Welcome to two new families: Mr. and Mrs, Sexsmith and Mr. and Mrs. Orriss, who have recently moved into their new homes on Queen Anne_ and Sunset Trail, respectively. Welcome, too, to Mr. Snider and family, our new comâ€" munity merchant who has taken up in our case by the need of mainâ€" taim'ng liaison with Veteran‘s Land Act officials. All that, however, is water under the bridgeâ€"the spade work has been done, and this year we shall be able to devote considerâ€" able time to the development of a community social life such as now exists in zone 5, thanks largely to Mr. and Mrs. Jatk ’I‘ai')lor and Ron Cosburn who have been instruâ€" mental in building up a wonderful community spirit in their zone. We want to see that same spirit emâ€" brace the entire community, and to aid in its achievement, have formâ€" ed a social committee under the chairmanship of Harry Price. Any members wishing to serve on this committee should contact Harry or their own zone representatives. Another step in our "community spirit" f1'Jrogram was the appointâ€" ment of a publicity committee of Ted Hough and Art Howard, whose function will be to support this column, and, if the volume of news warrants, to collaborate on turning out a community publicaâ€" tion of our own. the recreation area, the school mbhm, speeding, all came in for ir share of the discussion. Our meetings this year will deal with these matters and the many others which will doubtless crop ug. Howâ€" ever, a glance at the byâ€"laws, copies of which were distributed to all members present at the meeting, will remind you that the )ur&oses of the Community Asâ€" sociation are not confined to busiâ€" ness matters alone.

It is the ope and desire of the directors of the Humber Memorial Hospital‘ that sufficient funds may be raised As is customary, after the first World War, there were many people who wished to have meâ€" morials erected in /honor of the fallen, and accordingly, we acquired a great number of imposing statues and monuments of stone and steel, some attractive, â€" others merely good perches for iidgeom. The idea was good, but the result could hay'e beer‘l more practical. M ies oo on i o t Sm on en id Since the noise of battle ceased that day in 1918, Remembrance Day, November 11 has been a special day to people through the ]&glisb?enkjnz countries of the world. This was the day that marked the official end of the "War to end all wars," an as each anniversary rolled around we bowed our heads in two minutes‘ silent tg\raycsr for those who sacriâ€" ficed their all that the dream of peace might be a reality. But that dream of peace was shattered one day in 1939 and once more the world was engaged in the throes of war, a short 21 years after the cessation of hostilities, a period of time just long enough to raise. a new batch of cannon fodder, and for some countries to train them into machines of war, to accompany the olther machines constructed of metal. The Weston Red Cross group have asked the support of our lady folk in knitting and sewing for the folks in Britain. Volunteers should contact Mrs. Gordon Turriff, T Bradmore Ave., phone 1541â€"Jâ€"1.

During the campaign from November 11 to 30, this year, it is hoped to raise $100,000.00 by public subscription, including canvasses of both commercial enterprises and private citizens, the balance to be obtained through grants from the surrounding municipalities and the province of Ontario,. Of this balâ€" ance, the town of Weston is being asked ‘to contribute oneâ€"thirdâ€" $100,000.00. f Among the 40 contestants in the annual at the Elms Club last weefi were Gordoi and his playing partner, Harold Butler, assistant pro title winner.

You are requested to heed this appeal and to donate generously for this very necessa!?' hospital. True, it will be one 0 perh?s many meâ€" morials to be erected in honor of the servicemen and women of the districts round about, but primarily it will be a charitable institution for the care and healing of the sick and injured (commonly known as a hospital). We are inclined to take hospitals for granted at times and to forget that they represent a very large in\fi:stment in scientiâ€" fic equipment ahd skills. So when that neighbour calls for a donation to the Humber Memorial Hospital, give until it hurts, then give some more. You will be thankful that you did when that fateful day rolls around that a sudden illness occurs in your own family, and each minâ€" ute is like a lifetime.

Basil Rahnham tells the followâ€" ing story: One evening last week whilst sipping coffee at the Bonita fountain his %&stside partner also coffeeing came out with "Where can I get a motor for the car I‘ve justa bought?" "I paid $400.00 for 1t and its in perfect shape." This sounded odd even to B.R, who has as much use for a car as a bit of rind off a chunk of old cheese! Anyway, not being conversant with the tpnrts of an autoâ€"no help was proffered. Not to be left disapâ€" pointed this youthful possessor of, to him probably, a continuous bill of expense, next tested out the smiling pourer of coffee. "Where can I get an engine for my car?"
