Man With Many Tasks To Perform The multifarious duties of the the action last week by town coun- cil in extending the time for re- turning the roll this year. The ex- tension was made necessary be- cause of change in assessors made in May. Whitby's assessor J. Gor- don Davis is a busy man these days. : To most of us the work of the assessor is associated with the valuation of property. That is true, but an assessor's duties extend far beyond that. Valuation of property is perhaps the most important and most dif- ficult part of an assessor's work. Books have been written about that alone. The discovery, record- ing and valuation of property is a science in itself. The assessor must be a census taker. He must record the name and address of every taxable per- son. Also the' husband or wife of each who is entitled to be a muni- cipal voter. The clerk of the municipality compiles the voters' list from the records of the assessor so this information should be as accurate as possible. Age of every person must be as- certained; whether each person is municipal assessor are recalled with | THUGS SHOOT DRUGGIST Bronte, Oct. 4--(CP) -- Three | youths shot druggist D. A.

(Oct, 3). a British subject or an alien; whether an owner or a tenant. Occupation of every person must be shown. Women must be classi- fied as to whether spinster, mar- ried woman or widow. A non-resi- dent owner must be designated as such. Religion of every person is an- other requirement demanded of the assessor. He must show whether each owner or tenant is a public or separate school supporter and the number of the school section. He must show the number of per- son in each family and all other persons residing on the premises. In addition to his municipal vot- ers, the assessor is compelled to record all persons who are quali- fied to vote at elections to the Assembly or Provincial Legisla- ture. The assessor must even get pretty close to a dop's life for he is also obliged to retord the number of dogs and their sex. It will be generally agreed that for the efficient discharge of his duties the assessor must have a comprehensive understanding of assessment and municipal law as it applies to each particular phase of his work. He could not accur- ately complete his work without it. All these facts, which he has se- cured "after diligent enquiry" and "according to the best information to be had," must be set down in one assessment roll. Notices must ba sent to owners and tenants within a prescribed time, And if assessments are appealed, the as- sessor must attend the court of revision to explain and defend his work, Messages Of Dean Well Received A strong appeal to forsake the sins of complacency and "negative goodness' was made at the Baptist Church 72nd anniversary Sunday morning by Dr. Harold S. Stewart dean of the theological school at McMaster University. Dr, Stewart exhorted the congregation to return to the child-like virtues of simpli. city and sincerity and to pecome active in spreading their Christian beliefs. "Most wicked", he called an attitude of arrogant pride, pride of race and pride of nationality. The title of his sermon was 'Living as a Christian.' At both services the guest soprano soloist was Miss Ethel A. Robertson, Assisting were the minitey, Rev. PF. T. Darnell, in the morning Rev. H. G. Crozier, and in the evening Rev. C. A. Malcolm. Dr. Stewart's evening topic was "Promise and Attainment". Taking his text from Timothy, Dr, Stewart emphasized that it is high- Editorial Comment A Complete Nursing Service Time was when a nurse was little more than a good housemaid assigned to duties in connection with sick- ness. Today their training and skill are a necessary sup- plement to the ministrations of the doctor when illness strikes. Particularly skilled are the members of the Victorian Order of Nurses, many of whom are university- trained as well as having received instruction in the best hospitals in Canada. For the past 35 years public health in Whitby has been protected by a member of the V.O.N. No more ef- ficient community health service has been devised or is likely to. She inspects children in the schools; presides over immunization clinics; looks after pre-natal and post- natal cases and along with many other duties provides general nursing care daily in one's own home, if this'is desired. som AKIN TAMIROFF « ALAN HALE - HUGO MAAS + GALE ROBBINS + STELLA ADLER - BENNY BAKER oy Lucile S$ Prombe & essere ov ELLIOTT NUGENT » A UNITED STATES PICTURES PRODUCTION 8.Smith o Music by Max Steiner POULTRY WANTED -- prices paid for all kinds of poultry; also new and used feathers.

