Eo to thrust willing lis Jamieson w feelings « door too ‘ "Fou menare to be congratulated upon their â€"efforts to date in trying to soive the situaâ€" tion. They have supplied parking space for wthose who are able to come in in their own ears. They are now trying to make another step whereby some economical system of transportation can be provided for shoppers in Weston. The old days are gone. Weston is no longer a small town. As you realize the m‘flon within the municipality is over and then another 6 or 8,000 people on its borders, you see there is the status of a smail eity. As you compile the distance from Malton to Weston, from Thistletown to Weston, and from Downsview to Weston you realize the absolute need of some means of regular transportation in order to bring this This is a matter that should have the serious consideration of the town council in eooperation with the executive of the Weston Business Men‘s Association. As Weston beâ€" comes a real shopping centre, it means fiutu' advantages to the citizens of Weston. erefore, this is a municipal problem that .will have to be faced. Now is the time to set The YWCA of Weston has certainly filled in a long needed want in our community. Those who have been responsible for organâ€" izing and developing this great work are to be congratulated. The work done by the wecreational committee has been another great feature and those who have carried on guccessfully this work have done a great job for the town of Weston and the community. With the sale of Westminster Church and gounda there comes the idea that this would an ideal spot for a community YMCA and YWCA in this district. If funds could be raised and sponsorship obtained from the Rotary Club for the launching of such a :rojoct, their names would go down ‘in the istory as the greatest benefactors of the eommunity. With some 16,000 people to be ; m:rdfli‘n this community one of the greatest ip courses and training should eminate from such a centre. The work done in the Etobicoke YMCA and YWCA has been outstanding and the proposed YMCA in TRANSPORTATION NEEDS With the growth and development of the district surrounding Weston and the filling in of all the available building space within the limits of Weston, there arises a great transportation problem. Weston business great erowd of potential buyers to the town of auton. about facing it. IDEAL LOCATION morth west Toronto at Eglinton and Scott is marking the progress within that section. Here we have this large gathering of people, we have two organizations that are doing a magnificent job. Would it not be possible for the town and a strong committee eminating from »the service clubs to launch a plan whereby the town would acouire this proâ€" perty and turn it over to the YMCA and Growth of the group in Ontario is amazing and indicates clearly how zealous organizaâ€" tions can develop a disciplined corps fanaticâ€" ally loyal to a central idea. An ijncreasing THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1951 FREEDOM TO WORSHIP Discrimination against Jehovah‘s Witnesâ€" mticularly in Quebec, has given the sect more free publicity and more m‘hmity to gather converts, than any eourse Duplessis and his ‘iron men‘ eould have chosen. itest evidence of growth and increasing is purchase by the Witnesses of the Beulah Baptist Church on. Fifth Street. This is the second meeting place in the Lakeshore. Renovations to the church have already begun without fanfare.

