Istie Cas After some considerable discussion Reeve Price received support to his suggestion that the matter should be laid over for the time being until some definate policy. had been declared: in connection with the prospective measâ€" ures which may be taken in relation to the roadway,. asâ€"aâ€" resultofâ€".conâ€" ferences with the County Council at the forthcoming session in June, He pointed out that the difficulty might ‘arise with the need for the upkeep of two roads and bridges if the suggesâ€" ted scheme were adopted which would not be in the best interests of the community from a cost point of view. _ Bridge Openinz Plans Partiy Arranged '??élative to the forthcoming celeâ€" bration in connection with the opening of the new Lambton high level bridge, Mr. Rhodes sought the granting of a permit to erect a refreshment stand in the bridge vicinity, but was adâ€" vised that this concession had already been granted and the Council‘s hands. were therefore tied in the matter. Pressing his case for consideration,, which he claimed was made on beâ€" half of his son, he stated that the road where they were already operatâ€" ing a stand had been closed all the vear, and though they had paid for their permit they were deriving no benefit there from. It was pointed out to him that the Council had no jurisâ€" diction over this condition, which was regretted. ‘"Certainly," said. , Reeve Price, "It would obviously not be fair to issue another permit for the bridge site, after having already done so to another." Deputy Reeve Marshall elicâ€" ited the information that Mr. Rhodes was a resident of Winona Avenue in the City but was appearing for his son. | Mr. J.. Weech appeared _ before Council relative to the condition of the ancient Islington Cemetery, which he A large deputation appeared from the district in the vicinity of the Christie Bridge on Church Street, headed by Mr. Mason as the spokesâ€" man, though several others ‘spoke on the question. They sought the support of Council to their project for the reâ€" construction of the roadway in that section which involved the building of another bridge. It was pointed out that the present roadâ€"was dangerous, and Mr. Mason desired to know, "Who would be responsible in ‘the event of an accident at the point." Engineer McNichol pointed out that there were guard rails at the road _ sides, while it was conceded, that the curve at the bridge did present an element of danger.

Tenders Awarded For Improvement Works A complaint by Mr. F. Barrett in, regard to a hole in Fisher Avenue was referred to the Township Enginâ€" eer for immediate attention and preâ€" liminary byâ€"laws were approved for the construction of a concrete sideâ€" walk on Miller Avenue and for an 18 feet roadway from Strath Avenue to Fisher Road. To which Dr. Davidson rejoined "The time is past when we must think of roads in horse and buggy terms, and when. it is realized tgat I have paid possibly. some. $100,000 in taxes in the past /20 years, and yet cannot now get a decent road, there is no wonder we press our claims which have theâ€"support of this petition." Reeve Price pointed out that the scheme suggested would involve the expense. of .the construction of a new bridge,: which would have to be conâ€" sidered, as â€"he declaredâ€"‘"We know that the improvement would be an adâ€" vantage to: Etobicoke, none. betterâ€" but we must consider costs." In presenting his claims Dr. Davidâ€" son intimated that were this done he was convinced that the T. T.

Reeve Price suggested a brief adâ€" journment of the Council to view the situation. After viewing the grounds it was agreed that something be done and several suggestions were put forth, but the concensus of opinion was that an appeal to the descendants of those resting there should be apâ€" pealed to on the matter, with possibly some moiety of assistance being renâ€" dered by Council. There is considerâ€" able grass overgrowth and appearance of weeds in the plot to be eliminated, with this removed the beauty of the splendid trees and shrubs which grace the area would be brought out to better effect, than is apparent in its present state.

Accident on Queen‘s Drive An accident occurred on Friday, May 17th, on Queen‘s ‘Drive, when Thomas Stadey from Etobicoke, while driving in a Ford car going East on Queen‘s Drive at 5. 45 a.m. hit a milk truck, turning the truck over on its side.. It was found necessary to break the windâ€"shield to get the milkman out of the truck. The amount of damage to the truck was somewhere around twentyâ€"five dollars, while the Ford car was damaged to the extent of twentyâ€"five to thirty dollars. Neither of the men were hurt, but merely shaken up a bit.

