Charlie left his car in front of Kerr's grocery store for a few minutes and returned to find it gone. He reported it to the police and in short order it was discovered at Newtonbrook completely wrecked. The driver, Bert Webb of Toronto, was taken to the Toronto General Hospital and was later charged with car theft. Another big (lance will be held in October at which there will be a re- freshment booth.

It attracted a crowd of about 200, some of them married couples. The mas- ter of ceremonies was Dion. Tapscott who led the sing song while Hugh Yerex supplied the music for the dancing.

Per- haps one evidence of this change, this progress, is the bit of conflict we sometimes note between young people and; older _ people._ “Toleration,” was the subject of Rev.

Don’t forget the Lions Club Dance in- the Richmond Hill Arena Friday evening, Sept. 28th. is very encouraging and speaks well for the success of this venture. Mr. J. A. Metcalfe, Chairman of the Fin- ance Committee, stated he was send- ing out letters around the district announcing that the Committee was now ready to begin their campaign for raising money, and stating they would like one hundred or more peo- ple to donate one hundred dollars, or more, each, and if this were done it would prove to the Committee that the people are behind this project. Following these letters the Commit- tee members intend making a general campaign of the district and hope everyone will donate something, whe- ther it be a small or large amount. Copies of these plans are being prepared and will be on display in the very near future in all post off- ices of Woodbridge and district. Also, each of the eleven members of the Committee are being given a copy of the plans to show the people when they make their canvas for funds. Regarding the raising of funds, at this meeting Dr. McLean, Committee Chairman, made the first request for donations and received eleven hun- dred dollars, which, to say the least, F. Barnett looked facetiously on the situation. ‘Either it’s fun or a pain in the neck for a butcher to handle the tokens,” he said. “People come with their tokens on strings or safety pins sometimes, and their value and the whole rationing sysâ€" tem must be explained to them.” At a recent meeting of the Wood- bridge District Memorial Committee definite plans were received for the proposed recreational building, which is to be erected as a War Memorial in Woodbridge by the citizens of Woodbridge and the surrounding dis- tricts. Richmond Hill’s butchers are pre- pared to carry on as best they can under the circumstances. W. L. Glass, butcher, does not believe the tokens which are now employed are as bothersome as the plan followed in the previous rationing. “When the weight doesn’t justify a coupon, the customer gets change in the form of tokens,” he said. “It’was a bit diffi- cult to handle them at first, but one gets used to them. I have no com» plaint with rationing.” Woodhridge District Plans War Memorial Mrs. G. Yerex, president of the Women’s Institute, pointed out that if everyone agreed to do without meat for a stipulated time, rationing would not be needed. “But such complete agreement would be diffi- cult to get, and so recourse must be hadt‘o rationing,” she explained. ed per person per month.
