Smith introduced the speaker on behalf of Mr. Chas. Swan who was unable to attend the meeting due to illness. Mrs. Smith told the audience how the speaker, Mr. N. Hollingshead came to be the radio production manager of Ontario. He was born in Toronto and bought his first crystal set from money earned as a delivery boy. His first real ra- dio work was with the radio ser- vices department of a national mail order firm in 1939. During 1940 and 1941 he served with the Norwegian Merchant Navy, as a wireless operator. After more work in radio as a technician at CHML, he moved to CFRB in Toronto and in 1944 became a technician for the CBC. In March 1948 he became a radio producer. In August 19§7 he was promoted to radio production minager of Toronto and later became radio production manager of Ontario. A. discussion was also held on a proposed room where the teaâ€" chers might have a hot lunch. Mrs. A. Graham and Mrs. Jack Blyth are to approach the school board on this matter and report to the February executive meet- ing. The parent count was won by Mrs. T. Achtemichuk. The number of applicants re- turned to King City School by parents looks "favorable" toward formation of a Home and School Association, according to Princi- pal Carson Bice. Much discussion was heard on the traffic situation which has become a major problem at the school. The caretaker, Mr. Will- iam Foster, has become quite concerned about the children crossing the highway, and asked the parents to stress the danger to the children. Inquiries are to be made as to the possibility of a traffic light at the school and having a policeman come to the school and speak to the children on highway safety. More than‘so completed forms had been received by the request- ed date. January 31. of over 200 questionnaires distributed among school families. With Mr. Bice, Mrs. W. F. R. Hood. Mrs. W. B. Cook and Mr. William T. Heaslip were the nucleus trying to determine if there was a sufficient number of interested ratepayers to warrant organizing a home and school group. Most ratepayers received a paper. which queried, "Would you favor a Home and School Association to discuss needs of the school and the home? Would you give active support to such an organization? Would you be willing to give__ service as an of- ficer. convenor, or committee member? Would you try to at- tend monthly meetings remll‘arlv" Named to the new council were Major James Baxter, Charles F. W. Burns. John Aird, Jack Craw- ford, John Grew, Raymond Burt, John Whalley, Gordon Tetley, William Cook, and a representa- tive to be named by the after- noon and evening branches of the W.A.

A report on the tumbling mats recently purchased for the school was made and it was found that the chldren were making good use of the mats and enjoyed their periods of RT. immensely. tend monthly meetings regularly? Included was a message writ- ten by Dr. S. R. Laycock, past president of the Canadian Home and School and the Parent-Teach- er Federation, “Every child has four sets of teachers â€" home teachers or parents, playmate teachers, school teachers and community teachers. “It a child is to grow emotion- ally, socially, physically. morally and intellectually, his four sets of teachers need to be pulling together. To do that they need an organization which will fur- nish them with the means of studying the child as well as of studying how they can make his home. his school and his com- munity a real help in assisting him to grow up into a fine Cana- dian citizen. Such an organiza- tion made up of fathers as well as mothers, school teachers and community leaders is a Home and School Association." At the request of Rev. Dr. W. Bruce Jennings an Advisory Council “to devote some time to the many facets of church Work that need attention, like church building, grounds and finances,” was appointed at the annual ves- try meeting of All Saints’ Angli- can Church.

Mr. Hollingshead spoke on ra- dio and how programs are de- cided upon, also the effect let- ters from listeners have on the producers of the programmes. When asked how children’s pro- grammes were decided upon, he said that Jack Dunlop heads the children's department with two programme organizers and pro- ducers, who get expert advice from various groups. Mr. Holling- shead explained points about ra- dio commercials and how an at- tempt is made by the CBC to keep commercials on a high plane.

Church attendance averaged 62. There were nine baptisms, one wedding and a funeral. In addi- tion to eight o'clock communion every Sunday and Holy Com- munion service at 11 am. the first Sunday of the month, Dr. Jennings gave private commun- ions to shut~ins. Events during centennial year included dedi- cation of church additions by Bishop Wilkinson; the rector's in- ducton in September and centen- ary dinner and services last Nov- ember. “For the sake of the growing generations we must be willing to make sacrifces of time, efi‘ort and money to meet the needs of the growing church today. Ours is a glorious inheritance as we begin the second century of this church's history. Let us be wor- thy members of it," Dr. Jennings challenged. WiAJs Report Mrs. Gordon Tetley, president of the Evening Branch, W.A.. and Mrs. Gordon Wells, president of the Afternoon Branch, reported for their groups which welcome new members.

