"0G SIx Rotary Club Gels Firsi Band [uormation On Construction If Toronto's New Subway Public Relations Executive and .sistant te the Secretary of the r'erente Transportation Commis- dlon, Paul Baker, Friday noon in- troduced Rotarians to idewalk superintendent facts relative te the construction ai the inulti- million dollar Yenge St. subway. Speaking a( the club's weekly luncheon held in the Balmoral Hotel, Mr. Baker said the rapid transit systemn will deiinitely be ready for use by the spring ai 1954, and might passibly be open- ed up in the falai 1953. Origin- ally, date ai completion was set for 1953 but a shortage af , steel has held up construction. Introduced by Rotarian Clare Garton, the speaker estimated the ultimate per-hour capacity ai the system at 40,000 passengers in each direction on Yonge St. Pres- ent capacity an this route is 14,- 000 passengera per hour. Trains will average 18 m.p.h. narth- bound, and 20 m.p.h. southbound, including stops. To emphasize the rapid devel- oPment ai the transportation need in Toronto and in order to afard on-the-spat pictures ai present subway construction, Mr. Baker screencd a number ai interesting sldes.

One ai the mast interesting pictures screened by the speaker~ showed the harse-drawn "York- ville Buss Line" as it was in 1849. '*The six pence fare chargcd then," Mr. Baker said, l'is more than we charge taday." Another remarkable statement he made suggestcd that, due ta congestion, the speed ai traiiic an Yonge St. today ia slowcr tban it was 100 years aga wben the maximum spe limit was 6 m.p.h. Wen completed. the subway will run along Yange St. iram the Union Station on the south ta Eglinton Ave. on the north. Fur- ther narthward extension may came in the future, but at the present timne, the T.T.C. aim is ta relieve downtown congestion dur- ing rush hour periods. "No ather strect in the world carnies as bcavy traific as Yonge St. dur- ing rush haurs,' the speaker said. Over $1,000,000 was spent by the T.T.C. on engineering and re- search alone befare the first pile was driven, accarding ta Mr. Bak- er. He intimnated this total might reach $2,000,000 before the job is iinished.

Trafi le As Unual Aithougli the subway is being built on ane of the busiest streets in Tarante, aver 95 per cent ai the work is being done withoet disrupting the normal flow af trafiic, the speaker stated. Build- ings and stores fronting on the subway must have their foun- dations re-inforced and extended in depth from 16' ta 18' in order te ensure they will net topple over as subway construction pro- gresses. The T.T.C. pays for this work. Referring ta the subway prap- er, the speaker said 21 tons of re- inforcing steel are used for every 45' of the subway iloor. This flaor is cancrete and 3' in depth. The weight of trafiic on the street above the roof of the subway is supported by the largest "P' beams made ini Canada. They weigh 300 lbs. per foot. Relcasing mare statistics, Mr. Baker said 1,400,00 yards of earth will have been removed fromn the subway trench when the job is completed. He also said an east- west subway running alang Queen St. is cantemplated in the future. In this connection, a subway sta- tion at the corner af Qucen and Yongc Sts. bas been constructed although it will nat be braught into use until the east-west line is built, probably some time within the next 12 years. Close Te Surface While most subways arc buil deep in the ground, the Yonge St subway is being built close ta th( surface. Mr. Baker explaine( this difference by reierring ta th( fact that the flow ai passenger bath an and off subway train will came fram street level. H. said time is saved by close ta th( surface construction. Concluding bis address, th( speaker told Rotarians cars usec in the rapid transit system wi]' be considerably wider than th( street cars in use today. Th( present 8' 3" width will be ex. tended ta 10' be said. Furthcx subway trains will run in two. car units and as traffie builda ur will run in eight-car trains. The speaker was thanked fai bis interesting address by Rotar. ian Dr. Howard Rundie. "WE have follawed past happenings ai the T.T.C. closely," Dr. RundlE said, "and we are ahla oking for. ward ta aur iirst ride on the sub. way.") Guest at the meeting was How. ard Pickard af Bowmanvillc Architecture In Gardening Change With Modern Homes Gardening fashions change with changes in architecture anc living habits. Sa, with the in- creasing use af the automobile ir winter and the advent af the "ranch bouse" on 50 foot lats, aur ideas af suitable planting must change. The principles af using plants ta extend the lines af the house so that bouse and garden farm ane harmaniaus picture and of praviding special interest at stra- tegie paints, stili hold firm, says R. W. Oliver, Division af Horti- culture. Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. The anly change rcornes in the type and size af plan use toachieve the end resuit. Winter driving requires snow ta be piled high near drives and streets. Evergreen plantings, ex- cept a few law apreaders like Japanese yew and harizantal juniper, will flot stand such treatment. Instead af groups af taîl or middle beight shrubs at the corners of intersecting roads, we must now use low spreading shrubs, or herbaceous things like peonies. The most suitable hedge for such a spot is amur river pri- vet formerly considered too tend- er for any place colder than To- ronto. Tt is stili and snow piled on top acts as a good protection against Winter. Most af our farmerly popular shrubs are too tali ta be used around the low spreading, fiat- roofed bungalows that are being built. Planting may be donc furthcr from the walls ta avoid the drip from overhangîng eaves. Low mounded or spreading forms seem ta be more suitable than more erect ones. Among cvcrgreens the rounded forms of mugo pine and globe cedar, the spreading forms men- tioned above, and the broad pyra- mids ai dwarf varieties of spruce are the most suitable. The broad windows, close ta the ground require low spreading ground covers ta be used, such as pach:vsandra in shape or hori- zontal cotoncaster and Euonymus vegeta in sun. Low clipped hedges af barberry, Korean box or alpine currant are effective and match the bouse lines well. Small trees such as weeping mountain ash, camperdown elm, Japanese lilac and rasybloam crab, are most suitable but larger shade trees look out af propor- tion except at cansiderable dist- ance from the bouse. As with al changes, sa *ys Mr. Oliver, it wvi11 tax-e us sonie time ta adjust ouî-selves to these new fashions and in the rocess mis- takes inay Tu. t is always wîse ta plan carefully on paper before doing the ctual panting.

The British, following the same pattern, re- duced their fighting farces fram just aver 5 million in 1945 to 1,- 400,000 in 1947.
