PAGE FOUR THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE MONDAY, JULY 5, 1948 LATEST NEWS OF THE COUNTY TOWN OF WHITBY Rusiness Office: Miss G. Macpherson. Editor: Robert Corbett, phone 2589 Phone 703, AH Departments Bracey Gets New Honors Winning 880 Canadian Jr. Championship At Toronto Climax to several track championships in past weeks, Gerald Bracey, 208 Henry Street, won the half-mile Canadian Junior Championship in Toronto Saturday. His time was 2.02.2, just three seconds better than when he won the Dominion Inter-scholastic championship in Mont- real on June b last. After the race®-- flash-bulbs popped while Jerry held his magnificent trophy. But that was not the end of his accom- plishments on Saturday for the re- lay team of which he was a mem- ber, also broke the Canadian record. Top of the heap for Bracey has not come easily. He has been run- ning for a long time and training hard. = Although he has had some excellent coaching from a Toronto man has had little encouragement Jocally. Still a student at Whitby High School last ycar, his funds were naturally limited and he often hitch-hiked to and from meets at Montreal, Hamilton or Toronto. In many of his races he ran under the colors of the North Toronto Track | club. Saturday's meet was at East York Memorial Stadium and there he bettered his former time although the track was not in perfect con- dition. There were eight entries in the 880. Jerry also tempted fate farther Saturday running in Jhe 440 and placing second. in May he took a fling at an open mile at Bowmanville and won it. The new Dominion champ is son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Bracey, Henry Street. Bay Congregation Starts 103rd Year With Confidence "We must lift our eyes to the future," Rev. Arthur Chote told his congregation at St. John's Anglican Church at the 102nd anniversary service Sunday morning. A filled church heard an inspiring sermon by the rector and a very well rend- ered anthem by the choir under the direction of Robin Nicholson. "It would not be fitting for me, a newcomer, to discuss the past of this church," Mr. Chote said. "The past is gone and while we pay all honor to the faithful few who through the years have kept this church going, it is for us now to consider what sort of a church we should build in the future. How should we build and what method should we use to carry it out?" The rector quoted the Scripture: "Peace be unto you. As my Father sent me, even so send I you," saying that in that great commission can be found the modern church's method of progress. He spoke of Christ as the Prince of Peace and recounted how the Master spoke as his first words after the resurrection "Peace be unto you." So the Christian message is one of peace. , Today in the aftermath of war, nations are at each other's throats, poverty and need are rampant yet Christ stands saying 'Peace, come unto me.' In His day, at .a time when things were blackest for his disciples, he reappeared to them 'with the words, 'Peace be unto you.' "Today, and in the future years at St. John's there is a certain work for everyone of us," said Mr. Chote. "No matter what our varied capa- cities Christ will 'fit us for the job we have to do. In preparation time must be spent apart In prayer and meditation. But the task will not be too difficult when one remembers that we have a faith to see us through this world and the next."

His time was 2.02.2. Whitby News In Brief Accounts of social events, any news item of local interest and names of visitors are appreci yey he has been running under the Editorial Comment Publicity It is disappointing that the town of Whitby generally, has been given such little support to one of its sons who went from triumph" to triumph on the running track and now has won the Canadian Junior Championship half-mile. His achievements are of no small importance in the field of sport colors of outside organizations in- cluding a Toronto club. When he wins it is no feather in Whitby's cap. On more than one occasion Whitby's recreation director tried in vain to get him a little finan- cial backing. One local organiza- tion turned the proposition down. In these days when unions are king in many industries and there is founded criticism abroad that they tre over-playing their hand in re- gard to wages an dhours of work, it is well to remember that there arc very large areas of Canada's economic life untouched by nion- ism. The contrast between union and non-union is not over em- phasized by calling attention to the fact that unionized labour in many places is paid $50 a week for a 40- hour week whereas in some other industries and in many jobs in the county of Ontario married men with families are able to earn under $30 a week for a 48-hour stint. With the cost of living at a record high point this extraordinary gulf be- tween laborers in similar occupa- tions becomes a matter for great concern and discontent. Once a commercial firm helped with his transportation. Once a town official gave him transporta- ['tion, Speaking bluntly, Whitby is miss- ing the boat when it fails to cap- italize on just such things as men- tioned above. Not that the Cham- ber of Commerce was asked for any help in this particular case, but even if it had been there are no funds available for such matters. Conceding that there are two sides to a question, we would point out that runners will run and Jersey shows will continue whether or not they get applause and approval from citizens in general. Seed Of Trouble The contrast points up the hol- lowness of references to "equal pay for equal work." Something might be done to re- medy the situation by a basic gov- ernment action revising minimum wage cales. Men, as well as women, should Have the protection of reas- onable minimum wages. This action would have some tendency to equalize wages. In the past, minim- um wage rates for women have been 50 low as to be useless. We are afraid of the economic effects of high wages. We are a- fraid of the consequences of low wages. But we are more afraid of the unsettling effect on those dif? ferentials which make it hard for the honest working man to make both ends meet and to hold his own with his neighbour who happens to work "where good money is paid."

The committee also will serve as a clearing-house and advisory body to deal with problems of the festival movement.

A second resolution is that ad- | judicators must get the approvgl of local festival committees before ac- cepting outside engagements.

Mathieson of Winni- peg, president of the Manitoba Mu- sic festival, was chosen president of the national organizing committee. Executive members include W. B. Rothwell of Stratford.

(153b) WANTED TO BUY--ALL NINDS OF Turansky Stars For Juniors In Home-run Win With Bases Full The play that ball fans deam about won the Junior game for Whitby in Peterborough Saturday afternoon. With the bases full, Bernie Turansky stepped to the plate in the calm, steady manner he always shows on the diamond and connected hard enough to drive the sphere deep into centre field -- so deep that Peterborough fielding de- partment could only run after it. Game-end score was 8-6 for Whitby Juniors who have won three in six starts. The locals appeared to be some- what outclassed by the city team throughout, but gave a good ac- count of themselves. In all, they chalked up 11 hits. Peterborough opened the scoring in the first when an error was made in the left field. In the sec- ond, the Petes knocked off three more including a homer. Their other two came in the last half of the sixth and their scoring was end- ed. Whitby didn't score a run until the first of the eighth when Turan- sky opened on a short stop's error. McGregor walked; Neal got on base on an error and Ken MacDonald brought them in when he tripled, but himself was put out trying to g-t home, The fireworks were reserved for the last inning. With one out in the lop of the ninth, Lowe walked; Jim Gaine got a single and Keith MacDonald singled to load the bags. Turansky's homer came without warning and soared where there was no fielder. This left the score 7-86. The other run came after LL. Neal singled scoring Neal. Joe McClos- key's grounder to the pitcher ended the game. As was befitting, Turansky was asked to say a few words on the radio to tell the folks at home how he did it. His play also received big hand from the Peterborough spectators. Whitby line-up was Turansky, 2b; Loreno ss; Neal rf; McGregor 3b; Ken McDonald p; McGlosky c; Lowe cf; Gaine cf; O'Reilly 1b; MacDonald pinch-hit for O'Reilly in the 7th.
