They asked for the sum of $500 to place equipment and carry on the work among the boys. The oppoâ€" sition that developed and won the day was because of the fact that the work was not known and the details not clearly understood by all. It was takâ€" en for.granted fhat all were alive to the situation and the requirement for the work known. Last week‘s article took this as assumed.. Since then the discovery has been made that the facts were not well known by the citizens nor by all of the councillors. The proposal is the result of theâ€"great cfâ€" | fort being put forth to claim for the citizenship of this country the highest type of boy by developing him on the | fourâ€"fold planâ€"physically, menmll_\‘,! socially and spiritually. . Work alon;;“ this line has made great progress ”“l our city colleges, schools, factories and | counties.) In our centre a most imâ€" portarit work is now under way at the C. C. M. and the Kodak plants for the boy. It has been recognized that. our boys in Weston will receive a benefit from this training. They will have the opportunity of becoming greater forces in the spheres of life, With this object in view, a committee was apâ€" pointed. W. J. Gibson was elected chairman, C. L Fraser secretary. Afâ€" ‘ter a number of meetings it was arâ€" ranged that the only suitable plan to carry on this work under a qualified [lea.der was the new room at the pubâ€" lie school. This room would require a ]flooring of some kind to be put down and some equipment of showers andl 'px‘otection for windows. The school Board were interviewed with regard. to\ their consent for the use of the. room and also the right to place the floor necessary. They could not do it las they had to live within their estiâ€" ‘ mates.. Arrangements for the floor were made with the contractors, who had some flooring on the ground. An |estimate was made of the cost to carry on for the year a. work among the boys. This totalled about $2000, which included the flooring. The committee decided to ask the council for $1000 and that they would raise $1000. This was done at the first meeting of the council. After that meeting the matâ€" ter was laid over and during the inâ€" terval the plan that the Board should assume the cost of the flooring, as it was their property was considered unâ€" officially. Then the committee deâ€" cided that $500 would be solicited from the council and that they would raise the balance, some $600, to carry on the work. This work will consist of the organizing of classes to take [up physical training, group games and outdoor athletics.

LAVERâ€"In loving memory of Our dear Mother, Ellen Laver, wife of the late E. G. Laver, who passed away April 27th, 1916. Dearest Mother, you‘ve been absent From our midst four years toâ€"day, How we miss your loving presence Aching hearts alone can say. â€"Daughters and Sons DAYLIGHT SAVING FOR WESFON On Monday evening the Weston Council met for the consideration of those items that were laid over from the previous meeting. â€" Councillor Totâ€" ten was the only absentee and the council chamber was filled with a large delegation from the citizens‘ committee on boys‘ work and several other interested citizens. The first matter on the table was the widening of Vitoria Avenue. The report from the solicitor was to the effect that Mr. Taylor of Mount Denâ€" nis was at one time the owner of this property. He suggested that a search of the title be made and then action be taken when the ownership is deâ€" cided. The clerk was instructed to have the search made of the title. Mr. Norman Nichol appeared beâ€" fore the council in reference to the building that he is erecting at the corner of St. John‘s Road and the Weston Road. It was explained by the Mayor that on account of some of the ratepayvers in the vicinity makâ€" ing objections to the building he had instructed the clerk not\to issue . a permit for this building\ until the council had decided upon the matter. When Nichol â€" first approached (the clerk for a permit he on consultation with the chairman of the property committee gave the boy to understand, as there had been no complaint last year from our own citizens, that evâ€" erything would be all right, When the grounds were rented and Iumber ready and the man on the job, the work was stopped. The complaint lodged is that the place is only a temporary structure and is more or less a nuisâ€" ance during the summer. It isâ€"only for a few months. The town does not receive any benefit, and it does much harm to the ratepayers of the town who have erected stores in the vicinâ€" ity. . Mr.‘Coe, Humphries. Councillor Harris, all voiced theserobjectiqons, On the presentation of the case the counâ€" oil, though sorry for the outlay made by the man, felt that on account of the conditions they could not grant the permit. MHTCeRoe eoit nds Mr. J. W. Gibson, chairman of the Citizens‘ Committee for Boys‘ Work, then introduced the application of that committee to the council for the sum| of $500 to assist in the carrying on of the boys‘ work in this district, with the coâ€"operation and assistance of the West End Y. M. C. A. He statâ€" ed that Prof. Wade would yoice the appeal of the committee._ This was done in a masterly way, picturing the, great asset we have in the boy _and the need for training our boys physiâ€" ‘cally, mentally and socially. He pointâ€" ed out that the floor would be taken care of by the Board of Education, but that necessary equipment and inâ€" struction would mean an / outlay of money. He asked the council to give the committee a small grant to set this work in operation. One of his main points were that when we have given our boys a good mental training, it is not of much use unless there Js > a strong physical body to carry it along. Robert Flynn, J. M. Pearen, Mr. Elâ€" liott, Secretary of the West End °YÂ¥: M. C. A., all spoke upon the need of the work among the boys. It was inâ€" timated that the School Board would take care of the expense of putting the floor in the room that is required by the Board. As this expense will be taken care of, some of the councillors argued that the committee should beâ€" come organized and the work procecdâ€" ed with before they ask for a grant. Others thought that as the committee bad spent the money they hbhad no (Continuged on page 5) IN MEMORIAM OBITUARY James MacMillan Smile and Smile Again You can afford to smile when it is raining or a stiff breeze is blowing if you have a Cruickshank Cab on your truck.
