a 4 Two trucks are operated during the summer, fall and late spring engaged in the work of roadway repa‘r and patching. 1 "Speaking of traffic signs and signals for which the Roads and Bridees Committce is also responsible," Mr. Wardâ€" law said, "a traffic signal ins:allation _ was maode last autumn at the Bloorâ€"Islington «intarsection. _ The outâ€"moded traffic cantrols at Searlett â€" Road and Lawrence Avenue were modern‘zed and an e‘~ht licht â€" eontrol was â€" installed. The pedestr‘an crossing conâ€" trol was also recen‘)y erected at â€" Dundas a nd Burnhamâ€" thorpe. Average cost of those imnrovements wos in the meighborhood of $1,700. "This year alone," Councillor Wardlaw said, "subâ€"dividers spent $90.000 for this type of work in Etobicoke. These roads are now part of the township roads system and the township will have to look after them henceforth. Many miles of snow fencing have been erected this year and six snow removal units will go into operation when the occasion deâ€" mands. "The sum of $47,000 was spent this year," Mr. Wardlaw stated, "on surface treatment of many additional miles of surface." cash must be posted by the subâ€" divider to guarantee satisfactory completion of all such works. This bond or its equivnlent is deposited with Township Treasurer Frank Whelan. "Drainage," he said, "is one of our major problems and a goodly portion of the $50,000 budgeted this year has been spent in imorovâ€" ing surface drainage." The Roads and Bridges Committee also suverâ€" vises and insnects all road work in new subâ€"divisions. Mr. Wardiaw reminded that all costs for gradâ€" ing, ditching. grave‘ling and culâ€" verts is paid for by the subâ€"divider. In fact, a performâ€"nce bond or Continued from page 1â€" 40 of these employees are necesâ€" sary to discharge the functions of the garbage department. Some days this work can be done by 34 men, leaving approximately 40 employees to continue the work of the road department." Mr. Wardlaw pointed out that there are more than 200 miles of roads in Etobicoke. These include surface treated and gravel roads and a small milerge of pavement. Wardlaw Reports "Naturally, we want the people to vote for the program and canâ€" didate of the CCF because we are! confident this program will bring, the greatest good to the grentest number and to that section of our wociety most in need," Mr. Millard‘ concluded. | â€"Continued rom page 1 now, that throughout the camâ€" paign we have urged everyone to vote on election day. 1 believe West York, due to its size and re;;)rcsemati\;e character, is a key riding in Ontario. It is doubly important therefore that we set a good example in getting to the poles. In the last provincial elecâ€" tion between 65% and 70% of West York electors went to the polls. Now we are much larger with nearly 80,000 on the voters‘ list, we should do even better. Swing To C.C.F. "There are not sufficient recreaâ€" tion facilities for our people. This is the last site available for a proâ€" ject of this nature," he said. "if the proposal is defected and in a year or two outside interests get in and make a fortune, everyone in this The park wou‘ld give York county an opportunity to show leadership, while other levels of government were â€" without _ clearâ€"cut _ policy, James Weir, deputyâ€"reeve of Wesâ€" ton, said. "This $120,000 is like putting a wedding ring on a lady‘s fingerâ€"it is only the start," said Harold Trickett, deputyâ€"reeve of New Toâ€" ronto. ‘"No one has yet pointed out what the final cost will be." He forecast the final price tag may be $500,000, with New Toronto‘s 9,626 population bearing a heavy enough load at present. ~ Council could decide the issue without outside help and there was no assurance from the provincial government of aid, Harry Simpâ€" son, reeve of East York, held. He recommended council wait until it had that assurance. The property, known as Eildon Hall, contains an old homestead which could be converted into a museum. Mr. Clark said the proâ€" vincial government may contribute something toward the cost of purâ€" chase. Wants To Wait Spokesman for 16 educational, religious, recreational and historiâ€" cal organizations as well as tourists trade interests, H. Spencer Clark said the project may cost $250,000 to put into operation, but after that may yield the county an annual profit from concessions and as a tourist attraction. He said a negiected gravel pit in England converted to a resort yields $24,000 annual profit. Owner of the Georgina township land lives in England, but his Canaâ€" dizn representative, E. L. Brown, said recently the $120,000 figure was the lowest acceptable to his client. Need Park Area For Recreation Weston Reeve Tells York Council Although acquisition of 496 acres for a public park on Lake Simcoe was described as "one of the most eonstructive proposals" ever to come before York county council, it was again referred to a special parks committee by council last week. Committee members were told to try to buy the land for $100,000 instead of the present price of $120,000. WNEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1951 An enjoyable program of fine music awrits the citizens of Wesâ€" ton and d‘strict who come to The Times and Guide Sunday Evening Musicale next Sunday, November 25th, at the "Illustrious", off Lawâ€" rence Ave. East. It is suggested that the program printed in this newspaper be clipped for easy refâ€" erence, Mayor R. C. Seagrave will again be on hand as master of ceremonies at the concert and will give brief program notes during the course of the evening. Additional seats have been obâ€" tained for the concert through the coâ€"onerat‘on of the Weston Board of Education. At the last concert, a shortage of chairs was experiâ€" enced and benches had to be used. A complete program of the next concert in the series will be found elsewhere in this newspaper. Two of the features of the concert are the beautiful opening hymn, "Unto the Hills", to be sung by the choir of Weston Presbyterian Church under the direction of Mr. Rex Metcalfe accomnanied by the Wesâ€" ton Silver Band, and a trombone quartette, "Halleljah Corner".

Mr. Horace Sainsbury studied plano for years but most of his cornet playing he learned by himâ€" self. Concert Features The Sunday Evening Musicale series is just one of the ways in which the Weston Silver Band is at present providing good music for the entertainment of the resiâ€" dents of Weston. Mr. George Sainsbury, who was a contractor, studied on his own in the old country. He played with the Salvation Army Band there for some years and became a bandmasâ€" ter with a commission when he was sixteen. It was while he was apâ€" prenticed away from home that he forméd a fife and drum band among his young friends as a hobby to occupy their time.

Bandmasters Selfâ€"taught Both the present bandmaster and his father were selfâ€"taught in the way of band instrument playing and the conducting of a band. "Let us start taking care of the sick and the infirm before we start supplying parks for the American tourists," agreed William Graham, deputyâ€"reeve of York township. Presbyterian Choir Tom Carter, reeve of Long Branch, charged the council was trying "to woo the north," but said the project wou!ld not benefit the north as much as it would resiâ€" dents of Toronto, who would use it more than the people in the county. "You mention there aren‘t enough parksâ€"well, there aren‘t sufficient hospitals and there aren‘t suffiâ€" cient schools either," he said. room is going to feel downhearted about it."

If you lie down flat you are least likely to be thrown about. If you have time to pick a good spot there is less chance of your being struck by flying glass and other objects. Inside a Building If you are inside a building the best place to flatten out is close against the cellar wall. If you haven‘t time to get down the.e, lie down along an inside wall, or duck under a bed or table.

No previous govâ€" ernment in Ontario has in the space of three short years put so much progressive legislation on the books.
