MONDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1951 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE "PAGE FIVE' WHITBY NEWS Editorial Comment Outlook for the New Year Standing today at the portals of a new year, citizens of Whitby, we feel sure, may be confident as they advance into the unknown and untried paths of 1952, htat better times are ahead. Individually and collectively we can do much to bring about this realization. Much remains to be done to make Whitby an even better town to live in than it is today. As we pointed out some weeks ago, there was evidence aplenty of a renewed interest in municipal affairs. Despite some setbacks of the past year there was evidence of progress, and that is the greatest reassurance that can be given. We have long had hopes that mew industries would come to the town, and while some sites have been purchas- ed by large concerns who could make this a busy place if they once got started, no move was made in 1951. Mayor- elect Harry Jermyn has pledged himself to make every ef- fort for greater industrial progress, and President Robert G. Langford has expressed the view that the Chamber of Commerce can do more than it has done for many years along this line. With the Council and Chamber of Com- merce working hand in hand, we can hopefully greet the new year as one of great promise and perhaps concrete action. Our interest in the town must not, however, be con- fined to civic affairs which effect our pocketbook when the tax bills come around. We have church, lodge, service club, and other responsibilities, for these are vital sinews in the life blood, so to speak, of this community. So much could be accomplished for the common good of the town if as citizens we all measured up to our responsibilities and assumed our fair and rightful share of the load. If, also, we can remember in 1952 to be kind, tolerant, diligent in all things worth while, trying to understand and respect- _ ing the other fellow's viewpoint, and working in harmony and unitedly for those things that are most essential to us, 1952 will be a banner year for 'Whitby. The task of all of us is to be up and doing, for it is later than we think and we shall not pass this way again. We are greatly in need of a revival of things spiritual as well as material.

Marshall, was taken to Osh- awa General Hospital last Wednes- day with severe burns on the face and body. There is a possibility that his eyes may be injured. Marshall, along with Tom Ross, the care- taker of Brooklin High School, was doing some varnishing in the holi- days. They were heating a can of varnish on an electric plate when some spilled over and the can caught fire, It is believed Marshall attempted to carry the can out of doors and some spilled on him. Ross man- aged to get the fire out with an ex- tinguisher which was hanging nearby.

PARKINSON Correspondent Port Perry--Port Perry's entry in the Ontario Rural Hockey As- sociation for the present season got off to a fine start on their home ice here tonight as they downed they visiting Haliburton Huskies 8-2 in a rugged encounter efore some 200 fans in the Port erry Memorial Gardens. After dropping a close one to Keswick 3-2, in their opening league game, the Port Perry sextet took a 2-0 lead in the first five minutes against the Huskies as D. Mark opened the scoring after one min- ute and three seconds while Christie added another minutes later. VanCamp went to the cool- er for tripping but Haliburton failed to take advantage of their extra man advantage and the first period ended with Port Perry having a 2-0 lead. The home team completely took over in the second period as Cochrane and D. Mark tallied once and Robertson twice, while the visitors managed only one encounter, their first, by Austin. In the third stanza K. Mark and Drury tallied one each for Port Perry while Bishop got the vis- itors' second and final marker at the 15-minute mark, which closed the scoring for the contest. The last tally stirred up considerable excitement as it was scored after Bishop picked up a lose puck that came out of the scramble when Baker had crashed Port goalie G. Carnegie; the latter had come far out of his net to stop a break-a- way. Howie took objection to Bak- er's action and in the resulting flare-up Howie got a major pen- alty and Baker a minor for fight- The Port Perry Rurals seem to be a much more potent aggrega- tion of pucksters than last year's squad, having added Gord Car- negie (goalie), and two impressive forwards, Drury and Robertson. Albert Cawker has joined the non- active ranks so that he can' de- vote his full job to coaching. Port's next home game will be on Wednesday, January 4, with Wood- ville being the visitors.

