PAGE FOUR THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE TUESDAY, JULY 6, 1948 LATEST NEWS OF THE COUNTY TOWN OF WHITBY Rusiness Office: Miss G. Macpherson. Editor: Robert Corbett, phone 2589 Phone 703, All Departments Proposal To Vote On Liquor Store Is Out Of Order Faced with a number of requests and petitions protest- ing its application for a liquor store, town council last night showed itself somewhat sympathetic toward the idea of al- lowing a vote to be taken on the matter but finally ruled the idea out on practical grounds. Asked for an opinion, town solicitor John Hare pointed out®- that when Toronto city council de- cided to conduct a vote on the ques- tion of cocktail lounges, an injunc- tion was obtained, preventing the spending of public money in this manner and a ruling made by Chief Justice McRuer that the vote should not be held. This ruling has not been appealed and remains binding unless re- versed by a court of appeal. Whitby is a wet area, Mr. Hare continued, and the question of establishment of the liquor store is entirely up to the Liquor Control Board. Council heard further petitions against the store from Mr. and Mrs. John N. Heade, a W.M.S, group, the W.C.T.U. and representative signa- tures from the Protestant churches of the town. Discussion on the liquor matter started when Councillor Ken Lee said: "I have never voiced my 'opinion on this before but I believe now that it would be only fair to have a vote on the liquor store question. I wil] move that this vote be taken at the next municipal election." Mr. Whitney: "I agree with the taking of a vote. I second the mo- tion." Mayor Davidson: "If this mo- tion goes through should our for- mer resolution asking for the store be rescinded?" Mr. Mace: "Who pays the cost of the vote? Perhaps at election time there would be an acclamation and in that event the cost of the vote would be high." Mr. Underwood: "Even if the vote was against the store we have ro assurance that the Liquor Board Four Doctors Now In Brooklin Dr. W. G. Grant has joined the staff of the clinic at Brook- lin, joining Dr. Orton and Dr. W. W. Baldwin, With another doctor, Dr. McKinney in private practice in Brooklin it is inter- esting to note that the village is very well supplied with medi- cal men for such a small cen- tre. would be guided by it." : Mr, Strathy: "The question is simple--if the citizens don't want a liquor store they'll fire us at the next election." Mr. Muir then asked for the num- ber of names on the petition (which was not intended to be a total of all those opposed but mere- ly representative). He was told there were 89. The reeve moved an amendment, seconded by Harry Jermyn, that the petitions be filed. D. B. McIntyre: "In view of what the legal ruling has been on holding a vote, the first motion seems to be out of order." Mayor Davidson ruled that it was cut of order. Then a recorded vote was taken on the filing of the peti- tions. Yeas: Muir, Jermyn, Strathy. Nays: Lee, Underwood, Whitney, Davidson, McIntyre, Mace, Two Lovely Weddings Sat.

In the same connection a letter from Arthur Williams, M.P., suggested that the request be renewed and re- inforced with some reasons for the request and pertinent facts as to past operations. Then he would be glad to further plead the town's case at Ottawa. The matter was referred to the Chamber of Com- merce. Delay Licence . An application of Ralph W.

Com- menting on the provincial experiment of encouraging local recreation commissions The Peterborough Examiner com- ments that it cannot yet be said that it has established itself as a governmental fixture; it will be an obvious spot for economy if this or any future provincial government has to retrench. Nothing can alter the fact, however, that the ex- periment has given Ontario municipalities a new outlook on the whole matter of recreation, and has helped many a town {to ravel out the tangled skein of its sports and pastimes. It is a plain fact that under the eye of the Recreational Association the amusements of the people of Whitby have been more numerous and better organized than ever before. Whatever changes the future may bring we do not think that this town will ever be able to manage its pastimes again without some such body.

PHONE 522 WHITBY, ONT. oo (July6-8) Milling Subsidy Hinted In Ottawa For Bread Control Ottawa, July 6--(CP)-- Reports are current here that the govern- ment is considering payment of a milling subsidy to keep down the retail price of bread when the ex- port price of Canadian wheat ad- wances at the week-end. Beginning Aug. 1, the wheat price under the four-year Anglo- Canadian contract rises from $1.55 to $2 a bushel. This will mean a one-cent advance in the price of a loaf of bread unless the govern- ment takes steps to absorb the in- crease. Other reports said the -govern- ment also was considering the use of a subsidy-and the imposition of rice ceilings to keep down the cost of meat if and when the embargo n beef cattle shipments to the high-paying . United States market 5 removed. If livestock move to he American market without such 'cntrols, retail prices in Canada au- tomatically will rise, the month of June.

The new roll of honour will include the names of Whitby men who were killed in the 1914-1918 struggle. Notified that the plaque is near- ing completion, council members were unsure of the insignia on it. Some felt the Whitby coat-of-arms was to be inset on the plaque while others believed it was the coat-of- arms of the Dominion. The result was a letter to be sent to the con- tractor ensuring that the Whitby shield be placed on the plaque.
