iE \ PAGE FOUR ' THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE MONDAY, MAY '3, 1948 LATEST NEWS OF THE COUNTY TOWN OF WHITBY Business Office: Miss G. Macpherson. Editor: Robert Corbett, phone 2589 Phone 703, All Departments Sewage Disposal Plant Work Now Well Advanced Construction work on Whitby's largest current building project, the new sewage disposal plant, is now well under way. Estimated to cost citizens $158,000, contract for the plant was let last Fall to the Toronto Construction Corpora- tion Limited. Whitby embarked on this of the Ontario Department of o Health, which finally issued a man- datory order for building of _the disposal plant, thus making it "un. necessary for council to submit a plebiscite vote. Visiting the site Saturday with Utility Manager Herb Pringle, The Times-Gazette found 25 men and equipment on the job. More will pe added when building construc. tion begins. Estimated time for completion of the job is six months. Veteran Utility employee Art Wigston viewed the activity with approval. He pointed to the low- lying, now inefficient, smelly dis- posal plant and told, this amazed reporter that he ha worked on construction of the original plant in 1014, just before he enlisted in the First World War. Consulting engineers Proctor, Redfern and Laughlin, of Toronto, who are designing many similar in- stallations in Ontario towns, pre. pared thep lans and specifications, Briefly, the arrangement is that the raw sewage enters a primary clari- fier where sediment is taken out and then it goes to an identical 55-foot diameter secondary clarifier where further sludge is removed. A third circular tank is called a bio- filter. This is 75 feet in diameter. A building 'on' the premises will be for the purpose of housing 2 furnace room, pump room, labora. tory and other small items. Sludge is finally expelled into specially constructed sludge beds. Practically work at the insistence Directs Campaign JOSEPH E. SHIELDS has been appointed chairman of the 1948 Salvation Arm; Red Shield | campaign which opens next week. | Mr. Shields has organized a canvass {of the town and expressed deter- | mination that the objective of | $2,000 would be met. Other execu- | tive officers include Gordon Bate- | man, treasurer, and Gordon Os- | borne, in charge of publicity. all the odor is removed by this | time and the residue will be very | much in demand as garden fertili- zer, though it is doubted that it will have much commercial value to the town. At present the town does not own sufficient land for the plant and it is in process of acquiring approxi- mately 3% acres of the adjoining Sleep property, some of which is now under cultivation. Work began at the site, south of Highway 2A and just east of the cloverleaf, on April 5. Preliminary work consisted of laying sewer pipes. When this is finished, the various functional units of the dis- posal plant will go up one by one. Tennis Club Elects All Officers Peter Cooke was elected . presi- denta of the Whitby Tennis Olub at a very well-attended meeting in the club rooms yestérday. Other officers are Lois Sleight- holm, vice-president; Ruth Bow- man, secretary and John Spratt, "3 . The 36 members pre- sent showed great interest. It was decided to organize committees lat- er this "week. Tuesday night these members will be on hand at the courts arm- ed with hoes, rakes and shovels to begin the Spring offensive against "weeds. As soon as the courts are in shape play will begin. It was felt that membership fees for both senior and junior players would be left at last year's figure. Town Park Again 'In Good Shape For the past three weeks the town | park caretaker has been busy every day the weather was fit, raking leaves and cleaning up in general. Today the park looks very inviting again. If it is not raining again by the time this appears in print, any passer.by can see the swings in use by children of the neighbour- hood. Under the direction of Coun- cillor Seymour Whitney, the park work has been carried out very ex- cellently this year and it now pre- sents an excellent appearance. Just how well the north portion serve ball players in the coming month remains. to be seen. Its bare clay surface is impossible when the least bit wet and it is not too smooth when the sun bakes it as hard as brick. . : i .... 'Tag Day For Blind Nets Generous Response of $212 Proceeds from Saturday's Tag Day in aid of the Canadian Na- tional Institude for the Blind were very gratifying, a member of the executive said today. Approximately $212. was received {and this is considered a generous response for a tag day in a town of this size.

Two names were proposed but neither of these men was present. They will be contacted to confirm their appointment. ; A manager from each of five teams will be also on the executive. Teams enterel so far are: Whitby "Tigers"; '"Legionaires"; Baptist Church; Brooklin and a team from Port Whitby. Girls' League At a meeting in the town hall, John Moncur was elected president of the girls' softball organization. Gordon McMahon presided for this meeting.

