Vol. 11, No. 33 Wednesday, August 19, 1981 24 Pages tario if you are looking for a future home....to us, you would bring more than just a building." The advertisement was part of a special section published by the Financial Times entitled "In- dustrial Locations." The section had descriptions of communities located throughout Canada and included in the outlines were the Town of Whitby and the Region of Durham. Attersley said that the decision to put the adver- tisement in the Southam publication was made because they give a list of communities offering in- dustrial and commercial land in the annual section. However, the mayor does not know what kind of response the advertisement will receive. "you have to be positive," Attersley said. "You have to push Whitby any way possible." Only time will tell if the advertisement brings new corporate citizens to the town. Girl injured in pop bottle explosion By MICHAEL KNELL Free Press Staff A young Whitby girl was sent to hospital last Mon- day night after she was injured by an exploding pop bottle. The incident took place at the Miracle Food Mart, Dundas Street West. According to Tina Blaauw of 4 Bannerman Court, Whitby she had picked up a 750 ml size bottle of Canada Dry Ginger Ale and-was about to put it in her cart when it exploded. The explosion caused the glass to shatter and the fragments cut her daughter's wrist. Jennifer Blaauw, 10, was taken to the Dr. J.O. Ruddy General Hospital, treated and released. Blaauw said that the explosion took her com- pletely by surprise. "It just burst,"she said. "I was in such shock and my daughter was bleeding all over the place." Blaauw added that her six-year-old daughter just barely escaped injury in the incident. The local resident also expressed her concern about other possible incidents with the same type of pop bottle. "It's a terrible state of affairs," Blaauw said. "The public should be wary that the bottles are ex- ploding." This incident is reminiscent of the situation con- cerning 1.5 liter pop bottles. Last year, the federal government ordered those bottles taken off the shelves because they were prone to explode - especially if they were accidently dropped. George Thistel, the manager of the Miracle Food Mart, said that this was the only incident he knows of with the 750 ml bottles. "This is an isolated case," he said adding, "I was very disturbed by it." Thistel gave assurances that the incident will be reported to the food chain's head office for investi- gation. Whitby is a dvertising for industry "Whitby - We Mean Business." That has been the town's slogan this year as Mayor Bob Attersley conducts an aggressive and intensive campaign for industrial development. The latest promotion effort made by the town is a three-quarter page advertisement in the August 10 edition of the Financial Times of Canada which was paid for out of the town's $100,000 development fund. This fund was established by five major resi- dential developers because they have recognized the need for irnlustrial development, according to Attersley. The advertisement was not the only one that has appeared in a major national publication recently. In the July-August edition of the Financial Post Magazine there was a full-page ad featuring the Whitby Arts Station Gallery and its director - Linda Paulocik. The advertisement in the Financial Times featured a full color photograph of Attersley as well as the town's seal and the stylized "D" of Durham Region. In his message as part of the ad, Attersley says that, "The community structure of the Town of Whitby is bult to serve the people - a numnber one priority." ~Attersley also claims that during the last 18 mon- ths, 75 per cent of the town's 100 industrial citizens have undergone an expansion. He also cites the reason for this. "It is due to the people inside and the quality em- phasis they place on productivity." In speaking to potential industries, the mayor en- courages them to look at Whitby as their future home. "I, therefore, invite you to consider Whitby, On-
