"AGE FOUR THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1946 LATEST NEWS OF THE COUNTY TOWN OF WHITBY Whitby Editor, W. J. Duthie, Business Office, Miss G. Macpherson Phone 703, All Departments "Use of Leisure Is Very Important To Our Happiness" "A good use of leisure time is an {SSortant contribu- son to a happy life," Gordon H. McMahon told Whitby Rotarians yesterday at the regular meeting of the Whitby Rotary Club. Whitby's new Director of Recreation was ielebrating his sixth week in they own by outlining for the Rotarians he value of recreation and some of he plans already developed by the Whitby Recreational Association. The speaker was introduced by ?. K. Draimin, and began by asking vhether the advances of the past jécades had brought any greater aappiness to mankind, He said that yur age had been called a pleasure- jeeking age, but that he doubted whether it could be called a pleas~ | gre-finding age. "Discontent and turmoil seem to be on the increase rather than on the decrease." Factors For ro Happy he set forth as/the possession of some moral stan rd to guide one's actions, & satisfactory home life, employment which is to a per- son's liking, and some degree of leisure time used in a way that con- tributes to happiness. "Our first problem, then," he con- tinued, "is to determine what type of recreation within our means will give us-the most satisfaction." He gave as examples golf and music, which, are marvelous recreation for some and not suitable for others. "The one essential characteristic of the ideal recreation is that it should be an activity which pro- vides enjoyment without prejudice to health or morals. Properly organ- ized recreation for young people is an important factor in the develop- ment of physical, mental and moral good health and there is no rule to measure its value in the develop- ment of character." Value In War and Peace « In wartime, he said, the value of recreation as a builder of morale was amply demonstrated and its value in peacetime is no less, prob- ably more. Delinquency is combat- ted efficiently by an organized re- treation program, as is the accident rate among children, "The cost of caring for one de- linquent for a year would almost offset the cost of operating a play- ground for a hundred children," he told his audience. "I know that you are interested in making Whitby a better place in which to live. My job is to try and do this by assisting in the pro- motion of recreational activities, more in assisting than in directing. I have. been given a very cordial welcome here and have found that the town is very progressive." Commends W.M.AA, i! "Some departments of recreation in Whitby are above criticism, for lone the Whitby Minor Athletic 'Association, one of the finest or- ganizations of its kind to be found. "There are several others deserving of a great deal of credit for their work. But many activities depend lon the facilities available and these are rather limited in Whitby just at present." He mentioned the project for a new ball park, now under way, and plso suggested some type of swim- ming pool if possible, so that all :local youngsters could learn how to 'swim. Another necessity is suitable accommodation for hobby shops and craft rooms, {* In conclusion he thanked the Rotary Club for its. welcome, and hoped that progress in the future of recreation in Whitby would be very extensive. He was thanked for 'his speech by G. M. Goodfellow, who sald that his presence in Whit- by augered well for the young peo- tple in the town, * The ert that /make people Speaks to Rotarians GORDON H, McMAHON Whitby's Director of Recreation, who was the guest speaker at yes- | the Town Planning Board, when terday's meeting of the Whitby Ro- | tary Club.

