' WHITBY And DISTRICT OBJECTOR CHANGES MIND 'Masonic Rezoning Application Granted One of the chief objectors to the erection of Composite Lodge AF and AM's new Masonic Temple, Monday morning had a change of heart at an Ontario Municipal Board hearing here. Mrs. Mildred Bilida, 211 Coch- rane street, whose name appear- ed first on a 16-name petition to Town Council, objecting to a Composite Lodge application for rezoning to permit the temple's erection, said Monday she did not object, now that she under- stood the building's purpose. Municipal Board representa- tives William Greenwood and. A. L. McCrae granted Compo- site Company's (a corporation formed of Composite Lodge members) application for re- zoning of an 80 by 200 foot land parcel to permit the erection of the proposed Temple. Composite Company president! and a member of the Masonic Order since 1926 told the hearing the proposed structure would be used for a Masonic Temple.

The chairman of the Whitby | Ministerial Association, Rev.

Retired United Church Minis- ter Rev, Hugh Crozier appeared before council and said that the liquor traffic was costing the Province billions of dollars, He told council that liquor was, "a mighty influence for the bad."

Dunlops at this late stage cannot afford a loss. This definitely puts the "must'" emphasis on this evening's attraction, which should draw a full house. The two clubs presently standing in the way of Dun- lops Brampton Seven-Ups and Oshawa Generals each have five games remaining in their schedule. Oshawa Generals went through their three games in hand on Brampton over the weekend with losses to Whitby Dunlops, Knob Hill Farms and Neil McNeil Maroons. Generals have two games left with Brampton and if one club is guccessful with a clean sweep and Dunlops drop one of their remaining four games the odds are a trifle high against Whitby securing the fourth and final playoff position. This is just another reason for Duniops to be in high gear for tonight's affair. : Despite the one-sided 11-4 outcome against Neil Mc- derstand the use of the Temple jand after hearing it defined, she had no objection.

Recent press reports are indicative of the rising tide of alcoholism and al- coholics within the boundaries of our province and it is safe to assume that we as a town are not exempt from our share of this inevitable aftermath of easy access to alcoholic beverages. "3, We are further persuaded that in the light of the findings of many welfare investigators that there is a continuing break- down in the home life of our nation and not a little of it can be attributed to the increasing tide of liquor. We are, to say the least, ill-advised to condone, much less encourage, the easy access to, and consumption of, alcoholic beverages. "4.It is our considered opinion, that. the expense in- volved in conducting a plebis- cite is entirely unjustified, in view of the fact that there never has been neither petition nor demand by the people of Whitby.

Whitby Dunlops produced some sparkling hockey especial- ly in the latter stages of the second period and for nearly one-half of the final frame until Maroons once more re- gained command. Excellent playmaking and strong skating was Dun- lops forte during their brief reign on Sunday and 60 min- utes of this type of hockey tonight should be sufficient for a Dunlop victory. Dunlops can take satisfaction from looking back for a minute or two on past meetings with Martboros and re- member three deadlocks one coming just :a little over a week ago right in the Gardens. So even though a victory hasn't been accomplished over Turk Broda's Baby Leafs to date it certainly is with- in Whitby's reach considering the importance of their clash at the local bow! tonight.