In its visits to citizens, the Victorian Order is a pro- fessional nursing service for which a maximum charge of However, at the discretion of the nurse in charge, charges are often scaled down com- mensurate with the needs of the family being served, The present campaign to raise about $850 is neces- sary because grants given by the Board of Education and by the town of Whitby are insufficient to carry on the V.O.N. work. There are no Dominion or Provincial grants available to the V.O.N. Large donations are not asked --rather a sum should be given as an expression of public appreciation for the magnificent work of the V.O.N. in Whitby. The aim of the Victorian Order is to make its services available to all who need it. Residents of Whitby can do their part when a canvasser calls on Tuesday or Wednes- day. Feature Of Sale This thoroughbred Stafford- _ shire terrier was one of the ar- tractions at the community auction sale Saturday evening. Donated by Mr. and Mrs. C C. Lowes of "Twin Birch" ken- nels, it was purchased by Ralph Wilson for $15. Full Church Gives Thanks At Festival "Ingratitude to God--the weak- iness of our day," was the general |theme of the morning sermon |preached by the Rev. Arthur {Chote to a packed church in St. | John's in Port Whitby yesterday. | Harvest gifts beautifully decorated | the church as they celebrated their | Thanksgiving Festival. Pointing' out | the reasons.why people today do not | thank God for His goodness, Mr. Chote went on to say that we often {become so obsessed with what we |do not have that we forget to be | thankful for what we do possess. | "We give so much thought to a iloss of some kind that comes to us that we forget our many gains. We | ought not to let the dark horizons {stop us right now from thanking God for 'His many gifts to us es-- pecially for our land untouched by the ravages of war. Yes, many of us take these as a matter of course and not as a matter of God. Above |all the material and physical bless- ings that He has given us, the greatest gift of all is His Son, Jesus Christ. I wonder if you have ever stopped to thank Him for our Lord," was the question Rev. Chote left with them. Special music was given by the choir under the direction of Robin Nicholson. Threatens With Axe Handle, Man Now In Custody After creating a disturbance on Highway 2 yesterday. Steve Bukola, 62, was' taken int ocustody by Whitby police. A provincial constable pass- ing saw a number of persons watch- ing Bukola who was brandishing an axe handle. His wife was lying on the road, bruised. It was later learn- ed that Bukola had been talking strangely in Whitby Saturday night. It is believed the Crown will ask for a mental examination. Bukola has been a tenant at his own farmhouse which he recently rented to William Smith. Both Smith and Thomas Da- vis, another tenant on the premises, told police that the accused man had been shouting threats and brandishing an iron bar outside his fouse. ! : ly necessary today to guard well the gifts which have been given us by inheritance, environment, by so- ciety or by training. Young people should - realize that society is in- vesting in them and something is expected in return. The develop- ment of a fine Christian character is the hest return for all that mo- dern Christian educational institu- tions offer to young folks. Too thany today are frittering away their "gifts." It is not enough to just be "good". Rather every person should do his best. Today we have a large heritage of sacred beliefs-- these must be guarded. Special music of praise was given by the choir under the direction of Mys. W. E. G. Sunmers at both ser- vices. Large congregations heard the messages morning and evening. Lincoln, England-- (CP) -- Thirty poisoning cases caused by impure cream from a Lincoln dairy co- operative have been blamed on mice.

All are invited to see this great picture, Auction Sale To Continue Wed., Nets $250 So Far So many good articles were on sale at the Swimming Pool. auction in Taylor's arena Saturdayenight that many did not get on the block in the allotted time. The sale will continue Wednesday evding until everything is gone. As it was, a profit of about $250 has already been realized to, aid the building of a pool in Kinsmen Park. Three auctioneers did their best® for almost four hours Saturday night. Corb Stiner, Stan Martin and E. J. Pomeroy of Oshawa ex- jercised their wiles on the custom- ers and came up with some good prices. A bed, springs and mat- tresses brought $26.50, a bicycle $7; a tent, $8; a child's bright red fire truck, $10; a fancy dish, $5 and. most of the small articles were sold for substantial prices. Two Quebec heaters sold for $11 and $5. However, much of the larger and better goods, which were left to the last, have still to go on the auction block on Wednesday evening. A choice item of the evening a Staffordshire terrier donated by the "Twin Birch Kennels" went to Ralph Wilson for $15. The highly bred animal showed a great deal of apprehension during its minutes in the auctioneer's arms but quieted 'down as soon as it came into ex- pert hands and was put in a quiet kennel. The donor of a good-quality ar- ticle found himself in an inter. estihg conversation with a customer who was looking it over. She couldn't get it to work. "People certalniy give all their old: junk to these sales," she com- mented. The donor who had parted with the article rather reluctantly, pull- ed himself together: "They haven't any conscience at all," he agreed. i During the sale, Mrs. Gordon Mc= { Mahon kept the record of sales. | At the close, chairman of the come mittee Donald Gaine, said he ane | ticipated just as large a crowd on | Wednesday evening.