D. Robinson, of Brooklin, appeared before Magls- trate F'. 8. Ebbs in Police Court yes- terday afternoon and pleaded not guilty to the charge, Mrs. Robinson told the court that her husband had left her in July and since that time she had received no money from him. The plaintiff, who is convalescing from an opere ation, collapsed after giving evid- ence and had to be carried from the courtroom. Robinson told the Magistrate that he had gone to Toronto to obtain work, but that his pay had been so small at first that he was unable to provide for his wife. He stated that he was now working steadily and had a home for her in Toronto, Magistrate Ebbs found the accus- ed guilty of the charge and placed him on suspended sentence, He was instructed to leave his wife in Brooklin until 'she is well, and to send her $10.00 per week from his | permit had already been issued for Stray Bullet Kills Cow Worth $1200 A warning against careless target practice has been issued by Provin- cial Constable Maguire following the recent shooting pf 4 valuable purebred cow belon, to Charles Fothergill of R.R. thy. As far as can be determined by investigation, the cow, a purebred Scot¢h Shorthorn, one of the best matrons in Mr, -Fothergill's herd and valued at over $1200, was accl- dentally killed by a stray bullet fired while some unknown marks- man was indulging in a little target practice by the creek above the pas- ture, This is not the first time such a thing happened, according to Mr. Fdtherglll, as another valuable animal was shot under similar cir- cumstances two years ago. He be- lieves that it would hardly be in- tentional, but rather due to a stray shot or a ricochet. A used target was discovered near the scene of the accident. Constable Maguire warns prac- tising 'marksmen to watch where they are aiming so as to avoid just such accidents, or even more serious ones which could easily occur, Five Houses For Green St.? The ten, or eight, houses which the Town Council hopes will be built on Green Street as soon as possible, came in for considerable discussion at last night's meeting of | the board heard the' objections of ject. 1 On Monday night, the Town Council, after hearing from Mr, King, recommended that six rather than eight houses be built to front on the Green Street property, Mr. King suggested to the planners last night that six houses would be too many and that five would be more than enough. The board came to mo decision on the matter, feeling that the Integ- rated Housing authorities would draw up a plan for the project which could then be considered. The question or whether a 40 foot |or 60 foot frontage was too small | out that the present building by- was discussed and it was pointed law calls for a minimum lot with a 33 foot frontage, Want Extra Fire Exit In reviewing the applications for building permits, the board recom- mended that an additional fire exit be provided in J. R. Kahn's plans for the W. J. Anderson Company Limited plant on Euclid Street, A a one story, 40 by 90 foot plant but plans now call for a two storey building and the planners felt that more than one exit should be pro- vided for such a factory. The plans were approved in all other respects. Too Many People earnings, GUIDE NEWS BROWNIES The Recruits or Tweenies are awaiting Enrolment which will be held two weeks from last Tuesday.

When asked by the magistrate for an example of the threats Mrs. O'Toole sald that her husband had threatened to "fix her" when she brought the police, : O'Toole, with surgical clips hold- ing together a gash on his temple, told the court that the trouble was too many people in the house. "We have had as many as sixteen" he said, "and now there are eight." He explained that the house was a four roomed cottage in the wartime village. . Magistrate Ebbs felt that the whole thing'was a family dispute and let O'Toole off with a warning. Saskatoon Wedding Of Interest Here Of interest to Whitby friends and relatives is 'the recent wedding in Saskatoon of Harriet Grace Jury, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. Jury, of Coleville, Saskatchewan, and formerly of Whitby, to Arthur H. F. Carrington, son of Major and Mrs, AFH. Carrington, at West minster United Church, Saskatoon. The bride, given in marriage by her brother, Willlam Jury, wore a white satin gown with tight bodice, sweetheart neckline and self cov- ered buttons down the back. A halo of orange blossoms topped her trail- ing veil and she wore a three strand necklace of pearls, the gift of the groom. She carried a bouquet of deep red roses and 'mums with a sprig of heather, Miss Elva Seale was her bridesmaid in 'pale blue net, and little Lynne Keyser and Cathie Runions were flower girls. The groom was attended by Frank Ward, and John Dykes and Jack Keyser were ushers. The reception was held at the home of the groom's parents, and guests were received by the bride's mother, who 'chose a moss green wool crepe dress with a corsage of ivory roses, and by the groom's mother wearing beige rose with black accessories and a corsage of roses.

One of the bucking horses almost succeeded in climbing the barrier, the Roman rider almost ended up in a chute and Gordon Hawes, tried, o but did not succeed, in riding the mule, The white horse called No-man, a particularly vicious brute, tore out of the chute and in a wild, bucking rush tore to the end of the enclos- ure, an additional jump and he was half over the rails, The crowd scat- tered wildly and managed to get out of 'his way. The Roman rider, Tony Yonkers, had some bad luck with his jumps. First one horse would kick down the top rail of the jump, and then the other would make a bobble, In the last attempt the barrier was cleared without a fault, but before Yonkers could bring his team to a halt, they hit the chutes at the end of the rink and he ended up clinging to the top rail. Paged and called into the ring to assist Homer Harris, Gordon Hawes made a very poor attempt at riding the fractious mule, We had no dif- ficulty in recognizing the mule, be- cause it had the longest ears. In the short argument as to who would ride whom, the mule emerged the winner. The crowd attending the second night of the_Rodeo, was much larg= er than the first might. Many people returned for their second helping and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The matinee for saa children on Wednesday is expected to top all attendance records, and many peo- ple are planning to make a big do of the last night. Mabel Greenhill Wed To Edgar Pechkover All Baint's Anglican Church, Whitby, was the scene of a pretty wedding on Saturday afternoon, November 16th, at 3 p.m, when Mabel Hope Greenhill, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Greenhill, of Whitby, became the bride of John Wesley Peckover, son of Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Peckover, of New Lis- keard, Ontario, Rev, Gordon Chan- nen officiated.

