Standard hotel requirements provide acâ€" commodation for the travelling public. It is T‘flt«e true that there is a lack of accommoâ€" tion throughout the city of Toronto and the suburbs at the present moment. This lack of accommodation is due chiefly to the lack of homes and apartments. Those inâ€" dividuals requiring such accommodation do not seek or cannot afford to stay at hotel suites. The environment and the cost is not conducive to economical living and character . Therefore, why the large number of cations that are being made at the present time by the li%uor interests for more outlets? The hotel business without the beverage room certainly is not an attractive proposition. _ s â€" _ â€" It does look as if the large number of apâ€" plications that are being made in and around the dry area of Weston and West Toronto for hotel erections, is nothing more than the opening of beverage rooms. If this is the case, the public should decide whether there is any need for beverage rooms in these sugâ€" gested areas. They should decide whether or not the beverage room is a desirable business in any locality. Public opinion along this line should be cultivated by the people. What is the effect of a number of beverage rooms in any district. Look as Jarvis St. between Dunâ€" das and Calton St.; look at the beverage rooms on Sherbourne St. in the centre part of the city. Look at the beverage rooms that are located on the outskirts of Weston and West Toronto, Are these the places where you want your sons and daughters characters deâ€" veloped? Is this the type of environment that is conducive to true citizenship? Are these the places where the weekly wage ghovld be spent? These are pertinent quesâ€" ons, and yet questions that should be faced now. The public should be aroused to the seriousness of the situation and every force should be launched to restrict the number of hotel licenses granted around these two dry areas at the present time. In fact, there should be a general protest against the inâ€" creasing of hotel licenses, because most of them are being sought for the remuneration that they will get from their investments; not from dining rooms of hotels, nor from accommodation supplied, but from beverage Mrs. Jones welcomed her brother home from overseas this past week.

A. raised the sum of $313 during 1945 for mainâ€" tenance and contributions to the various interests of the district. Industrial Boom For Etobicoke At the inaugural meeting of the Etobicoke council, Reeve Frank Butler stated that, "The township should own and control its own transportation.". Reeve â€" Butler advocated the township plans to meet industrial mnd residential expansion. During the year 1945, there were building fiu undertaken _ valued at g;‘,’ .000, and already this year there are twentyâ€"two propose! inâ€" dustrial building projects under way. The Reeve suggested that transportation and other public serâ€" vices should be exgnnded to meet the requirements of the additional 3,000 persons that should find emâ€" ployment in the township due to this industrial influx. The recent elections of officers for the year for the Women‘s Auxâ€" iliary of the United Church of Schomber resulted in the reâ€"elecâ€" tion of Mrs. Blake Skinner as preâ€" sident.

Elections The boy and the girl of today is the youth of tomorrow, and the citizen of the next genâ€" eration. Each one of these children as &ey come into the world, are influenced by the environment that surrounds them; by their school teachers who enter the N‘!F; part of their life at this formative age. The ideals and presentations given to them by their teachers exert an influence upon them that is lutint The pictures they see in the theatres, the plays and presentations over the radio which they hear, the music that stirs them, the stories they read, in literature, in the comics in the daily papers and the magazines, are all inculcated into their character which is being built. With such a conglomeration and presentation made available to these boys and girls today, what kind of a structure are we who are responsible for their future, erecting? As architects are we carefully planning their reading, their vision, their mental outlook, their environment? As a direct result of the unrestrained ambitions and desires created in these children, we have today a crime wave that has never been duplicated in history ; boys and girls nine and ten years of age, youths of sixteen and sevenâ€" teen and young people committing minor and major crimes with great brutality. It is high time that greater interest was taken in the future of these boys and girls. Service clubs, organizations, YMCA‘s, social units, will lay the blame on the home and the environment; but what is being done to recreate a new enâ€" vironment? Are the churches throwing open their buildings as community centres, are service clubs giving the leadership they are capable of doing; are social workers giving the supg:rt they require? In a word, is the public behind these organizations to spur them on to greater efforts to eliminate the environments that are so detrimental to the future of the boys and girls? If a new world is to be recreated, if these boys and girls are to have a chance in life, there must be a solid public behind the efforts of those agencies that are strugglinÂ¥ to bring about a better environment and lay a foundation for our future generation that will stand four square.

