CORBETT News Editor PHONE 703 Federation Levy Set In Pickering At Half Mill Rate : On request of the Pickering Township Federation of Ag- riculture, Pickering' Township Council has agreed that the federation levy be increased from .2 mills to one-half mill, effective on the 1952 tax rate. While the levy is not compul- sory, the great majority of farmers do not ask exemption from it, Its purpose and use is a direct parallel to the union dues collected in industry. The new rate is expected to pro- duce revenue of 'approximatel Pickering Leads At a meeting of the Pickering Council last week, F. V. von Pilis, President of the Pickering Town- ship Federation of Agriculture, and Allan Lishman, secretary, addressed Council requesting the increase. The levy applies to all farms of ive acres or more. f Past revenues produced from the one-fifth mill levy were as follows, the year 1950: ee $700; Uxbridge, $450; , $50; East Whitby, $2177; Reach, $300; Whitby Township, $397. Total--$2,174. Although townships in other parts of Ontario levy the 5 mill rate, Pickering is the first in this area to adopt it. Others may follow. Aim To Be Strong In a wide sense, the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, to which a percentage I the levy goes, is the political arm of Canadian farmers. Like other organized groups these days, farmers are striving to achieve the strength to present their case before government bodies and to publicize their wishes and ideals. In short, to govern their own affairs. The Federation levy is a compara- tively small amount, insignificant in comparison with the fees the farmer usually pays to commodity groups. Likewise, farm marketing agencies and co-operatives are the economic arm of the farmer. Although the Federation of Agri- culture is non-political, neverthe- less it is frequently necessary to make representations to govern- ments and this can only be done through a properly financed orga- nization. It is the aim of the Feder- ations of Agriculture to become so strong that no government can af- ford to ignore its wishes. Pickering Roads Discussed Dr. Neil McEwen, Deputy-reeve of Pickering Township, continues to press for a program to create per- manent, hard-surfaced roads in the south portion of the township. Early this year, he proposed a $200,000 paving program but this was not approved by his colleagues. At the last meeting of council, Dr. McEwen and Councillor -Clare y $1,500 from the township. > | WHITBY MEN'S BOWLING LEAGUE Section A It's quite a race in both sections with just one more night to go to end the schedule.

The latter five-mile strip is now.a County Road. Further, it was moved by Dr. Mc- Ewen and seconded by Councillor Fred Zinkie that J. M. MacInnes of the Department of Highways be connected as to the advisability of building certain pérmanent roads in the south of the township, and if possible, that they supply the town- ship with an engineer who would estimate the cost of those roads.

It is about five years since Mrs. Ratcliffe closed her home here and went to live with her son, Roy, on a farm near Columbus. During the many years Mrs. Ratcliffe resided in Brooklin she was always an ac- tive worker for the church and community and during the last few years of her residence here she made her home available as a meeting place for the C.G.I.T. girls and the girls have many pleasant remembrances of meetings in her home, Meeting Of WA Held at Columbus MARY M.

The committees try to plan inter- esting meetings, They would be Druggists of Whitby see no need to have one of their stores open each Sunday, nor have they any intention of doing so, Charles Snel- grove told the Chamber of Com- merce executive last week. This was in response to a letter from the Town Council asking the Chamber to ascertain whether or not some- thing could be done toward pro- viding this service to the public. Council felt that it is a service gen- erally provided in other towns and desirable in Whitby also. Decision was that Mr. Snelgrove and other druggists will appear be- fore Council at its next meeting to explain their position. To the Chamber, Mr. Snelgrove"s main point was simply that there is no public necessity to have a drug store open in Whitby on Sun- day. All cases of necessity are will- ingly served by the individual drug stroe operators who will go from their home to the store. Further, he said, the public is not trained to use the store on Sunday and there would be no profit in Sunday operation for some time, particular ly in the winter. It is 11 years since local drug stores were open on Sun- day. it was pointed out that the bulk of probable Sunday drug store sales: would be of articles prohibi- ted for Sunday sale under the Lord's Day Act and the result of keeping open would be that the law is being constantly broken. The speaker asked whether the Town Council would be willing to pay any fines incurred. He also made the point that overtime work and extra staff would be invelved, resulting in higher costs of operation, No member of the Chamber exe- cutive expressed an opinion in sup- port of Council's request, Ontario Hospital Bowling League Ontario Hospital Bowling League standing: Pins 67,798 69,667 68,133 69,462 65,916 66,273 61,537 54,529 61,606 62,871 62,602 54,949 61,776 61,9509 95,156 58,417 67 Roughriders 64 Sea Bees .

