In this tase, an order to give up possesâ€" sion must be given six_months in advance on a form 201D which is supplied by the Rental Board. To evict undesirable roomers, which you certainly shouldn‘t be concerned: with in this case, howâ€" ever for your information, Applicaâ€" tion must be made to the Court of Rental Appeal on form 262, and a decision will be made usually inâ€" fide of one month. _‘ y el LodginginUrgentNeed Nowâ€"â€"By Air Force It is hoped that Weston people will coâ€"operate 100% in helping to place the boys in homes.

Weston Arts Display Was A Great Success Last Wednesday saw the second Art Exhibition held under the auspices of the Arts and Letters group of the Local Council of Woâ€" men, on this occasion in coâ€"operaâ€" tion with the YWCA, Weston Branch. Mrs. Class‘directed a charming group of young girls, members of the "Y" who assisted the tea Over 200 visitors from Weston, the surrounding country and Toâ€" ronto enjoyed tie color and beauty of the show which was held in the Library and included paintings, fien sketches, photography and andicrafts by local artists; an exhibit _ leather _ work, â€" costume jewelry, etc., by the overseas boys at the "San‘‘; and beautifully made articles from the Canadian Handiâ€" crafts Guild. The Art Exhibit was arranged by Mrs. C. B. Sears, convener of the Arts and Letters group, toâ€" q.ether with her committee, Mrs. . B. Butlet and Mrs. McKelvey. Mrs. Norman had chnr“ of the display from the "San". Mrs. Gorâ€" don Moffat headed the "Y" comâ€"« mittee with Mrs. Lynch, Mrs. Rusâ€" selt and Mrs. Irving assisting. _ Tea was in charge of Mrs. W.

A disglay of trout flies, the work of Petty Officer Lanthier and described elsewhere in this paper, drew an interested audience as did the weaving which Miss Wallis of the Guild carried on during the afternoon and evening. Tea was served to the guests from a table attractively decorâ€" ated with flowers and candles. As# a community enterprise, the event was outstanding. It not only provided the means Â¥or delightful coâ€"operation between two societies, and between older women and the younger assistants, but it drew into community interest families and mernbers of families, whom art alone reached. Over a cup of tea, it was the occasion for renewing old friendshig’n. and forming new with art or handicraft as a link. It was inspiring towards greater effort among those exhibiting. Beâ€" lieving that other towns might enjoy a similar event, the CBC gave a broadcast describin]f Wesâ€" ton‘s Art Exhibition the following morning. Those in charge of the affair are to be congratulated. 28 MAIN N.. ZONE 4400 Citizens Of Weston Asked To Coâ€"operate In * Re?istering Rooms At Y.W.C.A.

Also a great factor has been fool hardiness, drink and inability to take the necessary precautions on slipâ€" pery pavements or heavy congested traffic. Conditions during the past six months have become so alarming that it is necessary to enlist the coâ€"operation of every citizen in a campaign to eliminate this serious increasing toll of fatalities and accidents. People must léarn to cross the road, using every care and precaution to protect themselves. Drivers of automobiles must understand that gasoline and liquor do not mix, and theriver who attempts to drive with any portion of spirits certainly impairs his efficiency as a driver. Motormen must understand that they are operating a high speed car and should take the necessary steps to see that their tracks are clear, especially in the case of older people crossing the roads. In short, more courtesy extended by the driver of street cars, motor cars, trucks and horseâ€"drawn vehicles and they should observe very strictly the rules of the traffic and be at all times ready to extend courtesy to those who have to cross the road and require a little extra consideration. When you look over the list of accidents during the past week you will realize the necessity for a joint effort to control or eliminate entirely this ever increasing toll of accidents. Plan to observe the rules of the road. Make courtesy your watchâ€" word. Do not drive when drinking liquor. Do not beat the stop lights. Watch carefully in congested traffic for those stepping from behind cars. Protect the children. Local Rehabhilitation Council Send Deputation To Council Reâ€"Housing The Rehabilitation Council of Weston and district held a meeting last Thursday night at the town hall which saw the housing situaâ€" tion the main topic for discussion. A special committee composed of Mr. C. A. Graham, chairman of the housing committee; viceâ€"chairman, J. W. Weir; Mrs. C. J. Lynch of the women‘s committee, with Mr. D. Webster as spokesman, was deleâ€" gated to approach the town council which held a meeting the same evening. Mr. Webster outlined to council the dire need of many families here in Weston with reâ€" gard to accommodation, adding that a solution to the everâ€"increasâ€" ing problem should be found as soon as fpom;ible through . the .comâ€" bined efforts of council and the reâ€" habilitation group. The deputation received the asâ€" surance from council that a camâ€" pnifin _would â€" begin immediately with the hope that the situation would be relieved. The following is a summary of the great and important work the rehabilitation council is prepared to cope with here in Weston. Many are already receiving aid and advice, but it is hoped that these notes will prove helpful to many others in reâ€"establishing themselyes. The chairman of the council for this district is Mr. C. E. Grossâ€" kurth, with viceâ€"chairman being J. W. Weir. Treasurer is W, T. Dougâ€" las and C. P. Browne is secretary. These officers can give information to anyone requiring assistance, but it is desired that contact is made with the chairman of the particular group designated to deal with the matter on which help is required. While the Department of Vetâ€" erans Affairs has been established by the government for the purpose of assisting in the reâ€"establishâ€" ment of veterans, in many cases there are bound to be personal problems which would be beyond the jurisdiction of that department, and on which advice or assistance could be given to better advantage by a local citizens‘ committee. At the request of the governâ€" ment, this committee has been formed in Weston, comfprised of citizens representing different groups in the community, who are willing to give their time and servâ€" ices in helping to solve the probâ€" lems of the returned men.

