The Mutual Life of Canada is pleased to announce that Mr. Hugh Bailey of its New Toâ€" ronto Branch has qualified for membership in the M L C Proâ€" duction Club. Membership in this group it attained only through the underwriting of a large volume of protection, which continues in force from year to year, and the mainâ€" tenance of a high personal standard of confidential servâ€" ice to policyholders. 1 _ Harold A. Miller, LRSM _ | Robin Hood stoie from the rich and gave to the poor. Sigmund Romberg, the writer of musical shows, stole from Schubert and other composers and gave to all who wanted it. Victor have issued & 10 inch LP, LMâ€"93, called "Gems from Sigmund Romberg Shows." The featured numbers come from ‘"The Student Prince," ‘May Wine" and "Upâ€"in Central Park," and the singers include Jean Carlton, Stuart Churchill and the Robert Shaw Chorale. Accompaniâ€" ments are by Romberg‘s own orâ€" chestra. There is a gay spontaneity and clarity to both the music and recovding that should seem egreeâ€" able even to "longâ€"hair" listeners. Excellent summer fare. Even better summer (and winâ€" ter) fare is the Boston Pops‘ issue "In the Latin Flavor," which colors up the old favorites "La Paloma," "Malaguena," â€" "La â€" Cumparsita," "Jalousie," "Carioca," etc. The arâ€" ranging is not too "classical" but has exceedingly bright orchestraâ€" tion. Victor LMâ€"162. Two new Heifetz recordings will appeal to all lovers of the violin. A 12 inch LP gives 16 of his most popular encoresâ€"things like Schuâ€" bert‘s Ave Maria, two Bach Gaâ€" vottes, some Mendelssohn, Debusâ€" sey, etc. The 16 numbers cover a lot of territory. Piano accompaniâ€" ments are by Heifetz‘ modest shadow, Emanuel Bay. This is Victor LMâ€"1166. The other Heifetz disc is a 10 inch LP, Victor LMâ€"163. It features four heavy virtuoso items, all with the RCA Symphony Orchestra. Waxman‘s Fantasie on Themes from Carmen is as vivid as the violin can get. The Havanaise and the Rondo Capriccioso of Saintâ€" Saens have their brilliace temperâ€" ed by the composer‘s maturity, a musicianship that rose above a mere display of the violin. These two discs give a very good sample of Heifetz wizardry and are supâ€" erbly engineered. The final item is the Gypsy Airs of Sarasate, music that would lose all its meaning if divorced from the violin. Arthur Rubinstein has recorded the Polonaises of Chopin in two LP‘s, The first one has been reâ€" leased in Canada, Victor LMâ€"1205, with six samples including the Military Polanaise. His technique is a bit taxed in such things as left hand trills. But while a Horoâ€" witz would be more dazzling, Rubâ€" instein is a better servant of the composer. Each player has a place and usually keeps it. This disc is more than adequate. VISITORS FROM BRITAIN Lt.â€"Col. Philip Johnson, chairâ€" man and managing director of a British firm selling halfâ€"track equipment for tractors in 90 counâ€" tries, leaves Britain this fall for & business tour of Canada. Colonel Johnson plans to visit Montreal, ‘Toronto, Windsor, Winnipeg, Sasâ€" katoon, Calgary, Vancouver, Edâ€" monton, Regina and Ottawa and attend the International Ploughing Match at Carp, Ontario. Australia was formerly called New Holland.

