hi t iHC The offices also received much atâ€" tention and care in the planning. They are modern and upâ€"toâ€"date. The surâ€" roundings are congenial, the light is excellent and all space is occupied to advantage. Again, the plant has been laiq/out so that light is available from all sides / and from the large roof moniâ€" tors. The ventilation has received speâ€" cial attention and is most complete. 'i‘he heating system, ‘angessential toâ€" day, is well arranged and gives exâ€" cellent satisfaction. Thus the workâ€" man’s conditions are perfect and this tends to invigorate @ man while at work instead. of deadening him, as most plants do. Ideal conditions inâ€" crease the produ.,ction and the product. Th/e office and factory employ about 400 hands at the present time, and are running overtime at present. The Canada Cycle & Motor Co. are /now occupying their new plant at Weston. The above cut will give you some idea of its size. The upper storâ€" ey at the front is occupied by the ofâ€" fice staff, and the ground floor by the factory. The main floor has a floor area of approximately 100,000 square feet. It is laid out to utilize every inch of space. Each department is also placed so as to handle the parts and each operation without an extra moving back and forth. The raw maâ€" terial is received direct from the car on their own platform and then placâ€" ed in the stock department. No teamâ€" ing or second handling is required. It then is routed around the building until it reaches the shipping room in its finished state ready for shipment. All this means time saved. All unâ€" necessary handling is alwéys lost laâ€" bor and costs money. This is eliminâ€" ated in the new plant. Careful planâ€" ning and past experience has accomâ€" plished the end. Thus the cost of proâ€" duction is lessened and a greater facâ€" tory efficiency is obtained. PAGE SIX WESTON‘S FINE NEW FACTORY NOW COMPLETE AND DOING BUSINESS The Massey, Red Bird, Planet, Genâ€" Great as is the importance of the public school in old and well estabâ€" lished countries, this importance is even greater in the new lands which are being called upon to assimilate populations from the more congested countries. It is worthy of note that in Western Canada, which may be cited as a case in point of a country which is called upon to assimilate a population of many races. Some of the most strenuous political and constiâ€" tutional fights have hinged upon the systems of public education. These fights, however, were not without their purpose, and it is out of them bas arisen a public school policy well calculated to meet the needs of a new and rapidly growing country. In such m country the public school has to take on functions not usually associâ€" ated with it in the older and r?ore densely settled communities. (The prairie schoolhouse is not merely a centre of education; it is also the reâ€" ligious and social centre of the disâ€" trict; During the week days the school teacher furnishes education to T/E CGouUNTRY SCFHOOL 1sS A4 GOMMUNITY OENTRE The question asked by the ratepayâ€" ers toâ€"day in many quarters is this: Is t]llis plant an asset to Westgn? We have pa{d for. the laying of water mains and erecting poles and wire for their electricity. ~â€"Where do we get our returns? Tt looks like a direct “outlay with very small returns. Howâ€" ever, if we think of the possibilities at our door then we can see the beneâ€" fits. By a careful and proper manipuâ€" lation the majority of these men will live in Weston. It is connected directly with both railway tracks by their own siding. The agreement between / the G.T.R. and C.P.R. makes switching from or to each line easy. The plant is withâ€" in s x minutes‘, walk of the post ofâ€" lice or: efther, railway station. The street car runs to and from the city every 20 minutes. The Town . of Weston supplies them with water ‘and Hydro electricity. Could a plant get a better situation ? The plant is situated in the extreme northwest corner of York. Township. It borders the Municipality of Weston on the north and west sides. The front faces Hagle Avenue and the west is right alongside the C.P.R. tracks. The manufacture of . skates is also a very important item. The Automoâ€" bile Skate has made an unexcelled name fo‘r itself.~ Not only. has it won renown here in Canada, (but in the United States. In keen competition with American and imported skates, they bring the highest price. The sale has been so large this year that many orders were left unfilled for the States. > deron, Cleveland, and other well known bic_\"clés, are all made and asâ€" sembled here. The output totals about 900 bicycles .complete each â€" week. These are shipped to every town and city in Canada, also to Australia, New Zealand, and across the border. Large numbers are used. the children of the neighborhood, but on Sunday the missionary holds his services, which all attend regardless of creed or nationality, and on week nights the building is used for meetâ€" ings of farmers, for the various comâ€" munity societies; for the Red Cross or Patriotic Club, and for purely so clal events such as debates, concerts and dances. To facilitate the latter, it may be noted that many country schoolhouses use removable desks which the willing hands of the farmâ€" ers‘ boys quickly dispose of whenever there is a dance in prospect. Another phase of community work associated with the rural school which has been coming into prominâ€" ence during the last few years is the supply of books to settlers in the disâ€" trict. This work is encouraged and assisted by the central Department of Education, which provides catalogues of books suitable for such purposes, the actual selection being left to the teacher. The number of books allotâ€" ted to a school district is based on the report of the inspector of schools. In the Province of Alberta, although this school Mbrary movement is only in its infancy, no less tham 110,000 books were supplied for this purpose last year, at a cost of some $30,000.00. Educationists of the province look forward to the time when every school disâ€" trict will be a library centre, givâ€" ing: to the settlers the facilities now afforded to residents of cities and towns through their public libraries. The prosperity which has almost over whelmed rural Alberta in the last two years, when farmers have been reapâ€" ing enormous crops and selling them at the highest figures in history, promises to contribute still further to the importance of the rural school as a social centre. . With every farmâ€" er driving his own ‘automobile the opportunities for social gatherings are greatly increased, and the counâ€" try school is the naturs:‘ meeting place. One of the most important assets is that the C.C.M. address is Weston, Ontario. Thus the name of Weston is carried all over the British Empire, Canada and the United States. The large staff of stenographers turn out an enormous amount of correspondâ€" ence. Jn summing up the, situation, it is the opening up of the ways. Don‘t waste time talking about the money spent in laying mains and planting poles, but be up aâ€"building houses for these men to live in. Bend your efforts to have them live here; make things attractive for them. Then, and only then, will you see the wisdom of, getting industries here. Weston is the home of the great Auâ€" tomobile skates and the famous C. C. M. Bicycle. As such our town will receive a lot of advertising that could not be otherwise secured at any price. The tonnage of goods received and shipped will also have a marked effect upon the railway companies, both freight and express. The firm pays out each week in wages over $6,000.. They are encourâ€" aging their employees to locate in “Teston, Many haxjfe done so already and (many others have inquired for houses and accommodation. You can see that the slight investment is warâ€" ranted if we can have a part of that $6,000 each week in our town. It is agreed all over that mechanics are the best citizens for any communâ€" ity. They receive good. money, have regular hours, are industrious and honest. ‘They care for their families and look after their homes in a credâ€" itable manner, are intelligent and good workers, also pay their way as they go. Many of these men have now secured every house available in the town. With some one hundred homes added here we will soon pay for our small investment in water mains, etc. , THE TIMES & CUIR@@W wESPON.AYÂ¥EDNESDAY, MARCH ?TH, 1917 â€" "‘Teach your children to _ walk straight."""
