Millar‘s Motor Truck r Movings, Cartage or Express work handled BEATS THEM ALL be Cimes & Giine. It is indeed with much joy that the citizens of Weston read the report of the Council.. This year the rate is only 36 mills It will be borne in mind one of the statements made outside is that the tax rate in Weston is so high. This is used all over to stop people from coming into our town. One of the first things that the outâ€" sider hears is that the taxes are so high in Weston that you cannot live. This is not so. Weston tax rate is low. This year‘s rate of 36 is one of the best of any of the municipalities that surround the City of Toronto. When you take into consideration the fact that in Weston you have everything that goes to make home like home. You have the water, light, sewers, street car and train transportation and beautiful location. All this with the small tax rate makes Weston an ideal place to live in. The citizens of our town should make these facts known to their friends. Now that the tax rate is on the decrease everyone in the section, near and far, should be made acquainted with the facts. Now as the fair is to be held in Weston there should be an extra efâ€" fort put forth by the people of Wesâ€" ton to see that everything possible is done to boost the fair. Don‘t let it fail if you can help it. : For many years the big Fair for the‘ district outside of Toronto has been commanding attention. . Slowly but surely it has gained and is now looked upon as one of the best country fairs held. This means that a lot of good work has been carried on in the past year by the directors. This year however, will be one the best if all the plans now ‘Jlaid are carried out. One of the big plans this year is to secure the coâ€"operation of the whole district in making this an exhibition for everyone in West York. This is specially for those in the section of York Township, Etobicoke Township, towns of Mimico and Weston and New Toronto. Efforts to have all centres represented at the fair this year are being made. It is to be hoped that evâ€" eryone will do all in their power to bring about this general coâ€"operation. It is also to be hoped that the differâ€" ent organizations will assist in the making of this fair. Have you been spending any time on the Fair Grounds? If you have you will note that they are being used evâ€" ery night by the young people for healthy outdoor exercise. For a long time these grounds have not been used. Last year efforts were made to put them into shape. This year the grounds are in better shape than they have been for a long time. This is due to the fact that they have been in use this year. Baseball and laâ€" crosse players have seen to it that they were cut and kept in order. As the grounds are ideal for an outing park or for athletic purposes we should deâ€" rive still more from them,. There are several parts of the grounds that could be cut and put into first class condiâ€" tion for play. With the increasing deâ€" mand for playgrounds in the city it should arouse us to our asset. These grounds could be utilized every Saturâ€" day for big athletic games. With the full oval levelled, the hillside all cut, there is not a better place around the Weston has a lot of musical talent. A visit to any one of our churches will convince you of this. Musical training is very fine for any person. It has the tendency of elevating> character and bringing out artistic tastes that otherwise would often lie dormant. With all the talent that we have in Weston there might be an effort put forth to secure the organization of. a choral society. It would be an opporâ€" tunity of developing the talent that we have in Toronto and also a source of social intercourse. It would also be an asset to our town to have a real choral society that would and could make a name for itself. If the matâ€" ter was discussed by our choir leaders a meeting might be called to organize. city to hold games and events. A. little effort would bring this before the athletic bodies and Weston would reap the benefit. These games would bring thousands to Weston who have nevet heard of the place. It would be the greatest piece of advertising that Wesâ€" ton ever had. A revenue could be secured for the erection of a stand. In the future we would have a very valâ€" uable asset in our grounds. With the coâ€"operation of the town officials and the Horticultural Society this will be the leading park in the district. The local G.W.V.A. are, completing arrangements for one of the best days that has been held in Weston for a long time. On Saturday afternoon they expect to have a great turnout of â€"citizens from all the district around. It will be the first Field Day of the branch. From reports it will be one that will be long remembered. For instance in the drawing competition, nothing less than an automobile will be the prize for the premier contest. It needed something to draw the peoâ€" ple from their homes and this is the one thing that will do it. It will not only draw the people from their homes but will draw the lucky man home again. You can‘t beat that for enterâ€" prize. It was this same big enterâ€" prizing spirit that won for our boys the name that they gained in France. They were not satisfied with the small thing but were out for the big afâ€" fairs. It was this spirit that made them such good fighters. This same spirit is being put into the Field Day for Saturday. Another big item will be the real front line trenches that our boys dug, lived in and held the Hun at bay in. Will it not be of inâ€" terest to see these things not as picâ€" tures but as they really were. TOWN TOPICS In the midwa& the attraction will be a revelation to all. Some of the WESTON RATE ISs LOWERED A BIG DAY ANTICIPATED A CHORAL SOCIETY USE OUR GROUNDS THE BIG FAIR WEST YORKS NEWSY WEEKLY WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 13, 1919 With the increased value of city property and the great scarcity of houses, there has been a great demand for storage space in the city. With the great advantages that Weston can hold out to these persons who are looking for homes and sites is it not opportune to launch a campaign to secure some of these people? We have in Weston a lot of property that is now idle. There are a few buildings that could be utilized but there is a lot of land that is doing nothing. If these were all taken up and homes, factories and stores erected it would be the greatest development that the most optimistic person could anticiâ€" pate. ‘ We have here a natural centre. It has held sway for a long time. As conditions are now working it is time that a still greater stride were taken. Encouragement has been given to manufacturers to locate here. They have come and we are well pleased. By their aid and coâ€"operation Weston has been greatly benéfited. We would still reap a greater benefit if the peoâ€" ple who are employed in these plants would only live in Weston. Many have tried but are unable to locate on acâ€" count of the fact that they can‘t find a house. This condition is general. With a little coâ€"operation and .some greater encouragement these people could be induced to live here. Let the town act and lay out a campaign where by the great benefits of