Williams-Gay Wedding Is Largely Attended A wedding of wide interest took place yesterday afternoon in the United Church when Marjorie June ay, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. harles C. Gay, Trent Street, Whit- by, became the bride of Vernon George Williams, son of Mr. and Mrs. George E. Williams of Whitby. Rev. Charles Malcolm officiated. In a church decorated with yel- Jow and white chrysanthemums the ceremony was performed and the wedding music was played by Mrs. Vernon Rowe. Miss Marion Rowe was soloist. Mr. Gay gave his daughter in marriage. She was becomingly gowned in a dress with bodice of white satin with lace yoke and sleeves, lace skirt and peplum going into a long train, beaded headdress with full-length veil. She "wore a strand of pearls, a gift from the groom. Miss Tilda McWirter, Miss Mar- Jorie Ross and Mr. Alex Norwick attended the bride, all dressed sim- ilarly in midnight blue satin gowns with hats and gloves to match. They carried deep pink carnations and chrysanthemums and wore chokers, gifts of the bride. Everett Williams was groomsman and the ushers, Alex Norwick and Gordon Miflin were ushers. A reception was held in the Uni- ted Church hall where the bride's -mother welcomed the guests dressed in blue crepe with black accessories and wearing a corsage of yellow roses. She was assisted by the groom's mother wearing wine crepe with accessories to match and cor- sage of white chrysanthemums. For a wedding trip to Montreal the bride wore a brown gabardine suit and brown accessories. After their return, they will live in 'Whitby. A large number of guests were esent at the wedding from Mont- al, Niagara Falls and Toronto. Pickering Sends Deputation To County Council "It took the heart and soul out of Pickering when highway 2A opened up," said Dr. Neil McEwen of Pickering in county council yes- terday. He was speaking in support of a deputation. from the village which is asking a furher 20 per cent cut in their assessment obsoles- cence rate. Dr. McEwen's borne out by figures county assessor Ralph Wilson who said that whereas 8,000 cars per day had been counted on the highway west of Pickering in January 1947, now the count would be something close to 1,500 per day. He stated that he realized this change during the past year had. hit restaurants and gasoline stations and that this | would be taken into consideration | fn future assessments. ©pyril Morley speaking for the de- putation said: "We are quite in sympathy with the work of the as- sessor put we realize that some ad- Justments are necessary," Mr. Mor- ley commented on the points in the petition. 'Thomas Harding of the council said that he recognized Pickering has a problem but that assessment is a county-wide problem at the present. Reeve Muir: "If we start now to | create new ideas for the asses:or, | it would be a miracle if we were able to - satisfy everybody. What some 'members of this council would have him do is assess by a rule-of-the-thumb. As far as high- way trade lost last summer is con- rerned, Whitby is emwtitled to obso- escence rates too, Instead of that the suggestion is that commercial properties be raised and farms be lowered, T. D. Thomas: "We must realize that this is an entirely new system of assessment and it is to b: ex- pected that some mistakes will have been made. But remember 'iis sys- "tem is a great improvement on the old one--which was nd system at ail, contention was | quoted by | Power Overload | Puts Lights Out Last Night Whitby made a large unsche- duled saving in power last night. Approximately half the town was in darkness for about an hour. Soon after the power came on at six o'clock the ex- ceptionally heavy current run- ning through the wires found a weak spot caused by a loose clamp and the resultant heating burnt the wire. Superintendent H. L. Pringle answered numer- ,ous phone calls while his men were: out searching for the break. He told The Times-Ga- zette that he has his fingers crossed hoping that other un- known weak spots will not show up when tremendous loads come on the main line. House- holders can assist in this by not turning on all the electrical i t at once i diate- ly the power comes on. Comments On (Continued freem page 4) {ber of light industrial businesses such as planing mills, moulding shop, toy manufacturer, etc, and these along with the commercial business section appear to employ the majority of the employable per- sons in the village. Its location is | a preferable one being 23 miles from ; Orillia, 28 miles from Lindsay, 12 mile from Cannington. Traffic Change It was felt that the allowances for Pickering and Brooklin com- mercial properties should be greater than the 10% and 15% now given and that all other commercial pro- perties in the County should be rais- ed. Certainly since No. 2A highway has been opened for traffic a decid- ed drop has been noticed in tourist trade in Pickering Village and all other hamlets along No. 2 highway including to a great extent the Town of Whitby. Brooklin if any- thing has benefitted by this change. Tourists going north on No. 12 high- way have no stopping place between Highland Creek and Brooklin with the exception of the business sec- tion of Whitby Town. They also re- ceive substantial traffic from No. 7 highway. Your County Assessor sug- | gests therefore that the commercial properties in Pickering receive the same allowance as Brooklin,-namely 16% and that all other allowances for commercial properties remain as they are. It was further felt that all resi- dential properties in Pickering and Brooklin should receive less allow- |ance than they are now receiving namely 10% and 15%. Here your County Assessor does not agree but does suggest that no difference be *made between Pickering and Brook- lin residential properties and that Pickering village allowance be there- fore 15%. Land Values--Commercial The feeling expressed is that com- mercial lands in Pickering and Brooklin should not be top price. Top + commercial land value in Brooklin is $8 a foot compared to a top of $30 in Port Perry and Ux- bridge. Pickering land has not as yet been broken down at a rate per foot but it will not exceed Brooklin land values when completed. Brook- lin and Pickering do feel the prox- imity of Whitby, Oshawa and Tor- onto but it is felt this is taken care: of in the allowance on buildings and the price per foot of the land. Land Values--Residential Here it is felt that residential lands in Pickering and Brooklin should be raised in value because of the proximity to Whitby, Oshawa and Toronto, and while certainly some raising of land values has ac- crued for this reason, it is not de- Poppies Don't Change = Buy One Tomorrow The same red poppy made by the same veterans of the First World War in the same Vet- craft workrooms in Toronto will again be on sale on the streets of Whitby tomorrow. This year the sale is organized by Jim Fraser for the local Legion. The only people who make a profit on peppies are the needy vet- erans and their dependents for whom the appeal is made. Nothing whjch could be said here would further recommend this worthy purchase to the public. Buy one--give as much for it as possible. Even in pay- ing the minimum price, remem- ber it is one of the few things which cost the same as three years ago. Carefully made, these poppies are significant of one of the crucial periods of human history. Handle it gently and think of what it means. STAFFORD 'BROS.

