TO BEGIN MAIN STREET PROJECT NEXT Sixâ€"Minute Service in Rush Hours Eliminates Weston Bus Confusion _For more than a week, Weston has been endowed . with the new andefficient bus service, and alâ€" though the first few days found mumerous difficulties arising, these have been fairly well eliminated until now the bus line is operating smoothly and with a minimum of inconvenience to its passengers, As with other newly inaugurated services, schedules seem to be the centre of most of the trouble, but this could not be discovered and corrected until the bus had been in 6pération for at least two days. The confusion seemed to. centre at the‘ Edmuhd Street loop where trollefi coach and gas 3us met, The gas bus service had not been operating long before it was reaâ€" lized by TTC inspectors that there definitely was not enough gas buses connecting with the trolley coaches, and consequently the reâ€" sult was overloading of the smaller gas buses and considerable waiting on the part of patrons. However, ‘by Thursday of last week, a new and faster. service had been instailed, and reports now state that the two services are working well together, Reeve Ken Thompson, chairman of tie Transportation Committee, stated that council‘s main purpose was to ingure that Weston citizens has the best transportation posâ€" sible with a minimum of inconâ€" venience and least delay. "It can be realized," he stated "that these operating . difficulties will arise during the tirst few days of a new service, but the TTC and Council are working together in an effort to iron out ail problems." Mr. Thompson ‘stated that both the TTC â€"andâ€" Weston.councilâ€"are keeping a close watch on the serâ€" vice and if additional services are required they shall be provided. He also pointd out that waiting shelters will be erected at both terâ€" minals in the very near future. There is no doubt, that in spite of recent delays and tieâ€"ups at rush hours, the new service is proving to be all that was expected. Having a smooth, rapid, comfortâ€" able ride is something new and different for Weston residents, and although â€" several ‘"beefs" were voiccd during the first tew days the new service was in ovération, these same people now . state there‘s nothing to compare with it. All agree that when the trolley coach system extends right througn town, immediate difficulties will be quickly overcome leaving Wesâ€" fon and Mount Dennis with the most upâ€"toâ€"date, and most rapid transpoitation system in the counâ€" try. Despite the fact that the TTC was completely blamed for all inâ€" conveniences during the first few days, actually a great many delays were caused by the passengers themselves, who after 20 (or less) years experience with the Red Rocket found it difficult to become accustomed to new rules and reguâ€" lations. Such things as leaving by the centre doors, ard depositing fares upon entering the bus were the constant topic of drivers with passengers. _ It can be readily realizet that keeping passengers wnitini on.the street while others leave by the front doors can, in itself cause numerous delays. And so, all in all, it would seem that all these minor details are just naturally attached to the birth of a.new service, And it would mlso appear that once again coâ€" operation from all parties is needed to give Weston the maximum in transportition with a minimum of inconvenience. _ If everyone does their g:rt in abiding by the rules, and the TTC and Weston council 4,000 Spectators See Weston Horse Show Four thousand persons hailed the: return of the Weston Lions Club annual horse show which was held at the recreation centre last Saturâ€" day afternoon. Horses from all parts of the surrourding district were entered in the various classes, and cogpetition was stiff all. the way. ow champion was "Singin Hi" with 16 ’Foinu. owned by J. E. Cottrelle of Toronto, and his entry, ‘"Transport," claimed the reserve. Operotini Difficulties Ironed Out â€" New And Faster Schedule Remedies First Day Confusion Of Packed Buses, "Stranded Passengers" Peflllgl the most colourful part of the show was the Palomind and Western classes. Riding her, chamâ€" gion mount, "Wendy," young Betty toddart rode to victory over the Charles M:?ty entries in class 8, took a third in class fifteem, and won a fourth in the western class. In the road hack class, Betty won a third prize, riding Bobby Sox, Class winners are as follows: Road hack: Sir Richard, owned m‘m by C. Griffiths; Lady ;. ewned by N. W.

This amazing fact was brought forth by Mr. E. Shantz, campaign convener, at the VON canvassers meeting held in Central United Church last Friday evening. Thirtyâ€"three cents per visit. That‘ wouldn‘t even supply a gallon of gas for the local nurse‘s car, let alone pay her salary, and buy mediâ€" cal supplies so vital to her work. If nothing else, this statement should make every . man, woman and child in Weston realize the dire need for outside support the local VON has. It should also prove beyond any doubt that this visiting nursing service is given to all reâ€" gardless of . financial status. If every patient visited last year, had }paid $1.00 for the services they reâ€" ceived, the amount collected would have been SB,OGI.(‘)(). But they didn‘t, not because tHey didn‘t want to but because financial reasons made it impossible. Yet they reâ€" ceived the same service, the same treatment as those who could and did pay. 10Bly vvltunwcns AEECI TT y;uw NT town, sta Qr...flm‘ ;imfih’v% éém?gn. iIHey.yv That is were you, the 1\fublic, come.into the picture, Oh Monday last, volunteers from allsparts of Amnual VON campaign.

Mr, Wardlaw told this paper that Etobisoke has been negotiating with the Hydro in an effort to obtain this muchâ€"needed bridge. He stated that as soon as the abutâ€" ments were in place the bridge would be delivered and erectéd. The new bridge will differ conâ€" siderably from the oldâ€"time swing bridge, which has been a landâ€" mark for some 30 years. A centre gier will‘ be erected making the ridge completely solid, and whereâ€" as before two people could hardly gus each other on the swing ridge, the new one will give a sixâ€"foot walking space. The entire bridge will be approximately eight feet wide. Initial cost, according to Mr. Wardlaw will be $4800.00 and of course there will be additional labour costs for the installation, At present the main problem is the shortage: of cement but it is hoped enough will be obtained for the abutments and centre pier.

