' This comment was made at Wednesday night's Remem- brance Day Banquet held by the Whitby branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, by Murray P. Johnston, of Oshawa, a former commanding officer of the On- tario Regiment. Mr. Johnston, guest speaker at the dinner, was referring to the Remembrance Day holiday given to all local school. chil- dren. NO SIGNIFICANCE "This is -ridiculous," Mr. Johnston said, ""Remembrance Day has no significance for these kids. They are not aware why we pass these two minutes silence every year. "Far better," he said, 'that we did it the way when I was at echool. At 11 in the morning on Remembrance Day the teacher just used to keep silence for the two minutes.

An eloquent report from Coun- ae cillor Don Waring, absent from PAROCHIAL ATTITUDE The matter of who should pay for walkways, or sidewalks, much in demand for safety of children on busy highways, was renewed by council. Such side- walks, which do not front on occupied land, and were for the benefit of school children, Coun- cillor W. G. Newman felt should not be a local improvement charge against the owners of the abutting land. He felt that' the area which used the sidewalks should be charged. "I jthink they should be charg- ed over the whole Township," said Councillor John Campbell. 'Roads are, yet more mainten- ance is required in the north part, because the south roads are paved." "We take this parochial atti- tude," he continued, "a balled up gutless attitude. As soon as there are a few charges which might burden the north. part, we start dividing things. The one way is to assess the town- ship a certain figure for side- walks, whether north or south. The reason it has not been done before is that we have not had enough guts to say we need so much for the said projects." "If we take an area like the entire township, how are we going to decide which sidewalks should be built first?" asked Councillor Hubert Wank. "By having some guts," re- \torted Councillor Campbell. Reeve Laycox was inclined to agree with Mr. Campbell, yet, with amusement, insisted on changing his phrases to "intest- inal fortitude", He emphasized erty on the west side of Dixie Block K in Bay Ridges -- as a desirable site- for a commun- ity athletic field, on which in the sometime future, when cir- cumstances permitted it, an arena could be built. He wrote about the "beauty and practicality'"' of this parcel, where services were available, the easy accessibility, and point- ed out that this was where the growth in population was taking place. He admitted that there would have to be fill plac- ed there to make all of the 12 acres useable. He urged his fel- low councillors to consider its purchase. BELOW ROAD GRADE Reeve C. W. Laycox stated that this land was much below the grade of the road. "It seems to me it will take 50,000 loads of fill, and more to bring it up te level." Councillor Bill Newman re- minded Council of the low lake levels, and said that a few years ago, when they were higher, that the land was extremoly wet. "It doesn't matter how much fill you need," said Councillor Hubert Wank, "It's practical to consider.

Well over 200 Legionnaires, in- cluding several First and Boer War veterans, attended the ban- quet held at the Legion's head- quarters on Byron street south. Councillor Newman felt this land well suited for the purpose and suggested that an option be taken on 'it, letting the final decision await the result of aol tests, and other investiga- ion. Blood Donors Are Needed Blood donors are urgently needed in the Whitby area, the Whitby branch of the Red Cross announced this week. So far this year the branch is down on its annual quota of 900 pints. Some 400 pints are still needed. The branch is hoping for a record turnout at its next blood donor session to be held on Nov. 16. As in the past the sessions will be held in the Canadian Legion Hall, Byron street south. The first session will be held between 2 and 4.30 in the afternoon. The evening session will be held between 6.30 and 9 p.m. For those without transporta- tion, arrangements to get to the Canadian Legion Hall can be made through Mrs. P. A. Chubb at 668-2627. Anyone in good health, be- tween the ages of 18 and 25, is eligible to give blood.
