METERS Ill WWW At Irast, Relief '" The new addition to the Waterworks pumping station is pow practically completed, and the three new filters, each with a filtering capacittot 300 gallons per minute are set up, and will be connected in with the present system by Saturday of this" week. The tirstctilter will be in operation by Wednesday noon, and the remaining two by the end of the week. The two filters installed in 1910 when the plant was first put in opera-, tion were capable of handling up to 300 gallons of filtered water per min- ute, but owing to the increased de- mand upon the system the old filters, especially during the spring freshets, were taxed beyond their capacity. The Water, Power and Light Com- mission had hoped to have the new filters installed, and in operation be- fore the Humber was in flood this Spring, bat notwithstanding the fact that the work has been rushed, it was impossible to have the. filters, even the first of the battery of three, cut into the system ,before Wednesday noon of this week. _ When the five filters ate in opera- tion, they will be capable of deliver- ing up to 1200 gallons of pure filtered water per minute, and even when the Spring freshets ire on, with this ad- ditional filtering capacity, the plant will be capable of delivering pure tilt- ered water at all times Care For The Boys There is one feature of the great boys' ife in this town that has not been developed lo the full. It is very important in the development of the best type ot citizenship. It should re- ceive considerable more attention ot our church leaders and Sunday School teachers. It is this, every boy should have a proper place to encourage him to develop himself physically. A boy who has not the strong physical body is not in a position to cope as successfully with the affairs of life as the man who has had that opportun- ity. He 1inds that he has not the strength to carry out his plans. The boy who has a physical training has a great advantage over the boy who has not. He had learnt lo control the muscles of his body. His training has been such that he has developed his physical being so that it will give him a shell for the expansion along other lines. Again the boy who has some physical training to occupy him- self during the after school or working hour is,the boy that will. be out of mischief; Give the boy clean, proper recreation periodand you will solvel one of the greatest difficulties of building up a true ideal citizenship. Therefore, you can see that what is wanted in this town is a properly equipped grounds for summer athletic sports and a building for the winter Indoor meetings. This is something that requires time and money. "Bret: first ot all it wants leadership to put 1it over. Are the people interested enough in the boys to carry out ,a big plan for the boys, If so we should have the leaders of such getting to- gether. Tliisr4istrict is just teeming with boy life and there are great pos- sibilities before us. Cbuld not we do "something towards getting a start 'made in this line at once? C Big Meeting Saturday I On Saturday afternoon the annual meeting of the West York Conserva- tives will hold their annual meeting in Weston Town Hall. As this is a period ot reconstruction it is import- ant that everyone interested should be on hand. This is a period when reconstruction requires reorganization of forces. This will be the main topic at this meeting. Be-on hand to do all that is in your power towards this end The following gentlemen of the town have kindly donated the prizes for the big Horticultural Society drive: Ist prize, Dr. E. F. Irwin; 2nd prize, T. Ju. Moffat; 3rd prize, C. B. Miller; 4th prize, Reeve, J. M. Gardhouse; 5th Mayor Jim. Gardhouse; 6th, A. E. Mellish; 7th prize, C. Lorne Fraser;8th and 9th prizes, A. 7. Goulding; 1st and 2nd team prize, J. W. Gibson, C. WEST YORKS NEWSY WEEKLY WEDNESDAY, MARCH 26, 1919 Weston has put many great things l across but the greatest thing this year is the campaign that opens up to- night at 9.00. It has been under com- mittee organization for the last month. Everything has been gone over. Com- mittees, teams, prizes,' advertising ma- terial, circulars and speakers have all been arranged tor. It is one of the most ‘complete campaigns that has been organized in this town. Those engaged in the working out the de- tails feel that their objective will be reached and far surpassed, in fact the whole outlook is one of the brightest that has ever been started. The de- tails are these. The Weston Horticul- tural Society received the following two letters. , 5's J. M. Pearen, Esq., Secretary, Horticultural Soc., , Weston, Ont, Dear Sir:-- I enclose a, copy of correspondence I have received from Sir Harry J. Veitch, Hon. Treas. of the Royal Hor- ticultural Society War Relief Fund, in which he solicits active co-operation in assisting to raise money to help re- establish the orchards, gardens and plantations in those_parts of France, Belgium and Serbia which have been devastated by their enemies. A book for recording collections for this fund was sent to me, and as I have thought that the Horticultural Societies of Ontario would like to con- tribute something for this worthy object, I am drawing the attention of the President and Secretary .of each Society to it, and trust that at least a, small amount will be donated from the funds of the Society. lf the amount is sent to me I shall see that it is entered in the official collecting booklet which has been sent to me, and forwarded to headquarters. Your