CORBETT News Editor PHONE 703 Lay Cornerstone Of Citadel of Masonry In Brooklin Village By J. Hi ORMISTON "It is my prayerful hope that this structure will be regarded as a memorial to the past and a challenge to those of the present and the future to maintain the high prin- ciples, good fellowship and brotherly love which should always characterize Masonry." So declared Bro. Fred W. Browne of Leaside, a native of the Brooklin district, and a Mason for 59 years, yesterday afternoon in Brooklin as he de- clared "well and truly laid" the granite cornerstone of the new Masonic Temple now under construction by Mount Zion Lodge No. 39, Brooklin. The ceremony, one that is ancient and ever new and fresh in Masonic craftsmanship, brought together prominent members of the Order from many parts As Old Sol beamed down in late summer gplendour the stone of the temple was laid, and a new link forged in the chain which for nearly a century has kept the torch of Masonic fraternalism burning brightly, and made Mount Zion Lodge an institution which has played a very vital role in the maintenance of spiritual values in an important and growing community. ® a Lg of the district. HAS NOTABLE HISTORY 'During the corherstone laying ceremony, Bro. Fred Browne said that Mount Zion Lodge No. 39 on the grand register of Canada has a grand and noble history. In 1852 it reteived its charter from the Grand Todge of England. The lodge did dot actually originate in Brooklin t rather Borelia, which was later lled Prince Albert, but in the year 1866 it was moved to Brooklin. Dur- ipg this time, almost a century, thany great men have passed rough its portals. He said that he ined the lodge in November, 1892, and hoped to be spared to celebrate Bis diamond jubilee next year. * There was a moment of tense silence as the veteran Mason in the game of the Most Worshipful the Grand Iodge of Canada, in the grovince of Ontario, formally plac- the stone bearing the name of e lodge and date of ceremony in lace. BODGE AND ITS SYMBOLS ; The beauty and purpose of the few building now well under way, was well set forth by R. Wor. Bro. A. J.

Grand Jury Finds County Jail Efficiently Operated Recommendations on the improv- ing of certain Ontario' County prop- erty are contained in the report of the grand jury submitted on Wed- nesday to Mr, Justice W. F. Spence at Whitby. It read as follows: : We beg to submit two true bills and one no bill, which were present- ed to us for consideration. In accordance with your instruc- tions we have visited the Covniy Jail and Court House, the Registry Office and have the honor to re- port as follows: | (1) In connection with the Coun- ty Jail, we wish to report that the building is old and crowded, but we are of the opinion that the Warden and his staff are doing an excel- lent job under prevailing conditions. The entire building was very clean. We would recommend, however, that it would be advisable to replace the stone construction between the cells, and steel be used in its place. By so doing, more space would be given to the occupants of such cells and also increase if necessary the accom- modation of the additional prison- ers. (2) The Court House appears to be satisfactory, but we would sug- gest that the stone work immedi- ately above the main entrance door should receive some consideration. In our opinion it needs repairing. (3) We inspected the Registry Of- fice and in view of the fact that their business has tripled in the past 10 years without additional space being added, we find that the building is not adequate to meet their present requirements. Some consideration should be given im- mediately to the advisability of en- larging the present quarters. (4) We did not inspect the Coun- ty Home, in view of the fact that a new building is under construc- tion and we understand it will be occupied in the near future. In submitting this report we wish to thank your Lordship, the Crown Counsel and other officials who have assisted us. y Girls to Play Boys Reversed Batteries The Pickering Cubs, juvenile boys' softball team, are in for it again. They are going to have an- other ball game with the girls to-night at eight o'clock at Picker- ing Park. This time they will be facing tougher opposition than last, as they try their mettle a- gainst the Lakeside League Jynior All Stars. And the same might be said for the gir' as the Pickering team is in better shape than last time out. They are just fresh from the Ontario play-offs for one thing, and then they know what to expect now when facing a girls' team. The batteries are reversed for this match, of course," to make things more even all round, to have each team facing the type of pitching to which they are accus- tomed. Two of the boys, though, have to face the girl pitcher, These two are the pitcher and catcher. In the game between the Cubs and Whitby Torches these two fellows managed only two hits between them in ten tries. They suffered four strike-outs between them as well. One of them was heard to say, during the game, "I'd better bast. it this time -- I'll never live it down if I can't get a hit off a girl." A 4 Results of the sale were: A Stanley | Wm.

Whitby, which has obtained at least some of the new texts authorized for free dis- tribution this year, i~ in much bet- ter position in this respect than Oshawa and many other parts of the Inspectorate, Mr. Fairman said. In response to other questions, Mr. Fairman qualified his state- ment to the extent that some children may have voluntarily purchased used texts from other pupils and that he has advised them not to pay over half price, for such books. The Board pointed out that it authorized the principal to order certain texts for use this year, but at the discretion of the Tedcher's Advisory Committee. However, this committee decided that the pres- ent published texts, although they have been approved by the Depart- ment of Education, are not as good as others which will be forthcom- ing later, and so the purchase was delayed on that account. This situation is making it necessary for the teachers to put a lot of the work on the ,blackboards. The subject was discussed be- cause Board members had received many inquiries from parents. Principal Fairman also informed the Board that, acting on approval of the Chairman, he has lowered the age limit for admittance to the Kindergarten class to include those who were five years of age Sep- tember 1. This information was spread by word of mouth only and | registration was consequently bol- stered by six or seven, The reason for the change in policy was that instead the 42 pupils anticipated in this c¥ss, apparently many par- ents felt their children were not old enough to come a long distance to King Street School where the class is held, and only 28 came to the class on the first day. There- fore it was felt that larger class could well be handled and the age limit was lowered for this reason. All-Stars Challenge 'Wi.dcats' The Lakeside League Junior Girls' All Stars are throwing out a challenge to CKLB Wildcats, the Intermediate "A" Champions of the League, to a Series of post~ season exhibition games. That's right, the juniors are raring for a try at the intermediate champs. The Junior All Stars have no reason to fear the Wildcats as they have an extremely good line- up to throw into action, and any coach inthe League would love to have even half as good reserve power to throw in if necessary. The Stars are managed by Doug Tri- vett of Oshawa, and coached by Moe Walsh of Ajax. The players come from Oshawa's Junior Wildcats, Hardies, Duplates, and Ajax Cedar Aces, and Whitby Torches. Some of these played intermediate ball this season, but every one of them is in the junior age bracket, and all but two are eligible for junior next year if they wish. The Juniors suggest floodlight games in Whitby, Ajax, and Pick- ering, and at least one game in Oshawa at any suitable time. They would also like to see the proceeds g0 to the new Junior Girls' Sports Fund, but if CKLB are agreeable to the series and have the profits go to some other worthy cause, that would be quite satisfactory. The main thing is that the Junjor All Stars would like as many people in the district as possible to see this smart team in action, and to prepare the fans for a big sur- prise coming next year in junior girls' softball, when at least six teams will go into action on a broad front in a strong junior league.
