- a - rn r~- S~r Curtai*n.corne«sDown on Whyteliaven By Editor John M. James 1 was sitting in my car at WhYte- haven on Friday evening when the curtain came down,- temporarily at least, on Mom Whyte's operations - the only newspaperman on the scene. At five minutes to eight. two cars came into the yard and four stern- faced men and one woman walked to the office, after asking one of the belp- ers where 1Mrs. Whyte was. Seconds later, one of the girls on the staff ran across the yard to the recently erected building where Mr. Whyte was trying to snatch somne sleep before going to work on the il o clock shi,*ft at Goodyear. He came running and I grabbed my camera- and Ieft the car, knowing full wel that sonething extremnely important- was happening. Little did 1 suspect the full extent of the pageant*which was about to unfold. A door burst'open and -Mom Whyte came running out, tears streaming down her face. "They're taking my babies," she cried as she leaped into her car and tore out the driveway. The news spread like wildf ire and soon there was wailing from one of the dormitories. It grew in volume as more youngsters joined in the sad chorus. In the meantime, members of the maie staff were gathering their own children together, but -only one -chap shouted to the, unwelcome. visitors "Why don't you go home and leave us alone?" There was no panic. only bewilderment on the faces of the youngsters who, couldn't quite under- stand what was going on., Dr. W. Gordon Brown, Deputy Minister of Health, told'me that the decision to evacuate the babies had been his. The Welfare Departinent had acted on the decision of Wm. H. Bury, flirector of Child Welf are,' and the legalities had been taken care of through the Attorney General's office. Mr. Bury said that ail children. except those who were members of the Whyte family or whose parents were living at Whytehaven would be 'taken away .and lodged in Children's Aid cenitres fromn Port Hope to Hamnil- ton. The il would go to hospitals. Dr. Brown also stated that since arriving theyý had found a f ew more cases of gastro enteritis axnong the babies, a condition which could spread like wildfire and be disastrous under conditions. at the home. His 'reason for taking action so suddenly was that he refused to accept the responsibility of leaving -babies in -the home where they could die very quickly. He didn't want to have their deaths on his conscience, if he could prevent it. The situation had become impossible, he said. I,..~uuIjJIaea OU nagp ~Ç 1.

While digging i the garden that lias been cultivated repeatedly for about 20 years, he unearthed a penny token dated 1854 of the Bank of Upper Canada. Since this was the same year this newspaper was established, we, of course, were especially interested in the discov- ery.t BETTER PAIr UP - Several townspeople who have ignored council's requests for payment of back taxes on their properties and -business found thernselves in hot water this week. Clerk Bob Reynolds handed the matter over to the courts. This brought fast action from most of the delinquents. 1t t i .t t 1t IIORSES ARE RUNNING - For tiiose who like to follow the ponies, we received news this week of a big meet at Peterborough on Saturday, August lSth. If you have a horse you haven't been working too hard on the farm, this could be your opportunity to convert him into a harness racer. The purses are large and the entries are expected to be many. Strictly for spectators, with surplus funds, there will be wager- ing on ail events. t t t.- t t WHERE'S MY B LANKET - At Mom Whyte's Haven on Friday night, one of the -smaller youngsters was quite wvorried; flot about where she was going, but something else.

VOTE COMING UP' - Returning Officer Robert Reynolds has already started to work, revising polling places, lining up personnel, etc., for the liquor vote which will be held here Sept. 3th. Citizens wîll cast two ballots on a license for dining and cocktail lounige. To date, there has been no sign of activity among workers for either side, but probably the campaign will start in earnest early in September. It will be recalled that, last year's vote was thrown out due to irregularities. t f tt TRUSTING SOULS - Something new is now i effect at Brooks' Orchland Farms, west of Bowmnanville. They have installed a self-serve in eggs. You drop into the place, pick up your eggs which are marked with grade and price, make your own change if need be, anid leave on your merry way.