After the sing song, the committee previously mentioned, were assistâ€" ed by Mrs. Boultbee, Mrs. Borrow a~ 4 Mrs. Thompson. Mrs. Petrie served the refreshments of hot dogs and trimmings and freshic. After the awards for attendance were given out, a lucky draw was battlefield an international centre where Canadians and Americans meet as friends and neighbours, at an annual exhibition which has beâ€" come the largest in the world. The centennial celebration in 1934 of Toronto‘s incorporation as a city was made ingernationally memorâ€" able by the ttum by the United States government of the mace taken in 1813. Continued from page 1â€" The main battleground of 1813 is the area of the whitewashed log eabin of John Scadding and the Fort Rouille obelisk. This cabin is Toronto‘s oldest habitation and is maintained by the York Pioneer and Historical Society as a muâ€" seum. Throughout the Exhibition period the cabin is open and visitâ€" ors are welcome. This cabin was erected in 1794 by John Scadding on his Crown grant of land on the east side of the Don south of Gerâ€" rard Street. Scadding was then unmarried. He came to Upper Canada in 1792 with John Graves Simcoe, the first lieutenant goverâ€" nor of the newly created proâ€" vince. The log cabin, that it might be preserved, was removed to the Canadian National Exhibiâ€" tion grounds in 1879 by the York Pioneers, as the Society was then known, in association with the directorate of the Industrial Exâ€" hibition Association of Toronto, as the C.N.E. was then known. Continued from page 1â€" Swimming â€" Pool, children went swimming and had a grand time. On Wednesday Fay Brundage took a group of children between the ages of 5 and 6 to the Fire Hall and had an enjoyable time. All of the children are going to be fireâ€" men now, even the girls. The older children did glass painting which was something new to almost everyone. It is hoped that everyâ€" one enjoyed themselves fully at B .4 â€" Merrill Playground this Summer, and will be back next year. If they had as much fun as the Supervisors, they had a marâ€" vellous time. Boydâ€"Merrill at this time thanks the following for donations received: Dellers Drug Store, aJneâ€"Way Hardware, Gilâ€" more‘s Hardware, Swards‘ Drug Store, Meisor‘s Super Market and t‘: A.& P Store on Jane Street, also to Mr. Boles, President and Mrs. Jones, secretary of the Boydâ€" Merrill Neighbourhood Group and their very active committee. Dennison Playground This elosing weekâ€"at the playâ€" ground has been very busy. It was pleasing to see the number of chilâ€" dren who passed their Red Cross Swimming Test. They deserve congratulations. Between practisâ€" ing their parts for their Act on Friday night and preparing the grounds for the Weiner Roast, the children were as busy as bees. They would like to thank Mr. Shorney for supplying the wood for the fire, it was appreciated. On Friday night, they had their annual closing night with a grand Weiner Roast. Everyone had their fill of hot dogs, marshmallows, freshie, and each child received a balloon. Tom Bunda and Peter Brooks were awarded the prizes for the best atâ€" tendance. Mr. Cadwalder provided movies, which were enjoyed very much. Children were grateful to Mac Hayes for coming and helping with the Sing Song. Thanks are due to Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Moore, Mrs. Arnot, Mrs. Wage and Mrs. Harris for their wonderful help. A good time was had by all! It has been a grand summer for everyone. Elm Playground Elm Park has been the scene of considerable activity. During this week, children have made Indian dresses from cleaner bags, pipe cleaner figures, scenery in boxes and coloured paper plates. On Friday morning a cleanâ€"up camâ€"~ paign started by cleaning up their shelter and tables. In the afterâ€" noon they cleaned up the playâ€" ground for the Weiner Roast, which was held during the evening. Recreation staff would like to thank Mirs. Moore and Mrs. Coultâ€" hard for cooxing the hot dogs, Mrs. Pike, helping to serve, Mr. Calhoun and Mr. Longstaff for gathering wood and making the fire place, also the Parkside Market for hclping, Mrs. Vinebran and Mrs. Boake for door prizes. They comâ€" menced their Closing Night festiviâ€" Corn And Weiner 1909. "He would claim her as his bride ere the morrow‘s sun was midway in the heavens," wrote the author of 1909 Times and Guide serial story, Maude De Vere, the rather unlikely name of a lady. But unlikely or not, the stories of those days had an appeal all their own for which one can only find words like "thundering," "blood curdling", and "gripping". And if the villians seem to us now to have gnashed their teeth and twirled their waxed moustaches too often, and if the heroines seem all too often to have slipped into a conâ€" venient swoon, and even if we canâ€" not forgive the heroes who flew to their swords all the while, we can still be a little bit spellbound by these old time flights into fancy, if not convinced by them. Perhaps we have missed a lot of fun in not seeing plays similar to "Murder in the Red Barn," become a little prosaic about damsels strung up on railway lines, and maybe it takes rather too much to move our imâ€" agination these days. However, even while people of 1909 read these type of stories, conventional life was still proceeding to pattern the civilization we know today. In 1909 taxi cabs were beginning to come into their own, and adverts were printed offering shares at $6.00 each for investment in taxi cab enterprises. Incidentally, Toâ€" ronto was the first city in Canada to install a taxi cab service. But taxis were still a comparitively new thing in the year 1909 as notice of horse sales and adverts for sleighs shows. Gramophones were fitted with long trumpetsâ€"then the latest means of carrying sound and no doubt all the more wonderful beâ€" cause they replaced the cylinder records. Thanks are in order for the grand summer and special thanks to Mr. J. McLeod and his committee of the Neighbourhood Group for their splendid coâ€"operation that has made this playground such a success. It is clear that the chilâ€" C.en have enjoyed themselves, beâ€" cause of their repeated attendance. They look forward to being with you next year. "_anedy, 10. Joan Guy, 11. Ruby McBratney, 12.

