ORMISTON Editor and Manager' PHONE 703 AY WHITBY AND DISTRICT NEWS Wednesday, January 14, 1953 4 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, A CLOSEUP OF THE PLANET SATURN 1 Seen above is the first photo- | graph of Saturn taken by the | world's largest telescope, the 200- | inch Hale reflector on Palomar mountain, near Pasadena, Cali- 'fornia. The picture does not re- present the best that the Palo- mar instrument is capable of making. With better atmospheric conditions it will be possible some day to secure even clearer and sharper pictures. Saturn is easily identified by its rings, the broad bands of minute particles believ- ed to have been formed around during 'Saturn's 30-year revolu- tion around the sun, the three main concentric rings present a. knife-blade edge to the earth. In this view they tilt just enough to reveal their circular shape but not their triple nature. Central Press Canadian. CROCKFORD SPEAKS HERE Scarboro Reeve Charts Expansion Of Industry The remarkable story of Tou industrial expansion of a - ship adjacent to Toronto which only a few years ago was bank- rupt, with its finances under pro- vincial government supervision, and which for 1953 'taxation pur- poses will have an assessment of fifteen million, with eight million of this industrial, was dynamical- ly related to Whitby Rotary Club yesterday by Reeve Robert Crock- ford, of the Township of Scarboro. With rapt attention, the Rétari- ans and guests, the latter including several civic officials heard the speaker tell of the almost unbeliev- able of what is known as the "Golden Mile" on the north and south sides of Eglinton Avenue, which up until the industrial de- started was mainly and referred to by Of particular interest to the Town of Whitby was the story of how the township acquired land to re-sell to the industries as de- for industrial sites came . With the approval of the De- ent of Municipal Affairs the hip Council would pass a Pyle. and the deben- hypothicated to the and when the land was sold Jecsived its money back, sales were always at a . In this way, said Reeve gi , the of the bank interest never cost yers one red cent. and, he further revealed, profits made on sales were used to reduce the burden of taxation on real estate throughout the township. SOME LARGE INDUSTRIES Listing some of the larger in- dustries and their investments in what he termed Canada's largest industrial area, Reeve Crockford, Road, the land, building and equip- ment representing an investment square feet now under contract. It is a 40 acres site which the township purchased from the fe- deral government. Another is Thermost Bottle Ltd. on a seven- acre site; Frigidaire of Canada Limited on 87 acres of land and Rootes Motors Limited on 32 acres, those plants representing an in- vestment of many millions. A gi- ant new industry just starting is Triangle Wire and Cable, which | will spend over four millions. All industria] inquiries were handled by the reeve who had associated with him two members of Council as an industrial committee. SOLD PACKAGE DEAL The reeve of Scarboro said that when land was sold to an industri- al concern included in the sale price was the total cost of water and sewer services. Thus, it was out, the township could give an industrial definite guarantee of sérvice at so many dollars, and in most cases this was the basis on which they wanted to do business. "We made a straight package deal with the industries, the reeve said, There were absolutely no subsi- dies or special inducements offer- ed any industry. "You will find that industries are willing to pay if you have what they want," Reeve Crock- ford told the Club, pointing out that in three years 150 industries had located in the township. He added that when the prospectivey plans of all industries in the. town- ship were completed an industrial investment of $400;000,000 would be represented. GIVEN RUN AROUND Reeve Crockford pointed to a weakness in the industrial fabric of many municipalities, namely, ving representatives of prospec- tive industries the run-around, in places where the municipality pos- sessed no land for industrial sites, these men would be told first by the town clerk of land that could be bought; then the buyer, when approached, boosted the price if he knew it was a for a factory. Next a call would be made several other officials with respect to services and other information but without satisfactory results, for the prospective buyer had not time to be running around for infor- mation, nor did he care to do so, this an industry was lost to some other municipality which had land or could give the prospect all the concise information he wanted in the shortest period of time. DO OWN PLANNING An interesting point covered by Reeve Crockford was that when land was purchased for industrial Purposes no experws were brought in to lay it out. "We do all this ourselves, and it works exception- BROC WHITBY PHONE 618 NOW PLAYING .Sve'ive stows sem. THE TITLE TELLS 48 ERYTHING! | Nil .. 1S one terrific love chase!

SEE NO MONOPOLIES Reeve Crockford said that Scar- boro was not seeking to corral the industries, for all municipali- ties could be in this thing if they have what industries want and set about in a proper business man- ner to set forth their present or potential industrial wares. "This is Canada's golden hour of pos- sibilities and opportunities," he declared, quoting the finding of men who had visited places in in recent months and heard their executives express a strong desire to locate in Canada. ANNEXATION TROUBLES Mr. Crockford deplored the fact that many municipalities today are suffering from annexation troubles for lack of foresight and poor planning in bygone years. He ad- vocated that municipalities should make a close study and make a definite decision on the size they should be, and stock to the set boundaries. PAY THEIR WAY The reeve emphasized very strongly that all owners of new subdivisions paid the entire shot for water and sewer extension to and within the property. This cost was never saddled on the tax- payer, and it was the only fair and equitable basis to deal with this problem. WATER SUPPLY IMPORTANT Pointing. out that Scarboro had recently made a four million dol- lar extensions to its waterworks system, Mr. Crockford said that water, if handled properly in any municipality, could make money. Last year the P.U.C. supplied 3.- 000 services and men were en- couraged to work overtime to get the job done, being paid extra money for so doing. Industries were using four million gallons a day, he said. THE DUTY OF ALL In closing the reeve said that it was the duty of every citizen to make a contribution to his muni- cipality and to leave his munici- pality better than he found it, Janaing down to posterity the re- sult of his foresight, knowledge and co-operation with those who serve. He repeated that this was Canada 'sgolden hour and that he felt that Whitby with many other municipalities could share in it. In addition to the vote of thanks extended by President Don Gib- son, His Worship Mayor Harry W. Jermyn added his personal thanks stating that it had been a great inspiration to listen to the reeve of Scarboro, to whom inci- dentally he extended good wishes in his forthcoming quest for fed- eral political honors. | jugular vein on sion of the Supreme Court in Whit- by, being addressed by Mr. Jus- tice Schroeder.

However, Mr. Devitt did testi- fy that the deceased, at the time of his death had an average life at the same time, might be expect- ed to live 51 years more, while their infant under one year of age has a total life expectancy of 69 years, Lee Connelly, General Motors paymaster, gave evidence of the current earnings of the deceased during his five years of employ- ment there. Mrs. Griffin testified also about his' earning capacity and expens- es. 'Provincial Constables W. L. Smith of Oshawa and B. Reid of Beaverton, told of their investiga- tion of the accident.

The Board expressed its regret Juryman Didn't Bother With Registered Mail At the opening of assize court in Whitby Monday, one juryman, James Smith, Broken Front, Pick- ering Township, did not answer, nor had he sent in any word that he would not be present. The pre- siding judge, Mr. Justice Schroe- der, ordered the sheriff's officers to make an investigation. .The following day Smith was present. '"He said he had not called for his mail," the court was informed. Was it not registered and sent out in lots of time?' queried the Bench. "It would be too bad if all the jurymen didn't bother getting such important mail." No further censure was made about the delinquent juryman. CARDS OF THANKS Mrs. Violet Richardson and Mrs. A.
