JUST TRY ONE in our store. bo Cimgs & Giuins. It was thought that it would not be advisable to build the new office this year. Plansifor the whole front and a permanent building are to be conâ€" sidered, and then the whole plan can be worked out together with a definâ€" ite end in view. The question of the first day required a lot of time. It was felt that the usual program of school children‘s day was not taken up by ail the teachers as it might be. As a result there has been a falling off this last few years owing to conâ€" ditions of transportation and increasâ€" ed dangers. This year the arrangeâ€" ment will take the line of a big day of races for the schools in the afterâ€" noon and have Premier Hearst, if posâ€" sible, open the fair formally in the evening. There will also be an athâ€" letic or bicycle meet carried off durâ€" ing the evening. The grounds will be illuminated and all the other atâ€" tractions in full swing. It means that there will be something for you to see at the fair on the first day. All are now on the job and everyone is trying to. make the fair this year the best yet. On Friday night there will be another meeting of the directors held in the town ‘hall at eight o‘clock sharp. Be there if you are a director. During the week there have been two very important meetings of the fair committee and the fair directors. After much discussion it was arrangâ€" ed to have the grounds all levelled around the buildings, to have the enâ€" trance fixed up, a tent for the office at the grounds this year, the wall conâ€" tinued, a big first day‘s program of races in the afternoon, grand formal opening and athletic or bicycle meet. Thus there is something under way. Would it not be a greater convenâ€" ience to our citizens to have the 5.15 train stop at Weston? This train usâ€" ed to stop here and was a very conâ€" venient train for those working in the city. With the change of the time table and the additional train put on, the company has stopped the earlier train. Leaving Toronto at 3.15 is too early for our business men. Of course it is up to the G.T.R. It means that the C.P.R. will get more of the pasâ€" sengers than the G.T.R. They do try and study the community a little, bit. It has been felt for a long time that there should be postal boxes placed in this town for the collection of mail. At the present time there is one box at the corner of Church and Main Sts. This is cleared each day. Now is it not an easy thing to have a box placed at Bourke‘s corner, one at Jno. St. and at Dennison Ave.? This would enable those living in these sections to post their mail with little inconâ€" venience. You now take a letter to the post office or carry it to the city. With the boxes these could be posted without delay. It would be a great convenience for the public and those in a position to secure these boxes should bestir themselves in the matâ€" ter. 3 1 It is the desire of every true lover of sport to see clean sport. Fair play to all is the underlying element that should govern all events where there is competition. On accountâ€"of the great energies put forth on the athletâ€" ic fields, men often lose their heads for the moment and do acts that they otherwise would not do. In this case there is a little justification, but such cases are always dealt with very seâ€" verely by the authorities. Special penalties are dealt out to all offendâ€" ers. In this way the games are kept clean. There are fimeg when the refâ€" erees or those in charge do make misâ€" takes and cause considerable trouble. Still there is no time in which the crowd is justified in rushing on the fieldand starting to â€"make trouâ€" ble. It is not the right way to_adâ€" just matters. Might is not right. Both teams and spectators are to be blamed for the lacrosse game here on Satâ€" urday. The fact that one player did One of the features of the Weston fair this year will be the Horticulturâ€" al tent.. Last year this made a big hit. It was one of the great exhibits at the fair. From the reports now to hand it would appear that this year will far surpass last year‘s exhibit, We have in Weston the largest memberâ€" ship of any society organized for the purpose of horticultural work. Those who have heard of this branch will be looking for a big exhibit. Now to make this a success every member of the society should try and make the exhibit one that will be recorded as the finest horticultural show of the year. This means coâ€"operation from all. Arrange now to have something to enter at the big show. Civic holiday will be held in Weston on Monday, August 4th. This is the annual day that is always taken at the same time as the City of Toronto proclaims it. It gives those who are not able to take longer vacation an opportunity to get away for a little holiday. Rests and changes like this in the midst of the heat are very benâ€" eficial, and all should arrange to get away. Weston usually closes up tight and everyone generally gets out ,of town for the day. : TOWN TOPICS Many are the complaints heard from time to time about cur post office. It has been expected that there would be a new office built. In fact there is said to have been promise made to that effect. That was four years ago. Yet toâ€"day we find that the office is all cramped up for room and is unsuited for a post offices This is an item that could be taken up and talkâ€" ed of. There is a need and we should have it. CLEAN SPORT OUR DESIRE HORTICULTURAL EXHIBIT THAT NEW POST OFFICE OUR TRAIN SERVICE POSTAL BOXES CIVIC HOLIDAY UNDER WAY wWEST YORKS NEWSY WEEKLY WEDNESDAY, JULY â€"30TH, 1919 Some attention might be directed to the way in which some of the pathâ€" masters in Etobicoke Township dump the gravel on the roads. They drive the wagon up the centre and just let the gravel fall in a mound. It means that there is a high crest of gravel that you have to straddle or take the ditch. It means that those using the road will have to spread the gravel. Is this not a waste of material, time and money. Our roads cannot be made with gravel dumped in this way. The whole system is wrong. Roads to give satisfaction must be built under competent men. Municipalities . deâ€" pendent upon statute labor for the building of their roads do not get the best value for their money. The one road master to supervise all work unâ€" der proper provincial goytrol would give better value than they now get. Increased traffic on these roads deâ€" mand a better Euilt road all over the country. Attention has been directed through these columns many times to our main street. It must be here recorded that our road has been looked after much better this year.> At the presâ€" ent time with the small stone and the tar that has been used the road in the town is in much better condition than it has been for some time. This fact just goes to prove the contentions that have been made from time to /time that a little work regularly brings the results. It is the constant looking after the holes and the water where it lies that saves the road. Every time these are fixed up it means the life of the road is lengthened. If the county or the province would only take over all our roads and build them upon a uniform basis and put in. a proper system for the care of these roads, the country would be money ahead. We are pleasâ€" ed with the county roads as it now is in the centre of the town. Athletic life, when developed upon high ideals, is one of the best citizen developers that any country can have. Therefore it is the duty of those inâ€" terested to see that the games played are always kept on a high plane. Any rowdy work must be stopped. Weston and Mimico followers are, both to blame for running on the field Satâ€" urday. The players were given penalties for their offences. The referee who was in charge was taking care of the game and doing the right thing. A good game was spoilt by a few who were followers of both teams. These are the men that should be kept away from all games. They make the games to become far from the true ideals of sport. In future at all. these games there should be sufficient protection furnished by all home teams to proâ€" tect the game. forget himself does not justify the crowd taking a hand in the matter.
