WARNER BROS EBENETT ONES WOOREEAD 100 DACRE ER ues J wa | No More Cuts Likely In Power Here Hydro officials in Whitby are not certain whether or not a new H.EP.C. edict last weck may be felt here. A Canadian press despatch stated that mu- nicipalities are now on a day- to-day basis and wili not get any more power than their quotas. This could mean that if Whitby exceeds its allotment as has been the cas: lately, another cut might be imposed from out- side the municipality. However, Superintendent H. L. Pringle has received no word to this effect. Today i. seems improb- able that Whithy will be called upon to take more tan the three 1-hon. switch-offs now in force.

The men are Peter Serson and William Evans of Sioux Lookout, Rev. Earl Serson and Fred Besley of Stateboro, Ga. They left here Friday morning in an outboard motorboat, expect- ing to return by noon and taking only a few sandwiches along. In the afternoon, search parties were or- ganized. Ontario Provincial Police are planning an aerial search Monday to: augment ground forces.

Editorial Comment | | Little result usually follows after a newspaper performs |its annual duty of trying to create some interest in the | municipal elections. A great many capable citizens never | hold public office for a variety of reasons. Sometimes it is | alleged that as a consequence important civic tasks are left {to those not so capable. Be that as it may, the coming | elections on December: 6, in Whithy are somewhat more | important than usual. | Sometimes it is alleged that a consequence important civic | tasks are left to those not so capable. Be that as it may, the coming elections on December 6, in Whitby are some- | what more important than usual. It is agreed that Whitby will enjoy a period of expan- {sion in the next decade although we are not willing to con- cede that this growth will be as large as. many seem to ex- | pect. For this reason it is important that a strong town | council 'be 'elected. But this cannot come about unless {capable men stand for nomination. With all respect and appreciation for a multitude of good works of the present council, taking it as a whole it is not the strong municipal body which Whitby deserves. Even more important than council personnel at the present time is the composition of the Public and High |School Boards. | dissolved. . The new public school board faces many prob- the erection of the new school for which tenders are now called, and the large renovation program just getting un- der way. Next year six members will be called upon to ad- minister this large program. As far as is known at this time only two of the present members will be sitting in 1949, namely Charles Snelgfove and John Hare whose termgrhave one more year to run. Peter Draimin has in- timitated his intention to withdraw in favor of :sppoint- ment on the High School board. The terms of D. J. Kean, Mrs. Frank Wells and R. A. Hutchison expire. A non-elective body, the new High School area board of eight persons will also have its hands full. The present school is overcrowded with no indication of when a new Pickering township school may be built which would re- lieve the situation here, temporarily. Also beset with im- portant administration problems, the composition of this board also deserves careful thought. It will be composed dicated that Donald Wilson, Peter Draimin and John Hare will be these three. Whitby township appoints two, one of whom will likely be John Dryden of Brooklin. The county council has named one, Douglas Thompson of Brooklin. Whitby separate school board will appoint one and the new public school board will appoint one, totalling eight. During the past year there have been several mem- bers of the Board of Education who are absent more often than they attend. There are others who add little or no- thing to the discussions. Others make it a practice to leave Without hesitation we say that these members should not be re-elected or. re-appointed. They are simply "dead wood" on the board. If Whitby is to develop in the next few years it must rid itself of these persons who hold seats on public boards for reasons other than to give 100 percent service, ° ; Often overlooked at nomination time, the Public Util- ity Commission also deserves its share of capable men and has been so favored in the past. In calling these matters to public attention a few weeks before nominations (November 26) it is the hope of this paper to influence certain citizens to stand for public office. Tiose Who ental the election contest and alc de~ feated have nothing to be ashamed of. On the contrary, they can be proud of having enough intelligence to offer themselves for public service. 4 The present Board of Education is being | lems and several major projects, outstanding of which is | of three appointees by the town council. It has been in-. meetings while important business has yet to be transacted.

Arabs, Jews Begin \ Talks Sources close to the Israeli Foreign Office said yesterday that peace talks are under way between the Egyptian and Israeli governments. (A member of Egypt's delegation to the United Nations in Paris denied the report, while Israeli in- formants in Paris would neither confirm nor deny it. Authoritative U.N. sources said they had no knowledge of such negotiations.) The Jewish sources said the con- versations have been in progress for several days, either in Paris or Geneva, : They said Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe Shertok was en route to Paris and had undertaken the trip more because of the peace talks than because of scheduled U.N.
