Conant Owned Vesel Fleet Daniel Conant of Oshawa was a very large vessel owner in 1838, At the early request, en- treaties and tears of some 70 patriots, who were being hounded by the authorities, and whose lives were in danger, he took them across Lake On- tario in mid-winter to Osweg, N.Y. in his ship, 'Industry'. After picking up patriots who came out from the shore in canoes, it headed across the lake to the haven of refuge 60 miles away. Daniel Conant, Joyn Pickell, the mate of the ship, and the other officers had another per- iolous trip home., They walked back to Niagara in the spring of 1838 and crossed the Niagara river at its mouth, a _ point closely guarded. By protesta- tions of loyalty, Pickell got the party through the guards. Women leave our store without buying a thing AND WE LOVE IT!! like it. We like "'lookers"'.

The Times, which is the only daily publication printed in On- tario Gounty today, grew from the establishment in 1855 of The Vindicator under a front-page banner reading: "A Weekly Journal Devoted to News, Politics, Literature, Science and Agriculture." Formation of other area news- papers and an aftermath-string of mergers culminated in 1927 with the foundation of the Osh- awa Daily Times; two years earlier it was The Ontario Re- former -- born in 1871 as a "political mouthpiece" and rival _ Of the Vindicator. With the Reformer's origin began four major transitions in The Times' history but the fifth and most gargantuan change came in May of 1951 when the Times-Gazette joined the Thomson newspaper group. E. C. Prince, appointed gen- eral manager of the paper April 1, 1966, looks optimistically into the future. "The Oshawa Times is proud and happy to be part of the rapidly growing community of Southern Ontario cities. We are also very much aware of the privileged and important role we play as the only local daily newspaper in this area," Mr. Prince comments. "We are certain that Oshawa is destined to become a most important Canadian city. In the years ahead one can foresee an ever enlarging industrial complex which will eventually stretch from Port Hope clear around the horseshoe of Lake Ontario's shoreline to Welland beyond. "With Oshawa's expanding port facilities and more and more new industries locating here in Oshawa and environs we cannot imagine anything less than a continuing economic growth for the entire district. Industrial planning experts pre- diate area of ward to 30,000 40,000 and 50,000 and so on." 'It was the political ambition of the old Vindicator, which delegated support to the Con- servative political faction, that resulted in the Liberal "Re- formers" establishing "'The On- tario Reformer' in 1871. But their ardent rivalry was shortlived, for in 1875 they came under joint ownership -- though it was not until 1917 that the dict that the im Oshawa and district will, 1980, have a_ population 250,000 people. CONSTANTLY REVIEWING "The Oshawa Times is dedi- cated and determined to pro- vide this ever increasing "fam- ily of residents' with the best possible newspaper which can be produced. Technological ad- vances in printing, transmis- sion of news and photographs by wire and electronic aids, and other technical innovations in the printing of a daily news- paper are either in use now or being studied for future intro- duction. We are constantly re- viewing the most modern methods of newspaper produc- tion," said Mr. Prince.

The continuing Ontario Re- former changed its name to the Oshawa Daily Times, which amalgamated in 1942 with the Whitby Gazette and Chronicle (established in 1863) and ap- peared under a revised name-- The Daily Times-Gazette. In 1957, The Times purchased the property of Ontario Motor Sales Ltd., located at the cor ner of Mary Street and King Street East, the paper's present site.
