M.H.A. circuit will be played at Taylor's Arena on Saturday after- noon, according to an announce ment released today by Gordon McMahon, Whitby Director of Re- creation. The three games in ques- tion are the second-half of play- off twin bills between the Whitby All Star Bantam and Midget teams and Peterborough and the first half of a two game series between Ajax and Woodville. Both Whitby teams we e handed defeats by the lift lock city lads on Wednesday evening. The Ban- tams bowed out 11-2 and the Mid- gets were turned back 4-0. How- ever, officials and players feel con- fident that they can turn the trick against the Petes and. win both games even if not by a sufficient margin to win the round. Ajax Midgets have a very strong team and are expected to give the Woodville aggregation a real battle for the lead in the total goals to count se ies, A large crowd is expected to be on hand for the games and offi- cials of the W.M.H.A. have issued assurance that all paying specta« tors wil] be well rewarded for the nominal entrance fee charged . Whitevale W.M.S. Holds Regular Monthly Meeting The regular monthly' meeting of the "Women's Missionary Society," held at the home of Mrs. I. Med- calfe was indeed an inspiration. The Presidwit--Mrs. L. Hagerman was in charge of the meeting which was opened with a hymn followed by the "Lord's Prayer," in unison. The Roll Call was answered by a verse containing the word "Jour- ney." Reports were heard from the secretaries of the various depart- mnts of the local W.M.S. regard- ing the work of the past year. Much credit is due to the President for her faithfulness and untiring devotion towards the work of the W.M.S The auxiliary has progressed un- der her capable leadership and it is clearly indicated by the fact that it has doubled its membership during the past two Years, and also its financial condition is on a sound basis. The devotional period was con- ducted by Mrs, G. Hastings and Frs. L. Hagerman, and the program was in charge of Mrs. G. Van Blaricom and Mrs. J. Tweedil. Two chapters of the Study Book were presented. "Great is the Company," "The Bible for India and Burma." The story of Adoniram Judson's life and work in Burma as a mis- slonary and translator of the Bible into the Burmese language was dramatized by four members, na- mely, Mrs. L. Randall, Mrs. Leslie Randall, Mrs. E. Teeple and Mrs. R.H. Johnson, taking the parts of the King, his assistant, Judson and a native Burmese convert. Mrs. William Johnson sketched the story of Henry Martyn, a bril- liant young English University graduate, 24 years of age, who had been sent to India as Chaplain to the Kast India Company's of- ficials in Calcutta. Mr. Judson Pugh was admitted to the Toronto General hospital for an emergency operation. We are glad to report good progress.

Editorial Comment Satisfying Information The announced intention of the Whitby Board of Educa- tion to carry out an extensive renovation program to the Dundas St. Public School is certainly worthy of commenda- tion. By their action, the Board will undoubtedly save the ratepayers a great deal of money in addition to providing a comparatively modern interior to a school building which, in its present condition, could not be termed an asset to any community. The poor ventilation, lighting, plumbing and heating | facilities at present in the 8chool have long been a source of concern to successive Whitby Boards of Education and one year ago, prior to the vote on the question of building a new school in the area at an estimated cost of $225,000, the school was condemned by some Board members as "so an- tiquated it was obsolete and of no further use as a school building." The investigations carried out recently by John Hare, newly elected member to the 1948 Board, and his property committee, have proved this statement to be grossly exag- gerated. In a verbal report delivered to the school board at their regular monthly meeting on Wednesday of this week, Mr. Hare told the Board that a consulting engineer had been approached and had looked over the school earlier in the week. In answer to a request by Francis McIntyre, chairman of the Board, the engineer had written a letter outlining his findings and estimating the cost of alterations and repair | work to the school. The tentative estimate arrived at was in the neighbourhood of $6,000 and this would cover plumbing, heating, ventilation and lighting improvements. Mr. Hare told the Board that additional renovations to the property, not covered by the engineer's report, would be about $4,000, The situation as it now stands leads one to believe that for about $10,000 or very little more the Dundas St. School can be renovated to the extent whereby most of the present difficulties can be eliminated. It is a foregone conclusion that a new school is required in Whitby and will no doubt be underway before too much time has elapsed. The site for that school will be in the north west ward of the Town by decree of the voting public but the fact remains that the Board of Education last year was so keen on having a new school built in the north east section of the town that they tried to emphasize any slight need for more accommodation in that area by declaring that the Dundas St. School was "obsolete." Mr. Hare, in pre-election remarks, stated that he be- lieved the Dundas St. School useful as a school building pro- viding alterations were carried out. He has now apparently proved his remarks despite an inclination by some Board optimistic. {members to believe that he was out of line and overly | , - Jie Pa Notable Air Record In Pacific Service By LESLIE BRODIE Canadian Press Staff Writer 'Sydney, Australia. --(CP)-- The | Japan Cour%r Service -- the long- est air route i the world operated with twin-engined aircraft -- has been discontinued by the Royal Australian, Aft Force. § Qantas Empire Airways have'ta- ken over the 7,000-mile route un- der charter to the R.A.A.F. and re- placed the C47s with four-engined Lancastrians.

