Designed to. carry television programs and telephone calls' across the continent by 1958, the system--in- cluding spurs = will be 4,300 miles long, with 156 relay stations. It will link most major centres of "Canada from Sydney, N.S,, to Vancouver, B.C. Building this communications "sky- way" is a vast majority Fequiting ¥ many diverse skills. Peter Misnako- skang (upper left), a woodsman from Long Lac, is one of 356 Indians clear- | ing sites in Northern Ontarid. Trees must be cut, rock blasted and roads built before a relay station can be! established in this rugged terrain. | Skilled engineers determine the exact' route of the network by means of slender temporary test towers, such as this one (lower left) thrusting 200 feet skyward on a tentative site near Halifax, With the sites chosen, work | begins on the permanent station, The towers at each. location, ranging In height to 350 feet, will be topped by huge antenae resembling a giant sugar-scoop (upper right). The micro- waves are amplified at -efich station and relayed by the antennae to the next station in the system. Even as the towers are being erected, techni- cians work inside the = equipment buildings installing intricate electro- nic apparatus (lower right), Black and White _ Show at Port Perry A record entry of 150 animals has been received for the Annual Black & White Show to be held in connection with the Port Perry Fair, Labor Day, Sept. 5th.

To date there have heen 2,600 forest fires--almost double the total number of fires in 1954. The acreage burned over is more than the average for the last five years, but less than a third of the 1,000,000-acre Mississagi fires in 1948. More than one third of the timber was mature growth and 21 per cent immature while 3 per cent was slash. : The minister appealed to everyone to practice forest fire prevention. The forest fire danger in the province con- tinues high, and there are two months in the season'still to go, he said, Danger Increasing Only five per gent of, the 1,600 fives reached major proportions he added. This was due to excellent work in fire detection and suppression by the de- partment of lands and forests. He praised the work of 'everyone in the fire area, but emphasized the conditions were still far from normal, Usually there is a period during July and 'August when the fire hazard abates due to the presence of green vegetation and normal rain. This is followed by a drying out period and rising danger in the fall. Now we are into autumn conditions due to éxtreme drought and still no sign of a definite change, said Mr. Mapledoram. . a7 3 3 Prince Albert , Mrs. W, Ecclestone of Toronto spent the week-end with Mrs, McKerihan, | Miss Marion.Davey visited a week with cousins near Uxbridge, Mr. and Mrs. P.

The judgment awarded $18,000 to the Fred DeNure Bus Lines Limited and a total of $23, 000 to Garton Coach Lines. Both sums are to be paid by the city, which was also assessed costs of the board's fees and the court report- er's fees amounting to $267.90. City Council referred the matter to the finance and traffic committee after F. G. McNeely, city solicitor, read the board's decision. The applications for compensation by the transport companies were heard separately by the board here last May 25 and 26. } Council asked the finance and traf- fic committees to study the possibility of an appeal. The DeNure Line, in its appleation, claimed the loss of business resulting from extension of the Oshawa Railway Company service into annexed areas at the request of the city. ~ The city directed the ORC last Jan- uary 24th to extend its bus service to derve residents of the former East Whitby area annexed in 1951. DeNure provided excellent. bus ser- vice to this area, and was in operation before the area was annexed in 1951 and had continued to give good service ig up until the time the Oshawa Street - Railway "Co. extended 'their lines into this area early this year. - The text of the board's decision in the DeNure case follows: The applicant is the holder of an operating license under "The Public Vehicles Act" and alleges that it is adversely affected by annexation by Oshawa City corporation of adjoining lands in township of East Whitby by an order of the Municipal Board dated November 9th, 1950, As a result of the annexation, the muncipal boundaries of the city were extended northerly from the former limit of Rossland Road, by a distance of approximately two miles. The ap- plicant and its predecessor have been engaged continuously in the business of transportation. of passengers and express parcels since 1952 between Port Perry and Oshawa, under a license issued by the Ontario depart- ment of highways. Such licenses-are based. on certificates of public neces- sity and convenience from the Muni- cipal Board following public hearings at which interested parties appear. In the annexed area, the applicant has been picking up and discharging passengers, in accordance with its licence. No other license to.do so has | been issued by the department of high-! ways. An Application by the Oshawa Railway Company (a subsidiary of the Canadian National Railways) for an extension to operate into the affected area was dismissed by the Municipal Board in 1947. Thus the applicant en- joyed exclusive operating author ity in the portion of the annexed. area until March 14th, 1956. . i Brooklin Wins, 17. 