First, they will ride down the Main street in a bus and, secondly, they will be able to do just that for free. Yes, from 7.00 p.m. unti}l eleven p.m. the TTC, the town of Weston and the township of York have agreed that all is for nothingâ€"for four hoursâ€"just to give the residents &n‘ opportunity of finding out how this system works. Even those who are fortunate enough to own and drive their own car would do well to take advantage of these free rides, because you can be sure it will never happen, againâ€"not as long as Weston has a municipal debt, at least.

At the conclusion of the sheep classes judging this week, several new champions had been crowned. John Gardhouse and Sons of Weston won two championships and two reserve ribbons in Lincoln sheep judging. His entries won ribbons for the best ram and best ewe.

The trustees were able, however, to rent the Legion hall on Irwin avenue to add another classroom | which would accomâ€" madate grades one to five inclusive. The school then consisted of three oneâ€"room buildings and â€" three teachers. About siteen years ago, more accommodation was needed and it was found necessary to build a oneâ€" storey brick building on College street. The school was built in the style of a house with the idea that it could be sold as such when it was no longer needed for school use.

In 1874, all classes were held in a oneâ€"room frame school house and in 1907 this *ture was moved to Albion Road Where it was placed on a stone foundation and bricked.

RESIGNS The concerts this year have been enjo{:d by a ltuby increasing number of Weston citizens, howâ€" ever the attendance is far from what it should be to support the efforts of such a fine musical orâ€" &miuuon. The Silver Band under the baton of Mr. George Sainkbury in past years has won quite a numâ€" ber of awards in comrtltlom. esâ€" Eo:hlly ht the Canadian National hibition. This fine band deserves ’mhr support by the community or their encouragement in the splendid work that they are doing. As it has done in all past conâ€" certs, the Weston Silver pBand beâ€" gan their final progrant of the seaâ€" son with their theme, the hymn tune "A Mighty Fortress is Our God." The programme included varied types of music, fantasia, march, variations, sona and hymn tune. Some of the nu played by the band were: "Memories of the Opera," a group of opera tunes; the hymn tune "Crimomd," which was requested by Princess Elizabeth at her weddinll; the fanâ€" tasia, "Recollections of Ireland"; march, "Colonel Bogey"; and vaâ€" riations on ‘"The Old Rustic Bridge." A selection "The Jester" featured a trombone solo by George McCaul. Also on the programme a euphorlium solo, "Down on the Farm." The concluding selection was "Minstrel Memories." On Wednesday evening. Sept. 1, the Weston Silver Band presented the final concert of their summer series. It is unfortunate that the Oshawa Band which we had planâ€" ned to welcome on Sept. 15 will be unable to play for us at this time. The engagement has proved imâ€" possibleg)s the date conflicts with i}w opening of the Oshawa Fall air. Weston Silver Band Plays In Final Concert Three Cuys later at 8 a.m., neighbours happened to be passing the house at 28 Highview when they noticed a fire in the upper floor and turned in an alarm. There was noone home at the time as the residents were away at a cottage. Chief McGinnis stated that from $100‘to $150 damage reâ€" sulted befors the fire was put out. The ladies of the Weston Leathâ€" ereraft Guild were on duty. as hostesses, on Wednesday, atâ€" the CanwWdian ‘Handicrafts Center at the C.N.E. The Guild offers heartiest conâ€" gratulations to M«.

Mr. Muma was the guest speaker at the Guild‘s April mceting, and will we hope, be on hand for the Septemâ€" ber meeting to continue his interâ€" esting lecture on the coloring of Decorative Leatherraft.

For the same Guild entry there was also a Bronze Medal awarded, which will become ths permanent possession of the Guild, and with the shield will be placed in a posâ€" ition of honor in our Guild workâ€" room when the Recreation Arena has been completed.

The Guides had rain one evening and during the part of one day, but otherwise it was sunny and very hot. The Guides enioyed such activities as early morning bird hikes under the supervision of Miss Barbara Brown. Handcrafts such as shell wo“k taught by Mrs. Katie Robson, who brough® the ells, ete., from the Bahamas. Blueprinting, leaf printâ€" fhg and sketching were also popular.. Some of the girls also took time out from their m\Mflu to take nictures of camp which The camp was known as "The Camp of the Never, Never, Never Land," taking the theme from J. M. Barrie‘s ‘Peter Pan.‘ Thus the officers were known _as Pan, Wendy, Nana, Tinker Bell, John and Michael and the five patrols as the Redskins, Fairies, Mermaids, Lost Boys and Pirates., The camp commandant was Miss Edith Moor assisted by Miss Gwen French and Miss Barbara Brown. The Quarterâ€" master was Miss Joy Webber, assisted by Miss Helen Hurd and Mrs. Katie Robson. Miss Gwen French was in charge of the Guides from Nassau, assistâ€" ed by Mrs.‘Katie Robson and Miss Barbara Brown. The group travelâ€" led by air from Nassau to Miami and from there to Toronto by train. Shirley MciIntyre, Evelyn Barton and Margaret Turner met the tuides from Nassau on the morâ€" ning of their arrival. The other Gurdes made their acquaintance at St. Clair station on the morning of their departure for camp.

