PAGE FOUR THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE fHURSDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1948 ATEST NEWS OF THE COUNTY TOWN OF WHITBY, Business Office, Miss G. Macpherson; Wm. T. Williams, Editor. Phone 703, All Departments To Hire Engineer To Aid in Dundas School Renovation PS The property committee of the Whitby Board of Education was last night given permission to nego- tiate a contract with a Toronto con- sulting engineer for the drawing of plans and specifications for the proposed renovation of the Dundas Street Public School. The action was taken by the board following a werbal committee report from the property committee chairman, John Hare, in which he outlined to the board the extensive alteration pro. gram which was considered advis- able for the board to inaugurate. Mr. Hare told the board members that R. P. Alsop, of Toronto, a qual- ified consulting engineer, had looked over the school property on Sunday last and had recommended several changes in present lighting, heating and plumbing facilities there. Al- though no official estimate could be given last night, the board was in. formed that the complete cost of the renovation program for the Dundas Street School would be in the neighbourhood of $10,000. In addition to the report on the Ppundas Street School plan, Mr. Hare told the board members that a suf- ficient amount of money was going to be spent this year on extensive alteration and repair programs in the other local schools. He stated that he would give a complete esti- mate of the cost of such a program at a subsequent meeting of the board. E. H. Graham, principal of the Whitby High School, read to board members a letter from the teaching staff of the high school in which they requested an additional $100 per year increment over and above the one promised to them by the board last year. The payment of such an increment would be retro- active to January 1, 1948, The matter of the increase was referred to Mrs. Frank Wells, as chairman of the management com. mittee, and she was instructed to bring in a report to the board at a subsequent meeting. The reasons, stated in the letter from the school staff, as to why the increases were necessary were listed as follows: Teachers don't yet re- ceive adequate pay in comparison with other professional services; the steady increase in the cost of liv- ing; the fact that many school boards have already offered sal. ary adjustments retroactive to the beginning of the year. Mr. Graham was given permission by the board to terminate the night classes, at present being held in the high school, on March 18. He stated that the classes on the average were going very well and that he consid. ered them to be very worthwhile. The only course in which attend- ance has been below average was in shorthand. The board tentatively granted permission for the Boy Scouts to use the high school shop facilities for training one night per month. How- ever, they stipulated that Mr. Gil- bert, shop instructor, must be em. ployed by the Boy Scout Association to supervise the period and that the association would be responsible for paying him for the extra work in- volved. 8 A. Hutchison told the board members that he would like fre- quent reports from the truant offi- cer which the board has on its pay. roll. "I would like to know the rea- son why so many children are not attending their classes and I think reports should be filed with this board regularly," he said. Mr. Mc- Intyre, board chairman, told the board that the truant officer was supposed to make twice yearly re- ports to the board but that this was not being done. On motion it was decided that members of the board would go to Etobicoke Township on Monday aft. ernoon to view the Sunnylea School built there by John Parkin, Toronto architect. Several members of the RADIO SERVICE GUARANTEED -- IMMEDIATE 130 Brock St. N.,, Whitby, Tel. 707 board have already seen the school but some board members have not. A special meeting of the Board of Education will be called for next Thursday evening so that matters pertaining to the construction of & new public school in Whitby can be discussed. It was the general con- sensus that the proposed school still provided many problems and that the only way any decision could be made 'was to get together and "thrash the question out." Hector Beaton, Well Known In District, Dies The death occurred in Toronto on Monday, February 9, in his 82nd year, of Hector Beaton, well-known former resident of Pickering Town- ship. Mr. Beaton was an uncle of Dr. B. B. Beaton, of Whitby, and W. J. Beaton, of Toronto, and was a brother of the late Donald Beaton, who was clerk of Pickering Town- ship for some 50 years. Mr. Beaton assisted Donald Bea. ton as clerk of the township for a number of years. His father, the late Hector Beaton, also held the position of clerk of Pickering Town- ship for 50 years prior to the time his son Donald took over the clerical position, This is believed to be a unique record of father and son holding the same job one after the other for the same period of time. Mr. Beaton was a brother of the late John Beaton, of Oshawa, who was the father of J. H. Beaton and Roy Beaton, both of the City of Oshawa. He was a bachelor and his mother was the late Rachel Sidey Beaton. Service was held from the Stone Funeral Home, Toronto, last night at 8 pm, and interment was in Whitevale Cemetery this morning at 10.30 am.

