Weston Lady PCs Pledged To Drew A mem of the Weston Chess Club, Bernard Freedman, is the newly elected President of the Chess Federation of Canada. At the Annual General meeting held 1n Ottawa on Sept. 4 and 5, Mr. Freedman received the unanimous vote as President for 1948-9. We extend to him our sincere con- gratulations. Mr. D. A. McAdam was elected lst Vice-President, and "Scotty" Louden. 2nd Vice-Presi- dent. The secretary is still o. Bain of Quebec City. Delegates arrived from all parts of the Dominion to take part in Important discussions, and hearing reports of the past year. Two full days of debate. Two very import- ant matters were settled. One was that the number of entrants to the Dominion Championship Tourna- ments is limited to 16. Two, The _C.F.C.. will no longer approach individual members of clubs throughout the Dominion for fin- ancial assistance. In future a pro- rata fee will be levied for each club. Each club will pay its quota to its local league or Provincial organization. who in turn will for- ward a'pereehtage to the C.F.C. In this way, and by-the-stay, it was a recommendation put forward by the executive of the Weston Chess Club, the C.F.C. will receive ample funds to carry on its solendid work,- The annual budget of the GEES. it set at $300.00. Iron.. George Drew, premier of Ontano, was strongly endorsed for the leadership of the federal Pro- gresswe Conservative Association by members of Weston Ladies' Prggressive Association. The resolution, passed unani- mom.sly by the association at a speeial meeting, was moved by Mrs. Dorothy Evans and seconded bthiss E.ehiilfavage, _ 7 _ . Expressing the opinion that there 'is a strong likelihood" of Premier Drew being a candidate for the office at the Dominion convention scheduled for Oct. 2 in Ottawa, the resolution stated that the assoeia- tion has "unbounded confidence in our provincial premier" and pledged its "undivided support in any capacity, which will tend to secure his election as federal leader.” J ack Kagetsu won the two day chess competition staged at the Canadian National Exhibition. lie was the recipient of a very beauti- ful chess set donated by the To- ronto Chess League.

By; the way, Tansley is can-the Dundas highway and ap- proximately 30 miles out of To- ronto. The/bridge is to be a 4-lane affair and is quite an engineering feat. The 12 mile creek at this spo_t is "1eepd,tP.rn." I At. I" up", w _--,_v..“. We got talking to the traffic light operator and learned quite a lot. We‘reneat "there's no better education than travel, and using your eyes, ears and tongues a lot. Well to continue our conservation with the operator. We asked what was to become of the old bridge and were told that it was going to be scrapped but the steel salvaged. "The steel is of the finest," he replied, Name from Englynd.'l, . , , IT I ' Huamw. "The CPR had a boat-load of steel sent over in 1876 and part was never used. The steel you see in the old bridge was part of that load, and its carried many thous- ands of tons since it was put there in W(i," he explainet,i.. ' , , '" ”w, AANP “rum”. TN hopes you won't get hogged off the road as he was by a car and bus, en route to the bridge. Toronto the good it seems, has an unenviable reputation of possessing more punk drivers than any'city of comparative size in North America. Just ask the average out-of-town party. What did the traffic expert from Milwaukee have to say a few years ago on this subject. TN has cycled thousands of miles in the USA. and one comparison stands out above all else, and we know others will endorse it. _ . . Try travelling a twisty and hilly highway in our neighbours lands. Your mind is at rest as you turn this bend or mount that hill. Come back to the Toronto area and invariably you’ll see the jack ass driver cutting corners, in a mad rush to pass the other on yon hill-top, " T T ' , What's the reason and what's the cure? Lack of care, courtesy and common sense is the reason. The co-operation of all, even you, our reader, in reporting these pests, 'ere they main or kill someone, is the cure. We suppose you will want to know if, in this case, TN practices what he preach.-. Well vour guess is wrong if you think he is going to be bogged off the road by any- one and forget it.

