The salary schedule for North York councillors will likely . clash next week over which one of them will serve on Metro council. In the Borough of York, the issue will be cut and dried beâ€" cause York is entitled to three Metro representatives and these will be the mayor and the two elected controllers. Who Should Sit On Metro Council? Clash Predicted Over 6th Seat But North York is entitled to six representatives on Metro council and since it has only a five man board of control (mayor and four countrollers), the sixth will have to be one of the 12 councillors.

We had the largest ship on the Great Lakes in those days, and were an hour late, taking on our cargo at Port Colâ€" borne. We were about to leave at seven that evening, . instead of six as scheduled. A strong wind blew up which made it imâ€" possible for us to clear the harâ€" bor without being blown up against the breakwater. "That night," continued the Weston hardware merchant, "the greatest storm ever known on the Great Lakes blew up, and 265 merchant sailors lost their lives. When I think that we missâ€" ed going out in that lake beâ€" eause of a 60 minute delay, I have to believe that someone must have been looking over us." "The second date was Armisâ€" tice Day, November 11, 1918. "The French Government had ordered 13 gun boats from the ship yards in Port William. Eleven of these war ships had already been sent over to France and a crew of 65 Frenchmen were in Port to sail back in the other two. That night there was quite a celebration. Peace had been declared and these sailors rejoiced that they were going back home to France.
