f VOLUME 57, NUMBER 16 John P. Allan One Of Weston‘s Own Sons When John P. Allan or "Jack" as he is known to most, was first called to the mayor‘s chair, after the resignation from sickness of former Mayor "Mike" Harris, it was generally believed that his enâ€" ergy and shrewd business sense would make him @ valuable Chief Magistrate of Weston. That this expectation was well founded has been proved by his record since asâ€" sumin{g the mayoralty in 1942. He had, formerly, given a sample of b};]sinen ability as reeve and counâ€" cillor. As a boy he attended school in Weston. As a younf man he. anâ€" swered the call of his country and enlisted for the first Great War. He saw considerable service and was wounded seriously although seemingly in abundant health at present writing. On his return after the war‘s close, he Gj:ined the staff of the Times and Guide and afterâ€" wards acted as their representative in West Toronto when West Toâ€" ronto weekly was first started. About 22 years ago his abilities made him an outstanding success as a salesman for Toronto Asphalt Roofing Co. where he worke(y for over 20 years. These years of exâ€" perience equipped him for his newâ€" est venture in the business world when he launched the Weston Roofâ€" ing Materials Ltd. at his present location last June. It is generally expected that his business qualifiâ€" tions will enable him to build this business up to where he will reap a well deserved reward in the exâ€" pected building expansion after the war. . Jack‘s interests are not confined to his business and official duties. In spite of the hard work and long hours this involves he still retains his interest in other matters. Alâ€" though he has made a valuable conâ€" tribution to the town as councillor, reeve, deputy reeve and mayor, he has never lost touch with military mctters. Nor has his interest in federal, provincial and _ municipal matters prevented him from showâ€" ing great activity in sports. _ Jack has been something of & traveller and has had varied exâ€" periences in other parts, all of which helps to give him a broader outlook on public miatters. _ He is married to the former Francis Hollings of Birmingham, England, and has a daughter, Franâ€" ces, who is & third year law stuâ€" dent at the University of Toronto. Not to be outdone by her husband Mrs. Allan sponsored the girls‘ softball team in 1941 who won the championship of the York Ladies teams winning the Thorburn Cup. Jack lays claim to being a fourth generation Canadian, his forebears aving settled in Canada in 1834. He is of Scotch descent. He has the distinction of having been one of the first to be baptized in the Anglican Church after its being moved to Weston. He is Progresâ€" sive Conservative in politics. So here we have one of Weston‘s best known citizens. Soldier, newsman, salesman, sportsman, councillor, to mayor with, possibly, further honâ€" ors awaiting him for he is still Of the several new members taken into Weston Business Mens‘ Association one stands out mark-' edly from the fact that heâ€"or rather she is a woman. Mrs. Fay Jewell is the only woman of the Association. To us this looks like a break for this aggressive band of business men and women for i# brings to them a woman‘s outlook on business matters. We certainly hope that this will be the signal for more of the gentler sex and hope to see her take an active part in the work of the association. . Mrs. Jewell Only Woman Member OfWeston‘s Business Men‘s Assoc. And, while we are on the subject, the Business men held their reguâ€" lar meeting last Thursday night with the president, Mr. Jack Petrie, in the cgnir. There was a iood turnout with a spirited but harâ€" monious discussion. Decision was made on the erecâ€" tion of an Honor Roll for Weston and vicinity to be placed at the North East angle of the Municipal Bnildinf. The design was by Mr. Jas. Sainsbury and was considered very satisfactory by the members. It will be, approximately, 8 feet high and 12 feet wide. There are to be 6 glass panel doors over the name gloum which will number from 750 to 1000. The structure e nian kss n full v approaching foot and vehicular tnf?lc.

