Under Chamberlains personal direcâ€" tion a large electric pump was brought into operation. The tank was opened ;) the water could run out, and it was tlong time after the body was found York Township police summoned by telephone, responded at once in the police flier, bringing with them the station‘s pulmotor. Later the life savers arrived.© Inspectorâ€" Dickson and P. C. McAndy jumped into the rescue effort as soon as they arrived, and with the use of a longâ€"handled rake began searching for the body. The boy‘s father, who was standing on the verandah of his home, saw his boy disappear, and ran over finding the two men swimming around in the vat endeavouring to locate the boy. a&he lit@le fellow was playing on the walls of fhe vats of the disposal plant in Tory.â€"UGlen. It was noon hour and the employees were having their lunch and watching the lad chase his pet pigeon along the walls. One of the men called to him in jest to get some galt and put it on the bird‘s tail. The lad, taking it in earnest, ran along the narrow concrete towards his home which is a few hundred feet from the plant. The men sat watching him unâ€" til all of a sudden the boy fell and disappeared behind the concrete reâ€" taining wall. Fred Knowles and Joe Muirhead jumped to their feet and dashed towards the vat.. When they reached the spot where the boy had disappeared they saw nothing but a slight disturbance in the water. While playing in the yard o6f the Mount Dennis sewage disposal plant round one o‘clock Friday, July 12th, Arthur Chamberlain, 7 year old son of Superintendent of the plant, Charles Char:herlain, fell over a piece of steel on the retaining wall of one of the vats and plunged headlong into the waters of the pool.

It is enough to state that they presented the ideals of the order in a clear conâ€" cise manner that place the true posiâ€" tion of the members before the pubâ€" lic. The following is a report on part of what was said. In his remarks, Mr. Finlay remindâ€" ed his hearers that the order they represented was not emblematic of bigotry as so often charged. "We ‘ofâ€" fer the same privileges to the Roman Catholies as we have ourselves if they will take them. Surely there is no bigotry in that." Mr. Morri-s,fitzgking the stand, callâ€" ed on John R. Finlay, past county master, to be master of ceremonies. The lodges parading tne route of march, from High Park assembly ground, along Bloor to Runnymede, thence to Dundas and Keele, and back to High Park via Annette Street. hear the various bands as they playâ€" ed along the route of march. Applauâ€" se was well deserved as those in the parade merited it. Those in charge of affairs are indeed to be congratulated upon the splendid presentation made of the order and what it stands for. It is a day that will be long rememâ€" bered in the county lodges and should do much to place the ideals and prinâ€" cipals of the Orange Order before the people general. Orange organizations are not always understood but we owe a lot to this same body of men. It was one of the greatest days n the history of Orangism in this old historic county of York. Large repâ€" resentation from every lodge in the county with colors flying, banner unâ€" furled and bands playing under a beautiful blue sky made this possible. Many of the homes and stores along the route of parade were decorated but West Toronto lost a golden opâ€" portunity to add more color. The streets were lined with people and thousands watched the parade as it passed along the main streets of this part of the city. Those who saw the: parade in the morning down town and the local parade were loud in their praise for the West York county turnâ€" out. The dress and colors and general uniformity added considerable to the dignity of the parade. Each lodge was keen on making the best showing posâ€" sible. This was especially true of the ladies who spent thought and time preparing their color schemes, sun shades and marching order. They did it well and made a real showing. It was a very pretty sight to see all these colors marching up the hollow’ 9& Bloor Street.

