ZONE 4â€"485 Joint Action A committee from Mimico and one from Etobicoke will seek to have the odours from that Indusâ€" trial plant west of the creek eliminated. In his argument the member from the south end of the townâ€" ship, said it was ridiculous to spend thousands of dollars in the estabâ€" lishment of parks and recreation centres, only to have these spoiled by a polluted water course. _ _ __ When brother Lewis has cleaned up the Humber River, he could just mebbe, get busy in regards to the condition of the Mimico Creek, some portions of which have called for attention for many moons past. Councillor Bev_ Lewis, deputy cletk Stan Eckersley and Sanitary Inspector Wallace Johnston will form the township committee. | our township." . Councillor Bev. Lewis was strong in his condemnaâ€" tion of the practise of private interests who continue to pollute the river with waste, etc. _ There are many in our township who will agree with the Councillor and he will be gladly supported in any endeavour to obtain a more desirable condition. For the umpteenth time the plant management will be requestâ€" ed to cooperate and put a stop to the nuisance. The Humber Conservation Auâ€" thority has been asked to take steps to prevent further pollution of the water course, and morlef}ur- ticularly we presume, as it affects The deputy clerk (Stan Eckersâ€" ley) was instructed to make the request to the Conservation Board. The nuisance has been in existâ€" ence for years, and it is hight time it was dealt with effectively. A number of near by residents think their assessment should be lowered and some think they should not be called upon to pay taxes whilst the nuisance existed. It is said that our Reeve felt mighty glad that the incident did not occur in the Lakeshore district, as there migzht have been quite a delay in obtaining taxi service from that quarter, _ _ _ â€" â€" At one time whilst a member of our Council,: Alan Dignan, served on the Roads and Bridges Comâ€" mittee, and the situation must have felt like old times. Humber River It will be interesting to watch developments in this matter, Stimulation We read somewhere that municiâ€" pal elections should be held regularâ€" ly, if only to stimulate the current members of council. If the proposal is completed, over one hundred thousand dollars of the issue will be provided direct from the owners of the properties involved, the balance coming by way of local improvement. The incident necessitated a walk of about a mile, and a call for Taxis from Weston, to convey the rrty to The Albany Club for luncheon. As far as Etobicoke is concerned, the continued expansion of the township serves very well to proâ€" vide all the stimulation that is necessary for good local governâ€" ment, by the representatives of the electorate. __ e We understand that consideraâ€" tion has been given for the issuance of debentures to the extent of just over three hundred thousand dolâ€" lars, for the installation of Sanitary and storm sewers, water mains and side walks in certain areas of the township. { 00 o On The Job At a recent meeting of Council when fifteen resolutions weie con: sidered, Councillor Bev Lewis was identified with thirteen of them (he moved ten and supported three). rnld Reeve, Clive Sinclair, and a ‘ormer member of our Council, one Alan , who is chairman of the township Planning Board, , _ When things municipally are going well, when the taxes are reasonable, and when major deâ€" velopments have been planned and are under way, to our mind an election is unnecessary, and might easily be the means of delaying progress. _ 0 â€" Our Hydro Utility want a quarâ€" ter of a million dollars for expanâ€" sion and present obligations, and it will likely get it through the medium of debentures issues. _ It is a long long time since Hydro asked for financial assistâ€" ance. Awkward When a house is started to be built before a building permit has been issued, it causes some irritaâ€" tion and official objection. When the house is not conforming to the street lins of the locality, it beâ€" comes an aggravated issue. Debentures ronto an oR ds us An incident of this nature is said to have arisen in our township, and we believe that Councilior Clarke Wardlaw has been asked to look into the matter, and attempt a satisfactory arrangement, if in any way possible. â€" Sign When our Sanitary Inspector deemed it advisable to fix a certain sign upon a building, the owner didn‘t like it, and asked the Counâ€" cil to order the sign removed. On the understanding that the preâ€" mises involved would NOT be used for human habitation, the Council agreed to the request. _ Want Quarters Alan Dignan who was at one News from Etobicoke Included in the party were our t itself t itself all mired up in a the North York district Weston 65â€"W.

