Great strides have been made, the reduction in fatalities and serious acciâ€" dents has been beyond the conception of those who desire to see industrial accidents ut â€"down. As this is true, it therefore beâ€" C omes imperitive that further attention r6uld be directed to the number of accidents and fatalities that take place in the home. With all the modern gadgets and equipment that is used in the home there has been a big increase in accidents. It means that individuâ€" als should become conversant with all ways nd means to prevent accidents and proper use of the various new gadgets that are being introduced every day in the home life. _ At the meeting of the York County Council ‘plans suggest to the amalgamation comâ€" were reviewed. They are as follows: _ An administrative body, which would be + Â¥n as the Greater Toronto Metropolitan rd, would have an equal number of memâ€" from the city and the 12 suburban mu ities plus representatives of the j io Government. It would be these proâ€" representatives that would control the ‘balance of power. The mayor of Toronto and the warden of York County would be ex officio members. YMCA AND YMCA CAMPAIGN I8S THIS THE SOLUTION? The board would have authority to take over and operate in the metropolitan area and, from time to time as need arises in additional areas to be defined, the following : ‘(a) All facilities for water supply and distriâ€" bution to the municipal distributing â€" _ systems. This would involve transferring to the board all intakes, wells, main pumping stations, trunk mains, trunk $ reservoirs, and pressure tanks. (b) All sanitary and storm trunk sewers and sewage disposal plants. (e) All garbageâ€" disposal arrangements, _ . other than those for collection of garbage. The board would have jurisdiction over all Mgnvays designated by it as roads and main city arteries of the metropolitan system; over all transportation facilities; over all planning, land use and green belt areas. Character built on sound foundation is the greatest asset any nation can invest in. For over a hundred years the YMCA has been a on an efle%;ive program for the nt of such characters.

There are things which we all can do, no mistake. They aren‘t very dramatic or heroic, and we‘ll never know whether the particular thing that we did was important or not. So let‘s talk about some of the things that the average person can do to prevent tuberculosis, or if you want to put it another way, to make money spent on tuberculosis prevention go farther. YOU CAN HELP YOURSELF There must be quite a few people with a thrifty streak which makes them say to themselves ‘"That money raised for TB preâ€" vention would go farther and get its job done more quickly if everybody were doing what they could on their own to check tuberâ€" culosis. I wonder what I could do that would make that money I contributed go farther, or shorten the time when we have to work so hard at prevention ?" mmfmm‘l\oofllflnfiq which housed the meat market, the grocery store, and the boot store for years, ovudatoutfiubwcmmn rgrclprd TiA hag hareh ce Ceganch‘ is now a fi?odufmntyi&thcstom and bank office facing the Main Street, with commodious and well fitted offites upstairs, a new asset to the town of Weston has been created. When these stores are occupied, lights and merchandise displayed the Four Corners will take on another great centre for shoppers. Those responsible for this remodelâ€" ling are to be congratulated on the results they have obtained. _ â€" 8 Now it geems downright inglorious to sugâ€" gest that you might prevent a case of tuberâ€" culosis by getting enough sleepâ€"but a numâ€" ber of people might not be in sanatorium toâ€"day if they had taken rest in sufficiently large and regular doses. 2l With the taking down of the scaffold work and the opening of the Royal Bank office May we ask you,â€" can you name this young lady ? She is 19, or 20, or maybe 21 or 22. She may not be any Helen of Troy but she is still very pleasant to look upon, and she has an agreeable way with her. She is a pretty good dancer, likes to ski and skate, and play tennis in summer. She has a job too. Just a nice, normal girl _ _ _ 80 She has to be on the job at nine. Morning is certainly a race, though, because what with getting home so late she is sleepy as all get out, and finds it almost more than she can bear to obey the alarm clock. She just manages to make itâ€"but by doing without any breakfast, but a cup of coffee and part of a slice of toast. e At noon she has a few chores to do besides get her lunchâ€"look around for something she is buying to wear, or get her hair cut or set, or patch up her nails, or take something to the cleaners, or buy a present for a shower for one of her girl friends, or go to the dentist. She‘s a busy person. No time to make up that breakfast that got lost in the shuffleâ€"so she grabs a sandwich and anâ€" other cup of coffee or a soft drink. There are millions of people all over the world conducting their own personal variaâ€" tion on this themeâ€"the underlying theme of not enough rest and not enough of the right food. Some of them can‘t help it â€" there isn‘t the food available. It is very humbling to think how many people there are in this world who have no opportunity to get a well balanced diet. e â€" By five o‘clock she gets feeling a bit tired but not so tired that she isn‘t ready to go