Weston‘s _ championship _ Red Feather canvassing organization 4 is back again in action with an fncreased objective. Old Richview United Church Facing Probable Move Soon Celebrates 125th Anniversary The use of the south side of Bellevue Crescent for parking was suggested to Weston‘s offâ€" street parking committee by a delegation of business men at the last meeting of Weston eouncil. Representing a group of business men south of Lawâ€" rence Ave., Bruce Pollard and Clare Coleman said that if a 10 or 12 foot width of the land were secured by the town, beâ€" tween 20 and 25 cars could be parked there by customers. + Mr. Pollard said that they had eome before council on this imatter because they had heard *hat this property would be built ‘on in the future and wanted to ‘puggest that the council take lrction before it was too late.

North YÂ¥ork township council will consider the adoption of a seven ward system for the township at its next meeting. Deputyâ€"Reeve T. Graham gave notice of motion at the regular council meeting last Thursday, September 30th, that he would move the adoption of a seven ward system to be effective for "It is not the intention that eouncil should provide parking space on Main St. for business men," he declared.

In 1953 the zone surpassed its objective by a considerable percentage.

Archer Wallace, M.A., D.D. Church History Ancient records testify that in early settlements in Canada, people lonely for fellowship met together in homes and, un: der capable leadership held serâ€" vices. Into these settlements rode the saddleâ€"back preachers to give encouragement to the worshippers and to hold comâ€" tnunion. The Stonehouse home or one of the Stonehouse homes, for there were several, would be such a place, the church‘s his torians declare. About the year 1829 a preacher rode from Norâ€" val to York preaching along his route and it is thought that one (Continued on Page 11) Some $3,500 has been reported received to date in the current campaign for funds by the Wesâ€" ton branch of the Victorian Orâ€" (Continued on page 7) incinerator to the trucking company for the purpose of parking its trucks.

In addition all teams have been turned into 12â€"member units. Councillor Rowntree objected on the grounds that the comâ€" mittee had been promised a reâ€" Because the area is growing so rapidly, Mrs. Moffat considâ€" ers a similar increase in the size of the organization will be necessary next year. "If we are to do a thorough job, I think we‘ll need at least 100 extra canvassers again next year," she said. One area in the zone will be canvassed by the "blitz" methâ€" od, Mrs. W. L. Patterson, secreâ€" tary of the zone declared. "A group of young married women in one section have decided to gather at the YWCA for a potâ€" luck supper and then blitz three or four streets between 6.30 and 7.30p.m. The husbands of this group will babyâ€"sit."

Inside, a new water cooler is demonstrated by Lion Harold Stonchouse left to fellow member Wes Boddington. Other work includes the constructiqn of a second floor above the lobby and offices in the front of the arena and a permastone front and new canopy for the ground floor. On the outside, work has been going on all this summer on preparing, levelling and reseeding the turf at the Recreation Centre. Some of these working on this project are shown at right: Douglas Campbell, left, Clare Coleman, Bill Stonehouse, seated on tractor, Wes Boddington and Harold Stonehouse. Photo by Gesttrey Â¥raser port from the superintendent, R. J. Weir stating whether or not the department had need of the lots. In discussion, it was revealed that Mr. Weir had noâ€" tified the chairman of the works committee, Councillior Gordon Moore, verbally that the arâ€" rangement would be alright with his department, providing Wood‘s moved the pile of stone for them. The Weston Recreation Centre is undergoing a faceâ€"lifting right now â€" both the grounds and the arena, that is During the summer the grounds have changed considerably in appearâ€" ance and now grass seed of a high grade has been sown on the new level field which will be used next year for a wider variety of sports than has been possible before. The arena it self is receiving a new "face" of permaâ€"stone and a second storey is being built onto the lobby and offices to provide exâ€" tra room. Councillor Rowsntree contendâ€" ed that the property committee had not given approval to the proposal. He told the Times and Guide after the close of the meeting that he was surprised that the works committee had not objected to it. He declared that if the lot was not needed by the town, then it should be put up for rent or for sale by the municipality so that everyâ€" one would have an opportunity to secure it. "It was the best opportunity yet to air the dissatisfaction at TTC policies," Mayor Seagrave told Weston council, speaking of the debate before Metro council last week on his motion to have the TTC answerable to the Onâ€" tario Municipal Board. "But following Chairman Gardiner‘s words, I felt it advantageous to us and to others if we held fire for a while. The motion was never thrown out so that it can be brought in shortly if it is found desirable." Councilior Perry stated that he thought, that Westom â€"should be commended for spearheading this move and that the mayor personally should be commendâ€" ed for the way he presented the case "It still seems to me that the suburban municipalities are beâ€" ing given the polite brush off, however," declared the councilâ€" &’ is : e ' * f, f and (Buide The grounds committee of the club, under chairman Wes Bodâ€" dington, first sought a capable man to advise them and to help them with the project and they found that man in Carl Wagâ€" ner, . superintendent of â€" the Lambton Golf Course and an exâ€" pert on turf. Carl laid down a procedure for the project which involved the grading, levelling, preparaâ€" tion of seed bed, and the plantâ€" ing of a. very good mixture of grass seed. The committee at first tried to burn off all the growth last May but this was unsuccessful and instead a Roman plough was used to dig it up. Afterâ€" wardsâ€"a "carryall" was used in the job of raising the level of the southâ€"east corner of the field. This corner had to be raised about two feet to level off the field. Later 40 loads of good top soil were spread over the whole field. The grounds project was an idea "hatched" about a year ago and given the approval of the board of directors of the West: on Lions club last March, Loaned equipment and volun: teer help played a large part in the project. A tractor loaned by Harold Stonehouse and opâ€" erated by his son, Bill, helped in the discing, harrowing _ and dragging operations which folâ€" lowed. Another tractor, lozned for the purpose by Peter Atustin was used for levelling off the smaller depressions. Finally, Mr. Wagner came over a week ago last weekâ€"end "WEST YORK‘S NEWSY WEEKLY" HISTORIC CHURCH PLANS EXPANSION with a crew from the golf course and operated the course‘s fertilizer spreader over the field of the recreation centre. On the Monday, the field was seeded thanks to the loan of a special seeder by Jim Brown. Triple Size Of Historic St. Philip‘s Chure Students at the Weston Colâ€" legiate and Vocational school are helping the project, too. Jerry McLean, drafting teacher at W.C.V.S. brought a group of students down one day recentâ€" ly and these students are now preparing scale drawings of the field and of all the dimensions for the sporting fields and diaâ€" monds. Using these drawings, the committee will decide what they would consider the best layout of the land for the variâ€" ous sports.
