Based on a Novel by ZANE SREY Asks For Smaller Committee The assistant chairman of the property committee of the Whit- by Board of Education presented a brief- report at last night's meeting in which he recommend- ed that the number of board members on comenittees be cut to four, Mr. Bracey gave as his reason the inability of all mem- bers to attend the committee meetings, an occurrence which in some cases has held up the com- mittee from making decisions be. cause a sufficient number of members to form a quorum were not on hand, In addition his report recom- mended that if more money was needed for school equipment than had been budgeted for, the chli- dren and parents be encouraged pto hold a fair or some other form of entertainment at which an ad- mission could be charged. The proceeds would be turned over to a committee for the purchase of the required equipment, Indicating that the idea was not new Mr. Bracey said that sev- eral Toronto schools had carried on this practice and had. found it very successful in meeting the demands and serving the purpose. Red Wings Showing Promise The coach of the Whitby Red Wing Hockey Club, Jack Lowe, last night expressed himself .as /fairly well satisfied with the ma- terial on hand and predicted that Whitby would have a contender in Junior "B" ranks this season. The obseryation was made follow- ing the most successful practice the team has had to date at the Oshawa Arena last night. Over 30 young hopefuls were on hand at last night's practice session and before it was over it was clearly evident that the Whitby club would be able to boast of some first class talent this year. Most of the practice was taken up with scrimmaging, skating and stick-handling and as a re- sult Coach Lowe was able to pick a fair percentage of the players present and ask them to turn out for the next practice ta be held at the Arena on Friday evening, December 19. Included in the list of those next practice were the following: Ray Turnbull, Bruce Weddup, Bob Allard, Ross Murray, John Fallaise, Turk Dalby, Ken Mae- Donald, Gord Goode,- Dan Mark, Red Mitchell, Mac Christies, Ross Sweetman, Chuck Johnstone, J. MsCloskey, Lloyd Clarke, Doug Williams, G, Hooker, Roy Trim, Don Yuill, Dennis Hayward, Sid Arnold, Jim Corner, Alvin Lint. ner, D, Batten, L, Hurst, In addition to the above noted players, Coach Lowe requested that all those anxious to make a place on the team but who have not turned out for a practice as yet, do so on Friday, Dec, 19. No announcement can be made yet as to the opposition the Whit- by team will have in their new grouping but it is expected that this will be decided at a special meeting of the Ontario Minor Hockey ' Association on Friday evening, Hospital Bowlers In Fine Form Members of- the Ontagio Hos- pital Bowling League are con- tinuing their fast pace, set earlier this season, and 8s a result of games played this week five teams are grouped near the top of the league standing with only five points separating the fourth place teams from the leaders, During the last week some exceptionally good scores were turned in by both male and fe- male team members with the honours for the ladies' single game going to Miss Groleau with a 238 and the best triple mark being set by Miss Zylich with a 597. ID. Denyer had things pretty miuch his own way in the men's division and he topped all com- petitors with a 274 single and 661 triple. The highest single games roll- ed to date by team members are boasted of by Lois Sleightholm with a 335 and by G. Wolfraim with a. 324. High averages to date-are owned by T. Rea with a 192 and Miss Zylich with a 167.

