The loss by fire, insects and fungi about doubles this depletion and it is esti- mated that Canadian forests are cle- pleted at the rate of upwards of five and a half billion cubic feet per an- num. "s At a conference held last Thursday at the Parliament Buildings between Hon, G. S. Henry, Minister of Rail-. ways; J. S. Fairty, H. A. Hall and G. H.'drasy, solicitors, representing the T.T.C, York Township and Weston, it was stated the Provincial Highways Department/would guarantee the To- ronto Transportation Commission against bus competition on the Wes, ton Road to the extent of refusing per- mits for buses handling local traffic between Weston and the city limits. This ruling does not include traffic originating north of Weston. Mr. Henry adheres to the position stated by him in a letter to Mayor Flynn, of Weston, as follows: "Should the service in York Town- ship and Weston become munieipally owned and the municipalities request we to protect them against bus oper- ation, I would feel it incumbent on me to refuse permits for local service. In this way. any permits that would be granted on Weston Road would he for long-distance passengers coming from north of Weston." " From time to time we hear of our boys and girls making good, some at home, others on the western coast of our country, others in the great mis- sion fields of the west and the Orieni, and from all parts of the world of which time and space will not permit to repeat. Agriculture, science, business, commercial and professional and all walks of life are represented. These are the products of our schools. We will have a few failuers; this is inevit- able. Yet who would be foolish enough to say this and that is no good because someone else has failed to accomplish the end! If Weston is to grow and because the residential centre for which she is adapted, the home of the city toiler, then she must have well equipped schools, and in this Weston Board of Education is to be congratulated and upheld in their efforts to secure these. TIE. ElSSllEll UN Mi Jlg?liflf The world of science has not yet been discovered, and who knows but' to a boy or girl going out from Wes- ton school may be granted the privil- ege of saving many a life and easing the sick bed of its wearisonle burden of pain because in Weston school he or she laid the foundation of the know- ledge that enabled them to discover this hidden treasure trove of medlcal lore! Sometimes we hear criticism of the expenditures of our Board of Educa- tion, the high rate of taxes because of the schools, but do we stop to con- sider? These schools represent an in- vestment, not in lands, houses or stock, but in human lives. The boys and ‘girls of our town, the coming genera- [tion of our country. Possibly the ‘money invested in this way will not bring the quick returns of the stock market or the money exchange. It will not give an get-rich-quick returns. We have to wait five years, ten years or even longer to realize our dividends, and then they may not come to us just in money, the coffers, in land or in bank notes. But rest aisured they will come, and when they come, it will be interest, with compound interest added, returns that will make our blood flow quicker in veins that are possibly growing sluggish with age. It will be the satisfaction of seeing a boy or girl making good. We read to-day with pride of the discovery of insulin, radium, cancer and tubercular cures, once the dreaded enemies of our na- tion, now losing some of their terror' because medical science due to high and vocational school training has con- quered. V . -vaesiat"s' a strong sense of duty to their fel- lowmen, not only in the social life, but in a commercial, business and profes- sional sense. Men and women who can stand up against their fellowmen from other countries on a level or even a higher notch than this, capable of holding down the high positions of life and doing the big things in all lines, WESWN’ HIGH SMI BLDG. mllllFfifilllll Rapid progress is being made in the addition to the Weston High and Vo- cational Schools and every prospect promises the building to be completed within the alloted time, that of Octo- ber lst. The building when completed will be an imposing one, giving Wer. ton one of the finest and most up-to- date, fully equipped schools to be found in the province. In speaking to one of our citizens the other day, the remark was passed: "Will we have the children to fill this school?" And his remark: "We have the children," may well give food for reflection on the part of many of our citizens. Yes, we hare the children and if Weston is to maintain her present high standard of efficiency and progress we must equip these children to go out into the world as good men