IDEA OF PEACE 1S SUBJECT ~ AT ROTARY A quiet but inspiring on 2 Hit Busses Fined $10 Two accidents in which buses were involved resulted in charges of careless driving in Whitby Police Court yesterday when Harold Welsh of Oshawa and E., C. Rowland of Ajax were fined $10 and costs and their licenses suspended. Peace was given the Whitby Rotar- ians yesterday by Rev. Charles Mal. colm, pastor of Whitby United Church, when he described for them the idea of peace as shown in the Bible. Mr. Malcolm was introduced by Howard Goode and said that his talk was a delayed Remembrance Day thought. "The idea of peace is not new but old, as old as God. But the idea of war is only as old as the selfishness of man", He traced its development in the Bible right from the earliest selfish- ness, that of Cain who slew Abel, and described Abel as the first man to give his life for peace. Always Two Factions Outlining the wanderings of the Hebrews during their forty years in the wilderness he said that there - were always two factions among the . , the men of war and the men of peace. When the war party was in contro] there was a brief brilliance and then depression, while the peace party led the He- brews steadily on in progress. Jesus, he said, fell heir to all the ideas of peace which had come down through the ages from the prophets, "He knew that the way is the way of sacrifice, and to save Judas He gave himself up and thus saved the world." "When the men went overseas and gave themselves in the first war, those who came back brought with them a flaming cross of peace, We polished it and then forgot it-- and another war came. I wonder if we have yet got in our own minds the right idea of peace?" he con- cluded. He was thanked for his refreshing words by Alex. Bell. Plans were made at the dinner for the December 2 concert by the Motor City Choir, to be given in the United Church, and Reginald Geen, a guest yesterday and also director of the choir, gave the Rotarians an idea of the program, even going so far as to indicate a few of the me- lodies for them so that they would be able to talk with confidence about the program when they set out to sel] the tickets for the even- ing, START NEW HOSPITAL McGinnis and O'Connor, con- tractors of Kingston, have been awarded a sub-contract for exca- vation work in connection with the new mental hospital which is to be built in the Smiths Falls dis- trict. Anglin-Norcross Limited, Toronto, general contractors, have started the large construction job. Welsh, who had served six years in the army and seen service in Sicily and Italy, pleaded guilty to the charge, admitting that he had fun into a Gray Coach Lines bus at Liverpool on Saturday night, No- vember 9. 'Wm. Madsen, Toronto, the bus driver, stated that he had seen two westbound vehicles approaching in line and that just ten feet from his car that driven by Welsh had swerved out to pass a truck driven by George Paddock and crashed in- to the left side of the bus forcing it off onto the shoulder of the road. Chief Jack Irvine identified the driver. Rowland, 19, pleaded guilty to driving into the rear of a bus which had stopped to discharge passen- gers on the Dundas Highway at Pickering on November 8. The driv- ing licenses and owners' permits were automatically forfeited by the conviction for careless driving. "High" Runners Test Endurance On Cross Country By DAVE HAIRE Gerald Bracey and Grant Town- send were the winners in the sen- for and junior cross-country Haero races held yesterday afternoon by students from the High School. The seniors ran a three mile course and the juniors 1% miles, with very little competition in either group as the students didn't care to tackle the long distances, par- | ticularly the three miles, | Time for this distance was 18 | minutes, 21 seconds, and Dave Haire captured second place a con- siderable distance behind the win- ner," with Tom Gledhill earning third spot. The junior finish was very close with Grant Townsend e¢ in inches ahead of Norman Levine, followed by Willlam Rowley, The time for the 1% miles was 7 min- utes and 30 seconds. The races were run.on a marked course throughout Whitby and the times for both events were good, considering conditions. It is expec- ted that this is the first of the Haero races, to be run each year. For some it was a hard race and the competitors deserve credit for their endurance.

