Manier, Jr., of Nashville Tenn., Succeeds Ed. R. Johnson as President of In‘ last week‘s issue we presented part of the second half of President . Wotherspoon‘s report of the Rotary rnational Atlantic City Convenâ€" as given recently ie(on the estonâ€"Mt. Dennis Rotary Club. The balance and conclndln{ part of his reâ€" port is given herewith: He continues with his remarks on the addresses given on Wednesday. "The meeting for Clubs of less than 49 members was held in the Manâ€" darin Hall, Haddon Hall Hotel. The next address was in the nature of an International Round Table discussion and was entitled ‘What Rotary Means to My Country‘ under the chairmanâ€" ship of Maurice Duperrey, of Interâ€" national Service Committee, Paris, "I did not attend this meeting, but fut back to the Convention Hall at 2 noon in time to hear a wonderful address by Paul C. Martin of Springâ€" field, Ohio, Rotary Club. Paul was a very effective speaker and his address was ‘The Unfinished Task‘. He said that ‘the unfinished task‘ is the fourth objective of Rotary, which is internaâ€" tional understanding through fellowâ€" fip. A nation is moved to action by dominant imagination of its peoâ€" ple. ‘We developed in the years of material prosperity, a quantitative ther than, a gu-litative imagination. e â€" quantitative ima{lnation was ourished by ideals of bigness, the mense growth of cities, the great expansion of production, and internaâ€" tional trade, the conquering bigness of great units of industry. Our qualiâ€" tative imagination, which might have led us to inquire not how big we were, but how fine we might be, was underâ€" nourished. If we are to assist in reachâ€" ing International understanding, we must develop a qualitative imaginaâ€" tion. It will cause us to talk less of what some nations owe us, and more of what we owe the world by very reason of our size, our resources and the relative security ‘of our geographiâ€" R location.

Holleyâ€"Recalls Early Days Hale and hearty despite his adâ€" vanced years, glad of the fact that he has no."aches or pains" and able to enjoy to the full a daily walk from his home on Church Street to the Post Office for his mail, Thomas Holley quietly celebrated his eightyâ€"ninth birthday on Monday. e Born on lot 9, concession 5, York ‘Township, which has since become the | township of North York, Mr. Holley has resided in Weston about 25 years. Until 1873, when he marricd Ellen Elizabeth Simpson of South Weston, he was a farmer. After his marriage he became a carpenter and barn raisâ€" er, and erected many barns in the district. Recalls Moving Church Mr. Holley told of moving a church threeâ€"quarters of a mile down the main stréet of Weston. It was about thirtyâ€"five years ago, he said, and the church was on Rectory Road. "We put the building on rollers and after we started to move it, we found that some of the telephone poles had to be moved back from the street line ‘so that the church could pass. I put a block and tackle on one pole and anchored it to an apple tree. The nole was pulled back so far I thought it would snap. Even with the pole | pulled back the roof of the church | grazed it in passing." | Banks‘ School Mr. Holley has the distinction of beâ€" linz one of the few remaining resiâ€" dents of the town who can claim the | distinetion of having attended "Banks‘ | School", Weston‘s first schoolhouse. | At that time the classes were held |in the building which became the | plant of the Langstaff Pump Works. \"‘There were 25 pupils in the school, \and stern, dignified old Mr. Banks | was the principal,". he _rehtes.' _ | _ Mr. Holley recalls the turning of the first sod for the extension of Toâ€" \ronto, Grey and Bruce_Railway line \north from Weston. The ceremony | was performed by the then Duke of Connaught and the site was behind what is now the coal yard of Ashbee and Son Coal Company. _ o Mr. Holley‘s wife predeceased him about eight years ago. He has five sons, Chief of Police J. E. Holley, Weston; Fire Chief William Holley, Weston; â€" Raymond of California: James of Vancouver, and George, of Tavistock. â€" â€" â€" . _ The Times and Guide joins with his many friends in wishing him many happy returns of the day. Mr Holley takes a keen interest in current events and in the affairs of Weston, where he is a familiar and we‘ll loved figure. _ _ _ _ oms WEST TORONTO BOWLERS wWIN THE FARR TROPHY Second Place in Tournament Won By Rusholme Club gupoares "by‘ a *h‘ thaped "by "ar ?‘Ifl of the. 5'v"e¢ 1“omto Ch;.

Chase, his mother, says. "He joined the Scouts soon after and has worked hard at his various tests ever since. Of course he can‘t go camping in the woods, but it is remarkable how many interesting things bedridden Scouts can do. He has guided visitors through the hospital instead of the lforen.

Pending outcome of a conference beâ€" tween the church board and the depuâ€" tation, Works .Commissioner W. H. Walker temporarily suspended work on the church by refusing to issue a building permit. The delegates pointed out that they didn‘t object to the church but to its location. Mr. Carroll claimed that the building would be virtually on the street line and pointed out that while there are restrictions on homes in the district, there are none on the church nro:;ny which also could not be taxed. Council was informed that the property had originally been owned by a real estate company and had passed into the hands of a bank and finally was sold to the church board. Reeve W. A. Armstrong suggested that after the lease has expired the township could impose restrictions on the property. "Council could do a lot if it wished to," declared Mrs. E. Boomer. "If the property were owned by the township there would be quick acâ€" tion." Dr. R. P. Lowery, representing the church board, denied that depreciaâ€" tion of property would : follow.
