Mr. Banks was well known by residents in and around Weston, also Aurora and New market, having spent most of his life farming in these districts. He is survived by ten children, beâ€" ing predeceased by his wife, the late Ella Castator Banks, three years ago. Pall bearers were his six sons, Stanley, Ernest, George, John, Joseph and Garnet. The four daughters surviving are Mrs. Vera Forrett, Mrs. Walter Fisher, Mrs. Earl Prosser and Mrs. Harry Flynn. Also surviving are two brothers and one sister, Mr. W. Banks, Weston; Mr. A. Banks, Mount Dennis, and Mrs. Will Pearâ€" son of Grimsby. Interment took place at the Pines Cemetery, Humâ€" mit Summit. Mr. Hooper of Hardâ€" ington Mission was in charge of the service. > Funeral Service HeldFor The Late Edwin Banks mation for all offices speaks highly of the satisfaction received from the retiring council. o n It is most unfortunate that the town will loose the services of three outstanding citizens namely: Foster H. Rowntree, who has given twelev years‘ service to this muniâ€" cipality and who, althought critiâ€" cal of certain actions of the govâ€" erning body of which he was a member, has always made his reâ€" marks and his acts with the thought of service to the citizens. The resignation through failure to seek reâ€"election of Harry Clarke is a loss to the town but we feel sure that when the people learn of Harâ€" ry‘s intention to serve in other lines, they will readily understand his reason for leaving the Town Council. George W. Gardhouse, the other member of 1941â€"1942 council, who failed to seek reâ€"elecâ€" tion, is the son of William J. Gardhouse.

Secretary Josh Henkel will keep a record of each group thus affordâ€" ing a wider opportunity for the transportation of members to the scene of an emerÂ¥ency. It was pointed out several times that a group of men ~are willing to make this jesture only to find that they are not in that particular group. By this move of the club this condition will be eliminated. For the guidance of members, the Weston Hospital for Consumpâ€" tives have been contacted and Miss Sherk of the Laboratory Staff has expressed herself as beâ€" ing fully in sympathy with the move and willing â€" to coâ€"operate any time between nine and five during the week.

The ;;E:' are cordially invited to a # It is difficult to say who are suffering the most keenly in these tragic days, those who mourn for the dear boys who have made the supreme sacrifice on the field of battle, or those who wait in fear and dread lest the next postman or telegraph messenger brings them news that will make their hearts stand still. In the one case the terrible suspense is over; we know tfne worstâ€"or perâ€" haps, as we think of the horrors yet before us, we should say the best. In the other case there are multitudes whose lives are a constant torture of anxiety and who can say, "we die daily". For those who have passed through a great agony of soul and for those who are praying that the bitter cup may pass from them, one question is supremeâ€"where is strength and consultation to be found in this dark hour? As we look through our blinding mist of tears, what answer has God to the longing and the pain of our hearts? â€" Reason reels amid the tragedies by which our life is desolated.. We summon our faith to our aid; but still there is & tugging at our heartâ€"strings which will not be quieted or quelled. Is there a balm for these wounded hearts? Is there a physician who can heal them? With all the assurance born of faith and experience, we can say most emphatically, there is. When heart and flesh faint and fail, God is the strength of our heart and our portion for ever. 1. In the first place it is something for which to be profoundly thankful that our boys were willing to obey what to them was the callâ€"of God, and even to give up their lives in a holy causeâ€"the cause of freedom and truth. "Our joy and pride in them is that, having much to live for, they did not weigh their own pleasure or interest for a moment in the scale with duty. And they went down the dark valley with a song because they had kept their souls. They did not ask if it would pay; they only knew it was right. And if God be God, to follow right were wisdom, in the scorn of consequence. Truly it is by these things that men live and ‘By the soul only, the nations shall be great and free‘. It is all too great for words, too beautiful for regret, this thing that the lads have done. For surely life has no other value than thisâ€"to put it to a beautiful use.. And our boys have seen That, which, when it calls to the deeps in a man, he cannot choose but answer and is made willing to leave all that he has, yielding himself up to the destinies of God. And what a destiny! To live in a great hour and know it, and not to be deaf when the Spirit calls! What‘else matters in the life of a man but that he should always and everywhere take the high road? It was that road the boys chose. 2. Then is it not & great consolation to think of our boys going right into the presence of God in all the beauty and strength of their young manhood? "On everything here fails the allâ€"disâ€" solving acid of Time, and the law of mortality and death irresistibly asserts itself. That ebbing away of might is the really tragic thing in human life. We have before our eyes continually the sight of decaying strength in a decaying world." But our dear boys who have completed their mission Have been spared the ravages of time and the disillusionments and sorrows which age brings. "They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary theng, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them". They have passed into the fuller life with all their youthful enthusiasms and high ideals. We will always remember them in the perfection of their young manhood. Like their divine Master, they finished their work ere the sun began to decline, and God has given them the crown of life. 3. But the greatest consolation is to know that God is in our sorrow, even though it be in a mysterious way. The psalmist said, "I was dumb, I opened not my mouth, because thou didst it". This is all the assurance that any child of God needs. On the tombstone of Theodore Cuyler‘s boy is the following inscription: "Who plucked that flower?" cried the gardener. His fellow servant answered, ‘The Master‘. And the gardener held his peace". The assurance that God is with us as we walk through the dark valley is fitted to quiet our fears; the conviction that He knows best what is for our good and that He makes no mistakes brings peace to our hearts. There is no place for vain regrets in the face of this great assurance. Mrs. Browning has expressed the thought of the comfort which God‘s presence brings in words which have become immortal: All are not taken; there are left behind Living Beloveds, tender looks to bring And make the daylight still a happy thing, , And tender voices to make soft the wind, But if it were not soâ€"if I could find No love in all the world for comforting, Nor any path that hollowly did ring, Where "dust to dust" the love from life disjoined, And if, before those sepulchres unmoving I stood alone (as some forsaken lamb Goes blesting up the moors in weary death) Crying, "Where are you, O my loved and loving," I know a voice would sound, "Daughter, I Am: Can I suffice for Heaven and not for earth?" . And a greater than Mrs. Browning has said: "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me . . . Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you. Let not your'lrt be troubled, neither let it be afraid." Editor‘s Note The above article was written as an editorial in "The Presbyâ€" terian Witness" by the late Dr. Geo. S. Carson, a former member of Runnymede United Church, at the time he received word of the death of his son in action during the first Great War. Dr. Carson was living in Halifax at that time and was editor of the "Withess". Thése words, written more than two decades two, still carry the same vital message today, when the whole world is in the throes of another terrible conflict.