J. H. MacColl- um, All Saints' rector 1891-1892. A gestener machine was purchas- ed for weekly bulletins. Enlargement Anticipated “Much needs to be done and we must soon begin to think of en- largement", Dr. Jennings noted. “We must do a great deal in the way of organization. The oppor- tunities that lie before us to work for Christ and His church are greater than ever before”. The Rector mentioned Bishop Wilkinson’s letter asking. for continued support in the work of church extension and that all be kept conscious of the need and responsibility. V Warden Baxter reviewed 'ach- ievements of the church in the centennial year and extended a warm welcome to the rector and his family. Wilcox Socials A request was imade for a new caretaker to look after the ground§ ang snow clearance. Finances of all groups were re ported in good condition. Dr. Jennings commended the work of the choir, organist, Wo- men's Associations. Little Help- ers. Junior Auxiliary and lay reader Mr. Tetley. Councillor Gibbs. apparently not aware that it was a copy only of council’s letter she had re- ceived, then took the floor. Gone was the quiet, almost submissive air she had worn since the electors put her into office with a large majority of votes. The letter to council read as follows: “Would you please ad- vise us what steps may township council take to remove unsightly shacks, overnight cabins, which have been condemned by the Fire Marshall and Council.” Addressing the ratepayers, the lady councillor asked, “Where did Mrs. Butt receive the author- ity to send such a letter to me in which she asked, “It is the wish of the ratepayers that you bring this before council." “I have not attended a meeting of the ratepayers” association since November 18 (there had not been any meeting called since that date) and want to know where she (Mrs. Butt) got the a'fithority to write this. I am not going to put my foot into it before it is taken before the ratepayers and approved. Then I will take it to council." Mrs. Butt exclaimed, “Please face me when you ask that ques- tion.” Councillor Gibbs did so and rephrased her question reâ€" garding the authority, to which Mrs. Butt replied it was the wish of the ratepayers at the Novem~ her meeting that such action be taken and she had conferred with President Syd Cole before send~ ing any letter, reading the letters’ context to him for his approval, before mailing them. Mrs. Chester Butt, as secretary of the association and with the approval of the board members then sent a letter to Whitehurch Council, and as a courtesy ges- ture to the member of council sponsored by the ratepayers. a letter was forwarded to Mrs. Gibbs too. Sam Templeton, a property owner on the 2nd concession of Whitchurch for the last eight years stated, “A man’s home is his castle. You can‘t go to a man and say 'I don't like your house so it's got to come down’. The shacks," Mr. Templeton advised, Chairman Cole asked, “Are we nterested in removing all the condemned shacks, or are we picking and choosing,” following a great deal of discussion by vari- ous ratepayers on what might have been termed “the state of condemnation.” One woman present at the meeting declared she had seen the police, fire and health de- partments descend on a vacant condemned house on a certain day followed by the hydro de- partment and that the followng day new tenants had moved into what was reportedly a condemn- edr dwelling. A Another ratepayer stated the Toronto owners of these so-called I‘summer homes," which they rented for a sizeable amount of money all year, were responsible for the label “slums” which had been tacked on to them. Another voiced the opinion that the ten- ants were to blame for not taking better care of other peOple‘s property_.__ Previous to Monday night’s meeting the ratepayers’ secre- tary, Mrs. Chester Butt had sent a letter to the Department of Municipal Affairs asking for in- formation on procedure to do away with condemned dwellings. In due time the Attorney Genâ€" eral's department replied, “It is possible for a county council to draw up a bylaw and pass an act to deal with the information you enclosed in your letter. ~â€" 7 7»: “will come down eventually", and his cancluding remarks, “without us pulling them down,” drew a laugh that relieved some of the tensron building up in the meeting. Then. on Monday evening the Lake Wilcox ratepayers held their first meeting for 1958. It was a meeting quoted as having a “doubly potent topic of discussion,” to see what could be done about the many deserted shacks at the Lake, which have been condemned by both health and fire departments of the dis- trict. The question then arose as to the exact location of, and previ- ous accommodation as provided by, the shacks in question. Presi- dent Cole said they were chiefly concerned about some condemn- ed tourist cabins near the school, but that all unsightly buildings around the Lake should be re- moved. 