The whole scheme and-type of entertainment is the result of the successful Garden Party held at the Joint homes of Weldon Inch and Lorne Snyder last year when these two enterprising young men undertook to assist Mrs. Inch and Mrs. Snyder in raising funds for the Humber Memorial cnmpaign. All who attended were high in their praise of the party and the fun then had and the profitable fun at that. However, as always, the weather last year was a little on the coolish side and rainiah in the bargain. Due to this experi- ence, it was' felt by the committee that , Huge Fun Fair all under one roof would be the aiswer to the weather problem, and also the lighting problem for evening en- tertainment.

To Replace Old Boilers In WINS With New Units A letter we received by the board from JN,11", York Town- ship Board of Education stating that the letter body was very grateful for the "eommodntion given North York pupils in Weston elementary schools during . period when the rapid growth of the town- ship preceeded the erection of But. ficient schools.

After Approval A board of review will recom- mend changes in North York Township's zoning by-law after it is in operation for six months, if the approval of the Ontario Muni- eipal Board for the nix months' trial period is received, Reeve Nel- son Boylen told The Times and Guide this week. After hearing the township'. case for the by-law some time ago, the board " that time psserye4 its decision. With, the amalgamation matter before it it may be I little time yet before I decision is reached with regard to the North York by-law. If the application for the zoning by-law is approved, the by-law with recommended changes will have to come up before the board again after the six months' trial period for final approval, the reeve stated. There are 450 miles of roads in North York, said Mr. Boylen. The township works department is at- tempting to prepare the roads properly before oiling them so that the oil will soak in instead of re- sulting in pot holes.

Organized less than two year: ago, a group of people, small in numbers but great in faith, per- severance and a keen sense of the religious needs of a new and fast- growing community, witnessed the realization of their hopes on that bright, sunny spring day.
