July 28. -- When the Canadian Women's track and field championships and Olympic trials are held at Varsity Stadium. Toronto, in August, a Saskatoon girl, Miss Ethel Catherwood, will attempt to break the world's record for the high jump among women athletes, which is at present held by Miss Phyllis Green, of London, England, with a jump of five feet. Miss Catherwood is now credited with a running high jump of 5 feet 244 ins, so Western hopes run high that the Canadian girl will make a new record and bring fresh laurels to Canada. She will be accompanied east by her mother and will enter the running high jump, the javelin and discus throws, STREETS BECOME A BATHING PARADE Authorities in Ford City Are to Put a Stop tolt Ford City, Ont, July 28.--Authori- ties of this town are determined not to have its streets turned into a Bathing Beauty Promenade, and to that end restrictive measures are to he strictly enforced against those fair hathers who persist in donning their bathing cos- tumes at home and then leisurely prom- enading through the residential streets on their way to the municipal beach, "The practice to my mind is little short of indecent and is certainly not in the best interests of our children," declared Chief Albert Maisonville after a conference with the Mayor. But, how to stop it? Town Clerk J. E, Foster found one way when he un- carthed an old hy-law of the town which it is believed will enable the police to carry out their plans.

The preliminary tests conducted by the manufacturers, Messrs. Beardmore, of Glasgow, were completely satisfactory. If the engines come through the official trials with colors flying, assembly of the huge rigid airship, R. 101, will commence at the Cardington airship works early in September, sreater safety is claimed by experts for crude oil driven aircraft over those using petrol. In addition they consume a lesser weight of fuel and are there- fore capable of longer flights without breaks for refuelling. The vital im- portance of these points .in aircraft destined for trams-oceanic flights has led to the favoring of the crude oil engine over the petrol engine and has greatly stimulated its development. Montreal is justly eclated over its selection recently by British air trans- portation specialists as the Canadian airport for the trans-Empire service. The 600 acre field between St. Lambert and St. Bruno which has been chosen is on the opposite shore of the St. Law- rence, but within a few miles of the city. The new bridge across the St. Lawrence now under construction has gained an added importance from this act. Before long the huge mooring mast to which the Empire air argonauts will tie up on some eventful day next sum- mer will commence its towering ascent into the sky and the South Shore will sce monster refuelling and regassing plants under construction. Plans for similar work in Australia and South Africa are well under way, while air- ports at Ismailia and Karachi are near- ng completion. Lady: "I want to buy a revolver. it's for my husband."

POWER ASSOC'N Continued from page 1) the council meeting to discuss Hy- dro matters has been prematurely called, The Central Ontario Power Assoclation in which Oshawa is rep- resented and of which Frank L. Ma- son is president are at present tak- ing steps toward securing an ad- Justment of Central Ontario rates, At a meeting held some itme ago a special committee to secure infor- mation concerning tre rates in Cen- tral Ontario, the manner in which they were detemined and the fac- tos which influence their variations was appointed. The committee drew up a set of questions and appointed Mr, Mason to interview the Hydro officials In Toronto and obtain the desired information. This was done and the answers given in the form of a report were recelved on June 26, The committee met at Cobourg on July 6 to review the report, and in the discussion which followed it was deemed advisable to obtain ad- ditional nformation from the Hydro Electric Commission hefore report- The delegates to the convention | this morning were welcomed by Mr. MeTavish, who Introduced J, H, | Beaton, general sales manager of General Motors of Canada. Mr, Beaton stressed the importance of the service manager's position, and the necessity of having men of his calibre for such a post of 'aport | ance, He pointed out the value of | good service not only to the custom- f er hut to the dealer himself, in its | tendency to bring back the car own- er to the dealer who has given him good service when the time comes to huy another car, ! Parts Department W. E. Gillett, the manager of the | parts department, told of the pro- | visions made by this division to | comply Immediately with requests for parts, no matter from what part of the country they came. He em- phasized the importance of letting | the parts department know at once if any cars were tied up for lack of | parts, as this was a state of affairs | which should not be allowed to con- tinue for a moment longer than necessary, The General Motors' proving ground was discussed by N. H. Dan- lel, Service Engineer, who intro- duced an Interesting moving picture film depicting all the activities of this famous institution. The dele- gates watched the cars go through all sorts of tests from the speed loop to the "bath tub" test. They were able to see the process by which Fisher bodies are built up, | from the first chalk drawing to | the finished product. | The film showed them, as Mur. | McTavish remarked afterwards, | that the "proving ground was not | a stunt but a real business institu- | tion with its motto, 'get the facts'." Lunch at Curling Rink A visit to the parts department where hundreds of thousands of parts are stored, some dating back to the cars of twenty years ago, was followed by lunch at the curling rink and an inspection of the General Motors Maintenance Department. The afternoon was occupied by a talk on service promotion by W. M. | Christian, manager of the Service | Promotion Departmen; and viewing | of the mew models of all Gene:al Motors cars since the last conven- tion, with a short discussion of the | mechanical changes in each. The | convention will continue tomorrow. | DIES AFTER SHORT 1LINESS Carbzerry, Man., July 27.---Mayor 'Wilfred C. Balfour of Carberry. is dead after a brief illness. Mr RBal- four who was 50 years old, was ser- ving his second year as mayor of the town. He was born in Om:mee, Mr. Tightfist--""And so you are the noble fellow who rescued my wife from in front of the electric car at the risk of your life? Take this shilling, my heroic man, as am ex- pression of our undying regard." Mr. Rags--""All right, boss. You know better'n I do what the wom- an's worth." "What caused a delay at your friend the plumber's wedding?" Ing back to the Association. The in- fomation asked is at present being prepared by the Commission and when received the Committee after reviewing the then complete report will go hefore a meeting of the whole Association, Until that time the report will not he made public, In consequence of these facts, Mr, .Mason believes that council should take no action until the contents of the final report are known, Report Not Complete, Mayor Preston has written Mr, Mason asking for a copy of the first report. As the report in the form in which it will be presented to the Association is not complete and be- cause it has not been placed hefore the Association In any form as yet, Mr. Mason has refused the request, In his reply to Mayor Prestons let- ter, Mr. Mason offers to allow May- or Preston to examine the report on the condition that the contents be not made public, M, Mason believes that an Incomplete report made pub: lic might create erroneous impres- sions, and he points out further. more that he would not be faithful- ly discharging a trust if he made public a document entrusted to him as president of the Association and which because it was imcomplete was not yet before the Association, It is an interesting fact that Osh- uwa Is one of sixteen municipalities in the province of Ontario which do not own their own distributing sta- tion. It is also a fact that all of the sixteen centres are located in Cen- gral Ontario. For Hydro purposes the povince is divided into various systems consisting of Niagara, Georgian Bay, St. Lawrence and Cen- tral Ontario systems. The last nam- ed was acquired by the Government of the province from a private com- pany some years ago, and has since been operated by the Hydro Elec- tric Power Commission. Many of the municipalities in the Central On- tario system have acquired by the Government of the province from a privage company some MN wars ago, and has since been operated by the Hydro Electric Power Commission. Many of the municipalities in the Central Ontario system have acquir- ed their distributing system since the change in ownership took place. Sixteen including Oshawa have not dome so.

