One of the-most successful yet was the verdict on the fifth annual Weston Winter Carnival, which attracted about 3,000 spectators to the Weston Recreation Centre last Friday night. Sale of draw and admission tickets netted almoét $1.500 for the Weston-Mount Dennis Rotary Club and the Weston Collegiate and Vocational School, and students at the school will benefit materially from this money during the coming year, as it will be used to purchase athletic_equip- ment for them. trf 2am" With the crime wave that has been very . ental throughout the metropolitan area during the past year, the we th has been done by the Weston police is to be commended. They ha orked under diffi- culties; they have done an excellent job in the protection of the citizens of Weston. A still better job can be done when there is the fullest con- didenee placed in_the men. This confidence canbe created and stim- ulated by the citizens carefully following the details and knowing the absolute facts of the situation. It is suggested that the police committee keep the people well advised along the ietivities of the police force. Poor Weather Fails To Dim Beauty Of Annual Winter lee Carnival There is nothing so detrimental to a municipality, organization or a public service as malicious gossip and reiterating hearsays. It is mar- velous how the story grows with repeated telling. It certainly does magnify the situation. In order to spike. such gossip and mischievous hearsay stories, it is necessary that the citizens of Weston weigh with serious consideration these statements. Analyze the source and nail down the parties spreading such. This will be of the greatest benefit to the police force in Weston at the present time. According to the statement issued by the mayor, authorizeatrr the police committee and council, action has been taken, investigation has been made and the situation thoroughly gone into. This shows the good leadership of those in charge of affairs. The next step is to secure the fullest eo-operation and support ot the citizens in giving every possible aid to those in charge for the development of is highly effective police force.