Christian and Mr, Harold Crook, of Toronto, The bride given in marriage by her brother, Mr. Murray Greenhill wore a gown of heavy lvory satin designed and made by herself, halo of orange blossoms and full length veil and carried a shower bouquet of red roses and pink baby mums. The bridal attendants were Mrs. Dean Grills, of Courtice, as matron of honor, wearing a gown of nile green crepe, with headdress of nile flowers and short veil, Miss Ruth Greenhill, the bride's sister, as bridesmaid wore a gown of peach taffetta, with wreath of peach col- ored roses and vell dotted with gold sequins, Eight year old Marion Crook, of Toronto was flower girl and wore a gown of baby blue or- gandie and a wreath of blue flowers and veil.

County Work Comes First Says Reeve "I still think the county work should be done first," Reeve Thom- as H. Harding of Reach Township told the County Council yesterday, "and 'I think that the larger muni- cipalities should buy their own maintainers and not use the coun- ty's all the time so that county work is lift undone." County Road Superintendent D. J. Kean had appeared before the Council to answer questions about the work on the county roads dur- ing the year. He was asked by Mr. Harding if he thought that three maintainers would be sufficient to look after the county roads. "If we concentrated on the coun- ty roads alone we could use less equipment," Mr. Kean told the Council, "but your municipalities helped to pay for these machines and I feel that they are entitled to get some assistance on their roads from this equipment." . He pointed out that work done on other than county roads was paid for by the municipalites who received the work, and also that the roads account had included the Grigg Bridge in Rama Township and the Zephyr Creek bridge in Scott, although the latter had not boon included in the original bud- get. Mr. Kean told the Council, which had asked for an accounting of the amount spent on roads in each minor municipality, that the pres- ent system of bookkeeping would make such a report very difficult to draw up.

According to W. H, Westney, De-® puty Reeve of Pickering Township, the greatest source of new weeds in the county is the western grains imported here, and also inefficient chopping mills which fail to pro- perly destroy weed seeds and -allow Rev. Candy Speaks At Ajax Service The importance of living the Christian Faith was stressed by the Rev. D. C. Candy ' at the eleven o'clock Service of the University of Toronto Chapel, Ajax, on Sunday morning. "Communism," stated the speaker, "was no substitute for ristianity, for Christians empha- sized man's duty to his fellow just as much as it did. It was a matter of Christians going farther than Communists in this regard. More- over, Christianity emphasizes the dignity of the individual rhore than Communism does, and it has a more lasting and dynamic source." In the evening, the Chaplain, Padre Swan, spoke on Darwinism and Christianity. "The conflict be- gan among the scientists of Dar- win's time," he pointed out. "Re- ligion entered the field as a clash of personalities, notably T, H. Huxley and Bishop Wilberforce. That Churchmen accepted Dar- winism in the main much more widely than was expected was ad- mitted by Huxley himself. The chief threat, which was to the theological proof of the existence of God, did not prove fatal," ex- plained the Padre. The Services were well attended. A Weekly Discussion Group was formed after the Vesper Service. Utica MRS.

Farm Labor, Shortage As to the cutting of weeds along highways, on farms and in vacant lots, the inspector pointed to the shortage of farm labor as one of the problems faced, but said that all 'possible work had been done. He outlined a few of the experi mental plots used during the year, some sprayed with 2-4-D and others with Atlacide, but explained that many of these tests had been un= dertaken rather late in the season and that results would not be cone clusive until next year. The weed which he emphasized most in his report was buckhorn, a rust carrier, which grows along fen- ces and roads. He asked that spe= cial attention be given to eradicate ing this noxious weed whenever dis- covered, both by cutting down and by spraying, and said that it had to be very carefully watched. Praises Junior Farmers Mr. Beare praised the work of various Junior Farmer clubs in the county who had launched €lean Farm competitions, and had set up experimental areas for observation. * He described the weed control work of neighboring counties, and sald that with more equipment and more help just as efficient a job could be done in.Ontario County, Mr. Beare also praised the work of municipal weed inspectors, and said that he hoped to report a great im- provement in the work next year.
