WHITBY And DISTRICT HELPING Although Garrard Road Fire Brigade is one of the newest in the Whitby area, members can boast not only a fine fire fight- ing record but also ope of the most active Fire Prevention Week campaigns. At Sinclair's Thornton School, members of the brigade lectured students on fire prevention and on % Thursday, Mr. Smoke and Miss Flame were picked in each school, selected because they had turned in the best fire in- spection reports concerning their own homes.

His Worship made the t while di ing a suggestion from Labor Minister Michael Starr that employers be arged to not overlook the older age group when hiring new em- ployees. A letter was received in coun- cil from the minister asking council's policy on hiring men over 40 and also asking any sug- gestions the council might have regarding this problem. "I feel sorry for many men," said Mayor Jermyn. "I have them coming to me to see if they can get work because no one will hire them because 'they are over 40. It is no credit to the Dominion of Canada that this situation exists." Councillor Sid Correll suggest- ed that requests bv organized labor for pension plans may have backfired in that many employ- ers refuse to hire older men be- cause of the cost of putting them in the company pension plan scheme. He suggested that or- ganized labor might throw its weight behind a campaign to have the men over 40 not con- sidered ineligible for employment in many instances. As the matter was turned over to the health and welfare com- mittee for reply His Worship noted that although man's life span is increasing, many em- ployers ider him i tc hire after 40.

The elected and appointed of- ficers were installed by District deputy grand master Brother Don Keeler and staff, This was the last meeting for Garnet Crawford to preside from the noble grand's chair and for his departure to the past junior grand's chair, a full turnout of elected and. appointed officers and other members were on hand and showed their appreciation for the good work done by Brother Garnet while he was in the presiding chair. In his opening remarks the newly installed noble grand, Brother Stevens, made special E [mention of the fine installation ceremony put on by Brother Keeler and his staff and also thanked his own members for their selection of himself as noble grand and asked for the full sup- port of all members in making theirs a bigger dnd better lodge, not only for the present but also for future terms. Elected and appointed officers were as follows: L. G. Stevens NG, Stan, Swain VG, Wm. Gor- don, Chaplain, John 'Reader Sr. Conductor, Ash. Loyst RSNG, Hugh McTaggart LSNG, Bruce Brandt RSS, John Reader Jr. LSS, Harvey Atwood RSVG, Tom Kelly LSVG, John Bremner IG, Gordon McLean OG, Horace Simpson FS, Albert Carr Treas, Emory Burdge RS, Lorne Kemp, Warden. Due to the large turnout of members from all seven lodges of the district the installation team was somewhat restrained from putting on their elaborate floor work, however, did give a fine exhibition of intricate pat- terns and well deserved appre- clative remarks were extended to DDGM Keeler, DDGW Wanna- maker and the installation team staff by the numerous lodge of- ficers and members present. In a special ceremony noble grand Brother Stevens desig- nated Brother Keeler to present suitably engraved past grand jewels to Brother Fred James, PG, and to Brother Garnet Craw- ford, PG. Both brothers made very appropriate replies to Brother Keeler's presentation re- marks.
