G. Park of Whitby United Church spoke of the "Irreparable Past -- The Available Future." For his text he took the farewell words of Christ to his disciples "Sleep on now . . . Arise, let us be going." "In these two vivid phrases" said Mr. Park, "Christ has etched a pro- found truth about life--the truth that life has two contrasting or complementary sides--"An irrepar- able past, an available future." "I conclude tonight," continued the minister, "seven years of min- istry at Whitby. They have been happy, fruitful years, and I am proud of the progress this church has made during my incumbency but I am haunted also by the things I might have done that I haven't done and now can never do." Mr. Park spoke of the opportuni- ties that were still open to all -- The opportunity of being useful, the opportunity for friendship, and the opportunity to become better acquainted with Jesus Christ. Three Baptized During the service the Sacrament of infant baptism was performed for Victoria Gail, daughter of Mr, . | and Mrs, Vernon K. Rowe, for Ray- mond Charles son of Mr, and Mrs. Clarence Reeson and Lynn Eliza- beth daughter of Mr. and Mrs, Frank Every, of Napanee. ! At the session before the service seven members were received into the church. Two were by certifi- cate and five by profession of faith, Four of the five had been in the King's uniform. Mr. Wallace Young was in charge of the music for the morning and at this service the choir sang Stainer's "God so Loved the World." In 'the evening, the choir was under the direction of Mrs. Vernon Rowe, Mrs. O. G, Park and Mrs. E. B. Killens sang Jude's setting of "When I Survey." Mr. Park and his family left to- day for his new charge in Chatham. He carries the good wishes of many jocal citizens with him. Clothing Drive Was Great Success The National Clothing Drive which has been conducted in Whit by for the past two weeks under the auspices of the Whitby Rotary Club, was highly successful accord- ing to all reports. In the Council Chambers a large mound of boxes - | and bales testifies to the generosity of the local citizens, or did until this morning, when it was packed in a truck and shipped to the Pure Food Building at the Exhibition. The speed with which this cloth- ing is delivered to the needy in Europe and Asia is shown by the letter, thanking him for his dona- tion to the clothing drive, received by an Oshawa boy last week. The letter came from a Belgian nurse colors, | who had distributed clothing sent by the Oshawa boy! parbers EPHONE 35 o18 PPOPIeY Refreshingly Air Conditioned TODAY AND WEDNESDAY TWO SHOWS AT 7:00 AND 9:00 mo by Virginio Van Upp, John Jacoby and Sit Tobias THURSDAY - FRIDAY SATURDAY ; ome Unveil Honor Roll St. Andrew's Men Who Saw Service A specia] service was held at the St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church on Sunday, during which a memor- ial plaque, was unveiled by Mrs. Fred Irwin, The memorial bears the names of the 58 communicants of 8t.

Young Ladies Softball Notes Game practice at the Town Park as usual--Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Be there tonight. * bP The Whitby Ladies' Softball team visited Ajax last evening to play an Ajax team, and they came back tri- umphant by a score of 19 to 8. Both teams played heads-up ball in spots. A little more attention to the finer points of the game by both teams will make a noticeable improvement when they come to- gether again in the return match to be held in Whitby in the near future, This was the first time either team had played an outside team, Of course the Whitby team is elated by their win. Rita Hansen hit the only home-run of the game, a long lift into left field.. The game was played on a regulation men's diamond, which was something" for ladies to tackle, but the running will develop thelr wind. The names of those playing for Whitby are as follows: Misses Ruth and Mary Lowe, June and Joyce Cowling, Jesh 1 Huntley, Birdie Har- low, Elma Ni Margaret Smith, Reta a Joan Clarke, Helen Povinsky, Carol Curtis, Thelma Pinder and Rosana Church...

