Mc- Ewen, at the special meeting of Pickering Township Council on Monday, which will present to council the request that $200,000 be debentured for ten years for the purpose of building paved hard-surfaced roads in the muni- cipality. A riff between the Deputy-Reeve and certain members of council with the Road Supf. Roy Ward, was apparent at the meeting. Deputy-Reeve McEwen charged the road boss, at the last regular meeting, with being incapable of building good roads, and a barrage of criticism was levelled at Mr. Ward by numerous ratepayers from the south of the township.

Based on a population of 29,000 this means that the per capita cost for hospitalization in Oshawa was less than 45 cents per day.

Dr. Stanley Osborne, On- terio Ladies' College, Whitby. Matthew Gouldburn, as chairman, gave a resume of recent activities and outlined plans, for the presen- tation of Handel's "Messiah" on March 12 next, at Simcoe Street United Church, Oshawa. He an- nounced several activities of mem- pers of the local centre among them being a recital by Rae Dudley to be given in Bowmanville on February 1 and a recital of liturgical #music being presented on February 8 by the choir of Holy Trinity Church' in Oshawa. - The speaker of the evening, John J. Weatherseed, F.R.CO., was in- troduced by Dr. Osborne. Mr. Weatherseed, the national president of the Canadian College of Organ- ists, came to Canada in 1922 to a position as organist and choir- master in Winnipeg. He was en- gaged in a similar capacity in Montreal for 20 years and is now the organist and choirmaster in Deer Park United Church in To- nto. "Mr. Weatherseed thanked the local centre for its efforts on behalf of the British Organ Restoration Fund and then reported on the revival, due to his efforts, of local centres in Montreal and Winnipeg and the founding of a centre in Vancouver. Part of Service ; In speaking on his topic, "Quality in Church Music," he discussed music as a component part of a religious service. He pointed out that since music is not actually a necessary part of religious worship it should be used only for the pur- pose of enhancing the church ser- vice and not for entertainment purposes. Just as the clergy lead the congregation to good living through the spoken word, it is the duty of organists to lead the con- gregation to the same end through good music. To determine what music is both suitable and good, it is necessary for those in charge to have as much academic knowledge as possible' and, for this reason, it is important that the clergy should during their college training obtain some instruction in liturgical music, since the clergy control to such a great extent the role of music in the service. Mr. Weatherseed defined the es- sential qualities of "good music, whether in the form of hymns, motets or 'anthems, as being strong, dignified rhythm, singable melo- dies and sound harmonization with a strong Dass as an essential. Mr, Weatherseed gave particular attention in his address to the problem of small choirs with the limitations of lack of balance be- tween the parts. He urged choir- masters who are unable to obtain well-balanced choirs to specialize in unisonal singing rather than singing inferior harmonized works. He pointed' oft that a great deal of liturgical music is properly sung in unison and that choristers in such choirs could pay more atten- tion to proper phrasing in such singing if they were not required to worry about the harmonization. Problems Discussed Mr. Weatherseed discussed the problems of having soloists in the church dat some length. He men- tioned that this appeared to be a development which had originated in the United States due to lack of adequate choirs and that the prob- lem was mainly 'to obtain solos suitable for use as part of the reli- gious service, Such works are ex- tremely limited in number and where taken from oratorios and cantatas are not always meaningful out of their context. He deplpred "held a well- |. 'themselves and the Road Supt. Ward, Dr. Mc- Ewen pointed out the saving in cost of gravel' and maintenance over a period of time by the laying of hard-top roads in the township. Increases in salaries for the en- tire office staff were sanctioned by council on Monday, and council will also enjoy in- creases. All mileage rates paid to office workers were hoisted one cent, from 7 cents to 8 cents. Lloyd Johnston, clerk, was in- creased from $3,300 to $3,600 a year. His assistant, collector-welfare, Mr. Ernie Baker, will receive $2,875, an | increase form $2,200. Mr. E. K. Jones, assessor, will also receive $2,875, an increase from $1,900. In- creases were also granted members of the clerical staff. Mr. Frank Prouse, building in- spector, was given a pay boost from $1,000 for a two-day week, to $2,000 for a four-day week. Council's remuneration was rais- ed more than 50 percent. The reeve will now receive $500, an in- crease of $225; and councillors will be paid $300 each, an' increase of $150. A bylaw was given two readings calling for the debenturing of §7,- 000 for a fire area to be established in the southwest corner of the township. The debenture would be for a period of 15 years and would bear an interest rate of 34 per- cent. Two readings were also given to a bylaw calling for the borrowing on debentures of $49,000 for the erection of a new school building for 8.8. No. 2, at the foot of the Brock Rd. The debenture issue would run for a period of 20 years. Appointments authorized for 1951 included Blake Annis and Dr. N. E. McEwen to the Board of Health; re-appointment of W. H. Ellicott as weed inspector; Cyril Morley and Clare Balsdon on the Planning Board, the former for a period of three years and the later for one year, Dismiss Charges 0f Faulty Brakes Charges of operating a trailer with faulty brakes and of driving a trailer with faulty brakes against John Gerow and 'Carl McGowan, both of Toronto, were dismissed by Magistrate ¥. S. Ebbs in police court yesterday afternoon because of lack of sufficient evidence. . The charges arose out of an acci- dent which occurred, about two miles north of Manchester on No. 12 Highway, on November 23. An old autotrac, bought for scrap iron by Gerow and towed behind his truck, swung out from behind the truck into the path of a car driven by W. J. Alexander of Hornby. Considerable damage was done to the car driven by Alexander in the collision. McGowan was believed to be at the wheel of the autotrac, Provincial Constable S. W. Pointon stated, but no direct evidence of this could be produced. W. F. Riley of Toronto, counsel for the accused, pointed out that under the section of the Highway Traffic Act which the two were charged, the "trailer" must be a vehicle of 3,000 pounds or more. No evidence to this effect was produced by the Crown. many of the so-called religious solos published by publishing houses which were of poor quality and de- signed more for the profit of the publisher than to enhance church services. " George Rapley moved a vote of thanks to Mr. Weatherseed and Dr. Osborne entertained the group hy playing some of the organ records from his extensive collection.

