ROTARIANS HEAR NEW GOVERNOR George Ziegler Asks For Support of United Nations Charter George L. Ziegler, the new Dis- trict Governor of the Rotary Club, paid his first officialyvisit to the Whitby club on Tuesday. In 'fact the Whitby Rotarians were inform- ed that theirs was the first club to be visited by the governor since his election. The purpose of his visit was to tell the local members some- thing about the Rotary Interna- tional Conference held recently in the United States. Mr. Ziegler, who is the mayor of Parry Sound, was introduced by President Arthur Archibald. In his talk .he stressed the international work and influence of the Rotary Club, and sald that he had been most impressed at the Assembly by the number of delegates from other countries. 43 nations" were repre- sented at the convention. The United Nations Charter and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural . Organiza- tion, called UNESCO, were the two subjects which were most discussed at the meeting, he said. ' Must Work For U.N. "I appeal to you to further the cause of the United Nations, the speaker continued. "But I realize that you can't do this without in- formation about it." He explained that a be gained from the speeches of Ro- tarians who had been official ob- gervens at San Francisco and Lon- on, "We have to start at home to work for international understand- ing. Work is necessary. 'We can't hope to gain peace by simply set- ting up the U.N. Charter." Here, Mr. Ziegler thought, was where the Rotary International could show its value, by. giving its backing to this cause. , The work of UNESCO he de- scribed as, first, to educate the lay mind along the lines of interna- tional thinking, and this too, he thought, was something with which Rotary International could help. Mr, Ziegler, in concluding, said that he was thrilled with the pri- vilege of travelling around and meeting all the Rotag , and said that he hoped to see os many of them at the District Assembly In Orillia on September 12 and 13. The speaker wag thanked on be- half of the club Gordon Grobb, who sald that the Whitby Rotary Club was honored (by his visit, He added that the emphasis on inter- national thinking was especially welcome, as it will take all the ef- forts of Rotary plus to put it across. Mr, Archibald then thanked the members for their turnout and Jhe meeung closed. Council Discusses Fixed Assessment Discussion of the fixed assess- Whitby continued last night,' when Council was informed that the Em- pire Pant and Boys' Wear Com- 'pany had asked to have theirs low- ered to $500 because the cost of their plant was not to exceed $8,000 This the Council declined to «do, feeling that the previous assessment was low. enough. Deputy Reeve Muir suggested that new industries be put on a sliding scale of assess- ment, but this was not agreed to od the other members of the Coun- Their | belief was that . this ld tend to discourage larger in- sired, All fixed assessment bylaws must be voted on by the town before they become law, and another ques- tion mentioned was whether a vote should be taken as soon as possible or whether it should be left for the municipal elections. It is expected that these will be held early in De- cember this year, rather than on January 1, and 4t is probable that. these bylaws will be voted on " that time, Additional With.

STROWGER'S Funeral Service 215 DUNDAS ST. EAST PHONE WHITEY - 581 DAY OR NIGHT HIGHWAY DEPT. WILL AID BOARD Department Engineer At- tends Meeting of Plan- ning Board What building restrictions, if any, had been placed by the Department of Highways in the region of the four-lane highway where it passed through Whitby? If a bypass of Whitby from the four-lane highway to highway number 12 has been .| planned, where will it be located? Is it possible for the Town to ac- quire for factory sites, properties owned by the Department? These questions were asked of V. A. Hart, engineer from the Department of Highways by the Town Planning Board at its meeting last night. Mr. Hart promised .to place the gques- tions before the Department, and it is expected that answers will be received at the next meeting of the Board. Mr, Hart had attended the meeting in 'answer to. a request from the Board, addressed to the Department of Highways, for clari- fication of the Town's position in regard to planning the use of prop- erties adjacent to the new Highway. The Board was-advised by Wil- llam Davidson, president of the Chamber of Commerce, that al- though tenders for dredging the harbor closed on June 19, no word had been received regarding the possibility of an early start. There was considerable discussion about the harbor and the possibil- ity. of having a Poriion, or all of the marsh reclaimed. It was con- sidered 'that this land would be in an excellent location for heavy in- dustry, and as the areas considered were Town property no difficulty would be experienced in obtaining | dt. The work of chosing industrial and residential areas was continued and considerable progress was made before the meeting adjourned at 111.00 pan, Turns First Sod For New Building Wm. Davidson, 'President of the Whitby Chamber of Commerce, on Tuesday turned the first sod, sig- nalling the commencement of build ing operations for the first new in- dustry to be started in Whitby. since the Brunton Lumber Co., buildin were erected in 1939. The néw build ing, to cost approximately $10,000, will be ready for occupancy around the first of September, || When completed, the building will* house the Whitby : branch of the Empire Pant and Boys' Weak Co.

