; | There was a peculiarly touching spirit of sentimentality about the reâ€" cent gathering of the members of the Pastime club, an organization formed sometime ago by a number of young ladies of the district when they electâ€" ed to the presidency of their body Mrs. J.._C. Johnston. § 8 The matter was discussed at some Tength, but on the suggestion of Reeve Graham it was decided to lay the whole scheme before the T.T.C. officâ€" ials at an early conference. _ Reeve Price has been more or less in favor of trying to arrive at some scheme as between the two municipalities, someâ€" ;ging on the basis as that which perâ€" ~\4Â¥ains with York and Waston. but in view of the joint interests of the T. T.C., such.plans as he had are apâ€" pa;ent}y :no§ ‘f‘easible. s & i (o uy DSpTode .t : C [Ordt A, unique feature ; of the eyening was the presentation of four gifts as tokens of service with the club, the chief one going to Mrs. Johnston,.who held the distinctive honor of having been the first president, and being in office for the close of the organizaâ€" tion.. The other three gifts were preâ€" sented to the Misses Mary Hawkins, Nellie Somerville and Marjorie Beamâ€" ish, the latter having the unique disâ€" tinction of being a constant member of the organization since its inception. There were some delightful and inâ€" teresting talks indulged in during the evening, and reminiscences of the past were gone over by members. At (the recents coniferencesibetween York township council and members of the Etobicoke township council with representatives of the Islington Busiâ€" ness Men‘s Association in regard, to the transportation services of the latâ€" ter place, little was done beyond preâ€" senting the local scheme for considâ€" Alation. MRA C w s ome Te mapRas ccdls aam <‘@‘â€"EKxâ€"Reeve Tier, of Etobicoke, preâ€" sented the claims for a joint service that would eliminate the present bus line, operating over the Dundas highâ€" way from Six Comers to Runnymede and Dundas, as well as theâ€" present York township Dundas car line. The ;513,1’15 are to institute a route of buses operated by the T.T.C. from Six Corâ€" ners, alternating along Bloor Street, up Jane to Runnymede, thence alorg Dundas out to Six. Corners again. Other buses are to operate alternateâ€" ly on the opposite route. For this cecremony what was termâ€" ed a farewell party‘ was‘ arranged, to which all past and present members were expected to ‘attend. ‘The patrty was a really enjoyable littleé funetion. Cards were played by those present, resulting in Mrs. Johnston being winâ€" mer of the first and Mrs. Magee takâ€" ng Roond * * "adlis ~ In view of the vast number of peoâ€" ple carried on the two services likely to be affected, the outcome of the jeint meeting will be, no doubt, watchâ€" ed with considerable interest by the people of the affected areas. The Lambton line, as it is known, has nevâ€" er proved a successful venture, as a money maker, and any course that will tend to wipe out the monthly lossâ€" es of this line must surely be acceptâ€" able to the taxpayers of the township of York, just as the proposed added service would be acceptable to Islingâ€" ton.

Comment was also made on the splendid attention that was given by the audience and the studious care that was given by all that no action or sound should mar the prospects of either competitor. This in itself reâ€" flects upon the wonderful discipline that maintains in the schools of the district and of the general good beâ€" haviour that must maintain in the children of the area. Last week saw the pupils of the first form competing, and one and all of the entrants gave a splendid acâ€" count. of themselves, bringing down applause that was well earned for their respective efforts. â€" From this class there was five who entered, they being Miss Edith Goudge, Miss Gertrude Symon and Miss Thelma Dempster, with Douglas Hill and Clifâ€" ford Manser. Miss Edith Goudge took Silk as the title of her discourse and was adâ€" judged the winner of the competition, receiving the greatest allâ€"round numâ€" ber ‘of marks.~ Miss Gertrude Symon dealt with Indians as her subject, and gave such a remarkable study that she earned the second place. _ Miss Dempster‘s subject covered a someâ€" what wide range, but was treated in a masterful manner, the title being Preparation, Perseverance and Sucâ€" cess.>. Clifford Manser treated with a topical matter, that of Reforestation, while Douglas Hill took the subject of Matches. & £ The winners were each presented with a splendid book of poems.. A feature of the evening was the very excellent treatment of the various subâ€" jects and the mode of delivery in the synopsis of the finding of the judges, by Mrs. King, evincing, as she did, a wonderful grasp of the several disâ€" courses and a rapt attention to the whole proceedings. L.0.8 A. SOMAL A MRKED SUCCFSS The judges for the contest were Mrs. G. B. King, Mrs. (Rev.) J. H. Wells and Mrs. R. H. Tier, and they were faced with a more or less diffiâ€" eult problem in deciding on the merâ€" its of the speakers for the purpose of which they instituted a system of marks for different phases of comâ€" portment and rendering of treatment of the divers subjects. . _ . § Dr. J. G. Cunningham, of the Proâ€" vincial Department of Public Health, who has been making investigations concerning ethyl gasoline, reports to Hon. Forbes Godfrey that, apart from manufacture and blending, the pracâ€" tical dangers to workers at. service stations and garages are: 1. Contact with the fluid, as at filling stations, and to a lesser extent in garages and repair work. 2. Inhalation of lead dust wherever spills and splashes of the fluid have dried. 