Mrs. G. M. Lyons, the president, was in the chair, and about thirty memâ€" bers were present. Previous camâ€" paign figures were presented, which demonstrated the establishment _ and appreciation in general of the local Horticultural _ Society, which will greatly encourage the | committees, and at the same time act as an inâ€" centive to the canvassers for memberâ€" ship. The proposed campaign, whilst it hopes to obtain as many members as possible, will devote the greater part of the proceeds to the, promoâ€" tion of horticulture particularly, and the beautifying of the town in genâ€" eral. Greater scope is offered this year, as there are options expressly for that purpose, and also for the improving ‘of hitherto practically unâ€" explored parts, such as districts in the immediate neighborhood of the/‘ River Humber and especially by the Dufferin St. bridge adjoining the town park. This work will be done under the supervision of Amnembers of the society who are thoroughly acâ€" quainted with what is required to brighten up these blighted spots. Atâ€" tention was called that, as this conâ€" dition would not create a very faâ€" vorable impréession, and as all enâ€" trances are subject to criticism, this can be avoided by a general cleanâ€" up and proper improvement, which will include the planting of flowers in a practical and systematic manner. School Grounds Will Benefit / Additional opportunities will be givâ€" en for those especially interested in the beautification of the local school grounds. Some time ago a deputaâ€" tion of the society waited on the board of education for the purpose of getting their consent to include an applicable option in the campaign, which was granted. In the event of this option receiving the support that is anticipated, plans will beâ€"submitted for the improving of the school grounds and the subsequent approvâ€" al by the board. Schools are particâ€" ularly advantageous to give results, as they offer a very wide scope for development. ¢ | Society Holds Social Night â€"and Plans for Big Membership‘ Drive HORTICULTURAL eveicy Necusse There will be fifteen options, which will permit each and everybody . to pave an _ opportunity . to subscribe their membership and at / the same time obtain some of the very best varieties of roses. plants. shrubs, etc., which are at other times practically unobtainable, except through almost obscure channels and endless corresâ€" pondence. No effort has been sparâ€" ed to make this campaign the bigâ€" gest and best yet, and it is hoped that the citizens will exercise the privilege of joining the society and boosting the town. FRefreshments were served by the ladies after the meeting. § Spring is coming! What does it mean ?â€"bright sunshiny weather, . a desire on the part of everyone toget out, take long walks and enjoy the beauties of nature. The trees are budding. grass springing green on lawns and boulevards. Are we going to let the accumulation of last fall‘s dead leaves which have fallen during the winter months, and other debris which has accumulated on the streets and gardens, disfigure what would otherwise be a perféct scene. A few kours‘ work with rake and hoe, a sprinkling of grass seed: on the bare spots, and a trimming out of dead wood from the bushes would overâ€" come all this and add materially to the home surroundings.. Big things are looked for in Weston during, the coming summer, but do not wait till the visitors _ come, and just clean the house for their approval. .Conâ€" sider the people who call Weston home, and to those who as yet have not caught the yision of beautiful surâ€" roundings, give them the environâ€" ment, and soon all will fall in line, and a stroll along Weston streets will be a pleasure and delight. Mrs. James Nuttall is spending two week‘s holidays with friends in Hamâ€" ilton. Mrs. Stevenson and . daughter and Mr. and Mrs. Higgins of West Toâ€" ronto were visitors with Mr. and Mrs. Holdsworth on Sunday. Mr. Cecil Neale arrived back from England last Sunday. night. His many friends in Humbervale are glad to see him inâ€"Canada again. Don‘t forget the grand concert to be held in Humbervale=â€"Church on Tuesday evening, March~29th, under the auspices of the Men‘s ,Club. A splendid program will be given by first class talent. Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Worgan gave a house warming party to theirâ€" many friends last Friday evening.. Guests were present from Toronto, Lambton Mills, Malton and Weston, and a good time was enjoyed by all. Mr. and Mrs. Worgan hope to soon be settled comâ€" fortably in their new homeé.

The installing of power machines meant factories, this led to capital, and consequently power in the hands of a few, with oppression and wage cuts. A revolt on the part of labor led to a union of forces, which condition we find is toâ€"day causing unrest, Capital has massed her forces with a bulwark of trusts and combines. Labor has comâ€" bined with a sceale of wages and hours. Another faction calling for equal division of the wealth of the nation. By a statement ‘of figures, he showed that the latter was most unpractical. â€"Divide the. wealth ofl England, and no person would have money enough to build even a house to live in. Therefore factories would close and commerce cease for the want of capital. . What is needed to make good citizens and build up a na~ tion is education, coâ€"operation and Christianity. â€" Education had done away with the slave laws of old days,. excluded child labor from shops and factories, provided sanitation, and properly constructed factories and workshops.. Education:enables a man to give good. intelligent service, wheâ€" ther it be in the shop,,the factory or the land. Coâ€"operation is needed to break down graft, greed and oppresâ€" sion of the weaker, giving all a fair chance to gain‘ an _lonest. living. Christianity is the essence of love and humility, gna.bling man to Five of ‘his best, not for selfish purpfyses but for the upbuilding of hum#apty and national greatness, which is citiâ€" Monday, March 28th, regular meetâ€" ing of the I.O0.0.F. in Church St. hall Tuesday, March 29th, regular meetâ€" ing of C.O.F.;, No: 528, in Memorial Hall, Elsemere Ave., at $ p.m..

