BATURDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1952 THE DAILY TIMES - GAZETTE PAGE FIVE HITBY NEWS Commission Continues To Say Nothing--Police Budget For4-Man Force Though. still maintaining an of- ficial silence on all matters of police administration ' in Whitby, it is learned that the Police Commission will soon hold a.meeting to dis- cuss the possibility of re-establish- ing a local force. Since October 1, 1051, the Ontario Provincial Police have had a five-man detachment in Whitby. It is believed that applica- tions may be called with the view to establishing a local force by April. However, this information is unofficial since the commission has held few meetings so far this year. Meanwhile, the council has had to make up its budget without re- ceiving any budget from the Police Commission. A tentative amount of $18,500 will be levied for police pro- tection -- approrimately $2000 more than last year. This new amount is based upon the possible employment of a chief of police, a sergeant, two constables and possibly a cadet un- der the age of 21 who be in training and who could look after mechanical operation of the parking meters and do certain office work. ° ° Many Join in ° Tribute to . § " ° TheLateKing Some stores were open and others closed for all or part of yesterday, the national day of mourning for King George VI, but the call for two minutes of silence was generally observed in shops and factories.

Oh well, better luck next time, girls. On Monday the Port Perry boys' teams visited us and were both de- feated. With the completion of those games a two game total points to count play-off series resulted. The first games were played in Port Perry Tuesday afternoon in which our juniors lost by five points and i seniors won by three. The nal and deciding games played here Thursday saw our juniors go down to defeat in a 33-31 score and our seniors came out victorious in a 75-42 triumph. Our congratulations go to each team but especially to our juniors who put up an extremely game | fight in a losing cause. ; : | Next Tuesday and Wednesday af- | ternoons the Tamblyn Public ! Speaking contests will be held in | the assembly hall to determine the | best speakers in the school, | Following this on Thursday af- ternoon, a skit program will be put on in which each form must pro- duce a skit.

Act of Dedication and Scripture reading were given by Rev. P. C. Reed, Lindsay, clerk of the Associa- tion. Dedication address was offered by Rev. Lee Begg of Oshawa First Baptist Church. Dedication address was delivered by Rev. J. G. B. Armstrong who spoke of the purpose of parsonage and value of home life in the min- istry. Benediction by Rev. C. A. Hall followed.