The meetâ€" ing was called for the purpose of electing a trustee to fill the vacnnc‘y; on the board, caused through the resignation of former Trustee William Brayman. _ Charlie McHugh of Daniel street presided and Charlie Reid acted as secretary of the meeting, after Norm Savage and Reg Gair had deâ€" clined the honour, The Chairman explained the reason for calling the meeting and asked the secretary to reag the resignation letter as received from former Trustee Brayman. _ Earl Higley of Milton street was the only nominee for trustee and he was nominated by Maurice Godâ€" dard, a public school supporter and resident of the same street. Upon motion of Cecil Cox, the time limit for nominations was suspended and the chairman declared Earl Higley duly elected. An interesting talk was given by Mrs. Kate Aitken, to a large audiâ€" ence, at the St. Georges Churchâ€"onâ€" theâ€"Hill, Islington, last week. The occasion was arranged by members of the Willing Workers of the church. When Mrs. Olsen of Lamode avenue, our township, decided to bring in her infant daughter, Ella, from her carriage, to feed her, she found the baby had suffocated. Coroner Doctor W, K. Fenton inâ€" vestigated. _ â€" Elect Trustee In the letter Bill said he had acâ€" quired a home in the village of Port Credit, and was unable to conâ€" tinue in office, the writer paid perâ€" sonal tribute to both Trustees Ed Eason and Joe Gair for cooperation and assistance during his term of trusteeship. _ The funeral was observed on Thursday of last week, interment being at Park Lawn cemetery.

Infant Suffocates The fine Baptist church being erected in the Kingsway district is nearing completion and arrange~ ments are being made for the oien- ing and dedication services, which will be observed in the near future.

The Magistrate of the Islington Police Court, assessed the fine for removing three cases of the amber liquid to be fifteen dollars and costs, according to & report in a Toronto paper. _ â€" Genuine sympathy was manifest when it became known in Humber Bay, that Miss Velva Lockbart, daughter of Mr, and Mrs. Walter noon of last week.

We understand that Mr. Taylor was the victim of an attack by unâ€" known assailants one night about a couple of weeks ago, and that he has been a Entient at St. Josephs Hospital. The reverend gentleman is held in very high esteem in Humber Bay, and his many friends are pulling for a complete recovery from a dastardly attack, If we remember correctly this is not the first time the Pufre, who served overseas, with the Colours, has met with a similar incident. Lloydbrook 5950 for .. wants we must always recognize that the ability of the provincial governâ€" ments and the municipal councils to carry out their many vitally imâ€" portant duties, which in so many cases are most directly related to the daily activities of our people, depends to a large extent upon the efficiency of the National governâ€" ment untf' the assurance of adequate taxing powers to the provincial governments and the municipal councils for their everâ€"increasing responsibilities. Perhaps in less than a year, and in any event within less than two years, all of you who are of votâ€" ing age will be called upon to deâ€" cide who is going to represent you in the next %’arliament of Canada and also to choose tle political party which will form a governâ€" ment that can best serve the whole of Canada and, through that serâ€" vice, best carry out your own perâ€" sonal desires for the future. How you vote next year or in 1950 is a matter of very freat concern, not only for yourself but for all Canâ€" adians wim want to see Canada strong and united through the great and challenging days which lie ahead, The vote of each one of us will only be one in many milâ€" lions, but only when all of us, who can vote, do vote can we truthfully say that government for all our people is government by all our people. That, after all, is the hallâ€" mark of real democracy. At a time when so many millions of people have lost their freedom, simply because they did not exerâ€" cise ti’;eir birthri%ht to share in the responsibility of government, I think that each one of us should resolve that we will make Canada a total democracy, and that we will not be satisfied with a limited democracÂ¥ in which a quarter of our population or more takes no part whatever in the election of those who conduct the nation‘s business. Tonight I am s ng on one of the regular bmm allotted by the C.g‘é. for political discussion in a series entitled "The Nation‘s Busâ€" iness", That seems a very appropriâ€" ate title. The business of governâ€" ment affects the daily life as well as the future happiness and securâ€" ity of every Canadian far more than any other business in the country. Your opportunity for work, the return you get for what you do, the measures of economic and social security established by the State, as well as all the mnnfr facilities and conveniences we all regard as necessary for our health and comfort depend upon the efficiencly of government at the National, provincial, and municipal level. Now, and on other occasions when I will be speakinE to you over the radio, my remarks will be mainly directed to the National government, but at the same time If this were a twoâ€"way radio, I am sure that many of you would say to me at this point, "What you have said so far is all right in principle, but in practice we have little chance to decide who will represent us because a closed party organization in each riding chooses the candidate and we have no opâ€" portunity to get the kind of repreâ€" sentative we really want." That is the very point I want to discuss with you tonight because I want to make it clear that wherever you live, from the Atlantic to the Pacâ€" ific, you not only have the chance to choose the candidate who will reé)resent our Party in your own riding in the next National election, but we want and will welcome your participation in those Party activiâ€" ties which will decide who is to be the candidate in your riding, and which will have such a very great deal to do with who will be the next member to represent you at Ottawa. Under the strictly rationed freeâ€" dom of speech permitted over the networks of the Canadian Broadâ€" casting Corporation, which inâ€" cidentally are the only networks now available to Canadians for political discussion, I am allowed thirteen and a half minutes to speak to you tonight, which you will realize is a very short time within _ which to discuss _ the Nation‘s Business. In future I will take every opportunity I can to use the radio facilities available to me, but for the reason I have menâ€" tioned it is essential that I stick to a limited aspect of one subject, and I hope you will regard this only as an introduction to further and more extensive discussions of those political affirs in which evéery one of us shares a common interest, whether we belong to the same partfiv or at present to no party at all. I have had to to you » ban chores ‘ns Ratioim1" Teaier "of the Progressive Conservative m a week ago Saturday, may I these remarks on a personal note. My wife and I have been very deeply moved by the warm and frienally sentiments conveyed to us in the thousands of letters and teleâ€" grams we have received from ovz{y part of Canada and also by the v‘rJ' kind things that have been said in thatgmu. We do hope we can justify the confidence which so many of you have expressed, in what we are trying to do. Once, again may we just say, "Thank you very much". RECURB® AnVM,.

