THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE THURSDAY, APRIL 3, 1947 PAGE FOUR LATEST NEWS OF THE COUNTY TOWN OF WHITBY Phone 703, All Departments Business. Office, Miss G. Macpherson; Wm. T. Williams, Editor. Sewage Disposal Plant May Be Started Here Soon Plans for the construction of a prand new sewage disposal plant in Whitby for an estimated cost of $150,000, are going ahead at addi- tional speed, according to the sec- retary of the Whitby Public Utility Commission, Herbert L. Pringle. Mr, Pringle stated that the con- sulting engineer for the project, W. B. Redfern, of the Toronto firm of Proctor, Redfern and Laughlin, had been in Whitby earlier in the week and had held a lengthy consulta- tion with P.UC. officials. The construction of the new plant was approved by council last year subject to the approval of the Ontario Municipal Board but the project has now become mandatory since the receipt of a letter from the Provincial Department of Health stating that the project must be completed as soon as pos- sible. Although the Toronto firm has almost completed the rough draw- ing of the plans for the new plant it is not known yet as to when con- struction may start, However, P.U.C. officials are hoping that the project may be completed this year. The matter of a new sewage dis- posal plant has been a subject of grave concern to the local Board of Health and they have made repeat- ed recommendations to the town 'council asking that the work te started as £0on as possible. The new plant will be located about one half mile east of Brock St. between the new provincial highway and the old Base Line. The completed plant will cover al- most two acres of land and will em- ploy most of the modern ideas now being used in the construction of such plants. Mr. Pringle stated that it would be possible to make use of several features of the old plant but that essentially the new plant will be new from the ground up. He sald that in addition to the clarifiers now in use the new project would entail the construction and use of bio fllters and a new sludge di- gester, Mr, Pringle sald that when the new plant is in operation all efflu- ent would be first clarified and then filtered and that the liquid effluent remaining would be carried by pipe line down Brock St. and would empty into the lake. He add- ed that the solid sludge remaining oud be transported and deposited Whitby department. Mr, Pringle stated that Order your drainage or weep- ing tile NOW. Write for sizes and prices.

LEURY Correspondent Myrtle Station, April 2.--About ATS and neighbors gather- ed in the community hall on Mon= day evening to honor Mr. and Mrs. A. E, Ramsey prior to their depar- ture to their new home in Little Britain. Euchre was enjoyed for the first part of the evening; then Mr. Irwin Ormiston took the chair and acted as master of ceremonies. After Mr. and Mrs. Ramsey had joined him on the platform, at his invitation, an address was read to them and they were presented with a lovely bridge lamp. In a few well chosen words 'the recipients expressed their apprecia- tion and thanks. Following this, Mr. Ramsey to whom a little bird had whispered of the presentation treat- ed all to ice cream and with this a half hour was spent in pleasant chit-chat. The address: "We your Myrtle friends have gathered here tonight to spend a social evening with you ere you move to your new home. Since coming into this locality you have established for yourselves a most enviable reputa- tion in various ways. In the first place you have proven to be good citizens in the erection of a fine new store and dwelling, a building which is a credit to anyone and an asset to any community. Furthermore, and of greater im- e, you have merited the con- fidence and respect of everyone by your upright conduct and your hon- est dealings with your customers and fellowmen. You have always used the Golden Rule as the yard- stick of your measurements and have never failed to render the full rather difficult to operate, due to the short supply of consumer goods and oftithes we, your cus- tomers, have been rather impatient when we could not purchase all the things we wanted. You have borne very patiently with us in our short- and have always tried to measure out justice and fairness to Not only have you been diligent in the operation of your business, but you have been most active and be upon you at all Signed on behalf of your many Myrtle friends: E.

