PAGE FOUR THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE * SATURDAY, MARCH 13, 1948 LATEST NE W'S OF THE COUNTY TOW N OF WHITBY Business Office, Miss G. Macpherson, Phone 703, All Departments Oshawa Firm To Install $9,500 Heating System In County Court House Contract for the installation of a new heating system in the county Court House at a cost of approxi. mately $9,500 was awarded yester- day to H. R. Stark, of Oshawa. The work is to be completed by early next fall. After making a survey of the pre- sent heating system, Mr, Stark had reported to County Council that the system was not more than 25 per cent efficient. He had described the boiler as "absolutely done" and re. commended a two_pipe system rath- er than the present single line type. While Andrew Muir (reeve, Whit. by) expressed the view that tenders should be called for the job, the majority of members felt that this would cause delay and Mr. Stark was in a position to proceed with the work. It was pointed out that the installation should be completed by September 1, Purchase Files On recommendation of its pro. perty committee also, Council ap- proved purchase of 10 filing units for the registry office at an esti. mated cost of $1,500. No further discussion took place on the question of an addition to the registry office. It has been pointed out by A. W. Bell, registrar, that the present building will be entirely inadequate in two years' time. A duplicating machine is to be purchased too, at .a price of $405, for use in the county court house. In addition to being of use in the various departments this would also facilitate providing County Council members with copies of reports, etc. at Council sessions, In accord with the grand jury's recommendations at the present Assizes, a rest room is tp be provid- ed for female employees in the court house. * : Life Membership Is Presented To W.A.

Whitby branch of thé Red Cross is appealing this week for at least $2,300 as its share in the drive be- ing conducted by the Society across the Dominion for $3,000,000. While demands have eased since the, critical war years the Red Cross workers are called upon to supply clothing for needy civilians in Britain, comforts for veterans in the lodges maintained by the So- ciety in connection with all large veterans hospitals in Canada and supplies for the 71 Red Cross out- post hospitals and nursing stations maintained in remote sections of She country. With only time out for a stimu. lating cup of tea, between 20 and 25 members of the Whitby branch make the Whitby workroom a hive of activity from 1:30 to nearly 8 o'clock each Wednesday afternoon. Last year, the Whitby workers, under the direction of Mrs. H. H. Goode, chairman of women's work for the branch, and Mrs, F. E. Watts, sewing supervisor, forwarded between 700 and 800 articles to Red In addition, Cross headquarters. Mrs. C. E, Bowman, knitting con. vener, received more than 400 knit. ted articles made at home by the branch's 'many knitters. During the war years the Society made a total of some 139,000 articles. At present, quotas for Britain are the main project. Since Jan. uary the branch has shipped ap- proximately 25 children's night. gowns, 25 pairs of children's pyja- mas, 40 boys' and 26 girls' waists as well as some 50 pairs of men's py- jamas and hospital supplies.