Toronto Youth Group Takes Sunday Service A group of young people from Avenue Road Church in Toronto were in charge of the service in the Baptist Church here on Sun- day evening. In the group that came down from the City five denomina. tions were reprssented. Their lgad- er Ross Moyer, who is a lad from Saskatchewan, was in charge of the prayer and his attractive per- sonality will tzke him a long way in the work he does for the church of bringing other young people into the church. Lois Pearry played several religi- ous solos on the violin with a sen- sitivity and a depth of feeling for the selections that she had chosen. Gloria M. Taylor was the songstress of the evening. As she sang she felt the meaning behind the wordsd and interpreted the songs that she sang with a wisdom beyond her years. Their accompanist, Hal Gib. | bons, did a sincere job in fulfilling his role at the piano. He played a solo selection that put one in mind of the sea rolling on the shore dur- ing a heavy thunderstorm. The film the "Power of God" was depicting family life in our times and how the word of God gave ease and comfort to the ones who had troubled spirits and hearts. This film showed that man can find peace in the Gospel of God. To peo- ple with one misston in life of spreading the God's Gospel peace, joy and hope will be theirs. The greatest law of all is the law of love. "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you." It also pointed out that the Chris- tian home is the bulwark of Chris- tian civilization. This picture was presented to show how God's word helped various families who were in i frouble and sorrow and how His word helped to ease the pain and bring happiness. Toronto Singers Give Recital Two Toronto artists, Lillian Smith, well-known, soprano, and Harry Reed, baritone soloist at Yorkmins ster Church, gave a recital at the Ontario Ladies' College, Saturday night. Their program ranged from opera to light humorous selections and they were ably accompanied at the piano by Mrs. Collins. Appropriate for the first day of May was the group of old English songs by Purcell with which Miss Smith and Mr. Reed opened their program, Mr. Reed then sang "Fel- lows be Merry" by Bach, "Breathe Soft ye Gentle Winds" by Handel and the aria "Why Do The Nat- ions" from Handel's Messiah. Following a group of three French songs, great range of voice in an aria from Bizet's opera Carmen. Other selec. tions by Miss Smith were "The Cu- koo," "Serenade" by Bruno, "Eec- stacy" by Romel and "Will O' the Wisp" by Strauss. Also included in Mr. Reed's pro- gram were "Nocturne" by Heron, descriptive of the night winds and dreams of love; the gay and lively "Yarmouth Falir;" the cherry "Far. mer's Pride;" and "The Vagabond." The singers presented twe num- bers from the opera Pagliacci and their voices blended with gentle charm in their concluding selection, "How Sweet the Moonlight Sleeps Along This Bank" from Shakes- peare's Merchant of Venice, «1 PLAIN.

This extensive project of the gar- den club should have some interest- ing results as the summe: months progress, Children who applied for seeds (fee was 10c, though the seeds cost the club about 25c) will get seven varieties when Gordon Mec- Mahon visits the schools today. The idea is to provide enough seeds for planting at least six feet in each row. The three varieties of flowers given out are zinnias, mari- gold and cosmos. THe vegetables are beets, carrots, onions and beans. Members of the Garden Club each will be assigned names of six youngsters and they will visit the plots periodically through the sum- mer to offer assistance and advice. (Strictly no weeding, they say!) Then at the end of August a special class in the Garden Club show is created for the purpose of showing the children's work. Prizes will be given for the best girl's and best bo;'s garden. 250 Pound Doe Damages Car On 'Brock Road [2 "It ran smack into the front of their car." Chief Jack Irvine of Pickering was still slightly amazed last night at a happen- ing he had investigated Satur- day evening Tom and Bill Newman of Brougham were rolling down the Brock Rcad without a wor- ry in the world. As they pro- ceeded down Barrett's Hill sul- denly something big and black and solid ran straight into the headlights. There was an im- pact and the car stopped. On the road lay a deceased 250- pound doe. Damage to the front of the car included a bent fender, smashed grill and broken headlight. Editorial Comment Strength Of The Army Every time a Salvation Army Red Shield Appeal comes along, we find it amusing ye deeply satisfying, to observe the varied types of citizen who dig in with a will to put the campaign over the top. Speaking not of Whitby, off-hand we recall the case of the Greek restaurant-keeper who al- ways led collections in his. district though he scarcely ever went to church in his life. It seems that when he had come to the States as a boy, things went pretty tough. The Salva- tion Army helped him at that time an ever since he has giv- en his time and substance for the Salvation Army. Then there was the case of another non-protestant, keeper of a licensed hotel. He too "believed in" the Salva- tion Army and was first to contribute every Saturday night when they entered his beverage room with the tin cup. He turned out to be one of the best canvassers. And to cite just one more case: that of the hard-boiled oil-company salesman. He believed in the work of the Salvation Army too, nor was he in the habit of taking "no" for an answer when he approached a prospect. $10. a head; he set as his objective--and extracted it. Luckily his victims realized that the Army was in no way responsible for the high-pressure method to which they had been subjected! Whitby is on the threshold of another S.A. Red Shield appeal. The men and women who conduct 't are diversified personalities and most of them have no direct connection with the Army but they also, time and effort to this soul-saving cause. have seen fit to donate their The least the rest of us can do is to be generous in our donations.