Carefully each detail from the foundation to the peak, the exterior and inâ€" terior is looked at in his dreams and visions. Soon it is transferred to plans and built to scale on paper. Harmony and uniformi.tg and laws of gravity are all carefully studied and necessary ingredfents to carry the weight and the structure are prepared; then the building is laid from its foundation and beâ€" comes an admiration for posterity, . O If you look only for peoples‘ approval, you will always be blind to their needs. The power of destruction we now have our hands can only be controlled by God our hearts.

If only two stops are allowed in the main section, why cater to the centre, John St. and Dufferin St. only? We are not suggesting that these stops be eliminated, but that the original stops existing before the war be restored. Several of our customers, parâ€" ticularly those living at the north end of town, and at Thistletown, find it most inconvenient to have to walk back to the John St. stop, or ahead to the one oprouite the theatre, especially when laden with bundles. Editor, Times and Guide Dear Sirâ€"With reference to the article apf)earini in the Times and Guide of December 27th, 1945, enâ€" titled "Novel Christmas Card 12" x 16" sent to Gord Squibb", the pubâ€" lication of this artic?e brought };I’th several interesting facts. One reader, Mr. S. J. Thomson of Thomson‘s fiuhery, noticed that "the stockholders of the Weston Plank Road are requested to attend a meeting at Bellas‘ Inn, Weston." He very kindly brought me an old deed dated April 8th, 1856, which proved that the Bellas‘ Inn was located on this site (Thomson‘s Bakery). The land nppnrentg was owned by Wm. and Ann Bellas, then by John Scott, then by Henry and Mary Downey and, finally, by Robert Taylor, who sold it to the present owner. I understand that the original buildings owned by the Bellas‘. were deatrored by fire beâ€" fore the present building was erectâ€" ed. This deed is of interest also, as it bears the signatures of James Conron and Edward Pearson, both wellâ€"known figures in Weston‘s history. The "lawful money of Canada was, at this time, pounds, shillings and pence. Dear Sirâ€"As business roplc and taxpayers, we would like to know what the transportation comâ€" mission is doing about renewing the car stops at the town hall goâ€" ing ;outh and the post office going north. I would be extremely interested in any information available on any of Weston‘s landmarks, old deeds or pictures, etc. It is of particular interest to me to hear from an{yone who nkight know something of the histor§ of our own building at 48 Main St. N. This building was forâ€" merly owned by the late Dr. E. F. Irwin, and, I believe, at one time housed a butcher shop. My thanks again to Mr. Thomson for the loan of the indenture reâ€" ferring to the Bellas‘ and to Mr. M. Reekie <of the Times and Guide sta]ff for writing the original arâ€" ticle. Editor, Times and Guide: The New Year has just begun and most people are now settled down back to everyday life. We at the Weston Military Hospital are now making plans for our future and trying to start life anew. Mr, A. L. Coulter, President Red Crose Weston, Ont. Dear President: The New Year has fulfilled our hopes of coming back to civilian life, perhaps not as we wished, as we found ourselves convalescing in the hospital. However, one of the greatest experiences was the first real Christmas for many of us here in such a long while. But then this was when we were thinking well before that wonderâ€" ful Christmas did come. We weren‘t aware that our Mother of the Serâ€" vices "The Red Cross" was thinkâ€" ing of us at the Weston Military Hospital and what our Christmas would be like. We didn‘t realize that they would be thinking of our Lordships and readjustments beâ€" fore we could enjoy our Christmas. Yes it was hard for many of us to realize that it meant "Peace on Earth, Goodwill to Men.". It seemâ€" ed like we wouldn‘t be able to get that "Christmas spirit" which we looked forward so much for such & long time. â€" Yes, the Weston Red Cross came up to the Weston Military Hospital well before Christmas. They decâ€" orated our halls and rooms. Our dark corners now were gay with Christmas trees all gt up and gaily decorated. Yes, the Red Cross knew that many of our wouldn‘t be home for Christmas and that this would be our Christmas. They also knew that those of us who went home only for the Christmas dinner couldn‘t be in the Christmas spirit without seeing the gay decorations that the Red Cross put up for us. We all got into the &ristmn spirit, and it was only with the help of the Weston Red Cross who were so thoughtful of us On behalf of the fiuienu and myself of the Weston Military Hosâ€" Eflf 1 wish to convey to the Wesâ€" n Red Cross our sincere urmdl- tion and thanks for making our Christmas such a merry one.
