CORBETT News Editor PHONE 703 Sewers North Of Tracks Believed Possible In 1951 "T weel kess your cheek." . Looking slightly embarrassed at this unexpected reaction to a rou- tine decision, members of town eouncil last night told Tony Mendyk #0 "forget about it." Mr, Mendyk appeared before council to support a petition requesting sewer exten- sions to serve some 60 houses locat- ed north of ihe CPR. Sans in what is impolitely known as sl town. Council decided to ask P.U.C. superintendent Herbert Pringle for a final estimate on sewer extensions in this area and should it fall with- in what they now think it would will proceed with the Spe Mr. Mendyk explained why so many ns have been unable to get building lots in the downtown sec- tion of Whitby although many such sewered lots exist. Due to the lack of local improvement by-laws, these lots are assessed so low that the owners have never been anxious to sell them, Thus people are forced into the outlying, less desirable sections of town, Mr, Mendyk sald the situation is bad with outhouses. Councillor Oscar Moore told him that when water was laid up in that section of town, the residents were loath to instal it. In reply, it was stated as a fact that of 14 houses that could now be hooked up to water, seven will not because they have electric pumping facili- ties from wells, serving them in good stead. The of seven don't care. However, he assured council that sewers are really needed and will be used. Clerk J. R. Frost reminded council that the Board of Health will enforce use of sewers once they are laid. "1 favor servicing this area ahead of any new sub-division," ° sald Oouncillor Alex Scott. "A better type of home is not warranted in that section without the facilities," said Councillor Nick Strynatka. . Although the town's debenture debt is high, Mayor William Elliott pointed out, considerable is being retired each year and should t! extension go in, it would roughly cost around $2,600 ay ear for 15 years. It would not serve 100% of the houses north of the tracks but the great majority plus a great deal of future building. Property Occupies Attention of Board Whithy High School Principal Donald Tutt advocated a change of combination padlocks for all school lockers at the regular meeting of Whitby District High School Board held in the school annex last night. The present system of built-in locks is tampered with too easily by mis- ehlevous students, he stated. In ad- dition, several locks have been dam- afied and the present stock of re- placements is quickly being exhaust- "Under the system which he sug- gested, combination padlocks would be sold to students when they en- rolled in the fall for the same small m which the locks will cost the joard. Students could keep them from year to year, They would be harder to tamper with. The move would not bc an expen~ sive one and would be an improve- ment on the present system, he de- elared < Dr. F. S. Mills recommended that & change be on a full scale for lockers in the school. The mat- ter was referred to the property gommittee for investigation of price #nd possible trade-in value of the Present locks. * A second matter brought to the attention of the board by Mr. Tutt gegarding the bell system in the school was also referred to the pro- perty committee with power to act regard to repairs, Mr, Tutt re- rted that this system has not Peen functioning properly recently. "* The report of the property com- Mpittee, given by F. J. McIntyre, #howed that tenders for painting ac- gording to specifications outlined by the school supervisor of the prin- elpal's office and lobby and class- oms one and three had been re- ived and the lowest, submitted by Frank Wells, accepted. The work will 'Pe done during the Easter vacation. ' "The board should inspect the 'work when it is completed before 'paymng the account," 'commented ohn Hare after considerable dis- ion on the respective merits of . painters who had submitted "fenders. +3 Mr. McIntyre also brought to the 'attention of the board a request "from she Department of Lands and «Forests to show in both Brooklin .and Whitby high schools a film on «fhe conservation of wildlife. «2 "Is this the thin edge of the 'wedge to put this subject on the % iculum?" queried John Hare. "There is no objection if it is mere- Jy a showing of the film but we 'fon': want this added to the curric- " when we 'have just pruned '4 to a workable size." .+ He was assured by J, W. Kaine, cipal of the Brooklin school, t this was just a gesture on the of the publis relations branch the Department of Lands and 'Forests and would not atfect the 'gurriculum in any way. Authority Was granted to the principals to Men's Club Has Good Attendance Twenty-three members of St. John's Anglican Church Men's Club at Port Whitby were present Tuesday night for their monthly meeting. One of the newer organi- zations in town, this club shows a vigor which will guarntee it per- manence. After being opened by President Harold Mace, the meeting transact- ed its business. The rector, Rev. James E. Harvey conducted a short devotional period, Highlight of the program was the showing of three excellent films on the Recreational Assockction projector. One film topic was & adventure in skiing; another on fishing and the third depicting a trip up the British Columbia coast to Alaska. Also assisting with the program was Robin Nicholson at the piano who led a round of community singing. Rounding out the evening, superb refreshments were provided | by i. committee headed by Seymour Whitney and Clarence Sleigtholm, make arrangements for the show- ing. A complaint concerning the heat in the school was dismissed since it was felt that no practical steps could be taken to improve on the present system. It was felt that as a rule the school was properly heat- ed and much of the blame for the coolness which brought about the complaint could be laid to the cold weather recently. Seymour Whitney who was ap- pointed School Attendance Officer at the last meeting, gave a brief repor' on his activities, He stated that he had only had to make four calls during the past month, One boy under the age of 16, was grant- ed a permit to leave school and a second boy who had reached the age of 16 had left school, A letter was received from the Viscount Greenwood Chapter IODE stating that school-children, if ac- companied by a teacher would be admitted free, to the forthcoming showing of Queen Mary's carpet on February 22.. The principals were granted a free hand to take any action they should see fit.