and women, men and wo- men with high standards of morality, Local Vocational and High School Will be a Big Asset to Town, When Completed trmits Not To Be Issued Be- tween Weston and City, Says Highways Minister WEST YORKS NEWSY WEEKLY UN Sanskrit, the language of the Brah- mans of India, spoken at the time of King Solomon, has been much studied of late years. A complete literature in this ancient language has been dis- covered in India. Translations have been published in English. _ -- A 226-mile highway will be built in England between London and Liver- pool at a cost of $325,000 a mile. The road is to have no cross roads and will pass through no towns. It will be double, with a roadway for slow traf- fic and one for fast travel, with no speed limit on the section for fast go- ing. A toll equivalent to a cent the ton will be charged. This is the first garden of its kind in the Province of Ontario under the scheme made by the Rev. W. M. Mc-. Kay, and which was approved by the Minister of Agriculture. It is owned by the municipality and consists of one acre of land. Our gardeners are divided into four sections: Seniors who have 900 sq, ft.; intermediates, 600 sq. ft,; juniors, 400 sq ft., and beginners, 200 sq. ft. We have ten pupils in each class. Besides these we have two smaller plots known as our kinder- garten department. It may interest the public to know that two little tots about six years of age at. our com- mencement pleaded for lots, We felt they were too young to undertake a garden in our beginners' section so we gave them a lot each of about 50 sq. ft. ' May I be allowed to emphasize this! Doubtless there are many residents of Weston who have never paid a visit and through your paper I shall be glad of the opportunity to extend to them a hearty invitation. Thursday is our class night and it is on this night that we invite the at- tendance of the public. The sight of forty children busy working and all de- voted to their task is one not to be easily forgotten. As this garden was only plowed under last fall the public will appreciate the work done when they see the condition of the gardens. It would be absurd were we to say that they are perfection. It is impos- sible in one year to c,arry out our plans. It is beautiful to-day, but we hope next year by the addition of tnees,‘shrubs and flowers to have a decided improve- ment. No small measure of the suc- cess of the gardens is due to my col- league, Mr. Frank Shorney, who has been untiring in his efforts. Editor, Times and Guide Dear Sir: In your last issue you very kindly gave an article on the Juvenile Com- munity Gardens; you also made an appeal to the public to pay a visit. There is withing more stimulating to the child than to know that parents and friends are interested in their work. Might I ask in conclusion for a demonstration of sympathy from the public by paying us a visit! I am, sir, Possibly it Would not be out of place to speak a word as to the num- ber of beautiful stones placed as mark- ers on many of the cemetery lots by the driends_of the departed just an- other tokengof the love and remem- brance that remaineth, e'en though the voice be hushed andiootsteps silent for evermore. In this as well as other community matters QMeston citizens have taken heed, paying their respects lind outward tokens of honor to those who have gone before, many of them pioneers, having bl;azed the trail for the rich heritage we now enjoy. J Many graves there are with friends too far away to give the care their hearts crave for our dead, and if it were not for the care given these plots by our local cemetery caretaker they would be left unsightly blocks in the midst of well kept plots. C Taking further not of our surround- ings we find the grass n,eatly cut, un- sightly rubbish relegated to the back-. ground, and this year a most magni- ficent bed of flowering plants placed in the centre of the cemetery; also comfortable seats placed here and there throughout the grounds adds to our comfort. The attractive entrance gates and urns filled with flowering plants on either side is also an attraction. This is all the work of the Cemetery Committee, and without it much of the harmony would be lost. Weston has reason to be proud of her cemetery, firstly for its situation, situated as it is on a high level, over- looking the surroundirig country, in this way symbolizing the vastness of the life beyond whichmas called cur loved ones from us; aliso drawing our minds to a certain eytent from the coldness, sadness and gloom of the un- welcome visitor, death, who has visited our home and taken from us these loved ones. Yet as we visit these small mounds of earth from time to time, sacred because of the loved one sleeping