Bidding Lax At Tax Sale The first tax sale since 1039 was held yesterday in Whitby but, mainly because there were no houses included in the sale, only on one property was there what ould be described as spirited bidd- ng. ' : The property in demand was four lots on Green Street just -south of the tennis courts, and the taxes due on these lots amounted to $80. 'Only. two bidders were interested but they between themselves bid 'the jand up to .$190 for the four lots, or $47.50 apiece before Carl Mantz, of Whitby, became the suc- cessful owner. 'Thé sale was opened by Town Clerk John R, Frost who announced that the lots for sale would go to the highest bidders, or if there was | no competition, would sell for the amount of the taxes. He explained | that a clear title on the land could not be given for a yéar, because the former owner had a year within which to pay the purchase price plus ten pér cent, thus redeeming his 14nd. Five Lots For $80 Peter Strynatka bought five lots on Palmerston Avenue, north of the CPR. tracks, for taxes, am- ounting to a tbtal of $80.04, while Teofil Vaselesky bought two lots on Ash Street for the taxes of $63.42. Mrs, D, Ferris bought lots 181 and 196 on Perry's plan for the taxes of $56.04. Several other lots were not bid on, and the sale was adjourned un- til a later date, at which time other bidders may appear or the town will bid the properties in for taxes, _ Bargain hunters missed a good chance yesterday.

'Adopts' Schools ~ In Outlying Districts, Supplies Libraries To Them With nine Departments of Education in Canada, it is very difficult indeed to develop a Canadian pattern of edu- cation, says Mrs, J. D. Detwiler, M.B.E., National Educa- tional Secretary of the Imperial Order Daughters of the Em- pire. The Order, realizing this, hase undertaken an educational program which should strengthen the ties of Canadian unity and, at the same time, cement the bonds of Empire. Mrs, Detwiler tells us that the lack of suitable books, particularly in schools in the outlying districts, has opened to the Order an impor- tant avenue for service. Over the past twenty years, hundreds of schools across Canada have been "adopted" by individual T.ODE. chapters and have been provided with much-needed libraries. Last year alone, 981 libraries were put inte Canadian schools. Serious Responsibility The selection of 'the books, she says, is a serious educational respon. sibility and this has been assumed by the National Educational Com- mittee, Good biography is consider. ed an essential, In the great crea- tive peri of human history, the youth were inspired by the achieve- ments of the nations' heroes, His- tory too, is stressed. In history we find a record of achievements and experiences and this helps foster in the young not only a national con- sciousness and a full realization of the constitutional and spiritual heritage which is their lot, but also a sense of responsibility in world affairs. Realizing too, Mrs. Detwiler says, that education of le and the peop education for leadership are essen tial to the development of a demo- cracy, many I.O.D.E. chapters are concentrating on financial 'assist- ance to students. From April, 1045, to April, 1046, the sum of $29,309.00 wag raised. This money provided scholarships and bursaries for 571 students in attendance at univer. sities, normal schools, agricultural colleges, schools for nurses, collegi- ates and business colleges. In addi. tion, nine post-graduate scholships of $1,500.00 each (one for each province in Canada) are awarded each year to permit outstanding students to continue their studies at a British university. Altogether a total of $85,511.00 was expended on education last year by the Imperia] Order Daugh- ters of the Empire, Mrs. Detwiler states the actual amount is unim- portant except as it serves to show how much importance the I.O.D.E. attaches to education as a prepara- tion for national and world citizen. ship. Work of Whitby Branch In the past year the I.ODE. in Whitby has placed 100 calendars in Whitby, Oshawa and Ajax schools; a 'northern school in Bergland, Rainy River district, has been "adopted" and a library sent; prizes for social studies have been pre- sented at the High, Public and Sep. arate Schools and at O.L.C. A War Memorial Scholarship hot established in the High School a an Honor Roll is being prepared. Funds have been sent to the Cor- onation Bursary and to the Lucy Morrison Memorial Bducational Funds at provincial headquarters.