Phone 26 VLUME 29, NUMBER 36 While Chopping wood on his father‘s farm, MacDougal Ave., last Tuesday, Wilbert Watt suffered severe injuries to his right hand when he cut it with the axe he was using. Young Watt, it appears, was engaged in cutting up some wood and in some manner brought the axe down on the back of his hand cutting it through and also severing the thumb very badly. He was rushed to the surgery of Dr. W. J. Charlton where it found necessary to use fifteen stitches to draw the wound together. Latest reports are to the efâ€" fect that the injury is mending quite satisfactorily. The pall bearers at the funeral inâ€" cluded some who had been last playâ€" mates of the deceased in the area, being Jack Screen, Art. Bonham, Sedâ€" rich Fox and W. Knowles. The funâ€" eral arrangements were taken care of by Flynn Brothers, with the interment taking place in Prospect cemetery. YOUTH SEVERS HAND WHILE CHOPPING WOOD The ceremony was very largely attended by condoling residents of the surrounding area, whose wonderful floral tributes presented a marked display of sincere regard to the memâ€" ory of the little tot so suddenly called to his death. Amongst those who attended were Reeve E. G. Westbury, Deputy Reeve A. E. Baker, Councillor Ralph Russell and other members of the York Township Council and adâ€" ministrative staffs. The funeral took place on Monday last, from the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. Chamberlain at Symes Road, Mount Dennis, of little Arthur Lewis Chamberlain, aged seven years, who lost his life on Friday the 12th inst. by accidental drowning at the disposal plant of the Township of York, situate at Rockeliffe Boulevard, jus‘iinorth of the C.N.R. Electric Railâ€" road. that the tank was empty. In their rush to release the waters of the tank the men accidentally allowed the water to flood the dynamo room of the plant and two dynamos were temâ€" porarily put out of commission. The award â€" for "the bestâ€"dressed store" on the route of march went to Joy‘s Hardware, on Dundas Street, and 124 High Park avenue was voted the prettiest decorated residence en route. A full program of sports was run off successfully, and at 7.30 p.m. the great gathering /was willing to call it "the biggest day" in West York history. The best Young Britton lodge on parade was Young Britons 92. Special reference should be made to "No Surâ€" render" (Orange juvenile) Lodge in winning the award for their class. This prize was presented to the winâ€" ners by A. J. Anderson, M.P., the juveniles responding enthusiastically with their lodge "call." The prize for the "best L.O.L. turnout" went to Mcâ€" Cormack, 2142 closely followed by the very excellent showing of J. R. Finâ€" lay Sr. Lodge, 2734, with their 46â€" piece band. % W. A. Baird, K.C., M.P.P. (West York), and P.G.M. W. B. Britton (O.Y.B.) also spoke. The Chairman, or. Bro. J. R. Finlay, J.P., called varâ€" ious Orange notables to the platform, among whom were: Alderman Wadsâ€" worth; Exâ€"Alderman Ryding, Ward 7; Deputy Reeve I. Willner, York Counâ€" ty; P.G.M. or. Bro. Bull, and Deputy County Master Ransson. Many Cups Awarded There were many features crowded into this big affair which are diffiâ€" cult to record with any sequence. For example, a fine silver cup "for the oldest member of our order _ on the grounds" was awarded to J. W. Denâ€" yes, 705 Windermere Avenue. The gentleman _ was 80 years and 9 months. "King Billy," in the person of Charlie Stuart, 13 Rutherford Aveâ€" nue, did some effective work with his 1,850â€"pound prancing, almost milkâ€" white charger. A group of silver cups was awarded for the various "bestâ€" dressed" lodges, McCormick, No. 191, winning for the L.O.B.A., and Westâ€" ern Star, No. 396, being awarded the silverware for the L. T. B. class. "The O.Y.B. is the greatest recruiâ€" ter we have for the Orange Order," he declared. J. Earl Lawson, M. P., past master of the O.Y.B., commented on the virâ€" ility displayed by the order after 300 years, when there were still so many thousands to espouse the cause. He told of the siege of Derryâ€"how thirâ€" teen young apprentices had held the gates and saved the city, their deeds being commemorated by O.Y.B. A. J. Anderson, K.C., M.P.:â€" "Our aim is to keep our people and our country close to the British ideals and the British Crown. Canada stands first among British Dominions in many ways.

