C. * Adams -- Will Ask For Subscriptions and Form Company ,A committee was formed at Thursday night's meeting of the ex- ecutive of the Whitby Chamber of 'Gommerce to report on the forming of a company to build factories in Whitby, as suggested last week by R.

At the same meeting it was de- cided to hold the annual meeting on Thursday, September 26, for the election of the executive for the 'coming year. Considerable Merit To Idea 'Discussion at Thursday's meeting covered the questions of what types 'of factories are required and where the suitable sites are located. In opening the discussion Mr. David- son: said, "At our banquet Mr. Adams sponsored the idea of rais- ing funds to build factories in Whit- by in -order to attract other in- dustries to the town. I think his idea has considerable merit and suggest the advisability of appointing a committee to act on the matter and .to secure subscriptions for the pro- ect." J He explained that since Mr, Adams' $500 cheque had been re- ceived he had had other unsolicited offers of a substantial amount, and thought that enough for the build- ing of a factory could be obtained .in the town, It is not the intention of the com- mittee to canvass for money, but 'yather to contact as many people in the town as possible, and explain the idea to them, obtain from them omises of subscriptions, to be pald when the company is formed. As goon as sufficient money is promised ja meeting of all those interested twill be called and officers will be "elected to proceed with the incor- Jontion of the company.

One of the larger pieces struck him in the face, cutting is so severely that it required seven or eight stitches to close the wound on his nose. Next morning Mr, Pearse, who Is a veteran of this war, called at the hospital at Ajax to have the in- jury checked, and it was found that the muscles of the eye had been cut. He was rushed to Toronto and Dr. McCrae, eye specialist, operated at once. The doctor told Mr. H. M. Hink- son, father-in-law of the injured man, that it would be a week or more before it would be known whether or not the eyesight would be affected.

Elliott has completed his tour of the schools delivering talks on pic fly to the children. The Chief has followed this practice for many years, and the absence of accidents indicates that the talks are worth while, The children, some for the first time, hear the cardinal rules for safe practice in crossing roads, and receive - instructions on proper be- havior on their way to and from, school. As Chief Elliott's suggestion we are listing the rules below. STOP, before you cross any street. LOOK, first to the right and then to the left before stepping off the sidewalk, LISTEN, for signals from motorists, |" and sounds of approaching cars. DoT cross against the signal DON'T walk between parked cars. DON'T walk too soon behind a car that has passed, there may be one coming from the other direction which you can't see, DON'T ride two on a bike. DON'T chase each other, someone may step off the sidewalk in front of a car. DO watch out for smaller children, and set them a good example by your own safe behavior. DO stand your bike up, older poo ple may trip and injure tMemselves. DO cross at intersections only. That is where motorists are particularly on the look-out for you. Church Brevities Baptist Church At the Baptist Church on Sunday morning the minister will take for his subject the cure that Christian- ity provides for a pessimistic and discouraged constitution, "A Cure for the Blues" i§ the title of the sermon in which the minister will present the argument for a confident and cheerful Christianity, The evening service will feature the singing of the Gormley Quartet, These young men who are in great demand among the churches, have a distinct and definite appeal in their message of song, they will sing one or two new numbers as| well as any old or familiar pieces that may be requested. The service of song with coloured hymns that proved so Fopular last spring has 'been started again and hymns will be shown upon the screen Sunday evening. The minister will preach and his subject will be "Should we do wrong that right may come?" This is a question that can apply to a great area of our economic and social life today, Even in the church we are too often tempted to say that the end justifies the means, Friends are advised to come early as the service of song will commence shortly be- fore seven, Sport Caleridar Monday, September 16, 6.00 Pe at the Town Park--Whithy Legion versus Old Boys, (provided that no baseball game is scheduled for the same night).

Viola Powell, of Dundas Street West, was pleasantly surprised this week when she received a letter from the Greek Ambassador to Canada congratulat- ing her on the excellence of her book. . h The letter, from the Royal Greek Embassy in Ottawa, reads: Dear Miss Powell, I am in receipt 'of your auto- graphed book "Forty Years Agrow« ing" and wish to thank you warmly for this excellent book. It is most gratifying to note the success which has met your efforts. With heartiest congratulations for the splendid work done by the Wo- men's Institutes and best wishes for its future development I remain, Sincerely Yours, C. M. Sakellaropoulo, Ambassador of Greece, Miss Powell has no explanation as to how the book arrived in the hands of the Greek Ambassador, but says that It has been widely circulated am branches of the Women's Institute as well as find. ing a place in most of the large libraries in Candda and United States. She wrote the book on her retire- ment, in 194), from the position of assistant supervisor of Ontario's Women's Institutes, and in it des- cribes the growth of the movement since its founding almost fifty years ago. For ten years Miss Powell oc- cupied that position and before that she was a staff worker and lecturer for the provincial organization. She, claims that she has lectured in every village in Ontario at one time or. another, spreading information that - will prove valuable in the homes and communities. Since retiring Miss Powell has been living with her sister in Whit- by, and just recently they moved 506 to 504 Dundas Street West, as their former home is to be made into apartments. EXPECT HAVE HORE © DREDGING DONE Town Dump Taking On b . New Appearance As Filled In from the marsh at the harbor these days is a piece of land which will in the future be an at- tractive site for industries or for any other purpose, It is being made by the sand and clay poured forth by the sandsucker dredge's pipe- line, and 'already most of the area known as the town dump has been filled in and is dry enough to suf- | POR a tractor. In addition the harbor is 'being dredged so that oil and coal boats will be able to enter in future with- out the possibility of running aground, as has happened on some occasions recently. At Thursday's meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, President William Davidson reported that an 724 | EDgineer from the Department of Public Works had been to the har- bor to take soundings of the depth of the water. This was done after a report was received from: B. Lau- who is superintending the dredging, that the depth in some places did not exceed 12 feet, al- , | though it is supposed to be 14 feet right to the dock. More Dredging Probable Mr. Davidson oh 5 that he had not heard definitely whether an- other contract for additional dredg- ing had heen made yet and added, "I feel sure that if thére is only 12 feet of water there we will get Abcve is the naval architect's drawing of the 5000-ton steamship which will be built for the Pacific Coast and Alaska service of the Canadian National Pacific Coast Steamships by the Burrard Dry Dock Co. Ltd, of Vancouver. The ship, the largest passenger vessel ever 'to be built on the Pacific Coast, will cost about $3,000,000 and should enter service in 1948. Plans of McLaren and Son, consulting engineers and naval architects, call for a vessel with an over-all length of 350 feet, a breadth of 52 feet, a displacement tonnage of 5,000 tons and 'a speed of 18 knots. The ship will have accommodation for 322 passengers, all in outside cabins, and 50,000 cubic feet of cargo space, of which 5000 will be refrigerated. Besides giving important passenger and cargo service, all year round to Vancouver, Powell River, Ocean Falls and Prince Rupert, the steamship will provide Alaska cruises for thousands of summer tourists. The crew will consist o* 20 officers and 112 men, further dredging this fall, possibly another 10,000 cubic yards, which would fill in a considerable amount of marsh land." The present con- tract is expected to be completed by week's end, as the dredge has been operating 24 hours a day. Little or no damage has been caused by flooding so far, as the pipeline has been shifted as soon as an area has been filled, When the land is dry the grader will be used to smooth is off, and when that is finished the land will be very different from what it was be- fore the filling started.
