FARMER DROWNED No doubt now remains that Alfred Garret, farmer and auctioneer of In- verary, was drowned by falling out of | his boat at Loughborough Lake on Monday, and, while the body has not been located yet, the use of dynamite is expected to have the desired result. Owing to the rough weather on the water it was impossible to continue the search yesterday.

HER ESTIMATES Figures Will {Be Submitted to Cabinet Tomor- Tokio, Nov. 5. -- Owing to the dif- ficulty of finding sufficient revenue to cover proposed new enterprises, the Department of Finance has slashed 59,600,000 yen (roughly $29,750,000) from the estimates drawn up by the other departments. The figures, which will be submitted to the Cabinet total 1,717,000,000 yen (about $858, 500,000), showing a decrease of 13, 000,000 yen ($6,500,000) from the pre- sent budget. The navy estimates are now 273, 000,000 yen ($136,500,000) and the army 220,000,000 yen ($110,000,000), increases of 7,000,000 yen and 8,000, 000 yen respectively. The present revisions are only ten- tative and may be increased before the budget is approved as the various departments are insistent that the ap- propriations are according to their estimates. -| WORKERS AT ST.

GERMANY MAYBE ASKED TO EQUIP FRENCH AIRPORTS Proposed as Payment in Kind Under Dawes Plan Paris, Nov. 5--A proposal that Ger- many should be asked to equip a sys- tem of airports and air lines in France and her colonies as payment in kind under the Dawes plan has been put forward by Senator de Lubersac. In a letter to Maurise Bokanowski, Minister of Commerce, de Lubersac says he got the idea when he learned the Government contemplated equip: ping freight trains with air-brakes by this procedure. Are Competent De Lubersac points out that the Germans have already established more than 80 air-ports, equipped two air lines with beacons for night fly- ing and are building at Bremenhaven Germany, a colossal airport destined to be the terminus of an air line between Europe and America. He claims that climate, geographical po- sition, and terrain all indicate that France should be the point of depar- ture for Europe air lines to America, Africa and even the Far East, ENGLAND NEEDS $2,500,000 TO REPAIR HER CATHEDRALS London, Nov. 4.--At least £500,000 | (roughly $2,500,000) will be needed ur- | gently within the next few years to keep English cathedrals in repair and an appeal for help should be made to the English-speaking nations, the Cathedral Commission of the church of England has concluded. | IN AW IV YU WE YW we WE) THORNTON'S CORNERS Thornton's Corners, Nov, 4.--Hal- lowe'en passed over in this vicinity without any damage done, while the young people enjoyed a good time, dressed in the odd costumes, calling on the neighbors who welcomed them with taffy and apples, etc. The Jack- o-lantern's too smiled their approval to celebrate on this occasion.

ASHBURN Ashburn, Nov. 3--Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Kerr of Agincourt spent the week-end with their son, Mr. Wal. ter Kerr. Miss Hazel Mole is spending a i two-weeks' vacation with her uncles Also Mr. and |!0 a = -- MR. HANNA AND THE OSHAWA PROHIBIITION UNION Editor Oshawa Daily Times. Dear Sir:i-- In your leading article in your issue of Friday last you say that "Chairman Hanna is aware of sentiment opposed to a liquor store only by letters from certain organizations." This is cer- tainly not in keeping with the facts of the case for early in the year Mr. Hanna courteously received and pa- tiently heard a deputation of respon- sible men from the Oshawa district who presented views and reasons with such evident effect on Mr. Hanna's mind that he gave assurance that no hquor store would be opened in Ush- awa until the people had had an op- portunity to express themselves in a vote on the subject. Knowing Mr. hanna to be a man of affairs and knowing of no reason why tney should not believe that he was also a man of strictest honour the prohibition people accepted hs word at its face vaiue and so did not initiate any propaganda which could possibly be regaracd as indicative of aistrust or designed to complicate the administration or tne liquor Control act, w hicn, however much prohibi- tionists may disapprove of it, 15 tne aw ul the province. You plead that "It is not easy to sce ron visited their daughter here on sunday. A number of thunderstorms have passed over here uuring the past tew days whicn is quite an unusual tning tor this season of ine year. 'he yemains oI the late Mrs. John Waker of Fort Perry were interned mn the cemetery here on Saturday. Deceased, who was formerly Adeline Hoss, lived on the town line north of here for a number of years, and was a regular attendant at the church here. She was a kindly neighbor and ready at all times to lend a helping hand wherever the opportunity presented itself. A daughter of Mrs, Spencer lives on the town line and her brother, Mr. Wil- lis Rass to whom, with her husband and other relatives, the sympathy of the community goes out in this their hour of deep sorrow. Mr. and Mrs. Allin Walker of Whitby visited their parents here on Sunday. ' The Special anniversary services which were held in Burn's church on Sunday were largely attended, the Pastor, Rev. W, B, M. Mitchell, delivered two very impressive ser- mons, while the choir supplied spe- cial appropriate music, On Monday night the ladies of the church served a fowl supper, after which a splendid program of music and readings were listened to in the body of the church, which was fit- tingly decorated for the occasion. Mr. Fred Tarvis was a recent vis- itor with Blackstock friends. Miss Ruth Stuttaford, who is teaching in Claremont Continuation School, spent the week-end with her father, Mr, John Stuttaford. Mr. Wesley Routley, who was on business trip to California, has returned and reports that Canada with its varied weather still appeals him, Mr. Levi Ross and daughter, Mrs, Campbell, who were attending the funeral of the former's sister, Mrs. John Walker, spent the week with Mr. Willis Ross, Mrs. Quinlan and son of Picker- ing called on old friends here on Saturday. It is nearly twenty years since they moved from this neigh- borhood to Pickering, and they no- ted a great many changes around here during that time, how; with the representations brought betore his attention, Chairman Hanna could do otherwise than he has done." On this point many will disagree with you seeing it has not yet been made public that any important representa- tions have been made in favour of a liquor store for Oshawa. Mr. Hanna is certainly quite competent to judge as to the quality and importance of the average petition in favour of greater facilities for the purchase of intoxicants. li as is commonly re- ported the petitions presented includ- ed only about 2000 names, and these untested by any critical scrutiny, it seems strange to assume that less than one in ten of the population of the community affected should be regard- ed as constituting a mandate for plac- ing a liquor stere in our City. "The point of view of many is that it is not easy to sec how Mr. Hanna would take any action towards opening a store in Osnawa on account of such representations as have been made to him. As a man of attairs Mr. Hanna knows perfectly well, in fact no one could know better than he, that Osh- awa is about the last piace m the pro- vince where the unwisuom ot mercased facilities for ootam.ng Inoxicauls would be more avunaantly evident. His honourable connection with a great Railway sysiem placed him in a position in which he had to know that even moderate indulgence in alcohoh- cally drugged drinks impairs efnciency and constitutes an added hazard wm the handling of powerful machinery Men working in factories owe it to their employers and to their fellow- workmen to be able to contribute all of their natural powers towards the common success and the common safety and the Honoyrable Liquor Commission has no right to contribute towards any increase of hazard. in consideration ot any minority no mat- ter how insistent. It is easy to undeistand that Mr. Hanna might not be inclined to pay a great deal of attention to the Prohi- bition Union but surely he has some respect for the people of this commun- ity who expressed themselves in no HE uncertain manner at the last general election when both political parties agreed that the drink question was the major consideration of the campaign. With the general sentiment of your leading articles on this subject most prohibitionists will heartily agree and they ought to thank you for the cour- ageous and public spirited stand which vou have taken, as does your faith- fully, JON GALT. - va What do you think of it?
