We Deliver ller the Blind, which for thirty years has,been helping those who lose their sight to overcome their handicap, knows well the importâ€" ance of providing facilities for play as well as work. Last summer the Institute, in conjunction with the Canadian Council of the Blind, emâ€" barked on a new urvlcci’vcntuu. a summer camp. The Hamilton Lions‘ Club Camp at Ancaster, Ontario, was rented for a tenâ€"day period in August and the seventy blind people who attended call it one of the best holidays of their lives.

DENNIS DAY, JUNE 4, is the date; and FORT YORK ARMOURY, on the lakeshore just east of the Princes‘ Gate, Canadian National Exhibition Grounds, is the place. Games and countless other forms of entertainâ€" ment will be provided. There will be dancing and there will be reâ€" freshments. But that‘s not allâ€" not by a store room full of prizes. In aid of regimental welfare work there will be a Lucky Draw, sponâ€" sored by the Ladies Auxiliary. Prizes? Well, sure: prizes galore. Just to mention a few of the outstanding ones: Radios, Electrical Appliances for Happy Homes and More Comfortable Living, Royal Deluxe Portable Typewriter, a Chest of Silver, a Sheffield Salver and a â€"but why fill up a column of inventory of the stuff? Come on down and help us get rid of it. Draw Tickets (which will admit you to Ranger Night at no extra cost) may be obtained from the Queen‘s York Rangers ‘Orderly Room, Fort York, or from any member of the Regiment. If you don‘t get a ticket in advance come on down anyway: they will be lon sale at the door. Residents of Eire who emigrated last year totalled 81,935, the imâ€" migration minister said. Of these 49,824 went to North America and 30,290 to Britain. Two events are approaching which will give the Regiment an opportunity of playing host to the general public: Army Week (in May) and Ranger Night (in June). For most of the year the Regiment works at its appointed tasks at Fort York Armoury, Toronto, and at the Aurora Armoury, with very little public recognition, But now, at the climax of a season‘s trainâ€" ing, the citizens of York County are to be given two opportunities of seeing their own County Regiâ€" ment in action. Two very distinctly different types of action, at that! First, serious work: training to be prepared ~ for any â€" emergency. ARMY WEEK will be the occasion for open house at all Army units and establishments right across Canada, The Queen‘s Yorks will have a display well worth seeing. Details of Army Week Programme will be announced shortly. After work comes play, And the Queen‘s Yorks know how to have a good time too, ‘The monthly Sports Nights and other recreational actiâ€" vities are, naturally, private affairs but the plan is to close the winter‘s recreational programme with a monster fun night which will be open to all, Come and have fun as guests of the regiment. RANGER NIGHT is the occasion; SATURâ€" _ It is because of the generous supâ€" port of the public that such new services can be undertaken by the C.N.LB. and that its present work can continue. Your dollars help to make a holiday like this possible for the blind people who live in Greater Toronto. Your dollars help to maintain all the services which the C.N.LB. offers© to make life more than subsistence for the thousands of Canadians who cannot see. The Institute‘s annual fundâ€" raising campaign conducted by the Toronto Women‘s Auxiliary is takâ€" ing place now and lasts until May Tth. This is your opportunity to share in its work by contributing your share of the $175,000 obâ€" jective. Even the daily chores like makâ€" ing beds, tidying cabins and washâ€" ing dishes, seemed fun at camp, and the permanent sighted staff were quite astonished at the effiâ€" ciency of the sightless group of campers. el Telephone WESTON YORK RANGERS QUEEN‘S it ladies? To date we have one full senior team and another partially manned. WE NEED MORE SENIORS! All registrations are kept in the utmost secrecy so you don‘t have to worry about anyâ€" one finding out how old you are. As regards to your ability? Forget about it. This is not a professional leagueâ€"â€"nor even nearâ€"professional. The proposed Ladies‘ Softball League is moving ahead quite smoothly, except for one thingâ€" there seems to be a dearth of softâ€" ball enthusiasts over the age of 17. Whether the gals just don‘t want to admit their age, or whether they just don‘t think they‘re "good enough" to playâ€"who knows. One thing we‘re sure of, they‘re not registering for softball. How about _ Up to this year, Weston had the sweetest farm setâ€"up that could ever be hoped for, and if it conâ€" tinues in the same manner, in about two or three years the senior club won‘t have to go outside the