PAGE FOUR THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1947 LAT EST NEWS OF THE COUNTY TOWN OF WHITBY 4 Business Office, Miss G. Macpherson; Wm. T. Williams, Editor. T Phone 703, All Departments Three Local Homes Draw Council Ire Ask M.O. The Whitby Town Council last night ordered the Medical Officer of Health to prepare a written re- port to be presented at a special meeting of the Council on Thursday night, regarding health standards of three Whitby homes and also as to what action is being taken by his office to enforce the local health by-law. ! The situation arose during a dis- cussion of the failure of a Whitby couple, Mr. and Mrs. D. Chapman, Byron St. to abide by a ruling of the Board of Health to the effect that the present home of the couple, & converted gar: ze, did not comply with the health by-ldw. John Hare, Town Solicitor, point- _ed out to Council that at the recent sitting of the Court of Revision a complaint was registered by Clifford Wilde to the effect that his assess- ment was too high when it was con- sidered that the Chapman's were allowed to live in a converted gar- age on an adjoining lot. Mr. Haire pointed out that the Court refused a counter appeal to raisé the assess- ment and emphasized the fact that this was done because of the Chap- man premises. Earlier this year Mr. Chapman appeared before Council asking per- mission to live in the building un- til he could start work on a new home. At that time and after a lengthy discussion Council granted the permission subject to the ap- proval of the Medical Officer of Health, It was pointed out at last night's meeting that the Medical Officer had refused that permission but that the Chapman family had moved into the premises anyway and were still living there although the P.U.C. had refused to connect the building up to power and water lines. Council's attention was brought to two other premises in the town, one owned by Thomas Sheard, Keith St., and one occupied by Mrs. Thomas Richardson, Green St., and it was pointed out that they were in no better condition and perhaps not in as good condition as the Chapman dwelling. Council was in- formed that Mrs. Richardson is a sister-in-law of Mr. Wilde, who made the complaint against the Chapman home. A deputation from the Whitby Town Planning Board appeared to ask Council's permission to make a recommendation to the County Council that any pro extension to the County Home buildings be made farther west of the present site of the Home because in their opinion the Town of Whitby was expanding and would continue to expand to the north west. They pointed out that the County was considering an extension to the present quarters and that their in- formation led them to believe that such an extension would be built on an adjoining lot to the present building. Mr. Joseph Bannigan told Council that in his opinion the land be- ing c. 1sidered for the project would DELIVERY New Service Cleaners OSHAWA PHONE TUCK SHOP WHITBY Dk H. Report be extremely valuable as a residen- tial section and that if at all pos- sible the County should bg urged to keep it available for such a project. A communication was read to Council from the Commissioner of the Ontario Provincial Police stat- ing that the matter of traffic law enforcement on the highways would be carried out by officers under his jurisdiction but that the local de- partment was responsible for err. fercement on the highways would be carried out by officers under his jurisdiction but that the local de- partment was responsible for en- forcement on the highways within the town limits. The letter was received in answer to-a communication from the Town Council asking for clarification of the regulations re highway law en- forcement within the town. Council decided that the last re- gular meeting of the 1947 Council would be held on December 16, the day following elections. The question arose regarding a suitable night for the final meeting when it was pointed out by Town Clerk Jack Frost that the regular meet- ing would fall on electjon night. Resident Here For 40 Years, Annie Cox Passes A resident of Whitby for nearly forty years Annie Melvina Berry, wife of Leonard M. Cox, Charles St., Port Whitby, passed away in the Oshawa General Hospital yes- terday morning in her 68th year Mrs. Cox succumbed following a brief illness.

The game was played in freezing weather on a snow-banked gridiron, but both teams played as though the weather meant nothing, The small group of Whitby supporters who braved the weath- er were given a preview of what tho high school's senior team will look like next season, and they really gave a convincing display and were vastly superior to the Radium Town team in all depart. m ts, The whole team worked as a unit and shuffted their backfield every now and then in an' effort to find some plunging talent. The trio of Hood, Haire and Purdy, speed boys of the local squad, ran Port Hope into the ground with brilliant extensions and reverses which made Port Hope kick only as a last resort as the Whitby squad usually car- ried the pigskin back 40 to 50 yards on desceptive laterals which caught Port Hope sleeping most of the time.

