M. Goodfellow, managing director of the Mundy-Goodfellow Printing Company, in speaking of the passing of, W. E, Rice, veteran printer and- employee of the firm for more than 50 years, said to- day: "It has been a real shock and a great regret to learn of the comparatively sudden death of 'Ed' Rice. Since my boyhood I have known and greatly respect- ed him. In fact he was one of those who gave me some instruc- tion in the early days of my connection with the industry. Through all the years he has been a loyal, efficient and valued em- ployee, He was genial and cheer- ful, and the pattern of carefulness and neatness to his fellow em. ployees. "I know I speak for them all in expressing the deepest regret at his death." Attempts To Buy Reforestation Site of No Avail During the November session of the Ontario County Council which concluded on Friday, the report of the standing committee on reforestation was heard .by council. The report indicated that no further progress had been made regarding the purchase of lands for reforestation purposes. Reporting on investigation of 1C0 acres of land in Mara Town- ship which had previously been mentioned as a possible site for a county reforestation project, the committee told council that "a verbal report from the reforest. ing engineer for this zone indi. cated that the land was not en- ti-_ly suited for this purpose. The engineer declared himself not in favour of the purchase of the property because of the fact that there was rio other counfy forest in the near vicinity in which case it would be tremendously expen- sive to maintain and protect from possible fire," Try a Times.Gazette Classified ad for quick and sure results, NOW PLAYING LAST COMPLETE SHOW AT 8.15 "STOP APOLOGIZING FOR SEX, GEORGE APLEY ... didnt invent it!" you etoa by JOSEPH L.

Town & Sons Funeral Home, 110 Dundas St. Whitby, for service on Tuesday, De- cember 2nd, at 2.30 p.m. Interment in Mount Lawn Cemetery. van Pine 2%: William Edward Rice, | _ Veteran Printer, Dies Suddenly in 79th Year A well-known Whitby citizen ang resident here for most of his' 78 years, William Edward Rice, veter- an printer, passed away suddenly at the Oshawa General Hospital on Sungay morning following a brief ess. Mr, Rice who resided at 312 Wal- nut St, was the son of the late 'Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Rice, Whit- by. He married the Mate Beatrice Jennie Derby who predeceased him n 1938, Ever since boyhood the late Mr. Rice had been associated with the printing and publishing business; and at the time of his retirement last June was considered to be one of the oldest printers in the Domi- nion, with 66 years' experience. In 1881 he was apprenticed in the of- fice of the Whitby Chronicle, then under the proprietorship of A. G. Henderson and Samuel Graham. After learning his trade he went to Toronto to take a position with | Timmi the well-known publishing firm of C. Blackett Robinson, with whom he remained until 1806, when he re- turned to Whitby and entered the employ of 8. M| Newton, then prop- rietor of the Whitby Gazette and Chronicle. From that date for 51 years Mr, Rice remained with the same company, later owned by C. A. Goodfellow, then by C. A. Good- fellow and Son, and finally by Mundy-Goodfellow Printing Com- pany Limited. In 1945 upon the formation of the Company's Quarter Century Club he became its oldest member. Last June, upon the completion of 60 years in the printing trade, he indicated his desire to retire, and upon this occasion he was hon- ored both by the company and his fellow-employees in recognition of his many years of loyal and effi- cient service. ; During his lifetime he had wit- nessed the changing scene in news- paper and printing production, from the days of hand-set type and hand or foot operated presses, to the present fast machine setting of type and power operation of presses at high speeds. Surviving Mr. Rice are two sons, George, of Toronto, and Harold, of { ns. . The funeral service will be con- ducted by Rev. Gordon Channen, minister of All Saints' Anglican Church of which Mr. Rice was a member, on Tuesday, December I, from the funeral parlours of W. C. Town and Sons, Interment will be made in Mount Lawn Cemetery. T.B. Prevention Official, Says Whitby Survey Will Make Valuable Contribution vv "The incidence of tuberculosis can be cut in half in the next ten years, provided" the programme' of community mass x-ray surveys is extended to all sections of the prov- ince," said Dr. G. C. Brink, Direc- tor of the Division of