Wesâ€" ton are shown to the factory employâ€" ees, shown the great educational faâ€" cilities that can be had by living in Weston,. The beautiful environment that surround.our residents, the good light, water and sewerage systems that we have and the splendid transportaâ€" tion. All these are items that mean much to these who are now storing their household .goods. «~With some assistance fromâ€" the «council or the town these matters could be circulatâ€" ed through the factories and the city and Weston will reap the benefit. It takes time to lay Pla.ns but well laid plans will bring results. finest games played will be on hand. They will be oceans of fun for all. One of the big attractions for young and old will be the merryâ€"goâ€"round. This is what they call the round about in England.. It will, however, be well patronized once the whistle blows. Present indications are that there will be a first class athletic meet durâ€" ing the afterneon. Several good runâ€" ners and bicycle riders are on the job ready to make a trial for the excellent prizes that have been collected. Take a look at the prizes and see what you can win.. Both the West Toronto brass band and our own citizens‘ band will be on the job for the day and a special orchestra will take care of the dancing. It will be the best day that has been held in Weston. To make is so we are responsible to see that it is well advertised and have your friend out to spend the day, get into line early for the sports, as they start at three and stay late for the dance and the midway as it will be some fun. ARE YOU CONSIDERING a fine piece of work when they pulled off so successfully the big day on Satâ€" urday. Thousands came and spent their time and money and all went home happy.. It was indeed a fine afâ€" fair all the way through. . Many thought it would be impossible to get the crowd after the other two successâ€" ful affairs. The crowd was there. The games were competed, the booths did well and the dancing was well conâ€" ducted. Above all, the merry go round had them all guessing all the time. It is events like this that place a cenâ€" tre on the map. It is a good centre that can attract for three days such, a big crowd. This speaks well for the enterprizing men who control afâ€" fairs in Mount Dennis. To say that the Presbyterian Church of Mount Dennis put it over would be putting it a little weak. Those who had charge of the Regala Day held under the auspices of the church did ALLANâ€"In proud and loving memory of our dear laddie, Lieut. R. J. Alâ€" lan, M. M., M.M., 14th Battalion, R. M.R., killed in action August 11th, 1918, aged 22 years. "Until the daybreak and the shadâ€" ows flee away." Mother, Brother and Sisters. OVER $1500 TAKEN IN IN MEMORIAM A CHANGE The next big question was that of the rate for the present year. This matter always requires a lot of time and careful attention. After going inâ€" to all the details it was felt that the rate for the year would be 36 mills. This is a reduction of 3% mills from last year. From all reports the town is in a very good position financially and this rate will cover up all the exâ€" penditures. On Monday evening there was the usual routine of business that took up a lot of time. All these items have to be attended to, even though they do take up time. One of the importâ€" ant matters decided was that of giving to our firemen better facilities to work with. It is felt that with the inâ€" creased number of factories and resiâ€" dents, there should be a new fire truck. It was pointed out that up to the present time the main expenses of the present truck and its purchase have been borne by the firemen. In asking for this new truck they thought it was a municipal affair and .should be purqhased by the council. The work of the Weston Fire Brigade has been of a very high character and evâ€" eryone feels that they have done exâ€" ceptionally well. They have been very modest in asking for money from the council for their support. The counâ€" cil decided to ask the clerk to write for details on fire trucks and these will be presented to the council for their approval at the next meeting. The question of temporary accomâ€" modation for the school was discussed at the meeting and the council was asked to coâ€"operate with the board. They are willing‘\to do all that they can along the lines suggested. Mrs. McKitterick was appointed tax collector for the year. This appointâ€" ment was very popular with all. The late tax collector, Mr. McKitterick, who died a short time ago, was one of the best that Weston ever had. Mrs. McKitterick helped in the work then, thus all felt that they were placing this important position in the right hands. The memorial service held on Friâ€" day evening last in St. George‘s Church will be long remembered: in this district. Capt. Duncan, who went across with the 126th, gave a sterling address that reached the hearts of all present. He spoke with the greatest of sympathy and also with experience, as he lost his boys over there. The community have erected a beautiful Roman cross of marble. It is about the same as those erected in France in memory of our boys. This stone will always bear the memory of those who so nobly gave up all for freedom and» justice. On Sunday afternoon there were about 100 present to organize for the coming vote. All were deeply interestâ€" ed in the great cause and are willing to do all in their power to bring out the vote and see that the questions to be answered are properly understood by the voters. To do this strong orâ€" ganizations are required. Each secâ€" tion is being organized and everyâ€" thing will be done to bring the imâ€" portant question before the eyes of the‘ people.. By this means it is to be hoped that all details of the questions asked which are bewildering unâ€" til they are understood.. If this country is to advance to greater achievements now is the time to set it going. No one wants to see the conâ€" ditions return that we had before any of the Temperance Legislation took place. Everyone will acknowledge that as a War Measure the Legislation was very necessary, If then it was a benefit why not continue the same? This is a question that every one must figure out for themselves. Get all the information that you can and then go ahead at full speed. Do the very best that is in the best interest of this country. It is the future that we are here to make. Let the future of this country be further developed when we are called home than it was when we came into this world. In short let our aim be to do all the good that we can for humanity.

A. W. Pinch, Newcastle, Ont., saysâ€""My Fordson arrived O. I have plowed 50 acres with it and think it‘s a hummer." James Steel, Giroux, Man., writesâ€""With the Fordson drawing a 12 inch gang plow, I have plowed seven inches deep at six miles per hour. It made the finest work I ever saw. We also harrowed with five section harrows 21 feet wide, doing 45 acres in 5 hours, and I think that is pretty good." W. E. Turner, Duval, Sask.â€""I have had splendid success with the Fordson. Have broken some virgin prairie, tough stuff, with 14 inch gang on low speed, and it handled it well even up stiff hills." We can show you how to do the same and save money.
