Whitby A new school area will include Whitby and Whitby Township and the County Council is expected to pass a by-law to that effect next week. If and when another high school is built, the present Whitby High School will revert to the Whitby Public School Board. Without the inclusion of Picker- ing Township in the area forming its own area) the meet could see little material advantage and some possible losses, in forma- tion of the small area, but after long consideration Harry Jermyn, of Whitby, summed up by saying that neither Whitby nor the town- ship is ha ling anything and there are future possibilities in ex- tending the bond between the two municipalities. At first Duncan McIntyre was inclined to take the view "not so fast" but finally ed that in view of the long history of the case and the necessity of mak- of ing a decision before County Coun- as a "whit cil meets next week, that Whitby Represe should agree to the area. school board Mayor William Davidson opened | bers, ti 'the meeting and called upon F.

Many facts and figures were heard to illuminate the situation The Department of Education rec- ommended the union as the only lcgical step to take, though it may not result' in immediate financial benefits or extension of school courses due to the limited number pupils in the area, (school at- endance will be about the same present until the local, popula- ion increases).

Last Saturday Bracey won the half- mile inter-scholastic trials at Montreal. In Bowmanville last month he won an "open" mile. Whitby's "white hope" on the track has been attending these meets on his own and though he has brought credit to his town and school his only finan- cial backing this year has been one donation from a local retail firm. The Times-Gazette wishes him best of luck. | FED WITH SALT WATER | The saltiness of the Great Salt | Lake in Utah is caused by accumul- ation of mineral salts washed into previously reported but cost of a | Try a limes-Gazette classified ad | it by rivers.

W. E. Simpson of Edmonton, on his return from the April Interna- tional Petroleum Exposition at Tul- sa, Okla., said many oil company heads "were keenly interested in Alberta's new discoveries. They are convinced, however, that oil depes- its are hard to locate in this prov- ince." "Oil companies want assurance there will be no sudden and drastic changes in government polky that could result in huge losses," he said. "If assurances of fair treatment can be obtained these companies are prepared to spend large sums in exploration, We in Alberta must bear in mind that our oil deposiis are not easily located. "It is going to take much time and money, to locate these oil pools." Mr. Simpson said the 'oil exposition itself was a revelation. There was more than $100,000,000 of the most modern oil industry equipment on display and orders were placed for more than $1,000,- 000 worth of<tools, ranging from the latest in derricks to the smallest electronic precision instrument. "Tulsa is indeed the oil capital of the world," Mr. Simpson seald. committee or MARKETING BODY FORMED Brockville, Ont. -- (CP) -- Gren- ville county potato growers formed a potato growers marketing associ- ation at a meeting here.

DAVIES | Brooklin, June 10.-- Almost 100! guests called on Mr. and Mrs. H.! MacPherson on Sunday, June 6, to | congratulate them on the occasion of their silver wedding. Their home | looked lovely with many gorgeous baskets of flowers, gifts of friends, ! rooms. A cutting-the-cake ceremony started proceedings, when Mr. Mac- pherson presented his wife with a basket of two dozen huge white carnations, she in turn presented him with a signet ring. Mrs. Macpherson received their guests 'in a two-piece royal blue dress with an afternoon corsage of white spirea and pansies and an evening corsage of carnations. Three of their nieces, Misses Ma- rie, Myrle and Bernice Thomson of Agincourt, served tea to the guests, while a fourth niece, Miss Doris. Thomson was in charge of the guest book. The tea table, cov- ered with a beautiful lace cloth, was centered with the handsome and delicious wedding cake, silver candles in crystal holders and a basket of white carnations made it a perfect setting for the two love- ly ladies, Mrs. Green and Mrs. Nixon, both of Toronto, who pour- ed tea. Some of the exquisite blue china used had been a wedding gift received by Mrs. Macpherson's mother nearly sixty years ago. Mrs Le Blonc of Malverne, assisted the guests to their places. Near relatives attending were: Mr. Macpherson's mother, sister and brother of Markham and sis- ters, Mrs. Elmer Daniels, her hus- Ellis (bridesmaid) and husband and Miss Peggy Macpherson of T ronto; Mr. and Mrs, John McKit- rick, cousins, of Greenbank. Besides places mentioned there were guests from Scarborough, Barrie and 'Unionville, A phone call of congratulation was received from Rochester from Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Hooker, Kinsale, who were visiting there. The best man at their wedding was unable to at- tend but sent congratulations and a handsome cheque. Many lovely and useful silver and miscellaneous gifts were receiv- ed, including cheques from a bro- ther of Mrs. Macpherson's in De- troit and a sister in Minnesota. Al- though Mr. and Mrs, Macpherson have been in Brooklin only four years they have made many fast friends since they moved from Kia- sale, where they farmed for five years. They were married in Agin- court, at the home of Mrs. Mac- pherson's late parents, Mr. and Mrs, Thomson, whose ancestor was the first white woman in Scarbor- ough. Mr. Macpherson's sister, tastefully arranged in the various | band and boys, Stouffville and Mrs. | Lines with a sparkle, action and comedy were enjoyed by the audie ence which saw the Whitby Mode ern Players' presentation of "Dear Ruth" in the town hall last night.

Mrs. Anne Wilson directed. Gordon McMahon, recreational association director, said a few words of welcome at the beginning of the evening. Those taking parts knew their lines well and had gone to much work in order to give this excellent one- night show. The cast comprised Marie Williams, Margaret Sleep, Marion McLeod, Sam Peake, Mar~ cella. Rousseau, Ralph Wilson, Forbes McEwen, Mary-Elizabeth Coleman, Tommy Fairbrother and Jack Switzer. Stage manager was Ross Scott and the attractive sets had been designed and constructed by Hazel WorfOlkk, Ron Deeth and 'other workers in the Modern Players.
