AJAX FIREFIGHTERS BATTLE STUBBORN GRASS FIRE Ajax Volunteer Firefighters are pictured above attacking one of three grass fires that swept through the southern grassiand section for over hours Monday morning. Bulld- ings on the premises of Fibre- weld and Kitchen Installations Limited were threatened by the sweeping fire until fire- fighters went to work with their corn brooms. In addition to the grass fires, some of the men were called to a small fire caused by a faulty wash- BOWMANVILLE (Staff)) -- A political spark ignited at town council Monday night when a bylaw to approve the servicing of a proposed industrial area adjacent to Highway 401 with sanitary sewers and watermains came up for a third reading. The Ontario Municipal Board recently gave approval to the project which also included a bridge over Soper Creek. Cost of such a project to the town would approximately be $62,000. Councillor Kenneth Hooper dealt the bylaw a blow when he moved an amendment to the by- law that such services be sup- plied only if a firm committ- ment is given from industry, and that it be submitted to the OMB for approval. USING EXCUSES "It's alright for somebody to say this is what we need to at- tract industry," said Mr. Hoop- ing machine motor at 2 Wind- sor street, Chief Cecil Winter said that at least one of the grass fires was set off by careless trash burners. --Oshawa Times Photo UN Planes Labelled Flying Death Traps BOWMANVILLE (Staff) -- Most of the United Nation's planes are "'worn out flying death traps', the assistant na- tional commissioner of the Ca- madian Red Cross Society charged here Monday night. Reuben C. Baetz, speaking to the Bowmanville Kiwanis Club suggested that former U.N. Secretary - General Dag Ham- marskjold's plane did not crash accidentally. Mr. Baetz was at the Leopold| Airport when the DC7 carrying the 15 bodies, including Mr. Hammarskjold landed in the Congo. 'As we stood there in the si- lence with some three thousand U.N. troops and civilians," he said, 'looking upon the plane in which rested the broken body of Mr. Hammarskjold, almost dumbfounded, the full impact of; the tragedy pressed in on me." Talking about trouble in the Congo, Mr. Baetz said that so far the cold war between world communism and the democratic countries had not touched the Congolese villages. "These people are more inter- ested in where their next banana is coming from than in any Marxist or capitalistic prom- ises," he said. : The speaker related the story of how the Congolese were given the task overnight to gov- ern and direct their country after the Belgians' sudden with- jdrawal. This was two years ago. | "More than 10,000 senior gov- jernment offices were vacated by the. Belgian authorities," said Mr. Baetz, "highly trained technicians and executives in commerce and industry 'packed it up'." who moved into a white mission- ary's home after the Canadian's sudden departure for his home in Western Canada. Everything in the house had} been decorated African style with the exception of a life-size Diefenbaker.

DETROIT (AP)--Auto sales and production, now booming in the United States, are showing ja healthy increase in Canada this year, too. Production figures through last week show the five Cana- dian subsidiaries of United States companies have built 25 per cent more cars so far than they did a year ago. Truck pro- duction is up 10 per cent. General Motors recently added 13,000 units to its 1962 }model schedule at its Oshawa plant and added a sixth day to its weekly working schedules for its Windsor engine plant. American Motors is working two shifts daily at its new Brampton plant and has an- nounced plans to add another 100 hourly workers. Ford of Canada is recalling some work- ers in Windsor who have been laid off for nearly two years. |And Studebaker estimates its 1962 model run will be 40 to 45 per cent greater than a year ago, Chrysler alone is trailing its year-ago performance, mainly because of an extended strike which started Feb. 18. Agree- ment in the dispute was reachd early Monday. Passnger the United States through Sat- urday stood at 2,056,261 units, or 47.5 per cent ahead of this date a year ago. Truck produc- tion, running 14 per cent over 1961, has reached 358,103 units. | | car production in) native pastor if he knew whose Picture it was? "No", was the reply.

"By continuing to help through our government and the U.N.; churches through their foreign missions; and through voluntary associations such as the Red Cross," said Mr. Baetz. Bowmanville Police Get Economy Car BOWMANVILLE (Staff) -- Town council gave approval Monday night to an expenditure of $1201.36 for the police de- partment's new "economy cruiser." The new compact car was urchased from Ray Gibbs otor Sales, Bowmanville.

That would be gam- bling the taxpayer's money away," Coming to the defence of the original bylaw, Councillor Glen- holme Hughes said that since 1956, 37 industries moved into adjacent towns, and 36 of them were attracted to sites that were already serviced with sewers and watermains. "This amendment will mean that we'll have to wait for an- other five years," he said. Councillor Jack Brough shar- ed Mr. Hughes' point of view and added that he thought council was taking "a backward step". But Councillor Wesley Fice took a different attitude. He thought the matter should have gone to the people. "T haven't talked to one tax- lack of harbor facilities. HARBOR TO COME ably have a harbor.
