Smith At Rotary At Birthday A group of Whitby and district young people who are proud to make frank statements about their religious con- | victions and hopes, the Baptist Church "Tri Phi" club, held | a first anniversary dinner last evening in their Sunday | School Hall. With them were guests from Toronto and from town. The three Greek letters by which ® they are known stand for Fun, Faith and Fellowship, all of whick 1 || were exemplified at the gathering Jast night. + Dr. Oswald Smith, pastor of Pco- ples' Church in Toronto honored -'the gathering with his presence and brought with him a singing girl octette which entertained with gos- pel songs. Recently back from Europe where he toured with the "Youth for Christ" movement, Dr. Smith ob- served that he found the young people in Germany hard and bitter, a whole generation perishing be- cause of one man, Hitler. "For the first time in the tory of Europe, German young peo- ple are revolting against the au- thority of their parents, It is im- possible to get them into churches," he said. "They are living lives of sin and rebellion. However to reach them, I do not know. In Britain, apart from Belfast, Ire land, I saw very few youn people at our meetings. That same state of affairs might be here in Can- ada if it were not for such grou as you have here; young peo occupied with many tasks for Go Dr. Smith spoke of his evang istic work in Toronto and how the results often were not apparent until years after. "A bountiful dinner was served by the "Three B's" club of the church President of the 'yoting people's club, Bruce Killens presided both at the Fanquet and a meeting in the church afterwards. Many attended filling the - auditorium. Rev. F. T. Darnell cpoke a few words of wel- come after which George Munns, | speakinz for the church board, © congratulated the young people on their acccmplishments of thei year. Others who spoke briefly were Stanley Mann, director of the club and June Betswaith, its: past president, In the church Dr. colored films of his tour What Is A Watt?

Davidson in his nomination speech that the dutics of assessor and town engineer be vested in two employees in place of having one man overburdened with work as at | present. This is a move that is long overdue and why the good of the town has not been served by doing it before, one can only guess. In a community of this size the duties | of a town engineer constitute a full time job. If assessing | also is not in itself a full time job, this office can be filled out by adding other minor appointments such as that of | building inspector. The mayor's suggestion is a good one and should be explored by the next council without delay. GORDON OSBORNE Whitby insurance and real estate | broker addressed the Rotary Club at noon today.

"Reduction in speed is absclutely | essential to safe driving on ice- covered pavement. The driver who | fails to reduce speed to compensate | { for sleet or ice conditicns endangers others as well 'as himself", Chief Elliott declayed, "The wise winter motorist drives defensively: He tries to anticipate the next move of those drivers ahead of him, behind him, and even those parked at the curb. He also expects pedestrians to appear | not only at the corners but even in k", he said. these expectations in mind, | the experienced and skillful driver appreciates the need for making extra allowances on icy pavement."

Lengthen the distance between | your vehicle and tae one ahead. If | giare ice conditions generally pre- | gents and traffic tie-ups. speed or direction. 4.

Being a Monday and washday, it was not expected to be below quota. Although the local quota now stands at 19,530 kilowatt hours daily this does not mean that any relaxation of conservation measures can be expected. A few citizens continue to take the power cuts with very bad grace some showing their anger in rather bizarre ways such as anonymous telephone 7 Superintendent Herb Pringle before six o'clock in the morning.