Their firearms were confiscated, 300 Employees At Start Expected To Expand To 1,500 Announcement today by Dunlop Tire and Rubber Goods Co. Ltd. of the intention to build a $1,500,000 plant unit on a b5-acre site bordering on Watson and Whitby Streets was greeted by Mayor William Davidson as "a milestone in the development of Whitby." The new plant, described as an® "initial unit" by the company, is expected to employ approximately 300--divided equally between men and women employees--with plans for expansion which would create employment for as many as 1500. Construction on the Whitby site, known as the Levine Farm, will get underway next May 1, it is learned. Negotiations leading to location of the plant in Whitby have been proceeding for scme time among of- ficials of the company, Whitby Town authorities, offieials "of the Whitby Chamber of Commerce and representatives of the Toronto In- dustrial Commission. Pays Tribute To Clerk _ Mayor Davidson said he was anx- ious to pay special tribute to Town Clerk John Frost who had been "most co-operative and untiring in his efforts to serve." Chamber of Commerce officials had also con- tributed a great deal in paving the way for establishment of the Dun- lop Co, in Whitby, he added, J. I. Simpson, president, and W. R. Walton, assistant general man- ager, had acted for the company during negotiations, Mayor David- son said, "They have certainly been wonderful people to £aal with," commented Mr, Frost. Mayor Davidson daclared he had "no doubt" that as the company expanded operations over a period of years it' would play an increas. ingly important role in the lives of Whitby's young people as well as add to the town's population. Until now, he said, there had been "no epportunity in Whitby for en- gineers, . technicians and chemists, Our young people, after ccenpleting their schooling, had to go out of town for opportunity." New Vista of Opportunity | Establishment of a plant by the | Dunlop Co. would open a new vista of opportunity in Whitby for those active in the field of engineering, for technicians and chemists and for skilled. 'stenographers, Mayor Davidson pointed out.

The Whitby Rotary Club, in co-operation with the Ontario Tuberculosis Association and Ontario Depart- ment of Health, has arranged to provide every man, woman and high school student in this area with a free chest ex- amination without any cost or obligation whatsoever. This campaign is part of a Province-wide plan to cut in half the incidence of tuberculosis within the next ten years. Local officials estimate that 3,000 persons will receive a free chest X-ray before the clinic here concludes on Saturday. That prevention is better than cure, all will agree. In the prevention of tuberculosis, mass X-ray surveys have been found to be. among the most effective measures. It is hoped, therefore, that everyone will take advantage of this excellent opportunity to protect their own health, the health of their family and their community. The menace of tuberculosis lies largely in the fact that a person can appear perfectly healthly and feel fit and yet have the disease. Happily, when detected in its early stage it can be cleared up fairly quickly and the person return to his employment. The surest way of finding out whether one has tuberculosis is through the® X-ray examination. Each person found to have a shadow of the disease may then immediately receive the necessary attention, The survey has yet another benfit. It will greatly arouse | public awareness of this insidious disease. With this aware- ness fully aroused, there are good prospects that this grim enemy of the people will eventually be done away with.

The approval of the scheme was given last night during the .last regular meeting of the present board. At a previous meeting, E. H. Graham, principal of the Whitby High School, had recommended that classes ke instituted in typ- ing, shorthand and dressmaking and based his recommendations on results achieved during the course of a two-day registration period earlier in the fall. Mr, Graham told the board last night that 87 prospective students had registered for the three sub- jects including 49 who wished d-cssmaking instruction, 24 typ- ing instruction and 14 shorthand instruction. Tentative plans for the opera- tion of the classes were announc- during which it was recom- mended that the commercial and home economics teachers on the staff of the high school be hired as instructors at a salary of $6 per night. Mr, Graham said that they would be required two nights every week, In announcing the procedure for holding .night school classes, Mr. Graham told the board that each student would be required to pay $3 as an entrance fee but pointed out that this money would be returned to the pupils at the end of the course providing they attended at least 80 per cent of the instruction periods. It was also pointed out that the cost of operating the night school classes would be subsidized by government grants in the amount of 50 per cent of the total cost. Several members of the board expressea themselves as being Pe * heartily In favour of the scheme and added that they believed the courses should be broadened to 'include other subjects, providing the classes to be _.ld in 1948 proved successful, The 'students who enrolled for | the subjects will be contacted by the.school in the very near future and = it is expected that the first class will be held the second week of January and weekly thereafter, Announcements BE SURE YOU ATTEND THE CHRIST- mas Concert in the Salvation Army Hall, 211 Brock street south, on Monday - evening, December 15th, at 7:30.