Mr. Reardon is'at present attend- ing a Rehabilitation Trades Schoo] in Hamilton where he 4s learning the trade and although he has secured a location for his business it will not officially open for two weeks, A 'former member of the Cana- dian Armed Forces, Mr, Reardon has beer attending the school in Hamilton for several months and at present has only two weeks to go before completing his course. His new store on Colborne St., just west of Brock St. will be open on Saturdays only for the remainder of November and he has pointed out that he will ac. cept work on Saturdays to be completed during the week and available the following Saturday. Whitby Athlete Training With Olympic Icemen A well.known Whitby man, Dick Thomas, son of Mr. and Mrs, D, J.. Thomas, 419 Dundas St. E., is now in Ottawa where he is in training as a prospective member of the R.C.A.F., Olympic hockey team. Sgt. Thomas, who played considerable hockey in Whitby several years ago, is a centre ice player and is trying to catch a spot on Canada's Olympic representative team which will leave for Europe to participate in the Olympic Games in the very near future. Although the team has been practicing for some weeks, Sgt. Thomas in company with Cpl, Les Watkins, a defenceman from Winnipeg, only recently arrived in the Olympic hockey camp. Both Watkins and Thomas joined the team from their station at Ed- monton, ® Readers' Views The Editor, Tilnes-Gazette: Dear Sir: There seem to be strong indi- cations of a proposal to establish a swimming pool in Whithy, for particular benefit of the school- age children, This would certainly be a step in the right direction, but is 1t not time that the service clubs got together with the Chamber of Commerce and enlisted the co- operation of the entire population in putting over something worthy of this county town, and worthy of the present and future genera. tions of young folks? There is plenty of vacant acre- age in the town and a suitable location could undoubtedly be found for such a laudable project. It could be planned for carrying out by easy stages: a swimming pool, to be followed by a gymna- sium, bowling alleys, billiards and eventually, a capacious hall available for public functions, It !s possible some people would regard this as visionary and be- yond the means of this town, but the writer is optimistic. One does not have to he very observant to see that there is a tremendous amount of money being spent in Whitby in a manner that certain- ly does not build better conditions for youth. If a town.wide organization could divert 50% of this flood of foolish spendihg and harness it with funds available from busi- ness firms and private citizens deeply concern | with the present and future welfare of the young people, there would be no lack of funds to finance such an under- taking as suggested.

Mcintyre, asked Council last night at their regular meeting, whether any re- quest had been received from the County Home officials for addi- tional hydrant and water pressure protection. He said that since he would be in attendance at the County Council session next week, and that because of a report from Whitby's Fire Chief to the effect that there was only one hydrant at the County Home at present and this not sufficient to throw a stream of water more than five feet in the air, he wanted to know the answers in case County Council members asked questions concern- ing this fact. Councillor Ken Lee, Chairman of the Fire and Light Committee, told Council that to the best of his knowledge no such request had been received, Mayor William Davidson told Council that the Public Utility Com- mission had been officially advised of the pressure failure at the Home and that steps were being taken to correct it. Council saw fit to raise the salary of Fred O'Dell, Town Assessor, Building Inspector and: Works Sup- ervisor, from $2000. per year to $2400. per year effective December 1. Council ordered that a special meeting be called for Thursday evening to discuss and interview applicants for the position of care- taker and weigh-master for the Town of Whitby, The necessity for a new caretaker arose as a result of the resignation several weeks ago of Fred Little, present caretaker. It was pointed out to Council that eight applications had been received for the post but after some discus- sion the number of applicants was lowered to four. The four men still in the running for the post will ap- pear before Council at the special meeting. Council ordered the immediate purchase of a quantity of calcium chloride, for use by the road main. tenance crews on local streets. It was pointed out to Council that following the first of the year the price of the chloride would increase $2.00 per ton. --Council passed a motion giving Price Yards Lumber Co. two weeks time in which to remove a fence the company had constructed across Pine St. Council was informed that no