Ldr. J.D. Balfe, the pilot who flew the first plane up to Tokyo. Balfe told reporters that the best tribute to the service came from the United States troops at Okina- wa. Becaus of their punctuality in getting in and out of Okinawa in all kinds of weather the Americans gave them the same service priori- ty as they did Pan-American Air- ways, which was higher than their own army and navy planes got. Balfe said that al] airmen in Ja- pan, Americans and British, agreed that the R.A.A.F. courier service had a better record than any civil or military airline in the world. Reason for the government's decision to discontinue the service was stated to be the smaller cost of operating Lancastrians under charter for thé long run, and the fact that the Dakotas would even- tually be banned, from the long ocean hops. Apart from that it is believed the government wants to operate a civil route to Japan and sees this as an opportunity to get in on the ground floor before others bgin to operate, Red Devils Lead Hos.

'The campaign then rapidly wound up. Army reports which will probab. ly be made public 'shortly, support this view. Fighting with the 1st Divsion was the Three Rivers Tank Regi- ment of the 1st Armored Brigade. The other two regiments in the Brigade--the Calgarys and the On- tarios -- were with the British in the east, In the original plan, the Cana- dians' role was to be fairly easy. They had not been in battle before and the Eighth Army fitted them into a spot between the main Bri. tish force and the American Sev- enth Army. If everything had gone according to plan, it would have been a smooth and comparatively painless introduction to war. But a few days after the Eighth | Army, including the Canadians, [landed on the Pachino Peninsula [ on the southeastern tip of the is- land, the British forces, fighting [ | their way up the . eastern coast, the | Were stopped completely on fringe of the Catania plains. Plans Upset It had been intended that the British divisions would sweep across the plains, capiure Catania and link up with the Americans coming in from the west, When the holdup occurred south of Catania, the then General Sir Bernard Montgomery altered his tactics. He ordered the Canadian Divis- ion, commanded by then Maj.- Gen, Guy Simonds and at that time making a steady advance through the centre part of Sicily, to hit eastward for the Mount Etna line at Adano. With this piston.stroke from the west, he hoped to relieve the pres- sure on the British Divisions, in front of which was concentrated the main German force. The manoeuvre worked.

The casualties were 2434, of whom 38 officers and 437 other ranks were killed or died, The start of the campaign was near-bloodless affair, The an had sailed from Clyde in Scotland directly to the Mediterranean and joined the Eighth Army at sea, between Malta and Tripoli. Then at dawn on July 10, 1043, the Canadiang landed on the Pa. chino beaches. The chief hazard was the stormy sea which had whipped up suddenly 12 hours be- fore and nearly led to the attack being postponed. The 1st and 2nd brigades as- saulted the beaches and met only sporadic machine gun fire and some shelling. The 3rd brigade was in reserve. The Canadians pushed rapidly inland, with the Italian' coastal forces breaking up rapidly. There were some skirm- ishes but they were not important. Four or five days later, driving hard inland towards Enna in the heart of Sicily, the division met the Germans for the first. time and from tlien on the campaign became ns tough. e really rugged and costl fighting started south of Ot where the Canadians switched to the east on the drive to Mount Etna, and from then on each day brought a fierce struggle in the scorching Agira valley, through towns such as Nissoria, Regalbuto and Agira, People should know a little about basic health principles.
