"This is no little thing and we've got to take the pros and cons into considera- tion." "When you're going to put in 50 houses, it's not asking too much to grade the roads up," Mr. Jackson said. He cited several instances where the township had taken over areas and done the grading and gravelling, "Those are all mistakes of previ- ous councils," declared Councillor W. E. Noble. "Projects should be laid out and some improvements made before being over." Councillor Noble said that this policy was in accord with instruc- tions from the Municipal Depari- ment at Queen's Park. Deputy-Reeve T. D. Thomas said that Council should lessen the bur- den on the builder. "We 'should go some part of the way," he sald.

Ten houses under the Veterans Land Act are being erected cn one side of this street.

Snag Betters Toronto, Feb. 8 -- (CP)-- While there is no temperature ra- ted officially as being the coldest a human can stand, the men at Snag Airport in Canada's Yukon feel they have a fair idea. Yesterday the R.C.A.F. and De- partment of Transport personnel at the lonely airport were sticking close 'to their firesides because the official thérmometer squeez- ed itself to the bottom of the tube to record a temperature of 81 de. grees below the Farenheit zero, a record for the North American continent. The official thermometers used by the Department of Transport are graduated only to 80 degrees below zero. When it appeared as though the temperature might go below that the "met" men at Snag scratehed additional gradu- ation lines on the glass tube, be- low the 80 minus mark, When they looked at the thin red line today it actually showed 83 below but after careful check- ing the men decided it was 81 be- low for official purposes. While "met" men chortled over the xecord, they admitted the temperature was still 12.6 degrees warmer than the coldest on rec- ord in the world. A temperature of 96.3 below was experienced at a Siberian settlement called Ver- choyansh in 1885. Verchoyansh is a village at the bottom of a closed-in valley. Snag Airport in the Yukon is the most westerly of all R.C.A.F. stations and Department of Transport observing stations, Ew- art Johnston of the meteorologi- ca] station at Maltin Airport near Own Record, 81 Below Zero Is Reached here spent several months at Snag and he told the Canadian Press, "Snag is typical of the North West staging route north- ern stations. There are two air strips and the personnel live in well-built log cabins reinforced with a two-by-four lining and passlling filled with spruce saw- us "The station is north of the Al- aska mountain range and if you extend the parallel of longitude that Snag is on it would pass 750 miles west of Vancouver, Latitu. dinally, it is on a parallel with the southern tip of Greenland and Baffin Land, "There are trees at the station but they extend only 2,000 feet above the airdrome level on the mountains of th district." Coldest temperature ever rec- orded anywhere, Mr. Johnston sald, was found 10 miles up in the stratosphere. A thermometer that went skyward in a balloon recorded 134 degrees below far- enheit zero. Hottest weather temperature |. ever recorded on earth was 134.6 dgrees in Death Valley, Califor- nia, But the men at Snag Airport are not concerned about Death Valley. Early last night the tem- perature was dropping again af- ter a short rise, and a new record perhaps was in the making, OLDEST INSTITUTION The Franklin Institute is the old- est institution in the United States devoted to study and promotion of the mechanic arts and applied Science, i Napanee, Feb. 3--(CP)--The will of a Napanee dressmaker, Miss Rosa V.

The father returned to find the home in flames and was unable to reach the children, Two women died in a rooming- house fire on Power Street, in cen- tral Toronto. Mrs. Alice Wilson,, 53, and Mrs. Freda Webb, 60, were vic- tims of the blaze, which destroyed only one room before it was extin- guished by fire officials who blamed "careless smoking." The 13th fire death of the week- end was that of Walter D. Stephen- son, 35, believed to have fallen as- leep in an easy chair before his small frame home at Hamilton was dstroyed. Another multiple fatality was re- ported from Sydney, N. 8. when four persons were belleved drowned as their motorcar crashed through the ice of the Mira river. Dragging operations are planned to recover the bodies of Daniel Francis Gillies, 29; Daniel Ronald Gillies, 13; Mrs. Agnes Gillies, 66, and Mrs, Cathar- ite Gillies, 70. The driver, Rev.

E. N. Sinclair, K.C,, M.P., the Rev. John Jacenty and Father John Pereyma urged a gathering of Ukrainians on Sunday afternoon to lend their full sppport to the end that the Canadian Gov ernment open wide the barriers of the immigration regulations, so as to allow their compatriots in dis- placed persons camps in Western Europe to find a full free life in Canada. The speakers informed the mass meeting that these D.P.'s number about 300,000 and many are talented and could well contribute to the further development of Canada. These D.P.'s, it was stated, being wanted by Communist Russia as opponents of Soviet rule would not lend themselves to spy activities as have the Communist sympathizers in Canada. These D.P.'s would form a further means of solidifying our position against the encroachments of Soviet' propaganda by their knowledge of actual conditions in the Soviet "heaven". Upon presentation of the open letter including the resolution as to immigration policy, the mass meet- ing endorsed it unanimously. The open letter so endorsed reads as follows: * Mr, W. E, Sinclair, M.P., House of Parliament, Ottawa, Ontario. Dear Sir: At a mass meeting of Canadian citizens of the Ukrainian origin held on Sunday, the second day of February, 1947, at the Ukrainian National Hall, 68 Bloor Street East, in the City of Oshawa, the following Resolution was un- animously passed and the Commit- tee was instructed to forward same to you. The Resolution reads as follows: That since many of our public men are of the opinion that Canada needs more settlers and laborers to develop its natural resources, and since there are thousands of people in Europe who have been uprooted and displaced by the ravages of war and now have no place to go, we, as your electors implore your assistance and intervention in the House of Commons when the ques- tion of immigration arises on be- half of the refugees and displaced persons of Ukrainian origin, namely to prevail on the Government to extend the existing immigration regulations as follows: 1. Widen the scope of existing regulations by including in the ad- missible categories: (a) married sons and daughters. (b) married brothers and sisters. (c) uncles and aunts and their children, (d) friends of Canadian citizens who are willing and able to take care of them on arrival, 2. Make special provision for settlement of the ref with the of the ternational Refugee Organization, Charitable Organizations and private persons by proper selection from the gen- eral stock of the refugees and after proper medical examination, the feria of such categories as fol- 8: i (a) Farmers and gardeners. (b) Groups with special qualifica- tions as forest and wood specialists, manufacturers and organizers of new industries, fish specialists, ete.

Most parts of England and Wales were expected to emerge from the grip of the frost but new grief was threatened in the form of flood conditions predicted for some areas within a few days.
