industries although history records that alter its beginning Tobacco plantations are prevalent in the area Some 35 or 40 years ago the City Dairy Company of To ronto had dairy form there with large herd of milk cows in big stable and shipped whole milk daily to Toronto from New Lowell station However as truck routes grew and farmers started ship ping milk the dairy found it more practical to buy milk from the farmers than to attempt to compete in the production of it on their own land The big farm was sold and is now pro ducing tobacco on large scale The fields have been fenced with evergreen trees and Diet part of the big born that was not torn down is new con verted to other uses Tohacco farms with their drying kilns are all along the the settlement had one shortly road and scattered between these arethe farms of dairy cattle All land is not suitable for tobacco and when it is not then it remains farm land and dairy cattle predominate Hay is in abundance and it would be safe to say that more than million bales are still lying in the fields We asked about some of the older people in the New Lowell area and were told ofsome whom Mrs Paddison knew to he still enjoying good

TSCIIIRHART city police chief No think that 60 miles per hour is sufficient If the speed limit wer increas ed to 70 miles per hou it would be necessary to drive up to 75 or 80 to pass person driving at so Accidents result in such terrible damage because of the momentum and impact in creased speed would increase the force of impact and the damage MISS MOLLY BROWN chil drens librarian think 50 is plenty fast enough The faster you drive the less control you will have dont care who you are thereare always those who are going to drive in excess of the set limit Increase the speed to 100 and they will drive at 105 can appreciate the fascination speed has for some people although dont drive myselfi Lets not have speed at the expense of safety WALTER wars track drlvh er No matter what the limit is some people will go one it dont think that increasingly the limit to 70 would have much etfect on the accidents Accl denls result more from care lessness than speed Once you are over 55 you havent much control over the car It hang up at 70 wouldnt be much fcrcnt than bongup at 60 Make it 70 and enforce it an Army captain As soon ash3i the speed limit is increased to 70 people will go as far beyond this speed as they go beyond the present so They will drive at so and perhaps 90 Most accidents are caused by con gestion You will see people poking along below the present limit and others impatientiy trying to pass them increase the limit to 70 and people will still want to pass others ers warehouse liquor lounge licences and dining lounge iilt cences RETIRES AS GM Harold Walton