Next Saturday the Senior Boys go to camp and the following Saturday the girls go. Parents and friends of the campers may visit them at any time, but Wednesdays have been set apart as "visitors‘ days." Two of the local boys‘ «workers, Gordon Forbes and Cliff Mertens who were unable to be present for the week spent the week end at the camp and report a very large registration with about one hundred and fifty regâ€" istered. There are some twenty tents with seven or eight boys in each. The tents are under the personal supervisâ€" ion of experienced leaders, one leadâ€" er being in charge of each tent. Earl Lautenslager, the popular field secreâ€" tary of the Ontario Boys‘ Work Board is the Camp Director and Rev. G. Ernest Forbes of Westminster Unitâ€" ed Church has been an energetic and untiring worker and is present at the camps. Mr. F. C.

YORK COUNTY CAMP3 ARE NOW UNOERWAY It was finally agreed that a conâ€" ference will be held with the members of the Council and the Commission on the matter, with the possibility of a further conference with the officials of the Department of Provincial Highâ€" way on the possibilities of the serâ€" vice being rendered by private conâ€" cerns. This conference will be held as soon as possible in the meantime the T.T.C. will be led to understand what the situation is in the section as a reâ€" sult of the meeting of Council with Reeve Westbury pointed out. that the T.T.C., were operating under a deâ€" ficit which was being paid by Toronto citizens. To this the deputation objectâ€" ed and said that the story of the T.T. C., was "sheer bluff." The reeve inâ€" sisted, stating that the treasurer of the council had full access to _ the books of the T.T.C. It was felt by members of Council that the citizens did have some grounds of grievance in the facts as presented, which were placed with an intimation that if no reforms were inâ€" stituted an injunction would be placed against the Commission and a request made for the operation of the service by a private organization. . This deputation met the Council in session at the Council Chambers on Monday evening last, when a represenâ€" tative of the Highway Department was also present in the person of Mr. Urquart. In the presentation of their claims the deputation asked that a twelve minute service be . granted through the rush hours with an apâ€" proximate twenty minutes service through the remainder of the day, the first bus to operate at 6 a.m., and the last to leave Keele Street at 12.30 midnight. § Some comment was made in these columns regarding the service that was being rendered to the citizens of the Lambton Park and Warren Park areas by the present T.T.C., system. Subsequent to this review the citizens through their ratepayers associations have held several meetings where conâ€" siderable discussion has taken place on the matter, culminating in the creaâ€" tion of a deputation to present their claims before Council of the Township of York. j _ _Donald S.

Ald. Wadsworth, taking up the thread of Mr. Trethewey‘s remarks, also paid a warm tribute to the late Count De Lesseps. as he spoke of his marked faith which he evinced in the future of the airplane, not alone in his exâ€" pressed opinion, but by his persistent use of the plane mode of travel up until his lamentable death. In the course of his remarks of tribute to the late Count, Mr. Tretheâ€" wey touched on his work as a pioneer in two spheres of engineering, in which Canada and the Empire had by his efforts been enriched, but paid particular reference to his work as pilot of the first heavier than air machine that ever flew over the city of Toronto, some nineteen years ago. _ Perhaps the most notable visitor, however, was Mr. Guy De Lesseps, son of the late Count De Lesseps, renowned as the pioneer aeronaut of this district, in fact, of the Dominion of Canada. Mr. Guy De Lesseps was introduced by Mr. F. L. Trethewey to the assembling party, immediately following his having taken a short trip in a Moth piloted by Mr. Capreol. In paying a most touching tribute to the late Count, Mr. Trethewey spoke of the Company having invited Mrs. De Lesseps to officiate at the ceremony of reâ€"naming the drome, then read a brief letter of regret of her inability to attend, but introducing Mr. Guy, just out from college at Brantford. Visiting from the De Haviland Corâ€" poration whose plant is located upon the drome were General Manager R. A. Loader and Mr. E. Leigh Capreol, Chief Instructional Officer of the latâ€" ter firm and other associates of this pioneer organization of the light plane in Britain and in Canada. Mr. Capâ€" reol officiated in taking several ladies of the party on brief flights, which in many instances were their first exâ€" perience. Comfortably ensconced in and around a large marquee were the ladies, while officials and associates interested in the business that was toward, strolled around introducing friends to the various features of this latest drome and pointing out to them the wonderful attractions and extolâ€" ling advantages of the services which it was installed to render to this proâ€" gressive age. Amongst those partiâ€" cularly noticed were Col. D. J. Joy, of Aircrafts, Limited, Mr. F. L. Trethâ€" wey, a director of the company, with Mr. Stevens and many others intimatâ€" ely connected with the company. _ Both Mr. and Mrs. MacNicol are enâ€" joying %ood health, and we trust that they will be spared for many years yet to enjoy health and happiness together. Out of a family of nine children, eight are living toâ€"day, three daughters and five sons. Mayor Donald MacNicâ€" ol of New Jersey is a son and while unable to be present on the Anniverâ€" sary, sent good wishes and congratuâ€" lations. John MacNicol, the popular President of the Conservative Associaâ€" tion for the Province of Ontario is anâ€" other son, and three others, James, who is a civil engineer in Toronto, Jack, also of Toronto, and George, who is connected with the McAvoy Aco., of New Brunswick, all tendered congratuâ€" lations to the venerable couple on the happy occasion. Twin daughters, Mrs. E. Fielding and Mrs. B. C. Sills, reside in Windsor, and another daughter, Mrs. H. A. Clark resides in Toronto. There are also six grandchildren. History was once again made on the Trethewey ‘property "just off to the northeast corner of Mount Dennis on Monday last, when the popular local aerodrome was mildly enâ€"fete with a splendid sprinkling of ladies bewitchâ€" ingly attired in colourful costumes in seasonable keeping with the delightful afternoon weather to grace the occaâ€" sion that marked the inauguration of the new air mail service between Toâ€" ronto, and Canada‘s greatwest and the vast southern area of the United States, radiating: from the city of Detroit.

