On Saturday the Brampton High School girl-s came down with a, large following to play hockey against the Weston High School girls. The Wes- ton girls met the train and tookthe visiting team over to the High School, and from there they pro- ceeded to the Weston covered rink. The game, While not fast, showed a lack of decision on the part of the girls to do the right thing at the right moment. Games of this de- scription educate the girls to use eyes, brains and muscles, also to act quickly. The Weston girls were bet- ter skaters and showed a better knowledge of the rulesrot the game. Miss Jean Hutchinson was the star skater and stick handler of the day. Repeatedly she worked through the opposing seven and went right in to goal. Score was 3-ty in favor of Nyes- ton, The delegation which represented Etobicoke, Mimico‘and New Toronto at Ottawa received a trocurN'eeeption from the Minister of Railways and Canals. They lodged their complaint against the Toronto-Niagara Power Company, whose petition tor electrical extension was before the Minister. The Power Company were well represent- ed by Mr: McCarthy and R. J. Flam; ing. They pointed out the company, operating under a. Dominion charter granted 18 years ago, had the right to go wherever they wanted to. It was only the official duty‘of the 'min-» ister to sanction their application. Again, they claimed that as the. pion- eer company of electricity in Ontario, they_had done all the pioneer work and were entitled to some considers. tion. As considerable English capi- tal was invested in the company they felt it-was the duty of the government to grant the right of Way. A large party of Weston Epworth Leaguers paid a fraternal visit to High Park Methodist ‘Church So- ciety on Monday evening, providing the musical and literary'part of the programme. Mr. Kellam, the pre- siding chairman, called upon Dr. Long for the devotional exercises. Mr. A. L. Campbell gave a, very inspiring ad- dress on Heroism. Miss B. Hill and tMiss B. MacKum contributed some vocal selections. Misses Alma Chap- man and Pearl Kolberg gave an in- strumental duet, and a violin duet was given by the two little Hyslop girls, all of which were very much appreciated.' At the close of the programme the High Park friends put on.a flower contest, in which visi, tor and entertainer participated in. After a pleasant half hour spent in this manner, all adjourned to the supper room, where a very appetising and dainty lunch was served. Be- fore leaving for home the 'Weston people tendered a vote of thanks to the High Park friends for their hospi- tality. On Wednesday, March 8th, the next issue of our paper, we intend sending teiopies up through Woodbridge and Vaughan. All news items of these districts will be given prominence, Our purpose isto have the paper in every home in West York. Help us in the work.. The delegation from each munici- pality showed most forcibly that the district was served by the Hydro Com- pany at present. They did not see Why any company should occupy their roads without the consent of the mun- icipality. The arguments put up were strong and were well received by the Minister. At present a. measure is be- ing prepared whereby all private companies operating under a govern- ment charter or not will have to re- ceive the consent of the municipality before they can go through that mun- icipality. This will be a, great Protec-' tion to the gdunieipalities. The Minis- ter will withhold his decision re the Toronto-Niagara Power Corupany's application for some time. The dele- gation are all well pleased with the attitude of the Minister regarding their case. , A special meeting of the Council was Called last Friday, the ques- tion to be cohsidered being the resig- nation of Mr. Padgett as auditor. He was elected at the last meeting of the council, but found he could not do the work lp the evening, as he had anticipated, so threw up the ap- appointment. R. C. Jennings was then appointed auditor tor 1917. It was the desire of most of the council to 'appoint Mr. Jennings at the first of the year, but others thought a local man was the proper person for the position. Two looal men were ap- pointed and both of these men have resigned. Miss Genevieve Lyons left for Guelph on Monday, where she is to sing for the Presto Musical Club and wilt be the guest of Mrs. Bruce Met- calfe. See liet"s ad. tdr a list of good bar gains this week. The fowl supper held by the lad- ies of the Old Presbyterian Church last Wednesday evening was a great- er success than ever. All expresged themselves as delighted with the sup- per and felt they had more than the price of” their ticket before going to enjoy .thLmllsical and literary, treat in the church. Special praise is due Mr. Harry StrickIand's orchestra tor the delightful music furnished dur- ing the time of supper, making the hours pass so quickly. No mention need be made of the: reception given the following artistii: Mr. Vaughan Beale, Mr. Roy, Mr. C. Lorne Fraser, Miss Stella Rowntree, Miss G. Lyons, Miss G. Rowntree, Mrs. Vaughan Beale. and the choir, as their ability is appreciated by any Weston audi- ence. Miss Ada Compton, elocutionist, who made her first appearance on a. Weston platform, won the hearts of all and will be heartily welcomed again. The proceeds amounted to about $175. THE POWER co.
