Will House Latest In Spinning Machines Ajax's biggest, new industrial building, the spinning mill of the Monarch Knitting Company, Limited, is now nearly completed (as shown in a photograph on this page). This huge million-dollar building will house expensive equip- ment for the spinning of cotton blend yarns. With.the ex- ception of the office section, the plant is air-conditioned to provide the rigidly controlled temperature necessary to the process. There are no windows in the plant. Architects Hanks and Irwin ofé-- Toronto and the builder, the Foun- dation Company of Canada, have erected the building in about six months. : Ten acres were acquired for the plant site just south-west of the fire hall. According to a statement by the President of the Company, the Right Honorable Lord Barnaby, the company already operates four mills in Ontario. The building at Ajax now provides 50,000 square feet of working space. About 150 employees will operate the machines. It is expected to have the plant in operation before the end of the present year. Arrangements are now under way for the provision of homes for the plant's staff. Provi- sion of housing was & major con- sideration in locating this plant in Ajax. Only there could a commit- ment be made by the municipal authority that adequate housing and a ready supply of labor would be available. * The Monarch Knitting Company, Limited, is an old-established con- cern, having been in operation for over fifty years. Its head office is in Toronto, and it operates four mills, two in Toronto, one in Dunn- ville and one in St. Catharines, Smart Craft Has Fine Trip Around Lakes Among the visitors in Whitby harbor over the week-end were Mr. and Mrs. Ray McHugh and son Fred of Detroit who have been on a lengthy vacation cruise in their Chris-Craft "Kayann II". They left Detroit on July 22, going up to Lake Huron to Tobermory, then through Georgian Bay to Manitoulin Island for a few days' fishing. Then they travelled through the Trent-Murray canal system down to Trenton and there picked up Mr. and Mrs, Roy E. Hall as guests. Mr. Hall is a son of Mrs. R, Hall of Whitby. Yesterday the McHughs continued on to Toronto and they will be touching Rondeau Park, Leaming- ton, then home. Mr. and Mrs. Kim- ball of Detroit accompanied them on the trip. Mr. McHugh is a Petroit auto dealer. Ajax Houses Sell Like 'Hot Cakes' -250 Gone In First Week of Sale The biggest real estate boom In the history of Ontario County hit Ajex last week when the 600 houses in the section were offered for sale to the present tenants. Some 250 were purchased in the first week and many more are expected to be sold this month. Terms were: for purchases made an or before Augustl, 1951--4%% interest, after which the interest rate was increased to 5%. Price range is: $2,800 for the small four- room house to $3,750 for the six- room house. Down payment is 10% with the balance amortized over periods up to 20 years, These houses were hastily con- structed by Wartime Housing Limited in 1941 and 1942 to provide accommodation for some of the 8,000 persons working in the De- fence Industries shell-filling plant at Ajax. The remainer of the 600 houses are still for sale, but at the higher interest figure. All of the houses have cement foundations, or will have very soon. They are of the neat, square-type of wartime housing, very familiar to mast people across Canada. In the grow- ing industrial community of Ajax, there is every reason to believe that those who buy their own homes will live and work there for many years to coma. Although the section has not yet any sidewalks, paved roads or the type of shopping district found in older-established towns, these things have all been promised by Central Mortgage, and will be provided in the near future.

Demolition Job Kept Very Neat What is probably the neatest, cleanest demolition job in local history, has just been completed by a group of Brooklin men. At a series of "bees" extending over the past three weeks, members of the Masonic * Lodge at Brooklin have taken down. their 80-year-old wooden two-storey hall that was much the worse for wear, Now they are ready to erect a large, modern structure which will serve their own needs and certain community needs for years to come. Except for a bit of dust rising from the demolition work, the scene yesterday was totally unlike any normal wrecking operation. All around the building was swept and neatly raked. All the salvaged timbers were neatly piled. Scarce- ly a nail was left strewn upon the ground. Most of the heavy timber 'salvaged is in good condition. It is of a size and length scarcely ever seen these days. Some of the basic timbers, however, were completely consumed with dry rot. One of the features of the fine new building which will go up on the same site, opposite the United Church, will be a large banquet hall which will be available for com- munity functions at times.

On Saturday at Crowe Lake, he came first again in his own field and second in an open class where he was pitted against professionals.

