Wilson, Chairman of the Board of Educaticn, presided, and the gymnasium hall, decorated with school colours, was packed to the doors. In a brief address, the chairman said that the Whitby High School with its efficient teaching staff and fine equipment, was one of the best to be found anywhere. Fine work was being done in all classes, he said. On the platform with him were members of the Board of Educa- tion, Town Councii, and those pre- senting the various prizes. almost as many points as the other are: -- by William Harden. ship-- Won by David Watts. by Marjorie Gane nam, P.

Stretches of retread were laid during the summer in East and West Whitby, Reach, Scugog, Brock, and Thorah, The total mileage of retread built in 1940 on county roads was 4.5 miles or 52,882 square yards at an average cost for square yard of 37.15¢. Another interesting expenditure revealed by Mr. Keen to the Gazette and Chronicle was an item of $13,- 850.07 for the maintenance of roads during the winter of '39 and '40. In other words this amount was spent in keeping roads open in the county during the winter. TOMMIES WELCOME Thorshayn, Faroe Islands, Nov. 27--(CP)--There's a new slogan in these British-occupied islands sit- uated between the Shetlands and Iceland. It's "Take a Tommy Home to Tea" and represents one effort to entertain British troops who came to Danish-owned isles after Germany over-ran Denmark. The Tommies are weicome every- where. They get on particularly well with the youngest generation. In various homes here four or six Brie tish soldiers are invited to spend a couple of hours once 4 week. The visits are quite Informal and the men can do what they like--talk. play games or drink coffe« Nobody here worries anout a meat ration. Since April, nearly 4,000 whales have been caught and that means the islanders are provided with about 4,000 tons of meat and blubber. Whale meat .s the usual | national food. By a svsiem dating | back for 1,000 years, the meat and blubber are shared among the thousand of homes in the islands. The annual Masonic service of Composite Lodge AF. & AM, G.R.C., No. 30, Whitby, held on Sunday morning in the United Church, brought together members of the Order from Whitby, Picker- ing, Orono, and other places. The service was conducted by Rev. Clif- ford G. Park, minister of the church, assisted by Bre. Rev. A. R Sanderson, chaplain of Composite Lodge, who read the first scripture lesson and brought felicitations from the lodge to the minister and congregation. The fraternal visi- tors occupied reserved seats at the front of the church. The special music included an anthem, "Rock of Ages," by the choir, and a solo "Open the Gates of the Temple," by Bro. Ed. Bowman. Appropriate organ music was also rendered by Mrs. Vernon Rowe, organist and choir director. There was a large congregation. A clagdonge to men and women | to cultivate the great and ultimate goals of life--the Trinity of ends-- happiness, character and achieve- ment, was contained in the message of the minister, preaching on the topic. "The Edge of Cultivation." Basing his remarks on text, Genesis 12-9, "And Abraham journeyed, go- ing on still" Rev. Mr. Park, pointed out that many people today were con- tent to rest orn past achievements both in the material and spiritual world, who with enthusiasm had gone so far and stopped growing-- willing to remain in Haran, from which place 'Abraham had left to "journey on still," making for him- self an honored place in the great army of early pioneers and adven- turers. God needed men and wom- was one of the greatest and most important fields of human en- deavor. It was unfortunate, how- ever, that so many were willing only to go so far, and stop--failing to reach the true and inescapable goal of life. No life was worth while un- less it produced something worth while for mankind. Speaking from intimate knowl- edge, the minister praised the Masonic order for its practical in- terpretation and application of Christian principles in its ministry to the poor and needy, the sick and those in distress within its ranks. The Order, he said, was a great Christian organization = bringing comfort and healing to men's bodies, minds and souls. He warned, how- ever, against resting on past achievements and failure to reach out beyond the confines of its own traternal jurisdiction to help others who were in need. Masonry too, he sald, must push out beyond the edge of cultivation, it must continue to journey on still, enlarging limits of its habitations, and seek- en more to-day than at any other | ing to accomplish more and more. time to push back the edge of cul- tivation--to reach out for greater In closing, Rev. Mr. Park enlarged | on the need for achievement, char- snd more important tasks of life, | acter and happiness in the realiza- | Rev. Mr, Park said.

David Marshall, minister of St. Andrew's Presby- terian Church, returned last weszk, after fulfilling a special mission for the Presbytery of Toronto. In addition to conducting the services for two Sundays in the fine Presbyterian Church there, the minister of which has enlisted as a chaplain, Rev. Mr. Marshall gave several lecturss in church and school, and visited many of the substantial builcings in the miring city of 30,000. He also had the opportunity to visit one or two of the mines. , Land values in Kirkland Lake, Rev. Mr. Marshall found, are very high. The land on which the Pres= byterian church stands, he said, cost five thousand dollars, and was the gift of a generous and | thoughtful mining man. And yet, the schools all have ex- tensive grounds, he found, and fine narks are in thie making As he travelled up ths government rail- | way from Morth Ray, Mr. Marshal! was surprised at and impressed | with northern development.