Crowded in and | around Toronto and Hamilton are over | 2,000,000 people. Our transportation, comâ€" | munications and public utilities, our great | | industries, are ridiculously overâ€"centralized. ' | Targets of major importance are crammed | invitingly into a relatively small area. | Prominent men and women in all fields of endeavor rely on prayer for guidance and fortitude in their dafly livlng. Ezio Pinza, star of "South Pacific," rids himself of preâ€" show nervousness by "just sitting in church," and taught his coâ€"star, Mary Martin, to do the same. "I turn to Him all the time," Pinza says. Laurette Taylor was another stage immortal who had a direct demonstration of the result of prayer.. Dr. Robert A. Milikan, 82â€"yearâ€"old Nobel Prize winner and head of the California Institute of Technology, reâ€" cently told a group of leading physicists that a lifetime of scientific research has convinced him that a Deity is shaping the destiny of man. A purely materialistic philosophy is to me the height of unintelligence," Milikan universe. It brings the wonders of ‘visiting with God‘ to the life of the humblest man. And his sense of divine companionship will powerfully influence his thoughts and actions." s said. IAB ‘ As if by infallible instinct, great men of all ages have turned to God for help, Oursler’ says, "byâ€"passing intellectual doubt, finding & short cut to universal truth." Abraham ; Lincoln called on God to help him in many ; difficult decisions. "I should be the veriest | shallow and selfâ€"conceited blockhead, in the discharge of my duties," Lincoln once reâ€" marked, "if I should hope to get along withâ€" ; out the wisdom that comes from God and not from man." | THE POWER OF PRAYERâ€" Believers admit ‘no limit to what the power of prayer can do, and even skeptics who ltut:i fltemxfltsofrayorheoomeimpn-edw@ the potency of faith. But the trouble with most prayers, as one psychologist said, is that gcy ‘3 not "honest to God." *ta" “l]"eo?lo ve the i audacity ask for heavenly hm:l.though they are not on speaking terms with their nextâ€"door neighâ€" bors; they have forbidden relatives their house; they are spreaders of gossip and envious detractors of their best friends." What would happen if an atom bomb fell on the Lakeshore and neighboring areas tomorrow? > There are two opposing points of view. One group believesâ€"it would all be over. Everyâ€" thing would be wiped out and nothing could be salvaged. Another group argues with reason that tremendous loss of life and great property damage would occur but most of it would be because we are not prepared. NO TIME FOR TICKâ€"TACKâ€"TOO "If his prayers are to be answered, a man has to meet his Maker half way," states Fulton Oursler in the January Reader‘s Digest. "When we ask for help from God, we need to take a look at ourselves; we may be in no condition to ask Him for anything." Prayer is infinitely more than an a.fpeal for personal favors, Oursler says. "It is tself the greatest of all gifts; an everâ€"richer exâ€" gerience. a continuous feeling of bel;f in armony with the constructive forces of the _ The Lakeshore and other highly industrialâ€" ized areas in Canada are incredibly naked against atomâ€"bomb attack. Should death come winging through the stratosphere one moonless night, we are wideâ€"open to sneak assault. No actively functioning civil defence organization has been set in motion to lessen our vulnerability. Plans on paper are all well. But what is being done at this moment to prepare to cope with the terrific problems which would result from an attack or a major emergency ? Is there a civil defence organization at work in the Lakeshore? Have citizens been given the opportunity to volunteer for training and seryice? Could an immediate swingâ€"over be made to disaster measures? Are we prepared to cope? The efforts of local councils to set up civil defence committees are only pitiful drops in the bucket unless a clear, overâ€"all, coâ€"ordinâ€" ated program is inspired by Federal and proâ€" vincial governments. Funds must be provided ; the aid of thousands of citizens must be emâ€" listed if civil defence is to be anything more than a game of tiddleyâ€"winks to pass the remaining time away. Fear and panic are foolish : simpleâ€"minded complacency is equally so. Municipalities should press Ottawa and Queen‘s Park for a clear definition of their place and function in civil defence program. It is criminal folly to delay. PRODDING THE COW A reader makes a suggestion that if used as campaign ammunition would probably elect her as mayor of Lakeshoreâ€"cityâ€"toâ€"beâ€" someâ€"day. e c She wants suburbanites to tackle T.T.C. officials on the possibility of a through car to the heart of the city. No ntore hopping off and transferring at Sunnyside, no more lineâ€" ups in the middle of the route. Utopian? Actually the idea is a sound one but it should be carried a step further. â€" â€" Why not one through car and one through carfare to Yongé Street? This would eliminâ€" ate the difficulty of separating the sheep