Land Values--Farms Farm lands are felt to be rated too high in the manual even though it is admitted that in the majority of cases farm land in Ontario Coun- ty is selling for more than the as- sessed value. The top farm land value in Ontario County is $50 per acre with the exception of course of market garden land and orchard land which is much higher. The wrote to all the Counties having County Assessors and asked them to forward the full appraisal cards on Consideration has been given way to this extent: Lands on a highway increased $200 on a Coun- ty road--$100; on a side just in from highway--nil; on an ordinary County Assessor would welcome dis- such as 5% plus on highway to a 10% reduction on inaccessible loca- tions.

Toronto's 700,000 citizens, now un- dergoing power cutoffs totalling two hours a day, were told Thursday that night-time 45-minute hydro breaks would start next Monday. Candles sold by the bushel. The announcement prompted the Board of Education Thursday night to authorize buying of $25,000 worth of emergency lighting pment for schools. Trustees said the board might be held responsible if -a pupil fell and suffered injuries during a daytime cutoff. Ontario hydro chairman Robert Saunders Thursday night criticized industrial and commercial firms for advancing lunch hours to coincide with the cutoff period. He said switching lunch hours defeated the power-saving objective and the firms used the same amount of power as before the cutoffs. Ottawa prepared to split its hour- long cutoffs _ into two half-hour, breaks effective next Monday. The first hydro interruptions of the pre- sent shortage started last Monday in the capital. Kitchener, Stratford, Niagara Falls, Oshawa, Owen Sound, Water- loow, Woodstock 'and Belleville all reported Thursday that on Wed- nesday they exceeded their power quotas. ' Union, Company Continue Talks Toronto, Nov. 5--(CP)--Officials of the Anaconda American Brass Co., of suburban New Toronto, and the International Union of Mine Mill and Smelter Workers (C.I1.0.- C.C.L.) were scheduled to renew ne- gotiations today on the union's de- mand for wage increases of eight- cents an hour. Jack Stewart, presi- dent of the union local, said the company's top ofter had been 3% SEARCH CONTINUES St. Eustache-Sur-Le-Lac, Que, Nov. 5° -- (CP) -- Villagers closed stores and other business places Thursday and joined the grim search for two St. Eustache youths, missing since Saturday on a duck- hunting trip. All the searchers were ocnvinced that Don Girdwood, 18, and Charles Flynn, 18, drowned in the Mille Iles River when their canoe upset. BOMBER LOST Seattle, Nov. 5--(AP)--A United States Navy long-range bomber with at least seven men aboard was re- ported missing Thursday night. The craft was participating in Army- Navy-Air Force training exercises off the Washington coast. Australian Workers Get Wage Boost Sydney, Australia, Nov. 5--(CP)-- More than 1,000,000 Australian workers this week received a wage increase of the equivalent of from 32 to 64 cents. The increase in the basic mini- | 67,300. mum wage was granted by the Federal Arbitration Court to offset the rising cost of living. The states have been fighting a losing battle with rising prices since the Federal government handed over controls of rents and prices after its crushing defeat in the jonta-and-prices referendum last ay. State ministers in charge of price control claim they are doing all in their power to keep prices down but complain that withdrawal of Fe- deral subsidies on essential goods such as wool, textiles, raw cotton and potatoes, coupled with the in- creasing wage rate make it almost impossible. Almost daily, applications for in- creased prices are received by the prices commission to meet higher costs of labor and materials, while prices of commodities released from control are going up rapidly. New South Wales Prices Minister Frank Finnan hinted at the possi- bility of re-introducing price con- trol on a number of these com- modities, He declared that state ministers: would look into the price of goods where they had risen out of proportion to their value. Reduction of the working week at the beginning of the year from 44 to 40 hours is blamed by some Aus- tralians for the increased costs and falling off of production. Apart from union disputes, short- age of labor has kept down produc- tion, Last month unemployment throughout the Commonwealth fell to a record low of 862, while the number of unfilled vacancies regis- tered reached and all-time high HERCULES' PILLARS The island of Gibraltar and, a mountain on the African coast op= posite it were known to the ancients as the Pillars of Hercules.
