This traffic di- verted from the Lake Shore, Road just-meant the Queen Street Road has been destroyed. This road under or- dinary conditions would have stood up for another four or five years. The extra diverted traffic was at least 25 times greater than the normal traf- fic. The Etobicoke also backs up the residents in their contention. On Tuesday, February 26th, the Peel Rural Deanery will meet in St. James' Church, Humber Bay. Rev. Canon William Walsh of Brampton in charge. A discussion on Bible class and A.Y.P.A. work will be the prinei- pal features. Mr. John Kerr ot Streetsville and Mr. S. Wilson of Wes- ton Will be the speakers. Celebration of holy communion at 8 a.m., chapter meeting at 10 a.m.; conference at 2 p.m., and evensong service at 8 p.m. All delegates will be entertained. A cordial invitation to all interested in the work to come and enjoy the meet, ings. 7 The Commission feel that, while it was necessary to keep traffic off the highway during the laying of the pavement, they did not necessarily compel people to use another road. They also feel they should not be called upon-to pay any if the main- tenance moneys required to improve the road. The Humber Bay school is one ot the most progressive in this section of the county. Its sucecss is due first to the teachers and especially the prin-. cipal, Mr. \Valter Moorehouse, and es- pecially as a sequence to the first, the Spirit of unity among the' scholars. Such a move on the part of the Commission .would be only the be- ginning of other sections of the high- way coming forward and demanding maintenance funds for the use of roads in Mimico, New Toronto, the Dixie road, O'Connor's road, the Centre road at Port Credit, etc. The people on the highway are also very much against any move of this kind on the part of the Commission, and think that the maintenance of Queen Street should be cared for locally. Everyone is prepared to admit that the road is badly in need of repair. \Vant Ditches Filled in Engineer Van Scoyac stated Juyster- day that the Commission have no in- tention of forcing the matter of till: ing in the ditches and laying a tile drain and curb, if the residents pre- fer the open ditch to any further ex- Dense. He also stated that any offers made to ratepayers en route tor the intsallation of the tile, drain would not hold good now, as approximately one-third of the expense- had been used for the present work. Fully one- half of the highway has been equip- ped with the closed drain, in some cases it was put in at the personal expense of the residents, and in all cases has been a local improvement, consequently the persons and munici- palities who have already paid, object to the rest of the highway getting the improvement at the expense of the whole road. The heads of the mud- icipalities en route also think that the townships should look after their sec- tions of the road. _ $4,000 Should Be Limit Humber ratepayers are anxious about their share ot%xpense, and It anyerelief is going to come in connec- tion with taxing the few people occu- pying the wedge of land between the G.T.R. right of way and the lake, which takes in a miei of the high- way at the Toronto approach. Deputy Reeve Jackson, of the Etobicoke Council, stated that they were not kicking about the original estimate of $4,000 a, mile, which was to be Etohi- coke's share in the construction of the road, but that $4,000 a mile should be the limit for the township. Mr. Moorehouse is not the princi- pal ot the school only. He has an ambition to man men and women of all who come under his authority. He imparts not only learning but a prac~ tical application of that learning. Above all he brings before them the true ideals of lite. It is this person- a1 work that makes his efforts of so much moment and develops the Hum-. her school spirit. This spirft is what is making and will make this school a main Factor of life in Humber Bay district. On Friday evening Mr. J. L. Mc- Pherson gave an/interesting lecture on "Where the Banana is King" at the Humber Bay public school on Fri- day night, when the auditorium was crowded with pupils and parents, who thoroughly enjgyed the lecture. The proceedg will go towards the Victory bond which the school took out last November. You can't beat an organized effort like this. It will develop the noblest and highest type of citizen. The weather is very trying to one who has to wait as you always do at the Humber for a car. There Is no shelter at all. When you face a cold wind, rain or snow tor halt an hour it is dangerous to one’s health. The company we know have stated that they will build a shelter. It is up to the Township council to locate the po- sition ot this shelter. Yet in so much it is only a step, it always takes a long time to get started. The summer will be here and gone before it is erected. It is not practical to make arrange- ments for the use ot the refreshment booths at the corner. Tthis would be a real step at once. It is necessary that some such move be taken. _ [IVE NEWS ITEMS (lf THE [AKE Sliflllli, [l Make an effort to attend the meet- ing at St. James' Church, Humber Bay.