NOTES by BILL BRADLEY Monday night marked another practice of the Whitby Kinsmen Band, There were a few members absent, The practice began with "God Save The King," and was fol- lowed up by a waltz which was played extremely well. We were honored by the presence of Ragnar Steen, the former band- master, At intermission Mr, Stéen spoke regarding the practice. He said, that on the whole, the Lehav- ior, of the boys was not too good, and that we would have to settle down and really work. In conclu- sion he stated that he would be present for the concert in May, and he hoped it would be a success. After intermission, the "Military Escort March" was practiced. A new march entitled "Mutual" was began, and much progress was made on it. The band now has a group of 4 well known marches, two waltzes and numerous other small numbers, There are only five more weeks of practice, so everyone is re- quested to work as hard as possible. One member of the band had to be dismissed last night, due to im- proper conduct. It is hoped that this action will not have to be ta- ken again, but rules must be obey- el The next practice will be held on Thursday night of this week at 6.55 pm, Community Pays To Resident Who | Died In Accident M. V. LEURY Se ndent Myrtle Station, April 2--Residents of this village were shocked and saddened by the tragic death about 7 am. on Wednesday, of Frank Clayton Harrison, CP.R. section foreman. Fearing that the water, which was running over the track at a low crossing, might freeze and cause serious trouble, Frank worked alone almost all night. He came in about 4 am. to rest. Shortly after 6 am. he went out again. In the meantime he had slept but taking for granted. that the Ottawa-To- ronto express had passed through, he continued working at the ice. The train was running an hour behind schedule and a roaring, blinding snow storm was raging which made visibility nill. The en- gineer of an east bound freight spotted the body a half hour later and reported at the station, Frank was in his forty-eighth year. Born at Myrtle, he was the son of Mrs. R. Lang and the late James Harrison. He was a veteran of World War I; a member of the Masonic Order and a member of Post 11, British Empire Service League (Canadian Legion). Surviving are his widow (Olive Gascogne) ; a son, Gordon; a grand- son, Bobbie; his mother, Mrs. R. Long; a sister, Gladys (Mrs. Roy Scott); two brothers, Wilmer of Latchford and Clarence of Myrtle, to whom is extended much syms= pathy from the communnity.

UXBRIDGE, ONTARIO Phone 103-r-2 Brooder Fire Kills 500 Damage Is $500 Hens & * A fire which broke out on the premises owned by John Jeppeson, 900 King St, Whitby, claimed $500 damage yesterday afternoon when a hen house, 500 chickens and a quantity of grain were destroyed. fire, which was believed to have started from an overheated oil burning brooder in the hen house, was well under way when firemen arrived and it was only after a stubborn and persistent fight that the fire was confined to the one building, The owner of the hen house, John Jeppeson, told Fire Chief William Heard that he had visited the brooder house at two o'clock in the afternoon yesterday and that at that time everything appeared to be fine, He said that he happened to glance toward the hen ho:se shortly before four o'clock and found the building on fire and smoke pouring from windows and doors, Whitby fire department memte-s arrived on the scene shortly after the alarm was turned in and found the fire raging in the building which was joined to several other buildings on the premises. At first it was believed that the 'fire could be controlled the small hose lines but after persistentlf fighting the fire for several minutes it was decided to run a big hose line to the building. It was necessary for the firemne to connect the large hose to a hy- drant located on Centre St. and in all almost 1,000 feet of line was used. Jeppeson told officials that al- most 350 baby chicks, purchased on Saturday at a cost of nearly $100, were destroyed together with al- most 150 laying hens. 'The chicks were burned alive in the fire while the chickens at the opposite end of the building were suffocated by the the burning building, He stated that only recently he had purchas- ed a quantity of grain and had stored the food in the hen house so that it wouldn't become damp. ' Firemen experienced some diffi- culty in getting the fire trucks near enough to the blaze because of the soggy condition of the ground. Fol- lowing the fire one of the fire de- partment vehicles had to be push- ed out of a muddy hole into which it had been driven, Jeppeson told officials that he couldn't understand why the oil brooder had become overheated, adding that it had been in opera- tion for some little time and that he had never experienced any pre- vious trouble with it. Jeppeson credited the fast action of the Whitby brigade in saving the other buildings which housed several hundred other birds. He sald that if the brigade had not re- sponded so promptly it was quite possible that the fire might have spread to the other hen houses and then to his own house as well, The Times-Gazette classified ad section will get what you want! 305 Dundas St. W.