Norman Bowmanville Tax Payments Set High Mark Bowmanville, Jan. 19--Taxpayers in Bowmanville have made a com- mendable showing in 1950 taxes compared with past records. At present there is only an amount of $3,236.33 outstanding on taxes for 1949. The total amount of the taxable roll for 1950 was $178,717.41 and up until Dec. 31, $164,501.28 was paid according to Town Clerk Alex Lyle. The balance due for 1950 is $14,216.- 13 of which an estimated $2,000 has been paid since Jan. 1st. Methods of paying taxes vary, but the To Clerk said they are usually paid in $5's, $10's, $50,s and $100 amounts, or to be more exact, in dribs and drabs. . The total of the taxable roll in 1949 was $166,513.75, while in 1950 the amount had climbed to $178,- 717.41, or $12,203.66 greater than the previous year. The balance carried over from 1949 taxes was $15,467.41, while this year, 1950, with a greater taxable roll, the balance is $14,216.13, or $1,260.28 less. Ottawa Man Fined $1,000 For Lottery Ottawa, Jan. 19--(CP)--Christo- pher.

There were no immediate applicants for it. : Asks Three More Offi Need for a new office, larger staff and up-to-date equipment is stated by Pickering Township Police Chief L. W. Trinnell in his annual report to council, The partial text of the .comprehensive report reads as follows: I have the honor to present to you my first report dealing with the activities of the Pickering Police Department for the period since my appointment on May 1st, | 1950. I regret to say that I am un- able to supply any details of the cers 'Badminton | League Play | j driven by Murray T.

The highway, struck the hydro pole, smashed four apple trees before first four months of the year, as |tenders, the standing to date of the | coming to a halt. there were no records turned over to me. The ever increasing growth of population, and the expansion of adjoining municipalities, is greatly increasing the work of this Depart- ment, This, in my opinion, results from the great change in the dom- estic life of the community, and is | conductive to a state of instability The fact that known ! and unrest. criminals move into our area and continue their criminal activities for some time before we know of their whereabouts is another con- tributing factor in a Township as large as Pickering, where it is al- most impossible to catch a criminal at the scene of a crime, due to lack of personnel, and we must rely so much on our investigations, after the offence has been committed. Great Increase In Area While it was always the duty of {a policeman to assist any one in trouble, the great growth of the | area has increased these occasions ! many times over. In years gone by the good people of the area were able to settle their differences be- tween themselves, whereas now they call fhe police on the least provocation, to settle their domes- tic problems, find out why their relations do not reply to their letters, give them legal advice in all their troubles. I mention this to show how versatile a policeman must be to be able to handle these adjustments in a satisfactory man- ner. He must be tolerant, diplo- matic, and, tactful in order to cope with these occurrences, yet cun- ning enough to track down a dangerous criminal, courageous enough to make the arrest, yet diplomatic enough to settle a minor dispute, and whenever possible, prevent a breach of the peace. As the outside work of the De- partment increases, so does the office work. Much time is spent in keeping up with correspondence, summonses, confidential instruc- tions for the Crown, witnesses to be interviewed, preparation of cir- culars and other correspondence, that I have found 1t necessary to have Sergeant White spend much time at this assignment, when he | is needed at investigations. I do therefore, recommend that he be relieved of the duties of School Attendance Officer, in order that he may better carry out his duties as Sergeant. I do, however, recom- mend that the monies he has been receiving for his work be added to his salary. I recommend that Con- stable Higgins be appointed Atten- dance Officer in his stead, as he is a good typist, and would with Con- stable Channing give the School Attendance job splendid service, | they could then divide the sum al- lowed for this, as they would be doing the work in..their off-duty hours. Praises Constables I am very happy to highly com- mend the two constables, Gordon Channing and Walter Higgins, Their keenness, loyalty, devotion to duty, conduct and deportment is unexcelled, and I am justy proud of the Department I have the honor to command.
