ORMISTON Editor and Manager PHONE 703 WH ITBY ND DISTR ICT NEWS Reforesting A Basic Need In Ontario Says Dr. Neil McEwen "If a man hasn't interest enough in his country to reforest it for pos- terity, he had better quit," chal- lenged Dr. Neil McEwen of Whit- by last night as he spoke to the Whitby Garden. Club. Digressing from his topic of "Pruning and Grafting," the doctor spoke on a subject close to his heart. He has forested many acres in Pickering Township over the past 30 years. "There are many areas in this town that should be reforested," said Dr. McEwen. "I could show them to you, Twenty-eight years ago I planted acres of pine on the Brock Road. Today they are 14- inches at the butt. I have beau- tiful spruce, ash trees and many others. With thousands of acres of suitable land in Southern Ontario, I appeal to you to make use of the provincial facilities to reforest some of it. Especially east of Cobourg there is much land that was once productive and now useless, unless it is reforested." "Canadians have not done enough reforesting," he said. "We are to blame for the water table lowering , and the resultant dry areas. Something should have been done years ago but no one seems to be taking a particle of interest in it. If you love trees, by all means plant some. You will feel a better man or woman for it." This address was given in the doctor's usual impromptu, inti- mate and humorous manner. As a matter of fact he was filling in for the speaker of the evening who had been felled by the flu. Others assisting in the program were Russell Van Horne and Mrs. W. Evans who read humorous sel- ections. Plans were laid for a special April 12 meeting to be held at the Ontario Ladies' College, when the speaker will be Dr. L. B. Williams of Toronto. At the conclusion of the meeting last night, lunch was served, Local Artists 'Interested In - Show Controversy Two Whitby artists whose paint- ings were among the 400 rejected for showing at the gnnual exhi- bition of the Ontario Society of Artists, opening Friday at the To- ronto Art Gallery said today that they were in no position to com- © ment on the charge made yester- day by three Toronto artists, that the selections for the show were improperly made. One hundred paintings are be- ing displayed at the show opening today. Would-be exhibitors may en- ter two works each. John 'Agg and Stephen Liszkowski of Whitby re- cently received notification that their canvases were not accepted. "I was not at all surprised," said Mr, Liszkowski who is now doing considerable original work in the abstract field. "I have not seen the exhibition yet." Other local artists are following the controversy with interest. Three prominent Canadian ar- tists submitted resignations: Ken- neth Forbes, ~ Marly MacDonald and Angus A, MacDonald, mem- bers of the Royal College of Art. They said they had viewed the annual show of the O.8S.A. at the Art Gallery of Toronto, which the governor-general will open Friday night. "There are more modernistic daubs than ever before," Mr. Forbes stated, "and very few outstanding pictures of the rational school.

J. Fenwick, the Union's district representative, announced today. The Union applied for a con- ciliator's assistance when William Sala, company manager, refused to meet the Union's committee and discuss a contract draft proposed by the Union, he claimed. "We submitted our contract proposals on Dec. 5 and when we tried to meet 'with Mr. Sala on Feb. 13 he said he would ngt meet us then but wanted another 30 days time to think about it," Fen- wick explained.

Mr, Forbes challenged the com- mittee of selection that he and a competent jury could easily select 50 pictures from those rejected that would be better pictures than the average of the hundred chosen, "Most of the committee who chose the pictures," commented Mr. MacDonald, "are represented by two pictures each.

Fenwick charged the plant has been most '"unco-operative" from the day the Union made an appli- cation for certification as a bargaining agency, "A number of employees have been fired and others have quit as a result of a general anti-union drive by the employer," complained Fenwick." We certainly don't con- sider this as bargaining in good faith 'as is provided in the Ontario Labor Relations Act."

Editorial Comment Education Week Education Week is one of the "weeks" in the year which we do not ignore. It would be unfair to place it on a par with "Eat More Cheese Week" or "Be Kind To Babies Week" and the rest. Even though Whitby schools are not holding any special observances of the week we feel constrained to make a few comments. Parents in Whitby, we believe, do take a serious in- terest in education. From time to time, education comes under fire on the grounds that the present system is not providing practical education for living. If the Canadian educational system is to turn out responsible, educated young people, it is our responsibility as parents to enlarge our own knowledge of the day-to-day activities in our own schools. It is said that a nation is no better than its schools. How "good our schools are can be determined by how enlighten- ed we are concerning educational problems and methods, 'and how willing we are to allow the educational leaders go ahead and make good schools. Education Week focusses a spotlight on our educational system, for it is, after all, the principal bulwark to our way of life. Training Paid Off No words can quite express the appreciation of many citizens for the quick action yesterday of the four Public Utility Employees who were successful in saving two lives G. | at Whitby Harbor. Trained in first aid these men were able to take the correct measures at the right time. The manner in which they reacted to the emergency, deserves official commendation. Constable W. Hall Of Bowmanville Funeral Today Night Constable on the Bowman- ville Police Force for 38 years, Wal- ter James Hall died Wednesday at his home, 48 Concession Street, Bowamnville.

Chamber Of Commerc Needed Here A few Whitby citizens are suf. ficiently convinced of the value o a Chamber of Commerce that th intend to make another effort bring into operation at a meet! soon to be held. While it may difficult to operate without a muni cipal grant and on the limited fi paid by members, nevertheless fi is possible that interested leader ship of someone with time to devo to the organization, would be abl to accomplish considerable for th Chamber. » Without furidsit might-be hard to carry on its. functions in the realm of industrial development, business promotions or some of the more grandiose aspects of large Chambers of Commerce. But it is suggested by a number of local businessmen that there are small, useful services which could be eas- ily carried out by a Whitby Cham- ber of Commerce operating from an office location. These have worked out well in other places. It could offer members a tele- phone directory service with the privilege of phoning for any want- address in various Ontario towns and cities and the larger cities of the continent, Provide a complete map service of Ontario, including resort areas and could stock information pamphlets thereon. Provide a stenographic and du- plicating service, a service which has been operated at a modest pro- fit by other Chambers of Com- merce. Run a calendar of events service in the office to prevent conflicting of entertainment dates. Cooperate and assist local indus- tries in many ways. Promote an annual Santa Claus parade, a proven method of bring- ing both rural and urban trade to town in the pre-Christmas weeks when it is most desired. The foregoing, as well as other functions of a Chamber of Com- merce, if carried out here would well justify its existence.