Weston boundaries to get their men. At present that‘s what, the new Weston Lacrosse Club is working toward, but to date we have had no definite report on minor lacrosse in the town. This is something that will definitely have to be continued if senior lacrosse is to thrive. Community Council leagues give the lads 8 to 15 their first training, and it is just about the best to be had. The minor midget, bantam, juvenile and junior teams are where future lacrosse greats are bornâ€"they‘re the boys that will make up the nucleus of 1952â€"53â€"54 senior teams. _ In regard to St. Catharinesâ€"it will be one of the best things that ‘ever happenedâ€"to â€" their â€" junior players. Apparently youngsters in that city don‘t get much of a chance in the senior loop, but now, with St. Kitts having six men susâ€" pended for playing in the USA, they will have to be replaced, and the logical people are their upâ€"andâ€" coming Juniors or Intermediates. Diamond Data ‘ Last Saturday‘s OLA meeting brought one point out that is worth mentioning and commenting upon. Players won‘t be free agents at the end of every regular season, like St. Catharines hoped;â€"it was thumbs down on the proposal. There are no good and bad angles on this proposition. It will help the smaller, notâ€"soâ€"rich clubs hold onto the players they have trained, even though another club may offer a player more money. But on the other hand, if a player is held against his will, will he play his best lacrosse? That‘s a good quesâ€" tion, and the answer depends entirely on the player involved. If he‘s in there not‘only for money, but also because of the love of the game, he‘ll turn in a sound perâ€" formance. But then if he has notions of being a highlyâ€"paid proâ€" fessional in a soâ€"called amateur league his owners might just as well let him go. Continued from page 6â€" Does anybody know where I can buy a golf club, and I don‘t mean a No. 5 iron either. It goes on to say there are 250,000 golfers, good, bad and awful in Canada. At last, I‘ve found out why it takes me 25 minutes to plough my way through the masses on a Sunday (afterâ€" noon), just to tee off. It‘s a wonâ€" derful game thoughâ€"I‘ll swear by it (and swear at it), anytime. Me.

Tenders for a three ton motor truck were opened by council and sent to the Works Dept. for their recommpndation, A communication from F. J. Bridgman requested the extension of the limit of the byâ€"law prohibitâ€" ing slaughter houses in the town so that he might havextime to find a proper location. I%‘pm‘nted out that those affected had already been given three months from the passing of the byâ€"law to the date it becomes effectiveâ€"May 1. The Reeve stated that the Board of Health demands action and that the length of time already allowed was sufficient. A motion by Counâ€" cillor Holley to extend the effect date of the bylaw 60 days, seconded by the Deputy Reeve, was lost when put to the vote when only supported by Councillor Petrie and the movers. Roads and Works The Weston‘ council considered tenders for an air compressor and for road ciling and accepted the tenders of G. W. Corruthers and Ellins Construction respectively. In the debate before the acceptance, Councillor Weir urged that it not be a matter of choséng between the two items but that both pieces of equipment were badly needed and would soon pay for themselves. Mayor Thompson said that the Weston Junior hockey team which had won the provincial championâ€" hip this year. were worthy of recognition by the town. "This team has brought honour to the town and good publicity which is something unusual recently, and deserve recognition." The council set up a special committee to arrange for a suitable presentation to the members of the team and the coaches, to be made at the banquet which is being given for the team by the Weston Business Men‘s Association. The committee was to be composed of the Mayor, Deputy Reeve Seagrave, and Counâ€" cillor Thornton. Slaughter Houses T Councillor Weir, chairman of the Police and Fire Committee, recomâ€" mended that the townships of ‘Etobicoke and North York should ‘be approached with regard to inâ€" creasing the charge to them for the services of the Weston Brigade. At the present time, the townships pay the brigade $30 per call, and the councillor suggested that the fee be raised to $60 and that 50% would go to the town and 50% to the brigade. «Mr. Weir stated that the fee had always been on the Jow side and that with increasing costs for fire protection in the town, with special regard to the new fire hall and possible new equipment, the new figure would not be out of line. The mayor recommended the move and the council voted to apâ€" proach the townships with the matter.