Monday morning saw 15 children travel to Pelmo Park Pool for their swimming lessons. Then the tickets for our Lucky Neighâ€" bourhood Group Draw started sellâ€" ing on Monday afternoon. The children disposed of over 800 tickets during the week. Tuesday was also & very busy day with the children preparing their carriages and bicycles for the coming parade. On Wednesday they held a Decoraâ€" tion Day and Parade for the fancy decorated. carriages and bicycles and declared 6 Winners. Thursday morning and afternoon was busy with the last minute preâ€" rorations for the weiner roast on Thursday evening. The weiner roast was a tremenâ€" dous success with well over 100 marents and children attending. A fish pond held many prizes for the children, whilst the parents became acquainted, by having a singâ€"song around the fire. After the pop and hot dogs were served, the lucky draw was held.

Snaps have now supplemented the "family" photograph. Money was tight in 1920 and the Great War Veteran‘s Assoc. were keeping up with the fashion of things going up, up and up when they organized aeroplane trips for Weston residents. Although food and coal was expensive, houses were fairly cheap. A six roomed frame house with electric light, and concrete foundation cellar sold for $800. Free film shows for children were held on Saturday‘s at the Mavety Theatre, and many busiâ€" nesses were trying to promote custom by giving away articles. 1931â€"32.

Plans for a new Central United Church had been submitted in April, 1932 and the church went all out on a drive to raise funds for building. ' The one millionth car manufacâ€" tured by Ford was on show in Weston, and in 1932 you could buy a brand new Ford Town sedan for $755. On the front page of the Times and Guide was a picture of a Comâ€" munist demonstration staged in New Yor{,n A crowd protesting against deportation of Chinese student, Tao Li, were shown to be in a scrimmage with police. 1942. The Times and Guide reâ€" flected for the most part the thought uppermost in most people‘s minds when almost every page was devoted to war news. Weston‘s uniâ€" formed men were photographed, A.R.P. facilities were reviewed, and there were reports of how the War Victims Fund was progressing, and in all, nearly every page was deâ€" voted to war news. But you may remember other events of 1942 which were not connected with the war. The first 1942 baby was born to a Woodbridge couple one minute after midnight. The baby‘s name was Ann Willeen Blake. And could anyone forget the terrible flood which came with the severe winter of 1942. Constant rain had caused the Humber river to burst its banks and a picture shows that the section of the highway between Weston and Thistletown was comâ€" pletely under water, Weston Fireâ€" men and workers of the Massey Harris Co. were kept busy rescuâ€" ing persons from their flooded homes in Albion Park. All traffic on roads to Brampton and Woodâ€" bridge was halted. During that same severe winter the machine used for cutting ice at the Humber river at Woodbridge was reported to be the best in five years.

WES WESTON or BIL L‘S BODDINGTON The main function of a Supply Depot is to obtain, store and issue supplies to RCAF units as quickly as possible to enable such units to operate with the efficiency that is demanded of them by Air Force Headquarters. ‘Therefore the Deâ€" pot‘s job is to "Produce". In order that this job may be done on time, and in time, many skilled tradesmen are required. These personnel attend a school that goes under the termination. "Trade Advancement", at which they are given instruction in their various trades and are prepared for higher trade groupings. There are three groupings in the majority of Air Force trades, 1, 2 and 3. Group 1 is normally given on graduation from a basic course during the initial training period and one year must elapse before the airman is eligible to write exams to advance to the next higher grouping. In order to assist the airmen to progress, lectures are given to classes by competent senior tradesâ€" men, periodical tests are given to check on progress being made with special attention being given to those who do not seem to be able to grasp any given subject. Home study subjects are allotted for preparation by class groups, or syndicates, for presentation the following week in class. Films are shown periodically on subjects pertaining to the trade or closely allied trades such as Fire Fighting and Fire Prevention, First Aid, and subjects with which all airmen are to be familiar. Reference and Technical libraâ€" ries are maintained in the Trade Advancement Classroom by the Trade Advancement and Education Officer, and these are open daily for the issuing of books, precis, etc. to interested personnel.