MIMICO, NEW TORONTO AND LAKE SHORE EDITION LAKE SHORE ROAD IIUMBER BAY THE TIMES & GUIDE, WESTON, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1918 , N Pte. Londsberry, invalided home on account of wounds received on active service at the front, arrived in Mimi- co Sunday night, Pte. Lou Jarvis, a Mimico boy, who enlisted under age, has been returned after some months' training in Eng- land, as too young for overseas ser- vice. Owing to the heavy travelling on the Lake Shore Road last Saturday night a. Dodge car became overheated and as a result took fire and was com- pletely destroyed. The Mimico Electrical Department has been very successful during the past two days with their apparatus for thawing out pipes. It was first put into operation on Monday and pipes frozen for? the past week were S00I1 in working order. Dr. Godfrey at the Provincial Leg- islature meeting this week voiced a protest against an increase of salary given the baker at Toronto Insane Asylum and not to then baker at Mi- mico Asylum. He also advised the establishing of a, reception hospital in the pr6vince tor returned men. It was not fair, he said, to send returned patients from the outlying sections of the province direct to an insane asylum, while Toronto men were first given treatment at a reception hos- pital. What do you think of this? Some arrangements should bemade in Mi- mico to give our boys a public wel- come when they return home. They have gone and left all lor our pro- tection. These men hare given the very best that is in them. Some re- turn home with only a casual wel- come on the street. The big trouble is that nobody has given it "a, thought. A reception committee should be formed. All the boys who have return- ed should receive a public welcome from the town. It is the least that we can do. Show the boys th'at their home town does appreciate what they did. At present there are a doz- en or more boys who have returned. A very enjoyable evening, could be arranged. It just takes someone to set the ball rolling. v Another of our boys arrived home on Sunday night, Pte. Ernest Brown. He went across two years ago with the Wh Battalion. He served on the French and Belgian fronts and was wounded with shrapnel in the shoul- der. After spending months in the hospital he has been sent home. While he has the use of the arm and shoul- der, he will not go backegain. It was a great and pleasant sur- prise to his parents, who did not know of his home coming until he sent a telegram trdm Halifax. Water ison again. By dint of hard work the Water main on the Lake Shore between stop 13 and 10 is again in running order. It has taken a lot of time to fix it, but the job is now well done. Several loads ot manure has been spread over the top of the pipes. This will prevent any more trouble this'winter, The York Rad- ial should be the ones who should foot the bill. It was their work that caused all the damage. By removing the earth for making the new road bed they exposed the pipe, leaving on- ly a foot or so ot earth. Still the town will have to bear the expense. ‘ On Thursday evening the members of Connaught Lodge, A.F. & A.M., held a very successful meeting. About 25 members of St. John's Lodge, To- ronto, paid Mimico a fraternal Visit. w. Bro. Hayden gave a very fine ex- planation of the different parts of the order during the fourth. W. Bro. Body of St. John's also made some very flattering remarks to the local lodge. _ The Provincial Secretary explained that at present each insane asylum has its own reception hospital, and that as long as patients receive pro- per treatment it matters not in what institution they are confined. The in- ciden was closed with a promise from Sir William Hearst that the matter would be given consideration by the Government. What about our building by-law? As the springtime approaches is it not now the time to see about a build- ing by-law for Mimico? This mat- ter has been before the council on many occasions. Drafts have been spoken ot, yet nothing has been done. At present there are no restrictions to anyone building. Mimico holds a un- ique position along the Lake Shore. It is not a manufacturing centre, but a residential centre. It is situat- ed between the great city on the east and the new industrial centre on the west. Thus a big future awaits Mi- mico if it is laid out carefully and proper buildings erected in the dif- ferent sections. All this can be se- cured by a carefully worded building by-law. The Board of Trade and the council could get together and work this out. It would be a splendid night's work for the council to accom- plish. ,. At the present time of writing the streets of Mimico are in a very im- passible condition. Ice and snow has made it thus. A little sand put on this would relieve the town of some damages that are likely to occur it any accident occurs. It would not re- quire much and yet Would mean the saving of dollars to our town. The Emery War Auxiliary take this opportunity of publicly expressing their appreciation and thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Fred Pearson for their gen- erous donation of $25 to the Society, which amount brought January mon- ey collections up to a total of $50.60. During.the month $5irAirwas expend- ed tor yarn and other material. 