The building was comâ€" pletely gutted, together with the contents, which netted a loss of $15,â€" 000.00. partly covered by. insurance. The Mount Dennis fire. brigade reâ€" sponded to the first call and were on the job three minutes after . the alarm was sounded, but were absoâ€" lutely helpless owing to the lack of water. Some time ago advice was given to the company that it would be necessary to have ample fire proâ€" tection by the installation of the waâ€" ter, ‘but apparently it was not done. The water is supplied to the tracks by the township, but as the property on the other side of the track is priâ€" vately owned, it was impossible . to take it across unless it was further undertaken by the company concernâ€" ed. Firemen Were Helpless _. Chief Gilbert would not permit the hose to be strung ‘across the tracks, owing to the possibility: of a passing train, which would in all probability derail the train _provided it did not cut the hose. Weston Fire Brigade, under Chief Totten, also responded, but were also unable to do anything. Mrs. Breaky of Peirsun. Manitoba, who has spent the past few months with her mother, Mrs. Foster, Church St., left for home last week. & The friends are asked to note that on Good Friday no collection of garâ€" bage will be made, and the citizens residing on theseâ€"streets are requested to place garbage ready for collection early Thursday morning, as this route will be covered by an extra rig on Thursday instead ‘of Friday. NEW TORONTO LOGALS Mr. Mcllwain and family, who have resided for the past year in town, left last week for their new home â€" at Markham, where they have purchasâ€" ed a farm. Dr. Thompson and famâ€" ily of William St. are moving into the house on Cross St., lately occupied by Mr. Mcllwain. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23R Mr. H.

The old organization of the lacrosse club have rights in this town that should _ be respected by all. If they are willing to run a lacrosse club, as they have done in this town for the past few years, why then should the new association come along and dicâ€" tate to them. Lacrosse has been takâ€" en care of in,this town. It has been the one sport that‘s been well lookâ€" ed after. What is now needed in this town is an association of men who will promote athletics for the whole town, not lacrosse which is taken care of by the present club, but other lines that have not been promoted. ‘We want baseball leagues among our schools and churches, we want football matches and teams orâ€" ganized, we want cricket clubs to operate, and other lines of athletics. Field days to enthuse the young peoâ€" ple is a great need. This is the great purpose of an athletic organization. If this association will start out to form an organization for the boys of our town, they will have the whole support of the town. If they are out to grind an laxe against the lacrosse club or any other/ organization, they are wasting their time. Let us for the great benefits that can be derived from an athletic association get togeâ€" ther and build along the right lines. Boys Need Some Promoters Nothing will develop tne citizenship of the town quicker than good, clean, wholesome athletics. If the boys are taught the game and/the true, high meaning of playing the game, then those same boys will be the bright, enterprising citizens of our town. Do you want your boy to be the dub? Give him an athletic education under proper supervision and§your boy,/ will develop fast. His eyes will become quick, his mind will act with speed, his movements will be active. It Jays the foundation for a great citizen. This is what the objective of a town athletic association should be. Can it be done? . Yes, with the coâ€"opera~« tion of the townspeople along these lines it can be done. & \_ Is Such An Organization Needed? J Â¥Ces.. it is badly needed. in . ofuf, <own at the present time. Wnhat have ‘we to offer‘ our boys or girls in the leagues have we promoted here where leagues have: wepromoted here where the interest of the game can be stimâ€" ulated? What provision is made for a proper teaching of the games? These are the problems of the day. These are the matters that a real live orgamization can handle successâ€" fully. It requires leadership,. time, money and knowledge.. We have the men, the grounds and what we need is the organizations. Men of Weston, let this be the great objective of the new association to provide for the young boys and girls. There is a serious undercurrent in the athletiec situation of our town. some of those who are on the outâ€" side are not just sure where the peoâ€" ple are and just what the real aim of those who are back of the mOveâ€" ment want. It appears on the genâ€" eral surface that it is a fight between the lacrosse tlub and the newlyâ€" talkedâ€"of athletic association. This Coâ€"operation of the Athletic Lovâ€" ers Will Build Up the Association A fire brook out on Saturday at noon at: the New. Toronto Leather Works on" Eighth Street. The damage done is estimated at $20.000, all of which is covered byâ€" insurance. The plant had been closed down since Thursday night, and nobody was in the building at the time the fire startâ€" ed. Combustion is thought to be, the cause of the‘fire. The fire was first noticed by two members of Brown‘s office staff who promptly turned in the alarm. Employees of Brown‘s Rolling Mills had their hose playing on the fire about/ten minutes before the New Toronto fire brigadewarrived. Mimico fire department also ‘*ca.me to the rescue. Splendid work on the part of both brigades saved the building. The New Toronto brigade are still bampered by lack of equipment. Fire Chief Taylor is sending another plea to the council to have this remedied. The building which the New Toronto Leather Works occupy used to be a boardingâ€"house for the employees of Brown‘s Rolling Mills. The building is still partly owned by J. F Brown.
