PAGE FOUR a THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE TUESDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1946. ATEST NEWS OF THE COUNTY TOWN OF WHITBY Whitby Editor, W. J. Duthie, Business Office, Miss G. Macpherson Phone 708, All Departments APPROVE NEW $150,000 SEWAGE DISPOSAL PLANT Brunton Lumber Company Hope To Remove Creek's Bad Odor With New Plant Town Council decided unanimously last night to go ahead with plans for a new sewage disposal plant to cost approximately $150, 000, and designed to replace the present 33-year-old structure which is causing so many com- plaints from residents in the port area, The plans had been drawn up the town's consultant engineer, W. B. Redfern, and the members of the Public Utility Commission attended the meeting to give support to the move for the new plant, The Council's decision, in a reso- lution by Councillor Robert McNee and passed unanimously, was that "in the interests of the public health in the Town of Whitby this Council unanimously recommends to the Provincial Board of Health that the present sewage disposal plant in Whitby be reconstructed and extended in accordance with the plans submitted , , . at an esti- mated cost of $150,000." By Mandatory Order This resolution be forwarded to Queen's Park, and the Board will issue a mandatory order for the construction of the plant. On the strength of this, tenders will be called apd when received, the Council will ask permission from the Municipal Board, also at Queen's Park, to issue debentures covering the cost of the project. Mr. Redférn, in a letter accom- panying the plans, held out the hope that the pipes from the plant lo tie bay would te bull snd in y hopes to avold "the offensive odors that have 'occurred in recent sum- mers." / The Council and the P.U.C, went into committee of the whole to dis- cuss the plans with H, L, Pringle and to decide whether to proceed by a mandatory order from the Board of Health or whether to have the plans voted on first by the town. At a joint meeting last sum- mer Yhey were told that the prove ince would have condemned the t system some years ago if e war had not intervened. Cost 314-414 Mills John R. Frost was asked what effect these debentures would have on the tax rate, and estimated that a levy of from 3% to 4% mills would be necessary to retire a 15 year issue. Wm, B, Pringle, chairman of the o h 4 Rotary Speaker DR. J. G. ALTHOUSE Provincial Director of Education and a former principal of Oshawa C.V.I, who will speak to the stiffs of the Whitby schools and the Ro- tarians at the High School tonight. P.U.C, told the Council that "we have to have this new plant." In his letter Mr. Redfern said that the new plant would be ample to take care of present require- ments, and would allow sufficient margin for future growth in popu- lation. His plans call for building on the high ground in the vicinity of the present plant, so as not to interfere with it while the new one is being constructed. It will consist of primary and secondary clarifiers, a sludge diges- tion tank, a blo-filter, pump house and sludge-beds, The estimate in- cludes the pumps and the 4500 feet of 12 inch pipe taking the effluent from the plant to the bay, and emptying into the creek near the bridge on Brock Street South, The decision to proceed with this new sewage disposal plant should, it is hoped, remove the offensive odor from the creek and at the same time remove from the citizens living in the south section of the probably most justified, complaints, 17 Year Old Travels The Seven Seas; Is Nephew of Whitby's Mayor Many people in Whitby will re- member the bright, mischievous lad who lived with, and took an obvious delight in teasing his favorite un- cle Mayor Bob Deverell, Fred Jones left Whitby for the west coast sev- eral years ago, and Mayor Bob has received a cluster of letters from the boy telling of his interesting voy- ages on the seven seas. The first letter, written in 8yd- ney, Australia, tells of & rough pas- sage in the Tasman sea, and a near miss from the tidal waves which sank scores of ships and devastated the shoreline of Hawaii early this year. These tidal waves, according to stories in the press were 100 feet Jigh and travelled at 90 miles an our.

He also men- tioned an old friend of his Sand McLeod of Whitby. In September Fred shipped out again on the Seaboard Queen, for a trip to Cardiff, Wales. The boat passed through the Panama Canal on this trip and the letter was mail- ed from Balboa in the Canal Zone. Salvaged Ship Cardiff, Fred tells of an exciting voyage after leaving the Panama Canal, "About three days out" he writes, "we picked up an 8.08. call on the radio, Some Yank ship ap- parently lost her prop. We sighted her about a day later and towed her in." Fred tells that fifty other , 1046, at |Ships answered the call, but as his A statement of e, for the elec the con- other business as ship was first to get a line on her, they will receive the salvage money, Mayor Deverell was quite pleased to hear from his young nephew and thought that others who knew the boy would be interested in hearing of his new and adventurous calling, > INGRIDERERGMAN A TRUNK ' ROBSON.

