the J very near future. If -all approvals come through, the long awaited expansion of the south end will likely go ahead iin a hurry, although there is still many formali- ties before construction gets started. Council agreed to have Peto and Associates make soil tests for the water plant at Moore Point. The proposed sewage plant will cost about $700,000. Crusader will con- tribute $360,00 per lot. RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT TO BE TIED TO TOWN'S INDUSTRIAL GROWTH CLAIM LOSS OF $110 ON EACH HOME of Whitby during the years 1969 and 1960 will be limited to two million dollars assessment unless there is a substantial increase in industrial and commercial, assessments, according to a resolution passed by the Whitby Town Council on Tuesday night. The action is looked upon as a determina- tion of policy which has been asked several times by prospective land de- velopers, ' The resolution was passed by a vote of 6-3 after a special meeting lasting five hours had discussed the issue, special reports had been received from an auditing firm and a further dis- sussion last Tuesday night. The resolution which was amended during Tuesday night's meeting said: "WHEREAS the Council of the Town of Whitby wishes to encourage the further residential, commercial, and industrial growth in the Town, and whereas the council is continuing the policy of maintaining a satisfactory ration of residential to non-residential assessment, this Council resolves that during 1969 and 1960 residential as- sessment be allowed to increase by $2,000,000 and that increases beyond this be permitted if thecommercial and industrial assessment increases sub- stantially. ' To The passing of the resolution is looked upon as a partial support of the Whitby Planning Board's policy of a slow-down in residential development. The Board inaugurated such action on its own initiative last fall and this spring reiterated its policy. However the Town Council never formerly ac- cepted the recommendation of the Board. The effect was essentially the same as the planning board refused to authorize any major residential de- velopments, and set the interpretation of major as 26 homes or more. With the increased population of the Town in recent years personal services including education, water, sewer fa- cilities have had to be greatly enlarg- ed. This is expected to result in an increase in the debenture debt of well over a million dollars. To carry this increased debt it will be necessary to increase the mill rate by about seven mills within the next year or two. Pro- viding that present proposed expendi- tures are authorized by the Municipal Board. . The major increase in costs is in- dicated to be in the field of education where it is said the increase in the mill rate will be about 4.6 mills, In a report asked the Town Council, a firm of auditors stated in part: "It is apparent that increased resi- dential property will cause an increase in the tax rate. All other factors be- ing constant, present anticipated capi- tal expenditures will cause an eventual increase in the tax rate of approxi- mately seven mills, TEST DRILLING STARTS FOR NEW WATER SUPPLY NEWCASTLE--According to Reeve Douglas Cunningham the Ontario Water Resources Commission have let the job of test drilling to find a suit- able water supply in the village to Norm Faulkner of Peterborough who said he expected to start drilling in the village the latter part of the week. So, according to this information waterworks for the village is drawing closer and to look at lawns and gar- dens in the village during the past couple of weeks it looks like it is not too soon, to say nothing of the number of tanks of water that are being drawn into town every day to fill up dry wells.

County "Miss Junior Elizabeth Davies an English Farmer from Cordiganshire, Wales, will be visiting in Ontario County from Thursday, August 6th until Thursday, August 13th. Miss Davies is one of four English Junior Farmers now visiting in the Province on an exchange visit of Jr. Farmer delegates between Ontario and Great Britain. Each year a de- legation of four Junior Farmers from the province of Ontario visits Great Britain and Northern Ireland and in return a delegation of English, Scotch and Irish Junior Farmers visit in Ont. This exchange of Junior 'Farmer delegates is sponsored jointly by the Junior Farmers' Association of Ont, the Department of Agriculture and the Great Britain and Northern Ire- land Departments of Agriculture. During her stay in Ontario County Miss Davies will be visiting at the homes of Miss Eleanor Mountjoy, Oshawa, R, 2 and Miss Carol Lamb, Cannington, R, 2, LOCAL CELEBRATIONS PASSING FROM PICTURE Times are changing whether we like it or not -- and they're changing our way of living even in the small towns. How long is it since Stouffville provid- ed any type of celebration or field day in the town park on a mid-summer holiday? It's been quite a few years, you will find on checking back. Biggest factor to this change has been, of course, the motor car and the urge it has given people to travel. Along with the automobile has been the fact that the public can now take in the biggest and finest entertain- ments miles from home, and cannot become interested in small town pro- grams. In short, it takes much more to entertain us now than once was the case. We recall with pleasure summers of fifteen to twenty-five years ago when May 24th, July 1st and Civic Holiday, always saw a baseball tournament, a street dance, or entertainment of similar nature going on in our park. Attendance was good, and such events were looked forward to with enthus- iasm by the local citizens and the farming community around, Today, few organizations would venture to or- ganize such events for fear of drawing only a handful of stay-at-homers. Today's population is constantly on wheels, running hither and thither seeking to be entertained. I asked you--is it any improvement? --Stouffville Tribune Sz WV S72 Electrically! LINDSAY APPLIES FOR ANNEXATION LINDSAY---Town council unanimously voted to apply to the Ontario Muni- cipal Board for annexation of more than 3,000 acres of Jand around the present town limits, The proposed arinexation would double the present size of Lindsay. The area contains a parcel of .land owned by a Toronto investment corporation which has been reported planning a $6,000,000 housing development. HUNDRED OF PHEASANTS FOR LINDSAY AND DISTRICT Six thousand chicks, 600 poulets and 360 adult pheasants were released in the regulated townships of Clarke and the recent annual allocation of quotas and distribution of pheasants from the provincial game bird farm, at Cod- rington. This is announced in the current department of lands and forests, was completed last Monday, with districts. Darlington in Durham county during weekly report of the Lindsay of the The 19569 project began June 3 and Total production at the farm was in the neighbourhood of 36,000 pheasants approximately 21,000 chicks, 12,600 pults and 600 adults being dis- tributed and released in the Lindsay, Huron, Simcoe, Tweed and Rideau EDITORIAL -- A GOOD IDEA It was recommended to Pickering Township council this last week that a committee be set up to study licens- ing certain trades within the town- ships. We feel that this is a good idea for the protection of the rate- payers, If you have to call a tradesman to make some repairs or adjustments in your home, it is consoling to know that the man is qualified to do the job. Most of them are qualified at charg- ing. People do not mind paying for a job done. but too often we hear the complaint of someone, who after paying out a large repair bill, finds in no time at all the repair work lasted only a short time, or was not done right at all. . We understand that most of our neighbours now have regulations, whereby electricians and plumbers to name only two, must have a license. This license insures the homeowner that the man is qualified to do the job. In a growing area such as this, re- sidents are going to be faced with! "fly-by-nighters" who will want to point chimneys, clean the bricks on your home, and many other jobs. Many of these men are not qualified. It is after you have paid them your money, and they have left, that you find you have been cheated. | We realize that tradesman do not wont to pay out any more money than they have to, but it if they can pro- duce a document or ecard that proves Clipped Comments they are qualified in their trade, we are sure it will help them, the cus- tomer and be to the advantage of all concerned. --Pickering News Conservative Summer Rally The fourth annual summer rally of Ontario County Conservatives will be held in Greenwood Park, five miles west of Brooklin on No. 7 Highway on Saturday, August 16th.