Eleanor McIntyre Becomes Bride Of Toronto Doctor The marriage of Miss Eleanor Clayton McIntyre, daughter of Wil- liam A. McIntyre, a member of the staff of the' Ontario Hospital, Whitby, to Dr. Cecil Howard Wood, son of Mr. and Mrs. AH. Wood, Toronto, took place in Rosedale Presbyterian Church on Saturday evening, Rev, J.B. Paulin officiated at the pretty ceremony. D. H. McIntyre, Fort Erie, gave his niece in marriage. Her gown of white brocaded taffeta was made on classic lines with bustle of tht same material and slight train. She carried a white prayer book with a cluster of gardenias. Miss Mil- dred Homuth, maid of honour and Miss Margaret Wood, bridesmaid, chose frocks of fire rose faille taf- feta made on princess lines, with The Only Solution During his nomination meeting address to Whitby rate- payers last November, Mayor William Davidson made state- ments that indicated a 30 mill rate was in the offing for the year 1948. Although this was thought by many to be an extremely optimistic view, it was the general concensus that the rate of 36 mills for the year 1947 would be reduced to some extent, thereby affording some relief to the pocket- books of harassed Whitby citizens who were attempting to keep pace with the ever increasing cost of living. The picture today presents a different story. Instegd of having their hopes for a lower mill rate strengthened, Whitby citizens are dow showing marked concern over prevailing rumours that the mill rate for 1948 will be even higher than the rate levied during the preceding year. 3 Although no definite statements have been made b members of Council or other town officials the belief that the rate will be higher is growing stronger every day by virtue of official and unofficial remarks made by some council mem- bers in answer to questions from worried ratepayers. In the event that the mill rate is higher in 1948 than in the preceding year many citizens are going to criticize the present Council and many will find it strange in view of the increases in assessment brought about by new building and the much publicized equalized assessment. It is our belief that the present Council of the Town of Whitby is not to blame for the situation if it arises. It is a well known fact that Councils in other years have been lax in their duties to the extent that they did not keep sidewalks and roadways in a proper state of repair, did not foresee development of residential and industrial areas so that proper sewage and water facilities were available to a greater extent, The 1948 Whitby Town Council is faced with extensive expenditures for street maintenance, sewage and water main extensions and many other matters which, though smalt in themselves, mount up to an imposing cash expenditure when grouped together. There can be no doubt that the Council will endeavour to cut corners wherever and whenever possible but the fact remains that if the citizens of Whitby are to be served faith- fully and in a manner befitting a town of this size, then money must be spent in ways and in amounts that will do the job thoroughly. What is the use of successive councils cutting expenses to the bone so that their successors in office are continually faced with problems similar to those facing the present body? It is possible and entirely likely that by increasing the A mill rate the present members of council will raise the ire of many of the town's ratepayers. However, im so«doing, they will be doing a service to the citizens whether those who wax indignant at the increases believe so or not. They will provide the wherewithal with which town employees can carry on' the necessary extensions to sewers and waterworks, repairs to streets, renovations to parks and other tasks which have been almost completely ignored in the past so that the mill rate could be kept relatively low but at the expense of creat- ing a serious situation which is only now beginning to show ly true importance, . wos long ponted sleeves.

