Coloured lights have been strung along the top of three sides of the muâ€" nicipal building and lights have also been strung around the two large trees in front of the hall. Merchants in Weston, or the majority of ‘them, have suitably decorated their windows and the insides of their stores so that they are in tune with the festive season. Weston hometowners have been busily decorating, tooâ€"pine trees, candles, wreathes, stars, and Santa Clauses. Weston merchants were warnâ€" ed not to cash cheques for un< known persons without making an investigation, in a letter cirâ€" culated by Police Chief A. Webâ€" ster. The note read as follows; "You are reminded to be parâ€" ticularly careful at this season of the year in cashing cheques for unknown persons, even though the person produces what appears to be bona fide credenâ€" tials.

Ermno asked a group of childâ€" ren to come up on the stage, he handed them each an instruâ€" ment and appointed a tiny little chap to be the band leader. All were amazed at the band he produced. They played Jingle Bells and other Christmas carâ€" ols and then toured the audiâ€" torium like little soldiers. Erno asked three little girls to sing while the band accompanied them and when they finished, the applause was loud and long. It was something to see the eyes of a little boy or girl widen in #Wonder as he said, "Look Mommy, look at the Rabbits and Candy Canes." There were pale blue bunny rabbits with fluffy white tails (really Yvonne Shorter and Cathy Mason), and candy canes (in the persons of Heather White and Betty Golding) and four tall and lovely girls (Joan Turâ€" ner, Lila Bruner, Vickie Bobyk and Irene Inderlens), obviously Santa‘s helpers, in red and white striped dresses with a red velâ€" vet cap trimmed in white fur. Next in the programme came the troubadours, two of Moffats talented employees, Larry Colâ€" iero and Herb Andrus.« They gave a very good show }l the accordians. These two boys enâ€" tertained at the Moffat Summer Picnic too. (Continued from Page 1) theâ€"scenes workers. The childâ€" ren were scrubbed and shining, the boys in their best bib and tuckers and the girls in silks and organdys. The babies and small children took everything in with large eyes full of wonâ€" der, the others arrived with their eyes sparkling, ready for fun and entertainment, and best of all, for the gifts Santa would be handing out. Some of our Weston boys sang for us and they were very, very good. They were Paul and Gary Seagrave, Jack Gilmout, Dave Watts and Doug Heathâ€" field. The children gave them all their attention and the adults present thought they were terrâ€" ific. Next came a Dog and Monkey act and this nearly brought the house down. _ There were six dogs and a little tiny monkey in a red suit.. One of the dogs pushed another around the stage in a doll‘s carriage. He walked across the stage on his hind legs and then on his front legs. He jumped through a hoop. The little monkey did summersaults and handsprings. And the chilâ€" dren clapped and laughed and shouted for more. His home decorations is an outstanding example of the lovely decoration jobs that many homeowners in the Weston area have done this Christmas season. And then the house lights Industries Hold Maintenance of All (Continued from Page 1) fact, been doing this work dur ing the past fall months. Mayor Seagrave cautioned council that they were giving more responsibility to a man who was already "working night and day". He said that if the council followed this policy, they might find it necessary to give some assistance to the director or they might find that the recâ€" reation programme would suffer. Mr. Bruce Metcalfe, of the Weston Collegiate Staff, played carols on the organ while the children sang. The committee‘s purpose in making this delegation of auâ€" thority was theâ€"speeding up of park work,. said Councillor Perâ€" ry, a member of the committee. He said that formerly, because of the works department‘s many jobs and responsibilities, it was oftern not possible to get work done when the recreation direcâ€" tor needed it done. Councillor Moore said that he felt the move was "a stream lining" but that he followed the mayor‘s reasoning. He felt, howâ€" ever, that the maintenance of parks was becoming a bigger problem all the time. all, the presents. Santa had presents for everyone there. The Candy Canes and the blue Bunâ€" nies and his four pretty helpâ€" ers aided Santa with the gifts and gave each one a big bag of candy as well. And after all the gifts were given out, they said Goodâ€"bye to Santa and, tired and happy, watched him disappear behind the stage curtain. "It is only good judgment to let the director get things done when he needs them done," he declared. dimmed, the bright white lights disappeared from the stage. Suddenly the stage was lit with a blue radiance, and right through the nylon curtain, painâ€" ted with a snow scene, could be seen Santa in his big red sleigh, with all his reindeers. The sleigh was loaded with presents and at each end there was a tall green Christmas tree turnâ€" ing round sJawly and lit with all colours ‘of lights and trimâ€" med with silver icicles. Santa climbed out of his sleigh and came around to the front of the stage, down the steps and then the children in the front row were upon him. . After he had talked to them, he went back,:got into his sleigh and then came the best part of \The application of the town for the authority to dispense with a vote of the ratepayers with respect to a proposed capiâ€" tal expenditure of $20,300 for the purchase of the lot for the establishment of a parking lot and the grading, surfacing and draining of said lots; asks for the approval of this undertakâ€" ing, the capital expenditure, and the borrowing by the Metropolâ€" itan council of the sum of $20,â€" 300, repayable over a term not exceeding five years, for such purpose. LIABILITY INSURANCE A recommendation by the A. E. Wilson and Company that the town replace its four public liaâ€" bility insurance policies with a comprehensive | liability policy was explained to council by town clerk George Clarkson, Mr. Clarkson, in answering questions of council, stated that the town would be receiving five times the coverage with an anâ€" nual premium increase of only $45. The council moved that such a policy be obtained through Ackrow and Wells, Weston. ‘‘But it‘s like paying for a dead horse," said Counc. Foster Rowntree, commenting on the destruction of Hurricane Hazel which had wiped out all the work on the park. PARKING LOT HEARING A communication from the Ontario Municipal board notiâ€" fied the town that a hearing will be held on Wednesday, January 5th at 11 a.m. to consider the town‘s proposed financing of a municipal parking lot on John Street. It was explained that the amount of $1,000 had been set aside in the estimates for the park and that it was felt that the job had been done properly. Chairman of parks, Counc. G. Moore reported that his commitâ€" tee recommended the payment of $850.35 to Dileo and Co. inâ€" stead of the full bill of $941. He explained that part of the work was done in agreement with the township of Etobicoke in conâ€" nection with the cleaning up of the area after the installation of the Etobicoke sewer through the park. In his bill, Dileo had only allowed half a day‘s work for Etobicoke, Counc. Moore exâ€" plained, but in consultation with Etobicoke it was agreed that the charging of one whole day‘s work‘to hte township would be a better arrangement. Payment for work on the resâ€" toration of Cruickshank Park last summer, work which has subsequently been nullified by Hurricane Hazel, was given:apâ€" proval by Weston council. this Christmas. .