be- neath the sod, we cannot but be im- pressed with these natural beauties and our pain assuaged by the soft summer breeze that caresses our cheeks as we dream our dreams of the happy days and associations of days gone by, when speech answered speech, and the voice now silent encouraged; us, in the daily routine of life and its many problems. We wonder how many of the local friends who from time to time visit the silent city of our dead across the river, known as Riverside Cemetery, ever realize the amount of work and thoughtful care experienced on this sacred plot of ground? _ LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Riverside Cemetery Committee to be Congratulated on Up- . keep of Cemetery WESTON, ONT. WEDNESDAY,‘ JULY 28, 1925 VEHSIUE EEMEIEHY I WELL BARE! M WALTER J. "POLLET'I‘ Yours faithfully, l Now is the time to begin to plan your exhibit. ‘Do not Wait until the week previous to the fair. If you are putting through a business deal,,you plan your campaign before hand. If you intend to grow good crops, you prepare the soil. If you expect your dairy business to be a paying concern, you select your herd for that purpose; and so all through life "you first plan what you intend to do, then lay the foundation, and from there build up." Exhibitors at the ONE. or any of the large industrial fairs know just what they will show 'months’ before the time of making out their-entry list, and the same principals must be ap- plied to the local fair if it is to be a success and fill the need of the L'001- munity it aims to serve. Let every person within the limits of Weston Fair this year resolve to make Weston Fair one that will be something worth while having this as their motto, "A Community Builder and means of advertising Weston, York, North York and Etobicoke as one of the most progressive, commer- cial, industrial and isgrticultural cen- tres in the Dominion of Canada." This may sound like a big task, but we can do it if we only set our minds to it and all pull together. Sir Henry Drayton visited Islington on Thursday evening last, the guest of the Conservative Association, the meet- ing being held at the home of Mrs. E. M. Clapp, Islington Ave. yrs. Mathieson .was in the chair, and, in addition to the speech from Sir Henry, Mr. Earl Lawson and Miss Beatrice Howell spoke. “‘ -- . '. _2_a___, _.,.a., Mr, and Mrs. Thos.

U ___ _-r-__. ___ HENRY UHAYTUN Delivers Address to Islington Conservative Assoc. on Present Day Problems _ What is true in the Live Stock De- partment is also true in dairy, home products, horticultural, domestic and fine arts, commercial, manufacturing, etc. All these have a place in the community life, therefore should be a feature in the Fall Fair. N Fall Fairs are first and foremost an educational factor, but unless the peo- ple connected with them see to having the exhibits large enough to provide material for comparison, then to a large extent they fail to accomplish their purpose and the money expended in carrying through the fall show is but so much wasted enery and loss to the community it serves. With the passing of the days and weeks we are rapidly drawing to the close of July, then comes August, to be followed by September, an impor- tant month for the people of Weston, York, North York and Etobicoke,-as September 22-23 are fair days. The annual fall show has been set for these dates this year, and already the various committees are at work ar- ranging prizes, securing exhibits, amusements and the many and one lit- tle details connected with the holding of a good show. The executive's aim this year to have Weston Fair excel that of previous years. In order to do this they must have your co-opcr- ation, not only as a visitor on the day of the show, but as an exhibitor. Boys and girls can help out in this particular by entering the lists of com- petitors. You may not be a winner, as only a few can qualify on this ra- tio, but the educational advantages to be gained will far outweigh any dis. appointment you may have. The boy or girl with a pet animal will add much to the interest of the exhibit in their special class if they make an en- try; they will also discover from the judge's notes in making the awards the superior points of the winning ani- mal and the defects of the loser. The latter may be overcome by feeding, or possibly housing conditions, or in breeding, the latter being an im- portant factor. There is always a remedy; the essential need is to find the cause, then the cure can be easily accomplished. To-day as never be- fore the demand is for better slock, with a big outcry against the scrub or inferior animal, and one way to ac- complish this is educate people along lines necessary for the production of high class stock.
