WARD Director Lectures On Leisure Time The fourth lecture in Child Study, under the auspices of the Whitby High School with Gordon McdMa hon, Whitby Recreational Director, as guest speaker, Mr. McMahon chose as his subject "The Leisure Time of The School-Age Child." The meeting was exceptionally well attended and officials of the Association have expressed pleasure at the way the lecture periods have caught on here and held interest. In his address Mr. McMahon ex- plained that the meaning of leisure time should mot be confused and that leisure time activities were participated in with a complete freedom of choice and no element of compulsion whatsoever. He stated that it was the parent's responsibility to provide for time, place, examples and stimulation in their own children. » Mr. McMahon dealt at consider- |. able length with family recreation and stressed the ce of par- ents' participation in the play time of the child. He suggested further that in order to encourage the child to take part in a variety of recrea- tional activities with a proper bal- ance between active and inactive forms of play, it is essential that the parents take as much interest in the leisure time of the child as they do in the child's other activi- ties. Latest War Book A Broad Analysis Of Canada's Role Ottawa, Feb. 13--(CP) -- Capt. Peter Simonds, a young signals of- ficer and brother of one of Canada's top soldiers, has added a worthy volume to the slowly-mounting ver- from the names of routes leading up to and back from the Canadian sector of the Western Front. Simonds' book, like Canada's war effort, is climaxed in the Western Front, but it embraces a consider- ably broader field, His background for his task is the intimacy that comes of having served in the force he writes about, the 1st Canadian Army, \ He, deals sonmiewhat harshly with seme of its elements and actions, He claims there existed & perman- ent force "pressure group" of high officers, predominantly Progressive Conservative politically, who got thmselves promoted rapidly early in the war when "the Liberal cabinet did not want their task made more difficult by extraneous charges of political favoritism." He says Gen, McNaughton got the support of his officer corps in his ambition to keep the Army together for two reasons, patriotic pride and "out of the selfish motive that the existence of the Army commander Capt. Simonds contends that "mistakes were made at Dieppe and errors crept into the training planning of the raid long before the expedition left England." One of its boomerangs was that the Germans promptly saw the meed for radar, the same radar which picked out te Normandy invaders two years er, He sometimes seems to allow his brotherly devotion for Gen. Si- monds to spill over into his work. He maintains that he would have been the best choice to succeed Gen. looks, describes him as 'one of the most polished of British command. ers," and says the first division ac- cepted his brother "with a simple faith with a touch of mysticism about it which one only finds in re- ligious groups or in armies." Of Gen, McNaughton, he des cribes his "love of detailed and exact pl " as a handicap, says he was "always a Canadian first and a supporter of the Allied cause a definite second." He maintaing that "from a purely personal point of view," McNaughton and Montgom- ery would probably have got along well together but said their difficul- ties arose from their divergent con- ceptions of army conduct, Monty streamlining his generalship until it had no written orders, Andy bent on an exactness that added up to a hefty paper war. Montgomery also had e broader outlook on the Allies as a whole, he says, : In his references to these great leaders as well as others in his book, one is lured into a suspicior that the ideas may be those of Gen- eral rather than Captain Simonds.