permission was ever granted to the firm allowing them to erect the fence across the street. i Council passed a by-law author- izing the submission of a question to the ratepayers at the coming election to determine their feeling as to a proposed expenditure of $125,000. for the construction of a five-room school in the north west ward of the town. MRS. C. DAVIS Correspondent Brooklin, Nov. 17 -- The second meeting of the young Ac lt Sunday School Class was held on Thursday evening in the church basement with 34 present. Helen Grills, program convener, opened the meeting with a sing- song. Zora Holiday led the singing very capably and Barbara Smith played the music. The devotion started with a hymn. Then Mr. Fisher led in prayer. Margaret Hamer read the Scripture, and Marjorie Stevenson's meditation on the same subject was earnest and helpful. After the devotion Mrs. Patterson introduced the guest speaker, Mrs. Ralph Wilson, Whitby. Mrs. Wilson, who is head of 'the Little Theatre Group in Whitby, gave a most en- lightening talk on dramatics. She gave many examrles of the good gained in this type of hobby, how one gains self-confidence, poise, etc. Mrs. Wilson also told of her work among the children in Whit- by who are fortunate indeed to have a chance such as the Chil- dren Theatre provides. Judging from the close attention paid to Mrs. Wilson's talk and the private discussions after, it appears that the group is now definitely drama-conscious. The president, Lloyd Stevenson, took the chair for the business por- tion of the meeting. Mrs. (Dr.) Mc- Kinney was chosen as assistant Whitby Drama Director Is Speaker To Brooklin Group teacher for the class; Barbara Smith as pianist, and Ruth Ager assistant pianist, The roll-call for the next meeting is to be a suggest- ed name for the class, The Mission Band met in the church basement on Wednesday af- ternoon, Meeting opened with the theme song followed by the creed repeated in unison. After a hymn and prayer Marjorie Davies read the story of David. The offering dedication was given by the presi- dent, Helen Alves. Prayers of grati- tude by Christian Stewardship sec- retary, Jean Duval. The story was given by Miss Palmer and Mrs. A. Wilson took over the Construction. Meeting closed with Benediction. The Bible Society was re-organ- ized on Wednesday evening. Rev. Fisher conducted the devotional reriod. Rev. Edgerton Young gave a talk on the work and needs of the society and presented an inter- esting sound film on the life of Wil- liam Tyndale.

A. Cuddy, medical officer of health for Whitby, said toda Dr. Cuddy made this statement in connection with the free X-ray of all Whitby, beginning here Dec. 8, sponsored by the Whitby Rolar- Ciub in co-operation with the Ontario Tuberculosis Associa- tion and the Ontario Department of Health, Thousands of workers in war industries were also X-rayed, Dr. Cuddy explained, and many cases of active tuberculosis , found among people who looked perfect. ly robust. "Some people ask why 'we go to the trouble and expense of find- ing cases of tuberculosis when the people concerned are not ill", continued Dr, Cuddy. "The ans- wer is simply that long before the disease makes anyone visibly ill, disease germs can be given to other people. Every case of tu- berculosis comes from someone else." "That is the argument for care- fully searching for the disease, and on the part of the person affected with the disease, there is untold advantage in discovering it arly. In its ea. y stages it is the most curable of all the serious diseases." "There are still a lot of people who claim to be able to recognize a 'T.B., Look'", said Dr. Cuddy, although in some advanced cases there are certain symptoms quite easily detected, reven the most able specializts do not attempt to diagnose a case without the aid of X-ray", he continued. Everyone who gives the matter thought will agree with the X-raying of service personnel during the war," Dr. Cuddy de- clared. "There is no reason against the X-raying of the civi- lian population. There is every reason for it." Early discovery and prompt treatment of tuberculosis reduces Tuberculosis -M.O.H. the problem of re-employment, for it enables the person to go back to his job, whereas advanced cases are more likely to cause permanent disability, Dr, Cuddy pointed out. To those wishing to know what they can do to assist in the free Whitby survey, Dr. Cuddy said: "Give the project your hearty support by advancing arguments in favour of the project when- ever it is discussed. And when you can, do a little missionary work by stressing the importgnce of the survey in building a healthy community." "If you are a member of a service organization, make cer- tain your group are informed of the, project by suggesting to the officer in charge that an ane nouncement be made of the free X.ray service", DANISH DISCOVERY Cryolite was first discovered by, the Danes in 1794.
