PAGE FOUR THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE THURSDAY, DECEMBER. 21, 1950 J. H. ORMISTON Editor and Manager PHONE 703 WHITBY AND DISTRICT NEWS ROBT. CORBETT New; Editor PHONE 703 Christmas Party For Little Folks A Big Event At Hospital That there is no place in Whitby where Santa Claus is made more welcome at this time this year than at the annual Christmas party at the Ontario Hospital was demon- strated last evening when Santa 'was acclaimed by nearly 200 chil- dren of the employees of the large institution, and by adults as well. Some idea of the magnitude of the task confronting St. Nick as he arrived on the stage may be from the fact that he distributed no fewer than 170 gifts to children all under 15 years of age. It was a sight that would have changed the heart of any modern Scrooge to see the little folks walk up before the footlights to receive their gifts from Santa, who was ably assisted by members of the hospital staff. The popular Christmas hospital community event, to which the em- loyees and several organizations such as the Civic Service Associa- tion, the Bowling Club and the canteen contribute, was held in the - gommodious community hell, which was. gaily decorated for the occa- sion. Trees aglow with colored lights, tinsel and other decorations, contributed to the Christmas spirit. A large number of parents of the children were on hand and the hall was well filled. Dr. D. R. Fletcher superintendent, was the chairman, and following an address of welcome with a spe- cial word for the children, he open- ed the program with a recitation "A Visit from St. Nicholas," which, in reality, is the time-honored poem "'Twas the Night Before Christmas." The superintendent did a good job on this, his interpreta- tion being perfect, and the audi- ence listened to him with the best attention. Miss Sheila Hayes, daughter of Mr. Frank Hayes, appeared before the footlights and sang two very lovely Christmas numbers, then invited the audience to assist her in other numbers. A class of probationary nurses, | under the direction of Miss Mar- garet Seymour, head of the occupa~ tional therapy department, render- ed a number of familiar Christmas carols, and then asked the audience to join in. Not only are these young women learning the noble profes sion, but they have some real musical ability. The numbers they sendered were well received. The distribution of gifts by Santa Claus took up considerable time, but after it was all over there was a trek to a large refreshment booth where Mine Host Alf Luke and his assistants dispensed re- freshments that seemed to hit the right spot. Sandwiches, Christmas eake, and other goodies were hand- ed ou to children and parents, and ther the curtain fell on a most memorable evening. It should be pointed out that a Jot of hard work is involved in planning an event of this kind, and ali who had a part in it are to be highly commended. It brought happiness to so many children, and that In itself may be considered ample reward. Rural electrification in Alberta saw 3,650 farms added to the sys- tem in 1950, of with Christmas songs and carols in which the audience often joined. Mrs, Gordon Davis was pianist for tenants Clarence Bradl with | Sergeant-Major Albert Carr deliv ered a short Christmas message. High Cost of Legal Service Noted By Council Unaccustomed to the potentialities of professional fees, some members of the Ontario County Council were surprised yesterday when present- ed by W. J. Hare with his account of $2,000 for services rendered in connection with preparing a con- tract and by-law covering the cur- rent $850,000 expenditure on the new County Home for the Aged. Reeve Ferguson Munro expressed the feeliug of some councillors when he termed the bill rageous." "Ott Mr. Hare then spoke to council in explanation of the account which was well explained and justified. He said the fee was commensurate with the value of the project and that his responsibility in the matter is continuous. Mr, Hare told ooun- cil he would willingly withdraw the acoount to place it in the hands of a Supreme Court Taxing Officer and abide by whatever decision was given, All in all, discussion of Mr, Hare's account consumed more than two hours on two successive days. Final decision was to withhold payment at the present time and refer the account to the 1961 council, by whichk time, it is anticipated Mr. Hare will have submitted other ac- counts for other matters he has been attending to for council. These other accounts, council felt, would enable them to determine whether or not they should pay the one in question.

It is also possible that the pro- jected site for a new Whitby High School, to be built within a fore- seeable number of years, will be included in this new sub-division. Work done on the proposition up to the present time is set forth in the following report of the special committee on sub-dividing a por~ tion of the County Home property. It reads as follows: On December 11, your committee inspected the County Home Pro- perty and considered a plan of a subdivision that had been prepared by the Clerk. Your committee is of the opinion that the portion of the County Home property north of the present County Home is sult- able for subdivision purposes. On December 12, your comunittee met with the Planning Board of the Town of Whitby and presented to Board the proposed plan of the area. The Planning Board promis- ed to give the plan their careful consideration and advise us at a later date of their decision. During our discussions with the Pla Board, questions were asked regarding the possibility of ering the subdivision. In order to find out what portions of the subdivision can be sewered, it will be necessary to obtain levels of the property. 'Therefore, we would recommend that a topographical survey be made of the proposed subdivision, nacs, Carol MaclInally, Delphine haron MacLeod, George Harmer, 8 Clemens, Zita Shelenkoff.