The start was made at the Library corner, and plans call for the replacing or repairing of one block, north and south, and east and west of the four corners, as the first step in a complete recon- ditioning of what have been term- ed "the worst sidewalks in On- tario." According to Councillor Fred Twist, chairman of the Streets Com- mittee, no great speed can be made until the arrival of the larger mixer, ordered early in the year, "Once we take delivery of that," promised the councillor, "we should be able to make worthwhile progress."

Apply Box 60, Times-Ga- el e ; (Jul), Legion Hears Report Of Dominion Meeting : Zone Commander Frank ea if the government does not do ( : its par rt." Threadgold Gives Report On Activities -- 15 New Members Initiated--Em- ployment Resolution Is Adopted Members of Branch 112, Canadian Legion, heard Zone Commander Frank Threadgold report last night that the membership of the Legion in Canada must number over one half million by now, as he told them' of the work done at the Dominion Conference held in May. At last night's meeting fifteen new members were .initiated and admitted to the Legion, and a res- olution was passed unanimously supporting the work of the Legion representatives on the Rehabilita- tion Committee in seeking to place ex-servicemen in-all available posi- tions. After expressing his appreciation for the gesture of the zone branches by which his expenses for the Que- bec conference were paid, Mr. Threadgold said that the treatment received by veterans today is tops compared to that received after the last war, This, he said, is due to the constant efforts of the 'old brigade" of the Legion who have been working at it for many years. He called on the younger veterans to see that the work is carried on. "The weight is on your shoulders now to see that veterans and especi- ally their dependants get a proper deal," he stated. Veterans' Housing Among the questions which came up at the convention, he continued, veterans' housing had received the most attention. The Legion pro- tests against the building of thea- tres etc. when the materials are needed for houses for veterans, and when veterans need houses. Also the opinion at the convention was that the government should do something more about low cost housing. It is considered now that 20 per cent of a man's income is all that should be paid for housing, and to make this possible the gov- ernment will have to take some ac- tion. g Mr, Threadgold gave as his own personal observation the apprecia- tion shown by the young veterans to the older ones for the work that they had done. And he concluded by saying that the officers chosen as the Dominion executive are ex- tremely efficient and are all out- standing men, J. Wilson moved a hearty vote of thanks to the speaker which was heartily seconded. Resolution The resolution passed at last night's meeting reads as follows: "Resolved that Branch 112, Can- adian Legion, unanimously supports the effort of the branch represen tives on the Rehabilitaljon Co tee in seeking to place\ex- men in all available po! tion to the notice of provincial and federal government representatives, also patronage committees, who have not to this date completely fulfilled by the promises made by both governments during war and postwar years." This motion was moved by James Fraser and seconded by A. W. F, Denyer, and passed unanimously, after Harry James stated that the co-operation that had been promis- ed earlier was not being received, particularly as regards the govern- ments. Mr. Threadgold, who is also one of the representatives, said, "We are only demanding what has been promised to us. The young men who are returning cannot be reestablish Tr O TO CHURCH SUNDAY WHITBY SERVICES, JULY 4 ii Appreciation for Reception Councillor R., McNee received the thanks, for himself, his committee and the town, for the gifts received by the veterans at Monday's Civic Reception, and expressed his ap- ° preciation for the way they had turned out for the parade. A report was received at the meeting that the referendum on the Service Bureaux had received an - 80 per cent affirmative vote, and that an extra dollar would now be required from each member of the Legion to carry on the work of these bureaux in: the cities of Ontario, "The amount is to be paid in two instalments, July 1, © This decision was hailed as one of the most forward steps taken by the Legion in some .time, and one, which was well worth while, No Higher R¢nt Decides Judge Two Whitby property owners made unsuccessful claims for ade justment of rental rates at the Court of Rental Appeals, held in. the Town Council Chambers yester= day. Judge J. E. Madden presided at the session: Miss Jennie M. McKee, 135 Byron! South, lost her appeal when she failed to bring proof that the rent fixed by the W.P.T.B. was lower than usual for similar rooms in Whitby. In a bitter denunciation of Ane drew E. Murdoch, head of the Rental Division of the WP.T.B. Miss McKee said, "Mr. Murdoch has been an enemy of mine since I came to Whitby, and has always been unfair to me." Judge Madden could not under- stand why Miss McKee should make that charge, "I consider Mr. Mur- doch one of our most able adjudi- cators," said the judge. "He does his best to be fair, and we have this court so that you may appeal against his decisions if you feel that they are unfair. It is fy experi- ence that there are very few times when it is necessary to reverse his decisions. In fact, far fewer than for many other men in his posi tion." The judge then went on to ex- plain to Miss McKee that she has failed to bring proof that her rents had been set lower than rates for similar rooms in Whitby and dis- missed the case for lack of evide ence. Frank Wells, 1437 Byron South, lost his 'appeal and the case was dismissed.
