E ..main_ sections in which the Town's . with an increase from 8.731 to 9.276; Council Sets Rate of 57 Mills By Reductions in General Levy pite increases in expenditures in most civie' departments, the Whit- by Town Council last week-end de- clared a 'mill rate of 657 for 1958. This is a reduction of .2 of a mill on each dollar of assessment. On a house assessed for four thousand dol- lars, the reduction is about 80 cents, It is the fifth consecutive year that the mill rate has been reduced. In 1964 the rate was 62.82 mills, With increases in three of the four tax expenditures are divided, the council lopped nearly three mills oft the general rates section. This is the section that provides money for expenditures on administration and the general business of maintaining town-owned property. The other three sections are, the county rate public and separate school rates from 16.16 to 18.6256; and the high school rate with the largest jump of all, from 8.001 mills to 9.3. The total increase in_the 8 sections of the mill rate not directly controlled by the Town Council amounts to 2.218 mills. On the other hand; the Council cut its own expenses so that there is a charge of 2.418 mills less, on residen- tial assessment, and 2.61 mills on in- dustrial assessment. The difference between the residential and the in- dustrial commercial assessments is a result of grants from the province which apply only to residential pro- perty. This year the town will collect taxes from property assessed at 'EVERYTHING IS 100% GUARANTEED AT OMINI $12,300,280 as compared to $10,854, 640 in 1957, This increase also as- sists in maintaining a lower mill rate in the: face of rising costs.

Seed Judging Competition Plans have now been completed for the Annual Ontario County Seed Judg- ing Competition to be held in the High School at Port Perry, on Saturday, March 29th. Mr. Alvin Blades, Assistant Agri- culturgl Representative in Ontario Co., has been conducted coaching classes in the High Schools in the county. Since the competition is on a Saturday it is hoped that a large number of farm boys who are attending high school will take advantage of this Seed Judging Competition to add to their knowledge of good seed. "The Seed Judging Competition is under the Direction of H. L. Fair, the Agricultural Representative. The judges for the various classes will be the Agricultural Representatives from neighbouring counties. The competition is divided into a Junior and Senior Section. This means that the Junior and less ex- perienced boys will not be required to compete against the older and more experienced contstants. Generous prize money is being" of - fered. There are trophies for the winners in most of the classes. A special invitation is extended to all farm boys to take part in this Seed Judging Competition at Port Perry High School, Saturday, March 29th. 'Employment Campaign The National Employment Service at Oshawa has for the past three months been engaged in the Campaign to reduce unemployment, and in the local office area the Oshawa Employ- ment Advisory Committee, along with the officers of the National Employ- ment Service been responsible for much advertising on this project. This .campaign has. been endorsed by his Worship Mayor Lyman Gifford of Oshawa, all Service Clubs, Trade "Union * Organizations, Veterans Or- ganizations and Religious Groups. The purpose of the Committee through this campaign is to assist all con- cerned in devising ways and means of reducing the ill effect of unemploy- ment. : At this time of the year with con- struction reduced, carpenters, plumb- ers, plasterers, painters, decorators and electricians, and all those involved in building and finishing houses, apartments and business establish- ments usually have fewer jobs on hand. y As a householder or business man or woman, this can be to your advan- tage from several points of view. In the summer, when demands are heavy for these skilled workers, you may have to wait for your work to be done. Further, you may find you can get your work done only at a time when it conflicts with your other plans. During the winter and spring months you have a better chance of getting your job done at your convenience, at the time you want your job done. Al- so, the work done now can often re- ceive more attention and can be better _| planned. You can help yourself and at same time help your community. Let's all join in this community pro- ject, your National Employment Ser- vice will be glad to provide you with any further information you require on this important matter. Please telephone RA 65-3581 for the help you need, and remember, "when every- body works, everybody benefits". Why wait! have that job done now. Sew and Save $$$ The first Ontario County Summary Day for "Sew and Save Dollars and Make Sense" was held Tuesday after- noon, March 18th in the Legion Hall, Uxbridge. The Local Leaders' Train- ing School is a new addition to the Senior Program offered by the Home Economics Service of the Extension Branch of the Ontario Department of Agriculture. . Early in December the two day Local Leaders Training School was conducted in Uxbridge by Miss Dora Burke, Clothing Specialist from the Home Economics Service in Toronto. Nine groups from all over the county were each represented by a leader and assistant leader. Some simple "Tricks" and techniques of sewing were taught. Suggestions were given. for articles which could be made with small a- mounts of material and a minimum of time and cffort. The leaders then re- turned to the local community and gave the information to their local group, Eighty-two women attended the Summary Day. Each group modelled their accomplishments as part of the Summary Day program. These included children's summer dresses and sunsuits, aprons of var- ious styles and a number of mother and daughter outfits. The main con- struction feature was the bias bind- ing. Chairman for the program was Mrs. Lloyd Profit, Zephyr. Miss Wilda Gordon, County Home Economist was in charge of the Day. Miss Dora W. Burke, Clothing Specialist attended, and gave leadership to the group, complimenting them for their efforts and encouraged them to continue the work in their districts. The ladies had an select a Local opportunity to Leaders' Training School for next year. It is hoped that free on request.

JHE GOOD DRINER Tt Takes Skill fo be "a Good Driver Skill is the one 'essential of good driving that the new driver thinks all-important, He concentrates jeal- ously--and self-consciously -- -on the acquisition and demonstration of skill. He seldom puts any conscious effort into the development of the other Habits, Knowledge; points out the On- tario Safety League. i Obviously, skill is important in cor- rect driving. But unless it is accom- panied and balanced by the other 3 elements it c&n be a handicap rather than an asset. + It takes skill, of a kind, to drive at 60 m,p.h. only a few feet behind an- other car in the passing lane; to take corners at near-roll-over speeds; to cut in and out of traffic with only inches to spare. The ability to do these things is desirable; the perform- ance of them, except possibly in an emergency, is criminal. The mature driver shows his skill in quiet, inconspicuous efficiency. In smooth, unhurried operating; exact road-positioning at all times; help- fulness to other road users, and mis- users; complete control in every ex- isting, or potential situation. Maturity is mainly a state of mind. The mature driver can be of any age, from sixteen up. ' \ good-driving essentials . . Attitudes, | esse.