PHONE T. L. WILSON, 307 (35¢) By CLIFF GORDON Whitby Red Wings last night handed the Byers Motor crew their second defeat of the season as they soundly whipped the car men 6-3. The win puts the local crew one and a half games ahead of the Tor. onto team. Byers however have two games in hand while the Red Wings have finished their regular season's play. If Byers win both of their remaining games they will take over the top rung now occupied by the local sextet. The first period saw wide open hockey along with some firm and rugged body checking. Whitby op. ened the scoring as Trimm proved himself capable of handling that well taped stick of his, as he let go a rifle like shot from just inside the blue line that deflected off one of the Byers' players legs, This lead was short-lived however as the By- ers team begin to accelerate their speed and came back and knotted the score at one all, as Hall beat Dalby from very close in. Byers were short handed at the time of this goal as Machin was serving his first of no less than five trips to the cooler. Byers made no mis- take and never slackened their pace as they came right back just 50 seconds later to take the lead for the first time in the game. Weather. all was given a penalty that should have been given to Machin, and while he was in the sin-bin Whitby evened the count. This goal came off the stick of young Jim Corner his second of the season on a neat pass out from behind the net by Joe McCloskey, who displayed more spunk and playing ability than he has in a few of his previous ap- pearances. The period ended with the score all tied up at 2 all. Mac- Donald of the locals sat out four minutes of this period as he still finds his elbows getting in the road of the epposing players eyes, or per. haps it is the other fellows eyes getting in the road of his elbows. In the seceond period Whitby again took the lead as Arnold took a well laid over pass from Willlams and made no mistake as he flipped before he had a chance to make a play on the puck. Whitby however, missed several great scoring chan- ces as Byers were two men short but were able to weather the storm until they were back to full strength, 'Willlams of the locals was banished for interference an while he was repenting his ill do- ings Galt took a pass from Gee and again tied the score. Upon return- ing to the ice Williams picked up a loose puck at his own blue line and stickhandled his way through the entire Byers Motors team and even missed the big knee of Mach. in, who uses it to the best of ad- vantage only to be outguessed by May in the uprights for the car men. Whitby stopped the Byers crew right in their tracks in, the final pericd as they completely outplay- ed, outskated and out-bumped the Motor men as Machin found out as he was fast turning into a sore head with the result he spent no less than four minutes of this per. iod in the sin-bin. The player. who got Machin's temper up was Me. Closkey who bumped and dumped him to good advantage. The first goal of this period came off the stick of Williams on a pass from Arnold. The next goal was the best tally of the night. Coming off the stick of Dave Simpson who was mo- ved back to his old position on de. fence, Arnold took the puck on a pass from Simpson stickhandled his Simpson going right in on goal, then Arnold drilled the puck at May who kicked: it out but Simpson who was right on his doorstep, let go a blazing shot on the rebound to make it 5-3 for the Red Wings. Then with less than eight minutes of play remaining in the game, Wil- liams sank his second tally of the game to round out the scoring end of the tilt. The game ended with Red Wings Take Firm Hold On First Place Trounce Byers 6-3 the disk by May in the Byers twine' way around the Byers defence with | Whitby Chamber Of Commerce To Meet Tonight J. M. Roblin, president of the Whitby Chamber of Commerce, to- day issued a strong invitation to members of the Whitby chamber to attend tonight's meeting of that body in the town hall commencnig at 830 p.m. Mr. Roblin stated that the meeting would be an extremely interesting one and one that would well repay members for attending.

Mr. Roblin sald that he could give no 'indica. tion of what would be discussed at the meeting but he added that "it would be very interesting."

Obituary JAMES AYRES Toronto, Feb. 12--One-time pro- prietor of a' Queen W., barber shop, James Ayres, former drummer in the Queen's Own Rifles, died Tues. day at his home, 186 Sunnyside Ave, in his 80th year. Born in Whitby, he started as a boy drummer in the band there. He was tenor soloist for years at St, John's Garrison Church. One time he belonged to the Toronto Male Quartette and toured Canada and the United States. More recently he had been associated with the Old Time Entertainers. He was a broth. er of the late Wm. Ayer. Mr. Ayres was a member of Cor. inthian Lodge, AF & AM. His son, Harold Ayres survives, the Whitby team all around the Tyere goal seeking a few more coun. Ss, Simpson was the most effective mon on the Whitby defence in last night's game as not only did he Score one goal but time and again he stopped the oncoming Byers at. tack. On several occasions he would pin two of the motormen at once to really slow them down. Dalby after a shaky first period steadied away in the final two frames and played some fine hockey. Keeble and Gee were the pick of the visite ing crew. Who Whitby will meet in the first round of the group play-offs is not known as Byers have a chance of putting the locals out of the top spot. Should the Byers club lose one of their remaining games Whitby will be in first place and play off with Oshawa.