out after dinner. She would be most indigâ€" nant if someone suggested that she ought to stay home and get a good night‘s sleep. Lots of people (such as parents) do make this suggestion and it‘s very unpopular. So out she goes, and isn‘t in very early. Next day, the same routine, starting with the desire to pitch the alarm clock through the window. â€" But to return to our main subject of preâ€" vention of tuberculosis. If we suggested that all these badly nourished, overâ€"tired people were going to get tuberculosis you would be mislead very badly. Thousands and thousâ€" ands of them will go scott free of tuberâ€" culosis. They certainly will if they don‘t meet up with TB infection. If there are no germs there will be no TB, no matter how run down one may beâ€"but of course, there Eie i Eoo eneoie ee en o ee ie ol o oene o Ne ie ies iesns But out of the thousands who don‘t regard their health as something deserving some attention, there will be too many who do enâ€" counter TB germs. There will be someone in the house, or at the office, or maybe with whom they go dancing, who is an unrecogâ€" nized caseâ€"and the person who is run down is a sort of happy hunting ground for TB germs. _ _ _ _ _ _ â€" fact declined. are a lot of other undesirable things can happen, and some of them likely will, in time. We wouldn‘t be rash enough to suggest that "run down" people are the only ones who get TBâ€"not a bit of it, but if a thousâ€" healthy tg‘eople and a thousand who. aren‘t (%!‘xite in ;gink are exposed to TB infection, the thousand healthy will fare better. Even the healthiest may not be able to throw off infection if there is enough of it, but they have a long start. _ _ _ _ _ . Property owners paid $169,831,000 in taxes to Ontario municipalities last year. This is an increase of 56% over 1939 but as the depreciâ€" ation in the value of the dollar is in excess of the actual W in expenditures, the cost of municipal supplies and services has in The long and short of it is that by guardâ€" ing our own health and getting others to do the same, we‘ll be helping prevent TBâ€" though we‘ll never know just when or where. And of course we‘ll save a lot of trouble too, because we‘ll be better able to stand off other germs too. Poor nutrition and lack of rest are friends of all the microbes. EDITORIAL NOTES Ne Meteorology reports show that January 1951 ‘has created a record. Old timers of the 80‘s and 90‘s recall with great delight the good old days when the snow was piled high and the open air skating was continued from early December through to the enrof February. When you went to school in those days you walked through a valley of snow. Along the sidewalks the snow was piled three and four feet high and the kids certainly enjoyed running over the hard crusted top. The cutters kept the ruts in the roads and in the spring it became necessary to take the ice off the roads with picks and shovels. Thoge coming from outside the city looked upon the old winters as a land of ice and snowâ€"thus the conception came to the people in New York and England that we were similar to the Eskimos of the present day. What a change has taken place this monthâ€"in this great metropolitan area there has been li:tle or no snew this winter. The mean temperature has been above freezing point so far this month. It is certainly true that the climate is changing and becoming warmer each year. Those coming from England are amazed at our climate change this year. Those going to Florida are experiencing a colder atmosphere there this year. We talk of the good old days with all its invigoration, but today we are living in comfort in this great metropolitan area. In the Gospel for the day taken from St. Luke 8 and 4, we have the old famuliar story of the sower and the seed. We all know the story, we have heard sermon after sermon on it and seen pictures, yet it is high time that we stop and consider our classification, on this parable. Have we become callous, are we filled with care and worry, have the affairs of the world crowded out our Lord Jesus Christ. These are impertinent questions that require consideration during this preâ€" lenten season. We hear the word of God continually through the press, over the air and in the pulpit, but are the messages falling on hardened hearts and deaf ears. Take a few minutes out and read this Gospel for the day; plan to utilize this preâ€"lenten season for a thorough examination of self. mental state and humiliations; yet he possessed a faith, realization and stability that enabled him to minister to those with whom he came in eontact. He exorted a closer living with God and submission to his will, and a definite subjection to the obedience of God. St. Paul in all humility recognized his inability to stand erect without the help of his Baviour and God. This is the lesson that we must learn during this great season of self examination. Have you read St. Paul‘s recital of his trials and tribulations. This is the Epistle for the day taken from 2nd Corinthians 11 and 19. Can Remarkable Weather St. Mathias Church, Westmount The Women‘s Guild of the church held their annual meeting on Janâ€" uary 17th.

Stray Thoughts About Matters of Public Concern By SAM WILSON Wednesday evening, January 24, there will be a meeting of the Men‘s Club in the basement of the Community Hall at 8 p.m. Speakâ€" er for the evening will be Mr. D.