Claim Firm To Bargain The Ontario Labor Relations Board today was asked to intervene in the dispute between the United Steelworkers of America and the Ontario Machine and Tool Works, Whitby. Charging the Company with re- fusing to bargain with the Union, M. J. Fenwick, distriet representa tive of the Steelworkers, said he has asked the Board to send a concilia- tor here and help the two parties get together. "The Union was certified last month as the bargaining agency of the Company's employees," Fen- wick explained." We sought nego- tiations on our proposed draft agreement only to find that the Company was still trying to turn the employees against the Union." "A three-man committee met the management Tuesday afternoon for a few minutes," he added. "Wiliam Sala, Company manager, told us he needed another month's time be- fore he could start negotiations. We had already given him two months in which to study our draft agreement. We considered a fur- ther delay just a means of evading negotiations. "As soon as our meeting ended," Fenwick recounted, "Mr. Sala call- ed a meeting of the employees in the plant and urged them to quit the Union and he would then con- sider giving them a production bo- nus. This is a flagrant violation of the Ontario Labor Relations Act and we intend to stop him from repeating the same performance even if we have to seek his prose- cution in the courts." The Union, Fenwick said, is ask- ing the Company for an agreement which would give employees at least the basic rate prevailing In Whitby industries.

Ac- cording to the record of the Di- vision Registar there was 1 birth and no stillbirths in 1950, the low birth rate is due to the fact that there is no hospital in this town- ship, thus most births occur in Oril- lia. Deaths from all causes number- ed 18: there were no maternal deaths and no deaths under one year. Financial Statement Expenditures: Amount paid for salaries was as follows: Medical Officer of Health .. Sanitary Inspector 4 Other salaries ... 625.00 This is an expenditure of less than 29¢ per capita yearly. Summary of Progress A complete series of immuniza- tions was completed in the fall of 1949. This fall 240 children were in- noculated with booster doses of tetanus toxoid. It is hoped that these may be repeated yearly. Once again the local Board of Health recomimended that multi- vitamin tablets be given to each school child daily. The tablets are distributed by the Medical Officer of Health to each school. There has been a noticeable im- provement in the schools through- out the township in the past few years, especially with respect to better lighting, better sanitation, ad improved appearances in gen- er . There were a large number of water samples submitted to the De- partment this year. Two of the submitted from schools were below grade "A" and the necessary precautions have been taken to purify these wells. There were 14 ice permits issued this year. Milk permits were issued to 4 dairies selling pasteurized milk in the township.s Scott Township In reply to s written request for By BOB CORBETT : (Fourth of a series dealing with health services in Ontario County.) Before any major change is made in such an important field as the publi¢ health services of a municipsfity, it is necessary to know what "services are being provided at Ontario County were brought under the Health Unit system, health service costs would be greater (in most municipalities) than they are today. There is no doubt about that. But the services, now prac- municipalities, would be im- mediately stepped-up to a level enjoyed by. urban municipali- ties. For this series of articles, The Times-Gazette has attempted to obtain statistical data concerning operations of local Boards of Health but this has not been forthcoming from most municipalities. Pickering Township report and the Town of Whitby report will be published in detail at a later date. The following data shows the health picture from a cost standpoint in Mara, Scott and Whitby Townships. & information about Board of Health work in Scott Township, The Times- Gazette received the following reply from Olerk W. O, Webster: "Due to the death of our MOH. and Appolinment of new one, have no rd of Health report for 1949, 1950." However in 1049, it 1s revealed from a partial financial statement of Scott Township in that year, that from November 15 to December 31, 1049, there was a Board of Health in existence. During this period of 45 days, the four members, W. O. Webster, E. B, Blackburn, W. 8. Cook and H. J, Shier, were each paid $5 for attendance at one meet- ing and the MOH, Dr. F. E, Mel- low, received $20.50, representing salary for two months. Population of Scott Township is 1,645. (No ex- penditures are listed which would indicate that any actual public health work was carried out during this 45-day period.) Budget Too Low The Health Service picture in Whitby Township leaves much to be desired. Yet it can be sald that Whitby Township provides better- than-average health services than other municipalities throughout the county. Last year Whitby Township spent $491 on health. Only $6.01 was paid out for supplies! Members of the Board of Health received $4 a meet- ing and mileage. They held three meetings during the year: Population of Whitby Township is 2,514 yet there is no public health nurse available, A part-time school nurse was paid $157 for all her ser- vices in all township schools. Per- haps the best dollar-for-dollar ser- vice was obtained from the M.O.H. who has to listen to and act on numerous complaints from citizens, for which he is paid $250. All to- gether $485 of the $491 budget went for salaries and mileage. $30 was provided for convention expenses of the M.O.H.