A reception was held by the chairman and memberssof the library board and was attended by the mayor and council of the town, the board of education, the local ministers and leaders of the various organizâ€" ations of the town. The object of the reception was to showâ€" the recent improvements which have been made to the strucâ€" ture of the library itself, the internal reâ€"arrangements to _&etggr the library service offetd to the public and <to enable the board, through its chairman, to inform those present of the board‘s plan for the future. e In addressing the gathering, Mr. T. D. Boone, c%irman of the goard, said: "We have presumed to invite you, the leaders in the community life of this town, as our guests tonight because we wished, in some measure to acquaint you with some of the aspects of the work with which we are charged. All of us are aware of the rapid growth and development of every aspect of our community life in Weston. We, of the libraryâ€"board, feel that we should keep in step with that growth and expansion by improvâ€" ing and extendin{g‘ library service. We §have, therefore, chosen this wtiT "exists with regard to the shortage of power here in Weston. Mr. Lorne Coulter, power conservaâ€" tion coâ€"ordinator for the town, announced Monday that a telegram had been received from the Ontario Hydro stating that an additional 3%% must be saved by Weston power users to make a total cut of 13%%. In the very near future, instructions may be received to cut the consumption of power & total of 20%. & i Power Shortage More Serious â€"Weston Must Save Additional 31% Mr. Coulter was happy to say that he was receiving 100% coâ€" operation from the industries. But it is too early to state the results ofsuch coâ€"operation of the overall conservation program. Every effort is being made to keep the factories running full time so that the workers‘ takeâ€"home pay will not be made smaller. Already most indusâ€" tries are doing considerable to cut down the amount of power they will need in a day nmf a number are shifting their work days so that they will be working on a Saturday or a Sunday which are not peak days. Among those indusâ€" tries which have done so are CCM, which is now working on Saturdays instead of Mondays, and Acme Screw and Gear which is now workâ€" ing on Sundays. Moffats have moved a small gart of their producâ€" tion to a night shiftâ€"a process which will not interfere with the daytime routine. This will effect a savings at a peak time. But > even with considerable savings by the industrial consumer, it is still and even more than ever necessary that the domestic conâ€" sumer coâ€"operates to the utmost to conserve power. All hydro users in Weston will this week receive a copy of the restrictions regarding heaters and lighting and also a pamphlet which is especially aimed at the householder. Because the Weston Commission is unable to cut off the water heaters in the private homes as the Toronto Hydro is doing, houseâ€" holders &re asked to coâ€"operate by utilizing the water heaters on a Saturday or Sunday or between the hours of midnight and 7 p.m. on North York Building Continues To Surpass All Previous Records Mr. T.

Boone, Chairman Of Library Board, Gives Full Account Of Improvements Made Recently, And Of Future Plans For A Better Community Library North York building permit values continue to soar beyond all previous records and the nfiofl. on tge first eight months of this year shows that the permits have almost doubled in value.

Mr. Booneâ€" continued: "Within recent months we have installed fluorescent lighting in the library and placed a new light over the main entrance, also the floors have been resurfaced. In line with our Yolicy, we are ‘establishing a cataâ€" ogue of books availnblg !'or‘ t‘he use of library patrons. One of the most acute problems is the proâ€" curing of new books for all who wish them and as goon as possible after they are published. We have had the librarians set up two new shelves, the one consisting of new books and the other a ‘ ufilicate-- pay‘ shelf, from which books may be taken at a cost of three cents a day, this latter is also practised in other liblraries. lThessvm'e beginâ€" ningg.of larger plans. We recognize that if library service is to be proâ€" vided for all, extended facilities will have to be made."

We have been pleased Et Mn Eo ie the switch on his own water heater to cut off the power for 12 hours two or three times a week. _ ~ There are many ways of conâ€" serving eelctricity in the home and here are just a few rules to go by. If there is an electric range in the home, plan the cooking so as to use as little electricity as posâ€" sible. For it should befrealized that if both the cooking and the oven elements of an electric range are used for 10 minutes longer than necessary, 8,157 gallons of scarce water used in generating electric power are wasted. _ 20L Pn aoe Turn on your radio only for proâ€" grams desired. To operate a radio for 10 minutes, 215 gallons must tun â€" through _ the _ generating stations. ue M The refrigerator should not be operated at a temperature lower than necessary for adequate preserâ€" vation of food but don‘t load refrigerator with cans, bottles, etc., that may be stored elgewhere.u M e o e ns With regard to the washing machine, the full load of clothes specified for the washer should be used whenever possible so that the full benefit from electricity used is obtained. + The smaller appliances | are equally important to the conservaâ€" tion. Did you know that an automati®@ toaster or an electric iron operated for 10 minutes each require 859 gallons of water? Did you know that ten wasted minutes of a water heater means 644 gallons of water wasted? Even a 100â€"watt bulb uses the power generated by 107 gallons of water during a tenâ€"minute period. With the hel% of the co-ordinator.‘ industries and business are meeting the challenge put to them by the power shortage. Householders must meet the challenge too, so that further restrictions and regulations will not be made compulsory and possibly factor{ hours shortened with the resultant smaller pay envelopes.
