The new addition to the school has reached the blueprint stage." 2 "In many of the schools we have started safety patrols," said Seat. Hill. He explained that some of the older and more levelâ€"headed boys in a school are equipped with a woecial belt and hat and trained to direct their fellow punils across the busy streets in safety, _ rector of the cou In spite of the growing need for: added facilities at the Weston Colâ€" legiste and Vocational School, & report made by inspectors after & Fecent visit to the school was very favorable and commended both staff and students cf the school.

One of the feature attractions of the exhibition was a model of the school based on the tentative plans for alterations and additions which have been prepared by the Board of Education, The model was built by five drafting specialâ€" ist students under the direction of their drafting instructor, Mr. H. Skinner. The model could be taken apart so that the various floor plans could be seen by the specâ€" tators. The model gave visitors some idea of the excellent plans afoot to improve ‘he facilities at the school and gav~ the impression that the new addition would be at least as large as the present school. s . _ ‘The above report was tabled at the meeting of the Weston Board of Education on Wednesday, March At the same meeting Mr. E. H. G, Worden, principal of WCVS. presented figures that proved that the need for additional accommoâ€" dation, far from lessening, was still growing. T The annual gxhibition of Weston Collegiate and Vocational School was attended this year by an "excellent" crowd of between 2300 and 2400 interested parents and other citizens of the community. "At the present time," he said, & RADIO 28 MAIN N. _ ZONE 4400 60, NUMBER 13 _ Mr. Seagrave, with the <other mayors and reeves, toured the four floors of the Coliseum where hunâ€" dreds of ‘commercial exhibits inâ€" cluding the latest and most upâ€"toâ€" date equipment for sports, travel and camping were on display, . The season of grass fires is fast approaching, warned Fire Chief Ernie McGinnis this week and to back up his statement revealed that seven grass fires had oecurred in the Weston district in the past weekâ€"end, He urged that residents take every possible precaution to prevent the occurence of such a grass fire near their homes. Mayor Is Guest At Sportsmen‘s Show Yesterday Three of the fires on Saturday and Sunday, March 10th and 11th were in North York Township. The other four were in Etobicoke. Five out of the seven calls occurred on Sunday, all but che of them in the afternoon. 5 Grass Fires In 1 Day, Chief Although none of the fires threatened any homes immediately, all of them were "going well" and required fast action to bring them under control and prevent them from spreading. Mayors and reeves from various cities, towits and villages of Onâ€" tario, including Mayor Richard Seagrave of Weston, were the guests of Hiram McCallum, Mayor of Toronto, at the Canadian Naâ€" tional Sportsmen‘s Show in the Coliseum on Wednesday evening, March 14, Next they visited the various features and attactions including the sports demonstration area, the Indian village, May‘s Tropical Exâ€" hibition of butterflies, moths and other tropical insects, the travel show and the boat show. Later they witnessed the thrillâ€" "we have 86 more pupils on the roll than at this same period last year." _ A thirteenâ€"yearâ€"old Humberview Boy Scout recently saved his young brother from drowning in the muddy, swirling waters of the Humber river, The incident ocâ€" curred on Wednesday, March 7. Bobracted instantly, jumping in beside his brother without removâ€" ing one item of his clothes, not even the rubber boots which he was wearing. The water was too deep for Bob, too, but he could swim. Keeping his head, he grabbed ahold of his brother , and managed to shove the younger boy in to the shore. Then he attempted to climb out himself, but the bank was slippery and it was only after several attempts that he finally succeeded in dragging himself ashore. Soaking and cold, the boys arâ€" rived home to be greeted by their mother‘s anxiovs auestions, While they removed their wet clothing, the bovs related the story of the averted tramedy. _ "This will be auite a lesson for Brure," said his mother. "He won‘t go near that water again for a long, long while." Of course, Mrs. Burgess was nroud of the older boy, Bob, who helones to the 1st Humber Troon, Rovy Sconts.‘ He is a student at Weston Senior Public School, ‘"The prospects are not too cheerâ€" ful for next September," he conâ€" tinued, "There are more pupils in grade eight classes in Weston and district schools than one year ago." In Weston elementary _ schools there was a 40 per cent. increase reported in the grade eight classes over a year ago. Unknown to their mother, Mrs. A. Burgess of 63 Omagh Ave., North York, eightâ€"yearâ€"old Bruce Burgess and his brother Bob were playing near the banks of the Humber River at the site of the new bridge. Fascinated by the logs and sticks floating down the river, the boys began a game of trying to drag the logs out of the river and pulling them onto the shore. _ Suddenly, it happened. Young Bruce fell into the river and into water that was over his head. The Weston Board approved a resolution asking that the Assocâ€" iated High School Boards of Onâ€" tario set up a committee to study the Hope Report on Education and to make recommendations to the AHSB regarding it, Mild, springâ€"like weather early last week brought forth the skunks in some Weston districts. One report revealed that about nine had been caught in a week, in the Richview sideroad area, Three of these skunks were caught in one day. The skunks were apparently taking a liking to the district for some reason and began invading man‘s domain, the home, by digâ€" ging under the verandahs of local residents, It has been suggested that some of these critters . are being attracted by a skunk of the "fair sex". She must be using a different kind of perfume than the one ordinarily associated with skunks. 27 Accidents Due Driving Too Fast For The Conditions Driving too fast for road condiâ€" tions has been the major cause of traffic accidents in Etobicoke acâ€" cording to the latest report from the Traffic Safety Council of that township.

As a result of the now setâ€"up in the Weston Police Department, the two officers pictured nl;w. Leonâ€" ard Cowling, left, and James Mcâ€" Following this performance, the mayors and reeves were the guests of the Toronto Anglers‘ and Huntâ€" ers‘ Association at a special recepâ€" tion. Odour!

The board referred to the fact that Toronto Township runs north from Lake Ontario and includes such more or less urban areas as Clarkson, Port Credit, Lorne Park, Erindale and Dixie.

Both Toâ€" ronto Gore and Toronto Township applied to the municipal board for permission to take in the whole Malton area, each wanting this booming area and its high indusâ€" trial assessment potential, Mrs. Horning hoped that it would soon warm up enough that she could sit in her sun room and enjoy the sunshine again, The annexation means the loss of 40 per cent. of the taxable asâ€" sessment of Toronto Gore, Reeve N.

It was revealed that on this road alone in rush hour periods there have been 27 accidents during the short month of February, six of them resulting in injuries. The perâ€" iod between seven and eight in the morning and between four and seven in the evening are considered the peak or "rush" hours. What could be done about the oecurrence of so many accidents on this one road is not indicated by the league. Certainly it should inâ€" dicate that caution is recessary on the part of the motorists using this highway, But the figures seem to indicate that some action should be taken by the authorities either to inâ€" crease traffic patrols on this road or to install lights at certain interâ€" sections, or both. The situation is certainly not goâ€" ing to be alleviated by time beâ€" cause the industry in the district is growing. A. V.
