Being imperfect people, wedded to our idols, we will not long support a government that has none of our own weaknesses. A government that glepends on popular support cannot rise much higher than the people it governs. _A letter to John Atkins, the editor of The %ne from Shingwauk Farm points out that ie aim of all democratic governments is to give the people what they want. If the people are wise and demand what is best for the eountry, the government will be happy to give it to them. But if the people prefer to chase rainbows, it is rainbows they are likely to get. The government will do its best to oblige them. _ h Continued from page Iâ€" orchestra will be conducted by Mr Bruce Metcalfe. At his trial his mother testified that she had no disciplinary control over the boy and sent him to the movies to get rid of him.

It was further brought out that only three aweeks before the murder he saw and was ireatly impressed by a film called ‘"Born to il1," depicting a character whose impulse to kill was "irresistible."â€"The Statesman. Public opinion, or what the government conceived to be public opinion, has forced our government to do many foolish things. The totally unpreparedâ€"condition in which the war found us, the scandalous treatment we gave our fellow Canadians of Japanese origin, the deplorable lack of law enforceâ€" ment in recent labor disputes, were all forced on us by the apathy of the majority of the people, which allowed clamorous minorities to create the impression that they were the Â¥pice of public opinion ; and the government ‘gelded to their demands.â€"The Statesman. "What we always look eagerly for and don‘t find, whenever this complaint comes up, is a nice selection of statistics going to prove that the comic books and radio spineâ€" wrinklers are as bad as all that."

Mr. Wainwright is an employee of the CCM, is a veterâ€" an of Werld War 1 and belongs to the Mount Dennis Branch of the Canadian Legion. It was while sitting in their club house one night that he purchased a ticket from a Weston member, Mr. Wainwright did not at the time own a car. _ The members of the Weston Legion are deeply grateful to all those who supported both the bingo and the draw, and particularly those people who displayed such patience while chairs and tables were being sought, By purchasing tickets on the car and attending the bingo, each person gave his contribution to the Memorial Hall, which Legion members are trying so desperately to complete. The members are aware that tickat purâ€" chases were often made with no hope of any personal gain, but from a «i sire to assist the Legion and their building fund. Mr. Shaw stated, that by taking note of the number of tickets sold, and the number of people who atâ€" of their work. This will be a homeâ€" project for the boys and will serve as a basis for:â€"a Gas Model Club if desired. Christmas carolling is a custom which has faded in some. communâ€" ities and gained great prominence in others, and it is hoped that this project will be successful in Wesâ€" ton. The plans are that the Park, behind the Town hall, should be a contor for half hour‘s carolling every evening during Christmas, with the Community participating led by choral groups. tended the bingo as an indication it was heartâ€"warming to members of the Legion to feel that they have the esteem and backing of the Legion Stage Black outs certainly are annoying. They are disrupting individual householders, inâ€" dustry and merchandising, they are inconâ€" veniencing the people, yet, what can be done? Nature has been a great factor in the situation, due to lack of rains and water storage. Man‘s ingenuity has failed to anticipate the required needs. War demands restricted developments, governments‘ hands were tied, the installation of all the domestic electrical utilities have made a great drain on domestic power. These are the factors that have caused the inconveniences and are a serious threat to production and sales. How can this be overcomeâ€"by every individual facing the facts and setting out with a determination to better the situation. Already many retail outlets and manufacturers are bringing into use emergency and auxiliary plants, which are proving a big saving of power. By dint of cutâ€"offs the city of Toronto has reduced its conservation to within 2% of its quota. That 2% must be reached. Other municipalities are finding it difficult to cut down to the minimum. However, it is absolutely necessary that the quota set be strictly adhered to. Therefore, industry is called upon to exercise every care in the preserving of electricity. Watch that extra motor, that extra light, that extra consumpâ€" ion. In the retail stores much more saving can be had through instructing employees to see that all unnecessary lights are turned off immediately. Greatest saving can be had throughout domestic use. How often do you see the whole house lighted, when one light or two lights would be sufficient? How often do you see the cellar light burning when it is aboslutely unnecessary, maybe forgotten? However, these are the leaks and it is the small leaks that count. Those who are in a position to save power by generating their own power are to be commended. For the benefit of all people it is essential that every individual check closely on the consumption of electricity wherever they come in contact with it. By a thorough cooperation of every individual it is to be hoped that the present restrictions imposed will bring all municiâ€" palities within their quota. WESTON MEMORIAL HOSPITAL Congratulatons »eu-ulll?v are in order to the board of directors of the Weston Meâ€" morial Hospital. After a year‘s work gince the campaign jwas launched, the sod ‘was turned on Remembrance Day, November 11. This is a great achievement and one that is greatly needed. It has received the coâ€" operation and support of the citizens in and around Weston, onhe Ontario government, of some of the municipalities within the area and no doubt will receive substantial support from the balance who have not as yet subâ€" scribed. The Lieut. Governor, the Hon. Ray Lawson, the Minister of Health, the Hon. Russell Kelley, and the civic officials from the surrounding municipalities were all presâ€" ent and paid tribute to the vision, leadership and support given to the undertaking. This venture is one of the most progressive that has been undertaken by any municipality around Toronto. It required vision and courage, but with the cooperation and supâ€" port of the people and all concerned, success has attended their éfforts. Hospitalization is absolutely essential for the health and welfare of the people generally. With this fine, well equippeé) centre, it means that Westan has again taken the lead, as she did in education. Weston leaders are to be conâ€" gratulated upon their initiative. This is only the start of a great venture and the directors and officers of the Weston Memorial Hospital are looking forward with anticipation to further support of the people generally. There is still a great need for another hospital in the west end of Toronto. The large hospitals are overâ€"taxed and those in the west end of the city feel that there is an ideal location for a hospital that will serve the west end of the city, York Township and Eobicoke. This site is the Lambton Park section. There is an opportunity here for public spirited citizens to take hold of this enterprise. It does require vision, it does require cooperation and. it does require the fullest support and cooperation of all the leaders.

