Tommy Ambrose, Toronto's sweet- heart, along with his brother Jim- my, failed to put in an appearance owing to the fact that Tommy de- veloped the Flu. It was a' dis- appointment to the audience but who can control that Flu bug. Glor- ia Taylor and Helen Green, of Tor- onto came through with flying col- ors when they stepped out to fill the Ambrose gap, as they sang "Jesus is Always There," "All that thrills my Soul," and 'In the Hour of trial." Thanks goes to Chappel Green for brining these girls with him on a minute's notice. i Ernie Sargeant bears recognition too, as the musical sounds of "Sun- rise To-morrow" and "He Lives," cathe forth from his Silver cornet. Bob Sweet, one of Oshawa's out- standing vocalists, caused the aud- ience to hold their breath as he so capably sang "The Stranger of Galilee" and "All things in Jesus I find." We understand Bob is go- ing through for a Medica Mission- ary--what a help a voice like his will be on the Mission fields. Marie Griffin and Don Manning almost taught the audience how to play accordians with their musical ability in the rendering of "A little talk with Jesus" and Onward Christian Soldiers"--sure looked easy anyhow! The speaker of the evening was Mr, Chappel Green, chairman of the Toronto C.B.M.C. The Scrip- ture reading was taken from 2 Pe- ter 2:1-10, Mr. Green spoke of the condition of the world as God sees it, bathed in sin. People will walk God's way, just as long as it does not interfere with their way, But Jesus says I am the way, the truth and' the life, no man cometh to the Father but by me, Which way are you walking, We must go through the blood bought way, if we are to gain Heaven. If the picture of our world to see, could we face it? Hell was not made for us, it is our choice whether we go there or not. If we break the Law, we must pay the penalty, and if we break God's law we must pay the penalty. When we stand before God in judgment and He asks, "What did you do with my Sen?," What will your an- swer be? Remember He is asking you now "What will you do with Jesus?" After death it will be too late, there is mo' second chance. Now is the accepted time, Now is the day of Salvation. The next Youth for Christ Rally witl be held in Simcoe Street Unit- ed Church, February 7, with Mr. C. E. Cairns of Toronto as speaker and he el known Gunnar Knudsen as solo Toboggan Hits Tree Toronto Boy Injured Toronto, Jan, 26 (CP).--Several skiing and toboggan accidents re- sulted in injuries to Torntonians who crowded the parks and nearby ski areas Sunday with one 11- year-old boy in serious condition in hospital today.

Suggest Ajax As Site 4,000 Housing Units "Ajax is an admirable site for the 4,000 housing units Mr. Howe has suggested for the Toronto area," Ralph Ramsden, president of the Ajax chamber of commerce says. He was explaining that the chamber' had - wired Rt. Hon. C. D. Howe, minister of trade and commerce, and Premier. Drew, pointing out the fine qualities of Ajax and that town's willingness to increase its population. The chamber acted after Mr. Howe, in Toronto, said the Domin- ion was prepared to put up 4,000 low-rental houses at once if Prem- ier Drew would provide land and service for them. Ajax already has the land and the services and it is Dominion crown land, Mr. Ramsden explained, Has 3,300 Acres Some 3,300 acres of land were purchased by the Dominion govern. ment to set up defence industries. Besides the industrial plants, 600 houses were built. These, and the industries, occupy just 200 'acres, Mr. Ramsden said. "There are waterworks and sew- ers now in Ajax to take care of a population of 20,000," the chamber head explained. He said that figure had been given as the opinion of competent engineers. The present population is roughly 2,600. "A 16-room school is in operation. 