Macpherson THE TIMES-GAZETTE, TUESDAY, AUGUST 20, 1946 Phone 708, All Departments "Valuable Work Done At Conference" -Mayor Ontario Reeves and Mayors | Heard Addresses Many Subjects-- Whitby Mayor Reports the Trip Enjoyable & Educatiohal Arriving back from Fort William early yesterday , after at- tending the annual convention of about' the convention 'Asked if he had enjoyed it, he said, "You bet! And it was very educational. Some of what we were told doesn't apply here but a lot of 'it does, and the discussion was very valuable." To and from the convention the municipal executives travelled aboard the Lakes steamer, Keewa- tin, many with their wives and families, and all enjoyed this trip 'up through the locks at Sault Ste. 'Marie and on to the head of the "lakes. According to Ma Dever- ell the only rough weather occurred om Sunday afternoon, and some of the passengers were slightly un- comfortable for a while. ' * the meeting he said that the mem- 4 bers had heard - talks by Premier + George Drew, Hon, George Dunbar, "Minister of 'Municipal Aftairs, and Hon, Charles Daley, Minister of , Labor, and had during the business sessions heard addresses by several + of the mayors and reeves present. "The subject matter of these talks ranged from town planning to whe- ther the offices of assessor and tax i" collector should be combined under {one man or should be separate. , Mr. ' report on ithe convention: to the Council at heir next meeting, sald that of 1 special ' interest to him had been "the talk on town yk and ges velopment by Mayor Maurice J King of Stratford, and that by Reeve Fred G. Gardiner, of Forest i= Hill village, on "The Future of Lo- pA cal Government". > Stratford's Town Planning a With the local interest aroused + by the activities of the Town Plan- ning Board, a short resume of the work done in Stratford is informa- "tive of how other communities are working at it. Mr. King explained * that Stratford, a city of some 18,000, _ had started in 1944 to plan by ap- + pointing 4 group of representative citizens to a board. From this had of post-war incomes and lving costs . "in the municipality. ' The second committee delved in- to the questions of employment and industry, studying seasonal employ~ ment and war production. The third looked ho community objectives, Public Information Committee The finance and legislation com- mittee were concerned with the 'G. McAllister, of London, comparative municipal financing. The final committee was the public information committee whose duty it was to keep the citizens general- ly informed of the plans and ob- jectives of the Planning and De- | velopment Council, this being con- sidered very important. Based on the work of these com- mittees a plan and scale model was drawn up and was exhibited pub- licly for some time, The city is now going on to appoint a Planning Board under the Provincial Plan- ning Act and they will have the use and information.of all the work Sotie previously by these commit- iy this it would appear ob- vious that planning a town cannot be done in a week or a month but g and thought-provoking business, The other point that Mr, King brought out was that the citi- zens must know what is being planned and must as far as possible enter into the discussions. Educational Grants Another topic at the meeting was the increased grants by the Depart- ment of Education to the school boards in the municipalities and Mayor J. H. Matthews, of Brant- ford, felt that these grants should be paid to the town rather than to the school board. His reasons for this were that the grants, as admin- istered by the boards, were not re- ducing the tax on real estate as ex- pected, but that rather the costs of education were being increased by the amount of the grant." The report on coal by Mayor F. showed that his winter's supply will be only 8 per cent of needs and that there- fore some system of rabioning should be M0, howe immediately to ensure a proper sharing of the available 'coal, Mayor Deverell, who also man- aed 3 to attend the regular meeting the Fort Whllam Rotary Club, oe that the Mayors' Associa- tion had more than doubled in size in the past three years and thai the work being done was exceeding- ly valuable, Break ta School During Weekend Brock Street Public School was broken into over the week-end and the local police believe that it was done by children, as nothing was taken and little damage was done. It is believed that the school was entered either Friday or Saturday night, Li break-in was discovered by Mrs, Northam on Sunday when the water tap in the "room running. Investigation Sgt. Ron love and Constable John Thomas of the Whitby police | pr force revealed that entry had been gained through a window after the wire screening had been removed. Degk drawers were opened and the tap wag left running but as far as can be determined nothing is miss- ing.

