Brake Tests Urged Churchill Visits France Do you realize just what Prime Minister Churchill is doing? Here is another visit to Normmngy to see first hand the situation. Was there ever in history a leader so active. Few men have made such a conâ€" tribution and had so many battles to overcome personally and nationâ€" ally to win victory or success. Last Friday afternoon Weston Volunteer Fire Brigade received two calls in somewhat quick sucâ€" cession. The first was to Downsâ€" view on Wilson Ave. for a grass fire, while the second was to a shed in Westmount. The shed was a complete loss. The sympathy of the district is extended to the family of the late James McQueen, who passed away on Friday, Aug. 11, in Mount Denâ€" nis, in his 80th year. Funeral serâ€" vices were held from the Flynn Undertakers Funeral Residence, Weston Road, on Monday, with inâ€" terment in Prospect Cemetery. Mrs. M.

Prime Minister Churchill arrived in Italy last week and travelled to France and talked with General Montgomery and other Allied war leaders.

The right of members of the Provincial Police force to exercise their authority at their di_lcre_tion in ejecting suspected bookmakers from race tracks was upheld last week by Mr. Justice Roach in a judgment at Oszoode Hall. His Lordship rejected a motion by William P. Dunn, evieted from Dufferin race track last June, seeking an order restraining memâ€" bers of the Ontario Provincial Police antiâ€"gambling squad from a repetition of any similar act. Asserting there was nothing to inâ€" dicate Dunn was guilty of any ofâ€" fense, Joseph P. Mangan, counsel for Dunn, contended there was no statutory authority for the removal of Dunn.

Clutterbuck had outlined events leading up to the discharge,,.of two township policemen and the receipt of resigâ€" nations from four others, and Chief Thomas Draycott was asked to forward a report to the commisâ€" sion on police matters. Just 2,250 new automobiles reâ€" mained in the governmentâ€"controlâ€" led pool to assure transportation for essential users, such as physiâ€" cians and police departments. With demands for new cars increasing as models in use grow older and less efficient, it is estimated the entire pool will be exhausted in 10 mos. On top of this shortage, the numâ€" ber of good used cars has decreasâ€" ed steadily, In peaceâ€"time about 61,000 cars a year are taken off the road in the normal course of wear and tear.. In 1941 there were some 1,277,613 Â¥assenger cars in use in Canada, It is estimated that the number now has dropped to 1,193,â€" 827 and is going down at the rate of about 40,000 a year.