Address On Labrador At N. Oshawa ALMA FARROW Correspondent North Oshawa -- The waning of the old year was oberved last night at North Oshawa Church, when the CGIT and Explorers participated with the senior and junior Wo- man's Associations and affiliated WMS in a candle lighting ceremony. The service was conducted by Ste- phen Saywell and the choir was composed of the CGIT and Explor- ers with their leader, Miss Marjorie Rundle. For the first candle light- ing ceremony, five of these girls joined Miss Rundle and each lighted a candle after Miss Rundle read se- lections from scripture or Christian writings. The. second ceremony was led by Mrs. S. C. Rundle who read the beautiful Christmas worship service from the WMS magazine, The Missionary Monthly. She was as- sisted by Mrs. E, Hurvid, Mrs. W. King, Mrs. P. Taylor, Mrs, E. Moore and Mrs. Gordon Lane, each of whom lit a candle of goodwill and friendship respectively for the peo- ple of Canada who are of the Jew- ish race, the French Canadians, the Indians, the Europeans, Africans and Asians, and the newcomers who were displaced persons. Mrs. F. Crawford lit a candle for Christian Love, Carols by the choir were in- terspersed through this ceremony. ADDRESS ON LABRADOR Mr. Saywell introduced the guest speaker, Miss Muriel Gifford, R.N., a graduate of Oshawa General Hos- pital, who spent a year with the Grenfell mission hospital at Har- rington Harbor, Labrador. It, had been announced that Miss Gifford's work was among the Es- kimos, but she corrected the erron- eous idea, saying that while Eski- mos are treated at Grenfell mis- sions, these are farther north and she had been very disappointed at not even seeing one Eskimo. Her work was among Anglo-Saxon, In- dian and French people with the first mentioned composing eighty per cent of the.population. SIR WILFRED GRENFELL Sir Wilfred Grenfell was the first resident doctor in the Labrador Newfoundland area and was there for 43 years before his death in 1940. The present Grenfell Association, which he started, has benefactors in Britain, United States and Canada. This association and the govern- ment grant supports the several nursing homes and the main hospi- tal at St. Anthony, Newfoundland, as well as the smaller hospitals at Harrington Harbor. At St. Anthony, the 80-bed hospi- tal provides the facilities for most of the surgery done within a radius of several hundred miles, and nine- ty per cent of the people at St. An- thony depend on the hospital for employment, Miss Gifford told of her arrival at Harrington Harbor, a group of barren islands, and of being greeted by the "Labrador Choir," the howl- ing of the dogs. . POOR LIVING CONDITIONS Speaking of living conditions, she told of the utter lack of soil. Earth for cemeteries has to be hauled from the mainland as does any soil for gardens whieh are few and very poor. The main cu ation of the men is fishing. Since this has become increasingly meagre, the people are in very poor circumstances 'with 75 per cent of them being on relief the year round. Seal hunting is a great sport which is very remunerative, The educational system is very poor because no adequate teachers will come for the salaries given. The homes are clapboard with tar paper inside which is papered with magazines. Few have proper paper 31g plaster is practically unheard of. MANY T.B. PATIENTS The 20-bed hospital at Harring- ton Harbor is very modern with most of the patients suffering from T.B.,, the curse of the coast. This Lcondition is due to the diet, fish, flour and tea. Fresh vegetables are never .available and most of the children have never seen a cow. The Grenfell missions have in- stituted handicrafts which are taught to patients. Many women have learned these arts and use them to help augment the family income. Their hooking, examples of which were shown last night, is famous for its beauty and regularity of work. Speaking of the people, Miss Gif- ford called them "wonderful." They have "hospitality plus." Mr. Saywell gave his New Year wish and blessing to the congrega- tion. A firesite social was enjoyed after the service. Mrs. R. Heaslip received a long distance call on Friday, from her son, F.L, Bob Heaslip, of Port Ar- thur, to tell her of the birth of his son, a brother for Robbie. Bob Heaslip is well known in Oshawa, having worked at The Times-Gaz- ette for some years. Burns Church (Continued from Page 1) mence at 10 o'clock and will in- clude instrumental and vocal num- bers, prayer and praise, hearty congregational singing and a New year's message from the pastor.

Assessment » (Continued from Page 3) ed at the close of the Rolls or new business®that commenced dur- ing the year. The total amount of assessment added under 'this sec- tion and upon which the City col- lected either a full year's taxes or a portion of a year amounted to $2,593,745.00. This represents an in- crease of $2,086,235.00 over the amount added in 1950. This in- crease is largely due to the In- dustrial expansion in the past year. ANALYSIS OF DWELLINGS According to information being compiled at the present time there is a total of 9,457 dwellings in the City as of Sept. 30, 1951. Of this number 7,830 are owner occupied, 1,253 occupied by tenants, 89 va- cant and 285 unfinished. Including Apartment houses. - Apartments over stores and flats there is a ioal of 11,913 dwelling units assess- ed. Regarding the sale of City own- ed Lots this Department has sold lots to the amount of $34,654.74 dur- ing the year 1951. I wish at this time to thank your Worship, Members of Council, and the various Officials and Members of the City Staff for their co-opera- tion during the past year. Building (Continued from Page 1) $3,008,989. Mounting steadily the 1950 mark was $3,346,004. Material shortages, particularly of cement and wall board, have been' evident.