Whitby, Tel. 707 Letter Shows Reasons For Poppy Fund .| Dear Citizens: This year, as in other years, the Canadian Legion, through its 2,000 Branches and Auxiliaries in Cana- da, is calling to the people of the Dominion that they should observe more than ever in solemn remem- brance the symbolism which has become an integral part of Re- membrance Day observances, and 'asks that every man, woman and child wear a Poppy on Saturday, November 9th, in memory of those who laid down their lives in the Great War and of those men and women who have made the supreme sacrifice in the recent conflict. This appeal is not made on be- half of the Legion or of its meme bers, but on behalf of all ex-service men who are in need. The collec. tion and administration of the y Fund has een entrusted to |- Popp; the Canadian Legion, This, how- ever, does not mean that the Pop- py Pund is part of the funds of the Legion. It is kept entirely separate and is not even treated as a part of the relief fund. It is rather con- gidered as a Trust Fund, which the Legion administers for the benefit of 'all ex-Service men. In granting relief, members of the Legion re- ceive no special preference but all ex-Service men stand on equal footing. Any man who has served and who 'is In need, has a claim on this fund. The Popples and Wreaths which you will be asked to buy are made by an Organization of Disabled ex-Service men. These men are absolutely incapable of earning a living in any other way, and 'but for this industry, would be a charge on the public funds. If Poppy Day did nothing but keep these men self-supporting and self- respecting citizens, it would still be worthwhile, The organization of Poppy Day, the sales of wreaths and poppies, the handling of monies colleced, the investigation and relief of all applicants, are done by voluntary workers. No man or woman con- nected in any way with this re- celves one cent as wages, salary, bonus, commission or allowance for expenses. All monies collected are placed in a special account which is controlled by a Board of Trustees of this Branch. Every expenditure made is approved and every ac- count checked by the Board, Every applicant for relief is investigated carefully but sympathetically. Re- lief may take the form of food, clothing, fuel, rent or medical as- sistance, It is practically never is- sued in cash. One million, seven hundred and fifty thousand citizens of Ontario wore a Poppy in Remembrance last November. 5000 Wreaths were placed in Churches and at Me- morials in honour of the dead. Every man, woman and child in Ontario is expected to wear a Pop- py on Remembrance Day. Should any of our friends desire further information on any point in connection with Poppy Fund activ- ities, our Branch Secretary will be glad to supply it. The Canadian Legion is grateful for the hearty support they have always received from the general public to make the lot of the distressed ex-Service man easier, and it is our hope that there will be no partial or perma- nent black-out for them. Give Generously for Your Poppy! FRED JAMES, President, Branch 113, Canadian Legion BESL. Legion Sponsors Intermediate "B"' Hockey Team A Whitby Intermediate "B" hoc- key team, sponsored by Branch 112 of the Canadian Legion, was ap- proved at last night's meeting in 'the Legion Hall and a survey made indicates that the players avail- able and willing in Whitby should join together in a strong team. "We can't promise you a cham- pionship team at this stage but they will be no disgrace to the Le- gion, Rather they will be a credit to it," the members were told. It was decided that rather than confine the team to Legion mem- bers, the best players in the town would be asked to play, and as the town has had strong teams in the past, the Sports Committee hope that it will have a strong team again this year. A meeting has been called for next Tuesday night at the Legion Hall for all those interested in In- termediate hockey.

Mr. McMahon é > IS MONDAY A HOLIDAY? YES AND NO BR. "Will Monday be a holiday?" was a question raised at last night's Legion meeting. Presi- dent Fred James tried to give the answer, but he wasn't sure, Nor, it would seem, is any- body else. Civie, provincial and federal employees will have a holiday, but although many the Jocal merchants intend 'to close on Monday, others expéct to remain open for business, closing during the service at the Cenotaph, Planting Slides Shown At Ashburn By MRS, WES ROUTLEY Correspondent Ashburn, Nov. 7--Sunday School and Church services were conducted as usual at Burn's Church on Sun, Nov. 3, at 10 and 11 a.m. Rev, Mr. Riddell of Milton had charge of the morning service and chose for his xt Acts 16 verse 3.0 "and brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" On Friday evening Nov. 1st, a set of slides were shown in the base- ment of the church on the "Plan. ning and Planting the Farm Home Grounds." 'These pictures which were very beautifully col- ored clearly showed how even a small amount of planting can im- prove the appearance of the home surroundings. The meeting opened with some community singing after which Miss Catherine Fisher sang "Over the Rainbow." Following the pictures Miss Fern Stephen played an instrumental "Adoration", and the singing of the "National An- them" brought the meeting to a close, It was decided to use the offering which amounted to $4.25 to buy hymn slides for use in the Sunday School. Special anniversary services will be observed in Burn's Church on Sunday, November 17 at 11 a.m. and 7.30 p.m. with Rev. Marshall of Whitby as the guest speaker. The -sympathy of the community is extended to the family of the late Mrs. Wm. Walker who passed | inspec away suddenly at her home on Fri- day, Nov, 1 in her 86th year.

After the members had arrived in their various garbs, the costumes were judged, Misses Ruth Richardson and Frances Lynde winning the girls' prizes and Messrs Knight and Clifford Hubbert winning the boys' prizes. Several Hallowe'en games and con- bobbing for apples, pinning the hat on the witch and fortune telling were then enjoyed and the party was brought to a close by Hugh advised the Board by letter that he had obtained the services of several persons who would act in the capa~ city of story-tellers and asked per- mission to use the large room i the basement of the library building for the purpose. Members of the board gave unanimous approval of the step, and voted to make the room available when needed. A suggestion by Mrs. H, Bracey, librarian, that a change be de in the lighting ofthe library so that books on the lower shelves would be illuminated was also approved by the Board and an investigation into costs will be made by the Property Committee. The librarian reported that; dur- ing the past month 25 persons have received memberships; that 53 new books had been purchased; that 5000 paper covers for outgoing books had, been received gratis from an advertising firm, 1750 Books Issued Tabulation of books issued during the month revealed that Whitby readers have a more than average leaning towards the cultural branch of this form of recreation. Of the 1750 books released to adults, more than one third were non-fiction, The children were almost as careful of their choice and out of 687 books released to juvenile readers, 195 were non-fiction, Sociolagy and religion were the least read category, seven each of these classes being withdrawn for home study. Natural science and Philosophy were a close second to these with 8 and 10 respectively. Biography was the adult choice in the non-fiction groups, but the children found history more to their tastes and almost ignored the adults' favorite, Literature, strange- ly enough, appeared to have little appeal to the juvenile mind and only two books dealing with this subject were taken out by the junior Guide News 2ND WHITBY COMPANY On Tuesday evening the 2nd | Whitby Company held its first meeting. The horseshoe Flagbreak | was held and the Guide prayer re- peated. Then followed roll call and tion, most of the girls being in full uniform. Fees were collected together with the Patrol money.
