Sewer Program In Whitby Said To Be 'Progressing Well' Whitby's new sewer construction, e n and water works project 4s now well under way for the year .1947, according to H.. L. Pringle, / Town eer. The latest job to reach the almost completed stage is a huge sewer extension program 'in the northwest part of the town !for the purpose of providing water ' connections to the new William J. ' Anderson Company building recent- ly constructed on Euclid st. . In speaking of the Euclid Stree _ project, Mr. Pringle stated that it had been a difficult job for work- men to handle because of the in- "clement weather conditions that have existed since January when the job was started. Mr. Pringle stated that a long extension was required to service the new factory and that the exten- sion runs from the corner of Centre and Beech streets to Euclid Street and then to Maple Street. He add- ed that the factory now has a water connection and that the worst part of the project is completed. In addition to the sewer exten- sion in that area Mr. Pringle stated that workmen yesterday commenced work on a new water works project which will parallel the new sewer extension. The reason for this proj- ect, according to Mr. Pringle, was because of the lack of adequate fire protection to buildings in the area. 'He sald that the former water works installation at this point was only of one-inch pipe while the new . extension will consist of six-inch pipe. He added that the area will undoubtedly have considerably more fire protection now in addition to having more water pressure. Although he weuld not commit himself as to the next job to' be undertaken, Mr. Pringle said that he believed nothing more could be done until construction is satis on the integrated housing projects on Green Street and on the property known as the "Finn Property." In speaking of the new water tank which was started last year, _he said that nothing new had been heard from the company who ere to supply the actual tank itself. He stated that the foundations for the structure have been in place since "last fall and that further work will depend on the delivery of the tank. The Town Clerk, Jack Frost, said that the Town of Whitby proposed to spend $4,800 on sewer projects in the town during 1047 and that the Council may have to consider other supplementary esti- mates. Mr. Frost stated that the figure to be spent on sewers this year was an increase over that of 'last year of approximately $300. He added that if proposed supplementary estimates were passed, the total cost of sewer construction in the town would ly approach the $10,000 mark. He stated that the large number of requests received this year for sewer construction was due mainly to an increased building tempo es- pecially in the Maple, King and Palace Street area. If this work is undertaken, it is expected that it will commence at approximately the same time that the remodelling ye begins on the sewage disposal plant. Mr. Pringle cited the fact that his office was being besieged with telephone calls from residents who were being slowly flooded out in their basements because of swiftly melting snow and blocked sewer drains. He sald that a considerable number of calls are received by his office each year and that it could be taken as a good indication that spring is on the way. Mr. Pringle stated that there is not a great deal of frost in the ground this year but he said he could not make up his mind as to : whether it would be a help or a hindrance in the work of digging new sewers. He said that the ground is slowly becoming drenched and that this factor may tend to slow up any future sewer operations. C.N.R. ORDERS .3,700 BOXCARS ------ , ._ Montreal, March 15--(CP)-- R. C. Vaughan, chairman and president of the Canadian National Railways, announced yesterday that orders for construction of 3,700 box cars at the earliest possible date have been placed.

Interesting Sermon At Whitby Baptist Church The minister of the Whitby Bap- tist Church, Rev. F. Damell, will deal, in his sermon on Sunday evening, with the "Social and Reli- gious Problems of the Jew." In speaking of the subject, Mr. Dar- nell asked whether Zionism is the answer to the problem for the Jew himself or for his Gentile neigh- bours. He asked "what effect will a British failure to implement the Balfour Act and the League of Na- tions mandate have on the religious and racial future of the Jews?" Continuing, Mr. Darnell said, "It has been argued by many defend- ers of the Jewish position that Christianity itself is to blame for the anti-Semitic attitudes of so large a portion of the Gentile peo- ples. This criticism constitutes a challenge for the Christian Church at this time" Mr, Darnell pointed out that this subject should prove to be of ab- sorbing interest for those interested in the prophetic message and its significance for our religious times. Previoug to the minister's sermon a song service will be held during which colored slides of hymns will be flashed on the screen. The organist and choir will be in attendance and will provide special music while the soloist will be Miss Ormma Flemming, talented young Whitby vocalist. Obituary JAMES ALLAWAY The death took place at his resi- dence, 39 Boulton Ave., Toronto, on Sunday, March 9, of James Allaway, in his 87th year. The funeral took place Tuesday with interment at Pine Hills Cemetery. Although not having lived in Pickering for many years, he was a regular visitor, and was widely known throughout Pickering Town- ship and district. The death of Jim Allaway recalls days in Pickering when there were a few more indutries than at present. He and Wm.

