In February, 1680, La Salle sent Hennepin with two companâ€" ions, to go down to the mouth of the Illinois River and out upon the Mississippi. On April 12, the party was taken prisoner by the Sioux Indians.

On January 20, 1679, La Salle arrived from Fort Frontenac (Kingston) and a site above the Falls was chosen for building a ship.

Metro Traffic Commissioner Sam Cass claims that most accidents at Metro crosswalks happen in the dayâ€" light hours. North York Alderman Murray Chusid lunched on soup and sandwiches at another marathon Metro welfare committee meeting last week. In beâ€" tween bites he argued with the two lady city controlâ€" lers. The North York alderman has made more speechâ€" es in Metro than the entire North York board of conâ€" trol combined. 5 Controller Paul Hunt couldn‘t attend a Metro parks committee session last week. Metro intends to prohibit pedestrians from crossing Lawrence Ave. on the west side of Little Ave. Parking will be prohibited on the north side of Eglinton Ave. between Caledonia Rd. and Sanderstead Ave. in York. The west end terminal of the Lawrence West bus route will be cut back from Martin Grove Road to Weston Road. A new Runnymede North bus route will operate northbound from the Runnymede subway station to Weston Road. The existing Scarlett Road bus service in York will be extended southerly to connect with the Runnymede subway station. The Chaplinâ€"bus route in the city may be extended by the TTC to serve the Glencairn Avenue section of North York, giving a direct connection to the Yonge subway line. . This route change will provide service to Jane St. between Lambton Ave. and Trethewey Dr. which is not currently served and the entire route would beâ€" come a major northâ€"south feeder line to the subway. To a limited degree some:York residents may be served by the proposed Lambton bus route which will run from High Park subway station along Dundas St. W. to Kipling. Ave. § The massive change of routes relating to the Bloorâ€"Danforth subway operation to a certain extent involves York and North York. Two branch routes will be operateéd on the west end of the Eglinton West bus route. One branch will operate along part of the existâ€" ing Trethewey route to Jane St. and Lawrence Ave. The second branch will be extended westerly on Egâ€" linton West to connect with the reorganized Jane bus service. Jane St. buses now run from the Jane loop on Bloor St. W. to Eglinton Ave. and Weston Rd. With the opening of the subway extension in December the Jane bus will rum straight north from the Jane subway station to about Steeles Ave. Silverthorn Ratepayers Association has sent a letâ€" ter to the TTC complaining about the Rogers Road streetâ€"car service. The association wonders why three and four street cars sit for a time in the Rogers Rd. loop. The TTC has promised to investigate, North Y"oxg( is fast getting the reputation of having the worst street lighting among the Metro boroughs. A top rating goes to York. _ Controller Philip White lost out with his idea of a hotel and motel room tax. It took North York Conâ€" troller Frank Watson to describe the idea as a nuisance tax to a Metro committee which rejected the proposal. Of course there are far more hotels in North York than in York. The borough of York has 42 portable classrooms in operation. North York has the largest capital spendâ€" ing program among the boroughs for 1967. It reaches $9,600,000, four times the amount York plans to spend this year. York Mayor Jack Mould was more than half serious last week when heâ€"told a surprised group of Metro mayors that the provinces of Canada should be abolished. His idea being only a municipal government and a federal government, something similar to the English system. For some reason Metro Chairman Wilâ€" liam Allen suspects that there is an amount of fat in the North York capital budget. North York Mayor Jim Service was in the U.S. last week and was unable to attend the Metro showâ€" down with the Metro school board. York‘s delegate to the new Metro library board which met for the first time last week is Douglas Cuthbert. North York‘s reâ€" presentative is Alderman Walter Cassels. The new board has already been asked to provide the local library boards with money for expansion of services. Last week the new board didn‘t have enough money to send out letters but they will probably end up with an initial budget of $350,000. York Mayor Jack Mould confirmed last week that thb-ugldYukhumeCmdhupor capita than the city of Toronto. Studies indicate that for the past 12 months North York has won the title of the fastest growing Metro municipality. The prize is the greatest school accommodation problem among the boroughs. North York currently has 229 portable classrooms in use which is 13 less than the number in the city. i Low Cost Mortgage Loans WHY OUR PLAN IS BEST: NO BONUS CHARGE OR HIDDEN FEES: With the Associates, you get a mortgage agreement that is crystal clear.

"By their fruits (lives) ye shall know To assess whether or not a perâ€" son belongs to Christ is not judgâ€" ing. It is just doing a little fruit inspecting which is authorized by For instance we would think it strange if a young man declared his love for a girl but did not spend any time in her company, bought her no gift and did not show any token of his love for her. We would think him queer because his love did not affect his life. It is also true of Christiâ€" anity. We may believe in Christ with our minds but if our hearts have not affectionately embraced Him and asked Him to rid our lives of those things that are disâ€" pleasing to Him then we have not received Him. We are truly in sympathy with His cause. Sometime later I heard. a lay preacher say that Christianity is a heart condition. Then I realâ€" ized that it is not only what we believe with our minds that counts but it is the way in which our heart affections dominate our lives that gives the true picture of what we really are. I was puzzled:; the person I was chatting with affinmed that she had received Christ but her life was full of things which Christ abhored. arome Mrs. Mildred Hartrick, the outâ€" going President, was presented with a Past Presidents Pin by Mrs. Rose Gifford and thanked for her valuable contribution to the life of Home and School at Lambton Park.