Reid WEST YORK‘S NEWSY WEEKLY co|0]\ SING TF wWESTON, ONTARIO WEDNESDAY, MAY 22, 1929 In the years 1920â€"21, S. J. Totten was ‘chief of the Weston Volunteer Fire Brigade. . During his term _ of office, the Volunteer Fireman‘s Assoâ€" clation held its convention in Weston. The convention was a tremendous success, and has been termed "the most successful convention held by this association." He was chairman of the finance committee, which comâ€" mittee secured contributions amountâ€" ing to $3,500.00.â€" The large crowd «which gathered in the town for the convention proved a great stimulus to ‘business, and was the means of adverâ€" tising the town far and wide. The town made a grant of $1,000.00 to the local brigade ‘to assist it in making ia success of the convention, but, so He came to the Weston office of the ‘ Bell Telephone Company, as manager in 1910. The office was sitâ€" uated in FHill and Shiell‘s store, on Main St. N. At that time there were 168 â€"telephones in operation in the village. The staff consisted of S. J. Totten as manager, and one day and one night switchboard operators,. and one lineman. The company‘s business has expanded very rapidly. Many rural lines have been installed, takâ€" ing in Elmbank, Malton, and running north to Emory and out along the Third Concession, York. The buildâ€" ing at present occupied by the comâ€" pany was erected in 1924, and it houses an operating staff of 18, toâ€" gether with 40 plant employees, and much valuable equipment. There are 2,100 telephones now in use in the Town of Weston and district, a strikâ€" ing indication of the growth in popuâ€" lation and business in this district. _ He has served the municipality in many capacities. Weston was incorâ€" porated as a town in 1913, and he served on the first town council a> councillor. ~He served as councillor during the years 19183, (1916â€"21 inâ€" clusive, and during 1928. (In 1923 he was elected Deputyâ€"Reeve. _ He then spent five years on the trouble staff of the Bell Telephone Company in the City of Toronto. There were less than 5,000 telephones in the City of Toronto, at that time, and they were handled by three exâ€" changes. ‘One exchange was located in the Mail and Empire Building at the corner of Bay and King Streets, and it handled the telephone numbers from 1 to 3,000. The second exchange was suitated at the corner of Bloor and Yonge Streets, and the numbers from 3,000 to 5,000 were handled by this exchange. The third exchange was located in Parkdale and any numâ€" ber over 5,000 was handled through that office. Weston at that time was a small village, and boasted of three teleâ€" phones. The switchboard, a small afâ€" fair, necessarily, was installed in the store of the Weston Trading Comâ€" pany, at the corner of Main and Dufâ€" ferin Streets. The three persons hayâ€" ing telephone service were Doctors Charlton and Irwin, and G. M. Lyon, who operated a general store at the north end of the village. There were three hotels in the village at that time, and each hotel did a roaring business, as there was a great numâ€" ber of people continually travelling through Weston to Toronto. Meals were very reasonable and he recalls that he was able to hire a horse and rig for one dollar per day. He served as lineman for eighteen months, and then was sent on to the long distance trouble repair gang. In the next twelve years, he covered a great deal of the Province, engaged in the installation of phantom lines, which constitutes the installing of telegraphâ€"circuits inâ€"conjunction with the taking circuits. It was while he was engaged in this work, that he first came to Weston in 1895. boat was carrying many immigrants bound for the United States. On landâ€" ing in Canada, he came directly to Toronto, and joined the Bell Telephone Company as a lineman. S. J. Totten has completed his 36th year of service with the Bell Teleâ€" phone Company. (It is a record of serâ€" vice of which any man may well be proud. In his capacity as office manâ€" ager of the Bell Telephone Company, and as a private individual he has contributed much to the development of the Town of Weston. Born in the City of Belfast, Ireland, the son of Edward Totten, the superâ€" intendent of Morland Bros. Linen Mills, he received his education in the schools of that city. Belfast is the industrial metropolis of Ireland, and is noted for its linen mills, rope works, and shipâ€"building. â€" While at school, he jndulged in the games comâ€" mon to the Irish youth of his day, namely soccer and cricket. He sailed from Ireland to Canada on the 28th day of April, 1893, making the trip in eleven days on the S. S. Laurentian, a liner belonging to the Allen Line. It was the year of the World‘s Fair at Chicago, and he recalls that the Prominent Figures In Weston‘s History 3. J. TOTEEN Some time ago a number of proâ€" minent citizens thgught it would be well to have an ofganization in the town whose main idea lay in the serâ€" vice of the community and providing for the betterment of the town and which was purely nonâ€"sectarian and nonâ€"political in its character. Thus the Weston Rotary Club was formed. The organization required a man who considered his citizenship in a nation, his residence in a community and his business as an avenue for service, The name of S. J. Totten was proposed and he was unanimously elected as president of this organization. The keynote of S. J. Totten‘s life has been one of "Service" and it is indeed a fitting tribute to the man‘s ability and public spirit that he was elected preâ€" sident of the Weston Rotary Club. In politics he is a Conservative, beâ€" ing President of the local Liberalâ€" Conservative . Association. He is a director of and shareholder in the Weston Theatre Company, Ltd. . If was due, largely, to his foresight and energy that the theatre was built. Local High School Girl is Found Found working at a domestic posiâ€" tion in the city, Dorothy Snider, High School girl, who disappeared from Weston following a school session, was returned to her home in Downsâ€" view on Thursday. great a success did it prove that the brigade was able to return this conâ€" tribution to the town. S. J. Totten is prominent in fraâ€" ternal circles. He is a past president of the Weston Lawn Bowling Club. He has attained high distinction in the Masonic Order, being Past Mastâ€" er of the Mt. Dennis and Humber Maâ€" sonic Lodges, a 32nd degree Scottish Rite Mason, and past first Principal Humber Chapter. He is past Noble Grand of Weston Lodge No. 200, L.O. O.F., and Past Master No. 216 L.O.L. He is also Associate Patron, Order of the Eastern Star. When the new Masonic Hall, on Main St. N., was built, he was Chairman of the Buildâ€" ing Committee, and was elected as the first President of the Masonic Hall Board. It was finally agreed that a list of the names of those whom it was posâ€" sible to obtain should be made, and the decendants be appealed to in supâ€" port of the costs for reformation of the area, in the meantime Mr. Weech would devote some time and labour to the work of clearing some of the more rank grass growth, so that the risk of fire may to an extent be eliminated. It is confidently expected that this suggestion will find a ready response from all those having relatives, howâ€" ever distant, reposing in the plot will be only too willing to extend every effort to clean up the plot, when the facts of the state of affairs are made known to those implicated. Headed by Reeve J. Ray Price all members of the Coucil visited the plot and agreed that it did appear a shame that the area should be allowâ€" ed to exist in its present state, but were averse to persuing any course that involved public funds, notwithâ€" standing that the suggestion was made that a fund be started by Counâ€" cil to which subscriptions would be inâ€" vited, as one means towards aiming at an improvement of the plot.. 4 A short time ago the matter of the taxation or lack of it as applied to cemetery areas was under review in an informal discussion held between members of the Council of the Townâ€" ship of Etobicoke, and which no deâ€" cision was arrived at in regard to any prospective action on the matter the situation is still considered as vital to the welfare of the taxpayers of this and other municipalities, placed in like cireumstances. * There was another phase of cemetâ€" ery upkeep brought to the attention of the Council at their meeting on Monâ€" day when Mr. J. Weech reported that the old Islington Cemetery was in a disreputable state, being overgrown with long grass and weeds, which wereâ€"~tendingâ€"toâ€"detractâ€"fromâ€"the otherwise pleasing appearance of the splendid trees and the many ancient headstones and other monuments.