In reverent silence, the large congregation stood for the Last Post and Reveille, which followed the benediction, and the service fittingly closed with the national anthem, "God* Save the Queen." Legion color party was in charge of Sergeant-at-arms, Arthur Denyer, and the buglers were Wil- liam and James Wilde, The ex- servicemen met at the Memorial Hall and went to the church in a body. Parade Marshall was Joe Wilson and leading was Legion first vice-president, Jimmie Fraser. TRIBUTE TO LATE MONARCH "It is no exaggeration to say that he consciously practised the teach- ing of the poem in one of his Christmas broadcasts -- he "put his hand into the hand of God," declared the Rev. Gordon Channen, rector of All Saints' Anglican Church, in an address which paid eloquent and sincere tribute to the late King George VI, with thanks- giving as the dominant note. Bas- ing his remarks on the familiar words "George VI, by the Grace of God, King, Defender of the Faith." "Like the dominant note in a musi- cal chord, the note of thanksgiving rises above our grief, so that it expresses our mood and determines the character of this service," Rev. Mr. Channen said at the outset. "There is reason for thanksgiv- ing," said the rector, first, because in a very real sense our late sov=- eign ruled by the grace of God." "No doubt," said the rector, "his title means that he held his posi- tion with God's gracious permis- sion and approval. That is quite true. There is a sense in which all rulers, good and bad, exercise their authority with God's per- mission. St. Paul, a citizen of a despotic and pagan Empire, was nevertheless able to write, "the powers that be are ordained of God." But in the life of our King the title meant more. The grace of God is the power of God, and it is evident that our King drew his strength from that source. That divine power flowed to him, as it does to us, in many ways--through wise counsellors in Church and State, through the members of his family and the royal household, through the expressed loyalty of countless humble subjects -- but also through the worship and pray- ers and sacraments of the Christian Church. It is no exaggeration to say that he consciously practised the- teaching of the poem he quoted in one of his Christmas broadcasts --he "put his hand into the hand of God." We shall ever be grate- ful for the memory of his reliance upon God's grace," Rev. Mr, Chan- nen said. RULED AS OUR KING '""We are grateful, secondly, be- cause he ruled over us as our king," the speaker shid. In other times kingship has often meant tyranny and oppression. To us it means freedom. In the fifteen years of his reign that traditional freedom which our constitutional monarchy guarantees was--made more secure because 'he encour- aged its development. Freedom is a strange word. Philosophers find it necessary to write pon- derous volumes on the subject. And we are all aware that it SALLY'S SALLIES Copr, 1952, King Features Syndicate, Inc., World rights reserved. "Sometimes I really wish my darling were a profiteer or a poli J Srp" tician, or even a 5-Dercenter." ume ens dll A highly interesting meeting of Whitby Garden Club was held Thursday night at which the speaker was Mrs, E. Wright of Cedar Grove (near Markham), who showed pictures of he home west of Toronto and who gave an excellent eommentary on Garden club work. She was in- troduced by Mrs. S. I. Burns and thanked by Mrs. H. T. Fallaise. Colorful Valentine decorations in abundance illuminated the meeting hall. Two musical numbers were en- joyed, one by Archie Barnet of Port Whitby who played the guitar and sang, the other, piano selec- tions by Noel Corbett. Members 'also enjoyed a friendly club con- test, winners of which were Mrs. H. T. Fallaise and Miss Mabel Reesor. At the close of the meet- ing refreshments were served. Mrs. Wright said: '"The Whitby Garden Club is known throughout the province as a good working group and for the manner in which it has helped to beautify the town with hanging baskets, so much so in fact that Whitby is recognized not for its institutions but as a town of real beauty. Ap- preciating the interests in civic improvement, I wondered if you have looked ahead and who will carry on the work you have begun. Generally speaking, people inter- Valentine Party Features Garden Club Meeting Here ested in Garden Clubs are middle' aged and it is therefore only na- tural and indeed imperative that your heritage should be passed along. One of the most important projects by garden clubs is to pro- mote interest among juniors in agriculture or horticulture pro- ducts. "If we are to perpetuate some of the work that is going on to beautify thi fine province of ours and it should be a major project to build up interest among . young people. It has been found through experience that children enjoy hav- ing their own groups to work out projects with and an important part of junior groups is enthusi- astic supervision. The age limit is important. in junior groups. It might be kept between 9 and 15 and the best co-operation will be found through Boy Scouts, Guides, Junior Farm Clubs, Junior Wom- en's Institutes and Home and School. There are countless ex- citing fields of adventures for these young people to explore through Garden. Clubs. The Jun- jors can follow up the work you have begun in beautifying the town, through improving of school grounds." The speaker also commented upon the value of Bird House com- petitions and Seed Distribution projects. doesn't mean that we can do just as we please. All freedoms have their limitations, the element of bondage is never edtirely ab- sent. Freedom probably means that we may choose what bonds shall restrain and govern our ac- tions. We speak of the bonds of fellowship, of matrimony, of loy- alty. To quote from St. Paul again, he declared that he discovered perfect freedom when he became the bondservant of Jesus Christ. So we took upon ourselves the bonds of 'constitutional monarchy. I make bold to say that as sub- jects of our late King,' said the rector, "We enjoyed greater free- dom than any other people on earth. There is no need for Cana- dians to struggle for independence e--we already possess it. We need not be sensitive about our status as a nation--all we have to do is to show by our conduct that we can fill the place of responsi- bility that has already been given to us. WOULD RETAIN DOMINION "I think that is why I felt dis- appointed to learn that. it was considered necessary to drop the term "Dominion" from the title of our nation," said Rev. Mr. Channen. : "The 72nd Psalm, which was the source and inspiration of the title; makes it quite clear that our fore- fathers intended that Canada should be known, not as a nation in subjection to any other nation, but as the King's dominion. And regardless of the name, it is still that. When a young man comes of age, he does not need to change his name or sever his family ties in order to demonstrate his inde- pendence. Nor do we. The Statute of Westminster was the acknowl- edgement that Canada had "come of age." Of course, the dropping of the term "Dominion" is a small matter, but it is a nuisance. We shall, for example, have to change the first line of the third verse of the National Anthem, 'Our loved Dominion bless." . What word should take its place? The word "realm" is good, but it won't 'fit into the metre of the verse. The word "republic" fits the metre very well, but I sincerely hope that no one will get any ideas from that fact. Republics are fine, but I cherish the guarantee of our freedom which we possess because we are part of the King's domin- jon. It is a second great reason for our thanksgiving." FAITH AND FREEDOM Rev. Mr. Channen, continuing his discourse, sald that a third cause for a thankfulness lies in the fact that our late Sovereign was in title and in conduct "De- fender of the Faith." In his life these were no empty words. As our King, he guaranteed freedom, including freedom of worship, to all his people regardless of their religion; as Defender of the Faith he maintained and promoted the welfare of the Christian religion, and bore personal witness to his own allegiance to it. "Here," 1 cannot avoid repeat ing something I said to my own congregation last Sunday morning. He held the Christian Church in honor, and participated in its work and worship. Who can meas- ure the influence that fact has ex- Council (Continued from Page 4) without much criticism. The total from the three school boards is very close to the cost of education last year. Mayor Jermyn reiterated his fa- miliar views on PUC management of the sewage disposal plant when it came to the question of the sewer operating account, with the result that council cut that budget by ap- proximately $1,000. Wholesale slash- ing of the recreation budget is dealt with in another article in this issue. Speaking on the subject of in- dustrial promotion. Mayor Jermyn said personally favors far more than the $500 provided to promote in- dustrial progress and that "Whitby needs an industrial agent; I would- n't balk at paying $3,000 for that purpose. Industries are slipping man to work on them.' Then His Worship asked the balance of coun- cil for its views but little was add- ed to the discussion. Mayor Jermyn took issue with Treasurer J. R. Frost on the point of paving roads this year by way of more debenture issue. "Our debenture debt is high but not near the danger mark," said the mayor. I think it would be good business to spread the cost of the paved roads over five years so that that who use them will pay for them and if we should get large industries within that time, they will also pay a substantial share." Mr. Frost replied that a pay-as- you-go policy might be more ap- propriate on street paving. (Had council adopted original estimates, a 55 mill rate was in prospect.) erted upon his subjects! Many who were tempted to feel a little superior and to think they didn't need the Church have doubtless said, "If the King feels the need of attending Church services, I'd better do the same." And others who were tempted to say they were too busy have doubtless said, "If the King can make time for going to church, I can surely do the same." But it was not merely on this level that he revealed his faith. It was evident that the course he followed throughout his reign was governed by his belief in and loyalty in Christian teach- ing and Christian standarfls. He was a true Defender of the Faith." OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGE In closing Rev. Mr. Channen said that these were but three of the many reasons why the note of thanksgiving should and he be- lieved did ¢ predominate in the hearts of all at this service. "To us it.is not given to rule as kings, although many of us wield a meas- ure of authority on lower levels, but to all of us is given the op- ty and the challenge the xample he set, and to live by the Grace of God and be defenders of the faith," Rev. Mr. Channen con cluded.