"We are indeed truly grateful and appreciative", he said, thank you again people of Weston". One of the basic requirements for membership in the group is the ability to read well and to have a background _ of instruction â€" and practice on the instrument of one‘s choice. It is also pointed out that the group is one of primary outlet for the people in the community who play and cannot commit themâ€" selves to city groups, or do not feel desirous of public exhibition,. This eoncert group will be a place where musicians can meet regularly to play. The composition of the orchestra must be balanced and persons who perform on strings and woodwinds are in demand. All insttumentalists who are interested in such a group can obtain further information by getting in touch with either Mr. Bruce Metcaife, or the Recreation Director. Bruce Metcalfe To Conduct New Municipal Orch. Led by Mr. Bruce Metcalfe, a party of interested musicians disâ€" cussed the possibility of forming a Concert Orchestra in the town. The meeting was chaired by the Direcâ€" tor of Recreation. Among the points discussed were policy and plans. It was emphasized by Mr. Metcalfe that the group would act as a medium by which men and women in the community might further their musical accomplishâ€" ment. The aim of the group would be to play concert music in proâ€" gressive stages of development so that the orchestra would eventualâ€" ly represent an achicvement to which the younger musicians might strive, Editor, Times & Guide, Weston, Ontario Sir: We‘ve deliberately laid off the Town _ Council‘s Transportation Committee this year because it apâ€" peared earlier that they were at least trying. Events have proven how wrong we were. The Weston Road line is in a worse mess than ever. You doubt this? We‘d like to know then why people are still forced to change at the Edmund Avenue loop? The old road bed doesn‘t prevent the trolley coaches from going right through. We‘d like to know why the new steel posts to carry the trolley coach overhead aren‘t in along the entire length of Main Street? The enginâ€" eer located them on his plan months ago. We‘d like to know why only two motor buses are on durâ€" Mr. Anderson may be a sincere member of the CCF, but he is duped if he thinks C. Millard is a faithful leader for the actions of this soâ€"called socialist prove him to be the exact opposite, and it might be news to Mr. Anderson to know that Mr. Mosher, colleague of Mr. Millard at the convention refused to sign a petition for a Canadian Bill of Rights submitted by a group of Jehovah‘s Witnesses. No sir, these guys don‘t know the meaning of democracy, they are opposed to democracy, and should be exposed as such for they are intent on doing foul work inâ€" side the Labour Movement using high sounding words to kid along the mugs. But what was it Abe Lincoln said about kidding some and all of the people some and all of the time. Yours respectfully, The Editor, Times and Guide, Weston. Dear Sir: Your correspondent W. Anderson certainly falls over himself in last week‘s issue of the Times and Guide, to pay high tribute to the work of Charlie Millard at the reâ€" cent Canadian Congress of Labour Convention, He could be forgiven for his jubilation if the facts were as he claimed namely, that Mr. Millard led the forces of democracy. But when the truth of the matter is really that Mr, Millard and his colâ€" leagues, Mr. Mosher, brought in substitute resolutions which were contrary to, and even directly opâ€" posed the resolutions of the Unions on Communism, and that tdese soâ€" called democrats used procedure and also opposed discussion, it is easy to understand how the reâ€" sults obtained did not reflect truly the feelings of the delegates. Moreover, in carrying the fight against the best sons and daughâ€" ters of the working class, the comâ€" munists, Mr. Millard was using the weapon of Hitlerism and was in reality destroying the unity of the movement which is the principle reason why he received the plaudits of the enemies of Organized Labour. This fact is further underlined when it is known that 150 deleâ€" gates abstained from voting and between 150 and 200 delegates conâ€" tinuously opposed the administraâ€" tion led by Charlie Millard. * enclosed.

