Nuttall and Mr. Harold Nut- tall visited with friends. in the city on Sunday'. On Monday night. the Methodist Church Young foeopie were given a glimpse of how the other fellow lives. The man and woman who are discour- aged, with whom life has been an up- hill struggle; sometimes it is true through his or her own folly, but often through the inroads of diseases. death and no work. Miss Howe, of the Fred Victor Mission, came out and told a simple yet wonderful story of the,every-day life of the Mission among the people of English, Scotch, Irish and Canadian birth. Speaking first of the equipment consisting of the pastor, Rev.’ Mr. Honeysett, the district visitors, two nurses and her- self; then the work itself. The boys are under the direct control of ‘Mr. Honeysett. Religious' services and Sunday School classes on Sunday with l gymnasium, swimming and other re- creations' during the week. Boys com- ing from homes, in many cases where parental control, if any, is more harmful than beneficial. Boys with no father and a mother who is un- able to give proper supervision and council because pt the daily grind for bread to eat, clothes to wear and shelter. Boys whose sense of honor has become, blunted and ' in many cases buried. These.are boys whose characters he is helping to mould and build into strong Canadian citizens, and in many cases he is doinsr'it, as was shown by some concrete cases told by the speaker, where a few short years past, the boy in his early l teens had Been a problem, a source of 'constant worry to an already over- strained mother, and was now earning good money and a, comfort in the I home. In the case of girls, it was the same. Ill health and no money in many cases forcing them to seek the shelter of the Mission, but in no in- stance where 1hey turned away, al- though oftimes recourses were strain- ed to the breaking point in order to give relief. Then the homes visited. according to fundamental law's, a woman by the time she had reached the years of horne-makei and moths erhood, should be a finished product, but alas too often this was not the case, and the wolf ot poverty and want stalked in the door because the wife and mother did not know how to manage. The children were the victims of disease through the lack of nourishing food. and the nurse or visitor had to rely on the Mission for supplies. A pair ot boots displayed toy the speaker, which she had taken oft a child during last week's snow- storm and supplied with fresh shoes, gave a faint idea of the enormity ot the work carried on. There was also another work they were endeavoring to carry on. learn these same girls the fundamentals of sewing. cooking, cleaninggnd other branches of house- work, so that in the years to come, Canadian homes, at least, Would , be ‘ what home stands for.

WESTON Unlike the abortive Toronto Com- mission. the township body did not construct their houses all in a row. Nor did they use standardized plans. Applicants were allowed to choose their own locations. The commission was just as willing to build a house in Willowdale as in Swansea, Todmorden or Earlscourt. Applicants were also allowed to select their’own plans. so long as they conformed to certain building regulations. As a result the houses present.a pleasing variety of design. I \ »Practically 90 per cent. of the owners are returned soldiers. The commission saw to it that returned men were given the preference when it came to seeing who, among the hosts of' applicants, should be ad- vanced money. In some cases, with the consent of the Government, regu- lations were relaxed in order that re- turned men might not be prevented by red tape from building their own houses. Only solid brick was allowed‘to be used. Most of the houses are small, but they are compactly built. They are as nearly fireproof in construction as houses can be made. Although the houses were built at the peak of building costs, the average cost was about $3,500. The highest monthly payment being made, in, cluding principal and interest, Mr. Denver stated, was $26.67, the lowest $20. More than twenty householders were questioned, and everyone of them declared they had saved money by purchasing their' houses through the commission. Payments. extended over twenty years, were easy to meet. They had no complaints to make about the workmanship on the houses. The commission had built , their homes cheaper and faster than they could have done. 1Vintemattr-9tuttaat In Castle Memorial ‘Hall, McMaster University, on Thursday, November 10th, the marriage took place of Mary, daughter of Mr.' and Mrs. W. G. Ruttan, to Rev. H. E. Wintemute, pastor of \Veston Baptist Church, Rev. Dr. Weston officiating. Owing to the unavoidable absence of her father, the bride was given away by her brother. She was gowned in white crepe de chine with tulle veil and orange blos- soms. and carried aubouquet of roses. Her sister, Miss Ruby Rattan, wearing pink satin and carrying pink roses, assisted as bridesmaid. and little Isabel Ruttan, wearing'pale pink and carrying a basket of roses, made a charming little flower girl. Mr. Harold Ryan, presi- dent ot the McMaster students' alumnae, supported the groom. Fol- lowing a short wedding trip, Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Wintemute will sail on De- cember lst for La paz, Bolivia. S. A., where they will engage in missionary work. The bride will travel in a navy blue tailored suit with blue feather hat and beaver furs, Great Saving Made Householders who purchased their homes through the commission were given 20'years to pay for them, with interest at five per cent. "If I were renting this, house," declared Mr. C. Tunbridge, ot Watson / Ave., South Runnymede, "I would have to pay the landlord from $40 to $45 a month rent. My monthly payments of principal and inte/est to the commis- sion amount to $22.50. I can pay my taxes, pay off my house, pay insurance and allow myself interest for the money invested and still: be money in pocket. YORK TOWN SH 11' The men who form the township commission are: Thomas Griffith, chairman; John T. Watson, vice- chairmen; Reeve F. H. Miller, John B. Harris and Corporal Thomas Abram. The officers are: Secretary. J. A. Martin; treasurer. W. J. Douglas; inspector, William Dever; architect, E. l. Butler. and solicitors, Starr, Spence, Cooper & Fraser. Very Small Overhead The commission went about its work slowly, but methodically. Unlike a number of similar bodies it has no un- occupied houses left on it's hands to be disposed of at a loss. The overhead has been kept down to a, surprisingly low fdgure. The cost of the, commis- sion,lega1 expenses, architect's and engineering fees and interest on each loan from the date bf issue to the date of the confirmation ot? the agreement did not exceed ad average of $200 per house. SHIN-I nllli (llllllfll El., EDIE. (lllihillll, After' three years of service' York Township Housing Commission is about to wind up active operations. Few commissions appointed under the Housing Act are still intact and ssstill fewer that can point to as tine a record of achievement as the one presided over by ex-Warden Thomas Griffith. ot York Township. With the half-million-dollar loan from the Government the commission has built129 houses .and some six dwellings, the last that will be built. are now nearing completion. In 1919, the. first year of its existance, the com- mission advanced money for 40 houses; 60 were built in 1920, and 29 in 1921. _ , Loans Still Sought Funds for the houses built this year were advanced in the fall of 1920. As the grant has now been used up and the Ontario Government long ago de- cided not to continue the system, it is not likely that more houses will be built by the commission. Hopes are still held out that the $2,000,000 set. aside by the Dominion Government for housing purposes may be utilized by various municipalities in Ontario. Since the township grant was used up more than 200 persons have applied for loans. The 32nd annual convention of the South York Religious Education Council Will be held in Maple Metiso-" dist Church, on Wednesday and Thursday, November 23rd and 24th.
