PAGE FOUR THE DAILY TI MES-GAZETTE MONDAY, JANUARY 19, 1948 ATEST NEWS OF THE COUNTY TOWN OF WHITBY: Business Office, Miss G. Macphersop; Wm. T. Williams, Edicor. Phone 703, All Departments Many Problems Facing County Council In Session Here Tomorrow The Ontario County Council will convene at 2 p.m. tomorrow after- noon for .the opening session of 1948. A heavy agenda of business faces the Council and one of the most important items will be the election of the new Warden. Always an important session of the County Council, the January session this year promises to be an even more important session than in previous years. One of the major items on the agenda and which will be dealt with in the four-day ses- sion will be the striking of the County Rate. In other years this was left over until the February adjourned session but because of a motion introduced at the November, 1047 session, by Deputy-Reeve Dun- can B. McIntyre, of Whitby, the Council will this year strike the rate at the January meeting. At the time of the passing of the motion it was pointed out that when the County rate was not struck until February many of the minor muni. clpalities were forced to strike their own rates without first knowing what the County Rate would be. *This was never a very successful arrangement and because of the in- creasing pressure being brought to bear by officials of the minor muni- cipalities it was unanimously de- cided to strike the rate at the early session thereby giving all muni- cipalities definite figures to work on when ascertaining their own' rates. Another Itighlight of the session is expected to be the frequently aired Ajax question. In the past few years County Council has been con- fronted with the problem of en- deavouring to get either the Pro- vineial. or Federal governments to accept a share of the cost of edu- cational, social and relief services supplied to residents of the Crown owned Village of Ajax. Since the last theeting of the County Council many harsh words have been ex- pressed by members of municipal councils, particularly Pickering Township Council, and many sug- gested solutions have been an- nounced, It js thought probable that the Council will endeavour to reach some solution favourable to all municipalities concerned. Still another ominous cloud which has drawn closer to the County Council as a result of the recent elections in the minor municipali- ties in the northern section of the County is the question of increased assessments because of the new "equalized assessment" plan put in- to effect by the Council last year. In Mara Township much criticism of the new plan has arisen and in some cases this criticism formed the STOP SCRATCHING Relieve ltch in a Jiffy )&/ Ralieve itching dus to athlete's foot--and minor itch trou!

Ti Win From Ajax By 9-4 In Ajax Saturday afternoon the Mercantile Tigers, last year's Town League juvenile champions, trounc- ed Ajax 9-4 in an exhibition tilt. The Tigers were superior in all de- partments but the, smaller ice sur- face hampered their smooth crew from working effectiyely. In the opening frame the Tigers went ahead 3-0 on goals by Corner, Mowat and Fletcher. Ajax manag- ed to get one of these back before the end of the period with Wootton doing the honours. Deeth brought Ajax within one goal of the Tigers but it was a futile bid as the Mer- cantile boys broke away on a scor- ing spree. Sundin blasted one in off Cavan- augh's stick then Corner tallied two in a row before Ariss slipped one past Ross in the Tiger twine, mak- ing the score read 6-3 at the end of the second period. The local squad then clinched the matter by adding three more goals to their mounting total as Fletcher potted two more goals and Corner one to bring the Tigers' total to nine. Wootton scored his second goal of the session for Ajax, mak- ing the score 9-4. The game was fast and clean with only two penalties awarded, both to Whitby as Mowat and Dickson were thumbed off in the closing period for minor offences. Corner and Fletcher topped the Tigers' scoring with seven goals between them. Ross in the locals' net was also out- standing. Deeth and Wooiton were the pick of the Ajax squad. Line-ups: Mercantile Tigers -- Goal, Ross; defence, Corner, Fletcher; forwards, Brown, McGregor, Sundin; subs, Mowat, Dickson, Ajax -- Goal, Kemp; defence, Pickell, Wootton; forwards, Watson, Johnson, Ariss; subs, Deeth, Row- land, Pepper, Bertrand.

LODER N Town Council In Session Tonight A 'fairly heavy agenda faces the Whitby Town Council for its regular meeting tonight and it is expected that the session will be a lengthy one. Tonight's meeting will be the second regular meeting of the 1948 Council and it is expected that several of the items contained in Mayor Davidson's 15-point pro- gram for the year will be discussed. No definite information has been released by Town Clerk Jack Frost as to what problems will come be- fore Council tonight but it is be- lieved that some consideration will be given to possible estimates from Hie various committees of the Coun- cil, It is also expected that Council will hear a recommendation from the Whitby Board of Education ask ing for permission to purchase a plot of ground near the Brock St. School, Brock 8t. S., which has been offered to the Board and which the Board has already expressed a de- sire to acquire. Tonight's meeting will also hear reports from the newly re-organized committees of the Council regarding any work or problems that have cropped up to date. trowels, Oshawa Rotary Member Speaks Here Tuesday The guest speaker at Tuesday's luncheon meeting of the Whitby Rotary Club will be Rotarian George Hart, of Oshawa, who will deliver an address to the local club telling of conditions that he found exist- ing in England during a recent trip which he took there.