"The Twentyâ€"Fourth of May Is the Queen‘s birthday ; And if you don‘t give us a holiday We‘ll all run away. This slogan was shouted with force and evident determination by all school children of several decades ago. What is known as Victoria Day to children of the present day was called the Queen‘s birthday until the death of Good Queen Victoria in 1901. Evâ€" ery community had its picnic and but few dared venture beyond a threeâ€" mile limit. A committee of young men and women was appointed to arrange for the day‘s outing, and a shaded grove or bush, as it was usually termâ€" ed, was selected, a platform for dancâ€" ing erected and music was furnished by a local fiddler.

The Clergyman classification diffâ€" ers from all others in the ‘Club in that they deal with material things which can be handled, while he has to do with the physical and ethical, with that intangible and indefinable thing called human nature. He has to deal with man‘s relation to that God in whom we all believe as our Creator, Saviour and Supreme Judge. As a Preacher his duty is to interpret the Scriptures in such a way that his felâ€" lowmen may better understand the will of God. As one who leads in Pubâ€" lic Worship he must himself have a humble and reverent attitude of |soul that those in the service of the sancâ€" tuary may be brought into fellowship with one another and with God. But it is as a Pastor that he becomes all things to all men that he may by all means help some. It is in this capacity that he really is what the name "Minâ€" ister" implies, namely, a servant. It is here that he is all the day and for seven days in the week a true Rotarâ€" ian in that his time, energy, and strength are given in service to othâ€" ers. (Mr. Forbes pointed out how, of neâ€" cessity, every clergyman has to preach and much time must be spent in preâ€" paring two discourses a week for fifâ€" tyâ€"two weeks in the year. Even though every one be not a greater preacher yet every Minister must one hundred and four times a year conduct a serâ€" vice of public worship, which, propâ€" erly done, is a much more difficult thing than preaching a sermon. The Rotary Club of Weston listenâ€" ed to an address somewhat out of the usual at their regular meeting on Wednesday. True, it was a "Classified Talk" by one of their own members, but his classification was that of Clergyman. The address was given by the Rev. G. Ernest Forbes and when he was through some of the members had slightly changed their views as to the work of a Clergyman and the way in which his weekâ€"days are ocâ€" cupied. . g‘;‘}* «; ROTARY oo ocms IG At your label.

"This is a great night for the Scotch and I am one on both sides of the house, said Dr. Jackson. "Your remarkable reception overwhelâ€" med me. Your association is one of the important links in that great imâ€" portant business of supplying Toronto with pure milk. Toronto milk supply is the best on the continent.
