J 125th Anniversary Of St. Philip’s Etobieoke Reached This Sunday Our columnist TN (Touring Xotes) dropped in the other day with a Fort Myers, Florida, paper. Seems the nice things he had to say about their town made the front page. Well at least our paper got a mention. A recent release from the De- partment of Labor, emphasizes the downward trend in apprenticeship. It is estimated that Canadian in- dustry needs at least 30,000 apprentices right now. There are only 11,000 young men registered and serving their apprenticeship in designated trades--too few to meet present needs, much less satisfy future demands.

PHILIP'S ANGLICAN 125 ANNIVERSARY can our tho see the ttt On Sunday, June 14, 1953, historic St. Philip's Etobicoke (Weston) adds another chapter to the story ’of the years and cele- brates its 125th anniversary. The early history of the church l, is bound up with the beginnings of Weston. In those days the village was mainly situated on the west bank of the Humber, and in 1828, the early settlers built the first church up on the hill on the Eto- bicoke side of the river-the same unrivalled site on which the prev ent building stands today. The original church was a frame build- ing, having at the entrance a bell tower and a gallery in which were the organ and choir stalls. Each pew owner was asked to buy the land on Iwhich his pew stood, and pew rent was paid for some time as a means of raising money. No records are available until 1831 when Dr. Thomas Phillips, one- time vice-principal of Upper Cam ada College, became the first incumbent. 'n1optltly Meeting Dr. Phillipa, a graduate of Queen’s College, Cambridge, came out to Canada to take charge of the Old York Grammar School. He was for some years chaplain to the Legislative Assembly and “as a matter of course, preached at times in St. James' Cathedral." An excerpt taken from "Toronto of Old" by Dr. Henry Scadding and referring to Dr. Phillips says, "He was a venerable looking man, the very ideal outwardly of an English country parson of the old type-- shovel hat included, and one of the last wearers of hair powder in these parts." He must also have been a prodigious worker, for the records show that it was usual for him to have 3. Confirmation Class of forty every year and in the sixteen years that he ministered in this parish, he baptized, married and buried about three thousand people. He died in 1849, and his grave is under the communion table in the present church. On the afternoon of Monday June lat, the pupils and staff of Ridgo Road Public School celebrat- ed the coronation of Queen Eliza- beth the Second with a great field day. The celebrations were begun with the gouging of the national anthem followed by the prinripal's message given by Mr. N. W. Mr- anoll. Mrs. Hudson's kinder- garten clans entertained the large Looking down through the years, the name of the Rev. W. A. Johnson, DD, stands out from that pioneer background.

Roy Thomson, Conservative can- didate in York'Centre and describ, ed as the "moat easily Iceessibla" tigure in Canadian business, ha: entered the Dominion election campaign with the same enthu- siasm which has brought hun suc- teas in so many other ventures. Mr. Thomson has said, that political success requires some- thing more than winning a seat in the House of Commons. The real resting time would come after that, when he would be given an opportunity to bring to bear his experience in organization and operation. The York Centre candidate gain- ed this 'experience through hard work and wise planning. He left school at the age of 14 to take a job at a few dollars a week. Today he is head of the largest group of Canadian daily newspapers, reach- ing from Vancouver in the west to Quebec City in th east. These newspapers, coupled with other business interests, keep him in di- rect contact with at least 20 Cana- dian communities, large and small, Mr. Thomson's interestsfhow.. ever, extend far beyond his own personal affairs. Much of his working day is devoted to public service and he his so organized his business as to permit giving of his time to affairs of others. As eo-chairman of the National Council of Christians and Jews, he has been singled out for recogni- tion for his contribution to Cana- dian unity and the furtherance of better understanding, between ra- cial and religious groups. In another field of public an- deavoui', Mr. Thomson is president of the Canadian Press, a co-oper- ative news gathering agency which serves practically every daily newspaper in Canada. Thus, his private and public duties require that he keep in touch with the peo- ple and understand their needs and wishes. He has never abused the col. lective power that might be wield- ed by the owner of I large group of newspapers. He has always in- sisted on local autonomy for each Plans To Eliminate Bailway Crossings Will Be Discussed Bell Telephone Will Issue New Style Directory The white pages will be divided into three alphabetical Beetiomr-, one for each exchange.

The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. C. F.

Mr. Evans has been on the staff of the Canadian Bank of Commerce for over 40 years at several branches and for the last 22 years at the head office of the bank from which he has recently retired. Couple Will Move, Town clerk, George Clarkson was appointed representative of town council for a joint meeting of the Board of Transport Com.. missioners for Canada and muni.. cipal representatives to discuss the problem of railway crossings in the municipalities of Toronto and area. The meeting will be held on Monday, June 15. Mr. Clarkson's appointment came during the last session of council after an invitation from Fred Gardiner, metropolitan coun- cil chairman had been extended to Weston council to attend the meeting. The meeting is to be held in conjunction with the possibility of removing all main-line level cross- ings in the metropolitan area. The construction of underpasses or overpasses to meet this problem has been advocated by the Metro- politan Toronto works commission. Of particular interest to Weston residents are the six crossing! in this area-at Dennison, Lawrence, John, King, Church and Oak. And the most dangerous of all is the one at Lawrence. According to Mr. Gardiner there are six dangerous crossings in the metropolitan area. In a recent statement, he pointed out, "People are being killed quite regularly at the Lawrence Ave. crossing near Weston." The coat of an overpass or underpgu. said Leslie Saunders, works committee chairman. is about $1,000,000. The federal gov emment contributes 40 per com of the first 8150.000.