Wilso.: M ARMSTRONG had always maintained that the press was a powerful instrument to make or break people, but even Jim | couldn't have foreseen what would happen to himself and Vingie Winters when the Abitibi Rambler got out of hand, or, that Vingie Winters would drop her test tube when Peter Olsen burst into the newsprint plant in northern Canada with the news that Leif Jorgensen was flying in that day. "Sam Claybourne's all set to take pictures of him, Vingie, and Bill's shutting down the plant so the men can turn out." He twin- kled at Vingie. "Where's Jim?" | Vingie, whose romance with Jim amused the town, ignored the question. Her voic~ was ex- cited. "When's Leif coming?" "Can't say the exact minute. Old Sam Claybourne's with him. He wired Dr. Gendreau." Vingie. Winters was important in Abitibi because she was the | skiing champion. Big Bill Win- ters, plant foreman and father of Vingie, was important, and so was Old Sam the owner, but every ' man, woman and child stopped dead in their tracks at the @ming of Jorgensen. Leif was the mail pilot. He was get- . ting a bit grizzled above the tem- ples now. In early days, he had been their only link with the | outside world," flying in mail, medicines and doctors. But it was three months now since Leif had been seen in Abitibi, not since his plane had been forced down in a blizzard and he'd gone to the hospital. Vingie left her test tubes and | ran out to find Jim and Big Bill conferring with the plant doctor. | "It's the truth," Big Bill, dash- ing for the airport, was serious, "Sam phoned just before théy started. It's too late to say any- | thing about it now -- I wonder ! that Old Sam's grounded him for life?" Vingie wanted to ask about Leif but Jim slipped an arm around her. "Remember, Vingie, when you had polio and Jim flew in Dr. Gendreau--tnat was be- fore he became resident doctor." Tears glinted in Vingie's eyes. | "Leif took me to the hospital afterwards. Sam said there wisn't another pilot living could have made it." Jim was gruff. "Isn't a person in Abitibi doesn't owe something to Leif. Always carried his pock- ets full of candy for the Kids. Seems only yesterday Claire cut down Leif's flying pants for you when you tried out for the ski- ing championship." Peter came striding up with Young Sam, photographer for the Abitibi Rambler, As ski champion, Vingle was impostant to Abii 'i -- and to Lejt. how Leif'll take it when he hears | "Got to get his camera off the 'ield, Jim. I don't care if Sam | loes want to get a close-up of | Leif for the newspaper. Bill's I srdered no pictures taken until 1e gives the word. Sam's just sursting with importance because ne hinks that, now Lassen's gone, he'll be made editor of the Rambler. Mark my words," he laughed at Vingie, "if Sam gets the paper, he'll, take your picture off the front page and run noth- ing but shots of himself." Vingie snapped, "Sam can run what he pleases as long as. he runs one of Leif." She watched Sam disappear. © "Funny, Jim, how we all took Leif for granted. Seemed as if he watched over us all as we grew up. Why, Leif brought in my first skis and all our school books. I remember mother telling Sam Claybourne one day that Leif did half our thinking and Sam grumbled that we'd be lots hetter off when Leif did the whole of it." The plane was circling as the whistle went off in the plant and the men streamed out, milling about' while the aircraft slid in to a landing. Catching sight of Leif, they went wila, cheering. But Leif. didn't swing to the ground as he used to. He was helped out by Old Sam and stood smiling in the face of Vingie and Jim while the crowd fell silent, eyes misting. Young Bill's "Crickety, Leif, what did you do with your leg?" broke the tension and the crowd gathered around, back, joking at the missing leg, taking the tragedy out of it. Only Vingie was silent, sensing Leift's heartbreak, remembering her own crippled childhood, and then with a smothered sob, she |'ran right into Leif's arms and Jim stood silent while Leif scold- ed her gently, knowing that in | all Abitibi, Leif loved best the little crippled girl he'd watched | grow up into a champion. The whistle blew and the men hurried back to work while Vin- | gie and Young Sam helped Leif into the office of the Rambler. Leif seated himself in the chair vacated by Lassen while Jim brought him coffee. "I'm a ground man now, Jim,' Leif remarked, and only Jim sensed the bitterness. "Sam's made me editor. print Sam?" [- It was Jim Armstrong who answered. "Way it looks to me, Leif, | bush flying"s about washed up. What with the new planes, the radio beam and the weather ser- vice, it doesn't need your kind of man any-more, not in the way it did when the whole commun- ity depended on your getting through in the rickety planes in the old days. Now this news- paper, Leif, is a mighty import- ant thing in a new community that's beginning to make its .oice heard. A newspaper can make or break people. Why, Old Cam, himself, said once that it'd se a good thing when you did 'll the thinking for the place." Leif's eyes were on the old sicture of Vingie above the desk and he only heard the last of Jim's speech. "That so?" he said *houghtfully. No paper appeared in Abitibi for a week and Jim was sure that the soul of Leif Jorgensen ad sunk into misery. But when ae' got his copy, he broke into 1 broad smile at the picture of Vingie Winters on the front page. "The Abitibi Rambler proudly aresents Miss Virginia Winters ag their candidate for the national ski jumping champlan ship." Again T.ei' Jorgensen had made a happy landing.

