/ K. Thompson Elected ~ York Commissioner ~"OUR HANDS ARE TIED" The ékeleton of a rln};, with a akull thirtyâ€"four inches around and a #hinbone thirtyâ€"three . inches }:." has l»‘on fom:d in the Tten ountains of Soviet Central Asia, north of Himalayas. The council was in favor of a resolution that would request the federal government to retain the runways at the DeHavilland Airâ€" bort in North York, built during the war, until the .ue?. of the inâ€" dustry is ascertain for these The road in Etobicoke runs beâ€" tween concegsion "A" and "B," which commences in Thistletown and runs in a southerly direction. Recent! elected _ commissioner, Reeve I{enneth Thompson, of Wesâ€" ton, 1946 commissioner for the York County House of Refuge, and Reeve H. Glover, reported that 51 men and 24 women had been cared for duging the past year, at a cost of $12,931.17. ‘F:e approved budget was $15,000. The recommendations of the speâ€" cial committee dealing with road allocations were approved by the council,. This action will see two roads, one in Etobicoke and the other in Markham, reverted to their respective _ townships. Council agreed, in both cases,‘to do necesâ€" sary repair wotk and aid in the construction of bridges when reâ€" placement is considered. necessary. ‘"Reforestation has a twoâ€"fold objective," stated J. Simmons of the Provincial Reforestation Deâ€" g:rtment. "that of producing timâ€" r and preventing flooding and soil erosion." He said the departâ€" ment bad 15,000,000 trees availâ€" able for transplanting, and if labor was available this year, the 1,000 acres owned by the county could be reforested. Although he agreed the reforesâ€" tation program was a necessary item, Reeve MacRae, York Townâ€" ship, chairman of finance, suggestâ€" ed cutting the budget to $5,000 as he showed the tentative budget for 1946 might be 5.4 mills, wgich is an increase of 1.6 mills over that of last year. * As it has done for the past two years, York County Council apâ€" proved a budget ofy $10,000 after accepting the recommendation of its reforestation committee, to maintain its policy of Furchasing subâ€"marginal land for reforestation purposes. â€" The committee chairâ€" man said that the scheme started many years ago was just now beâ€" gining to pay "dividends". Peacetime employment is being found for the mineâ€"detector by using it to locate nails in salvaged tinl\ber before it goes to the sawâ€" mill. The Warden and two commisâ€" wioners administer the affairs of the county council between sesâ€" sions, thus act as a cabinct. Now that Reeve Thompson has brought this appointment to Westonâ€"and it is one much sought after â€" it is hopéd that within the next few years he will take the next step and honor Weston by his election as Warden for the County of York. York County Council Approves $10,000 Reforestation Project Reeve Thompson‘s outstanding record in previous years at county council shows him as being on the subâ€"committee of finance for 1943â€" 44, then last year was commisâ€" sioner of York County House of Refuge. _ _ As a rule this honor is bestowed only after many long years of exâ€" f(crience as<a council member, but en‘s proven ability and efficient service, based on his thorough knowledge of legislation in the inâ€" terests of the people of the comâ€" munity more than qualified him for the appointment. It is an indicaâ€" tion of his popolarity in the counâ€" ty council that his appointment came after just over four years exâ€" perience at county council. It will give Weston a gFeater voice in gusinen conducted by county council and this marks the first year since 1936 when Gordon Harris held the appointment, that Weston could boast of a commisâ€" sioner. This year is Ken‘s seventh year on the municipal council. From 1940 until the fall of ‘42, when he stepped up to Reeve, Ken: served as a councillor. 1 In recognition of his outstanding and efficient service during the past years in municipal and county affairs, Reeve Kenneth L. Thompâ€" son, of Weston, was elected as commissioner of the County <of York. Deg_uty Reeve W. 1. Hearst, of North York Township, was the other commissioner elected. > (The heavy volume of news last week crowded the following article out of the Jan. 24 issue of The Times and Guide).

The foregoing is the outline of procedure from the services to the hospital.

Later on its is proposed to disâ€" ‘ Why do these men wear something other than discharge buttons issued by the Canadian Government? The answer is simple. They want the public to appreciate what they have done. We are by no mears speaking against those men who, regardless of the fact that they signed for active service, did not get overseas; in many instances they were held in Canada in instructional rolis, in some cases their medical category would not permit them to serve elsewhere than Canâ€" ada, some recruits had not had sufficient service to be sent overseas.

C A Welcome Note For The ‘Vets‘ Speaking for the Army, many exâ€"soldiers are now wearâ€" ing rectangular buttons carrying the colour of the division with which they served. These are bought at the soldier‘s own expense. Discharged personnel from the RCAF are wearing their "Opsâ€"Wings", a small golden emblem awarded them for a certain number of flying operations against the "WEST: YORK‘S NEWSY WEEKLY" Woodbridge W estmount Humber Heights ‘ Mt. Dennis enemy. Many men now discharged after long service overseas feel that they should be given some distinguishing badge other than the present sterling silver discharge button that is worn by all members of the armed forces, regardiess of length or theatre of service. The time has come when the Government should satisfy what could be very fittingly described as a serviceman‘s vanity. We are speaking mainly of those members of the \Navy, Army and Air Forces who had the good fortune to serve overseas, Upto the present time the Department of ‘National Defence has made no effort to distinguish these exâ€" servicemen from those with no overseas service. In Great Britain members of the armed forces receive discharge butâ€" tons carrying the date of enlistment and length of time spent on active service. + Discharge Button Question TRURSDAY, JANUARY 31, 1946 Sigmn.
