BASIL CRADDOCK All Welcome "aving in mind. the recent power shortage in the holiday season which were not controllable by the Commission, will very probably come up early in the year, and, it is understood, some concrete pro- nosals mav be made which, if enacted, will be effective at not too great a cost. The question of a chlorination plant to eliminate odors at the lake was proposed last year and may be brought up again, There will be usual demands for water and lights services in keeping with the growth of the town, and | the question of the intake pipe ex- | tension which was much to the fore last year, may also come up. | The Commission's financial struc- ture has improved somewhat in the past two years, and this is encour- aging. THE SCHOOL BOARDS The question of a new high school may come before the Whitby and District High School Board again this year, but while a fine new site was purchased last year, it is'con- sidered unlikely that any move to erect a new building will be made this year. The present building, it is admitted, is somewhat inade- quate, but the Board is bound to consider this and other angles, par- ticularly the matter of financing the new structure, before any defi- nite action is taken. For the Public School Board one of the vital problems, left over from 1951, will be the need for more classroom accommodation. A site for a new school in the north ward has been purchased from the coun- ty so that if a new building is de- cided uoon work can start as soon as possible. It would mean a size- able debenture issue. The new Hill- crest School, which not a few thought would not be filled for | years to come when it was built, is | now crowded and then some. | PI *N* NG BOARD | Tune zoning bylaw, on tap for! some time, would appear to be the main problem for 1952 of the Town MISS HAZEL ROBERTSON, R.N. It's eyes skyward for Hazel Rob- ertson, R.N, sister of Mrs. H. F. Meier, 204 Dunlop Street East, Whitby, Ontario. She will report at Miami, Florida, on January 2, 19§2, for an immediate flight assigh- ment with Eastern Air Lines. Hazel is a graduate of Ward School of Airline Training, Worcester, Mas- sachusetts, where she completed the Stewardess-Hostess course on December 14. Arthur P. Ward, Di- rector of the school has announced that Miss Robertson was one of twenty-six members of her class selected by Eastern during inter- views conducted by major airlines at the school. All will begin. flying in January. Prior to entering the Ward School of Airline Training, Miss Robertson was a general duty nurse at the Toronto General Hos- pital. Chas.

Of the social ammes to welcome 1952 little has been heard, but it is understood that the "sorry, sold out" signs have been up for some time in places where dances are planned. Not a few citizens have accepted invitations to celebrate in outside places. Watchnight services will be held in the Baptist Church, the Salva- tion Army and St. John's Church at Port Whitby.