Hospitals, once the concern of the church; now have been taken over by community and state. It had been said that"the world no longer needs the church, f "The present is a time of tra- vail, which is long and painful," Mr. Hie declared in addressing the minister and congregation. "Every- one is asking questions. The people want to know about the future; in- dustry about employment and production; statesmerrwant a last- ing peace;'educators ask how to egluip youth to" live for tomorrow. C urchmen must provide leader- ship." T A couple of hours' wait in the line-up for CNE grandstand tickets was the most profitable job he ever undertook, says Dean Newton, 43 Queen’s Drive, Weston, winner of Friday night's Chevrolet. Member of the Production Control Dept. at a local aircraft plant and the calmest win- ner to date, Mr. Newton's biggest worry after the presentation of the car from Olsen and Johnston was how to get it home. "I don't drive but you can bet I will be taking my first lesson tomorrow," said Mr. Newton, whose new car was the thirteenth given away to date. "A new world is being born and the Christian church must give leadership because it is needed more today than ever before," Rev. A. Carmen Hie of Earlscourt United Church declared last week at Pearen Memorial Church, Mount Dennis. He was speaking at the in- duction of Rev. Albert E: Holley as minister of the congregation. Rev. C. A. Mustard presided and carried out the induction and the new minister was presented by Rev, W. A. Westcott. A reception for Mr. Holley followed. "However, the church is more needed in the world today than it ever was," he declared. Mr. Hie told how in Germany a philosopher had declared: "God is dead." Moral disintegration and,cultural anarchy had followed. Belief that God was dead could bring no other result. Rev. A. E. Holley Inducted As Minister Of Pearen Memorial Asked by an Illinois man who en- tered his laboratory, what needed greatest emphasis in the field of research, Steinmetz had declared: "When man turns over his labora- tory to a study of God and prayer and spiritual forces, the world would see more advance in one generation than has taken place in four previous generations." The church, he said, is just such a la- the two referred to will get the medicine. To save them, but parti- cularly the other guy, maybe you, from danger in the days to come.

L, 'tTgtTi.i.t.% "CS" Weston It has been said that a use can be found for anything and every- thing, if you keep it long enough. Well, that seems to apply to the ability to use a pick and shovel. The experience the man had in both World Wars digging trenches and fox holes has come in useful when digging the footings for the new Legion Memorial Hall. Every night for six weeks .the lads have been down there digging, also on Saturdays and holidays, and all through the hot spell. They were never in fitter physical con- dition than they are right now. They have sweated off a lot of sur- plus fat and used muscles that ordinarily are not put to much use. Many nights (for thev have been digging by lamplight after dark) as they "homeward plod their weary way", they found by their aches and paint that they had muscles they weren't -ware of pre- viously. At times the work was discour- aging. Many a slip in the sandy soil filled footings already dug re- quiring shoveling them out again and necessitating the moving by manpower of a lot more earth than had been antiéipated. But, nothing discouraged or dismayed, the boys dug in with a will and overcame such handicaps and last Saturday the last shovelful of earth was moved, the last board of the forms nailed into place and a final theck, up of levels was made and now comes the turn of the cement con- tractor. The contract for pouring the cement footings and walls has been let and the re-inforeing steel is on the lot, also the lumber for the cribbing, The cement work will probably start this week, in fact, may be well under way by the time this appears in print. The boys of the Legion get a short respite of a couple of nights, and then as soon as the footings are poured and set, they turn to and take out the forms in order to utilize the lumber later on for some other purpose, After the walls are poured comes the removal of the cribbing (also for further use later on), and then the sealinéf‘ of the outside of the cement wa ls below grade to prevent dampness getting through. Thiswill also be done by the men themselves as their in- tention is to do whatever work they can do in order to make what money they have go as far as pos- sible. In fact, this is very essential as they are not too well fixed fin- ancially and they are spending what they have wisely and to the best advantage. However' with confidence in themselves and the goodwill of the people of the.corpmupity and by using their ingenuity they feel sure they will be able to at least have a place of their own to hold their meetings in this winter. The aud- itorium part of the hall will have to come later when more funds have been accumulated but the basement walls and footings are being built strong enough to carry than in 1947. Motions of congra= tulations to Rev. W. B, Caswell and Mis. Caswell, Oakville, on their 50th Wedding anniversary and to Rev. C. H.
