YOLUME 60, NUMBER 17 Weston council decided to tread easy on the toes of local industry last Monday night when no furâ€" ther action was taken regarding a local wood products firm about which complaints had been lodged. A byâ€"law had been made available to the council which would have reâ€" quired that industries bordering on residential areas haye adequate sound: proofing for noisy machinâ€" ery, have proper dustâ€"proofing methods, and have restricted hours of operations. The byâ€"law, which is almost identical with one in force in the city of Toronto, was not seriously considered by council and the matter was dropped when the communication regarding the dismissal by magistrate‘s court of a charge against Eadie Wood Products under the present antiâ€" noise byâ€"law was "received and filed."

A very active committee under the. general chairmanship of Mrs. K. Allatt had arranged for all the displays. Responsibility for the disâ€" plays of the Weston Recreation Commission‘s Craft classes had been placed with Mrs. I. Hanna. Mrs. D. Payne had convened the General Exhibits section, which comprised entries from individuals and organizations. Mr. S. Hill, of Senior Public School, was the genâ€" ieral convener for the school exâ€" hibits, while Mrs. Dunn was in charge of the Clovelly Craft Comâ€" petition details. The main Sunday School audiâ€" torium was turned over to the craft classes of the Commission, and showed a great variety of work which had been accomplished. Exhibits of pottery, sewing, woodâ€" carving, leather carving and toolâ€" ing, smocking, sugarcraft, weaving and art offered a challenge to the wouldâ€"be hobbyist, while the Wesâ€" ton Rod and Gun Club eptry apâ€" pealed especially to the men folk and drew a constant circle of inâ€" terested spectators to watch a flyâ€" tieing demonstration. A big drawing card was the disâ€" play of polished stones exhibited by Mr. Bruce Metcalfe.

These field working shops are kept in touch with the head office by radio. Thus the most complete system to handle the smallest detail or complaint is now working smoothly. This is a real achievement for the people of Ontario as it is the people‘s own project. â€" â€" After the cut in at the station the party made a tour of the 453 acres of Hydro equipment and central control for this western district, Kippling Ave., Etobicoke. In the conversion section here there are over 800 employees and thousands . of dollars worth of equipment under one roof, Those making the tour were amazed at the amount of detail handled with such efficiency a nd despatch. Citizens of Ontario can well point with pride to the accomplishments and efficiency of their Hydro Electric System. If you have the opportunity to tour the plant do ‘not turn it down. a One of the impoftant factors to be remembered when the change over is being made in your district is give all details. If you miss one item of equipment when the survey is made it means delay for you. If you buy a new piece of equipment and the survey has been made, send word to the Hydro department imâ€" mediately.

Reach 60% Red Cross Objective In Local Drive About 60% of the Weston obâ€" jective for the Canadian Red Cross campaign has been obtained so far, reports K. L. Thompson, chairman of the Weston Red Cross campaign. Contributions are conâ€" tinuing to come in, he states, and it is hoped that with a final effort on the part of the citizens and canâ€" vassers, the objective is reached. . Certainly the objective would be reached if every adult had the fine enthusiasm shown by a couple of Weston boys in a recent enterâ€" prise. Barry Reynolds and John Griffith had the idea that they would hold a show to raise money for the Red Cross and their paâ€" rents agreed to the idea. The two boys went and bought ‘pop‘, and jelly beans which they planned to sell at the movie. Many of the neighbourhood. children came to the movie and all were charged admission. The movie, held on Thursday, March 29th at the home of Barry Reynolds, 57 Boyd Ave. made a total of $3.50 for the Red Cross and this was turned oven in person to. Mr. Thompson by the boys.

Move Grade Six Pupils To Sr. School In Fall It is planned to move grade six. classes from both King Street and Memorial schools in September to the new Senior Public School, it was revealed at the last meeting of the Board of Edueation. Alâ€" though this would mean an addiâ€" tional 93 pupils approximately, this number will be largely offset by the plan to refuse admission to nonâ€" residents of the town to the Weston Public School. _ At the present time, according to Principal A. G, Gilâ€" lespie, there are mbout 88 nonâ€" resident pupils attending . the Senior school. Most of these are from the township of North York.

The battle for Vimy Ridge was notable for the fact that this was the first time Canadian troops fought as a Canadian Corps and under a Canadian leader, namely General Sir Arthur Currie. It was also the occasion of the most inâ€" tense artillery barrage of all times. the number of guns engaged and weight of shells fired exceeding any barrage of any single engageâ€" ment in either of the two World Wars. Many months of preparation: preceded the carefully planned assault on this great natural featâ€" ure which towered over the valley of Sauchez and stretched for miles: across the French countryside givâ€" ing the Germans a commanding view of territory occupied by Allied troops and presenting an abstacle to any advance on that front.