L Thorépson, Warden, County of York, 57 Adelaide St. E., Toronto 1, Ont. Dear Mr. Thompson: I have your letter of August 27th advising me of the background of the road construction working being undertaken by the town of Weston. I note also that tenders have been called for this. My office reports to me that they have been in touch on two occaâ€" sions with the Canada Cement Company, which advises that it is not in a position at the present time to help out. The company is under very great pressure just now because of largeâ€"scale developments, such as Ontario and Quebec Hydro projects, and it is extremely difficult for them to make large quantities available for special contracts. I do see the officers from time to time and shall be glad to mention this to them on the next occasion. | ,, _ I know you will appreciateâ€"theâ€"eircumstances. You will also appreâ€" ciate the fact that cement is, neither under control or allocation. During the depression, it was impossible to find the necessary means to do the work, and during the war, it was impossible to find the materials. May I assure you that it is only on account of the extreme urgency that I urge your coâ€"operation in this matter. I fully appreciate that your duties are extremely arduous and that this is only one of the many Il;undrgds of requests wgich you receive during the course of a very usy day. * As of yesterday‘s date, the town of Weston called for tenders in connection with the rebuilding of the road and anything you may do to assist the town to secure a minimum of 15000 barrels of cemant in T x E It is indeed gratifying to the of Weston to see the progress that is being made on the pre! work prior to the reâ€"surfacing and widening (of certam portions} of Weston‘s Main St. It is also natural that the citizens of the town should be anxious to see some concrete evidence (on behalf of council) of action on this most imâ€" portant piece of work that has been under discussion for the past two or three years. But the citizens must also remember that a o&l;ogsct of this nature and the vast sums involved (ltho!h‘lltel{ $600,000.00) reâ€" quires a Jrnt deal of thought u:ddhnnin‘ by your elected representaâ€" tives and the combined brains experience of the town and other engineers. While the Times and Guide at times have been of the opinion that the town fathers have been excessively slow on their action in this project, we, along with many thinking people of the town, have realized that there are mnnly obum{u in the way at this time which delay a quick completion of the project. We have consistently contacted the town engineer and various members of council for a report on the progress of the Main St. development but have been courteously put off for one reason or another. However, this week we are able to present some correspondence between the Reeve and the Minister of Reconâ€" struction .n§° Supgly that will no doubt clarify the position of the town council, and the obstacles that they are meeting, in their effort to comâ€" plete this work at the earliest possible moment. The following letters are selfâ€"explanatory and will possibly divert some of the criticism fronk\ our town fathers in the delay and subsequent completion of this work. As you are no doubt aware, this road forms an important link in the Arterial Road System in the western part of the county. No. 1, Equipment Depot, RCAF, is located at the north end of the town of Weston and the road to Malton Airport bisécts this road. It is a road extensivel{ used for access to and egress from the western portion of the citg of Toronto and a large percentage of the livestock transported from the western and northern part of the province passes through our town en route to the Union Stock Yards. The transport companies doâ€" ing business throughout the same area also make an extensive use of this thoroughfare. â€" _ â€" The road is in a deplorable condition and by next spring will be im{zassablt. We are receiving criticism from all over the province as well as throughout the riding of West York as to our lack of initiative to attempt to remedy the situation. assist the town to secure a minimum of 15,000 barrels of cement in grder that the work may be proceeded with, will be greatly appreciated y me. * The Right Honourable C. D. Howe, House of Commons, + Ottawa, Canada. Dear Sir: I am sorry that I did not have the privilege of an interview with you when I was in Ottawa last week. M.{.el thank your department for the coâ€"operation I received from Mr. MacLean and others of your staff and I appreciate very much the efforts you are making on my behalf. The town of Weston proposes to expend the sum of $600,000 to reâ€" ‘)uild the main street. Approximately g100,000 of this expenditure is recoverable from the County of York. _ _ _ _ â€" KLT:e "WEST YORK‘S NEWSY WEEKLY"* W oodbridge Westmount â€" Humber Heights Letters Evidence Of Council‘s Activity On Mainâ€"St. â€"Project THURSDAY, After returning to Toronto the Guides were entertained to luncheon and a tour of the city of Toronto by the Toronto Area Headâ€" quarters, .

At this campfire the uides of the 54th Company preâ€" sented each of the Guides from Nassau with a Canadian Guide Friendship pin. _ â€" Campfires are an important part of every camp. Their camptires were held by the old mill pond, on their own campsite . of Cory Corners and down By the lake under the cedars. Folk songs of other lands and particularly trom the Bahamas were very popular around the campfire. One evening while holding a campfire at the beach a camp of older Guides also camping at Bonita Glen thrilled the girls with their campfire held about 100 feet out in the lake, using & raft, especially constructed for the purpose to hold the campâ€" fire. On their last evening in camp, Bery! Hiles of the 106th Company, and Mizpah Carey of the 1st Nassau Company built a beauiful campfire in the shape of the Guide Trefoil on the beach. After the flames had died away the embers were raked‘ around to fill the Trefoil and they watched the should prove interesting when they are developed and printed, Music and dancing were an added part of the program this year. During any part of the days activities, and particularly during rest periods, the record player was used and classsical and semiâ€"classical music could be heard around the campâ€" site. On two evenings the Guides enjoyed folk dancing, the first in the old barn and the second on the lawn dancing in bare feet until after dark. Perhaps the part of camp most enjoyed by the Guides was the %?iet hours spent in the ‘Chapel in the Cedars.‘ There they had "Guides Own" on Sunday mornings and early on the Monday morning, previous to leaving camp, the Anglican minister from Hawkeâ€" stone celebrated holy communion in the chapel.

You must realize that it is rather difficult to deal properly with this subject in the limited time at my disgonl. One _ should examine the historical background of a community such as Weston to fully understand its importance and growth. The main reason for Weston being established in its present location is the fact that water power was available from the Humber river and suitable timber was in the area, conâ€" sequently grist mills and saw millu‘ sprang up and a community soon developed around it. The ancient route of the fur traders between Holland Landing and Lake Ontario passed through the present site of Weston.