Mr. Frank Alla- way, Port Whitby, is a brother. NOW PLAYING | 'Two Shows at 7:00 apd 9:00; Saturday Matinee at 1:30 LLG TIT YS NANCY GUILD _ SOMIWHIRI IN THI NIGHT AN Car, Truck Collide On Dundas! St. W. A light panel truck and an auto- mobile were damaged in a collision on Dundas 8t. W., in Whitby, early yesterday but the drivers of both vehicles escaped injury, according to Whitby police department officials. The accident occurred on the No. 2 Highway during yesterday morn- ing's heavy fog in the vicinity of the Cochrane St. intersection. Po- lice department officials sald that a light panel truck being driven east on Dundas St. by Keith Raynard, RR. 1, Sunderland, swerved out in- to the north lane of the highway in an attempt to pass a stalled trans- port truck which had developed en- gine trouble. They added that the car, which was being driven west on Dundas St. by Victor Hinkleman, Oshawa, was waved on through past the stalled truck by the driver of the vehicle and that the panel truck could not stop in time to avoid the collision. Raynard, the driver of the light truck, told police that he did not see the car approaching from the west and that his brakes refused to work when he applied them. Police sald that at the time of the acci- dent there was a fairly heavy ground fog which limited visibility to about 500 yards. . Damage to the two vehicles amounted to crushed left fenders to the westbound car and more exten- sive damage to the eastbound truck. Hockey Title Still Uncertain BARRY MURKAR Correspondent March 15 -- The outcome of the Pickering Township Hockey League is undecided at the moment. In a two-game contest, goals to count between Claremont and Cherry- wood, Claremont took the first game with a 7-2 win. The next game was scheduled for Wednesday night at Markham, The rink manager stated the ice was good enough and Clare- mont journeyed to Markham to play the game. Cherrywood didn't show up, thinking there would be no ice. As a result, Claremont has the game by default and also the cup. The cnly other alternative is that Clare- mont forget the Wednesday night episode and play the game with Cherrywood. Claremont declined to do this on Wednesday, but as yet it is not definite. They may change their minds and if they do the next game will be played in Oshawa and the cup awarded to the winning team, Claremont carries a five-goal lead now and stands a good chance of taking the cup anyway. Ask More Snow Plowing A deputation from Altona Road, Woodview Road and Base Line wait ed on township council this week, with a petition, representing 75 per cent of the taxpayers of that cor- ner, asking that more snow plowing be done, that a plow be kept in the south end of the township and that more gravelling, grading and oiling be done. Mrs. Fred Hoare presented the petition. Mr. Robt. Lazelle, an« other spokesman stated that during the storm, children were kept out of school, and that many dollars in wages were lost owing to the drift ed roads, when no one could get out, Council replied that they would try an dremedy the situation in the future. Horace Brown, Pres, of the SPR. A. then spoke saying that it was no longer a case of asking for better road conditions, but demanding them, He asked the Road Superin- tendent if he would try and im- prove the situation in south end. At the evening session another deputation from the SPR.A. ap- peared with the snow problem, Checker Tournament The checker tournament held in the Gordon House here last week met with great success and players from Brooklin and surrounding dis- trict were in attendance.

