The area served by Albion Park Distributing Station is roughly north of Maple Leaf Drive and west of Keele street. It covers some 2,000 domestic, 50 commercial and 17 industrial customers. The standardization work will be done in a series of 13 "cutâ€"overs" between April 4 and 25. â€" This district is a small part of what has been designated as Area "N" in Hydro‘s standardization program. Area "N" includes all of North York Township, Weston, Forest Hill, York Township, and the city of Toronto. Changeover work in the whole area is not scheduled to comm#nce until 1952, and will be completed about 1959. In the initial "cutâ€"over" in the vicinity of Albion Park DS, one commercial and 120 domestic cusâ€" tomers will have their appliances altered on April 4. They are located on Albion road, Acacia avenue, Lilac avenue, O magh avenue, Griffith street, Reuben avenue, Gaydon avenue and the section of Weston road between Reuben avenue and Albion avenue. It is estimated that in Albion Park approximately 1,800 washing machines, 1,200 refrigerators and 800 radio phonographs will be standardized for domestic cusâ€" tomers, as well as 2,500 misâ€" cellaneous items. In addition, some 1,800 electric clocks and 400 fans will be changed over or exchanged for new models. All customers are advised by letter well in advance of their "eutâ€"over day." A final notice, repeating the time and date is delivered two days prior to the actual cutover.

Wide Interest In Panel Group Discussion Of "Happy Family" The first open meeting of the Weston Local Council of Women for 1951 @entered its Panel Disâ€" eussion on What Makes for a Happy Family. Great interest deâ€" veloped in this theme is, with Mr.‘ Seagrave presiding, the four panel members, _ Mrs. _ Henry, _ Mrs. Stuart, Mr. Palmer and Mr. Anâ€" glin informally presented their views. Mrs. Henry opened the disâ€" eussion with an historical survey of the family from primitive times and tribes, when a child‘s need bound together a mother and father, through the centuries down to our present more complicated society. Over this period the family has adjusted to national life, to the great changes of the industrial revolution, and to the scientific aspects of modern life. Mrs. Henry later stressed the imâ€" portance of a child assuming duâ€" ties and responsibilitics in family life that he might feel necessary and secure, Modern parents now have opportunities to acquire techâ€" niques and skills in child training and to gain konwledge of the steps of child development. It is wise to recognize that happiness is learnâ€" ed and earned. Childrefi‘s best and undo," said Mr, Thompson. Previous to the dddress, George and Irene Bradshaw comedians, enterâ€" tained.

Chairman Bruce Pollard weported that the bus would be continued again this Friday and Saturday as planned. No word to the contrary has been received so it is presumed that the schedules for these days will be the same as last week. For details of the schedule, the reader may refer to last week‘s Times and Guide or to the schedules which were to be posted at the bus stops on the routes. Any comments or constructive suggestions reâ€" garding the bus would be welcomed by the Business Men. A number of residents of the districts found it much more conâ€" venient to call in to the Times and Guide last week end and also do their shopping in Weston, Several of them said that the bus was a great asset and one commented that she had been looking forward to the day when such a bus service would be inaugurated ever since she moved into the district a couple of years ago. Merchants were happy, too, beâ€" cause shoppers who would not otherwise have come in to Weston because of the bad weather were able to come at a minimum of inâ€" convenience. To some extent, too, the bus should help the parking problem, allowing those with cars to leave them at home and come on the bus, thus allowing. more room for the cars of those who are not served by the courtesy bus. With such an excellent inaugural, the new bus service may ‘prove more of a boon than was previously anticipated. : All through the year, enthusiastâ€" ie ladies met for sewing and knitâ€" and knitted articles were completed and sent to headqurters. ‘The unit bought 5: radio sets to be sent to Sunnybrook Hospital for the use of the patients.