The first clausgs of the report also record the awarding of food con- tracts for supplying the County Jail in the coming year. It reads: Gentlemen: We recommend that the tender of Canada Bread Limited for the supplying of bread to the County Jail for 1951, at a cost of 12%¢c per loaf, be accepted. We recommend that the tender of Whitby Dairy for the supplying of milk to the County jail for 1951, at a cost of 17c per quart, be accepted, subject to any increase or decrease that may be agreed upon between pro- ducer and distributor. We recommend that the tender of Herb Wilson for the supplying of meat to the County Jail for 1051, on a basis of cost price plus 4% be accepted. We recommend the payment of the following account to N, J. Anderson, 4 days and mileage, in- terim inspection of County Pro- perty , . . $40.96, The following is a summary of the activities of your Committee during 1950, Three years ago, your Property Committee initiated a progressive program for renovat- ing, redecorating and equipping the Court House and it has been the pleasant duty of your present Committee to continue that policy. Many favorable comments regard- ing these improvements have been received from the Supreme and County Court Judges, Magistrates, Grand Juries, Court Officials and the general public, who are requir- ed, from time to time to use the facilities of the Court House. In order to provide the maxi- mum use of the Court House and to provide additional office ac- commodation, it was necessary to authorize the re-allocation of the office space. It is expected thot this will be completed by the end of January 1951, The "new office ac- commodation provided should re- sult in a more efficient and eco- nomic operation of the various department and relieve the over- crowded conditions that exist in several of the offices at the pres- ent time. During the last few years, there has been substantial increase in the activities at the Court House and the gradual ure banization of the sourthern muni. Sipaliug will tend to increase these activities during the next few years. This year, your Committee car- ried out the complete renovation of a number of rooms at the Court House. This included the removal of obsolete cupboards, repairing of plaster, painting, sanding and re- finishing floors, and installation of new blinds and lighting fixtures wherever necessary. The following rooms were modernized: Two rooms off the Council Chambers; the second floor hall in the north wing and the following rooms adjacent therto: aJnitor's private bath- room; Ladies washroom; 'County Engineer's offices; Committee Room; Assessor's Office; Janitor's Bedroom. At the present time, the main- D. tenance man is renovating the two rooms formerly occupied by the Ontario Provincial Police. We ex- pect this work will be completed in J. |a few days. After that, the main- tenance man will be preparing the rooms presently occupied by the Clerk-Treasurer for the Court Re- porter and additional vault space for the Surrogate Court Office. We expect this work will be complet ed by the end of January. We wish to point out that the following rooms have not been re- decorated, > We wish to point out that the following rooms have not been redecorated: County Council Room, Cloak Room off the Council Room, Sheriff's Office Surrogate Court Office, Lower hall. We have received complaints about the inadequate lighting in the Sheriff's and Crown Attorney's Offices and we would recommend that the 1851 Committee investi- gate these complaints. Registry Office: During the year only minor repairs were done at the Registry Office. Nevertheless, considerable equipment was pur- chased. This equipment included a typewriter, adding machine, the furnishing of the Registrar's Of- fice, Typist chairs and desk. Ad- ditional {filing space will be re- quired at the Registry Office and the present building is inadequate for the volume of the work that is being handled by this office.

Barnara Bridge Post-Mortem This week's Duplicate Bridge seemed to be No Trump night, as 13 of the 31 boards contained one or more N.T, bids. An analysis of the 13 hands shows that in 9 cases this was the best bid and that these bids were divided as equally as pos- sible between the NS & EW part- nerships. One example of where the N.T. was unsuccessful is shown below when the West player was defeated by one trick on a redoubled 3 N.T. contract, At all other tables the hand was played by North at 1, 2 or 3 Hearts or 3 or 4 Spades. Two 4 8. bids were doubled to give a high board to E & W when they defeated the contract by 3 tricks. It would be very interesting to know how the bidding went at all the tables. Its not even safe to as- sume that N always opened with 1 Heart and that E either doubled or bid 2 D, for at one table E pass- ed the 1 H bid.

The assessor said that it was impossible to place a normal fac- tory assessment upon the former assembly line buildings in which most of the present industry is located. Many of these line build- ings are not entirely suitable for the use of permanent industry. In addition, practically all the in- dustry is operating on a rental basis from Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation. "We have now completed the outside assessment with the ex- ception of the land," said Mr, Mc- Lean. "When our figures are added up, I think we will find that some 908 houses are assessed for ap- proximately $1,800,000. The total assessment of Ajax will be approxi- mately $2,500,000." Normal growth in the county as a whole has added $1,000,000 in assessment during the past year, Mr. McLean said, but the addition of Ajax and the normal growth will not compensate for the loss of assessment sustained by the annexation of East Whitby. Council embarked upon a dis- cussior of the merits, and other- wise o. the new provincial assess- or's manual which is hoped will come into widespread use. Few of the councillors had anything good to say abou. the manual but Reeve Thomas Harding of Reach was anxious that no judgment be passe ed upon its merits without ex- tensive study. "I hope the new manual will be acceptable to Reach for they are noi using any now," commented the assessor. Members of council inclined to the opinion that since rental value is a major factor in the new sys- tem of assessment, it will be ale most impossible to establish this standard, particularly as applied to farms. Hospital Report At the morning session of council yesterday, Reeve Willlam Noble of East Whitby gave a report upon his attendance as a member of the Oshawa General Hospifal Board, In spite of a high percentage of occu- pancy, the hospital ' deficits are steadily increasing, said Mr. Noble, and accordingly, the Board will introduce increased ward rates in 1951 with the object of meeting some of the prospective deficit. Mr. Noble warned that the county should look forward to having to pay its share of a new 119-bed addition to the Oshawa General Hospital as well as shouldering its responsibilities toward other hos- pitals used by county residents.
