2 hn A. RMR Tt a | PACE FOUR THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 713, 194), LATEST NEWS OF THE COUNTY TOWN OF WHITBY Business Office, Miss G. Macpherson; Wm. T. Williams, Editor. Phone 703, All Departments BOARD OF EDUCATION QUERIES COUNCIL'S ACTION "True Value of Life Is In Sacrifice, Service Co-operation Said Lacking Regarding School Problem Some members of the Board of Education during their regular meet- ing last night, questioned the right 9 the Whitby Town Council fo | e a recommendation of the Boars of Education as to the word- ing of the question to be submitted te the ratepayers at the coming election, concerning the proposed public school here. Harry Bracey told the Board that he did not believe the Council had the right to change the Board's re- commendation to suit themselves. "I'm fed up with this incessant bickering between the two civic bo- dies who should be instead. co- operating fully with one another," he said. Mrs. Frank Wells told the Board | that she had wondered, at the time | of reading press reports as to the | wording of the question, whether | the Council could legally change the 'Board's wording. Chairman Francis J. McIntyre stated that he heartily agreed with some of Mr. Bracey's arguments. The argument arose when the chairman pointed out to the Board | members that the question which the Council proposed to submit on election day merely asked for an expression on the plan to spend $125,000 for the construction and equipping of a public school in the north west ward. Mr. McIntyre pointed olit that the Board's re- commendation as to the wording of the question-was to ask for an opinion on the spending of $150,000 for the construction and equipping of a public school in the north west ward and the renovation of the pre- ent Dundas St. School. Mrs. Wells told the members pre- -ent that she did not like the in- rence that the Board of Education embers were "spineless" because f their attempts to co-operate with 12a Council rather than oppose em. Mr. 'Bracey stated "I for one cer- inly am not spine'ess. I am simply shting for the Board and its] 'ghts." Donald Wilson told the Board hat he was perfectly willing to ac- ept the Council's word in that the | enovations could be carried out! imply by securing the permission | of the Municipal Board to let' de-| hentures to cover the, expense. The Board appointed a four-man 'ommittee, to ednsist of Messrs. Ro- hlin, McIntyre, Goodfellow and Hatch, to form a deputation fo ap- proach the Ontario County Couneil during their coming meeting with a view to making an offer for the] . purchase of a five-acre tract of Aldsworth Cleaners Oshawa Daily Pick-up Service MURIEL'S SHOP 105 Colborne St. W. | cCounty-owned land fronting on Pa- | lace St. It was pointed out that the | intention of the Board should be to | secure an option on the land in the event that it was decided to con- struct the new school on it. Mr. Wilson told the Board that in his opinion there was no more time to be wasted in argument on the school problem as it exists locally. "We have got to provide the accom- modation," he said, "and if the vot- ing indicates that the proposed school is what the people want, then I believe we should give it to them." School Guard System Said Successful In a property committee report during last night's Board of Educa- | tion meeting, Vice-Chairman Harry ! Bracey told the Board that many compliments were being received from Whitby citizens in praise of the Board's action in insisting that the caretakers at the various public schools act as traffic guards for the children during the time when they are coming from or going to school. | Mr. Bracey urged that the co- operation of all parents be sought in the matter of instructing pupils to cross the main traffic arteries at the points where the guards are stationed. "Despite the guard's re- peated warnings some of the smaller children still cross these busy roads at spots other than where the guard is" he sald. "It is impossible for him to do his job and try to protect these children as well and I believe the co-operation of the parents in this matter would be the solution." Chairman of the committee, Dave Kean, told the Board that co-opera- tion on the pprt of the Council in | directing their mower and grader .to aid the Board in its school yard projects, was definitely lacking. "We are continually running into excuses and promises that don't mean a thing", said Mr. Bracey and consequently the projects are not finished." The Board decided that November 20, the date set for the wedding of Princess Elizabeth, should be set aside as a school holiday in the , Townr-of 'Whitby.

