IN THE MATTER of the Petition of William Richardson and others of the Township of North York, in the County of York, to dissolve Union School Section Number 21, in the Township of North York, and in the Town of Weston. To the County Council of the County of York: We, the undersigned, the Arbitraâ€" tors appointed by the Warden of the County of York, on Friday, June 21st, 1929, pursuant to a Resolution passed by the County Council of the County of York, on the 21st day of June, 1929, beg to report as follows: Your Arbitrators, after considering the matter very carefully, find that the Ratepayers of the Township of North York in Union School Section No. 21, are forced to send a majority of their children from a mile to a mile and a quarter to attend the Unâ€" ion School. ‘ We also find that the Ratepayern of the said Township of North Yor: in Union School Section No. 21, are favourable to carry the cost of a new school in their own section.

Another Important Letter. This second letter is also an imporâ€" tant communication received by our board. It shows the position that the new board are taking in reference to the new high school now being built. This came as a surprise to the Wesâ€" ton board because it was generally understood when permission was givâ€" en by the Weston representatives for the building of the first high school in York that they would not come any further West. It however is done and the following letter shows just what position the Weston high school is in. The Board appreciate very fully the excellent educational . facilities that have been provided by your Board and by your school in‘ the past years to the pupils resident in the Township, but, as you are fully aware, the growâ€" ing demand for secondary education in the last few years has made it necessary for the establishment and building of . secondary schools, of our own in the different Wards of the Township. . : oo 02 t Dated the 27th day of June, A.D. 1929, at the City of FToronto, in the County of York.

Previous contests, run on a similar: line, have always been accorded a hearty response by our many readers, but the Editor was kept busier than ever this time sorting, filing, and arâ€" ranging the answers which poured inâ€" to the office from Wednesday evening until Saturday noon in answer to the competition. That the paper is being read by the people of Weston and is proving an effective medium of reachâ€" ing the people was wellâ€"demonstrated by the host of answers which were sent in during the contest. The anâ€" swers, too, all showed that considerâ€" able time and energy had been spenc upon the solyving of the problem, and that every page of the paper had been carefully seanned in an effort to loâ€" cate those elusive little "$" signs which were seattered throughout the WESTOWANIS CAMP VESPER SFRV columns. Second Period of Camp is Makâ€" ing a Great Impression on the Boys On Sunday evening at Westowanis camp there â€"was gathered a groupe that was indeed very insviring. Picâ€" ture 60 boys with as many friends and parents seated in the open under the great big trees. Off to the West through these trees and up the valley the sun was sinking fast. You know the colors and the effect. On the steps of the main hall stood the camp leader Jack Meikle with Lorine Dalton at the piano. Such was the picture and the setting for the vesâ€" per service at the camp last Sunday night. How those hymns of praise did ring out from that groupe. Also, the clear note from Ernie Dalton‘s Solo and The Sweet soprano voice of Mrs. McKerhin were very impressive in the open stillness. Mr. Love and Jack assisted in the service while the Rev. Mr. Griffith of Humbercrest church gave a very timely talk to the boys on the great things of life. Don Hull the Assistant closed the service with the great Indian prayer. Every one present was touched by the atmosphere of the camp. There was a silent spirit present that imâ€" pressed each as they took part in that evening vesper. Will it have its effect? That depends upon the individual as was so well stated by the speaker of the evening "each perâ€" son has the power to say ves or no in the matter of the effect." § Speaking of the camp _ generally we might say from the observation that it is one of the finest pieces of Prize Winners Announced in Novelty "Dollar Day" Contest of Times & Guide Secondâ€"Miss Kathleen Marksâ€"917 Elias Street, London, Canada.
