Phone 703, All Departments County Roads In (Good Shape After Heavy Snowfall The driving sleet which tore through tby and gections of Ontario County yester- day morning did not inconvenience traffic on county and local roads other than to makemirivers proceed more slowly over the ice-laden streets and highways. "County Road Superintendent David Kean said today that all county roads and highways were jen and that the southern section of the county had been hit hardest the snow blitz. "Sections of orth Ontario County are compar- ptively free from snow, he said, and, although some snow did fall in the extreme north end, it was not accompanied by the high winds which caused snow in the imenedi- vicinity around Whitby to drift te ly. pea: county snowplow units were in action all day yesterday although the snow was not considered a ser- fous road block. Conditions in the town proper were extremely bad early yesterday morning and town workmen were kept busy throughout the day clear- ing the snow off roads and side- walks in the Whitby business dis- trict. Trucks, under the command of Works Fred O'Dell, were continually spreading sand over the highways and other main arteries which were "extremely » after the eight-inch fall, us and train schedules were fairly well maintained through the town although some drivers re- ported "tough and dangerous go- ing" on some of the roads and thoroughfares. Although a fair amount of snow fell in the county it was not enough to really test the new system of alloting county-owned snowplows to vital areas. The deepest snow is reported to have fallen in Reach Township, Uxbridge and Whitby, Up until an early hour last even- no serious accidents had occur- in the Whitby area although . issued-a warning to ali-driv- ears to postpone all unnecessary trips out of the town. "Works Fred O'Dell is- sued an appeal to all Whitby motor- ists not to park their vehicles on the majn streets overnight. *It is a definite hindrance to snow -re- moval operations," he said, "and if mctorists will co-operate with us in this matter we will be able to get' most of the winter's main streets. shortly stops falling." ! we off 'the the snow A ne i | Homing . pigeons. were used both ks 1 he Fiat Great World PRICES GOING UP OUR PRICES GOING DOWN For sale 500 cords of Softwood' SLABS. 4 ft. long, cut in 1.1¢.

Both teams are tied for top spot in the league at the present time with 13 points. Not too far behind in the scramble are four other teams, Pickering Foresters with 11 points and Red Raiders, Lakeshores and Butt Radio all tied with 10 points apiece. The firemen crew and Ajax are tled with seven points each and then Brooklin with three points and Whitby Kinsmen with no - points complete the standing. An even dozen bowlers topped the 600 mark during the past week and three bowlers were initiated into the "lemon league" when they fail. ed to break one hundred. One of the leading lights of the Alger Press team, Des Denyer, is showing continued improvement and , was graduated into the over six hundred class during the last contest. Des reminds some local folk of his father who was a famous cricketer and tennis player in Eng- land before coming to Canada. Officials of the league have asked that all team captains make sure that their complete team is on hand when they are scheduled to play. They point out that the league is becoming badly disrupted because of the failure of some teams to have a full complement of men on hand on their scheduled night and also because some of the teams are often late in arriving at the alley and consequently hold up play for team which follow them: , Commission Ajax Girl As Medical Missionary -- i A held recéntly when Miss Gwen .

WOMEN'S {Temperance Film Shown In Schools A film, brought to Whitby by Rev. Mansell Irwin and shown to Whitby school children in the in. terests of temiperance, was shown in the Whitby schools several days this week. Entitled "It's The Brain That Counts" the sound film demon- strated quite clearly the effect that liquor has on the normal functions of the human mind. Told in a most interesting way the story endeavours to bring home to all school children the necessity for temperance and tolerance throughout their lives and accord- ing to officials of the public, sep arate and high schools the lesson derived from the film made an im- pression on the children particu- larly the younger ones. The plot of the film was laid in a doctor's office when he ans- wers a telephone to learn of a serious accident in which a boy had been badly injured. Two other young people who were instrumental in urging the injured youth to take a few drinks show a great deal of concern and the doc- tor, in a way which is easy to understand, explains to them the effect alcohol has on the brain and reflexes of a human being and, in a subtle way, causes them to mend their ways and become temperance advocates. Prineipals of the schools in Whit. by were unanimous in their decision that the film was of a highly edu, cational value as wcll as being very interesting to the children who wit- nessed :t.

Martin Whitby Classified | Dundas St. Traffic Noticeably Less Since Highway Opening There is a definite lessening of traffic on the No. 2 Highway since the official opening of the new four lane 2A Highway, which passes through Whitby to the south, in the opinion of local merchants and police department officials. The new highway, which was officially opened on Wednesday afternoon at West Hill by Highways Minister Doucett, is a link in the proposed Toronto-Montreal main highway and already Whitby has noticed the decrease in traffic, par- ticularly truck traffic, which used to travel on No. 2 Highway. Several merchants who were in- terviewed on 'the subject as to whether their business would suf- fer any because of the lessening of traffic, were of the opinion that this would not be the case. They pointed out that the majority of traffic using No. 2A Highway was through traffic and consequently would not be stopping here anyway. "Most of our old customers still use No. 2 when travelling to Whitby to shop" said one merchant "and I believe the decrease in traffic will benefit us more than it will hinder us." Speaking of the terrific volume of traffic which passes through Whitby during the summer vacation months, another merchant said that is is an accepted fact that 50 per cent of the summer tourist traffic goes north on No. 12 Highway any- way and if they use the new high- way and intend to go north they will have to use the Brock St. thor- oughfare which runs through the main shopping district of the town. The three coach lines which oper- ate out of and through Whitby will continue to use the old highway, according to company spokesman. The reason given for this is the fact that persons using the service invariably want to pass as near as possible to the residential and busi- ness districts of the towns along the route. : Most of the heavy truck traffic which normally used to through the town is now using the new highway and the lessening of this particular: type of traffic is more évident than any other single factor, SUCCESSFUL DANCE AND 'BRIDGE The Whitby Tennis Club held a most successful dance and bridze in the High School last evening. Sixteen tables of bridge c:cupied the auditorium and in the gymna- sium, handsomely decorated for the occasion, a. large crowd of young people enjoyed the dance. Re- freshments were served by mem- bers of the Tennis Club executive. The affair was sponsored by the Whitby Rotary Club. In Memoriam HOGG--In loving memory of a dear son and brother, Pte.