These words from the prayer of remembrance fell upon a congrega- tion standing with heads bowed in reverence as Rt. Rev. A. R. Bever- ley, Bishop of Toronto, last nigist dedicated in All Saints' Anglican Church an honor roll bearing the names of those from the parish who served in the two world wars and Yicss who paid the supreme sacri- ce. As the two Union Jacks veiling the bronze and oak plaque were pulled aside by People's Warden Thomas Richardson and Matthew Kerr, chairman of the honor roll committee, Bishop Beverley dedi- cated the memorial to the glory of God and in loving memory of those from the parish who made the su- preme sacrifice and -of all who served. in the two world wars. In the prayers of remembrance which were followed by the Last Post and Reveille, he prayed that we might be made worthy of the sacrifice of those who served and that the victory for which they died might be established in endur- ing peace. Challenge To Better Lives Taking his text from Paul's sec- * a» ond epistle to the Thessalonians-- "Comiort your hearts and stablish you in every good word and work"-- Bishop Beverley declared that the sacrifice of these men will not have been in vain if those remaining ac- cept the challenge to reconstruct the world by living better, nobler and more selfless lives. Their sac- rifice taught, he stressed that the true value of life is in sacrifice and service. Statihg that through the war God was working out His plan, not in the way His perfect love would have had it but in the way men who neglected His ways forced upon themselves, Bishop Beverley refer- red to same "points of lights in the mystery of suffering in war." The first of these he saw as "an awakened conscience to the evils of our time"--an awakened conscious ness that if more had been done to relieve the evils of poverty, bad housing and unemployment, this terrible scourge might not have come, "We should realize that if we are to build a better world it will only be by each one of us having a greater sense of responsibility for me welfare of our fellowmen," he said. "It has brought also a realization > Pe that there are some things that are more precious than life itself," he continued, recalling how in the days of peace many were disposed to think that life consisted of material comfort and a life of ease and en- Jjoyment. Quality of Life The suffering of war had pointed out that it the quality rather than the duration of life that counts, i "Lives marked by the fulness of sacrifice have their own complete- ness and in a lesser human degree these men through their deaths share scme of the supreme sacrifice of Calvary," he reminded. What he termed greatest of all the points of light was "the truth that God is with us in our sense of loss". The sacrifice of Calvary was not only of Jesus but of the Father as well. Finally, there was the thought of life's relationship with God, that the same God and guiding hand recognized in life had welcomed these men in death. Referring to the challenge pre- sented by their sacrifice, he said there was no better balm for sor- roy than work and urged his lis- teners, many of whom had lost loved ones in war, to go out and do also' Senne ooo something kind--to project them- selves into the lives of 'others. 11 Casualties Inscribed in silver on the oak background of the tablet are the names of the six members of the parish who died in World War II and the five who died fn World War I. In dull bronze on either side are the names of 118 who served in the recent conflict and of 64 who took part in the first war, At the top is a cross and laurel wreath which was designed by a former member of the parish, R. R. Insole and be- neath the names of the casualties is the figure of a member of each of the three services and the Canadian coat of arms. Eaca column of names is headed by the emblem of the three services and edged with a maple leaf design. Members of the Whitby branch of the Canadian Legion and the Legion Ladies' Auxiliary attended the service in a body. The rector, Rev. A. G. Channen, officiated and Rev. Carl Swan, chaplain of the Ajax division of the University of Toronto, assisted in the service. Bishop Beverley also dedicated, earlier in the service, a plaque pre- sented by Miss Mary C. Macdonell in memory of her sister, Emily Lyons Macdonell, who died Septem- ber 8, 1941. 450-Pupil High School Is Goal, Booth Declares Establishment of a high school area embracing Pickering Town- ship, Whithy Township and the Town of Whitby--with a school of close to 450 pupils as the objective-- will opent up a broad new vista of opportunity for rural pupils, C. W. Booth, Department of Education high school inspector, told a meet- ing of Pickering Township ratepay- Dispelling reports that the depart- ment was manoeuvring to favor any one sector of the county, Mr. Booth said "anyone who dreams that the Department of Education prefers Pickering to Whitby or vice versa, is far astray." One earlier report quoted S. T. Rendall, senior high school inspec- tor for the department, as declaring he would "block any move made by Pickering Township to secure a high school area within the township." Outlook "Objective" "We're objective In our outlook and also idealistic as far as our young people are concerned," said Mr. Booth. In order to meet the needs of "a practical age," a broader educational program including division into aca- demic, commercial and technical branches was required, he pointed out, Minimum attendance to per- mit training of this kind was 300. "It isn't bigness we want," Mr. Booth emphasized. "Its the oppor- tunity that a large school provides." Check Dwindling Attendance Mr. Booth predicted that if com- mercial and practical training could be introduced, pupils who now drift- ed away after Grade IX or X would continue because they would be in- terested in the richer, fuller pro- gram fitting them for their particu- lar niche in life. Ina day of greater mechanization and wi opportunities, the con- in ion sthool "like the buggy has ed its usefulness," the Depart. ment of Education representative said. Declaring he didn't like "munici- pal rivalry," A. A. Archibald, dis- trict public school inspector, said the only standard to be followed in the setting up of a high school area should be: will it benefit the chil. dren of the district? "Some people only think of what their own municipality will gain in- stead of thinking whether a change will provide the most satisfactory education for our boys and girls," Mr. Archibald declared. "Let's work out what will be the most satisfactory education to make them useful happy citizens," he ad- vised.