The Tune The Town of Whitby has sure been in the hdadlines during the past few months, and, unfortunately, the publi- city the town has received in the press and over the air waves from coast to coast has been anything but favorable. As a matter of fact, many citizens, among them business | men with heavy investments, go so far as to say that it has been damaging. Let's look at the picture. Only a few months ago when the District High School opinion or regulations of a teacher's organization, in the matter of granting salary in- creases, it was placed on the blacklist, and great was the Then, in more recent weeks, the police department has been much to the fore, with a number of complaints directed against the chief constable occupying front page space. True, Whitby is not alone in this respect, as a perusal of the press would indicate almost daily, but, nevertheless, the pub- licity is anything but good for the town, for it is almost certain to create a false impression of the town and its law- abiding citizens as a whole. Nor are the papers to blame in any way, for they are in duty bound to give their readers the news--and charges against a police officer, or any civic official for that matter, are always news. Then, again, only this week a former mayor was quoted lin a Toronto evening newspaper as saying that the town i has been run by a clique for 90 years, but it dislikes giving |up power, also that newcomers to the town in recent years {don't like the way "things" are run. This charge, of course, | will not be taken seriously by our citizens, but outside people | ani endeavor to take such an | time. PROFESSIONAL | are liable to swallow it hook, line and sinker. What impres- sion must they get of the town? The publicity given the town with respect to PUC financing is still fresh in the memories of the people, and it, too, was of the unfavorable variety. Can it be that we if, this fair town are sinners above all men? If so, let's repent hastily and don the sackloth and ashes and afterwards re- solve that from now on we will cast apathy to the winds interest in our town that the publicity of the future may be in reverse. We could do with a nice lot of good publicity at this | IT 'Brooklin Scouts Return From Summer Camp MRS. M. A. DYER Correspondent Brooklin--Twelve happy Brooklin Scouts returned home Saturday, Aug. 4, from a week-long stay at the Scout camp at Lake St. John, about eight miles from Orillia. Pat- rol leaders James Patterson and Jack Frost accompanied the boys and the whole week was devoted to Scout duties. Frank Lovelock, James Thompson, Irvin and Elmo Gibson, Ernie and Carl Patterson, Edwin Lightle, John McKinney, Grant Mowbray, Charles LaVandavich, Ronald Norrish, and Murray Jack- son, were all on hand every morn- ing for flag break and morning prayers. No one missed a meal, and the favorite meal was pork and beans, Wonderful weather all week add- ed greatly to their enjoyment. Swimming and fishing were pop- ular, too. Ernie Patterson proved to be the best fisherman and won a prize for catching the largest mud- cat. Five of the boys at camp qual- ified for their camp cook badge; and these were Frank Lovelock, Ernie Patterson, Irvin Gibson, John McKinney and Carl Patterson. Un- fortunately for Edwin Lightle, he slept peacefully through the allot- ed time for his biscuit test and so missed his camp badge. Irvin Gibson also won his enter- tainer's badge when he captivated the attention of the boys for one whole evening with his rendition of many popular and other songs and accompanied himself on the guitar. He 1s well known for his talents and the Scouts really appreciated one of their 'own troop doing so nicely in his field. Dr. J. H. McKinney visited the camp on Thursday evening and it was a feather in their caps when he accepted their invitation and stay- ed overnight and participated in the morning activities on Friday be- fore continuing on his way. The Scouts have received a re- quest to collect six-quart baskets and if anyone has any extra, the Scouts will post a notice at the Post Office and one day in the near future the baskets will be picked up as the papers are for salvage. Marie Dyer, age 6, had the mis- fortune to fall and break her arm Monday afternoon and so for this week please look for the balance of the Brooklin news in Wednesday's paper. Pickering Man Forced Off Road Passengers Hurt When they were forced off the road Sunday by an unidentified motorist, four persons were injured in Pickering . Township. George Bandurchin, 21, of Liverpool, re- ported to police that he was driving on the first concession of Pickering with some friends who had been visiting at his house, Suddenly an- other car forced him into the ditch. Bandurchin was cut, requiring stitches administered by Dr. J. A. Corsan of West Hill, On the scene, Police Sergeant Fred White gave first aid to Bandurchin and to Mr. and Mrs. W. Kyslycia of To- ronto and their baby. Mrs, Olga Kyslycia, 28, was most seriously hurt, having neck injuries and bad bruises. The accidents happened at three o'clock Sunday afternoon. Man Kicks Out Cafe Window, Taken to Jail The kind of history that made ; newspaper headlines last week re- | peated itself in a modified manner in Whitby early Sunday morning when a brawl broke out at a local restaurant. This time a man, said to be Frank Noseworthy, 521 Victor Park Avenue, Toronto, kicked in the door window of the O. ¥, Cafe. Police were called and he was taken to jall, charged with causing a disturbance. This type of fracas follows a pattern well known to restaurant operators throughout the country. In the case, a number of witnesses will be called by police to relate in court just what happened, Campfire Jamboree At Pickering An event of more than usual in- terest to the residents of Pickering Township and of nearby communi- ties is the Campfire Jamboree which will be staged at the Pickering Memorial Park on I'riday, - August 10, beginning at 5:30 p.m. Local fans will enjoy a contest of real skill between Brougham and Pickering -- two strong teams fea- tured in this season's local league activities.