New Scalp Given Newsboy After Dogs‘ Attack After being badly bitten by two dogs last January, Freddie Culver, North York newsboy bids fair to be as good as new in a short time. It will be remembered that Freddie was backed against a snowâ€"drift and the two dogs lacerated his face leaving it in a terrible condition. Now plastic surgery has accomâ€" plished almost miraculous results in Skin was removed from parts. of his body and grafted on his face. Even a new eyelid had to be proâ€" vided and both ears rebuilt. A sum of over $3700. has been raised by friends for his care uf&r the operâ€" ation and to give him a start in life, rebuilding his face. Plastic surgery is not new but it has made great strides since the war. Although most of the serious operations of skin grafting have been made for war purposes, when the ghastly conflict ceases we may expect the experience gnined by plastic surgeons will be of immense advantage to peaceful world. Wm. Hodges, chairman of the salvage committee, made further arrangements for collection of salvage for the coming collection days, The members donate the use of their own trucks for this work and its value is so great in consideration of the war needs of the material that every patriatic citizen should assist, Paper should be kept separate from other matter, from 12.30 p.m. If carried bhro\gh this will work no hardship on the public and will allow somewhat shorter hours for our hardworked merchants and their staffs, Member and councillor Robt. Huson gave a short talk on street cleaning problems and suggested that merchants mirht assist in this work by sweeping their sideâ€" walks on grldny nif\u, in the business section, so that the dirt nifm be carried away at time of collection instead of Ylttering the streets, â€" Postmaster Will Savage was present to give information to the members on some of the confusion of street numbering. It will be remembered that, last year, council was unable to obtain the necessary numbers but it is hoped that during the znunt year they will be obtainable. If this is the case Lawrence Ave. will ur? humbers all the way from Yonge St., Toronto which would tend to clear up the confusion now existing. Mr. Savage was thanked by . the was _ thanked _ by _ the York Township Decrease Rate By One Mill At a special meeting the latter part of last week York Township Council reduced the tax rate 1 mill. The actual reduction, as exâ€" plained by Reeve F. J. MacRae, is 2 mills but the municipality this year must absorb the additional 1 mill for the installation of liâ€" braries as no grant will be received from the Province for 1945. The Schqol Board got a grant of about $735,000 this year from the Provincial Government, in accordance with the new system of grants for education, he said. This was $345,000 more than last year, or the equivalent of 12 mills, C The School Board has reduced the mill rate by five mills, but it has increased the total expenditures it has appropriated out of the Proâ€" vincial grants by approximately ;zéo,ooo more than last year, said ve MacRae. It was only through the increased grants that the board was able to increase its expendiâ€" tures, but it has passed on five mills to the Township Council. He said the board‘s gross budâ€" get is about $166,000 higher than last year. Additional expenditures for high school salaries amount to around $21,000. Other additional amounts were capital expenditures. The reeve said that the mill rate of 70.7 was only arrived at by taking certain necessary services and improvements and paring them.

She prefaced her address by bringinq greetings from the "Local Council", and said she was glad of the opportunity to speak to an affiliahnr society.

Recreational centres are fine but cannot take the place of the home where the principles of life should be taught. _ _ _ Mrs. Johnson spoke of the liquor situation, stating there was a large increase in "permits" this year, and said there were several avenues of attacking the evil. Legislation, eduâ€" cation, etc., but believed selfâ€"conâ€" trol was a need to be taught young people. A Christian citizen should not be a stumbling block to others.

Wells of Humberview Crescent, is back in Britain after a succession of esâ€" capades with the Yugoslav Partiâ€" sans and said on his return that the followers of Marshal Tito are "grand fighters‘ and that they call Piat gunsâ€"anti tank rocket gunsâ€" "John Bulls" and believe they are the "best weapon ever invented." Wells spent several months in Yugoslavia as a flying control offiâ€" cer and is believed to be the only RCAF officer to have served on the ground with the Partisans. He orâ€" ganized landing strips in the "free" area on which Allied aircraft with many Canadians among the crews, landed with supplies and sometimes flew away witl‘r: Paritisan wounded. grommmmmmen The Partisans were most eager to please their allies and insisted that Wells and his party have a strong guard and transport for moving equipment such as radio wherever the party went. Flown into a "‘free" area in Sloâ€" vania province last summer, Wells and his party had a narrow escape when their aircraft crashed and the occupants were forced to esâ€" cape by emergency plane. Wells ordered the battered plane blown up, and in the resulting explosion he was burned about the face and hands. Several times during the next few weeks the Germans surroundâ€" ing the area attempted to capture the party, but were beaten back by fiercely fighting Partisans, Wells said that Tito‘s men were trained and led, and the organization was complete even to a medical corps and stretcher bearers. Living conJJi- tions, including food, were good in his area. When ordered to return, Wells and his party with a Partisan guard reached the Hungarian borâ€" der to find that the Russian armies had reached the Yugoslayvâ€"Hunâ€" garian frontier. The Russians esâ€" corted them across Rumania to Bucharest in various forms of transport, ranging from trains to oxâ€"carts. From there they flew to Italy and on to Britain. North York V.O.N.
