No inâ€" crease in the number of trains travelling through Westoa is anticipated at the moment, but it is expected the CPR will be able to offer better service from the use of the extra trick. At the same time, the CPR is putting in centralized train conâ€" trol between West Toronto and Bolton. This will allow despatchâ€" ers to operate the switches from a panel in Union Station, and thus control Weston train move ments from downtown. It is presumed that this will speed up switching service, and the CPR reports that the change has come about because of the expansion of industry in. the Weston area. Car Still Sought The Toronto Western Hospital reported at the time of release that the 16 year old son of Harâ€" ry Whiteley, Weston‘s Firestone store _ manager, . was . "doing fine".

Young Dave Whiteley, who was injured in a hit and run acâ€" cident nearly two weeks ago, was discharged from hospital on Tuesday.