0n Mrs. Gibbs remarks that “Parliamentary procedure should go through the proper channels," Mrs. Butt declared that she was finished and that they could get someone else to act as secretany. She continued to sit in the secre- tary's chair for the balance of the discussion period but did not take any notes. ' By Mona Robertson’ Mrs. Elsie Gibbs became a member of Whitchurch Council on January lst, 1958, supported by the Lake Wil- cox Ratepayers’ Association. As a matter of fact, Mrs. Gibbs was sponsored by two members of the association when nominations for council were received prior to the election. _ Councillor Mrs. Gibbs said that on the advice of Whitchurch Prior to and after her election, Councillor Mrs. Gibbs was reported from time to time in the press as very en- thusiastic for the welfare of Lake Wilcox residents, but one received the impression that here was a woman, on council for the first time in her life, who was going to keep in the background more or less, at least for the time being, until she really had something to say or do. BRADFORD - Since the instal- lation of parking meters in Brad- ford in July, 1956. up to Dec- ember. 1957, total receims were over $8,000. The cost of the me- ters and cost of installation are practicalhy all paid for, it is claimed. Lake Wilcox Delegates To Whitchurch Council ReCondemnedBuildings Councillor Mrs. Gibbs said she had asked Mr. Lucas if they could have access to the assess- ment rolls for this purpose and she was under the impression that they could not use this means of tracing owners but must apply to the registry office. An- other snag appeared in this con- nection when she discovered that many of the homes were not under the proper owner's name. She said that one particular house was owned by a man whose ad- dress was given as Mimico, but that it was know. the man lived in Florida and they did not have that address at the registry of- fice. In order to carry out this plan of demolition, “It might have to take a big survey job to get those shacks down," Mrs. Gibbs affirmed. A ratepayer then recommend~ ed a delegation go to council to support Mrs. Gibbs, and the mo- tion was passed unanimously, with the exception of Mr. Temâ€" pleton who later told “The Lib- eral,” "Council is doing a good ob. They can’t do everything at (nce. We are going in over our heads on this thing and should leave it up to council.” Chairman Cole had to call for help to write the motion into the minutes as Mrs. Butt had by this time withdrawn from office. Mrs. Clyde, treasurer of the associa- ton was unanimously declared secretary-treasurer for the bal- ance of the year. She recorded the following names as delega- Councillor Mrs. Gibbs, had proved her position. She had also proved that she was going to be a voice that was heard. and left the meeting with the support of the ratepayers girded for battle. She believes as others do that in time Lake Wilcox. which is already flowering with new homes of substantial worth and beauty will one day take its place with all other rural communities who struggle through adversity, fight squalor and emerge Victoriously in a new and ordered state. In short, we predict that the time is not too far off when Lake Wilcox will settle down quietly to en- hance its own community with fellowship and goodwill to itself and its neighbours. t not from the legal point of view that if a man has to be serv- ed with a legal notice it can be sent to his last known address several times, and after a reason- able length of time action may be taken?” Mr. Hanson then asked. “Would not a ruling from the Municipal Board be a good thing on this?” President Cole said the rate- payers' association had been try- ing to deal with this situation since May of 1956. At that time he said, “We wrote a letter to council in May 1956, asking what action could be taken about con- demned houses.” Council replied they had no authority to remove dwellings. “You can see from this," Chairman Cole said, “we have been going into this matter for two years." A A Solicitor J. D. Lucas, “we must proceed with caution.” She fur- ther stated that she had received information that a question of legal ownership for various land holdings had arisen and soap- ported this statement with in- formation she had received that a lot of places are improperly listed for ownership on the as- sessment rolls. “They might take down the wrong house," she said, “bringing a lawsuit on the town- ship.” Referring to the adverse pub- licity that Lake Wilcox received over a period of years. an asso- ciation member said, “There are a lot of respectable people living here in Lake Wilcox and why should I have the right to tell a man what to do with his prop- erty." Not only are these houses un~ sightly, ratepayers state, but there is a danger factor involved too. These dwellings, built a mere 12 feet apart, could go up in smoke causing the loss of houses rear them, they asserted. Chil~ dren play in and around them and if the shacks should collapse tragedy might ensue. Chairman Cole then asked for a motion to the effect that a delegation of ratepayers be form~ ed to wait on Whitchurch Council tonight, Thursday and ask for ‘Their interpretation of the bylaw concerning condemned build- ings.” tion member}: Mrs. Munro, Mrs Murray, Mrs. Ashley. and Messrs Smith, Lewis and Hanson, Mr. Hanson said that the people living in these shacks are (with their many children) the biggest contributors to this school’s en~ rollment." They are not taxpayâ€" ers, since they only rent their loomes he said. Some homes which had been condemned meant the ejection of their ten~ ants and Mr. Hanson cited one case where a family of five was evicted from a “condemned” houseâ€"but right now it is oc~ cupied again. Danger Factor Councillor Mrs. Gibbs said, ‘This it not a thing you can do overnight," referring to the re- moving or unsightly homes. "The whole of this section has to be behind us to get representation on council, I can't do this alone." Mr. Hanson asked Mrs. Gibbs, ‘With regard to the discussion, is PUBLISHED IY AUTHORI" 0' ROM.