Sincerely, W. T. MACOUN, 10 Downing Street, September 3rd, 1918. L rejoice to hear that the Royal Horticultural Society has inaugurated a fund for restoring the gardens, small holdings and orchards ot our French, Belgian and Serbian Allies which have been ruthlessly devastated by the German invaders. - The fund commands my heartiest sympathy and I hope it will be gen; erously supported. Our Allies have had to endure ag- onies of invasion 'which we have not been caned,upon share. When the peasants of Northern France, Belgium and Serbia return to their desolated hornes they will certainly need finan- cial help to frestore themselves to ec- onomic independence. Moreover to curtail the period of food shortage throughout the world, wisdom die- dates that, we should assist them to become self-sustaining asrspeedily as possible. \ It will, I am confident, be a source of inspiration to the French, Belgian and Serbian' peasants now serving in the Allied armies to know that the British public, throughs the Royal Horticultural SodietyFund, is prepar- ing to help them to regain,th? sources of their livelihood as soon as peace is proclaimed, , These letters tells their own story. There has never been an appeal made to Weston in vain and this one will not fail if organized effort will have an yeffect. The committee in charge secured the prizes which were donated by citizens of the town. These will go to those who win the greatest num- ber of points. Each membership turned in on or before Thursday even- ing at 7 p. m. is worth 5 points. Those received before Saturday night at the same hour _is worth, 4 points; those on Tuesday will get 3 points and the last return on Thursday night at 10 o'clock will get 2 points. Thus it will be a great "race for the week. Each cap- tain and there are nine young ladies of the town has a committee of 4" to back her upl This makes a team of 5. These in turn have 250 workers who will assist each of their, teams to _ win. The-team that Win will have to [step along at a fast rate, to keep in the running. There will also be a One of The Biggest Yet (sgd.) D. Lloyd George Dominion Horticulturist. special prize given to the team that secures the greatest number of mem- bers during the whole campaign. This will not be awarded on the point SYS- tem thus everyone will have a chance for a good prize and at the same time will be doing a great work for the Horticultural and to remember those who have lost so much in their efforts to give to the world a lasting peace. The returns can be seen at Oldham's store Window each day. To- night the campaign Will open with a big sales talk from Mr. B. B. Halliday, Sales Manager of the C. C. M. office. All workers are expected to be on hand _Pick Your Winner These are the captains and their teams who are taking part in the big Horticultural membership drive. Look them over.

Upon -the officials in charge rest the re- sponsibility ot arranging details for the carying on of certain works that have been held up during the war. In Weston "here are several works that needs attention and could be started now. One of the important of these is the general cleaning up of our town streets, sidewalks and roads. For some time there has been some heavy rains that has washed sand, dirt and other particles to the gutters. In many places these are filled up. They need clearing out. The ditches need attention', crossings required to be cleaned and many side- walks needs repairs. If these works were started they would help in the present troubles. Then we have the great question of the parks for this town. Is this not the time to lay plans for the big park seheme of this town? Can we not beautify the town recreation ground by a general clean up of grounds, buildings and approaches? Can we not carry out the plan and utilize the river: bank and town park by a gen- /era1 clean up and a little levelling and filling in? Yes, this is the time to start these items and get some go- ing fast. Work wil make more work and then Weston will be during her share to help the returned man with- out subjecting him to charity. Our men want a square deal all round and it is up to us to give it to them. This is one of the efforts that the recon- struction period demands.. *‘Considerable comment has been made upon the water during the past few weeks. To-day the Medical Health Officer issues the Warning that all water should be boiled until furth- er notice? This Willjonly be a short period as the statement from the com- mission in these columns explains the whole detail. When thenew system is installed there will be no longer any need to boil the water. During the past two years the water consump- tion has been increasing at a very rapid rate. With the new filters this will be. taken care of. In the mean- time use every precaution.' _ Keep in nfiTidiriiaiiy, March 3lst. 1 Capt. Magwood, late chaplain to over- . seas forces, will lecture in the Meth- odist church. “War Revelations” is the subject chosen, and all who have had the pleasure of hearing Capt. Magwood know that the evening will be a, profitable one. Any who have not previously heard him are assured of an interesting talk on a subject that has occupied much of our time and thought b_during the past tour years. Musical numbers by Miss Clarice Packham, Mrs. w. J. Inch, and Mrs. J. H. Billings of Weston, assisted by Mr. Green, soloist-of Central Method- ist Church, Toronto, promise a pro- }gramme that will please all lovers ot music. .y Employing our Labour Regards Our Water Our Bowlers _ AAA", VAA, A. .
