MACPHERSON PHONE 703 WHITBY AND DISTRICT NEWS EDITOR ROBERT CORBETT, PHONE 703 Ajax Open House Shows Public Sr. School Work Money to purchase a reflectoscope for use in many of its classes was raised by the pupils of Ajax Senior Schoal last night at open house. Principal Robert Patterson, the teachers and pupils were host to some 400 parents who came to see their children's work. A number of teachers from other schools and Inspector A. A. Archibald also took a keen interest in what this Ajax school is doing. Though in a sense a makeshift #- school because it is housed in one of the original Ajax construction dormitories and though 1c may ap- pear outwardly dilapidated, this "overflow" school is in almost every respect the equal of any other. Cer- tainly its pupils are just as clever and just as adept at the prac..cai aspects of modern education, craft 'work, needlework, household econ- omics and music, On the teaching staff are Prine cipal Patterson, Mrs. Beth Brooks, Clare Sisson, Murray Clark, Miss Mary Moloney and Mrs. Nicholls. Mrs, Maude Fisher of Toronto is supervisor of music. Last night the pupils' work was on display in the usual fashion but in almost every room there was something on sale--candy, knitted wear, felt work, the products of manual training, etc. all for the pwpose of raising money for the useful purpose of buying the re- flectoscope. This piece of equipment cap project any picture so that it is »asy for pupils to trace and color. 3 »s used in social studies, science and other subjects, Grades six to ten are accommo- Gz bd in this school. Education there today takes a very practical turn. All sorts of knitted articles were shown; infants' wear, shell work, earrings, wood carving and a mul- titude of articles made from wood. There was also a "Fish Pond" for the young fry which lured cus- tomers with the sign 'Why not be a sucker?' Operating this project were Gordon McCullough, Carl Lovell, Dave Walker, Gordon Leh- man, Jim Jefferies, Bernard Mec- Griskin, John Pickett and Laverne Kellogg. In the science room. under the direction of Mr. Clark, his pupils gave demonstrations of six science experiments, electrolysis, distilla- tion, effect of pressure on the boil- ing point, and so forth. In another room, Principal Pat- terson showed typical educational films such as are shown to the pu- Pils weekly, Viewed last night were "ne pe - - ee NOTICE MACKEY BROTHERS Have purchased the truck and P.U.C.

Brooklin Rink Raised Entirely Within One Week Huge twelve ton trusses made principally from timbers salvaged from an Ajax warehouse make this new arena in Brooklin very sturdy. It is being built to last, Thirty employees on the job are working at top speed. The superstructure was raised within seven days and now is ready for "We want to have the ice surface ready the steel sheeting to be placed. for the first freeze-up." Brooklin Builds Rink In Time For | Season's Skating The way the Memorial Arena in Brooklin has sprung | up during the past week is just short of miraculous. ; Yes- terday, a crew of 30 men were putting the finishing touches on the framework and are ready to apply the sheeting today. Under the dynamic direction of the contractor Allan May- nard they are working at top speed. There is much reason for the haste since winter weather may set in any day and not only does the community want skating just as soo as possible, but it would not be possible to do much work ham are all in the rink building business these days--building to the weather. Recently they have constructed five rinks, with two yet {to complete in Blenheim and Pic- ton. Chairman of the finance commit- tee Roy Mowbray was on watching the construction yester- day. He explained what was going on and said that while there shou.d be enough funds on hand to com- plete essential construction, more money is badly needed to properly complete the project.

W. | delivered at Pickering Pickering Deputy Replies To Warden Wilmot Bain Partial explanation for statements made at the Pickering -township nomination meeting last week is given by Deputy-Reeve Dr. Neil E. McEwen in the following open let- ter to his council colleagues. Pickering, Ont.; Dec. 2, 1948 Mr. Warden and members 'of the county council: It is with the greatest regret that | I find I have annoyed you and others so seriously by a statement | township nominations. I sincerely hope that it has not interfered with your local prestige either socially or morally. Rest as- sured that I have confidence in the individual members of council and in no way were any of the sitting members implicated in par- | ticular in my statements. The pur- | pose of the statement was to show | the need for dissolution of the | county council and with your con- sent, Mr. Warden, on December 17, I will give you full details and the reasons for my. statement. Curb your curiosity until then, jIt will be the answer to my $64 question. Further, Mr. Warden, the county council may be a "buffer" but a rather expensive one to the rate- payers in every county of Ontario. DR. NEIL McEWEN.

TUNE IN TONIGHT Mercantile Harmonies CKDO...7:30 p.m. * QUARTETTE MELODIES * MERCANTILE DEPARTMENT STORE WHITBY Terror, Comedy All in "Demon" At. its first showing last night "Demon In The Dark" by Whitby Modern Players turned out to be everything the advance notices promised. A real "thriller-chiller," the mystery theme ran throughout but was relieved with lots of com- edy linés. From the shrieks of the audience "as the play reached its climax, "there was no doubt that it went 'over well. In fact, at the climax 'one of the scenes in the third act' when the town siren sounded; practically on top of the audience} it 'was difficult to disting- uish its wail from the ' hearty screeches of the audience. Atmosphere surrounding the plot was heightened by the not-too- bright stage lighting, the flashing of lightning and thunder through- out a portion of the play. All this important business was in thecap- able hands of stage manager Ross Scott and staff. Without revealing the plot it can be said that the story is one to hold the audience's interest every min- ute. The Players are under the dir- ection of Mrs. Anne Wilson whose hand can be seen in a lot of the good stage business which adds up to an interest-catching dama. Oth- ers taking a behind-the scenes part in the production are: Hazel Wor- folk and staff, who designed and built the set simulating the living room of LaFitte's seaside Outlook Lodge, and Lilyan Peake and staff, in charge of make-up. Names of the characters and players are as follows: Duncan McTavish, caretaker of Lookout Lodge, Sam Burnside; Jan- et McTavish, his wife, Marcella Rousseau; - Mary McTavish, his crippled daughter, Marion McLeod; Linda Trevor, Sandra's sister, Betty Peake; Bob th, Sandra's ex- Your Vote and Influence Respectfully Solicited To Elect OSCAR J.