8. Exposure to exâ€" haust fumes. Where ethyl gasoline is used the exhaust may contain lead in the form of very finely divided parâ€" ticles of lead, which, unlike the carbon monoxide in the fumes, does not difâ€" fuse rapidly, but hangs in the air. Garage workers employed all day in such atmosphere could easily inhale dangerous amounts of lead, and the ordinary dangers of any. car owner running his engine in an unventilated enclosure are increased by the addiâ€" tion of lead to his fuel. Precautions Recommended Precautions recommended by Dr. Cunningham are that pumps and conâ€" tainers should be labelled "Ethyl gasâ€" oline containing tetraethyl lead," and that both workers and the . public should be warned against skin conâ€" tacts and against. the use of ethyl gasoline for(cleaning or any other purpose than motor fuel. Dr. Cunâ€" ningham further says they should be warned against the increased danger from exhaust fumes, and in repair shops and filling stations, etc., special attention should be paid to ventilation and prevention of dust. _ So far as the blending is concernâ€" ed, Dr. Godfrey is now satisfied that the blending process as now done by automatic machinery at Sarnia is sate. Warnings suggested by Dr. Cunâ€" ningham have been sent out by the Provincial Department of Health. _ WARMING AUTOISTS AND GARAGE ME LOSAL CONTESTS â€"OF ORMTORIGALISTS Provincial Department of Public Health View the Use of Ethyl Gasoline THE TIMES AND GUIDE, WESTON The oratorical contest held in the schools last week were productive of some very excellent viewpoints, as deâ€" livered by the contestants, which brought forth praise from the judges and other auditors. There is much good to be derived from such contests. Talking of windows reminds that Johnston will present a fine spectacle in the course of a few days with the exhibition of prizes that are to be won in a forthcoming event in the district. Look for it. & Real estate men of the district inâ€" timate that there is a decided moveâ€" ment for improvement in their line, with many inquiries for homes for rent and particulars of properties for sale. New building is also proceeding in some sections. The work on the new Armstrong home is being pushed to completion. How many people will pass Davis‘ drug store window during the next week and not look in.. It would be almost impossible to count the numâ€" ber that do, for such an attractive appearance as its presents commands attention and a halt. Just try a smell of that delicate Rosebud cream. It‘s fine. Islington Business Men‘s Associaâ€" tion members are in for a treat on Monday next, the date of their reguâ€" lar meeting. The attendance of that splendid speaker,Mr. J. Earle Lawson, has been segured and the title of his address will be "Laws Governing Busâ€" iness Organization." This is a subâ€" ject that should command the attenâ€" tion of every member of the associaâ€" Saturday last witnessed the arrival of another family from the city, Mr. W. E. Adlam and family having taken up residence in the late home of the Beesley family on Nesbitt Avenue. A warm welcome is extended to the newâ€" comers. tion It may be interesting to the local boy scouts to know that in a general way they have no less than the govâ€" ernorâ€"general of Canada, Lord Wilâ€" lingdon, behind their. movement. Speaking recently in regard to the reduction of the income tax, he sugâ€" gested that it would be a good idea for those who felt the benefit of this to allocate maybe ten per cent. of their reduction to furthering the work of the boy scout movement in the Doâ€" minion. Thanks should be extended for the kindly sentiment expressed. It is understood that the Ratepayâ€" ers‘ Association, of Islington, have in the course of . making a basketball team that will eventually prove seeâ€" ond to none in the district. Under the able management of Mr. J. Beamâ€" ish, great strides are being made in putting the organization in shape. The team may be seen in operation on Tuesday evenings at the popular renâ€" dezvous, the school gym. By the way, Chief Wyant is enâ€" deavoring to arrange for the Firemen to undertake some systematie form of training. ‘The men will take some exâ€" ereises inâ€"the,gym, and eventually it is hoped may be. accommodated in t!'leil"own iquarters for further exerâ€" cises. ; There is every indication that the new industry to the district, the Staveâ€"Lokt Barrel Co., will be in full operation on their newly acquired site on Kipling Avenue, by about June. This firm expects to engage when in full operation some 150 men. { Incidentally the tickets for the first anfnual ‘concert: being put on by the Firemen are going like hot cakes, so get after that one for. yourself and friend.

Reports of the sale of tickets for the first annual concert to be put on by the local Volunteer Fire Departâ€" ment are most encouraging and lead the Firemen to believe that they will see a bumper gathering on the eventâ€" ful night, March 1lith, at the Comâ€" munity Hall.

