THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE TUESDAY, MARCH 16, 1948 LATEST NEWS OF THE COUNTY TOWN OF WHITBY Business Office, Miss G. Macpherson, Phone 703, All Departments COUNCIL APPROVES 5,964 FT. OF SANITARY SEWER ' Turn Down Three Major Extensions; Cost Now $25,000 Town Council last night ap- proved construction of 5,964 feet of sewers in various parts of the town, estimated cost of which is close to $25,000. This com- pared with applications for exten- sions totalling 20,016 feet which would have cost an estimated $114,000. Application must now be made to the Department of Health for approval. Permission must also be | obtained from the Ontario Munic- ipal Board in connection with the expenditure. The work will be =" supervised by the town staff. Feeling that such a large ex- penditure should not be incurred this year, Council turned down three major extensions which would have totalleq approximately 14,000 and cost over $90,000. Most debatable project was the proposed extension north of the Canadian Pacific Railways line. This would have involved 6,840 feet of pipe and would have cost an estimated $35,100. Mayor William Davidson sug- gested that the project be recom- mended to next year's council. He said he felt the people in that area were entitled to the service but he didn't think the town could afford it this year. Reeve Andrew Muir maintained, however, that "something should be done regard- ing conditions in the north." H. L. Pringle, Public Utilities engineer, pointed out that prac- tically all the properties in the area were now serviced with water.

Edger- ton Young, district secretary of the Upper Canada Bible Society, told the annual meeting of the Whitby branch. Mr. Young outlined conditions in India and showed a film en- titled "The Heart of India," The film was in technicolor, and showed the giant snow-capped Himalaya Mountains and the ever beautiful Taj Mahal. It took the work of 20,000 artisans who la- boured 20 years to build this ex- quisite memorial. The picture depicted the life of a youth who became a Christian scholar. This young untouchable had a baby sister who was sick unto death. The village fakir could do no good with his charms so the mother had the young lad go for the Doctor Sahib who had set up his tent on the outskirts of the village. With great reluctance the lad went through the village to the tent of the mission doctor, where he told the doctor that his little sigger was very sick. The medical Man went with the young lad to see the baby which he ex- amined with great care much to the amazement of the child's fami- ly because the doctor was not afraid to touch an untouchable. The first spoonful of medicine did. the child good and the medical man Whitby Branch of the Upper Ca- nada Bible Society reviewed the most successful year in its his- tory at the annual meeting held Sunday night in the Baptist Church.

B. McIntyre pointed out that it {involved not only modern educa- tion but also "a very substantial | expenditure of money." Councillor Kenneth Lee added that it was going to take "an awful {lot of deep thinking and common sense" and urged all members of Council to seek further informa- tion. On motion by Councillor Harold | Mace it was decided also to ap- point a special committee to in vestigate a comparable district already in existence, COLLIDE WITH BUS In collision with a bus just east of Toronto while on the way to Whitby Saturday, Mrs. William Heard, of Woodstock suffered a broken nose and her husband less serious injuries when their car cole lided with a bus.