Mrs. Lake ably carried the meeting to its close after which dainty reâ€" freshments were served. learning time for important social attitudes is in their early years in the home. Mrs. Stuart is speaking of the purpose of family maintenance felt that while economic necessity was not always so imperative nowadays, ties of affection were as strong as ever. Raising a family she considered life‘s most imâ€" portant adventure providing fun and â€" excitement and â€" pleasure. Working and playing together, she advocated, as a means to proâ€" vide this zest. Mr. Palmer, drawing on his exâ€" perience as parent and vocational guidance director, felt that coâ€" operative work in the home was more difficult for parents to proâ€" vide than in former times, or even nowadays in rural life. It had been discovered, he stated, that regular duties and work, such as a boy‘s paper route, did not jeopardize his academic success but rather gave maturity in developing his sense of responsibility. Mr. Palmer adâ€" wocated family conferences where children‘s interests and desires were recognized and where family responsibility for family progress was emphasized. He felt too, that church affiliation gave a :Ilooo- phy and direction to life that was most helpful. ‘The question of children‘s outâ€" side interests was dealt with by Mr. Anglin who felt that such often meant that children then had more to contribute to the family circle. He was optimistic regardâ€" ing Canadian family life was not too nostalgic for the good old days and felt that harcer work than ever before was being put on proâ€" â€"â€"Continued on ‘bage 12 Dominion Bank _ Opens New Branch At Beverley Hillg _ L.

Aim For $200,000 From Toronto Area For Cancer Control "The opening of a new cancer clinic in the city of Toronto will mean increased activities for the Toronto Branch of the Canadian Cancer Society, and an urgent need for funds to extend the work of the Society in Toronto" said Norman Robertson, K.C., Toronto Campaign Chairman, in announcing the openâ€" ig of the April Campaign for $200,000 in this city. A new mirship is to be demonâ€" strated in Britain this summer ‘before the Royal Aetonantical Society at their annual gathering in May, Other interesting exhibits will be a kite which can lift a man. Mr. Robertson points out that great advances are being made in our knowledge of the disease, the manner in which it develops and the measures which should be adopted in each case to bring canâ€" cer under control. _ In Canada there are more than 75 research projects being sponsorâ€" ed by the National Cancer Instiâ€" tute.

A large percentage of the money raised during April will be used to extend research facilities, and to provide fellowships to enable qualified doctors and scientists to continue â€" their cancer research studies in Canada and abroad. Manager New Branch The Dominion Bank Local Club Celebrate â€" A Decade Of Service _ With Monster Party _ Last Wednesday night, March 28th, the Lions Club of Weston celebrated their tenth birthdayâ€" the anniversary of ten years of accomplishment in the field of community service in this district. From the widely known project of the Weston Arena to the little publicized efforts in welfare to inâ€" dividuals and families in need, the ‘Weston Lions Club has always ‘been willing to take upon itself ‘the responsibility of giving a helpâ€" ing hand wherever there is a need. Consider their normal activities first of all, for these: are prinâ€" cipally the lesser known works of this service club. The club is diâ€" vided into a number of committees each of which must prepare a budâ€" get for its expenditures in the coming year and the funds for all these budgets must be raised by the club which approves the budâ€" gets. Most of the money has in past years been given to the boys and girls committee which sponsors activities to develop them physicâ€" ally and morally. Although this work has largely been taken over by the Weston Recreation Comâ€" mission, the club has continued to Now that Humber Memorial Hospital has been operating for slightly more than three months, two important announcements: have been made by the Board of Govâ€" ernors, The first is thatâ€"the rate structure has been established and is as follows effective for patients admitte. on and after April 1, 1951: Standard ward, $6 per day; semiâ€"private, $9.60 per day; nurâ€" sery, $3 per day. These charges are for room, board and general nursâ€" ing care. Other charges are made, as incurred by the patient, for any special services required such as drugs, Xâ€"rays, laboratory and opâ€" erating and delivery room service. Humber Hospital Now Accepted _ As Full Member Of Blue Cross These rates compare very favorâ€" ably with Toronto hospitals, and are as low as is charged there for similar accommodation. In some cases accommodation at Humber Memorial is considerably superior to that available in other downâ€" town hospitals at a similar rate. The other important announceâ€" ment is of interest to the many Blue Cross subscribers in this area. After three months‘ operation the Blue Cross Plan has accepted Humâ€" ber Memorial Hospital as a full participating member, This means that Blue Cross subscribers are asâ€" sured of maximum protection.
