Eighty-eight-y e a r - old Wilfred Forsythe, former Walton resident and Past Mater of the Humber Lodge of Masons, arrived early luv. week to visit with his listen, t',',it"tt',,Ne,g,t, and Annie For- Irtlte,, _ Slump, and, Mn. "wel, Both Mr. Foraythe and Mrs. Jewell are now living in Medicine Lodge, Kansas, where Mr. Forsg‘he is en- gaged in yte furniture uAneits, _ Wu, who celebrated his 88th birthday last July, in the oldest member of the family and in the oldest living Past Master of the Humber Lodge. He holds 32 de. gees in Masonry and is a Shriner. " mother was born in Weston and his father was born in Beot- land and all the children were born in Weston. 7 Mr. Forsythe is very much im- pressed with the growth and ex- pansion of Weston since the time when he used to reside here. At that time, Weston was only a small village and horse and buggy was the chief means of transportation. He remembers "Bob" Bull, father of the former Lions Club president, Dr. J. Allen Bull. The tremendous growth of industries in the Wes- ton area is amazing to Mr. For sythe who remembers when the chief industry in the village was the Wadsworth Mill. Wil also noticed especially, the relatively new Post Office and of course the new but.ysysteyt. . _ . _ Mr. Forsythe drove here with his nephrsw Clifford Jewell who wait also visiting with the For- sythe’s on Queen's Drive last week. Clifford has two sons, one of whom, Dr. Thomas C. Jewell is a surgeon at the Western Hosnital in Toronto and the other is 3 Cap- tain in the American Airlines. We are being told almost daily that speed is the main contributory cause for most traffic accidents. Try glancing over Monday's papers telling the terrible stories of past week-end mishaps, note that speed is Linen the majry pause. T True, we are living in a speed- crazed age. but does this lust for it get us anywhere? The writer is Eerpetually being asked how fast c, can cycle. He does not know, and doeirn't want to, and usually replies, "It's not speed that gets one theYe in the long run, it's a steady even Dace." _ If more people who drive and take Stu id risks could see the folly of tgoir faults, it might help. T-N is no model he admits, but he rould write many chapters on the uuyjecf: pr "Hot: some, take r.isks/' [at him mention a few and note the crane for speed embodied. Passing another on a hilltop or rorner--trying to beat a train to a crossing-mulling out from a. curb before looking to see if the road is t'lear--getting out of that off-side door without a glance to see if any traffic is approaching from the rear-carrying another on your rycle to and from "hool--parking a foot, pron more from ghe curb. We. have in a previous issue. rampared Etobicoke's section of Scarlett Road with the indignab olis race track, T-N wrote the Etobicoke council on the subject of reducing the speed limit to M MPH. 'ork Township's section is thus. No reply was forthcoming but wait. and Bee. Failure to ssh-guard residents whose homes lie on this route will tell the story. We fear a traffic accident tragedy .one of these days. Police rarely .patrol this sgctiqn anyway. -. - - Let's add Westmount to this. Ask the folks there if its safe at times tiwalk even across the streets for speeding: lutos. In a residnntial are: this should not be tolerated. Plenty of weeding nutoe. their drivers lacking unv feeling of care, murtesy or common sense. well nigh non-existent police super- vision, will tell the and Mary of I fatal accident ere long, unless the high ups realize that remedial stops are necessary. not in the sweet bye Ind bye, but right now.

Reap the home in order. 4. Light laundry, such as mo- that's and baby's wash and tea towels: 5. Simple bedside care under dir action of doctor and nurse. The homemaker is capable of managing the household during the emergency. Fees are adjusted in consultation with the Red Cross Supervisor. and are confidential. _ Due to the peculiar and difficult transportation problems in the Township, this service will neces- sarily have to be limited at first to these districts in which Home- makers are available. It is the hope of the Committee to eventually have trained homemakers in all sections of the Township, and they are therefore appealing to the pub- lic to spread word of this new service to anyone whom they might think to be qualified for, or inter- ested in this Service. Forming the Service At Etobicoke Red Cross head- uarters recently, Mr. Head, Presi- dent. announced the proposed es- tablishment of a Homemaker Service in the Township of Etobi- coke, under the auspices of the local Branch. “In several Ontario communities," said Mr. Head, "this service is filling a long felt want. When illness strikes and the mo- ther has to go to the hospital, or ‘must remain in bed at home, the Red Cross homemaker goes in each day to take charge of the household, care for and feed the children, allowing the father to re- main at work. The homemaker plans, buys and cooks nourishing meals, and gives simple bedsiw 'trf,,'"""" professional instruc- tion.' Pointing out that it was import- ant that the right type of women be secured for the position of hnmpmakars, Mr. Head stated that some valuable cattle. The Urn is shown (top) " it looked before the fire, and (bottom) after the light- ning eluted the blaze which levelled the large structure. they should be women who have had some practical experience in running their own or someone else's home, and accustg‘med to handling children. They s ould be warm-hearted but firm, capable of assuming responsibility. The home- maker should be old enough to have good judgment, and young enough to be adaptable. As this service is just starting in this community, homemaker, will be taken on on a part-time basis until the service is well known in the area. As the demand increases, there will be full-time homemakers engaged, as well as some on a part-time basis who will be on call for emergencies. These home. makers are paid by the local branch. A standard blue uniform and veil is provided for the home. maker to wear while on duty and inf course an attractive Red Cross lcrest designates the service. Trans- lgortation is paid for by the I ranch. Successful applicants will be given training by the Branch, and in addition a Refresher Course is given annually for homemaker: at the Ontario Division headquar- ters of the Red Cross in Toronto, when leaders in nutrition, child welfare and related fields, give lectures. ' The Red Cross Branch of Etobi- coke is particularly anxious to gpt this greatly needed service under- way. and would urge women inter- ested in being homemakers to up ply immediately to Mrs. Hayward, LY. 4698. Further details of the' service will be appearing in the paper during the next few weeks.