Kinsmen Taggers Collected $136.00 Despite yVeather Despite the heavy rain the Kins- men taggers were out in force on Saturday, and they must have been as dogged as the rain, because the financial report on the Tag Day reveals that $136.47 was realized at the close of operations, Harry Cur- tls, who was chairman of the com- mittee, is well satisfied with the re- sults. The money raised will be used to purchase equipment for the Mem- orial Park, the Kinsmen's contribu- tion towards providing a suitable playground for Whitby children. The next event in their ambitious program for developing the park will be'the gigantic auction sale and bingo game on Saturday, Septem- ber 7, which will also mark the of- ficial opening of the park, They are already canvassing the town for articles which can be sold at the auction and will, at the drop of a hat, or the jingle of a- telephone bell, pick up anything that Whitby- ites are willing to contribute. Mr, Curtis would like to thank the following ladies for their efforts on Saturday: Mrs, Ken Lee, Mrs. Ragnar Steen, Mrs. Harry Curtis, Mrs. Robert Adams, Mrs. Stan Mar- tin, Misses Marian Archibald, Mol- lie Berlett, Lynn Steen, Joan Cald- well, Chrisie Cowie, Marion Rowe, Babe Roberts, Darlene Hodgson, Janet Spratt and Carol Curtis, Also the Kinsmen would like to thank J. M. Roblin and Ron Curtis for their help. } Four Ball Teams Possible Entries For Town League Although the Wolves and the Le- 'glonnaires, Whitby's two softball teams have already been eliminated from the playoff picture in their respective leagues, neither team seems anxious to hang up their spikes for the rest of the season, and at present arrangements are being made to have a playoff for the town championship. A third and possibly a fourth team may be drawn into the group as both the Rotary Baseball Juniors, who are still engaged in a fight for the third place and the final playoff berth in their loop, and the "Old Boys", other members of the pre-war Town League, who are not playing for the Legion, are anxious to join in the fun. 'The Bowman and Rowe cup, which was long symbolic of the soft- ball ¢hampionship of the County Town, is now in the hands of the Young Ladies' softball to whom it was given earlier in the year for competition, but the don- ors have intimated that if it is not going to be the centre of any com- petition, they would like it to be again replaced in its original role. 'If the cup is. returned, then local softball fans should be able to wite ness another couple of weeks of ac- tion, as the four teams battle it out to decide a champ. Further announcements regard- ing final arrangements for the playoffs will be anounced as soon as possible, and the playoffs will commence next week with the Wolves and the Legion as definite eritries. GAME POSTPONED The scheduled exhibition game between Whitby Wolves and Osha- wa Mayfait Lanes that was to have been played in the Town Park to- night, has been postponed until a later date because the Oshawa: team was unable to come. No new date for the game has been an- nounced but the game will be play- ed as soon.as arrangements can be completed and a date satisfactory to both teams can be agreed upon.

Much of this was met by revenue from the institutions, The deficit was covered by funds raised by public subscription. This year's total operating outlay will be substantially higher because of the increases in costs of commo- ditles, services, medical supplies and staffs, according to Miss Aldridge. . Quality and Service Better In addition, women's social serv- ice costs have been increased in re- cent years because of the general improvement in the standard of living in Canada. Those seeking help through Salvation Army facili- ties have been accustomed to more varied food and better service and surroundings than were applicants even so short a time ago as just before and early in the war, Miss Aldridge sald. "It is not the idea of soclal serv- ice work to lower reasonable stan- dards of living," she sald, "though it continues to be our aim to do the best possible work at the least cost." Out of money subscribed by the general public in this fall's Home Front Appeal, the Salvation Army hopes to meet operating losses and expand some of its institutions to cope with the greatly increased de- mands, The campaign, for $2,000,- 000, is to be inaugurated Sunday, September 15. Pickering Girls Top Locals 13-1 Whitby Young Ladies' softball team lost the rubber game in a three-game exhibition series with Pickering last night, as they bowed 13-1 to the visitors. The win for Pickering was their second in a row from the local girls, after the Whitby girls had won the first game, The visitors completely dom- inated the game and led all the way. The next game for the local girls will be on Friday night when they play hosts to the Orono Ladies, The | 33 local girls will be out to snap their FO! current losing streak which already has grown to four games, so it should be a good show.

Whitby Man Wins Fourteen Prizes With His Flowers Whitby's lone" contestant in the annual show of the Oshawa Horti- cultural Society held Saturday, re- ceived high praise and many aw- ards for his display. Fred Ing, Eu- clid Street, carried off eight firsts, four seconds and one third prize for his blooms, In addition he had the distinction of winning a special prize for the most outstanding bloom of the show. Mr. Ing won nis much desired prize, a feature of the Oshawa show, with a golden yellow dahlia, "Che- mer's Masterpiece", part of his en- try of three dahlias which had previously won for him one of his many first prizes. In the well-contested gladioll classes, Mr. Ing won three firsts and three seconds, with his zinnias he had two firsts and one second, his two petunia entries both re- ceived firsts and his third prize was for a display of asters. The - Oshawa show was a well- attended affair with visitors from all parts of the country on hand to enjoy the breath-taking loveliness of blossoms brought to perfection by amateur growers. Mrs. Ing, who is chief assistant in this firm of floriculturists, express- ed the opinion that "It is a shame that Whitby does not have a society of its own," and although it was not so stated, we are of the opinion | ~o that if a few of the excellent ama- teur growers in Whitby were to contact the family an energetic group could be formed in a very short time, Births Mr. and Mrs. Charles Raes, To- ronto, (neo Jean Davidson), py to ennounce the birt son, Geo e Albert, on August 1lth, 1046, ayfair Private Hospital, To- ront ig Whitby Classified FOR SALE--4" CEMENT WEEPIN Tile for sale.
