CORBETT News Editor PHONE 703 OBJECTIVE $6.000 FOR SWIMMING POOL PROJECT IN WHITBY CHURCHES Kinsmen Pledge $2,000 To Help Finish Swim Pool To assist the Whitby Swimming Pool Committee over its final financial hurdle, the Kinsmen Club this week pledged $2,000 to the swimming pool fund. At a meeting Thursday © night attended by members of the Canadian Legion, Kins- "men, Rotary Clubs and the Swimming Pool Committee, it "was decided to open a new campaign for funds with total objective of $8,000. This means that $6,000 more must be raised by public subscription or other means, in order. to complete the pool. However, the basic work will soon be done to provide swimming this summer. Cost of the entire project wasg: eriginally estimated by an inde- ent engineer at $25,500, includ- installation of a $4,000 filter system, By mean of using prac- tically all voluntary labor, it has been possible to keep actual ex- penditures to about half what paid labor would have cost. Now, to properly complete the pool located in the Kinsmen Park, the follow.ng work will have to be done: complete cement floor and for this 50 bags of cement have been donated by Leslie McLaughlin; in- stall sidewalk around edge of pool; run in water main; hook up over- flow outlets; build toilets, bath- houses and showers; backfill the project; and install the filter. Though the pcc may be opened without the filter, this is absolutely essential in the completed project and is considered necessary from a health standpoint, A fence will also be erected around the pool. Enough lumber is on hand to carry out some of the construction work. About $4,000 has been raised and spent up to the present time. It is desired to complete the project in WHITBY ELECTRIC Earl "Jake" Bryant INSTALLATIONS, FIXTURES WATER HEATERS, FARMS Phone 650 Whitby RADIO SERVICE GUARANTEED -- IMMEDIATE 130 Brock St. N.

Many Problems Considered At Legion Rally Here Members of the Canadian Legion are subject to the best legislation in the world, as the result of come parisons made, delegates to the Zone Rally of the Legion held in the Legion Hall here last night were told by J. E. Bays, Service Bureau Officer, and well known native of Whitby, in a review of the achieve- ments for hundreds of veterans ac- complished through the Bursau. This legislation, he pointed out, covers all armed service personnel of both wards, and he stressed the point that pensions now being ob- tained can be supplemented by war veterans' allowances. Comrade Bays spoke of the thousands of Imperial veterans now unable to work, but with 20 years' residence in Canadii, who now re- ceive no benefits, and urged strong support of representations now be- ing made to the Dominion parlia- ment. He pointed out that to muni- cipalities throughout Canada the payment of pensions and allowances had come as a great relief and was saving them thousands of dollars annually, He knew of many munis cipalities in the territory he cover- ed where there was not one veteran on relief. Comrade Bays was pleased to see such a large attendance at this sone meeting, stating that it was most encouraging. All the Legion work is not done in the cities, he said, pointing out that in numerous in- stances only a corporal's guard at- tends city zone rallies. We can now take the Service Bureau to the doors of veterans who need our as- sistance, he said, The Service Bureau, he said, was the very back- bone of the Legion. During the month of February, in the Toronto office, the sum of $6,590 had been secured for veterans in retroactiv. payments. In the last three of four years over $650,000 had been secur- ed in benefits involving an immense amount of work. He pointed out that the service bureaus were held in the highest regard by the powers- that-be at Ottawa, A Fine Attendance Eight out of ten branches in the zone were represented at the meet- ing, and from each most encourag- ing reports were presented. The branch at Port Perry, for instance, reported that the new hall now under construction would be com- pleted next month, when a rally would be held.

With Doug Mantz at the piano, "O' Canada" was sung. During the course of the even'ng, two enter- taining motion pictures "Holiday Island" and "Salmon Run" were showr on the Recreational Associa- || tion 'projector operated by Donald Gaine, The youngsters listened agape while Tim Daly delivered a straight-frem- the-shoulder, down- to-earth talk. First he recalled that 46 years ago his brother brought him to Whitby to box here in an exhibition match. Mr, Daly récalled the formation of the Maple Leaf Hockey Club over two decades ago and the building of the Gardens along with all the difficulties that came up to confront the backers of the Toronto ice palace. Talking about how the Leafs travel and how magnificently they are equipped, Mr, Daly enthralled his young amateurs who listened to lim. Secret of Success "The success of our team is to be found in its complete coopera- tion and harmony," said Mr. Daley. "They work together all the time." On Saturday night, all Canada listens tn the Toronto team game on their radios. To the boys in hospitals and many others, it is Young Hockey Players Thrilled At Trophy Night Young Whitby hockey players wildly mobbed Maple Leaf hockey star Fleming Mackell last night as they sought his autograph. The popular big league player was a feature attraction at the Whitby Minor Hockey Association "Trophy Town Hall last night. Also present, and the feature speaker of the evening, was one-time boxing ring champion, trainer of the Leaf's and 'good-will ambassador' for the hockey club, Tim Daly, who gave the boys a talk worth listening to, ® > the highlight of the v.eek and helps support their morale, "You. are getting wonderful op- portunities in sport today," he said and urged that the young players attend to their elders and coaches so that they may take advantage of these chances and so become better sports. Sport not only %uilds the body but it builds the .mind and encourages quick thinking, he said. Ending hie remarks Mr. Daly gave some personal recollections of celebrities such as Babe Ruth and Robert Tayior whom he had met. He brought something of the ex- citement and glitter of those meet= ings' to the boys in Whitby. Finally the speaker ended with some very amusing anecdotes, Presentations It was a proud moment when members of the Town Line Pee- Wee team were given their crests HOCKEY PLAYERS (Continued on Page 5) 1950 Westinghouse REFRIGERATORS I" "DELUXE" MODELS FROM $329 BUTT RADIO & APPLIANCE WHITBY HONE 707 rental.
