And building operations be- gan today on the factory itself. The ceremony marks the conclus- fon and success of a six week effort on the part of the local Chamber of Commerce to convince the own- ers of the Natlie Knitting Company of the desirability of establishing their new firm in Whitby. The new factory will be built on lots 88, 89, and 90, on the south west corner of John and Ash Streets, in the northeast section of the town. The land was previously owned by the municipality, and as a part of yesterday's activities, the mayor received from Nathan Lieb- erman, the new owner, a cheque for the property, and in return gave to Mr, Lieberman a deed of ownership. The contract for the construction of the building was given to H. Porath, of the Porath Construction Company, of Whitby. Estimated Cost $30,000 The new factory, when completed, will be a one storey building, 60 by 180 feet, the front being red brick and the remainder of cement block. Estimated cost is $30,000 and the estimated date of completion, which due to the shortage of supplies is quite indefinite, has been set as December 1. Company officials say they are ready to get into produc- tion as soon as the building is com- eted however, and are confident at this will be nearer October than December. To face on John Street, the home of Whitby's newest industry will be a modern building, with as many windows as the wall space will allow and fluorescent lighting. Will Employ 100 The owners estimate that the plant will eventually employ 100 * people, mainly women, and say that as many as possible will be taken on when operations start. interviewed yesterday they said that they would have to start with relatively few girls and train them, enploving more as they went on.

As Clerk For 61 Years Passed Away Saturday Af- ter Short Illness--Family Record or gervice To Pic- kering Township Extends For 95 Years Widely known and respected for his work in municipal affairs, Don- ald Robert Beaton died Saturday at his late residence in Whitevale after a short illness. Mr. Beaton was for 61 years, until his retirement in April, 1944, clerk of the Township of Pickering, as his father had been for 34 years before him. He took over the position in 1883, upon the death of his father, and held it continuously until his re- tirement 61 years later, His father, Hector Beaton, became assessor and tax collector for the township in 1846 and clerk in 1840. Between them they have set up an enviable record of service by one family to a community, one that cannot in all probability be equalled elsewhere in the province, That service lasted for 95 years. It is said of the late Mr. Beaton that in all his 61 years in office he missed only two nomination meet- ings, He served under 25 reeves, nine of whom were elected wardens of the County of Ontario, His vast legal knowledge was of untold value to the township and his advice in help others hss heen and will. he long cherished by the citizens of the community, and by his friends who are widespread in the province.

Telephone 392, Whitby Undertaking OUR YOUTH TODAY [5 AT CROSSROADS --BAPTIST PASTOR Once Again Opportunity Offers For*Unifying of : Churches Speaking of the subject, "If I Were Twenty-one Today" at the Baptist Church Sunday evening, the minister, Rev. F. T. Darnell, stated his opinion.that no youth of any previous generation ever faced such opportunity either to make magnificent success or miserable failure of life, "No generation has even stood at the crossroads of crisis with so clean a prospect of the heights of the high road and the depths of the low road as this one." It is high time, said the minis- ter, that the. older generation ceased endeavouring to convince themselves and the youth who are taking their place in the moral and politica] scheme of things, that the world of years ago was such a Uto- pla of Christian attitude and be- havior. The youth of today, before whom education has placed the facts of the past with embarrassing accuracy, is not inclined to believe that we did such a thorough job in building a Christian world order. There is too much evidence to the contrary, It is time the older gen- eration made a few honest confess ions and ceased behaving as though all the evils began with the youth of today. When I was twenty-one, said the speaker, all the grand and eloquent talk about a post-war world of good-will, brotherhood and inter- national co-operation was begin- ning to sound thin and even states- ous leadership toward a co-opera- tive civilization by the Christian church. The world was sure that the church meant what it said. Others' voices, however, were lifted in the church itself, voices of those who cared more for caste and trad- ition than for the redemption of the race, and division instead of being healed was increased. A divided and distracted world turn- ed in vain to a divided and dis- couraged church. To the Christian youth of today I would say "Do not at all costs allow such a tragedy to be repeated, Let us show to the world that we do believe in one Christ who makes of one faith and fellowship all, in every land, who trust Him." 'The world will hardly believe the church, now since it is saying the same things it said after the last war, we shall only convince the conscience of our times by practi- cally demonstrating our passion to save and help and make one broth- erhood of all mankind.

Chorles Malcolm's Theme Is "Practical Christianity' "Jesus was a carpenter--a good carpenter. He would not let a piece of work out of His shop unless it was as nearly perfect as possible," sald Rev. Charles Malcolm, M.A, BD, in the United Church on Sunday. "He wouldn't build a house just for the wages He would get, He demanded a good founda- tion before He would begin to build." Mr. Malcolm was speaking on the theme of "Practical Christianity" as he discussed the second part of the Creed, "I believe in Jesus Christ " "True happiness comes from be- ing kind to others" he said, and told a series of stories from the life of Jesus to show that that was the philosophy of Jesus' life. "Years afterward Jesus' brother, James, wrote something about not putting all your religion into talk, and Je- sus' cousin, John's advice was to 'Love not in word only', but do something in kindness", The sermon followed the outline of Jesus' life, from birth to resur- rection. "In the childhood friend- ships at Capernaum we see the be- ginnings of the Kingdom of God Movement. In His ministry, His greatest preaching was His acts of kindness. Among His miracles the. greatest were the miracles of sacri- dice for the redemption of men-- and His greatest sacrifice for re- demption was for Judas, He allow- TAP: . (ed Judas to remain in the seat of honor at the Last Supper, gave him .700 p.m. Legion softball, the token of friendship, prayed for him, waited In the garden for him, accepted the kiss of betrayal with the greeting 'Friend', pushed past Judas and gave Himself up, saying, 'Let these go." He died to save Ju- das. But He rose again, and I be- lieve in Him, the Saviour of the world, the Friend of man." Mrs. Vernon Rowe was leading the choir as they sang, a Capella, "Lord while for all mankind we pray", and acccmpanied Mr, Short Jrio sang "The Lord Is My Shep- erd."
