(b) In other areas of the town, the works commissioner be an- thorized to secure designed specifications and estimated costs as council directs. Reeve Donald Plaxton and Councillor Eric Handbury both stated their reasons for asking for daylightine was for the safety of motorists and pedes- trians. “If we adopt this basis, to a certain extent we are try- ing to revive part of the drain- age scheme suggested last year." the reeve maintained. yuan-"y... __-_. Mayor Broadhurst claimed that the town has a choice of using plans which are available and which have cost the town a considerable amount or spend- ing money for more engineer-l ing. He noted there was noth- ing in the works committee re- port to state the manner of ac- quiring the land. He said he felt the only fair way of deal- ing with the matter from the viewpoint of the town and of the owner was to acquire owner- ship of the land. “You are ac- tually taking control at the property." he said.

BAG World Day Of Prayer The service for the World Day of Prayer to be observed on March 5 was written by Mrs. McNeil, a gifted and distinguish. ed American Negro, wife of a Baptist minister in California. In 1961 she was named “lay- man of the year" by the Detroit Council of Churches, the first negro to receive this citation and the second woman. In the same year the Michigan House of Representatives named her “Michigan citizen of superior talents and effective effort in behalf of humanity". In 1963, she was one of 300 women invited by President John Kennedy to a conference at the White House, the outcome of which was the formation of the Women's Committee on Civil rights. In 1961 she led the prayer fellowship in Kitwe, Northern Rhodesia in observance of the 75th anniversary of the World Day of Prayer. The choice of Mrs. McNeil as author of this year’s service was an inspired one. Her selection of the theme, “What Doth the Lord Require of Thee?" is most timely in view of international and inter-racial tensions in the world today. The evening service at 8 p. m. will be in St. Paul’s Luth-l eran Church, Bayview Avenue.‘ Mrs. A. E Myers will speak and there will be a combined choir. A social half hour will follow this service as well. The afternoon service at 2‘ pm. will be in the United Church on Yonge Street and will be followed by a social half hour with a cup of tea. Nursery care will be provided. Speaker will be Mrs. Lily Stonehouse of Uxbridge, World Day of Prayer promoter for the Free Methodist denomination. Richmond Hill community‘ will observe World Day of Prayer in two services March Plan to attend the service most convenient for you. "NF 1 \*.J_\vy3»-~"-\...v. M E.

At the 5 per the ladies presented cheque for $500 to the bra president. Guest of honour for the oc- casion was 77 year old John Oliver DCM, MM., who served with the Ist battallion, 14th division CEF in World War I. and held the rank of CSM. Some months ago, the ladies‘ of the branch who regularly in-vade the domain of many vet- erans at Sunnybrook Hospital. bringing gifts and good cheer. found a particular friend. That evening they had finished their mission in the centre wing, fourth floor, and in due course began to visit the private rooms which lie along the corridors, abreast of the wing. It is normally the practice to refrain from visiting darkened rooms in which sick persons might lie, and did so on this visit, passing one quietly by, twice in succession. The second time. a voice from within said "That’s alright, go right on past me”. Upon entering the room they found one Johnny Oliver, a legless veteran who had fallen from his bed and broken both wrists. The atten- tion he received then, and has been given since, by our ladies, is worthy of note. He was sub- sequently adopted as their pro- tege, visited frequently and was given leave of absence from Sunnybrook to appear as guest of honour last Monday evening. As a life patient at the hospital and going into his fifth year of residence he ex- pressed appreciation of his first outing in 18 months, and was presented with a cheque by President Frank Barrot. Johnny immediately matched the sum on the cheque, from his own pocket, and presented it to Poppy Fund Chairman Ernest Benton. After he- had been de- clared “Sweetheart of Branch 375” and given a very large valentine containing many sig- natures, Johnny was introduced ‘at the branch general meeting ;where he became a member of the branch. He was later shown ,around Legion Court and visit- ,ued the clubroom. When he was 'taken back to Sunnybrook he ‘said that this was a day he ,would never forget. men Gua vide and forn than who casi: tend The in a prox ente a cr ing was wife chai beai pen win: mor cho: RI On 1HA will the ten Hospital Committee Chair- man Jaek Sanders reports that Comrade Ken Macleod is pres- ently a patient in York Central Hospital.