Council Finds Town Dump Still Wanted Negotiations between the Town Oouncil and Associated Manuface turers of Canada Ltd, for the pure chase of the town dump ag site for marine and storage de- continued last night when a Kid outlining the firm's plans was read, The negotiations were not made any smoother by the fact that at the same meeting Council] approved payment of the bill of costs for the abortive expropriation proceedings, taken against Isaac Levine on bee half of the oll firm. Costs amount ed to $270.34, and Council hopes that the company will pay them, The 'letter, in reply to an invita- tion from the Council for a com- pany representative to attend the meeting, explained the plans as: to build a marine terminal, of an un« specified . size, at Whitby, along with a branch office and distribut- ing warehouse. File It! Said Deputy-reeve Muir: "I move the letter be filed." "Have they made a definite offer for the dump?" asked Councillor Fred Twist, "Yes." said Mayor R. M. Deverell, "Then we should act on it," sald Mr. Twist, "If we file it does that mean that we don't want to sell them the dump? If so we should tell them that." "Personally I think they are play. ing ug for a sucker," opined Mr, Muir, "Why should we consider them when they don't consider us?" Said Mayor Deverell, "Mr, Hob- litzel (F, G. Hoblitzel, president of the firm) had considerable to do with our getting that sandsucker dredge (used to dredge the harbor (ast month)" "Did you say he got us the sand- sucker?" asked Mr, Muir, "No, I sald he had considerable to do with it," replied the mayor. "I don't think the Council wants to see storage tanks on that proper ty," said Reeve J. Shields, Want Definite Plans "After all, we knew their inten- tion was storage tanks from the start," sald Councillor R, McNee, "but I think we should get some definite information. There would be a considerable assessment on that property if they built tanks Mr, MolNee then moved that the firm be written and asked to send a representative to the next Council meeting, with definite information about plans, so that a final decision could be reached, His motion was adopted, with Mr, Shields and Mr, opposing.

L. Keirstead is bullding on Dundas Street East were designed, for though small they include all the essentials of a home, a living room, dinette, bedroom, kitchen and bathroom with built-in shower. Here are Mrs, J, McClelland, an English bride, and her daughter Rhoda, who were lucky enough to get the first of the eight houses, stand- ing in the doorway of their new home, Shortages in materials and workmen had to be surmounted before these houses could be built, but still the speed with which they were constructed has caused considerable comment here and in other centres where housing is still the postwar problem to end all problems, G. H. McMahon's Recreation Review "The Hours That Make Us Happy Make Us Wise" BY-PRODUCTS OF RECREATION Having explained briefly our in- terpretation of Recreation, it might be well at this time to consider some of the benefits derived from Recreation, ° Primarily, children engage in it for the sheer joy that they get out of it. It does not occur to them to seek for any deeper reason, The same may be said for most adult participation although in many ine stances there are undoubtedly other contributory motives. It is a well-recognized fact that muscular exercise is essential for the proper development and physi- cal well-being of the young body. Adults require a lesser amount but the requirement prevails if ope is to maintain good health, The cost of medical care and hos. pitalization occasioned by prevent able sickness would be difficult to estimate, Add to this the loss in wages and salaries and the result would be an interesting figure, In the past years there has been a steady increase in the number of patients being cared for in our mental hospitals, The causes of mental ill-health are numerous and varied and while no sure antidote or preventative hag yet been discover ed, it is agreed by many specialists in this field that recreation is a most important factor in the pre- servation of mental health, Recreation is also an important element in the cure of the mentally ill and the facilities available and instruction afforded in most men- jo hospitals are of the highest or- er. (More about this subject next week.) LE J. J TEEN-TOWNS A very successful venture under taken recently in several centres is the formation of a Teen-Town or Teen-Age Club. 'These clubs have taken a great variety of forms, ranging from a club which meets weekly in the school or church to those having thelr own permanent quarters, In the case of the latter the facilities may include a canteen, lounge room, games room, craft room," dance floor, etc. In most cases the administration of these cen is the responsibility of the me rs, with limited adult super vision, An organization would, I feel, re- celve a great deal of support from the teen-age youths of Whitby and perhaps fill a long-felt need. would be pleased to hear from any groups or individuals who would be interested in this enterprise, Town Will Sell $10,000 8th V.L.

