McCallum Pe > Toronto Controller Tells Rotarians More Interest Should be Taken in Mu- nicipal Affairs -- Out. lines Problem Common To All "1 am concerned about the lack of interest in' municipal ernment," Oontroller H, E, McCallum of Tors onto told Whitby Rotarians on Tuesday, "The municipal governs ment is the cradle of democra- tic system and we do not give it # proper chance to work when only one man in four votes in municipal elections," Controller McCallum, who is the r of Oshawa's mayor, also id emphasis on the fact that more snd more responsibilities are being laid upon the municipal govern= ments, more and more services are being demanded and the burden on the property and business owner is fotting heavier every year, He felt t no relief for this would be forthcoming until the Dominion» Provincial differences over tax fields and responsibilities were settled, The speaker explained that hia example was Toronto, but that the problems there applied in all com. munities, One In Four Voted ~ "Last year," he said, "24 per cent of the voters in Toronto cast bale Jota in an election where the pro- gram of spending was one hundred million dollars, Only one in four vo. ted but the other three are the ones ----) 305 Dundas St, W, Phone 650 WHITBY ELECTRIC EARLE J, BRYANT Domestic, Commercial, Farm and Pole Line Installations WORN OUT "i work=--cranky with the miserable, d blame it on | Your may out of order--for Ee Ais Ee Got and ove Dodds Kidney Pla are" a0 You may depend on us to arrange every detail efficiently and assist you in every way possible, 'When death occurs, come to us and be as sured your every res quest will be fulfilled.

As an example of the difficulties he pointed to the tax on gasoline, which goes to the province for the upkeep of highways, but doesn't help communities to look after thelr roads, He particularized by saying that the T.T.C, pays annually $68, 000 in gasoline taxes for buses which never leave the city, "Municipal governments are fac. ing Increased costs, just as housing and other activities, To meet in- creased costs we have to increase the tax rate. The provincial and federal governments, with their ab- iligy to collect taxes from all the people, must help out the munlel- palities, The school subsidies were & atep in the right direction, but an intel t survey of the whole field shoul be made, to allocate Tespon- sibilities and tax revenue" "I ask everyone to take a greater interest in municipal government and in the men you choose to run it," he concluded, He was thanked for his address by Mayor R, M, De- verell, Just Like Yorkshire An interesting aidelight during jhe inating oame up with the read. ng FM Ch an of Plokering of a letter from Rotary Club in Scarborough, Yorkshire, 'England, The letter pointed out that Whitby, Pickering and Scarborough were all communities near each other in Yorkshire, Controller McCallum at the start of his speech sald that Anthony Bden, when motoring from loton to Toronto, had commented on all the familiar places that he Phen, being from Yorkshire hime self, A special event of the program was singing of Stuart Roblin, accompanied by Jack Archibald, both being sons of Rotarians, Stu= art sang two solos, "Brown October Ale" and "Sea Fever" to the ape plause of all present, GUESTS AT ROTARY CLUB Among the guests at Tuesday's meeting of the Whitby Rotary Club were Rotarians F, M, Chapman of Plokering, I, A.

His example was that mathematically it could easily be proven that enough food is grown in the world to feed every man on it a good living diet, hut that practically this does not work out because of different tastes, hab. its and morals. Continuing he pointed out that if a man wanted to have any part in shaping his children, the only way he could help at all was by taking part in community affairs, "The measure of good citizenship," he said, "is the amount of voluntary time you give to building up your cofmunity." Try Where Elders Falled It was this effort, he added, which combined with the efforts of all the others, could combine with amaze ing results for the good of the come munity, and he concluded by tell ing the Kinsmen, that being young, it was their responsibility to try and succeed where the older genera. tion failed, in making the commu- nity and the world a better place to live in, He was thanked for his advice by Fred Twist, A sing song was led by Bob Wagstaff and Messrs, Curtis arid Martin performed a duet to the accompaniment of Mr, Steen, The work of Ragnar Steen in or- » ganizing and training the new boys' band was praised by the Kinsmen, and it was decided that they would have a special dinner on October 20 with the bandsmen as their guests, WHITBY NIMRODS ALL AFTER DUCKS AS SEASON STARTS Were Out Early and Found Plenty of Targets A beautiful late summer day grossed Whitby sportsmen as they pt from their beds early yesterday morning to greet the opening of the duck season in Ontario, and the marshes to the south resounded to the crack of many shotguns as local nimrods tried their best to fill thelr haversacks with dead ducks. Some of the local men started with the first peep of dawn at about 8 am, but others took it more easily and waited until the sun had warmed things up a little before they headed out, A definite count on kills could not be established, but the report after yesterday's shooting was that there are ducks there if you can hit them.
