MOST APPARENT TO THE General public of all the work done by the Whitby Public Utilities Commission is the Major Expansion For Whitby PUC At the conclusion of 1961, members of the Whitby Public Utilities Commission look back on a year which saw consider- able expansion of their building facilities, the largest since 1948. Included in their building and expansion program, were re- construction of the PUC build- ing opened in 1949; purchase of a three-lot site on Mary street, and the construction of a new warehouse on that site. | Completed first was the pur-| chase of the site on Mary street east. The lot, formerly owned by the town of Whitby, was the headquarters for the town works department where all equipment was stored in a quonset type building. With the purchase, the PUC \was able to move trucks and other gear from the PUC build- ing at Brock and Colborne street and thus pave the way for renovation of the garage and|equipment, the fluoridation gear warehouse there. The renovation of the build- ing, the first work done on it since it was opened in 1949, in-| cluded both garage and ware- house and quadrupled the office space which was avail- able earlier. Included in the re- construction was a_ panelled board room, which, in fact, was the first board room for the PUC. Prior to this project, the commissioners met in the gen- eral manager's office. The project cost about $27,000 and has provided the PUC with) office accommodation which will| be suitable for many years. Next step was the building of a new warehouse. This is now in the process of construction and will shortly be ready for use' It is of transitop construc- tion and looks not unlike the new town hall. It is being built to the south of the existing quon- set hut which is used as a ga-| rage. Work on the $25,000 job has come to a halt pending settle- ment of a steel strike in To- ronto. The 40-foot by 80-foot building will be heated by elec-) tricity and will be the largest building in Whitby to be heated. There will be warehouse space and an office for the foreman as well as a lunchroom for the employees. ELECTRIC PROGRAM This year will see the com- pletion of a five-year plan to rebuild all the power lines in | the town. This was a project which began shortly after Hur- ricane Hazel tore down most of Bhved _town's existing electrical services. Some 80 new mercury vapor lights made their appearance on the town's streets this year, notably on Brock and Dundas complete revamping of the business office at Brock and Colborne streets. Prior to re- construction, the building housed not only the office but also the garage and ware- house. board room Shown above is a view of the main office. In Following the work, | the photo, left to right, along the entire building was taken over by the office staff and with an unidentified customer and some of the office staff, ANOTHER MAJOR under- taking by the Whitby PUC this year is the construction of a new warehouse and office on Mary street east. The new building, shown above, is in front of the quonset hut for- merly owned by the town works department, bears some similarity to the new town hall but in fact is of a com- pletely different construction. It will be the largest building in the town to be heated by electricity.

New vapor lights were also installed on Henry and Anderson streets, in the area of the two high schools, Electrically, the big drive in 1962, says PUC Manager Harry Simpson, will be a campaign to sell electric heating units for the hard to heat places in the home, the basement, the recreation or play rooms, etc. This campaign will begin late in January. The PUC is not yet pushing electric heating of homes but is equipped to provide such service in any new subdivisions that might come into town in 1962. On the waterworks side of the ledger, the other service pro- vided by the PUC, a new water main was completed on Green street and a tie-in was made on the service on Henry street from Dundas to St. John street. As soon as the town buys will be installed in the old water' filter plant. The fluoride will be added to the water after filtra- tion. Manager Simpson says that projects completed to date have readied the town for any ex- pansion that could be expected in the coming year. Week Of Prayer Starts Jan. 3 The Annual Week of Prayer service sponsored by the Whitby Ministerial Association is sched- uled to be held on Wednesday night, Jan. 3, 1962, at 8.00 p.m. (a week earlier than the cus- tomary date) in the Hebron Christian Reformed Church, lo- cated one block north and one |block west of the Junction of |No. 2 Highway and Thickson road. The Rev. G. Rezelman_ will |preside and the Rev. J.