from the lambs, or the paid from the unpaid, at Sunnyside. The conductor would not have to collect another carfare and everybody would be happy, especially the commuter. Of course, the issue is not a new one. Time was when the one carfare cry was loud and lively in the Lakeshore. Those were the days when J. P. O‘Donnell was whipping ‘the sacred cow‘ as he dubbed the T.T.C. in a puckish moment: He was assisted in more dignified strain by members of council transâ€" gortttion committees. By the way, whatever appened to those transportation commitâ€" tees? Did thegwbur{ their pleas and their ho&- in the subway did amaigamation, the elusive firefly that has lured so many Lakeshore schemes pver the marsh to their doom during the past tc:::l:y? years, muffle yet another idea in its This is the Sunday next before Ash Wednesday. The famous pass» age of St. Paul to the Corinthians 13 and 1, is the Epistle. It strikes at the root or foundation upon which should be built the true Christian life, There must exist that love or, as it is called charity, among all people, as exemplified by our Lord Jesus Christ while on earth. Can you vizualize what this would mean in the world today from the United Nation downâ€"charity did exist among all. Would there be the strife, the war and the bickering of today. Is it not a grand thing to think upon, and yet it is possible if all would strive, inculcating the lessons and put them into practice as presented by St. Paul in this great Epistle. As we approach the Lenten season this is one great objective that every inâ€" dividual should strive to cultivate within himself and towards those he comes in contact. _ In the Gospel for the day taken from St. Lifke 18 and 31, we have the record of our Lord Jesus Christ setting h‘s face steadfastly towards Jerusalem. He foresaw the events that did occur, he knew what he was facing, yet never flinching onward he went to Calvary; but not to Calvary alone but to the glorious resurrection and descension that was to follow. Too often today we are afraid to face the issue through a lack of faith. How well this Gospel presentation shows that in the healing of the blind man, what faith can do. May we all approach this Lenten season with a strong faith and trust in the living God. May we cement our relationship with God by removing all the dross from our lives and walking closer and closer with him day by day. The mornin« services of Central Church were given over to the inâ€" stallation of stewar‘s ard the orâ€" dination of eldevs. It is always an impressive moment when busy men, under pressure of thei~ daily work, offer therse‘ves to the vo‘untary ministry of the church, Nine new stewards and the same number of elders weve set aside for the work yesterday, bringin« the total on the official board to 60, Such a groun of men ave a great encouragement and he‘n to a busy minister. Grandview Baptist Tabernacle An interesting exper‘ence for the Triâ€"C class Sunday afterncon was the visit of a s‘milar groun from Northlea United Church under the leadership of ReÂ¥. D. C. Amos. Mr. John Brewer conducted the lesson and afterwads the group adjournâ€" ed to the Sunday school room for refreshments. Next week the Triâ€"C will visit Leaside for a social evenâ€" ing. A happy and friendly group of just common ordinary folk gathâ€" ered together last Sunday evening | to sing the favorite songs of tne, church in praise to God for His‘ goodness to the children of men.| The hearty singing and the melody of responsive scripture reading and the listening to the old, old story of Jesus and His love was indeed an inspiration and ensouragement to all present. Pastor D. A. Whiteâ€"| law pictured millions today who| are as the impotent man without a home, without help and without hope. Then Jesus came and with a challenge to the will, said, "Wilt thou be made whole?" And with a chal‘en~e to faith said, "Arise, take? up thy bed and walk." And the man with his back on his bed for 38 years stood up and walled with his bed om his back. What he‘d him before, he then held to the glory of God. So men today have found the Saviour able, He is ready and willing to save and sat‘sfv all who desive to be saved and will exâ€" ercise faith in believing His word. To such He promises a home, conâ€" stant help and an enduring howe. | Central Catachumen classes for training in church membevship will begin next Sunday in the vestry. At 3 o‘clock young people of second year high school and over will commence a study of Dr. D. Forsyth‘s book, "The Christian Life." After evenâ€" ing sevvice an adult class will study Dr. Dow‘s book, "This is Our Faith." These classes are primarily for those purposing uniting with the church, but others wishing a refresher in the doctrines of the faith will also find them useful.

The Salvation Army Boy Scouts and Cubs of this disâ€" trict will be at The Salvation Army, Mount Dennis, next Sunday mornâ€" ing at 11 am for divine se vice and dedication of the flags of the reâ€" cently formed 228th Cub Pack which meets at Roselands School.
