Mr. Wallace, in spite of his advan ed age, is hale and hearty and po: sesses a memory which might put many a younger man to shame, His boyhood days were spent i Whitby, in later life he went west and then in 1916 returned to the town of his birth, The incorporation of Whitby as a town, as Mr, Wallace recalls, was attendant upon the creation of On- tario county and the subsequent choice of Whithy as the county seat. The court house, jail and registry office were located herp that year and the laying of the cor- ner stone of the court house was kd ceremony which gave cause for gens eral rejoicing and celebration. As a lad of eight years, Mr. alan attended this function and wa muchimpressed with what he saw pnd beard.

Eminent eiti- zens, . county officials, members of the Legislative Assembly and oth- ers were included among the guests and the day was devoted to flow- ery speeches and long orations. The contractor for the court house Was Mr. Wallace's father, the late Col. James Wallace, one of the pioneer residents of the community. More Rejoicing That same year the town people had another occasion for celebrat- ing when word was received from the Crimea that Sebastopol had-fal- of Her Majesty, Queen Victoria, the citizens organized torch light par- ades and had a gigantic fireworke display. The Atlantic Cable had not yet been laid and news travell- ed slowly but some time later it was learned that the report was false. Three months elapsed and a re- port, confirmed this time by the proper authorities, told of the wul- timate downfall of the beseiged Russian fort. Nothing daunted the people of Whitby organized a sec- ond celebration and the town was again treated to a display of fire- works. Mr. Wallace remembers with delight that the small boys of the community were highly pleased with the whole affair, Fund of Information Seventy-five years have elapsed from that time to this and Whitby is now in its diamond jubilee year.

F, HOWARD ANNES STRESSES OFFER OF FREE SITES SHOWS OPPORTUNITIES BEING PRESENTED IN WHITBY Says It Would Be Disastrous For Farmers To Separate From Town Whitby, May 23.--In an inter- view this morning with F, Howard Annes further information in re- gard to the advertising of the town residential and industrial advant- ages was secured by The Times. Mr. Annes was enabled to make the arrangement with the Ruddy Company for the free service to the municipality that other places are paying ag high as $200 a year for because of the property, at the corner of Dundas and -Heury streets, being one of the most valuable on the Kingston Road for display publiciiy. It is prob- able, too, that the signs will be lighted so as to increase their use- fulness. In presenting his offer to the town council Mr. Annes stress- ed the benefits that should come from attracting the attention of manufacturers passing along the highway, the' traffic as a whole being estimated for the pPesent season to aggregate upwards of two million. This appeal for in- dustrial expansion iz based on the free sites which Mr. Annes and others are offering for this pur- pose, While Mr. Annes' properties are on either the Canadian Nation- al or Canadian Pacific main lines, 'his success in persuading F, IL. Beecroft who has a farm intersec- ted by both the railway systems in the north-east section of the town to offer a free site was the main argument for this move since large modern {industries deniard locations. where direct spurs to both systems are possible at reas- onable cost. Mr. Beecroft's lands comprise three of the four quar- ters at this insection. All the utili- ties of a city are available so tant this offer of a free site is a worth while one. At the harbor the fown owns properties that afford both rail service by the Canadian Natloual as well access to the docks for navigation facilities, Mr. Annes, too, has a site of similar character that he includes in his offer. The Farm Question One of the farm owners, Mr. Annes's views as to the embroglio between the town and the farm land owners was requested by the Times. This very question of the industrial expansion of the town is, in his opinion, one of the most $44 per ft. buys lot 48 x 200 on King St. E., near Young $27 per ft. buys a lot on Athol St. E., near Young St. J.H.R.
