Haîlman, Chair- man of Relief Cominittee, reports that the managers of the local factor- jes are- doing everything possible to give employment to those out of work and have sought relief from the town. Mr. ilalîman quoted several cases where factories have taken on men whom they didflot actually require, but have given temiporary exnploy- ment at prevailing wages for the class of work they are able to pro- vide. Compared wîth..manyý other towas, Bowmanville is very fortunate in only having two indigents to provide for at present and both of these are eld- erly people. MEETING FOR MEN ONLY Very sorry ladies, but the big pow- wow arranged by Chamber of Com- merce at Bungalow this Friday night is for men only. Insist that hubby goes and maybe be wili tell you about the good time afterwards. From the iaterest taken ln this gathering of the clan it is doubtful if t e Bung- alow will hold the crowd. There is one thing certain the evening's show, program. or whatever you may term it is entirely different from anything yet attempted. Every- thing is free-Bungalow, entertain- ment, lunch, chairs, publicity, and ail other expenses are mysteriously paîd in advance. Every man la Durham is free to corne and will be made welcome. The man la over-, ails will get the glad hand and an orchestra seat but lookout for the chap who dares to wear a dress suit on this memorable occasion. Men, don't bring any money Fri- day night for you can't spend a nickel. Tt will also be considered a breach of etiquette to ask a man to join the association. Be it under- stood this aiffair is not to ýraise money or secure members, but for a down right unadulterated evening of en- joyment. The many friends of Mr. Wmý Trewin who feli on the icy, pavement a f ew weeks ago and hurt himself seriously is now undergoing treat- ment in Wellesley Hospital, Toron- to, and is doing nicely.