The featured soloist was Miss Olive Rankine, noted Canadian soprano. This is the first occasion Miss Rankine has been heard in Whitby. This diminutive singer drew heaviest applause from the audi- ence and it was truly deserved. Other soloists of the evening were Freda Roberts, contralto, Isobel McCarthy, contralto and Phil La Penna, a clever accordionist, The tried and tested repertoire of both choir and soloists was such that no member of the audience could go home saying the music was "above" them. For instance (for what reason we do not know) Miss McCarthy's program billing of an operatic selection turned out to be Olie Speaks "Pale Hands," and other program numbers in- cluded the popular "Stardust," "Still As The Night," "Blue Tail Fly," "Italian Street Song" and so forth, Directed by D. E. Fletcher, the choir sang excellently. Their open- ing number "The Echo Song" was among the best. Without doubt this type of choir #§ heard to best effect on quiet harmony as in their rendition of "The Green Cathedral" and to least effect in climaxes of numbers such as "The Lord's Prayer" or the Street Song where the absence of robust rumblings from a male section is sadly missed. Four members of the choir joined in a comedy selection and did an excellent job of it indeed. Through- out the program piano accompanist James Reade backed up the choir to the full, According to the program this is the 105th concert by this choir which is financially backed by a Toronto dairy company. Evening Group Hears Talk On Trip To Japan The regular monthly meeting of the Evening Group, (WM.S.) was at the home of Mrs. Duncan Mc- Intyre on Mon, Feb, 12, Mrs. Breckenridge, the president, pre- sided during the business and de- votional portions of the program. Miss Blanche Meeker gave an in- teresting talk on her trip to China and Japan. She had brought sev- eral articles for display at the meeting and these proved most in- teresting. Lunch was served by Mrs, McGahey's committee, Ajax Bantams Win Round, Play Here |With Orangeville The Ajax Bantam hockey te under the sponsorship of the Har wood Businessmen's Association and the able coaching of Don Kemp, are going places these days: Playing splendid hockey they are right in the midst of the OM.H.A, Bantam "C" playoffs. Having disposed of Stouffville in two straight games, they were ordered to play against Port Perry in the next round. Using the Whitby area as their home ice, they defeated Port Perry in the first game by a score of 4-2. The seccad game was played at Port Perry on Monday, February 12, and in this game the Ajax Bantams eliminated the Port Perry team by defeating them 4-1. The score in the round stood at 8-3 in favour of the Ajax team, The final game at Port Perry on Monday night was an excellent ex- hibition of hockey and was played before a good sized crowd in the town's new rink. The first period started off with both teams testing out the opposing goal-tenders, and finally at the four minute mark Bill Tate scored for Ajax on a neat pass from Terry Skelcher. The Ajax Bantams continued to press and ap- proximately four minutes later Bill Tate repeated his efforts by scor- ing again, and the assist going again to Terry Skelcher. There was no further scoring in this period, al- though Port Perry had a nice oppor- tunity when they got a breakaway only to be frustrated by an excel- lent save by Frank Wootton, goalie for Ajax. Ajax continued to press at the start of the second period and fi- nally at the seven minute mark Noel Rowland scored from close- in after receiving a pass from Terry Wemsley. In the third period Ajax obtained their final goal when Bill Tate scored from a pass from Sketcher. Then Eddie Tovie for Ajax received a mis-conduct penalty far arguing with the referee con- cerning a tripping penalty which had been handed out to him. During the ten minutes that he was off the Port Perry team put on a deter- mined effort to score and after testing goalie Wootton, who made a number of spectacular saves, they were finally able to plish the puck past for their only score of the game. No further scoring resulted, and the game ended at 4-1 for Ajax. Ajax received 3 penalties and Port Perry 1, but the game was very clean and well handled by Referees, Mal- lony and Harrison. The Ajax team played well together and it is very difficult to pick up any particular stars of the game, as the boys pass- ed unselfishly throughout. However, mention should be. made of the splendid defence work of Wemsley and Tovey and the goal-getting ef-| is Salvation Army Work Is Praised At the recuest of Oscar Moore, Chairman of the Whitby Fire Committee, The Times-Gazette is happy to mention again the yeoman service rendered at the Port Whitby fire last week by Lieutenant Clarence Bradley of the Salvation Army and those who assisted him, "The Sale vation Army was right on the job," said Mr, Moore. "They gave our men coffee and sande wiches, It~ raised their morale, gave them strength to go on fighting the fire most of the night and it helped them stay on the job, as they had to, for many, many hours, Lieuten- ant Bradley's supply of coffee Was inexhaustible all through the night, The members of the brigade do not know how to express their full appreciation for his work." forts of Bill Tate.