McMahon's Recreation Review "Every analysis of the cause of delinquency and crime bears testimony to the significance of leisure-time activities."--Arthur L. Swift, - WINTER PROGRAM In spite of the balmy weather we have been enjoying, a load of Christmas trees going down Dun- das Street reminds us rather. forc- ibly that winter is not far off, and in addition to putting anti-freeze in the family buggy and ordering the winter supply of coal, it might be well to pause and consider what if any preparation you have for your leisure-time winter activities. The hockey situation is well in hand with the Whitby. Minor Ath- letic Association making plans to look after Peewee, Bantam, Midget, Juvenile and Junior hockey aspir- ants and the Canadian Legion sponsoring an Intermediate team. The respective age limits for the first five divisions mentioned are, under 12, 14, 16, 18, and 20 as of November 1. And speaking of hockey we would like to commend Police Chief Bill Elliott, Harold Boys and their many associates for' the interests they have taken and the work they have done in providing an opportunity for every youngster in town to play on an organized team. The Badminton Club is enjoying a successful season although they have room for a few additional players and would welcome either beginners or seasoned players. They meet Monday and Wednesday nights at 8 pm. in the High School gymnasium. The Whitby Modern Players un- der the capable direction of Mrs. Ralph Wilson are hard at work on a comedy which they hope to pre- sent in the mear future. They have even more ambitious plans for a later production and will shortly be looking for additional talent. Ragnar Steen is patiently coach- ing his varied assortment of 25 boys and they are showing promise of becoming a talented boys' band. Their first public appearance is awaited with keen interest. The leaders of the Boy Scouts and Girl Guides are rendering a very valuable service in teaching a var- lety of skills which all add up to good citizenship. Boys and girls who are not members should be given every encouragement to join these character-building associa- tions, The recently opened bowling al- leys have proved very popular and are providing recreation for a large number of "keglers" each week. In addition to various other or- ganizations which provide recrea- tion we might mention the handi- craft class for children, conducted by the Salvation Army, the recently organized Camera Club, the Art Study Group, and the Children's Story Hour, for children from eight to 12, which commences this coming Saturday. If anyone is interested in joining one of the above-mentioned groups or clubs, the writer would be pleased to provide them with any further information they may desire. Welcome Inquiries Even with the activities mention- ed the scope is relatively limited and while it is hoped to remedy this situation it would be of great assistance to the Program Commit tee of the Recreational Association if they know what activities would receive sufficlent support to war- rant their organization. - Any program must of necessity be limited by the facilities available but it is considered that the existing accommodation would be adequate for any of the following: Archery, Fencing, Hiking, Vol- ley-ball, Ski Club, Snowshoe Club, Glee Club, Concert Party, Music Appreciation Group, Block Printing, Cookery, Drawing, Decoration, Jewelry Making, Leather Craft, Model Aircraft and Ships etc., Needle- work, Painting, Pottery, Sew- ing, Toy Making, Weaving, Wood Carving, Woodworking, Dancing, ballet, tap etc., Nature Study, Horticultural = Study, Book Club, Debating or Public Speaking Club, Collectors Club --stamps, coins, bottles etc, We would be particularly inter- ested in hearing from anyone who has had experience in some of these activities and could give instruction or assist in the organization of such a group, Whitby Student Wins Laurels Fred Harden, son of Mr. and Mrs, W. P. Harden, of Port Whitby, who is now a student at the Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, in the Veterinary course, has been making @& name for himself in the field of sports, : At the O.AC. fleld day held re- cently Fred won four roi in the 220-yard dash, quarter mile, run- ning broad jump and relay team race. He was top man for the Vet- erinary College and tied for pield Day champion. Fred also demon- strated his hockey ability on the sollége yeam last winter, and re- cently a le Inter-Varsity spo day in Hamilton y hu "letter" for his athletic prowess. Fred was one of the Whitby High 'School's outstanding athletes during his student days here, and as a member of the Shamrock Athletic Club, Oshawa, brought distinction and honor to that or- ganization, eS ------------" ant VISITORS AT ROTARY Oshawa Rotarians Hayden Mac- Donald and Regmald Geen were thy Rotary Club.