Pickering Debate Snow Problem "We've got a lot of business to do here and haven't time to listen to you all afternoon, you've been blatting for two hours mow," inter- rupted Councillor Frank Disney, as Horace Brown of the South Picker- ing Ratepayers Association ques- tioned Road Supt. Roy Ward as to his length of service with the town- ship, and his steps to improve his system of handling the township's road maintenance. "I'm only trying to get informa- tion", said Mr. Brown. "Mr. Ward takes the attitude there's nothing more to learn." "Order", commanded Reeve Annis. "Mr, Brown, we're not taking any- more slams, ask your questions and get out." "Ward tells one story one time and another story to someone else," said Mr. Brown, "That's not so," replied Mr. Ward. The South Ratepayers presented a petition of considerable mames, asking for more ditching, more gravel and oil, and more snow re- moving equipment to be stationed in the south. A member of the delegation charged that some ditches in South Pickering hadn't been cleaned out in eleven years. "There's considerable work hasn't been done because of the help shortage," said Mr, Ward. The council was considerably in- censed over Mr, Brown's repeated questioning of the Road Supt., who has had a most difficult task during the current snow crisis, Council felt that Mr. Brown was endeavor- ing to show that there had been partiality shown in snow plow- ing, and voiced the opinion that he had set another spike in dividing the township. Mr. Heber Down waited on coun- cil on behalf of the Brooklin Fair Board and it was agreed that a grant of $30 should be given the Falr. Relief accounts passed for pay- ment amounted to $326.65. Chas. Puckrin was paid $10 for one lamb killed by dogs, and Ajax Legion was made a grant of $100. Bylaw was given its three read- ings and passed, to close the side- road between lots 24 and 25 in the 6th concession. There was considerable discussion over the police situation, in respect to the mew provincial setup which will relieve Pickering council of policing the township. Under the new provisions, Pickering's polic- ing would be handled by Provincial accgpts the call. Well known in the Dunbarton-Plokering district , Mr. Holley has been doing good work here and a call such as this only adds to the fact that his efforts bring recognition. men. The present personnel may or may mot be absorbed by the Pro- vincial force, but clerk Johnston has been advised that the council may recommend that their men be taken on if they so desire, and the matter will be given consideration. At Tuesday's meeting Deputy- réeve W. H., Westney and clerk Lloyd Johnston were appointed to visit the Provincial men in Toronto and Aurora for more information on the matter. However no defin- ite action was taken to disband the present police force. (Stouffville Tribune). Child's Operation Means Normalcy Springfield, Mass, March 15-- (AP)--Courageous 13-year-old Joan Marie Stumpek, whose left leg was amputated above the knee at her own request, sees the day when she will ride a bicycle "just like war vet- eran amputees.' : Dr. Garry Dehough performed the operations at the Shriner's Hospital after the Pittsfield Central Junior High School honor student "thought it over a long time" and consented. A malignant tumor put her on crutches when she was five and the limb never healed after it was bro- ken two years ago. Joan's first thoughts when she recovered from the shock of the surgery were an artificial limb and a brand new bicycle. She reached her own decision to allow the operation so she would be able to play "like other little girls." Dr. Dehough said that she would, barring complications, He reported her condition as "excellent."

They are giving the dra- ma in Albert Street United Church in Oshawa this week and at Kin- sale on the evening of March 21. The township snow equipment was unable to cope with the heavy drifts of last week. However, they hired a bulldozer and away went the snow and now the mail can get through again and we travel by road instead of through fields and over fences.

The new owner will take possession April 1st, and will oper- ate a dairy business there in con- junction with the creamery. The deal included the building, equip- ment and truck. Mr. McNeil is an experienced dairy and creamery man and will begin this week .to place new and improved machinery on the premises. Mr. Evans was the originator of the business and built the present brick plant from the former Cedar Creek school building which was moved to the Claremont site. He has enjoyed nearly a quarter cen- tury business relationship with farms in the district, and retires with the best wishes of his cus- tomers. Mr. Evans said that he had no immediate business plans for the future. Since the enforcement of pasteur- ization in the township, local farmers have been forced to relin- quish their small milk businesses to the Pickering Dairy who truck the produce nearly fifteen miles each day. The new concern will no doubt place Claremont in an inde- pendent position as regards outside dairy trade.
