PAGE FOUR =" THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE 'WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1947 LATEST NEWS OF THE COUNTY TOWN OF WHITBY Business Office, Miss G. Macpherson; Wm. T. Williams, Editors Phone 703, All Departments 200 Legionnaires Attend Memorial Banquet Here The annual banquet of Branch 112, Canadian Legion, British Em. e Service League, was held in e Legion Hall last night with well over 200 Legionnaires and guests in attendance. Frank Threadgold, pres- ident of the local branch, presided at the affair and the guest speaker was Comrade W. A. Caswell, Vice- Chairman of the Ontario Pr ial Command. . A {full evening of entertainment was provided for those in attend- ance by a troupe of entertainers headed by Al Harvey, member of the famous Canadian comedy team of Al and Bob Harvey. Jack Ayers, Tom Hamilton, of Dumbell fame, Raymond Lowe, magician extraor- dinary and Grace Hammond, ac- cordianist. Comrade Threadgold told the as- sembly that this was probably one of his farewell speeches to the Le- gion as its president. He said that since his election to the post of Dis- trict Commander he fouhd it im- possible for him to carry on in his capacity as president and that he was forced to resign from that post. Other dignitaries who addressed the meeting were Mayor Willlam Davidson, Chaplain David Marshall and Rev. Gordon Channen. In his brief address Mayor David- son told the Legion members that as Mayor he would do everything pos- sible to aid the Legion in any way he could. He briefly outlined the possibilities of expansion in the town and announced the fact that several new industries were con- sidering making their home here. One industry in particular that the Mayor mentioned was a "semi- heavy" industry that has already leased 60 acres in Port Whitby and which was considering the building of a plant in the town with a 100,000 square foot area and which would employ about 300 people, 50 per cent men and 50 per cent women. "This industry alone will prac- tically make the Town of Whitby all over again" he said "and we ex- pect a definite answer from them within the next thirty days." Comrade Caswell, Vice-Chairman, Provincial Command, told the le- gionnaires in attendance that they were an integral part of a great or- ganization and that in his estima. tion formed one of the best Legion branches it had been his privilege to encounter. Briefly outlining the aims of the present Legion officials he men- tioned specifically the hope that be- fore too long the Legion would be abel to announce an increase in the pension paid to widows as a result of the war. "How can anyone ex- pect a woman to live decently on a mere $60. a month pension and if it is within the power of our or- ganization to raise this amount we will do so." Comrade Caswell told the assem- bly of his early morning visit to Sunnybrook Hospital which he claimed was "the best hospital of its kind in the world." "It would do you all good to see the spirit of the patients at that hospital," he said, "and it would give you some idea of 'the courage and fortitude of our wourided veterans." Anothér speaker at the banquet was Comrade H. Bell, president of the Christie Street Hospital branch of the Canadian Legion. He ex- pressed his pleasure at being able to attend the gathering in Whitby and reminded those present that they would forever owe a debt of gratitude to those who died during the war and also to those who were hospitalized as a result of wound received while on service.

Question Asked Of Rotarians The guest speaker at the weekly luncheon meeting of the Whitby Rotary Club held in the Royal Ho- tel here yesterday was Rev. David Marshall, minister of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church and Chaplain of the local branch of the Canadian Legion. Substituting for a speaker, Rota- rian Vincent De Vita, Leaside Ro- tary Club, who is confined to bed with 'a severe cold, Mr. Marshall told the Rotarians present that one of the most important questions in the world today is one that has been asked many times before "Is it peace?" "The same question," he said, "is being asked toddy as it was follow- ing the end of hostilities in 1918. All of us are wondering whether itis peace or merely & lull in the fight- ing or a breather before the next war starts." + "We all remember Prime Minister Chamberlain's remarks, "Peace In Our Time." These few words were a source of great joy to the whole world but we all know that soon after the world was plunged into the greatest conflict we have ever known." Attesting to the great work of the Rotary organization throughout the world, Mr. Marshall said that Ro- tarians could play an important part in preserving the "peace" that was supposedly won during the sec- ond world war. "Rotary is an in- ternational organization" he said, "and if each and every Rotarian was to live up to and practice the ideals and aims of Rotary if is pos- sible that we might find the much sought after "peace in our time". Pointing to the obvious Mr. Mar- shall said that the one nation the world is watching very closely today is Russia. "Whether this is neces- sary or not I do not know" he said, "put I wonder if her loud voice is not the result of an inferiority com- plex." "People believe that war is in. evitable. This is not true. Many things in the past have been des- cribed as inevitable but history has proved them otherwise." Mr. Marshall referred specifically to the slave trade which was prac- ticed in the United States and other countries throughout the world. "Many brilliant and good men were involved in slave trading", he said, "simply because they believed in it and because they believed that it was a part of human nature. How else were they going to produce cotton, tobacco and other crops if it wasn't with the aid of cheap slave labour? Experience has taught us the folly of their beliefs, however, at one time these beliefs were up- held as being absolutely correct." "Some people believe that there will always be wars because they are part of human nature. However, it is my belief that this may only hold true so long as human nature is what it is. "We can win the peace simply by bringing to bear the same qualities which we exhibited during the war, The same courage and the same quality of mind, heart and soul, and the-same-determination-of sticking - to the job until it is completed, is the key to success. We can win the peace providing we bring to bear these qualities which we possess.'