Mayor Presents Rings At Two Hour Ceremony Heavy Downpour Forced Cancellation of Sports And Band Concert, But Not of Presentations -- Dance in Town Hall The downpour which broke the heat wave of the past week failed miserably in its attempt to break up the Civic Reception yesterday, bBo it caused a few changes in the program. The veterans who marched down to the park, and the crowd that came to applaud them, stayed on through the rain, and though somewhat damp, did not appear downhearted, A cheer went up for each of the almost 400 warriors as he marched up onto the platform to receive his ring. The presentations, by Mayor Robert M. Deverell and members of the Council, lasted for two hours, and the signet rings which the Town of Whitby gave to each veter- an as a token of gratitude, were universally admired. When the rain showed the first signs of abating, the loud speaker system was set up, and Councillor Robert McNee, who is the chair- man of the Reception Committee, called on Mayor Deverell to wel- come home Whitby's soldiers. On Behalf of Town "I just want to welcome you home on behalf of the town," said the mayor, "and to thank all the ex- members of the forces and the eiti- zens who turned out today." "I want you all to be just as good citizens as you were soldiers," he continued. "We must not forget those who will not come back. They expect you to do a good job in ecivil- ian life the same as we are expect- ing it." Mayor Deverell then asked for a minute of silence in respect to the dead, and while the band softly played "Abide With Me" the crowd stood reverently at attention. Rings Presented Councillor McNee then took over again and announced that the sports events as well as the band concert were washed out by the weather, and that the next item on the program would be the presenta- tion of the rings. Here again the organization of the whole affair was evident, as a table was set up where the lists were checked, and the veterans sized for their rings. From the table the route led to the platform where the mayor, assisted by Deputy-reeve Andrew Muir, Councillor J, Wilson and Fred James, presented the gifts, and an- nounced the veteran's name over the microphone. For the next two hours a steady stream of Whitby's ex-servicemen and women were given the ring by the mayor and a cheer by the spec- tators, A refreshment booth, oper- ated, operated by members of the Ladies' Auxiliary, supplied hot dogs and soft drinks to the thirsty and hungry crowd, while this was going on. The next-of-kin of those who lost their lives received their trays from Mr, McNee, and both the trays and the rings drew very favorable comment from all who Inspected them. Culmination of Year's Work Yesterday's ceremony was the culmination of almost a year of work by the members of the Citi- zens Reception Committee, and evi- dence of the public support and appreciation of their work was ob- vious in the number of Whitbyites who watched the parade and then braved the rain to see the presenta- tions. Along with the chairman, Mr. McNee, who has been working steadily on the project for many months, there were various sube committees, whose efforts were no less strenuous. The List Committee, which, with considerable difficulty, drew up the complete list of names of Whitby servicemen, had as mem- bers, Mr. Wilson, Harry James and Francis McIntyre. Responsible for choosing and or- dering the gifts, were Frank Thread- gold, D. A. Wilson and Warren Mo- wat, and the members of the En- tertainment Committee were Mrs. F. Wells, William Harden and Fred James, entertaifment were cancelled for obvious jregsons, the dance in the Town fom last night drew a huge croy he Sports Committee, all bf the Legion, who had a {While some parts of the program of sports for the veterans' families, consisted of Bert O'Dell, Morley Moore, A. Denyer and Mr. Threadgold. The climax of their hour was to have been the tug-of- war between representatives of the three services. Also helpful with the work of the Reception Ccenmit- tee were Miss M. O'Dell and John R. Frost. Local Grads Win Academic Honors Former pupils of Whitby High School brought honour to them- selves and the school during the past week, Marion Irwin and John Thompson passed their first year examinations in the Commerce and Finance Course at the University of Toronto with first class honours. John was fifth, and Marion twelfth, in a class of about three hundred and fifty pupils.

SOUTH Phone 321 'from a lone hit, and JUNIORS DOWNED BY GREENWOOD'S Seventh Inning Rally Cost Whitby Team Five Runs (By NEIL MacCARL) Whitby Rotary Juniors were coasting along with 3-1 lead in the top half.of the seventh last night, when Hodgson ran into a streak of wildness. Before he got things under control, he had. walked four, hit one and given up a hit and the Toronto "Greenwood's" had scored five times, which enabled them to take the decision in the holiday exhibition game. Hodgson had pitched three hit ball up to this point and had received excellent support from his mates who had -gathered five hits, including a cir- cuit blow by Reed. Some Good "Juniors" Jimmy Dowling, probably the finest amateur catcher in Toronto, and George Beatty, a couple of boys who have not seen junior com- pany for over twenty years except from the coaching box, made their appearance in the starting lineup for the visitors, along with Jimmy Dean, another fellow who has pass- ed his "junior" days, and they put on a real show for the local ball fans with their base stealing, and all round play in the first couple of innings, Dowling was getting limbered up for the Old Timers All Star exhi- bition game in Toronto in a couple of weeks, and he showed he still 'Know how' as he banged out a first inning single, and promptly stole second and third, before he was caught nap- ping on a quick throw from Harden to Rae. Beatty, also looked good, doing a three inning stint on the mound and giving up only one hit, a triple by Lintner, who scored on a throw to first, and put Whitby into the lead. Art Tapper took over Mound duties in the fourth, and was the victim of a two run rally that gave Whitby a 3-0 lead. With one out, Reed picked out one of Tapper's straight and fast ones, and smashed it over the centre fielder's head for a home run, Yuill grounded out, but Harden kept things going with a single, stole second, and scored on McCloskey's single, Seventh Was Bad The visitors finally burst out front in the top half of the seventh. Philips walked to open the inning but was erased on Upton's fielders choice. Tapper grounded to the pitcher, but the throw to force Up» ton. at second was not in time and both runners were safe. Serino drew another walk to load the bases, and Gagnon's bunt scored a run. Woodrow again filled the bases, and a pass to Oddie walked in the tying run, Philips was hit by the pitcher, and Serino came in on the play to go ahead 4-3. Dean's single drove in two more runs, increasing their lead to 6-3. Whitby tried hard to rally in the last of the seventh, but it was too late, and the best they could do was one run. Reed paced he homesters at the plate, with a home run and a single in three trips.

