At the final business meeting for 1948 of the Weston Business fien's Asspciation held at Martindale L&e on Monday evening, Clare Coleman was unanimously elected to the gosltion of president of the association for the year 1949.. Immediately following the dinner and an eni:yable sing sonfi conâ€" ducted by Mac Hayes and Murray Rumple, President Bruce Pollard got the business of the evening under way with the calling of the roli and introduction of new memâ€" bers and visitorss Mayor to Stand __ S es His Worship Mayor Dougherty was called upon to make his usual regort to the business men. After a brief outline of the Main street project and the water softening plant, His Honor stated that he was particularly anxious to thank the association for the privilege of appearing before them at their regular monthly dinner meetings. Mr. Dousherty brought to the atâ€" tention of those g}'esent the growth of t‘e town of Weston during the past couple of years and stated that the population now is in the neiihborhood of 7,200 with | a probable total of over 12,000 in the adjacent area. He also reminded his listeners that the sod turning ceremonies of the Humber Meâ€" morial Hospital were to take place Thursday afternoon and urged all to attend this momentous event in our â€" community‘s â€" history. _ Mr. Dougherty J)ointed out that while Weston had been selected as the site for the erection of the hospital and while it was primarily a Weston project, That it was for the use of the residents of the surâ€" rounding municipalities as well. The Mayor, in making the anâ€" nouncement that he intends to stand for the mayorality again this year, pointed out that he had served on the council for six years.! and in that time has never missed a meeting or been late for one. The mayor stated that alqng with other members of council he felt that due to the important work that »had been undertaken this . year by council, he would like to see the work through to a completion. President Pollard thanked. the mayor for his interest and his atâ€" ‘tendance at the meetings of the association and assured the mayor that he had the good wishes of the members. Hold Church Service __ _ & The Rev. Charles MacLaren of Westminster United extended a hearty invitation to the business men and their wives to attend a special Business Men‘s Service and social evening to be held at Westâ€" minster Church on the evening of Sunday, November 21. The invitaâ€" tion was greatly appreciated by the members present and by a show of hands was unanimously accepted. Historian Visitor ooo Mr. Pollard introduced to the association Mr. J. Dukes, a hisâ€" torian who was connected with the late Dr. Dougherty of the Canadian: Government _ Historical _ Departâ€" ment. Mr. Dukes brought some very interesting information to the members when he told them that the first Canadian postage stamp was developed in Weston by a young Scot by the name of Sandâ€" ford Fleming who came to Weston in the year 1844. The background for the young lithographer‘s first effort wes a reproduction of a ric- ture of Queen Victoria, that he had â€"Continued on page 6 28 MAIN N. _ ZONE 4â€"400 Coleman Given Unanimous Voteâ€"Nominations Of Other Offices Held, Election To Be Held First Meeting In Januaryâ€"To Hold Church Service I J Weston should be proud of the work that is being done by the Weston police force. In these days when crime is so rampant and every centre finds it most difficult to keep evcr{thing in perfect order, records show that Weston is in a most favorable position. On going over the records we find that the staff consisting of chief, sergeant, seven constables and office girl have been called upon to put in many extra hours in order to meet the conditions. We find that this staff has been required to cover a lot of territory. Here is the report from January 1 to October, 1948: Overtime worked by all force, 362 hours; time off received for OT, 260 hours; 7% days lost by men due to sickness and accident. 7,000 inspections of businesses made (excluding Mairi St.); 2,000 vacant homes (holiday time, ete.) checked; 3,400 minor complaints of all nature investigated; 138 motor accidents investigated; 1,159 warning tickets issued; 70 fires attended. 61 criminal cases, 110 byâ€"law cases, 389 traffic cases, 36 liquor cases (these cases were summons or arrest and all went Wugh the courts. Shiftsâ€"one man and chief on three days a week (8.00/a.m. to 4.00); two men and chief on four days a week (8.00 a.m. to 4.00) (this is necessary because each man only works six dag‘s a week, and therefore there would be three days a week when the &hift was a man short). Miss Fogden in office Monday to Saturday. Two men on afternoon shift (4.00 to midnight); sergeant on shift from 9.00 p.m. until 5.00 a.m.; two men on midnight to 8.00 a.mi. (This leaves one man for relief duty, who replaces men on their da:iy off. Also necessary during holiday time, two weeks in sumâ€" mer and one week in winter, Winter holidays are l}:\ lieu of statutory holidays which police don‘t get.) Besides above, they also have conâ€" tinuous patrols of entire townâ€"supervision of dances and recreation centreâ€"spend 2%, hours every day at school crossingâ€"take VON calls. Miss Norn?a Fogden, police necretar{. is, nccordir)lghto Chief Grant, one of the busiest persons connected with the force. is can easily be understood when one realizes that all traffic fines are paid at police office; bicycle licenses and do‘fllicensm are issued from the office and gayment received there. To date, 580 traffic fines were paid and 510 icycle licenses issued. Miss Fogden also has all the paper work to do re?ardinx court cases, as well as fenenl office work such as typing, filing, making out regular monthly rsxorts. and has two phones to answer which conve{;pproxim.uly 8 outgoing and incoming calls during twentyâ€"four hours. Her job is not one she can work at conâ€" timufiy, for repeated inbermption&(rom people at the counter asking directions, etc., make this imgouib . The reason that we are bringing this to the attention of the public is because there has been some controversy that the police are overâ€" staffed. It has been shown that in the old days two men looked after the detail. It is well that the public should recall that when two men looked afer the situation, this coverage and protection were not given. ‘There was not the Eopuhuon that we 'lowu',':"' Then.werahnot fl';o calls T . en eeon Ee Caalion ‘Shis and same AdTOPE P We s ie PPR en oR oc eere i2 ns hak upon the rollco ofrl‘ce to be perrormed.

