G. Langford, Chair- | man of the Whitby Town Planning | Board, which describe the prin-| ciples of town planning, how real | estate values are conserved there- | by and how zoning by-laws are framed.) | Usually local governments are empowered to appoint a planning | commission or Board. The num- ber of commissioners varies but three, six or nine members is nor- mal. The mayor is generally a member ex-officio. A Board is sel- dom paid and the members hold office for a limited time. They are empoweged to spent such money as is granted them by the munici- pal government and with it may set up a permanent staff and en- gage advisors. The area with which they are concerned is defined and approved kv an officer of the pro- vincial ligislature, . It is usually specified in the en- abling legislation that the plan! shall include a series of documents, maps, graphs or expanatory mat- ter showing in precise detail both existing conditions and the propo- sals. In most cases, notices must be published drawing attention of the public to the fact that a plan is to be prepared, When the plans are made, they {are exhibited, following which |there is a public hearing of com- | plaints or other comments. These may necessitate some revisions. When the Board is satisfied that the olan embodies the best pro- visions for public welfare, it is pre- sented to the council for consider- ation. After council has approved it must be sent to the appropriate | officer in the provincial govern- | ment, for approval. If it.is approv- | ed, it becomes the official plan, | elements of which have the force of law. [ The legislation usually states { how the plan can be enforced and | Administration Of By-law Important When Zoning how offenders are to be dealt with. A Town Planning Board should be as representative as possible of all interests in the town. Members may be appointed to represent such groups as: School Boards, Chamber of Commerce, trade unions, churches, and welfare or- ganizations, Some members of the town council should be included, since it is essential that both legis- lative and administrative bodies be thoroughly informed of the plans. Normally the Planning Board will order the preparation. of a map of its area showing the fea- tures of the town as it exists. This will be a record of conditions at a fixed date. It is then necessary to collect the information on the town Which will be required for planning ater. So far, in most Canadian cities and towns, it has been customary to engage the services of a con- sultant whe collects data and draws up a master »lan for the area, One disadvantage in employing an outside consultant is the pos- sible lack of continuity in the col- lection and analysis of new data. The work of the Planning Board is not completed when the plan has been approved. It must also be administrated. Detailed sub- division proposals may be consid- ered from time to time. Develop- ment of new resources or changes in the national economy may re- quire a consideration of certain aspects of the plan. These mat- ters must be constantly reviewed. Slum clearance and the re-develop- ment of built areas are further problems. New public works will have to be integrated with the gen- eral plan. Street widenings may become necessary. It is quite ap- parent plans are of little value un- less they are followed and no part of such plan is more important than wise administiation.

Four skulls found party hopes to solve the mystery of the fabulous 'forbidden city" of Meta anim. { The city, deserted now for hun- dreds and perhaps thousands of | years, is sometimes called the Ven- | ice of the Pacific. Its canals are | faced with basalt blocks larger than the stones of the pyramids. Through a gateway 30 feet high, is the treasure chamber of the kinds of the sun, with 25-foot-high walls around it, six to 10 feet through. Great fallen columns lie across stairways and massive walls surround the city's deserted port. Not a step nor a human voice breaks the silence of the ruins. To. the natives the city is taboo. For more than a hundred years they have been telling white men that if they look too much they will die. ON PONAPE ISLAND | Metalanim is on the island of | Ponape, one of the long chain of | islands lying between New Guinea | and Japan, The city was apparently | {built on artificial islands on, the | offshore coral reefs and the chan- | nels were faced with the basalt | blocks and then used as water-| | ways. | No one knows who built the eity. in the ruins suggested to some {anthropologists that the builders were a negroid race. But a legend of Ponape suggests that if there were any negroes there, they came later, The legend says that the king of Metalanim was Idzikolkol at the time a fleet of ships with black men arrived at the island. Although the inhabitants were fat and lazy with good living, their fortifications held off the invaders until a dis- carded mistress of Idzikolkol be- trayed the city by leading the in- vaders to a weak place in the walls. : IRISHMAN'S ACCOUNT A book published in Boston in 1836 by an Irish seaman named Frank O'Connell gives an account of the ruins. He was wrecked on Ponape in 1825 and spent several years there before being rescued. Of Metalanim he wrote: '""There was a deep solitude, not a living thing except a few birds being discernible. "It is evident they (the ruins) are the remains of a people super- ior to the present inhabitants: nay, I may almost say dissimilar. The remains were evidently those of some ancient city or settlement, WHITBY DISTRICT BOWLING LEAGUE WEDNESDAY NIGHT SECTION In a close race .nd after taking three points Wednesday night, Dowty Equipment, the Ajax team, won the first section.

The service was conducted by Rev. David Marshall, Legion padre, assisted by Rev. Robert Scott and Rev. C. A. Hill. Captain Cleverdon's message was® one of clear challenge to persevere toward righting the moral wrongs of the world by following the dic- tates of the Christian religion. His text was from second Corinthians 10:4 ("For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God ..."") The rector said: "The bodies of our fallen comrades lie beneath the well-kept grass but they them- selves live on in the hearts and minds of those who care. They live on in the hearts and conscience of the nation. They gave their lives and received, each for his memory praises that will never die. MANY ARE ADRIFT "As the apostle Paul saw him- self engaged in a warfare against false ideas, he considered that his weapons were those of the spirit, divinely strong, and his aim was toward establishing the Kingdom of God. The text suggests our respon- sibilities in the post-war world. We too, like Paul, are caught up in a conflict of ideas, Christian values and our way of life are being chal- lenged. In the upheaval which fol- lowed two world wars many persons are adrift on a treacherous moral sea. They are in danger of being embraced by other faiths, by other philosophies competing for their al- egiance, "The situation is grave. It is a call to arms. The struggle is not going to be easy for us. We need more of the spirit of co-operation in order to present a united front for our ideas. "Some things are eternally wrong: treachery, tyranny, all those things which degrade and despoil human personality and which are not to be tolerated by decent people. These we must shun. We are called to do unceasing warfare with them. But some thingsy are uriceasinzly right. Common decency, simple honesty and the principles of the sermons on the Mount. These things are principles that stand immov- able through the ages. These abid- ing integrities call for our whole | allegiance. They are ours to de- fend--not on the premise of might | is right, for war inevitably produces | moral and ethical chaos."

Dr. Wilfred | Grenfell medical pioneer on the | ice-jammed north coast, brought a herd of 250 domesticated reindeer from Lapland in 1908. The herd found the terrain and food supplies to its liking and mul- tiplied to 1,200 in four years. But indiscriminate slaughter during the First World War decimated their numbers and those left turned over to the Canadian government. The area planned for the new attempt is north of Lake Melville and might extend to the extreme limits of population along the coast, Reindeer like sub-arctic climate and vegetation and can survive without any kind of shelter. Unlike moose, reindeer will not be treated as game. They'll be a domesticated animal providing meat and hides.

(Nov22) Never Caught, Fish To Die 01 Old Age TORONTO (CP) -- Millions of pounds of fish in Ontario waters are being allowed to die of old age, the department of lands and forests said recently in a bulletin. Much of this poundage is made up of what are commonly called coarse fish--suckers, alewives, sea lampreys, carp and a small deep- water herring. But the flesh of these fish, the department says, is actually palatable and can be put to good use as food. The department is encouraging Ontario fishermen to net more of these coarse species to sell as food, thereby leaving greater food sup- plies for more desirable types. The main use for coarse fish still is as food for domestic ani- BUSINESS and PROFESSIONAL | MINERAL WOOL HOME INSULA- tion. Blowing method batts, etc. Any: where within 50 miles. Free estimates.