Moran, 563; D. Thomas, 552, Death Calls Oldest Man In Brooklin Brooklin's oldest resident and one of the senior citizens of this district died at the Oshawa General Hospi- tal on Sunday. James Routley, who fractured his hip after a fall at his home two weeks ago, did not recov- er. He was 95 years of age. Up until the time he injured himself two weeks ago Mr. Routley was a familiar figure on the streets of Brooklin, He managed to get around very well and until the time he left here took 'care of his home where he lived with three sons. Celebrating his 95th birthday a short time ago, Mr. Routley recalled the early days of the village when there were four girst mills, two tan- neries, a creamery and a cheese fac- tory. He lived in the Brooklin dis- trict from the time he first came to Canada from Devonshire, Eng- land, ninety years ago. For many years he operated a farm just west of the village. On his retirement 15 years ago, he moved into the com- munity. : An officer in the Salvation Army for many years, Mr, Routley was active in its work up until the last year's of his life when he was un- able, for physical reasons, to parti- cipate to the same extent. The fun- eral will be conducted by the Salva- tion Army from the Robinson Fun- eral Home, Brooklin, after which interment will be made in Grove- side Cemetery.

Mildmay Camp Helps Children Toronto, April 9 -- A total of 440 children last year, who do not know the pleasures of adequate living ac- commodation and play space, were given benefit of Mildmay institute, said Grace A. Morton, headworker, at the annual meeting of the insti- tute. The meeting was held jointly with that of the Anglican Women's Training college. Florence Philpot, executive secretary of the Welfare Council of Toronto and District, was speaker. Mildmay's program provides for free play, simple handicraft, cook- ing, singing, games and dramatics, In adition there is the adult mem- | bership. Total attendance in all] groups was 22,400. | Last summer, 237 mothers and | children and members of the | Friendship club enjoyed a camp | holiday at Mildmay camp, two miles west of Whitby. Betty Gulliver, camp director, was assisted by three students of the Anglican Women's Training college. Camp costs about $17 per person, and the value spiritually and physically "cannot be computed in dollars and cents." Considerable more money will have to be invested for equipment and repairs if this work is to continue, said Miss Morton, In July, between 60 and 70 chil- dren attended Mildmay's vacation school and in August, Mildmay ex- perimented with an afternoon centre of supervised play, which will be repeated this summer. "As a Red Feather service we are not only fairly free from worry about finances, but we have the benefit of all the experienced help given by the Welfare Council of Toronto and District," Miss Morton said.

Wilson, assistant general manager of the Toronto Industrial Commission will be the speaker at a banquet of the Whitby,Chamber of Commerce to be held in the Canadian Legion Memorial Hall on Thursday, April 19, President R. G. Langford said today. Because Whit- by has been a paid-up member of the Toronto Industrial Commission for the past four years, the speak- er's position will bring to the af- fair a special interest for every citizen. All the executive members of the Chamber are busily at work pro- moting the banquet. which, it is hoped, will consolidate current pub- lic interest in Chamber of Com- merce work. A practical plan to let every citizen take a voice in the Chamber is that a question naire will be distributed at the banquet upon which anyone can note his own opinions as to what the aims and objects of the Cham= ber should be. It is hoped to have at least 150 persons at the banquet. Charles Snelgrove has arranged to have a turkey dinner served and there will be appropriate entertainment. The C. of C. executive has em- powered the president to appoint working committees as he sees fit, Chief of these will be the induse trial committee since the member- ship is agreed that the primary function of the Chamber in White by should be to increase local ine dustrial prospects. "We should attempt to obtain an office of some kind--to show we are in business," sald President Langford. "This office could also handle tourist information. There would be a lot of valuable contacts made through it. Certainly, the Chamber should have a place to hang its hat." More than a million greetings telegrams were sent in Britain in the three monttis following restore ation of this popular service late in 1950. | Seen the new rooms? .. ot THE SHERMAN Make the Sherman your hotel in Chicogor © New rooms, dromatically designed.