Several members of the Mohawks were seen gazing at the astonishing result prior to the start of the middle session bearing looks of amazement and probably thinking, "Gee, maybe these Marlboros can beat us at home." (Which they did, thanks to that insurmountable first period marg- in). Whitby looked entirely different in their play for the remaining two periods, but forty minutes wasn't enough to overcome a four-goal deficit. The 1100 paying customers received affluent dividends from their investment in the second and third frames when action was at it's best. And from the huge throng's viewpoint, the favorites showed alright, excluding the nightmarish opening twenty minutes, when they resembled the Whitby Mohawks of a few weeks back on occasion. Undoubtedly several people at Tuesday's encounter were looking on at the Mo- hawks for, the first time, and will probably be back again in the near future after witnessing the pleasing brand of hockey on parade. Toronto Marlboros put up their best effort of the season, bringing with them a more impressive roster than on two previous nights. Only two regulars were absent, Denis Mercier and Braden Housten -- but their absence made little or no difference to the baby Leafs. MOHAWKS VICTIMS OF POWER PLAY Both clubs bodychecked ferociously at times, and tempers flared periodically, especially in the third period, when Bob Wright and Gary Milroy tangled at centre. They had been heckling each other all night, and there was bound to be an explosion. Another near fight took place when Gary Jarrett, the game's number one performer, bumped into George Ashby. Before you could say Robinson Crusoe, Ashby flung his stick and gloves to the ice, ready to flail into Jarrett, but he took off like a locomotive in pursuit of a Whitby puck carrier. I don't think he left be- cause of fright after seeing him and Wright embrace last Sunday afternoon. One of Turk Broda's crew's traits is their ability to score while enjoying a man advantage. They did so twice in the first period Tuesday. On the other hand it is one of Whitby's weaker points. They allowed the Marlies too much freedom -- and with players like Jarrett, Brian Conacher, Gary Milroy, Arnie Brown -and Frank Ridley opposing you as their power play, you just can't leave them alone for an instant. Whitby took only eight penalties to Toronto's 14, and still man- aged only one goal, Late in the first period, Marl- boros took three successive penalties in a space of one minute. Even with this two-man advantage for 1:37 Whitby failed to register. TOWN AND COUNTRY ... Tonight the Mohawks travel to Brampton for a tilt with the vastly improved Seven-Ups, who if victorious tonight will draw even with the fourth place Unionville Seaforths. Whitby need a win to subtract from the six point bulge be- tween them and the second place Marlboros ... Also on tap tonight is Lakeshore Intermediate hockey at Bowmanville where the Shamrocks host the Uxbridge Black Hawks. . . . . The Kingston Frontenacs finally reached the coveted spot atop the Eastern Pro standings after whipping the Kitchener-Waterloo Beavers 6-3 right in K-W on Boxing Day afternoon, If the Frontenacs can gain some assistance from the Soo and Sudbury on Thursday and Friday when they host the Beavers, they can skate onto Kingston ice before their fine supporters wearing the league crown. Should this happen, Kingston will then have three important games in hand over Kitchener.... Action gets underway at 8:15 p.m. _ Old Hungarian Families Join WINDSOR (CP)--A marriage involving two of Hungary's old- est families will be performed here Saturday.

Mrs. Killans introduced the president of the Women's Insti- tute, Mrs. Stella McLean, and Mrs. Frank Roberts, past presi- dent and also life member of the Institute, and convener of the Christmas party. After a few words from Mrs. Roberts, she introduced Mrs. Connelly who then took over with her dancing class of girls and for the next hour all mem- bers were entertained by the wonderful performance put on by the girls with ballet, Scottish reels, can can and many other dances, to the delight of all in the auditorium. The costumes were beautiful, and Mrs, Connelly and her girls deserve a great deal of credit for the grand program given for the elder folk. Major Simpson of the Salva- tion Army, brought a very in- teresting Christmas message, after which Mrs. Viola Burge sang several beautiful Christmas carols accompanied by. Mrs. Alma Dewey at the piano. Santa Claus entered and each patient was given a bag of candy, apples and oranges and a can of talcum powder, all donated by the Women's Insti- tute. Many thanks go to Mrs. Roberts and her entertainers for a lovely afternoon's enjoyment. Vesper Service For Brooklin C.G.LT.'s By MRS.
