Appointed to serve on behalf of the board on the recreational committee are trustees, Board chairman, Harvey Oke, George Harvey and Mrs. Endiâ€" cott. Trustee James McCracken said, "I‘d like to see all admission charges wiped out." Not making any decision on the matter, the board is waiting to get more ({efin- ite information on the subject They discussed the matter of a scholarship for Cpl. Frederi¢ck Topâ€" ham, Victoria Cross winner, but before any decision could be made on the issue, it was decided to deâ€" termine the distribution, terms, conditions and legality oI’ such a scholarship.

Further appointments show Walâ€" ter Saunders as county representaâ€" tive, Russell Logan to the Board of Health, while the recreational comâ€" mittee is to be composed of Deputy Reeve David Riddell and councitiors Charles Cashman and Clarence Moffatt. â€" The board discussed the matter of charging rent to the high school students in the three high schools for recreational purposes.

Other appointments showed Mrs. Evelyn Beattie named as viceâ€" chairman, and George Harvey as management chairman. Mrs. Heatâ€" tie, along with Joseph Hartley, were appointed to the Board of Health committee. To counteract this introduction of hotels across the street from a strong loca! option area, Weston‘s Ministerial Group under the direcâ€" tion of Rev. George Roe, president; and Rev. Harry Pawson, has apâ€" proached every organization, asâ€" sociation and group in the district asking for support.

This is the fifth year that Mr. Oke has served as chairman of the board. It was pointed out that the site for the 1proposecl hotel is in a comâ€" paritively rew district consisting of a large child and juvenile populaâ€" tion, and with many local groups trying to expand the recreational activities in the community, the moral effect would be very detriâ€" mental. N. To guard against the possibility of other hotels ‘sneaking in unâ€" noticed, the Weston Ministerial Group, has been urging clubs and associations sending petitions to the board to add the words, "or any other hotels whose erection is being proposed in this area" to the names of the hotels in question. As the Liquor Control Board will be considering the applications on Tuesday, January 29, Mr. Joblin reminds everyone that petitions must be received by the board by tomorrow Friday, Jan. 25. {)oaition to the granting of an hotel icense, "and now," Rev. Joblin pointed out, ‘there are two hotels trying to creep into this local opâ€" tion area. One being the Cross Town Hotel, that tried a little over a year ago to establish an hotel at the corner of Jane and Trethewey Drive and reliable sourses have it that authority is being sought by the Wndermere Company to build an hotel very close to the proposed Cross Town Hotel location." Frank Oke Appointed Chairman For Fifth Year To Township Board ‘There is a solid expression of general opposition to the proposed erection of hotels bordering this town of Weston," said Kingsley J. Joblin, minister of Westminster United Church, when questioned about the applications that are resting ‘with the Liquor Control Board that would bring beverufe rooms tb Weston‘s doorâ€"step should they be granted.

Members Of Central United Hear Report Hold Fastâ€"Keep Your Rights Protest With All Your Might Public opinion is aroused.> People in every walk of life, from municipal authorities to the men and women in the street, are protesting with all the power that they possess against any further issuing of licenses for beverage rooms or hotels. The cry has become, not local, but across the city and throughout the suburbs, in fact, with the judgement that has just been upheld by the privy council giving validity to the Canadian Temperance Act; public opinion is demanding a strict administration of the law, and are looking to the government to enforce it. Nothing can be accomplished without a persistent and conâ€" sistent following through. When all the people are so aroused against any further encroachments, now is the time to see that those in authority have no misguidance in reference to the solidity of public opinion against such granting of any further licenses. The detriment of such places in any community must be very apâ€" parent when there has been such a huge cry against them. Thereâ€" fore, it is important that we hold what is our rights and continue to protest with all the strength and power that we possess against any further granting of licenses. Also see that the government, through its officials, does enforce the law to the full. No further hotels or beverage rooms are required to meet the needs of the poopleâ€"enforcement of the law will see that those now in existence become more respectable and better looked after.