Outside, before the build- ings, a great crowd stood bare- aded as the two-minute silence observed and cannon began firing 56 rounds in a salute to the departed monarch. The Parliament Hill ceremony started with the tolling of the 1100- pound Great Bell of the carillon high in the Peace Tower that rises above the parliament buildings. It tolled for 56 minutes--at the r~te of twice a minute--to mark the 56 years of the King's life.

Inside, a 100-man guard of honor, representative of the three armed services, lined the Hall of Fame.

The two minute silence, marked by the fir- ing of a single gun, began at 2:58 p. m. It ended at 3 p. m, with the first of the 56-gun salute, dne-round fired each 30 seconds for each year of the life of the King. High - ranking officials placed wreaths, five in all, before the velvet curtain, which was flanked by officer representatives of the Army, Navy, Air Force and RCMP. Each stood with head bowed, his rifle reversed. The first wreath was placed by Chief Justice Thibaudeau Rinfret, administrator in the absence of a governor-general. He was accoms- panied by Prime Minister St. Laur- ent. The wreath, from the people of Canada, bore a card with these words: "Canada mourns a great king and a good man," Senator Elie Beauregard, speaker of the Senate, placed a wreath and was accompanied by Hon. Wishart Robertson, govern- ment leader in the Senate. The third was placed by Speaker Ross Macdonald of the Commons, accompanied by Myr. St. Laurent and George Drew, Progressive Conservative leader. Lord Alexander, Canada's for- mer governor-general, placed one for the Canadian Legion and Mayor Charlotte Whitton another for the city of Ottawa. During the placing of the wreaths, a pipe band of the Cam- eron Highlanders of Ottawa played a highland lament. The ceremony ended with a flourish of trumpets and the play- ing of God Save the Queen, Originally, it had been planned to hold the ceremony at the Nat- ional War Memorial, on Ottawa's Confederation Square, but cold weather forced the government to move it indoors. In Montreal, the two-minute sil- ence was observed at o a.m., with a civic ceremony taking place at 4:30 p.m. at the Dominion Square cenotaph. An estimated 2500 mem- bers of the services took part. Schools and most business estab- lishments were closed. Solemn masses of supplication for the royal family were held in cathedrals in Montreal, Quebec City and other Quebec centres, They were attended by civic, mili- tary and government officials. Most Ontario centres paid their respects in one form or another. Church bells tolled to break the quiet of the winter day. Schools were closed, and memorial ser vices held in churches. In Toronto, 5000 persons gathered in Maple Leaf Gardens for an inter-denominational service which began at 8:15 a.m., and was attended by provincial and civil officials. Streetcars and buses stop- ped running for two minutes at 9 a.m. In London, Ont., a cannon shpk at noon signalled the 'start of the two minutes of quiet there. On the west coast, a solemn service of remembrance was held at the Hindu temple in Victoria, More than 300 members of the Sikh colony aj the service led by Sikh Hira, Singh, Scattered throughout the congre- gation of men, women and chil- dren were white bearded veter who had served as soldiers Of Queen Victoria.