2 Once again displaying the top form which has earned them their first po- sition berth in the Ontario Minor La- cosse Lakeshore League, the Brooklin Bantams overran Alderwood to the tune of 17-2 in a Bantam Lacrosse tilt in Brooklin last week. " Brooklin, who has not lost a game so far this season, moved to the front early in the schedule and has continued to increase, their lead with every game, Brampton in second place and the only close contender to Brooklin, came close to handing the Bantam Dodgers thelr first defeat last Friday in Brampton, when they came from behind to tie the score in the final minutes of the game, Brooklin took command of the play and completeiy overpowered Alder- wood in the first half of the game, to pile up a 13-0 lead by half time. Alderwood's defence started working in the third stanza and the visitors cut down the Brooklin scoring to 3 goals. Alderwood dominated the play in the final quarter and set the pace. with a fast offensive which gave the Brooklin net minder plenty of action. A Brooklin penalty in this fast-moving final frame gave the Alderwood crew the break they were looking for and Ed Hutzel triggered in two counters in less than a minute. Murray Ross and Gord Holliday set the pace for the Brooklin marksmen, each scoring four goals. Ken Ross and Elmer Tran each scored the hat trick while singletons were netted by Mike Gray, John Labonovich and Tim Gray, Assistance was given the scor- ers by Bill Asling and Gord Hunter. What" s Wrong With Canadian a lol Canadian children are being corrup- ted by radio, television and the mo- vies, charges Miss Evelyn McDonald, former high school teacher, in an ar- ticle in the September issue of Cana- dian Homes and Gardens. Teenagers "indulge in frequent ex- hibitions of bad manners . . . they can cheat, lie and steal with relative Im- punity for such dishonesty no longer seems to bring heavy penalties," Miss McDonald says in the article, "What's Wrong With the Canadian Parent?" Miss McDonald lays the blame for the problem squarley at the feet of parents. She suggests that parents should restrict the time their children spend on television, movies and radio because she says a false set 'of moral standards are propagated through these means. In "What's Wrong With the Canadian Parent?" she makes an elequent plea for a stiffening of the ethical standards in Canadian homes as the surest way to eliminate the complaints against today's teenagers. From her experience in teaching two generations of high school stutents ant listening to their problems, she concludes: "The character and abilities of students todayfare about the same as they have always been."- But, she adds, teenagers learn by the example they see in their own homes. "Par- ents should teach their children to be honest but many people who demand the comfort and security of good gov- ernment cheat on their income tax re- turns. : "Parents can do-more than anyone else to imbue their children with bet- ter standards," the Canadian Homes and Gardens article states, Another Child Has Narrow Escape Drivers of autos are pleading that * parents will drill their children con- stantly regarding the necessity of watching BOTH ways and waiting until there is time to cross the road, Several children have had very close calls this summer, and except for the fact that a good alert driver was at the wheel of the car there would surely have been some very serious accidents. This summer hag seen more close calls reported than during any previous year. Only yesterday a young lad was tossed some 10 or 16 feet when he suddenly appeared from behind a bus parked on Queen St., Port Perry, The driver of the car had only sec- still, and fortunately for the lad the car was noving slowly or he would certainly have been run down, ag it was he was somewhat bruised and shaken up. It is so easy to forget the warn- ings when the children are away playing most of these lovely bright "days, but it is also so easy for the child to forget, especially as they so. rarely understand just what it means, One more lad at least has learned that lesson, but next time it might be your child , . | and it might he too late. .