Through all this she never lost consciousness or cried out with pain, and was up and about her daily duties as usual the next morning. RADIO "Red Feather" Drive Extended Quota Reached The Community Chest Camâ€" paign in Weston has been extended another week, according to Mr. C. F. Evans, chairman of the greater Weston zone. Mr. Evans stated that the extra time was necessary to allow canvassers to complete their calls and make their r((eiport, and until that time, he said, no definite figures would be known. He did state, however, that as of â€" last Mon(iay, the Greater Weston campaign was just going over the top, and expected that with the final returns in, the zone would be considerably well over the quota of $3,830.00. He said that anyone who has not yet made a donation and wishes to do so, maX mail their contributions to the Red Feather Headquarters, 2 King The third and final report lunâ€" cheon of the Community Chest of Greater Toronto» was held at the King Edward Hotel last week, and was sponsored by Canada Packers.

It certainly is most timely and should be observed carefully by every individual, Two great wars have been enacted; greed, suspicion, jealousy and desire for control have been.the cause of these great catastrophies. At this time when these ugly heads are rising again, is it not well that we should stop and remember those men and women, who with a faith, hoped to establish a peace that would be lasting. They gave their all in order that we might live, yet we find that same ugly head rising again; greed for power, for money, for position, suspicion of every individual running rampant, jealousy and hatred being fomented at every possible occasion. The picture calls for a halt, We do not want to enter another warâ€"how can it be stopped? God still reigns supreme. If men would but remember that he is dependent upon the mercies of God for his very existence, there would be a different attitude towards God and His Church. In the dark days of 1940 we were ready to get on our bended knees, but that is past. In the dark days of 1916 and 17 we pleaded for help from him. Now in these dark days it is the opportune time for us to remember what has passed, and with a true faith turn to Him, our Guide and Leader, for direction in the way that we should go. Remembrance Day is one that should sink deep into the hearts of every individual. We can promote the peace that our heroes and heroines died for, by erasing from all our feelings, hatred, malice, greed, jealousy and suspicion and create a love and true brotherhood throughâ€" out the universe. This is something to think about and to put into effect on Remembrance Day, November the 11th, 1948, Effective last Friday, November 5, a new J)ower interrugtion scheâ€" dule was drawn uz) at the meeting last Wednesday of the local Hydro Commission. With interuptions at 9.00 to 10.00 in the morning, 4.00 to 5.00 in the afternoon, and at 9.30 to 10.30 in the evening, the new }E‘ower cuts total three hours daily. he enlarged total of inten'ug- tion time is partly the result of the fact that the previous quota was not being met by the town and partly a consequence of the new 7% cut in quotas to all municipaliâ€" One Hour Power Cut In Eveningsâ€"Two Daytime Cuts: New Hydro Plan ties. Whether the new series of hydro cuts for the town will enable Wesâ€" ton to meet the new quota is not as yet known, but it is known that it will not do so unless domestic and> commercial. consumers save more power and cooperate fully. The domestic â€" commercial snvinfis are still considerably short of the needed 25% and t{ey must put forth their utmost effort to make every conservation of power that is possible. The meeting of the heads of local industries last week at which a committee was elected to plan ways and means that the industries might save power, has already borne fruit. The committee has This Sunday evenini. the first service will be held in the beautiful new Baptist church on Main street south, and will mark the beginning of twoâ€"weeks of special dedication services, which will be held nightly, at New Baptist Church Opening Climax Of 40 Years Struggle The opening of the church is the climax of 40 years of hope and struggle for the Baptist congregaâ€" tion, who have worked untiringly to erect their place of worship. Forty years ago, about a half dozen Baptist Christians started a service of worship in a tent on the property of Mr. Geonge Pollard, who incidentally is the only reâ€" maining member of that group. Mr. Pollard turned the first sod for the building, of this new church edifice. "WEST YORK‘S NEWSY WEEKLY" 4 Woodbridge _ Westmount _ Humber Heights Mt. Dennis When the small church was erected, it was placed diagonally at the rear of the lot to make room for the building of a larger church, and although it was forty years before the dream came true, the congregation never gave up hope despite m any. disappointments which delaved the construction. _ Rev. A. J. Greer, minister of the Baptist church said this week that these past 40 years hold many precious memories. "Although the members had their quota of disâ€" turbances," he said "they nevertheâ€" Remembrance Day THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 11. drawn up a schedule by which all major industries and many of the smaller industries in the area will work 0n|Â¥l four of the five week days and have staggered the workâ€" ing days of all industries so that all major industries and many smaller ones will work only four of the five week days, thus relievâ€" ing a considerable load of the ?uota. The industries are doing a ine job of coâ€"operating with the Hydro in this erisis. In North York (Summerlea), the Hydro announced new . cutâ€"off hours last week there also. The inâ€" terruptions are from 9.00 to 10.00 a.m., from 12.30 to 1.45 p.m., and from 3.30 to 4.30 p.m. A considerable number of comâ€" gl‘aints had been made previous to e new schedule both to the Times and Guide and to the parties conâ€" cerned about the old schedule which made it quite evident that the majority _of _ householders favoured a oneâ€"hour interruption in the evening to the hourly fifâ€" teenâ€"minute breaks. The new evenâ€" ing schedule should prove to be fairly popular to the residents of the area, since it will eliminate much of the popping up and down to light or extinguish candles or lamps. less look back on a history of fellowship and happiness. Being few in number they were of necesâ€" sity drawn close to each other. They remained faithful until others came to swell their numbers and make possible this beautiful building." Rev. Greer has extended an invitatiqn to the people of Weston to visil&he new church or attend one or two of the services. Monday, November 15, is Home and Local Night, when Rev. Currie Creelman, of the Weston Ministerial Assoâ€" ciation and Mayor T. E. Dougherty will be guest speakers. Rev. Albert Eikenaar, a former pastor will also speak. During the two weeks following the opening service, special speakâ€" ers from both Weston and outâ€"ofâ€" town will be guests, with special vocalists and musicians at each service. â€" _ . "This church," Rev. Greer stated, "is being dedicated to a completely evangelistic work, and to the cause of missions in particular. The glory and credit for the whole project is not being given to the fi:stor, nor to any group of memâ€" rs, but to our Heavenly Father. To Him we turned in our extremity, and His answer is the lovely church about to be opened." Pathologist Shows Scientific Method Of Solving Crimes At the Octob:,r 26 meeting of the Men‘s Club jof Central United Church, the speaker, Dr. I. H. Erb, was introduced by Mr. Gerald Angâ€" lin. Dr. Erb, the Consulting Pathâ€" olqgist to the Attorney General, described the work of scientific crime detection and used as an exâ€" ample a case of violent death in which suspicion pointed strongly to the son of the victim, Then Dr. Erb demonstrated with slides how a close study of the evidenceâ€"the position of the body, the wounds inflicted on it, etec.â€"fimally led to the conclusion that what had seemâ€" ed so obviously a murder was in fact a suicide. Lieut.

At the Dee Avenue plant there is considerable piping to be installed between the various units, considerable of which ha: sbeen completed, while most of the speâ€" cial piping is on hand to be inâ€" stalled to complete the piping layout. â€" _ oys A new water softener for the Wilson Avenue plant has been ordered, and when this softener is installed, all the water from the Wilson Ave. deep wells including the supply from the Jackson Wells, will be softened, he explained. The Commission is hopeful of having the water softening plant completâ€" ed and in operation early in 1949, predicted Mr. Hand. . u2 The contract for the new standâ€" pipe has been awardedâ€"and will be constructed in‘ the vicinity of the Wilson Avenue gll.nt on property owned by the Public Utilities Comâ€" mission. However, it is felt, some delay will be encountered, owing to the difficulty in obtaining steel plate, but it is hoped that the inâ€" stallation will be completed next summer. From recent calculations, Mr. Hand said it was apparent that the total work as contemplated and as covered by byâ€"law will be completed within the estimated cost of $175,000. â€" MacDonald Ave. senior school &n overcrowded condition in the other two schools will be very greatly relieved. Up to this time, it has been found necessary to use an office and several other nonâ€"class rooms, including rooms in the basements of the two schools for the teaching of the senior pupils. Mr. Marchant, secretaryâ€"treaâ€" surer of the Weston Board of Education, reported to the Times & Guide that the board had been given Nov. 15 as a tentative openâ€" ing date only. It is expected, however, that if the school is not opened. on that date that it will only be a matter of days after until it will be opened.
