The north end of the Taylor arena has been made intQ a palais de dance, complete with hardwood floor, refreshment booth and canned music, Ernie Taylor and Lindsay McCoy aré the two ex-service men who have spent considerable energy and hard earned cash on this project. They felt that Whitby youth would patronize home industry, and have gambled a considerable sum of money to make the Arena, hitherto dormant during the summer months. a meeting place for the junior members of the community. The place has certainly been made attractive, and with the promised Supervision will be a good place to ance. Super Ball Game Promised Tonight Whitby Rotary will endeavour to stretch their undefeated streak to four games tonight when they play hosts to Cobourg Kiwanis for the first time this season in the local ball yard. A win for the home club would strengthen their hold on the third place in the Lakeshore Junior League and also put them in a strong contending spot for a shot at a higher mark. In the two games played by these teams to date, both sides have been victorious once, with Whitby getting a close 2-1 win last Saturday. With Wednesday night's game with B'nai B'rith having been washed out, the Rotary nine will have the advantage of a week's lay- off, and if Quantrill can continue his mound mastery over the visitors, then Whitby should add another win to their record. However Co- bourg have a fine pitcher in Kel- lough who limited the Whitby team to four hits last week, and had it not been for a bad throw and an error which he made himself, he might have easily gained credit for a shutout, YOUNG LADIES SOFTBALL NOTES The Young Ladies Softball Team of Pickering is expected to play Whitby Ladles Team at the High School grounds one game in Whit- by, with one game at Pickering during the next week, ccmmencing on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Lake Shore line boasted two trains each way per day. The Bloor Street viaduct had not yet been built but the Kingston Road had just been taken over by the provincial government, and "a magnificent highway from Te- ronto to Whitby and the east will then be available." This edition calls Whitby "the best residential town near To- ronto," and the population was then 2,500. The author claimed that "the climate of Whitby is much superior to that of 'Toronto, being both cooler and dryer." His explana- tion for this was that "the east wind at Toronto has blown 150 miles down the Lake and is conse- quently damp and cold; but at Whitby it has blown along the land, and while fresh is without | that raw ar® disagreeable quality | so well known at Toronto and on | the Lake Shore towards Oakville," | Similar explanations for the better | quality of the west wind are given. | Car Ferry Coming | The car ferry from Whitby to Olcott, New York, was then pro- jected, and the Toronto and East- ern Electric line to Whitby was un- der construction. The Carnegie Lib- rary, now the Whitby Public Lib- | rary, had recently been built at a cost of $10,000, and a photograph | shows, it as at present, except for the gravel road in front and the lawns on the opposite side of the street. The Horse Show had become an annual event and the picture re- veals a large crowd in attendance at the Town Park in 1913.

Rexall's came up with a two run rally in the top half of the seventh to tie the score at 3-3, but the'home club pushed acros- the winning tally in their final time at bat, as Fletcher led off with a single, stole second, went to third on an infield out, and beat the throw to the plate, when Lovell hit a fielder's choice ball. The visiting druggists were sport- ing a perfect record of five wins up till last night, and by winning last night the Whitby boys accomplish ed something that the other Oshe awa teams have been unable to do all year, with Beaton's Dairy close 7-6 loss being the closest they had come to being bested. Mowat Tripled Whitby continued their practice of making the first their big inning, as they got off to a good start with a pair of runs to give them a 2-0 lead. Mowat's triple was the big blow of the inning, as it started things off for the home club, and MacDonald contributed a single on his own behalf and scored the second run, Rexall's got one run back in the first of the second, when Hoy hit (Continued on Page 11) of closing.

One Hour To Pickering To show the advances made in motoring, he says that "Claremont, Port Perry and Pickering are all within easy driving distance 'and any one of these points can be. reached within an hour by auto." Also, as the auto was then a fairly recent invention, and not very de- pendable, he adds that, "four Grand Trunk trains make daily connections each way with To- ronto". This doesn't happen now, Mr, Jackson concludes his short article extolling the benefits of Whitby by saying, "In brief, Whit- by offers all the conveniences of city life coupled with the open air and' freedom of the country, and it is within an hour's ride by rail of the Provincial metropolis, and only three hours from Niagara Falls." The remainder of the booklet is taken up with a short history of the "Keystone County" and photo- graphs of its residences, churches and schools First Met In 1801 Among the historical data is the information that the first "Town meeting for choosing the Town offi- sors and other Regulators for the Town of Whitby and Pickering" was held in 1801.