42 pairs of socks were knit besides a quantity or Red Cross and Belgian Rene: work. MIMICO EMERY and Violin”. County Constable W. Myers was called to New Toronto, Seyenth St., on Thursday afternoon. It was to in- vestigate the loss of $190.00. Mr. Geo. Cufman, a Polack, who had re- cently been employed at the Brass Rolling Mills, boarded at Charles Bin- askook's house, on Seventh Street. He stated that he left $160 in one pocket and $30 in another pocket when he re- tired, and the money was not there in the morning. Cufman missed the money early Thursday morning, but did not advise until late in the after- noon., He gave the constable the number of all the bills which have been lost. When asked what all the other numbers were, he stated that was other money that he did not lose. These Pollocks carry too much loose money about their person for safety. They should be compelled to bank it. Thus the county would get the use of it again, With four hundred to one thousand dollars tied up this way it means, a loss to the country. Cuf- man will not likely get his money -back again. The constable could get no clue. On Friday last during the flood of water someone undertook to remove the covers of the manholes between 5th and 9th Street on the Lake Shore Road. This was done to let the water away from the railway tracks. In removing the tops several bricks were knocked off and the whole system was temporarily overfilled. The wa- ter came up to within one-half inch ot the motors at the pumping station. It is claimed by the citizens of New Toronto that the radial line is running past the streets without giv- ing the bell warning. Now this is a most serious accusation. Should an accident occur it would go very hard with the company. When the public state that these cars run past the New Toronto stations at a high rate of speed and do not sound the gong, this is a matter for the offi, cials to look Into. . Andrew Craig, the new village road commissioner, has had considerable difficulty during the recent thaw in getting the water away without dam- age to property. The land at New Toronto is fairly flat, although there is a gradual 15-foot drop from. the Now this sewer was never construct- ed as a storm sewer. It is not built to take care of the spring floods or rushes of water such aspire had on Friday. The engineer did not give authority to have these sewers open. It was employees of the radial line that did it. Now what right have they to open these sewers? They have none and should be thus informed, R. Wand- has taken the position at the pump house of the extra, man ask- ed for by Superintendent Hugh Thom- as, in order to make three eight-hour shifts. Approximately 1,300,000 gal- Ions of water are pumped daily for the village. Last year the municipality spent $50,000 in improving the water- works system. Members of West Point Lodge, I.O. O.F., are going to attend the degree lodge on Thursday night at the Col- lege Street temple. Several new members will get their second and third on that night. " G.T.R. tracks to the lake. Many ot the roads have bad mats, but these will be fixed up to some extent this spring, when the 200 loads of earth purchased from the Highway Com- mission off the Lake Shore Road, at from ten to twenty"cents a load, are distributed to advantage. It is unfor- tunate there is not more of it, as some of the roads are badly inieed of im- provement. It is a very deplorable state of things that the equipment of the York Radial is in if all reports are true. As you sit back and listen to the re~ ports from the men between Long Branch and Humber Bay you realize that there must be something wrong. You hear them tell of the bad road bed, how the tracks are not safe, the road bed not ballasted enough. The cars are little or no better in many instances. They tell of the gear fail, ing out of one of the cars on Smith's switchlast week. A good overhaul- ing ot officials, men and equipment Is any action being taken to