Weston Citizens: Given an Opâ€" portunity to Assist Famine Stricken China Once again the apeal comes for help from an Eastern land, stricken with famine, and her people dying by the hundreds, others crazed by their suf. fering are ending the lives of their children and themselves in preference to facing the torture of starvation. Fossibly we who ‘live in a land of plenty cannot realize the terrible conâ€" dition of picture the suffering; algo, the land seems so remote, that we can hardly credit their dire necessity. Communion »service was held_ in Tomlinson â€" Church on Sunday â€" last, conducted by Rev. E. R. Young, who I GANES: 6 As you become familiar with a town, F you do not note how rapidly #hat it ; | growns. You are generally so engrossâ€" | | ed in your own affairs that you do not have the time to sit back and note all the progress that is going on about you. It is true that from all outward ) ) appearances, the old town has not moved along at a very fast rate. It is true that our development has been rather slow. You will, however, ackâ€" ; nowledge that the growth has been ; | most solid, and every dollar spent has | been looked at very hard before it was | let go. The result of this has been the | slow but steady growth of our town. | Toâ€"day we have in the town of Weston one of t"~~ finest centres that you can find around Toronto. It possesses all the points that go to make up a real centre. Our homes are occupied by thrifty citizens who are ready with their money, but want to see that they get value.. Our town has about it inâ€" dustries that are a decided factor in the prosperity of the town. Our eduâ€" cational institutions are of the very best that you will find in Ontario. Our utilities are meeting the heavy deâ€" mands made upon them and supplyâ€" ing the community with its needs. Our merchants are doing business every day and look for more. Our churches which are necessary in every comâ€" munity, have leadership and are doing a good work. With these surroundâ€" ings can anyone say that our town is not the finest centre about here? Can anyone say that the town of Weston has not progressed? They but }’mve to look at the improvement during the last year on the main street. All the stores are occupied. Some of the oldâ€" er places have been renovated. Housâ€" es have been erected. all over the town. With the building operations still going on there can be no doubt about the need: of homes., With the confidence that has been placed in this town, houses are still being erectâ€" ed. But the town cannot be estimated along at its value in dollars and cents. We may have industries, homes, busiâ€" ness places, schools and colleges, and still not be a great centre. «The true test of a great centre is the men tha\t it produces. Weston has produced great men, and is continuing to do so. Much is being done in this centre to develope the boy and the girl. Active and busy men and women are at this great work. They realize that the boy and the girl is the greatest asset that any town_ can have.. There is only one thing that really hampers the work here, and that is the lack of leaders. Men are taking hold and doing a good work in our churches and schools. These men are giving the boys ideals to strive for that will make men. But they need coâ€"operation. They need assistance. . Where is this help coming ‘from ? Can‘there be any greater adâ€" _vancement that will mark the progress of our town than the greater developâ€" ment of this great asset. Let this |â€" winter mark one of the greatest perâ€"| iods for the development of the youngâ€" er citizens. Cannot the town unite in putting forth a program that will embrace all the young life in our town? ‘Thic can be done through the| & organized classes that are now operatâ€" | town? This can be done through the | f progress along this line will be markâ€"| c ed. Nothing can stop this movement| e if the men will coâ€"operate. It will be | f the greatest progress that Weston can | I boast, of if only our citizens will only | C help.

The question of closing Newton Street or opening a lane in thatâ€" vicinity, petitions being=in for both measures, was postponed until the 29th.

Deputy Reeve Graham York township. council yesterday afternoon passed a byâ€"law for $43,â€" 000, for local improvements for the first half of November. _A byâ€"law for debentures for water mains was passâ€" ed in section A, for $230,000, and also for $10,000 for mains in section B.

A review of the work for the past year was given, which proved very encouraging, but demonstrated the fact that although the war was over, its effects were still with us, and relief was needed in many cases. This had been given whenever posâ€" sible, and would still be carried on. The sum of $100 was donated for the Chinese famine fund, and the donaâ€" tion to the British War Relief Fund of the previous week noted, showing that the Canadian Red Cross were backing up every movement for th« relief of suffering humanity.

EIOBIGOKE TWP. COUNEIL MEETINE We have passed through . a period when there was a_ great wave" of wealth over this country. Money was plentiful. Boys who made big wages spent them like water, Toâ€"day these same boys are finding that it is diffiâ€" cult to keep up. the old pace. . Merâ€" _ chants are now feeling the effects to _a small degree. Still this is not a time _to sit back and say nothing. ~This is not the time to wait till the purchasâ€" ers cometo you. This is the time that calls for action. While the business was coming in without much effort, then you did not have to put forth exâ€" tra care. Now it is the time when everyone should make it their business‘ to stimulate business in this centre by . going after it. It would be a great. piece of work if the merchants of this town would set to work and make this a greater centre for business. It the merchants would get together means would be derived whereby th town of Weston would draw upon the whole district for support of her merchants. It would mean that this old town would become much more a centre of business than it ever has. It would also insure the solidity of our town. Let each one of our merchants sit down and figure out what there is in this town in their lines, if they will but go after it. We have 2500 people in the town. There are ‘another 1509 people around this town that should deal here. A live active body of busiâ€" ness men could direct a lot of trade into our town. This is the time to set about and do it. Don‘t wait till some other fellow steps up and takes it away. : Let every citizen of Weston fight to stimulate business in our town because it ‘spells prospérity to thisi great centre w There is a géneral impression that business is going flat. This is allowed to become current, and weakâ€"hearted men accept the situation with a ready willingness to bow their heads to cirâ€" cumstances. The old saying was strike while the iron is hot.