Community with Al Harvey as M.C. and Cam Warren at the piano, will add con- siderably to the enjoyment. Besides all this there will be all | kinds of new and thrilling games of skill. A shooting gallery will pro- vide a special attraction for every- one who wants to prove "himself" or "herself" a good schol. Two mam- moth fish ponds will be available -- one for children, the other for adults -- the prizes for the latter including Giant Panada Bears and large Mama Dolls. And, of course, the needs of the "inner man" will not be neglected! | There will be numerous refreshment booths, a Snack Bar, Hot Dog Stand, Soft Drinks, Ice Cream, etc. -- Plus a special Home Baking Booth where you will be able to buy all sorts of cakes, pies, cookies and other good eats for home consump- tion.

As it is some time since I have written for these columns, being absent the greater part of the week | to write a few lines in regard to an incid nt which occurred that made a, great impression on my mind, und which I thought would be of interest to your readers. I dreamt that the village was suddenly aroused by the violent ringing of the fire-bell, and proceeding to th. town hall to learn the cause of the alarm, I was informed that the Mayor of Toronto had tele- graphed , for the Pickering Fire Company to proceed to the city with their engine and other fire- fighting appliances to assist in ex- tinguishing the flames that were rapidly devouring the city, The men were in a ferment of excitement as the Mayor had informed them that the salvation of the city de- pended on their getting there with- in the next hour. As no special train could be got the company decided to go by foot along the Kingston Road. It was a beautiful | sight to see these brave men start off on their humane mission, led b, Capt. Ham carrying a tub and encouraging his men to greater speed. The engine, which the To- rcento people were sighing for, was being drawn by the heavyweights of the company, while lightweights carried the ladders and pails. The journey was a tiresome one. and made unpleasant by a few squab- bles which took place. Peak thought they made a mistake by not bring- ing "Gimp" with them, Carswell said Greig was too fat to belong to a fire company and should be at home, Ward and Chapman wax- ed hot over a discussion about pressure of water. Dillingham com- plained that Moore was stepping on his heels, but finally peace was restored and on they went, when on the other side of Half- Way House, Rogers, who was now winded, thought it would be a good idea to hitch the engine to a trol- ley, which was quickly done. All got on the'trolley except Gordon, Murkar and. Richardson, who brought up the rear and too late to get on. When we reached the city we found Thexton and Haney hunting around for a cistern. We told them they had no cisterns in Toronto as they had waterworks. Just then the Mayor came up and looking at the engine said there was a peanut stand on Front Street that had just caught fire, and that we had better put it out. He also advised us to get a new engine as the one we had would be insufficient in such a fire as this. At the same time he thanked us for the neighborly spirit we had Ir BAck AcHES TrY A KipNeY "HousECLEANING' Do you suffer from Backache, Getting Up Nights, Bladder Irritation, Frequent or Burn- ing, Itching Passages, Strong Clonay Urine, pressure over the bladder, pains in hips, groin and lower abdomen, due to temporary erm {irritation in simple Kidney and Blad- | EB der troublés?

Bore Hole In Roof of Store Steal Goods A large quantity of cigarettes, ra= or blades and other small articles, {but no cash, were stolen from Ron- ald Agg's grocery store, Brock Street North, during the week end. The theft was discovered when Robert | Clarke, an employee, arrived to re- port for work this morning. The thieves climbed to the roof of the building in which the store is located and cut a neat square hole in the roof to gain entry. Using a brace and bit, they bored 12 holes on each side'of a square and removed a portion of the roof. It was then an easy matter to rip away a portion of the ceiling of the store, Woodshed Treatment Ordered For Youths Galt (CP) -- Two fathers were given the choice Thursday of spank« ing their sons or letting a magis- trate decide what punishment they deserve.