Whitby is one of four municipalities in Ontario where the rates are being raised this year, Whitby, thanks to a surpius whieh has been acquired, will not have to increase the rate of power and lighting to the consumer but will pay the increase from the sur- plus. Favor Municipal Ownerships The Hydro Eleltric Commission is known to favor the municipal owa- ership of distributing plants, Their work principally is the generation and transmission of power and it is their aim to confine their work us much as possible to these two phas- es of electrical service. Because cf this there are those who maintain that the Commission will not be like- ly to offer municipalities such as Oshawa any inducement in the form of low rates to continue under the present system. Now that the matter is being brought to a head one of the chief problems for Oshawa to consider will be the advisability of purchas- | plant, ing the local distributing plant. The watter is said by those who know We make First Mort Loans on Good Resi Properties in the City of Oshawa INTEREST RATE 6% % CENTRAL CANADA PAN AND SAVINGS COMPANY ESTABLISHED 1884 -- gage * SERVICE the situation to he one demanding considerable thought, Advantages such as more economical operation resulting in lower rates are claimed for the municipal ownership scheme. But there is an argument in favor of remaining as at present, some say. There is a surplus to the credit of the Oshawa plant as operated by the Commission at present and it appears to be growing. This sur- plus, should the dity take over the will be deducted from the amount spent here by the Commis- sion in plant and equipment, in ar- riving at the purchase price. Con- sequently it is argued that the long- er the city waits the lower will be the purchase price. Those who have been in touch with the situation for some time state that until the whole question is discussed and probed thoroughly from every angle, a proper decision as to the best ccurse cannot be reached. It is understood that the Hydro has an investment of $300,000 in the Oshawa plant and this with an estimated surplus of £60,000 will give some idea of the probable cost of purchasing the plant. Cost of Administration What the Central Ontario Power Association is at present trying to learn is how the cost of general administration of tht system has been apportioned among the various municipalities served in the past and how would it be apportioned in the future should each munici- pality buy its distributing plant. When these questions ered the enigma of variations Oshawa's power rates. as well as those of other municipalities will probably have been solved. Osh- awa citizens who know the facts find it hard to understand why power rates here have been imncreas- ed about 25 per cemt while in other municipalities not a hundred miles away there have been reduc- tions almost as great within the past six years. There is a possible explanation that Oshawa when the system was privately owned receiv- od a particularly low rate in view of its proximity to the Niagara sys- tem through which it might have been supplied if dissatisfied. Amd olher centres due to their distance from other source of pow- er might have been charged an ex- cessive rale. Another fact "a com- mection with Oshawa Hydro mat- ters is that the rates have been increased despite a greatly ia- creased use of power here. This city has a daily average of ap- proximately 5.400 horsepower at present as compared with an aver- age of less Than half that amount in 1921.