find out where the town stands as regards the twenty feet on the north side of the Lake Shore Road. This question should be brought before the govern- ment during the present session. Changes will be made in the Toronto and Hamilton Highway Commission bill. Is not now the opportune time to find out just what this clause means. At present this twenty feet is owned by the present owners. They can pay the taxes but not use it. Some decision should be given. The high- way should either take the twenty feet over or give up all claims to this piece of land. It is a matter that should be clearly presented before the new legislation is passed. On Tuesday, February 12th, the marriage took place very quietly at Crawford Street Methodist Church Parsonage, Toronto, of Laura May, eldest daughter of Mr. George Dixon, Weston, to Charles Elmer, eldest son of Thos. Piercey, Macville. Rev. G. ll. Purchase, pastor of Crawford St. Church, conducted the ceremony. The bride was attired in a. gown of navy blue silk. After the ceremony the happy couple left for Burlington, On- tario. On their return will visit among friends. In the spring they will reside on Mr. Geo. Wilson's farm, 3rd line, Chinguacousy Township, Peel County. Mr. Wesley Grafton and his sister, Mrs. Adams (nee Maggie Grafton) has been renewing old acquaintances with their many friends in Weston might bring out a line that would be of some help to the community. N mv TORONTO Pierces-Dixon fff The Teacher Training Class will meet in the Methodist scho’ol room on Thursday evening and commence the study of the fourth and last book of the series, "The Teachers' Study of the Life of Christ." Rev. IV. C. Holds- worth will conduct the course. Devotional services were held un- der the auspices of the A.Y.P.A. in St. George's school room on Monday evening. Mr. Cecil Allen was in charge. A very interesting and pro- fitable talk relative to the Lenten sea- son and the great opportunity it af- forded the church to realize the true ideals of life. It was decided by the Society to hold a congregational so- cial on Easter Monday. Despite the unfavorable weather conditions on Thursday evening, Feb- ruary 14th, the Islington Women's .In- stitute held a very successful Valen- tine social at the home of Mrs. B. Johnston, over one hundred being present. The programme consisted of patriotic songs given by the Miss- es Silverthorne and friends, also solo and choruses by Mrs. Lambie and friends. Mr. S. C. Johnston, director of the Provincial Government Agri- cultural Bureau gave a short lecture and demonstration. The Horticultural Society of Wes- ton is to be congratulated upon its up-to-date methods. Realizing that every person would soon be looking for good reliable garden seeds, the Society has made arrangements with one of the largest and most reliable seed firms in Canada so that every one can be sure ot a supply of tested seeds, true to name, having the high- est percentage of germination. The Horticultural Society meeting this week Thursday night will be held in the Red- Cross rooms, Bank of Nova Scotia, building. This is a very important meeting and every di- rector is expected to be present as matters of great importance will be under consideration. It is well to remember that seed firms are most particular to supply only the best quality of seeds to a, Horticultural Society, as they know they are dealing with people who know seeds. Before procuring your supply of garden seeds this spring we recommend you to find out what the Weston Horticultural Society can do. ALL SIZES The" Hodgson Hand- made Boot at $6.00 PLACE THAT ORDER FOR is not a dress boot, but is made for men for general. purpose wear. It has all the solidity and honest hand work that kept our fathers immune from broken arches and other foot trou- bles. At the same time it is built on a last which gives it all the snap and style of the up-to-the-minute boot and with lines which guarantee absolute foot comfort. If the old method of making was followed instead of my system, I would be compelled to get from $8.00 to $10.00 for this boot. ._ Hodgson THE SHOE Fi7i7i7 Office Open Every Day, Starting Friday, " February First All News Items Will be Received at This Office for the Paper.

After a general discussion of ways and means it was decided to pe- tition the Minister of Public Works to provide legislation whereby trac- tors purchased before January lst, 1918, and legistered before July lst, 1918, should be exempt from penal- ties under the Act. As several farm-. ers have not threshed their 1917 crop, it was felt that nothing should be done to interfere with the 1918 threshing.