Tuberculosis Prevention, Ontario Department of Health, While the death rate from tuberculosis since 1931 has been cut by two-thirds to 26.8 per 100,000 people, more intensified ef- forts are needed to reduce it still further. Dr. Brink stated that the coming survey in Whitby and surrounding district, Dec. 8-13, will make a valuable contribution to the public health of the community by dis- covering unknown cases of tuber- culosis and removing the sources of infection, He believes that every citizen will support the or- ganizations sponsoring the survey by availing themselves of the op- portunity to receive a free x-ray of their lungs. In order to make community sur- veys possible, the Ontario Depart- ment of Health is supplying the x- ray equipment and trained person- nel, as well as assuming a portion of the over-all cost. Large community mass surveys have already been conducted in a number of Ontario centres and the response of the public has been most satisfactory--over ninety per cent of the residents in some local- ities being examined. The discovery of many unknown cases of pulmonary tuberculosis and the fact that over fifty per cent of the active cases requiring treatment were found in the early stages proved the value of such surveys. In addition, a considerable number of important non-tuberculous chest conditions were found. Dr. Brink pointed out that man unrecognized cases of tuberculosis are infectious and not conscious of being ill. The insidious onset of the disease in the early stages with an absence of symptoms in eighty per cent of such cases gives no in- dication of its presence. It is an accepted fact that an xray film of the lungs is the best method of dis- covering unknown cases. Tuberculosis is one of the most curable diseases if found early and treatment in a sanatorium started at once, Not only does the patient stand an excellent chance of recov- ery, he emphasized, but his friends and close associates are protected from the danger of infection. P. K. Ketcheson To Address Rotary Tuesday The guest speaker at next Tuesday's luncheon meeting of the Whitby Rotary Club wil} be P, K. Ketcheson, secretary of the fa. mous Carling Conservation. Club. Mr, Ketcheson, who is one of Canada's most famous conserva. tion promoters, has chosen as the subject for his address, "Conser- vation of Wild Life." Secretary of the local club, Ted Bowman, said today that'the club was "indeed fortunate" in secur- ing Mr, Ketcheson as a speaker. "The demands made upon him are tremendous," 'he said. "We tried to get Mr, Ketcheson to speak to us last September but we found that he was booked up solid for both October and November. Mr, Ketcheson was able to grant us a speaking date on Dec. 2 and we accepted, It is expected that in addition to addressing the club, Mr. Ketcheson will also show some of his famous pictures on wild lite conservation.

Andrew's Day service held at the St. Andrew's Presbyter- fan Church, in Whitby, last night was described today by Rev. David Marshall as "very successful" A fairly large congregation was on hand to hear an interesting address by a former Whitby man, James "Scotty" Ormiston, former Whitby editor of The Times-Gazette and and now editor of the Trenton Courier-Advocate. The evening service was presided over by William Beaton and he was assisted during the evening hy Wil- liam Elliott, who read the lesson, and the minister. * Robert Wagstaff rendered two beautiful solos during the service and he was assisted by a special 8t. Andrew's Service choir con- ising of the men of the congrega- on, In his address which he entitled "The Creative Mind and the Des- tructive Soul", Mr. 'Ormiston said "down through the ages humanity has been the benefactor of men and women of creative genius exploited for the good of others--men who placed service before self, and who realized that he served best who served most. "Today in our churches, lodges and welfare societies we are cursed by too many joiners, men and wo- men who are always ready to: se- cond the motion for some good and noble purpose but neglect to supply the motion which makes it practi- cal and enduring. Mr, Ormiston concluded his ad- dress by saying that there are men and women who are always cutting and death-dealing, who are always saying that this and that cannot be done, and, that if by some mere chance it is done, failure will in evitably follow. "They are the apos- tles of doom who not only wield the scissors to cut but to kill" he said. Previous to last night's service, and was very largely attended.