He established the firm of which he was head more than forty years ago and for some years was a resiâ€" dent of Weston. He contested the West York Legislature seat three times. In 1905 he was defeated by J. W. St. John, Speaker of the Whitney Government, and twice by the late Dr. Forbes Godfrey, Minister of Health in the Ferguson Government. 0 e Mr. Verral was instrumental in having â€" Weston _ Fair _ Grounds donated to the town and has left many other memorials in Weston.

The loyal supporters of school section 19, North York, which serves the residents and pupils of Emery and Humber Summit, are silently froud of _ seeing former pupils of the school enter the armed forces and munition plants, or become engaged in other vital war work. Everywhere they are playing a great part, everywhere they are respected and trusted. Among other things, they are helpâ€" ing to preserve intact our gricele:s heritage of educational freedom. At the same time, a new Canada is beinEgr born within the classrooms of Emery. That is why the little red schoolhouse is Emery‘s biggest business and the biggest business needs the biggest men. And beâ€" cause of this, every franchised citizen should exercise his or her vote for school trustee. True, what has been said of Emery may be said of every school section in the Dominion, but here is the difâ€" ference. â€" Many years ago, George Symes pinned his hope for the future of Canada upon the little red schoolâ€" house. Today, there stands in the Runnymede district the George came a trustee in school section 28, Mt. Dennis. Later he became a much respected member of York Township Council and the County Council. Following in their footâ€" steps is a third generation ufii‘r- ing for public office. Wallace S{mu is a candidate for the Board of Trustees of school section 19.

From a trustee who is tried and true tora man who is unâ€" tried. They pause and consider. Wallace Symes was nominated not only to give the supporters of the western part of the school secâ€" tion representation on the Board of Trustees, but because he can also help his fellow trustees to elimiâ€" nate costly, wasteful and ineffiâ€" cient school management in the fuâ€" ture as they have done in the past. The early education into public affairs that Waliace Symes reâ€" ceived had a good deal to do with his outlook on life. He made up his mind to become a worthy repâ€" resentative, to try to take hold of the torch handed down.

Yes, thar she comes, Old Toomerville ‘Trolley aroarin‘ down the track at 15 m.p.h, or so, aswayin‘ and aswingin‘ as if at any moment she will take off and ‘go ‘over the railway bridge instead of under. She approaches the switch. Will the old gal make it? By gad, she‘s done it again. With a violent shudder her front carâ€" riage grabs the switch, while the rear one has no choice but to follow and, swinging into the terminal, the wheels grind to a sudden stop, while. the superstructure, as if anxious to get away from it all, shoots forward and back repeatedly, and finally settles down to a steady groan, awaiting her driver to empty the load one at a time, payâ€"asâ€"youâ€"leave sysâ€" tem. Then the motorman must bring the back to the front (or the front to the back?) before the old gal will even consent to make the return jog. Well, we settle down to wait a while, some fall asleep, while others bite their fingernails» and eventually we move, cautiously, to the switch,. We make it, a sigh goes up from the crowd, who are all awake now, and away we go, roaring safely under the bridge on another momentous trip (but they tell me it‘s even worse further morth). Changing at Rogers Rd., more victims are patientâ€" ly waiting for the other anteâ€" diluvian apology for transporâ€" tation.
