PAGE FOUR , THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE MONDAY, DECEMBER 9, .1946 LATEST NEWS OF THE COUNTY TOWN OF WHITBY,' Whitby Editor, W. J. Duthie, Business Office, Miss G. Macpherson Phone 708, All Departments Nominations Tonight For Two Vacant Seats As Whitby Councillors Tonight's Nomination aroused more interest than did the first one, held Novem- per 29. Only four of the men nominated at that meeting qualified for office, leaving two seats on the council vacant. The meeting tonight is forge... the nomination of men to fill these . two seats, alg will start at the Town Hall at 7.30 p.m. Although there have been plenty of rumors flying about as to the names of the men who seek office, no candidates have yet given any definite indication of their in- : tentions Whether any of the members of the 1948 Council will reconsider their decisions to retire from office at the end of the year remains to be seen. Only one of the 1946 Coun- cillors is carrying on in 1947, Ken- neth Lee, the other new members being Seymour Whitney, Harry Jermyn and Emmett Oke. First Time In History This is the first time in the al- most 100 year long- history of the town that a second nomination meeting has been made necessary 'when the offices were not all filled at the first meeting, and seems & rather obvious sign of the growing lack of interest, not in Whitby only | in municipal affairs and govern- ment. The retiring Mayor, R. M. Dev- erell, has stressed the fact that the coming year will be a big one in the history of the town. One of the items which will be on the agenda for the new Council will be the building of the new Public School, the money for which was author- ized at last week's Council meeting. Another will be the building of the new sewage disposal plant, author- ized some months ago. Wm. J. Davidson, Whitby's mayor-elect, has also emphasized th- fact that Whithy's future will .end to a g extent on what happens in the coming year. He feels that the town should have an efficient Council to make sure that the town will have an efficient ad- minsitration next year, and that every section of the community should be represented on the Coun- How Many Will Be There?' » At the first meeting no more than 30 men and one woman were pres ent, and only one question was asked of this year's Council. At that meeting Fred T. Rowe, a com- missioner of the Public Utility Commission, expressed his regret that the chairmen of the P.U.C. and Board of Education were not pres ent to explain to the ratepayers what had been done with their money during the year. He felt that this would have been particularly suitable in view of the expenditures projected for 1047. . What will happen tonight is still anybody's guess, and what will hap~ d if, after this meeting, there are till vacant seats on the Council, is even more difficult to imagine, '+ If more than two men are nom- inated and file their qualifications the election will be held on Satur- «lay, as previously scheduled. If there is no vote for the Council, the three fixed assessment bylaws . swill still be voted on next Saturday. *Broker' Must Return $5,479 « 'Toronto, Dec. 8--(OP)--Mr, Jus- fice Kelller MacKay, in a judg- ment handed down here, awarded Donald A.

Wellman and his family, who formerly lived on King Street, narrowly escaped with their lives when fire gutted their Halifax home a few days ago. They were able to save nothing from the flames, and Mrs. Wellman, her mother and her two children, who only left Whitby a few months ago, are at present staying with relatives in Portland, Maine. The house burned to the ground in a very few minutes, and being outside the limits of Halifax fire fighters could not get water in sufficient quantity to have any effect on the blaze. Mrs. Wellman made an effort to rescue some of their belongings, but an explosion in the house drove her out again. Dr. Wellman, who is well known in Whitby, was formerly on the staff at the Ontario Hospital, and has since the early part of the war been with the Royal Canadian Navy in Halifax.