Parkin of Toronto, yesterday and were examined by the com- missioners at their meeting last night. It was decided to hold a special meeting on Thurs-g tect about suggested modifications to the plan, and to invite the P.U.C. foremen to the meeting to offer any suggestions on necessary changes. The building, which is to be erected on the northwest corner of Brock Street South and Colbourne, will be a two storey modern build- ing housing offices, showroom, gar- ages, equipment and store rooms for the P.U.C. at present somewhat cramped in the Town Hall, as well as extra office space and an apart- ment for a trouble-fixer on the sec- ond floor. Of Modern Design It will be modern in design with a solid bank of windows along the front, and will stand on the lots made vacant by the tearing down of two old buildings at the corner. The Commission were advised by a letter from Mr. Parkin that it would be advisable to call tenders as soon as possible so that contract- ors interested in working on the new school to be built here next summer would be able to figure on this job as well, Several criticisms of the plans were made and it was decided that the architect be invited to a meet- ing on Thursday so that these dif- ficulties could be ironed out. The main problem was that the level of the bottom of the cellar was to be below the sewer level for the lot, but H. L. Pringle hoped that a change in the depth of the cellar would correct this, . The Commission had hoped to get the building started this year day night to confer with the archi-" but several delays had held up the plans, and building conditions are so uncertain that the P.U.C. are now just hoping that they have their new offices by mext year. Power Failures Mr. Pringle also read the report from C. E. Meyers, the Hydro en- gineer, who inspected Whitby's power supply a few weeks ago to find a remedy for the many power failures of the summer months, He said that if the approval of the H.EP.C. were obtained, new and heavier lines would be installed to the three big power rs, the On- tario Hospital, the canning factory and the pumphouse and lumber mill, during the winter. In this way he hopes to relieve the uneven loading. ¢ Ask Hospital Pay More Since the water rates to domestic consumers have been rdised from a minimum of 12 cents per thousand gallons to a minimum of 13% cents per thousand the Commission voted last might to ask the Ontario Hos- pital to increase their rates from 12 to 13% cents, thus keeping in line with other consumers. The Commission also approved the installation a new fire hyd- rant at the corners of John and Ash Streets to service the new fac- tory being erected there, With regard to the proposed new sewage disposal plant the Commis- sion were told that Dr. A. E. Berry, provincial health director, was in- vestigating the question of issuing a mandatory order to the town for the project. Reforestation "From the cradle to the grave we are never out of touch with trees", said John F. Clark, Field man for the Ontario Department of Agriculture as he pictured for Whitby Kinsmen at their meeting last night the importance of trees in the economic well-being of all mankind, Mr. Clark touched briefly on the products and by-products of the for- estsand our dependence on a con- tinued harvest of this year, the most adaptable of all raw material. "The shortage of wood" he-said, "is the chief bottleneck retarding our building program. "Erosion of the soil, and the loss of valuable revenue," continued the speaker, "may be traced to the re- moval of forests and the absence of a re-forestation program." Mr. Clark could not understand the lack of foresight in a farmer who would log off his woodlot, allow cattle to pasture there and neglect to replace the trees removed. Destroyed By Carelessness Pictured beauty of landscape with trees, and the naked, unattractive barrens where trees had been re- moved gave point to the speaker's plea for continued care of our for- Said A Must For Economic Well-Being ests and woodlots. Gulleys gouged by freshets were picture evidence of the destruction of some of our most valuable farmland, all due to the careless removal of trees, Mr. Clark also displayed a num- ber of well designed articles, made from wood and pine cones. He said that he had made these as a hob- by, and that they were considered suitable for the tourist trade, if made in quantity by a hobbycraft group. The speaker promised the assist- ance of his department in the Kinsmen's projected nursery for trees whicli will be started in the North section of the Memorial Park. Bob Purdie and Clayton Moorhouse of Whitby High School were present to hear the speaker and it is expected that they will assist jn the nursery project. High School Winner It was announced that Fern Hess in Grade 12 at the High School had | placed highest in the Commercial Course and had qualified for the prize donated each year by the Kinsmen for proficiency in these , REFORESTATION (Cotinued on Page 5) TOWN OF WHITBY requested to attend.

Both appeared in Whitby Police Court yesterday after having al- ready been sentenced to two years each in York County Court a few days ago. The case against Volvie had been heard the week before when he had pleaded guilty to six of eight counts of breaking and entering and of stealing a trailer. Crown Attorney Alex Hall re- ported that practically everything had been recovered except some $500 worth of tools stolen from a Brooklin garage, some of it in Neal's home and most of it at Volvie's. Had Long Records "These are very serious charges and you have a very bad record," Magistrate F. S. Ebbs told Volvie in passing sentence, "You were re- sponsible for a whole series of offences committed in this district, as well as being found guilty of a similar offence in York County." He sentenced Volvie to two addi- tional years in Kingston, giving him seven concurrent two year terms and a six month term. Volvie's pre- vious record dated back several years and he was last released from the penitentiary in 1942. Volvie pleaded that he had a wife and child to look after, but Magis- Volvie To Serve Four Years, Neal | Thefts William Volvie will serve four years in Kingston Penitentiary for the series of robberies he committed in the Pickering-Brooklin-Scarboro area in the early summer, and Norman Neal, accused of retaining the stolen goods, [Puieral of Late Mrs. Geo.