OSHAWA DROPS ONE 10 LEGIONNAIRES First Home Game for Whitby Team Is 11-5 Victory (By NEIL MacCARL) Jack *McLean was the hero of a holiday softball game yesterday morning, as he hurled the Whitby Legion nine to an 11-5 win over Oshawa Legion Intermediates. Not only did Jack pitch a fine game, but he batted out a lusty triple, driving in two runs, and he stole home with another in a hectic fifth inning, The local Legion team made their initial home start an impressive one, and although they got only seven hits they mixed them up with an equal number of walks, and some fancy base running that saw them steal everything in sight ex- cept the band platform at the other end of the park. The team played heads up ball all the way, and if they continue to display the same brand of play in their regular league games, they should draw a | large band of followers. Fifth Was Big Inning For the first two innings it was strictly a pitcher's battle, both on the mound and at the plate. In the second frame, Clapp, the 'Oshawa hurler slammed out a double scor- ing Menaul and MacNally, who had walked and doubled ahead of him, The Oshawa lead was short lived however, as Whitby evened things up in their half of the inning with a two run rally. McLean, not to be out done by his opposing mounds- man, clouted out a lusty triple that drove in Allin and Burkhart who had. drawn walks. Whitby's 'big inning came in the fifth, when they collected four runs some extra fancy base running that so be- wildered the Oshawa team, that two runners stole home, McLean opened the inning with a walk, and Dafoe got a safety | when MacNally could not get to his short pop. Clapp took the next two batters on strikes, but Pearce walk= ed to fill the sacks, Then McLean Centennial Celebrated * At St. J ohn's Church Archbishop Owen Paid Trid| bute To Work of Pioneers + In the Church--Church Supper To Be Held To- morrow St. John's Anglican Church, Port Whitby, celebrated the 100th Anni- versary of the building of the church on Sunday last. A century has passed since the first rector, Rev. John. Pentland held the first service in the newly erected build- ing and preached on the text, "Mine house shall be called a house of prayer for all people." During its years of service the church has been the physical and spiritual landmark for sailors on the lake and for those who lived in the countryside around. In its pleasant churchyard, memorial stones bear the name of pioneer families who first settled and struggled in this part of Ontario. Its sweet-toned bell has, for de- cades, called the devout of the parish to prayer, in its sheltering walls. Reviews Early Days During the morning service, His Grace, The Most Reverend Derwyn T. Owen, Archbishop of Toronto and Primate of all Canada, preach- ed in commemoration of the 100 years in which St, John's had serv= ed the community. His Grace reviewed the early days of the church and spoke of the pioneers who laboured to make pos- sible the building of the church. He mentioned names of many who had come as young men to minister in the parish for a short time and who later attained prominence for their good works throughout Can- ada. In paying tribute to Rev. D. B. Langford for his 22 years of service in the parish the Archbishop said, "The best definition of a word is usually a person, and I know what "Sincere" means when J come to 8t. John's and am in the presence of the rector". "Mr, Langford is so devoted, so true", continued His Grace, "that I always feel better after association with him." Two Baptized During the afternoon service two brothers, who spent most of their lives in Port Whitby brought their infant daughters for baptism. Wing Commander and Mrs, J. N. Blow presented Carol Anne and Mr. and Mrs. Richard Blow presented Linda Merle. At the evening service Rev. J. H. Pogson, the previous rector, de- livered the sermon. He spoke of the pioneers who worked so faithfully for the church. He dwelt at some length on his own happy ministry there, and the 75th anniversary which occurred during his incumb- ency. Rev, Gordon Channen assisted at came racing home when the ball got away from McNally momentar- ily, and before the dust had cleared, Dafoe came sliding in with the sec- ond run of the inning. Another walk to Knibb, again put two rune ners on, and then Menaul muffed Allin's grounder and they both Seared to increase Whitby's lead to Clapp continued to wield a po- tent bat on his own behalf in the sixth, as he banged out his second double in three tries, and scored Weatherup who had walked, So Was Sixth Whitby went further out front in the home half of the sixth, with a five run splurge. Bragg's double driving in two runs was the big blow of the inning, with Dafoe and Knibb each getting singles. Oshawa tried hard in the top half of the seventh, but they were too late. Barnes' long fly was misjudged by Price and he got four bases. Tay- lor followed with a long triple, but was thrown out at the plate in try- ing to score on McMullen's field- er's choice." McMullen scored after Wilson popped to the catcher and Weatherup singled, but Thompson popped up to the short stop in a pinch hit role to end the game. Dafoe was the only Whitby bat- ter to be a repeat hitter, as he got two for. four, but McLean with a triple and a pair of walks, and Al- lin with a single and a walk had a perfect day at the plate, Knibb and Philips contributed a couple of fielding gems to the winning cause.
