TOWN PLANNING ADVANCED Town Planning Board had ex- pected that the council this year would finalize the zoning bylaws of the Town of Whitby presented to them in May, 1952, but this was not done, and it will be a major issue in 1954, as the town con- tinues to progress. The Board spent long hours dealing with the lay- ing out of new sub-divisions, co- gperating with the Board of Edu- cation' in connection with new school sites; and are at present making a study of east and west, north and south traffic lanes. HEALTHY YEAR FOR TOWN During the year the Board of Health was not called upon to deal | with any emerged situation with respect to the public health. There were no epidemics, although out- breaks of contagious diseases were encountered and quickly and ef- ficiently dealt with by the M.O.H, | and those in association with him. | | The Board in September was call- ed into special session to consider the question of nursing services for the schools which the VON has {looked after for many years. This matter is still under consideration. | {IMPROVE PUBLIC LIBRARY | Vv » i - | : valuable aud _ereditable Whitby Major decision taken during the Baseball Association deserves a Yar by the Public Library Board good portion of the credit for the | Was that in the near future the project in which it took a practical facilities of the library be enlarg-| and tangible interesyright from |8d: One proposal being to utilize the start, with the objdct of giv- | the large rooms downstairs for a| ing to the town a large' and more | Children's department.

Next summer, with a longer season, the pool is expect- ed not only to more than pay its way, but prove to be a very valu- | able community asset. CORONATION PARK The development of Coronation Park in part of the Hillcrest Pub- lic School grounds was another outstanding tommunity enterprise of the year. Although it was not possible to get the park open this year, much work, as reported in the Times-Gazette from time to time, was done, and it should be open in the early summer of 1954. This project was financed by pub- iic subscription and not a few in- terested citizens have donated time, talent and labor to it, a very Plastering, Stuccoing | pianist. | wearin, {ing lighted candles, man with Mrs. Grace Hastings as The Juniors and Peter Rothwell | welcomed the audience.

Sixteen members of the schoel, choir gowns and carry- entered the darkened church singing as 'they | came. Douglas MacCannell was the reader and the choir sang many familiar carols. 'In Excelsis Deo' was sung as a three part harmony, and three of the senior girls sang the descant for two of the carols. The programme ended with a short farewell by the Juniors and Betty | Munro.
