AS A YOUTHFUL prank, some 62 years ago, Frank J. Prouse, 75, seen here, and some companions on whose farm this Mountain Ash tree was located, twist- ed the tree limbs like a pretzel. The tree has re- mained in this off shape over six decades. Mr. Prouse, a former prominent building contractor, has been Pickering Township building inspector for a number of years. The tree is' on the property now owned by Ontario Hydro for the Pickering nuclear power plant. --Ontario Hydro Photo Preserve Twisted Tree On Nuclear Power Site PICKERING -- Twisted to resemble a huge pretzel, a mountain ash tree at the corner of Brock rd. and Montgomery rd, in Pickering Township, has been the object of curiosity for many years.

Mr. Prouse recalled that the WHITBY (Staff) -- Whitby's mushrooming growth and ex- pansion will soon receive a definite shot in the arm it was announced this week. The town council gave a 'green light' to the Ontario Hydro - Electric Power Commission for installa- tion of a 44 KV. wood pole transmission line on the north side of Highway 401, east. of town. The new power line, hotly contested by Reeve Everett Quantrill, will be extended east- erly from the Thornton rd. Transformer Station in Oshawa, a distance of approximately three miles. When complete the power line will provide im- lproved hydro electric service for the community in the south- eastern portion of the town where it is hoped industrial development will occur. | Through installation of the new line, the community will receive the benefit of a third back-up power supply. This move is suggested as in. tune with future plans for the widen- {Whitby Council Approves New Transmission Line of the north service road, eve Everett Quantrill op- posed the decision to allow easement over town-owned property on the basis the in- stallation would present a dis- figuring aspect of the local scene, The reeve recommended installation of the line via under- ground cable, "This is prime industrial land," Mr. Quantrill said, "it will be spoiled by the wiring going above ground. I was op- posed to this at the beginning and still disagree with this thing," he added. In support of the council's decision, Councillor George Bevan stated it would be eco- nomically impossible for the in- stallation to be placed below ground. He said the power line was too heavy for such action. Work on the project is ex- pected to commence within a few weeks, an official of the Ontario Hydro-Electric Regional! Office in Oshawa stated.

It even has been painted on canvass by artists and photographed many times. But only one veteran could be found who knew the story behind the grotesquely twisted tree. He is Frank J.

Some 62 years ago, he and the sons of the late Tom Marquis, on whose farm the jropes. wound up and twisted like a ades. Pickering Township offi- cials indicated at first that they might desire to remove and preserve the tree by replanting it on township property.

The brakes jam tight from the driver's panic pressure on the pedol, effective steering control te@avoid the collision is lost and the car skids out of control until it comes to a stop, perhaps in the opposite traffic lane. A rotating wheel retarded by brake action exposes cool new tread surfaces and avoids the melting temperature reoched by molten rubber as the tire literally 'lubricates the skid on the pavement. Fun ce~ TA | The answer to this Muman problem of 'car safety is being found in devices now being developed by the automobile in+ dustry which "'remember" to pump the brakes when the driver forgets. They ore refinements of devices in use for years on jet aircraft, The mechanism is activated only when full pedal pressure is epplied and doesn't alter braking action for normal stops, The pumping action, which takes over from the driver, storts only when wheel revolutions indicate @ brake "'lock-up"' situ- ation. One device now beirtg marketed has been field tested exten- sively and is adaptable to most cars made since 1955, It senses unbalanced braking and prevents individual wheel lock-up where only one wheel is on a slippery surface, In- stallation is simplified cost is low and the unit is given a life expectancy of up to 250,000 miles, To keep your car in top Operating condition bring it in reqularly to Northside's Ser- vice Department.