Both Mr. and Mrs. MacNicol are Canadian born and have resided in Weston for some years. Mrs. MacNicol was the only daughter of the late John R. and Mrs. Dunseath and was born on the 10th Concession, Markham in 1849.

The Bell Telephone Company it is understood are agreeable in putting forth their proposition that the hands A person now paying for one mile will be reduced $24.00 per year, if Inâ€" dividual, and $14.40 if Two Party. It is suggested that this material reducâ€" tion should enable existing and new subscribers to obtain direct Toronto services if really required, and at the same time will leave the Weston bounâ€" dary unchanged as it will extend to the Black Creek. The suggested revision entails the creation of an area termed by the Bell _ Telephone Company an ‘exâ€" change‘ line, which in this instance will embrace that portion of Mount Dennis area between the southern limâ€" its of the Town of Weston and the present base line at the Black Creek. The Effect of the Revision of Charges The efect of doing this, so it is pointed out, on Mount Dennis will be to reduce the mileage charge to Toâ€" ronto for an Individual line from $2.50 per month to 75 cents, for those withâ€" in 4 mile of the Black Creek and from a $1.50 to 45 cents if Two Parâ€" ty. This is a reduction of $21.00 per year for Individual and $12.60 for Two Party lines. f Councillor Ralph Russell sensed this situation and as a result put forth his resolution, based upon the lines as suggested by the phone company which embraced certain reforms in the charges, as embodied in a communicaâ€" tion rcently received from them by the Council, and made public through the columns of this publication. York Township Council Accept the Bell Company Suggestion Notwithstanding that there was a suggestion to the end of calling a pubâ€" lic mass meeting in Mount Dennis, so that the general viewpoint of the pubâ€" lic should be obtained on the course as suggested by the Bell Telephone Company, the resolution was placed before Council by Councillor Russell, no doubt induced from the fact that there, was an evidence of futility in the possibility of getting a fully repâ€" resentative gathering of citizens at any one meeting, and the matter would only be, futher prolonged by the holding of a series of meetings. It would appear that the citizens of the district of Mount Dennis are at last to derive some benefit from the negotiations which have been under way for some considerable time in reâ€" gard to the telephone rate situation, as a result of the resolution which was placed before the York Township Council at their sessionâ€" on Monday last, by Councillor Ralph Russell of this section of Ward Two.>=\â€"â€"~=â€" TRE MOUNT DENNIG _ PHONF STUATION HURRY!