St. David‘s Hardington Confirmation class next Sunday morning at 10 a.m. Celebration of the Holy Communion at 11 a.m. by Rev. Bothwell of St. James Cathâ€" edral. Sunday School at 3 p.m. We would appreciate the serâ€" vices of teachers for the Sunday School as the attendance is still growing. The speaker for the annual serâ€" vice for, the Ontario Temperance Federation last Sunday was Dr. John Coburn, author of the conâ€" temporary book "I Kept My| Powder Dry." His theme was| ‘"The Church‘s Résponsibility in the Liquor Problem." He showedl the influence of church men in their homes, clubs and offices, and how their stand might help youth ‘ to forestall tragedy. His graphic description of the toll that liquor‘ takes in highway accidents was very arresting. The congregaâ€"| tion was thoroughly aroused by Dr. Coburn‘s presentation. Central Church The Young People‘s Union next Sunday evening will have as their speaker, Buddy Rogers, test pilot for A. V. Roe. He will tell the thrilling story of the new pets that are consistently breaking speed and altitude records. One of Weston‘s own sons will occupy the pulpit of Central Church in mutual exchange with Mr. Eddy. Rev. J. K. Moffat, Simeoe St. United Church, Oshawa together with his choir and choirâ€" master, will conduct the evening services. Grandview Baptist Tabernacle A keen and challenging attendâ€" ance contest was introduced to the boys and girls of the Bible school last Sunday. With excellent prizes to be awarded in eight weeks and a trip to Niagara Falls in 18 weeks, all the scholars are set on doubling the roll and making the greatest number of class and contest points. On Sunday night Pastor White» law presented four aspects of a topic desirable to all but regarded with â€" great unconcern. "Eternal life," he said, "is the gift of God," and quoted from scriptures, "This is the record that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son." The only One who posâ€" sesses eternal life gives it out of a heart of love to mankind who by nature are "dead in trespasses and in sins." Eternal life is received by beâ€" lieving, "for by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God; not of works lest any man should boast." Fternal life is our choice and not chance. "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him." Eternal life "The Times & Guide, Weston, Ont. Dear Sir: Your vivacious columnist‘s "Stray Thoughtss About Matters of Public Concern‘ are always welâ€" come in this rural home. I liked that broadgauged reference to "the great Victorian Age" and to the shining fact that "it had been one of the most peaceful ages in the history of the world." There is a widespread trend toâ€" day, when, more than ever, "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing," to sneer at the past? It is always a character measurement of reâ€" vealing accuracy, for, of course, "we have all the centuries in us" as one of the wise men reminded us at the dawning of the 20th Century. I commend to the attenâ€" tion of some of today‘s streamlined fdlk, a study of a volume titled "The Achievements of the 19th Century." It will be appropriattely humbling. So far as I remember the starry record in a hundred fields of human intelligence, they gave us most of the basic princiâ€" ples, without which today‘s achieveâ€" ments would not have been posâ€" sible? I was duly impressed by your writer‘s reminder that "We require a peace in order to complete the achievements of man, which God has revealed unto him. The deâ€" velopment of atomic power for the benefit of man, the transmission of oil from Alberta fields to run our transportation, _ industries, _ and heat our homes, and the harnessing of all the potentialities that the mind of man is playing with toâ€" day." My understanding is that we have almost as many people in Ontario today as in the Dominion in 19002 This may be fairly conâ€" sidered as progress in the right direction; but I suggest that this is only the beginning of a move toâ€" ward that "Greater Canada," enâ€" visioned by the great men and woâ€" men whose lives have been woven into the story of the Dominion. Even the bankers and businessmen are warning (in 1951) that Canada is underâ€"nourished, in terms of populationâ€"‘"a dangerously empty land." If we had 5 million Canaâ€" dians. in each of the Prairie Proâ€" vinces, it would still be relatively "empty," if measured against most countriesâ€"and our oil would not be flowing south, but due east to Ontarioâ€"Quebec. is a present possession by a personâ€" al accoptance of a personal Savâ€" iour.

Controlâ€" ler Leslie Saunders of Toronto, will be the chairman. On Sunday, young people of the Corps Cadet Brigade, under the direction of their leader, Mrs. George Chapell, will be in charge of the meetings at 11 am and 7 pm. The evening service will be lead by Songster Alison Harewood, recently of Australia, who will deâ€" liver the Bible message.. Songâ€" sters Faith Russell and Ruth Green, who with Songster Hareâ€" wood, are from North Toronto Corps, will also take part. Of special interest will be their timâ€" brel trio. At 3 pm, the Sunday School meets to stuy the lesson "Journeying with Jesus to the Wilderness" from Luke 4; 7. "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."