We‘ll give you the answer to [thst one now, Motor buses cost almost twice as much to operate as trolley coaches and the local Transportation Committee are tryâ€" ing to cover up their losses by cutting service. Rather they should be pushing the trolley coaches through Weston at once. May we,remind Council and its immovable’\'I‘ransportation group that the cold weather is here and their names will be pretty unpopâ€" ular among the shivering Edmund loop staidees, And we hope they don‘t dust off that proposal that $2,000 or $3,00) be spent on a loop waiting room. Get on with the job of putting trolley coaches through now, then the waiting room and its expense will be unnecessary, Sincerely, A. A. (Larry) Stevemson Ed. Note: 1. Steel Posts are now under erection on Main Street South, 2. During Rush Hours Three Motor Buses are in use, 3. Trolley Coaches must of necessity follow its overhead system to loop and reâ€" turn. Road construction at North end prevents this. Trolley Coaches can not be rerouted like gas buses. __ This is.commonly called Stir Up Sunday. It is the last Sunday of the church year and calls upon all to look closely into the past, facing facts and preparing for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. ‘The coming of the Advent Season is the preparation for the great Christmas festivities. During this week all are asked to heed the prophesy made by Jeremish, from which the Epistle for the day is taken, Jeremiah 23 and 5. In this it foretells the coniing of our Lord Jesus Christ. ‘We have seen the fulfillment of that prophesy and we are called up to prepare ourselves for the second great coming. At no time in the history of the world has there been a greater need for self examination and preparation for perfect mtymfldlflmm‘ of the universe depends upon the cultivation ‘of a proper ip and preparation for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. and preparation for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. In the Gospel appointed for the day we have the very familiar story of the feeding of the five thousand. It is a story that is full of compassion and interest and shows the love that is awaiting man if he will but return to his God, Peace of the universe is dependent upon true brotherhopd, developed through the associations witk God. Mr. Sam Wilson, Publisher, Times and Guide. Dear Sir: The recent Red Feather camâ€" paign for funds which has been completed with such singular sucâ€" cess in Greater Weston, is due in no small measure to the very fine coâ€"operation and assistance renderâ€" ed by your staff. It is indeed a great satisfaction in these troubled times to encounter such : n example of willingness and assistance durâ€" ing the campaign. This whole week is a call to all to so prepare that they may be in a position to celebrate in the highest sense of the word, the great Christmas festivities. This commemorates the first coming of our Lord Jesus Christ as the Babe of Bethichem. I wish to express my sincere appreciation to your paper. Yours sincerely, C. F. Evans, Campaign Chairman.

In spite of bereavement, abuse and betrayâ€" al,; he expressed a loving devotion to both his father and his brethâ€" ren. He came to them bringing tidings of home, and they, envious because of his strange dreams and honored position attacked and threw him into an empty waterâ€" well. But God rules over the afâ€" fairs of men and Joseph was pulled out of his apparent tomb and sold to Arab traders to be a slave boy in Egypt. The brothers returned with blood on the beautiful boy‘s coat and as a lying witness to the father . . . Another was sent by His Father to bring glad tidings to men. They too conspired against Him when He spoke of sin and judgment and with crue!l hands took and crucified Him upon a Roman cross. ‘"He came into His own and His own received Him not, but as many as received Him, to them He gave the power to beâ€" come the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name." The challenge today still rings â€" are you conspiring against Him in reâ€" jecting His love and salvation, or will you claim the never failing promise by faith in His substituâ€" tionary work on Calvary and reâ€" ceive the authority to be called His child? St. Phillip‘s , A service of special interest will be held in St. Philip‘s Church next Sunday morning at 11 a.m. This will be the annual missionary servâ€" ice and we are highly privileged in having as our preacher, Dr. W.

The members of the Westâ€" mount Army and Navy Veterans, and the Weston Naval Cadets paraded to the service, led by the Weston Navy Band. It was a most impressive service. The choir of St. Matthias Church led the singâ€" ing and rendered the anthem "At Eventide" in a pleasing way. Miss Laura Baxter very ably sang the solo entitled "I Know That He Is Mine", accompanied at the organ by Mr. E. Cathcart, The Rev. T. B. Butler was assisted in the servâ€" ice by Mr. D. Lancaster. Wreaths were placed and the Last Post Two services of unusual interest were held in the parish last Sunâ€" day.