HUTCHISON Galt, Nov. 12.--In the death of Dr. W. G. Hutchison, who died yes- terday morning at his late resi- dence, Queen street, after a brief illness, this community has lost one of its most respected citizens. Born at. Port Rowan, Norfolk County, the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Hutchison, Dr. Hutchison first began practice in Hespler in 1912, and in the inter- vening period until his death yes- terday morning he had served the community not only as physician and surgeon, but also in many other capacities, Dr. Hutchison established a re- cord as chairman of the board of health in which capacity, until his retirement from the board last year, he served: Yor 25 years. He was a member of St. Andrew's Pres- byterian church, and associated with the Masonic lodge. + Surviving are his wife, the former Florence Jean Marshall, and three sons, Robert, attending Western University at London, William of Preston and John at home. Three sisters, Mrs. C. H. Pierce, Hespler, Miss Della G. Hutchison, R.N., New York, Mrs. R. A. Thompson, Port Rowan, and one brother, Robert A. Hutchison, Whitby, also survive. Funeral service will take place from his late residence on Thurs- day, Nov. 13, at 230 p.m. Inter- ment will be in Hespeler cemetery. Fined For Careless Driving Patrick Lee, Toronto, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless driv- ing in magistrate's court here yes- terday and was fined $25 and costs by Magistrate Frank. S, Ebbs. The charge was laid by Whitby police following an accident on Dundas Street on October 24. Chief William Elliott told the court that the accused had been driving east on' Dundas Street shortly after midnight on October 24 and had allowed his car to wan- der across the centre line of the road, thereby forcing a westbound car into the curb where an accident took place. The chief told the court that arresting officers were of tne opin- fon that Lee was overtired and that this fact contributed to the incident. In passing judgment, Magistrate Ebbs told the accused that he had no alternative but to register a conviction but that he would refer the matter of license suspension to provincial authorities instead of or dering it cancelled for a tase. | month period. heard nearly 75 appeals submitted by citizens against the 1948 "equal- ized assessment." The completed record at the end of the session indicated that 30 as- | sessments had been confirmed by the court while an additional 29 as. sessments had been reduced in one form or another. Some of the re- ductions did not amount to a great deal but in one or two isolated cases the reductions were for a substan- tial amount. The remaining appeals concerned minor points which did not affect the assessment figures. Judge D. B, Coleman, appealing against an assessment of $8900, land and buildings, received a $950. reduction by the Court. In his appeal Judge Coleman stated that his assessment on his residence had been raised nearly 51 per cent and that he was strongly objecting to an increase of 'that magnitude. Judge Coleman told the court that his home was over 100 years old and that he did not think the age of the structure and its location had been taken into consideration by the assessor when the figure was set. In addition the judge pointed out that he did not believe the location was good considering the type of home it was. He also complained of a wet basement. He pointed out to the chairman, A. E. Plaskett, and the court mem- bers that last year he had been as- sessed for $6,370 and that this amount was made up of $1,570 for land and $4,800 for the building. Under the new assessment he said the figures were $1,570 for the land and $7,330 for the building. The assessment sev by the court Court of Revision Concludes Sittings, Heard 75 Appeals The 1947 sitting of the Whitby Court of Revision ended yesterday ' afternoon with a record of having: following the judge's appeal includes a total assessment of $7,950, made up of $1,570 for land and $6,380 for buildings. James Taylor appealed against an assessment of $5,450, land and build- i ings and was successful in having | his assessment reduced by $250 on the building. Harold Rowley appealed to the court to have his dance hall assessed on the correct building lots. This was done but the court confirmed an assessment of $7,710 on his pro. perty. The Alger Press were successful in their appeal and were awarded a $265 reduction from their previous assessment of $6,350. The land as- sessment of $750 remains the same, The reason for the reduction was given as changing the assessment i from that of a dwelling to that of a factory. Other assessments confirmed dur- ing yesterday's sitting were those for dwellings owned by James Han- ing Clive Hatch and W. F, Hold.