Demand After contributing several years of his valuable experience to the town of Weston by his service in the munieipal council, Mayor Jack Allan feels that the call of his proâ€" vincial duties and responsibilities as MP.P. for West York forces him to retire from the race in the coming election. _ Assuming the mayoralty in 1942, after having shown the necessary ability as councillor and reeve, John P. Allan, known as "Jack" by his many friends, added much to the comâ€" munity in various spheres and his energey and shrewd business sense has been a great asset to Weston. He attended school in Weston as a boy, then answered the call of his country in enlisting for the first Great War. He saw considerable service and was wounded seriously. Upon his return after the war‘s end, he joined the staff of the Times and Guide, later acting as their representative in West Toâ€" ronto, when the West Toronto Weekly was formed. Later he made a name for himâ€" self as an outstanding salesman for the Toronto Asphalt Roofing Co., where he worked for over twenty years. Thus qualified, after such a successful term of business exâ€" perience, he ventured into the busiâ€" ness world himself and opened the Weston Roofing Materials Co. Jack‘s interest has not been conâ€" fined to his business and duties during his outstanding career. He has never lost his interest in miliâ€" tary affairs, and he has been a keen follower and sponsor of the local sporting activities. At presâ€" ent, he is taking a very active part in launching the Mifier AthFetic Club in its great work for the boys of the community. Workers Goal Is Assistance To Young Generation It is with great regret that the municipal council will lose one of Weston‘s bestâ€"known and popular citizens, but continued success in business: and politics isâ€"extendedâ€"to him with the wish that his future will remain as bright as has been his steps from s(fidier, newsman, salesman, sportsman, mayor and M.P.P. for West York. "We have a row to hoe,"â€"When we utter that thought, we know that there is a duty to perform, and at the present time in the life of the club that duty is to the younger generation. We, the older ones are too prone to sit back in our armâ€" chairs and say this should be done, or that should be accomplished. During the last few weeks, events have shown that youth needs leadership, and who is to give that leadership if those who _ have participated in the joys of life and are now in their prime, sit back and say it should be done without making any effort to help. _ _ From an outside point of view the Weston Workingmen‘s Club has & great opportunity, but if it does not have an overstock of workers, its hands are tied. Come, rise up from the chair and join us in our efforts. Remember, as we build, so shall the edifice be. Although we build with brick and stone, that is not our ultimate goal, but rather to build good citizenship in one community. We cannot stress too strongly the point that the Club is nonâ€"partisan. Some of our members may be in the political field, but that is as far as it goes, of course we would not be human, were we not proud when the office is attained. Ours efforts in this column not for self recommendation, rather that the citizens of community will awaken to the that they have a frame work rather unique, selfâ€"contained ganization in theit midst.

Roe Soon To Rehire Many « Workers And Resume Production; Fishing Tackle Novel Exhibit At Crafts Display A very interesting display at the Art and Handicrafts Exhibition held by the Local Council of Woâ€" men and the Weston Branch of the Y.W.C.A. last week, and one sure to catch the eye of every angler, was the fishing tackle or ‘"flies" exhibited by Petty Officer Joseph Lanthier of the "San". The artificial flies, known to the anglers as Nymphs are various types, wet, dry and streamers, and there just isn‘t a t{pe of bait that Jos?h doesn‘t make with a "sure catch" touch. Any aquatic animal that passed up this attractive bait should certainly be known as a "poor fish". It is interesting to note that Joseph has made dozen or more flies a day since July, and although he has sold many, he still has close to 500 left, but he is hoping to hold most of the stock and make up kits that will, be sought by everyone from the professional angler to the novice. Whether one was interested in fishing or not, it still attracted much attention, as many women threatened to add style and color to their hats b{ adding the colored novelties fashioned by the adept hands of P. 0. Lanthier. With each of the thirty or more patterns, goes an attractive name, well known to enthusiasts of the :gort. The wet fl{ pattern could be e, "Iogl Coachman" or "Parmaâ€" chenie Belle," while the dry flies for trout : could_ call for, "Adams Blue Fox and Fox" or the "Bivis« ible spiders and Variants". _ _ Streamers for trout, and bass files and streamers all have nuâ€" merous but far too for dsd.‘."A-h in all, this tion of the exhibition could i hours of interesting study. < w4 Council Will See Many New Faces As Cox And ; Stevenson Retireâ€"Thompson Will Again Be Candidate for Reeveâ€"Rowntree to Give Decision . â€" â€"â€"_â€".â€"_._._._.__.â€"â€"â€"â€"4 As a forerunner to the nomffi; nrmmimmmommmomememmmmmmmmmmmmmwozn {AtiON TESUItS WRiCh Will b€ XROWIK at the end of this week, the mem* 9e bers at last week‘s council meet= "% ing, which was held on Thu # night at the town hall, intima their plans for the oncoming ele¢> tions taking place in Weston M@ December 3rd. k On the one building, which will Sir Roy Dobson, Head of Malton Firm, Assures "<tue |.A.M.