Regret is expressed csfor the fact that Mr. Ormiston. of the Imperial oil “sjca.tion at Bloor St. is confined to his bed with illness. While he is not expected back for at least another week, his many friends are looking forward to his return as soon as poSsâ€" sible" with restored health. â€"â€" Signs of the advance of the season are evidenced in the deliveries of garden seeds that were observed arâ€" riving at one of the local stores the other day. % For the information of those interâ€" ested, d ‘court of xevision will be sitâ€" ting at the town hall on~March 28th next. Further particulars in regard to this will be published. in next NGTON NOTES Everybody is asked to remember and mark their calendars to note that the boy scouts will be holding their concert on April 8th. It is a long way off, say some; but, living up to the motto of the boys, forewarned is forearmed, and early notice enables everyone to "be prepared." Regret is expressed throughout the district at the illness of Canon Green, who has been ailing with an attack of influenza. â€" It is hoped that he will soon regain his former health and be around before long. Mr. John Foster is observed out and about again, and it is confidently hoped that he is now well on the road to complete recovery from his recent serious illness, On Friday of this week the 2nd and 3rd form pupils will be going through their elimination ‘tests for the same contest. Some outstanding subjects will be reviewed at this meetâ€" ing, it is expected. Now is the time to get those hotbed frames set going and in order. Kirkâ€" by Bros. are carrying a stock of glass that will fill your every requirement in this line. Incidentally, did you look over their showing of fancy china. These things make excellent prizes and presents. St. Patrick‘s Day is not far distant. You will be wanting the necessary decoration supplies. Get these locally. Davis will be having a stock of all that you may need, or is prepared to get at short notice just what you want. Don‘t worry down town.. Let the other fellow do that worrying. MUMGIPALITIES AND THENR ROADS An 85â€"yearâ€"old widower was marâ€" ried to a woman half his age, who had been twice married before, in a Belâ€" fast church. The bridal pair walked from a tramcar to the church, outside which a large crowd had gathered. Speaking recently at the convention of the Ontario Good Roads Commisâ€" sion, the Hon. G. S. Henry, minister of provincial highways, touched on the problem of the construction of county bridges and the making of roads under statute labor. _ s § Re arding the employ of statute laâ€" bor, %’Ir. Henry declared, "I am glad to see the statute labor system disâ€" appearing too. The system has outâ€" lived its usefulness, so much so that the department regards as unproâ€" gressive‘, any municipality which still uses it.‘ 7 3 . Proceeding, he said on the matter of county bridges, "We are only giving 40 per cent. of the cost of bridges more than fifty feet in length, and we propose to bonus counties which are willing to set out exactly what bridges they have under their jjuri§dic‘tion, and are willing to turn back the other bridges to the municipalities, i.e., bridge structures under 20 feet. The department will give 40 per cent. ‘of the cost of county bridge structures, which are over fifty feet in length, and thirty per cent. of the cost of bridges under fifty feet, but more than twenty feet." f The concessions made apparent in this remark lends itself to the induceâ€" ment of municipalities building strucâ€" tures that will more readily take care of the prospective increase of traffic, which must follow, in the opening up of any section by better roads, and is one worthy of deep thought on the part of all municipalities. In so far as the matter of statute labor is concerned, one sees the possiâ€" bility of municipalities willingly deâ€" parting from the use of this form of labor in connection with . its road work. The resultant infroduction of a permanent local road ‘ department will bring its reward, for where a muâ€" nicipality, through the,. inception .. of such a branch of service, is placed in a position to maintain a uniform good condition of its roads, it is reasonable that that municipality will thereby inâ€" duce traffic, and traffic mg‘ansyb}ig,i-’f ness. ho The monthly meeting of Richview Women‘s Institute will be held at the home of Mrs. Wm. Clarkson, on Wedâ€" nesday, March 9th, at 2.30 p.m. Miss Joyce, of Windsor, will be the speakâ€" er.edAll the friends are cordially inâ€" vited. Remarking that the â€" department have now supervisors in the field, he mentioned that this fact had been a great source of help to the local enâ€" gineers of municipalities, in the matâ€" ter of road construction and the awarding of contracts. _ ‘"We would like," he said, "and feel we ought, to sit in, on your conferences, in the municipalities, when you are awardâ€" ing contracts." C f Minister of Highways on Roads and Bridgesâ€"A Review by ‘The Ranger‘ With the periodic returns published) by several agencies of the roadâ€"com ditions in any area, and the undoubtâ€" ed imparting of _ unfavorable condiâ€" tions through persistent users of a given area, it is reasonable that news of the more favorable‘state of other roads possible to be used will also rapâ€" idly become known.‘ . Naturally this district commands the traffic. s It will be said that more traffic will the sooner wear out a roadway: Granted, but if more traffic means more trade, the burden of this wearâ€" ing out of roads will not be felt to such an extent as would be the case where a district had little trade inâ€" duced their way and yet were faced with the need of road upkeep for loâ€" cal use. All roads must be of a charâ€" acter as to meet more than the deâ€" mands of the locality they must lend themselves also to the wonderful growing movement of traffic throughâ€" out the province.