Carried back into the ridings, the splendid spirit of the Ottawa Convention, will assure hundreds of thousands of new adherents to our cause, Active organizing efforts should be carried forward everyâ€" where to give that interest and that support a sense of direction. ;and the opportunity to produce decisive results in the next election. to time, The only way that our stated aims can be given legisâ€" lative effect is to build an effective political organization in eve? ridâ€" ing so that men and women who beâ€" lieve in our policies may be called upon to form a government after the next National election. Organizâ€" ation is not however an end in itself, nor is it merely a system by which candidates may be chosen and the necessary activities carried on during an election. Organizâ€" ation should provide the opportunâ€" ity for a full and free discussion, in every part of every riding, of those National issues which are of general concern and also of those local issues which vary so greatly from riding to riding in a vast country like ours. In carrying out the high purâ€" poses of our great movement, the starting point for all our efforts is organization. If you believe that our party can best serve your own interests and above all build a strong and united Canada where our splendid youth will find opporâ€" tunity and encouragement for the years ahead, then this organization is your own personal responsibility. It cannot be done from any one central point. If you believe that political action is an essential part of our democratic system, may I urge you to join g’our own local organization immediately, or if it happens that there is no active organization where you live, then may I sugiest that you start one, ‘?o matter how small it may be at irst. _ Since being chosen as National Leader of the Progressive Conseryâ€" ative Party I have given instrucâ€" tions for the preparation of a booklet/on party organization. This will cover riding organization and also the organization of women‘s and young people‘s associations. It will soon be ready for distribution and notices will appear in the press explaining where to write, in your own province, so that you may obtain copies and also receive information regarding other bookâ€" lets and information which which will follow,. in the meantime do not hesitate to take such steps as you think advisable for the purpose of creating local organizations in any areas where they doâ€"not now exist and for the purpose of strenrthening existing organizaâ€" tions. I have spoken particularly to those who have already made up their minds that the policies of our party will give Canada the kind of government which will lead us forward as a free people to the fulâ€" filment of our great destiny as a nation. To those who have not yet made up their minds and wish to study our policies and purposes may I suggest that you also write for our booklets and other inforâ€" mation when the press notices, to which I have referred, appear. can 'beAlf _do it. ;'141!â€"1; '_;(; 'u ;‘e;; out and expand all the Communists to bm the Emm of all our affairs under the absolute power of one central authority, If ‘fl believe in the n,:flney of arliament, :fi that the real “”dmtf) to ht.ehi:nxou]un some part to play cosing your representative in that Parliament If you believe, as I am sure you do, that the best way to meet our exâ€" The natural question for you to ask me is, "What can I do?" That . is the question I will try to answer, In doing so I mofi:uu that I am . speaking to many who have already decided to support the Progressives Conservative Party: to many who have not yet made ui.thur minds and are anxious to have informâ€" ation which will guide them in their decision; and also to a great many young people, who have not yet associated themselves with one political party or another. First let me speak to those who have already decided to lmgport our Part): n{;d:v&flt to know how they and lasting domestic/ foundation, then I know you will want to do what you can to unite this country in one strong and friendly partnerâ€" ship from sea to sea, that the best wn{.to meet ou ternal problems is to build a As we see nation after nation losâ€" ing its freedom under the dreadful power of one form of tyranny or another, every Canadian who values freedom, should take an increasâ€" ing interest in political education and in those issues which will call for their decision in the not too distant future. In a healthy democracy there will always be nore than one party. My main concern, as I am sure it is yours, is that all who have the right to vote will vote and that in the meantime they take an active interest in pubâ€" lic affairs. My own belief is that as the policies and the purfious of the parties are studied the great majority of Canadians will turn to the Progressive Conservative Party as the party which will bu; serve the legitimate interests o rerve the legitimate interests of the people of Canada wherever they live and whatever their cecupation may be. The important thing is however, that all of us exercise our franchise and prepare ourselves to do it wisely. If you share my views, then may I urge you in all earnestness to start organizing right now.
