NIGHT Rotarians Are Shown Offset Lithographing Stewart Alger Host to Local Businessmen and Shows Them Operations In Whitby Plant An extremely interesting explan- ation and demonstration of offset lithographing was given to mem- bers of the Whitby Rotary Club, the Town Council, Chamber of Com=- merce, Board of Education, Kins- men Olub and P.U.C, when Tues- day's meeting of the Rotarians was held In the Whitby plant of the Alger Press, All present at the luncheon meeting were guests of Btewart Alger, president of the firm, who explained that he had been looking forward to such a visit for several years, The guest of honor at the head table was George James, publisher of the Bowmanville Statesman, who was celebrating 18 years of perfect attendance at Rotary, The highlight, atter the luncheon, of the program was the four of the lithographing plant, where the in- terested Whitbyites saw how color printing was done, First they webe shown the artist's drawing of an advertising poster, then how a photograph is taken of the poster and trimmed by layout men. The image on the negative is then transferred to a press plate of sensitized metal, from which the actual printing is done in the presses, For color work the cardinal colors and black are used, and the various shades are obtained by the combin- ations of these colors in the presses. Each 'different color requires a sep- arate press plate, and the shades are obtained by the overlapping ef sections on the different plates. This: process is also used for printing books requiring many photographs and diagrams, and during the war the Alger Press printed instructional pamphlets and books for the armed forces, Looks Like House In welcoming his guests Mr, Alger explained that war work had made it impossible to Invite them previ ously and again thanked the muni cipal authoritid¥ for their assistance when he opened the Whitby plant eight years ago. Incidentally the lant looks less like a factory than ike a beautiful home, which it was originally, set on a vast expanse of well kept lawns on the north side of Dundas Street East, A noon hour downpour threaten- ed to disrupt the luncheon as tables had been placed on the lawn, How= ever a hasty reorganization moved the tables inside and the Rotar- fans and visitors sat down to a splendid meal prepared and served by the Woman's Auxiliary of Whit- by United Church, For their efforts the ladies received the thanks of Mr, Alger, Fred T. Rowe, and Ar- thur Archibald, President of the Whitby club, as well as of all those present, Flowers were presented to Mrs. Harold Boys for all the ladies. Among the guests at the lunch were Orme Gansby, of Orono, Wil- NOTICE OF POSTING VOTERS' LIST Notice is hereby given that I have posted up at my office at the Town of Whitby, on the 14th day of August, 1946, the list of all persons entitled to vote on Money By-laws at an Election to be held on Saturday, September 14th, 1946, and I hereby call upon all persons entitled so to do to have any errors or omissions corrected according to law, the last day for appeals being the 31st day of August, 1948.

Commissioners Con- cerned Over Delays Caused By Shortage of Sewer Pipe -- Can't Be Obtained--Two New In- dustries Affected The éxtreme shortage of sewer and water pipe was the main sub- Ject of discussion at Tuesday night's meeting of the Public Utility Coms= mission, as the commissioners ex- pressed concern about the effect that this shortage would have on the local building program. Said Commissioner Fred T. Rowe, "soon we'll. have two industries held up by the sewer shortage, not to men« tion the houses." Superihtendent H, L. Pringle ex- plained that he had tried y possible source, and had order since February, with no luck. A phone call to the main Toronto manufacturer of tile pipe brought the Commission the reply that there wasn't any available, and that every attempt was being made tO increase the upp. Priorities and Coal Shortage The manyjacturer explained that most of the pipe was taken by pri- ority building, wartime housing and veterans' housing, and that the lack of coal was handicapping produc tion, as the kilns require large quantities of soft coal, Mr, Pringle announced that work had started on Tuesday for the sewering of the new factory on Brock Street North, and explained that this was being done with six inch concrete pipe, all that could be obtained. This pipe is being made by the county and some has been purchased by the town, but the commissioners examined it, and Getting More Serious feel that it is at best only a make "APPLIANCES even plumbing in bulldings, I mean," Councillor W. B, Noble de- clared in introducing the subject. | While some members of council were of the opinion that inspection of such installations was already re- quired, Councillor Noble said that it was his information that it was | necessary for a complaint to be laid and then the health authorities would take action, The council was unanimous in the opinion also that the municipality should have full control over peo- ple emptying sanitary sewage into storm sewers and various of the members deplored the type of plumbing which they said existed i numerous instances in the towne ship, Instructions were given for a by- law to be prepared controlling the installation of sceptic tanks throughout the township, CLASS BY ITSELF The four-horned antelope is the only living wild-four.horned ani- mal, Duties of ancient Greek mid- wives included exposing the child on a hillside or temple steps if the family decided not to keep it.

Tenders For Tower Foundation It was decided, on a motion by David Mowat and James Ross, that tenders should be called for the construction of foundations of the new water storage tower, tank is to be erected at Chestnut and Centre Streets, and plans and speci~ fications for the foundation were just received from W. B. Redfern, the town's consultant engineer, The tank itself has already been order~ ed, at a cost of $35,000. Specifications called for some 80 cubic yards of concrete for six abutments and a central section, and the P.U.C. hopes that a local contractor can do the job, ® As the buildings which formerly cupied the site of the pro PN.C. building are nearly demol« ished, and as the architect's plans are not yet complete, the commis« sioners decided that the lot should be fenced in to prevent accidents. Start Annuities Payments Among the accounts approved at" the meeting were the payment. of architect's fees ,of $600 to J. B. Parkin, who is planning their build- ing, This represents one fifth of six a! cent of a rough estimate of the uilding's cost at $50,000, To the Dominion 'Government Annuities branch goes $2,272.32, the first pays ment in the recently approved P. U.C. annuity program, to which both the employees and the P.U.C. contribute, Mr. Pringle also stated that the consultant engineer was at work on plans for changes to the sew disposal plant, but that meanw! no repairs save éleaning up have been going on at the plant.