OOPHNN NSRORNE Broker 109 Dundas Street West Whitby PHONE 522 Busy Week Ahead For Hockey Teams, Six Scheduled (Games Are Whitby hockey fans are in for a busy week commencing tonight when the junior and intermediate teams embark on a series of games which will keep one or the other occupied every night this week, In- cluded in the schedule of games ahead of them are many of the more "crucial" games which could see them take over league leader- ship or perhaps drop into cellar positions, the race is so close. Tonight in the Oshawa Arena, Whitby's high flying Red Wings take on the group leaders, Toronto Byers Motors, in the second half of a doubleheader. The first game will see 'the Oshawa B's in action against Orono. The Red Wings, after a depfess- ing start in which they lost their first. two games, have now appar- ently come to life ahd they have won their last three games in suc- cession. Coach Jack Lowe has his charges flying and he expects that the flashy Toronto team will be a "little surprised" at the difference in the Red Wings since their last meeting. Byers are leading the loop and Whitby is in second place. A win for the Red Wings can put them in a first place tie but a loss willl put Byers two full games in front. On the intermediate front the lowly Legionnaires will embark on a series of games which could. mean the cellar spot if they lose and which might mean second place if they win. Tonight the league lead- ing and undefeated Markham Mil- lionaires will be at Taylor's Arena and it is expected that this game will draw one of tie best crowds of the season to date. Markham, always a picture team to watch in action, are a big draw- ing card around the circuit and their flashy passing plays and air- tight defence combinations always glve the fans a lift. Coach Doug. Maundrell would not hazard a guess as to the outcome of the game but he did say that his charges would be out there "trying." On Tuesday evening the Legion crew take on Toronto Diggins away from home and this promises to be a bruising battle all the way. Whitby defeated Diggins in their first encounter here this season. On Thursday night the Intermed- jates tangle with Hank Goldup's high flying Toronto Q. and L. out- fit. Hank's boys handed the Legion a trouncing in Whitby and if at all possible they will be out for re- venge in Thursday's game. To round out the busy week the Intermediates go to Markham on Friday evening to take on the Mil- lionaires in the second game there this year, Markham defeated Whit- by in the season opener there by an 8-4 count. . On Wednesday evening at Tay- lor's Arena the Junior Red Wings will play Oshawa and this game too may well be a determining fac- tor on the league standing so far as Whitby is concerned. Whatever the outcome of this week's games local fans are assured of a prolonged period of hockey action and if the support is forth- coming from the majority of fans Hand S Speaker MISS M. SISSON Dean of the Ontario Ladies' Col- lege here who will address the ini- tial 1948 meeting of the recently formed King Street Home and School - Association. Miss Sisson will take as her subject "Aims of \ Education." The meeting will be held on Wednesday, commenci at 8 p.m. here this may well be one of the most important weeks of hockey action this year. Dean Will Address H&S Association The King St. Home and School Association will-hold their regular monthly meeting, the first of the new year, at the school on Wednes- day evening, January 21. Guest speaker for the occasion will. be Miss M. Sisson, Dean of the On- tario Ladies College here who will speak on the subject "Aims of Edu- cation." Officials of the Association have expressed the hope that a good at- tendance will be on hand for fhe meeting so that all members may receive the benefit of the address to be given by this "outstanding Whitby Educationist." Since the formation of the Asso- ciation, late last year, they have had a number of outstanding speak- ers and have been extremely active and if announced plans for 1948 are anything to go by members can rest assured that the .ensuing year will be one of hard work but with an exceptional set of objectives as the eventual aim.