Mrs. Ashton is a former member of the A.T.S. and prior to her marriage lived in London, England, Whitby Collegians Win One and Lose One In Fast Cage Tussles Thursday afternoon Junior and Senior age teams from the Whitby High School journeyed to Uxbridge where they participated in two fast- moving hoop games, Uxbridge were out for revenge after the beatings they took in Whitby and this added some excitment to the games. The Uxbridge squad pulled an up- set in the Junior game downing Whitby 290-9 and this makes the second straight loss for the Juniors. However, the Seniors kept the purple and gold colors flying by stretching their winning streak to three straight games, outscoring Uxbridge 28-9. Junior Game In the top half of the double- header Uxbridge Juniors pulled a reverse on their play here out- shooting and outscoring Whitby Ju- niors 29-9. It was Uxbri all the way as they took an early lead and held it throughout. The Whitby boys could not seem to get moving and the small floor added to their troubles. Uxbridge lead 13-9 at half time and the game still hung in the balance as play on the whole was very even and the Uxbridge team were having all the luck. Kester was the big point getter collecting 9 points, with Barnhardt geeting the remaining 4 points. Purdy paced the home team with 5 points and Sandy McLeod did some nice shooting for two baskets. In the second half, it was all Ux- and | bridge as they held Whitby score- less while they themselves added 16 points to their margin. Kester again led the Uxbridge scoring with 4 baskets. Harwood was next with 4 points and Barn- hardt added another basket to his total. The game was not as one-sided as the score would indicate, but: Uxbridge definitely had the better of the play. Kester, Harwood and Barnhardt were the best performers in the Ux- bridge squad. Purdy and McLeod kept Whitby in the running. A total of 13 fouls were handed out in this game 6 to Whitby and 7 to Uxbridge. Senior Game The Senior tugsle was a reverse of the Junior game as the Whitby lads laced Uxbridge 28-9. It was 'Whitby all the way as the Seniors added to their string of wins. The score at the half was 14-5 in favour of the county town lads and the score could easily have been double that, as the Whitby team took some time to get used to the Uxbridge baskets. In this half, Gaine paced Whitby with 3 baskets, Bracey and Richard- son each picked up two baskets. Harwood and Meek split the 5 Ux- 'bridge points between them. The second half proved to be an-! di other runaway for the Whibyites as they had too much class and shoot- ing form for the Uxbridge squad, when the Whitby boys began to tire they merely passed the ball about while Uxbridge guards stood be- wildered. Gaine again paced the Whitby attack hitting the strings for nine points. Richardson added another |P 3 points to his total while Bracey and Ross each collected a foul shot. Lowe and Harwood each collected a basket to keep Uxbridge on the score sheet. The game was essentially rough scrimmage with a grand 1 of 16 personal fouls handed out, six to Whitby and 10 to Uxbridge. Gaine, Richardson and Bracey paced the Whitby group. Harwood and Meek were always trying for Uxbridge. With only one more game left to play the Whitby Seniors are picked as the team to beat in their group. However, the Juniors have still a chance, and if they can win over Port Perry, this coming Thursday, it will be a three-way tie in the Junior group, each team having won one game and lost one, WHITBY JUNIORS: -- Frwds., Moss, Purdy, McLeod; Guards, Wil- liams, MacKay.

Floods Cause Vancouver Water Worry Vancouver, Feb. 13 (CP)--Danger of "animal infections" in the city's water supply faced Vancouver resi- dents today following heavy rains and smelting snow that caused the Capilano River to rise to near-flood levels and discolored the water sup- ply with sediment and soil parti- cles. Dr, C. E. Dolman of the Univer- sity of British Columbia said "Chlorination equipment is still in place and it should be turned on at once," as the river, swollen to the highest peak in 25 years ac- cording to oldtime residents, began dropping early today. Meanwhile, Dr. E. A. Cleveland, water board commissioner, said the water was "quite harmless" and that there was no danger of infec- on. (Vancouver last year discontinued chlorination of its water after using the process during the war.) The river was described as within a foot of flooding today but of- ficials emphasized that a possible flood held no threat to lives or property. Water was an unpopular drink here today with thousands of house- holders refusing to drink it. Cafes declined to serve it to customers and food product firms remained at a standstill after suspending opera- tions yesterday . rather than use dirty water. Own Home Ablaze, Firemen Answers Columbus, Ind., Feb. 14.-- (AP)-- Fireman Edgar Perkins was talking to his wife on the telephone from the Central Fire Station yesterday when a passer-by came to the door of the Perkins' home and called in: "I don't want to alarm you but I think your house is on fire." Perking heard enough of the con- versation over the phone to know he'd better not wait to say good- bye. The fire trucks pulled up at the house a few minutes later and Per- kins and his buddies d-used a blaze which was just getting started on the roof.

Tessier, cut the deck to uncover the five of diamonds. : "I asked her if she had the five of diamonds and if she didn't to cut it for me," said MacDonald, who is a boarder in the Tessier home.
