Enthusiastic at what he had seen and beard, J, M. Roblin said it was one of the most inspiring conven- tions he had attended. He spoke especially of the work of Crippled Children committee saying that many clubs have enlarged their work in this field so greatly the name may well be changed to em- brace a larger field, namely "child welfare." Secretary Ed. Bowman gave a humorous, yet serious account of | Royal York. He particularly liked the choral work of the Graven- hurst club choir. An address by President Daniel L. Marsh of Boston University was reviewed for the Whitby club by G. M. Goodfellow. Mr. Marsh had told what he sees in Rotary that "makes you take off your hat to the past and your coat to the fu- ture." The key word in Rotary is "service". No man is too big to join Rotary--it is rather a question whether he is willing to serve as Rotary demands. | In Rotary, as in a democracy, | the sacred significance of indivi- | dual personality is preeminent. The | vocational service aspect of Rotary | is designed to enable the member | to realize that he can feel proud of the service he renders his fellow- | man through the agency of his | business or profession. Likewise | Rotary engages in community ser- | served are our future citizens. The Boston speaker peinted out that | when a man is gone, invariably his obituary record is highlighted by On the matter of prevention of | international understanding before | it. In the end, the clubs influence | will be felt even in the councils of the United Nations. Drunk in Car Driver Given Seven Days Jail Fred and John Buldyke of Brooklin were each fined $25 and costs or 10 days ih district court yesterday on separate charges of failing to make 1945-46 income tax returns, Both pleaded guilty ahd a minimum sentence was requested. William Babich admitted being drunk in charge of a car. He was sentenced to seven days in jail and costs. Sergeant Ronald Love tes- tified that he and Provincial Con- stable Charles Hefferon had seen Babich get into his car in front of the Tuck Shop Monday night. They followed him and found that the car was driven erratically for several blocks. A truck was forced onto the shoulder of the road. After the car was stopped the driver arpeared very intoxi- cated. Magistrate F. 8. Ebbs also ordered Babich's license suspended for three months and the car im- pounded. Ralph G. Harris of Whitby was remanded on $500 bond for one week. He is alleged to have cash- ed a worthless cheque for $10. James Chilman of Whitby was remanded one week on an assault charge. He also appeared to an- swer a non-support charge evi- dence on which he had been taken on April 6. The latter charge was laid over for a month, Feel No Need To Buy 'Ear' On Committee Whitby Town Planning Commis- sion decided last night not to take immediate 'action on a request from the Ajax-Pickering-Whitby Indus- trial Planning Committee for en- dorsation of its plan for a Recon- naisance survey and sharing of the $800. feet for such a survey. The survey would be premiminary to | zoning areas along the lakefront. The motion by R. Langford and Mayor Davidson will be forwarded to the town council which had re- ferred the problem to the planning commission. It read: "whereas this | Board wishes to co-operate to the fullest extent with the townships on the east and west of Whibty, nevertheless we feel that the prob- lem is primarily for the townships, and when and if a properly con- stituted Area Planning Board is set up then we will entertain a request for an initial token contribution and be pleased to co-operate." A lengthy round table discussion preceded the motion. At the present time, direct benefits to Whitby from the township planning com- mittee's work are not easy to dis- cern though members of the Whit« by commission agreed that they should be closely in touch with that committee. If a contribution had been made now it would merely be "buying an ear" on the committee. It was also pointed out that the committee has not yet achieved legal status of a Board under the Department of Planning and De- velopment. Planning consultant Gordon Cul= ham addressed the Board on sev= eral phases of the zoning and build. |ing by-law now in course of pre- |paration. None of his suggestions iwere acted upon at this meeting for {the purpose was one of discussion. | When the actual wording of the by= |law is prepared, the commission | will be fully informed on what they |want and how the phrase the by- law. Mr. Culham dealt with height of residences, set-back distances, established building lines, side- yards, dccessory buildings, ete.
