On arriving home, following a hard day in crowded stores one wonders if it would not have been the wiser thing to shop in our own small towns and avoid the crowds. But then again, Christmas waquld not be Christmas to some, without a trip to the city, and of course the little ones have to see Santa Claus in all his glory.

BLAKE ANNIS REEVE PICKERING TOWNSHIP, 1947 «0 the Ratepayers, The Township of Pickering: It is the opinion of a great many people throughout the township that the expense of an election is quite unnecessary this year. However we are faced with an election, and I I will not be able to call on all am a candidate for Reeve for 1947. of you personally so would like to discuss certain township work through this open letter. The man you elect Reeve will also represent you in County Council. As Pickering Township pays over 18% of all County expenses, it is im- portant that he should have certain knowledge of the workings of that body so as to protect the interests of this Municipality. It has often been said that experience is the best teacher. I was willing to start at the bottom, and served four years in Township Council before becoming experience from inside, While {mene of County Council, and in this way gained I have been a member of County Council, I have been placed on several important committees, namely, Property, Assessment, Agriculture, Chairman of Finance for two years, and was elected to the County Road Committee for a term of three years. This experience will better enable me to look after the interests of this township both in county and township matters. In 1938 when I becanie a Councillor the Auditors' Statement showed current assets over liabilities of $42,000.00 and in 1945 the Report showed $72,000,00, an increase of $30,000.00, and it is expected that the 1946 Audit will show a further $5,000.00. This fund was created for, and will be spent on, post-war development, mostly for the Road and Bridge account.

Police Department; today we have more changing conditions and this department is highly In 1938 the work done by the Board of Health was limited, today our children, from the prenatal to continuation school period, are receiving care comparable to that given in large centres. Pickering was one of the first townships in the Province to obtain the services of a Public Health Nurse. I might add that the coming year will see further measures taken for the protection of the health of the future generations. In 1938 what is now Ajax was a prosperous farming , and in spite of statements to the fence Industries has come and gone community. De- effect that Ajax would ruin this Municipality, we are not ruined and Council are justified in the manner in which this problem was handled. I am prepared to make certain concessions to induce industry to locate within the township, and consideration is being given to zoning of careful planning, co-operation, purposes. all my doing, but it is the result of paying our way as we go, always which having in mind that Pickering Township must be a good place in to live.

"What time should I call for you Saturday, Tom's party, remember?" "I've got a date," Marylin re- turned crisply, and her hand was waiting to shift gears impatiently. "Besides, Tom's party will be full of children." "On, yeah?" Harold flared angrily, "I suppose you're oing out with that . . . horse breeder?' His voice dripped with sarcasm. "Hareld Fitz!" Marylin cried, her cheeks flaming. "If you're fe- ferring to Jonathan Benton, 's the best riding master in the country!" "He's a dope and old enough to be your father," Harold pointed out seriously, Then in a softer tone he continued: "You know how I feel about you Marilyn and . . . I thought you were keen about me, too, until this character butted in." Then seeing the determined look on her face, Harold added, "I sup- pose you're going out to the stables now to torture some poor horse." Marilyn flared, "You are such a child. back to your bicycle." She started the car. Harold, a hurt look in his eyes, yelled after her, "Dad drove the car out of town -- and I like my e. A Marilyn, waving nonchal- antly to Harold without looking back, wondered how she could have been so very much in love with him, at one time. Why, he was a child compared with Jonathan Benton. Jonathdn was mature, and serious and loved the country. He quoted poetry to her as she rode Hrough the woods beside him. Harold Fitz never noticed the pat- tern in leaves or remarked about the beauty of trees or flowers. The only thing Harold knew about growing things was that they had roots and that poetry was some- thing ' Shakespeare had worked overtime on. It wasn't every girl that had the honor of being invited to the coun- try dance Saturday with the ride ing master of Gaylor Stables. Jon- athan was tall, had dark eyes, a self-assurance and poise that made him so fascinating. The way he helped her into the saddle and then caught her in his arms after every canter they had together. It was so thrilling! Why, she hadn't really known how very naive Harol Jonathan. The only thing that bothered Marylin about the whole exciting set-up was that she'd never really been alone with Jonathan, away from the horses. She must mane age this, perhaps this afternoon. It was a lovely. afternoon. She hoped Jonathan didn't have - too many pupils so he could give her more time. Maybe she could get him to take a drive -vith her after her lesson today. She'd try any- way. * »% .» The sun was faintly visible in the sky slid into the seat beside Marylin. : "Isi't it a glorious afternoon?" | she sighed. "I don't know," Jonathan re- plied uncertainly, "I sort of feel a storm in the air." He glanced out of the window skaptically, Maryiin started the car. It was good five miles to town and she drove slow ... purposely. She wanted as much time alone with him as possible. If only he'd say the things she craved to hear, now that they were alone. Suddenly, the skies overhead were filled with clouds and like it often does, on a summer day, the storm broke in a few seconds. Jt simply poured. "Close the window!" Jonathan cried excitedly, panic in his voice, and stop the car. I don't like to drive when it's lightning." He looked terrified. Marylin like rain. She looked at Jonathan crouched .in the cor- ner of the car. He jérked each time the thunder pealed or the lightning flashed. Suddenly the downpour subsided a bit and the windshield wiper stopped working. Marylin couldn't see through the window, "Would you please wipe off the outside of the window?" she asked Jonathan, He got out reluctantly. As he was Wibine off the glass a sudden gust of wind encircled him and swept something Fight off his head. Marylin screamed. Even as he was chasing it and trying to retrieve it from one of the roadside bushes, Marylin didn't realize it was--his wis e adjusted the wig back to his head and crawled back into the car, looking like a wet cat. How she drove back into town she scarcely knew, but she drove like mad. She dropped him off be- fore one of the stores and called out after him: "About that dance Saturday at the country club, I won't be able to make it, I've got to go to Tom's!" he was heading toward Fitz' Sugar Bowl and she hoped Harold would be on deck to serve her a double-malted.

Mrs, May. is appealing a decision of Chief Justice Farris denying her claim to the mine near interior Kalso, B.C. said to be worth $1,- 000,000. The 30-year-old litigation already has heen carried unsuccess- fully through B.C. courts, the Su- preme Court of Canada and the Privy Council in London, where she made a personal appearance several years ago. Mrs. May, who long has conduct- ed her own case, engaged in a num- ber of heated discussions with the five appeal justices. "I must straighten out this mat- ter in Your Lordships' minds," she said at one point, and continued to read from the pile of documents she assembled in court, "I'm talking as fast as I can, and I still contend I have a right to a trial," she said at another point, "I know this matter and you don't, your Lordship." "The trouble is you don't under- stand much about the law--you do very well for a laywoman but you don't understand," said Mr. Justice O'Halloran, adding: "Why should we allow you to make arguments that we would not permit for five minutes from a law- yer. I suppose it's the tradition of British law. If you could only come here with your mind open-- but if nothing else you interest me, Mrs. May." After Mr. Justice Robertson had tried "for a fourth and last time" to explain a point of law to Mrs, May, the case was adjourned. "I think I'm am making some headway," said Mrs. May as she left the courtroom. 12 Universities Send Delegates NFCUS Meeting It was announced today that re- presentatives from 12 Canadian uni- versities are expected for the four- day conference of the National Fe- deration of Canadian University Students to be held in Toronto within three weeks.
