An overpass is an urgent necessity at the Islington Ave. level crossing just south of Highway 401. This newspaper {cz).im its voice with those of the Rexdale tepayers‘ Association and of an inquest jury, both of which demand removal of .._this "potential hasard." § Must Improve Islington Crossing To Prevent Another Fatality Welcome Weston Kiwanis Club It is unfortunate that there must be one or more fatalities at an intersection or at a level crossing before action is taken by the proper .authorities to relieve such traffic hazards. It seemsâ€"to the layman that there appears to be no other way that these authorities base their reasons for action but on necessary statistics showing a number of fatalities and other accidents at a location. Two persons have died at this level crouinf just recently and blame was put on the fact that the sun blinded them as they travelled south toward the was put them as crossing. But contributing to this, is the fact that even if a driver could not see the signal, it should be possible for him to see the train approaching the crossing, but at this A warm welcome and Reartiest congratuâ€" lations are extended on the recent establishâ€" ment of the Weston Kiwanis Club. Responâ€" sible for this newest addition to the service clubs in the area are members of the Torontoâ€" Bloor Kiwanis Club and the local club enâ€" thusiasts, both of whom worked and planned well to bring about the "birth" of this club.

Lawrence Avenue East off Scarlett Road crossing, aEprmhhl trains are . hidden by the high banks on both sides of the crossing. When‘ the Highway 401 interchange was being constructed at TIslington Ave., it should have been very obvious that this street was going to carry a lot of traffic. With the opening of the new Woodbine race track this summer, and an everâ€" growing indultriz area on Rexdale Blvd., traffic will continue to grow, increasing the potential danger of this level crossing. Because of the proximity of the crossâ€" ing to the interchange, and the heavy trafâ€" fic coming from this highway, the townâ€" ship should ask the province of Ontario to pay a larger than usual share of the cost of an overpass. It is to be hoped that the township will act immediately to remedy this dangerous situation by demanding an overpass and by immediately implementing the other recommendations og the Ratepayers‘ Asâ€" sociation to reduce the bazard in the meanâ€" time. Let‘s have action taken before there is another fatal accident at this crossing. The Kiwanis club has an enviable reputation which we are sure the Weston club will upâ€" hold. The future work of the Kiwanis Club of Weston will contribute greatly to the wellâ€" being of this community, as have the Westonâ€" Mount Dennis Rotary Club and the Weston Lions club in the years they have been estabâ€" lished. \ Any pedestrian who has to walk along the north side of Lawrence Ave. between Main Street and South Station Street will subscribe to the hazardous and deplorable state of the course, which we will not grace with the word "walk." The advent of the new bus routes termini at the intersection of South Station Street and Lawrence Ave. has added greatly to the number of pedestrians who must daily traverse this course. It is underâ€" stood that this may not be the permanent home of this bus terminal, If this is true, at least some temporary walk should be ‘conâ€" structed speedily at this location. We are surâ€" prised that at least one person hasn‘t broken a leg on this hazardous route and sued the town. & â€" provide up. to 200 horsepower, pack plenty of reserve for safer passing, safer acceleration. ‘There‘s new driving ease, too.

Canada‘s "safetyâ€" first"‘ car! ‘‘Walk‘ Hazard By SAM WILSON * The Times and Guide office has moved to the South>West corner of Main‘St. and Lawrence Ave., first floor up. This gives more space and better accommodation. This is the seventh move in the past 65 yeats. * It was about 65 years ago that Mr. Keafer brought this paper from Richmond Hill to Weston. The late William Ridâ€" dell, one of our réspected citizens, was the man who ran , the paper and looked after the detail. They opened up shop where the Bank of Confmerce now stands. Then they moved north to a shop where the Cruickshank sales room now is located. ‘This as alongside the old Wagon Works operated by Cruickshanks‘ for generations. Here a complete plant was operated by the‘late Mr., Winton who took over the paper. On his death in 1916, the office was closed for three months. Then the late Sam Charters of the ‘Brampton Conservator, in June 1916, bought the Times and Guide from the Winton Estate and Sam Wilson came from Brampton to manage and edit the paper. It was a five column, four pages home print, and four pages of ready print at that time. Advertising was sold as low as seven cents per inch, and some ads did not change the year round. Plant equipment was sold or moved to Brampton and all the mechaniâ€" cal work was done at the Brampton office. This made a marked change in the Times and Guide and by consistent effort the paper progressed. From this office the next move was to the office that stood where the used car lot now is. The Mimicoâ€"New Toronto Adverâ€" tiser was started and the West Toronto Weekly. Supervision was also given lWre to the Port Credit News. Thus the paper has played an~iflportant role in the affairs of York County. _ _ The next move was to the office on the West side of Main St. where Saalmans Jewellery store now stands. Then the move was across the road to the bank of Nova Scotia building. Thus the paper that has carried the happenings of this comâ€" mAun?lty for 66 years is off to a new era in their new quarters at _ LIFEGUARD DOOR LATCHES sAFETY SEALEDâ€"BEAM HEADLAMPS GLAREPROOFED INSTRUMENT PANEL TOP . sAFETYâ€"RIM WHEELS _ _ sAFEâ€"@UARD HYDRAULIC BRAKES INDEPENDENT PARKING BRAKE ELECTRIC â€"WiNDsHIELD wipeRrs sAFETY DOOR LOCKS 1A Lawrence Ave. W The Bible School of the Downsview is divided!

All the angles of prayer, of course, cannot be covered in one sermon, but the main points of prayer will be given. The message of the evening will deal with the fact of KNOWâ€" ING whether one is saved or not. Is it possible to know without a doubt that one has eternal life and will go to Heaven when he leaves this sphere? Can I be cerâ€" tain that my sins are paid for and that I will not be judged for them? Can I know what are the things that give this assurance? Can I lose that salvation once I have it?