Friday Commencement Will Mark Centennial Of Whitby High School A major event in the history of the Whitby High School will occur next Friday night when the 100th anni- versary of the founding of the Senior County Grammar School will be celebrated at the Commencement Exercises. To mark this special event Hon. George Drew, who is Minister of Education as well as Premier of the Province of Ontario, will be the guest speaker of the night. In that hundred years the num- ber of students who attended an- nually has risen from a score or two to the present high level of 260, and the school itself has undergone many physical as well as scholastic changes. Founded In 1846 Under an act passed in 1839 auth- orization was given for the found- ing of Grammar Schools in several of the County Towns in the prov- ince and in 1846 the Senior County Grammar School was first estab- lished in Whitby. 'The present build- ing went up in 1873, and fifty years ago looked much like it does today, save for the addition of the east wing in 1927, and an extensive re- modelling job done in 1915, In fact this remodelling was so large a project that from the early summer of 1915 to the spring of 1916 the school was vacant. Early records no longer exist, but 8 history of the school was written in 1932 by the late Dr. C. F. McGil- livray, who was then the secretary of the Board of Education. In it he has noted the wvarious ups and downs of the school, the changes in its structure and staff and in its name. From being a Grammar School it became a High School, then in 1880 a Collegiate Institute, but in 1911 its status was again made that of a High School. The difference between the titles is that a Collegiate Institute has a certain number of teachers with specialists certificates, but in 1880 the change in name was made because the re- quired number of 60 boys were studying Latin. Many Well Known Principals One of the earliest and one of the most famous principals of the High School was Thomas Kirkwood, whose term lasted from 1863 to 1871. During his tenure the fame of the school was widespread and students came from all parts of the province and also from Quebec and the Mari- times to be educated here. At that period there were usually over 100 students in the two-roomed school and there were three teachers on the staff. During the ten years from 1873 to 1883 G. H. Robinson was princi- pal and four rooms were added to the school at a cost of some $6000. Mr. Robinson is reported to have been "perhaps & martinet in discip- line but a great scholar and a great educationalist. Also in those years Sir Hector Langevin, a Quebec cab- inet minister, visited the school and presented the Langevin Cup, which is still offered for annual competi- tion, and was this year won by Ger- ald Bracey. Left Money For Prize In the early 1890's Willlam Tamb- lyn was principal, of whom Dr. Mc- Gillivray says, "His method of teaching seemed to some eccentric and peculiar, but his results were good. Though constantly in trouble with his Trustees, he proved him- self a 'bonny fetcher'. In his will he left the sum of $200 to the school, the interest of which is given an- nually as the Tamblyn prizes for public speaking." At the turn of the century George H. Hogarth, who died only a few months ago, was principal, and dur- ing his work there the attendance was 80 low that the Department of Education forced the trustees to change the name of the school from "1 Know Just How You Feel" #1 know because I have been that way myself.

As she walked 1 journey to education, looked quite cute the way her mother had her dressed in a little outfit .she had been saving for this occasion lo these rhany months, So eager was she for this adventure that she could hardly take time to kiss me goodbye. Her starry blue eyes were open wider than ever, so far, those baby blue eyes are only amazed and intrigued by the every- day things of life and have yet to grasp the meaning of the .sordid things. Tonight at the dinner table she was bursting with the news of the day. She's asleep now. As I tucked the covers around her~she reached out and drew her rag doll, "Zinny," to her. I watched as a wistful smile played across her face and her red curls formed a flaming halo around her head. Yes, she's safe in her bed tonight and my constant prayer is that she will return safely each night, WILL YOU HELP ME, MR. MO- TORIST? -- PLEASE! YOU CAN IF YOU WILL KEEP YOUR EYE OUT FOR HER AND DRIVE JUST A WEE BIT SLOWER AND BE AS CAREFUL AS YOU CAN. I can't be with her all the time, but I have talked to her about the dangers in crossing the streets; I have explained to her about the red and green lights: I have asked her not to play in the streets. She obeys me as well as can be expected of a type her size and age, but she's as agile es a chipmunk and when she gets excited in her play she darts thither and yon. I love her, and for all the world I want her to grow up to be a fine, strong, healthy Canadian girl. You will then, won't you, be on the lookout for her -- yes, and for all the hundreds of other little Canadian citizens-in-the-making? Thank you so much. ' Sincerely, A DADDY. (Reprinted from the Maple Leaflet) Collegiate Institute back to High School. By 1027 the attendance had risen so high that the new addition to the school was built, providing a gymnasium, an assembly hall and an extra classroom. The old gym -was torn down and the grounds graded and seeded, the total opere ation costing approximately $30,000. From 1927 to 1942 Arthur Archi. bald was principal. He left the school to become a school inspector and his place was taken for two years by Irving McNaughton and Since then by E. Hart Graham, the present principal. During that time the Wilson cottage was purchased and turned into an agricultural ane nex, and the staff increased to 12. On Friday the Commencement Exercises will mark these 100 years of changes in thé school and will start the second century on its way.