At last night's Council meeting a letter outlining their plans was read, which stated that the expan sion would give employment to an additional 26 to 30 men, as well as bringing more shipping to Whitby's harbor, Notice of a bylaw granting the firm a fixed assessment on this addition was given by Deputy-reeve Andrew Muir, and it was pointed out that the company had received no such consideration in the past. Reconverted Quickly Bullt in 1044, the plant was ene gaged 100 percent on war contracts until 1045 and the cessation of hose tilities, After the general cut-back in war production, the plant swung into the peacetime production of urgently needed bullding material, Working closely with Wartime Houzing Corporation the mill has shipped material to the enst as far as Montreal and west of Edmonton, The hardwood flooring expansion will be a boon fo builders faced with the vexing problem of acute shortages of suitable flooring, The new kiln will accommodate three carloads of material at one time, and the drying process is completed sud ie kiln recharged once in each week. Special transfer trucks and addi- tional tracks will carry the wood from the first sawing, into the kiln and from there to the flooring mill for conversion into high grade flooring. From Tree To Floor Although the plant was originale ly designed to process lumber 'in transit", the company has made additions to plant and equipment and for some time has been proe cessing from log to finished lumber, To supplement the short supply of lumber available, the company has purchased a hardwood bush and is carrying on logging operations there at the present time. The freshly tiled logs are trucked dally to the mill, H, F. Brunton, head of the firm, revealed today that arrangements have been completed for the ship- be | ment of lumber from Quebec come mencing next year, Spruce will be shipped from 'Gaspe and Rimousk! and will arrive by boat at Port Whitby, It is expected that the additional traffic into the harbor will induce | shop, the Federa) Government to consider spending considerable monies fot necessary repairs to the seawall, Although modestly taking no cre- dit for his abllity as an organizer nor the years of experience he brought into the business, Mr, Brunton is obviously proud of the record of his firm. Started with little or no fanfare in 1941, the plant was staffed entirely from Whitby and District and he found for his right-hand man, E. J, Cor- mack, a Whitby product who had gained his experience by spending 18 years obtaining mahogany in tropical forests, Confident of Future Occupied during the war years on urgently needed war supplies the or. ganization finished the job and swung smoothly into the production of just as urgently needed building material, Gradual expansion with a planned diversification of pro- duct and a flexible plant has as- sured the organization of a promi. net place in the prosperous post- war economy of Whitby. Mr, Brunton, in addition to be- ing a very pleasant sort of person, is essentially a realist, He spoke of the future of Whitby, and express- ed himself as satisfied that the town was heading for a rapid in- dustrial expansion, The degree of for. STRAINS, SPRAINS ond MUSCULAR PAINS NIGHTS LAST LONGER NOW Night life in Whitby took sn upward surge last night when the Council voted to amend a previous bylaw and set the closing hour for local bowling and poolrooms at mide gir instead of at 11 p.m. as the past, The terms of the bylaw read that "all play shall cease and the doors close at 12 midnight." At its Inst meeting the Coune oil also voted the same hours for local dance halls, expansion, he felt, lay to a great degree with the individual, and each must make some contribution, As a contribution towards adver tising the town he is presently cof« sidering ways and means of incor- porating the name Whitby into a trade name for the hardwood floor= ing which will soon find markets all over the Dominion, Kinsmen Boys' Band To Play Tonight Making its first public appears ance tonight will be Ragnar Steen's Whitby Kinsmen Boys' Band, which has been practising so {ncustriously in the Council chambers for the past few weeks, They are to be the guests of the Kinsmen Club at its dinner to night, and will play for their hosts some of the numbers that they have been rehearsing of late, This group of 24 youngsters have been work ing very hard, both to learn music and to learn how to play it as a band, and the Kinsmen are anx- lously waiting to hear thelr protee ges NO CHIPS WITH BEER Beer, England --(OP)-- There'll be no fish and chips to go with beer in Beer because the Ministry J of Food has refused to grant the necessary license for establishing a GUARANTEED - IMMEDIATE 130 Brock St. N., Whitby Tel 707 Wanted OLD HORSES At current prices, Will take away dead or disabled Livestock with. in a day, free of charge.