2 Central Housing and Mortgage Corp. shares the cost with the On. tario government." Cites Advantages The chamber of commerce wired Mr. Howe: "Have suggested to Premier Drew that Ajax crown land would make an admirable site for 4,000 low-rental units." Neither had replied, Mr. Ramsden said, though the messages were dispatched Thursday night. Regardless of the immediate lack of response, the chamber is going to | push the suggestion, the president !sald today. The plan has found favor in the community and Mr. tages: Ajax is on a double lane highway which connects with Toronto, 20 way line, is four miles from Whitby, a community of 5,000 people, and nine miles from the city of Oshawa. Besides the sewage system and waterworks, and the school, it has a non-denominational church and recreational facilities. As the people in Ajax live on crown land, they pay no taxes. Their rental covers this. In lieu of taxes, the dominion pays a fixed sum to the municipality. Mr. Rams- den said there had been a continu- ing argument between province and dominion regarding taxes. N Ramsden pointed out these advan- | miles away. It is on a main rail-- T.U.C.A. Activities We're looking forward to seeing all members out at next week's bus- iness meeting, Wednesday night at the C.R.A. building, 7.30 p.m. ' The last weeks have been weeks of activity for members of T.U.C.A. with skiing, skating and a sleigh ride as well as the regular activi- ties of the club. Friday night found the majority of the club members enjoying a good old-fashioned sleigh ride. A lot of fun was had by all, and we do be- lieve that the club should indulge in more of this variety of entertain- ment. Following the ride the mem- bers gathered at the Stark residence on Pine Ave for hot soup and a gab- fest. The last two Sundays a number of new members have been spending their afternoon at the golf links with their skis, With the usual re- sults when people get brave enough to venture forth on those wooden toves, Last Wednesday's meeting was held at the Pleasure Valley Ranch in the form of a skating party. In spite of the cold weather everyone enjoyed the evening and we are looking forward to more of the same before long. There will be skiing Sunday, meet- ing at Alexandra Park as usual at 1.30. Bowling Saturday night of course. We note with alarm the gradual diminishing of attendance at some of these club functions. Let's get in there with some of the old club spirit and don't forget that motto of our: "Together we stick, divid- ed, we're stuck." See you all on Wednesday. Legion Has Power To Oust All Reds Soon As Possible Toronto, Jan, 26- (CP)--The Pro- vincial Command of the Canadian Legion at an executive meeting yesterday voted to give President E. S. Evans full power to take dis- ciplinary action with regard to "subversive members" or even com- plete Legion branches which may have fallen under Communist in- fluence. One executive said that at least two Toronto branches were in the latter category. Patrick Biggs, secretary, said that the executive's action "means an end to pussy-footing where these members are concerned, "The de:ision of the executive was that all proven Communist members, or members known to have made Communistic utterances, will be expelled forthwith," he add- ed. "This applies also to members of . the Labor-Progressive party. "The executive at the present time has dozens of names of known Communists and Communist fel- low-travellers listed. Instead of horsing around with them immedi- ate action will be taken." The closed session was attended by nine zone commanders through- out Ontario, and executive members from Windsor, Kapuskasing, North Bay, Kirkland Lake, Sault Ste. Marie, Ottawa, Oshawa, Chatham and Toronto. The Legion claims 105,000 members in 424 branches in Ontario. 3 HURT IN CRASH Peterborough, Ont., Jan, 26 --(CP) "Three persons were injured Sat- urday when their 19-year-old auto- mibfle was struck by a passenger train at a level crossing.

Substantial Windsor, Ont., Jan. 26--(CP)-- The wage policy committee of the United Auto Workers (CIO) has adopted a five-point program and called for a rollback in prices along with reimposition of price controls and excess profits tax, George Burt, Canadian director, announc- ed last night. The' committee met here over the week-end to formulate the 1948 wage program for 51,320 members of the UAW across Canada. Mr. Burt said the committee agreed there will be demands for an increase of "substantial propor- tion" but that the figure had not yet been set. Other points in the program call for a five-cent-an-hour grant for social security to be paid whally by management; guaranteed 40 hours' pay per week; three weeks' vacation with pay for employees with five years' service and pen- sion plan. The program, with thedxception of the wage-increase point, follows the policy set by mthe UAW in the United States. The union there has set 26 cents as its hourly wage demand.
