A request from Mr. S. E. O'Brien, secretary of the minister of public works, asking the municipality to cede over to the Dominion government a portion of land 40 feet long by 35 feet deep at the south end of Brock street was referred to the streets committee. Reeve A. W. Jackson pointed out that the council had agreed to do this at a special meeting held two months ago as the particular portion of land was required by the government in order to erect a retaining wall at the north end of the harbor slip. This wall would protect the street from encyoachment by the lake.

He estimated that 7 loads would be required of 10% cubic yards. Reeve Jackson considered that the town should do the work without any expense to the peti- tioner as he was entitled to consi- deration as a ratepayer. Upon his suggestion the matter was placed in the hands of the streets committee, also a communication from Mr. E. M, Lomax asking for sidewalk, sewer and water connections to his property on King and Ontario streets. Chief of Police Gunson addressed the council recommending that a pro- per policg record book be acquired for his department. Upon motion of Deputy Reeve Underwood and Coun- cillor Mowat, Town Clerk Frost was instructed to purchase the same.

The inspector claims that the roots are full of borers. The council decided that Chief Guuson should get in touch with the parties who had started out to destroy the corn and demand that they complete their job, Upon recommendation of the fin- ance committee accounts totalling $647.11 were approved and passed in- cluding $15.50 chargeable to finance; $168.20 streets; $118.50 town proper- ty; $7.32 relief; $40 sidewalks; $284.10 accounts paid and not passed.

WHITBY PERSONAL Mr. and Mrs. George Ames Jr, and Mr, and Mrs, Wilbur Chown were guests at the Royal Military College June Ball held at Kingston last evening. MID WEEK HALF-HOLIDAY the Bockville and Times) (From Recorder The members of the Brockville Business Men's Association, suc cessor to the Retail Merchants' Association, know, of course, their own business; but there is a wide- spread and growing feeling among citizens that they are making a mistake in continuing the prac- tice of closing their places of bus- iness on Wednesday afternoons during the summer months, the more so as there is evidence of a lack of unanimity among the merchants themselves. It is the right of those employ- ed in the shops of the community to receive adequate holidays dur- ing the summer 120nths when there exists greatest opportunity for outdoor recreation and diver- sion, ana no person will quarrel with the adoption of any policy which will make that possible, pro- vided it does mot result in any serious dislocation of the commun- ity's business. But why the mer- chants cannot attain that object by an adjustment of their staffs without incurring mid-week ulcse- ups at a time, too, wheu the tour- ist business is at its height--is something that a great many cit- izens cannot understand. Phones: Ofice, 587; Res, 300 KEEN COMPETITION TRAINING SCHOOL BASEBALL LEAGUE Upset Occurs in Both as the Tail Enders Defeat the Leaders Bowmanville, June 18. -- While the close race in the International League at the Boys' Training School is giving the fans all around the ecireuit something to talk about, the boys at the School and the Staff are talking about the way the teams in both the School leagues are bunched and the scantiness of the margin by which games are being won and lost. Last week turned out to be disastrous for the leaders in hoth leagues, as the tail-enders turned on them and scored well- earned victories. As a result, seven out of eight teams have ev- ery reason to believe that they will be champions two weeks hence. In the Major League, the second place Tigers knocked off the leading Senators, only to bh beaten themselves by Pirates in third place. Maple Leafs lost their third straight game to Pir- .ates who seem to have the Indian sign on them, On Saturday af- ternoon the Leafs took a fall out of Senators who still lead the par- ade hy a few points. Maple Leafs are the best-balanced team in the league and have heaten hoth Senators and Tigers but they can't seem to get past the Pirates, which accounts for three of their League, Royals lost twice last week and as a result are now sharing the top rung with Bisons. Orioles are right behind, but Colts Orioles are right behind, but Colt8 are practically out of the running.

FINED §100 FOR RECKLESS DRIVING Jack Johnston Also Pays a $10 iFne for Having No Permit (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, June 18. -- Ar- raigned in wolice court here this morning before Magistrate Ward, Jack Johnson, Whitby, was fined ten dollars on a charge of driving without a permit and one hun- dred and costs for reekless driv# ing. The case arose from an ac- cident yesterday afternoon. John- son was driving east on the Kings- ton highway about a mile east of town. A gravel truck behind which he had been driving stop- ped, and Johnson shot out into the road intending to pass the stopped truck. He failed to ne- tice a small sedan approaching in the opposite direction driven by Thomas Kain, 5220 Park Ave. Montreal, and undertaker. Xain swung well out to the edge of the road and his right wheels were on the shoulder of the road. He ap- plied his brakes. Johnson failed to straighten out his car and crashed into the Kain car, rolling it into the ditch. Mrs. Kain received a cut over the right eye, and Lruises to the face and head. Mr, Kain is thought to be suffering from two broken ribs, Mrs. Kain's parents, Mr. and Mrs. D. A. MacDonald. 5719 Waverley St., Montreal, who were driving with them, escaped with minor contusions, The Kain car was hadly smashed, and the large touring which Johnson was driving was damaged to the extent of a hundred dollars. In court this morning Johnson a a-------- -- We Repair Anything Bought in a Jewelry Store BASSETTS JEWELLERS | On Oshawa's Main Corner pleaded guilty to the first count, that of driving without a permit. He pleaded not guilty on the see- ond charge. In his evidence, Johnson admitted that Kain had done everything possible to avoid the accident. Johnson also swore that he was not going over fifteen miles an hour. H. T. O. Hallick, who laid the 'charge, rather dis- credited this statement by point- ing out the damage which had been done. Besides the two fines, Johmson was ordered by the court to pay damages to XKain's car, and his license was revoked for three months. In lieu of fine he got three months in common jail at hard labor. Arrangements are be- ing made to have his fine paid early tomorrow. BOWNANVILLE FIRE BRIGADE RESPONDS Bowmanville, June 19. -- Re: sponding to a phone call at a» early hour this morning, the Bow. manville Fire Department left for Oshawa to assist in checking the blaze there which razed the old skating rink and several other buildings.The department was os the highway in four minutes from the time the call was received. Ruddy reflections of the blaze could be seen in the west at the time. The fire truck was just 14 minutes in arriving at the scene of the conflagration. A great number of citizens of the town al- 80 went to the scene of this spec- tacular blaze. Full particulars of the action of the local fire de- partment were not forthcoming' until later in the day. DANGERS OF BEDS (Letter in New Rork Times) 'And so to bed," it develops, is not so simple and safe.a thing as Pepys led us to believe. In 1927 the Travelers Insurance Company of Hartford reports seventy-three of its policyholders as having sus- tained injuries in getting in or out of bed, while the household bath tub hurt only sixty-four. For many years the bathtub, with its treacherous porcelain greased with soap, has been the greatest peril in the home, but if there was a safe place to enter or leave, it was the bed. Now another of humanity's dearest beliefs is shattered. Analyists could probably find several reasons why this pietons hazard to human safety has in our generation added to the dan- gers of human life by land and sea. Mr. Mencken would undoubtedly and instantly ascribe the casual- ties to prohibition, It seems more likely, however, that the antique furniture craze has more to do with it. Shrinking from the conven- tional metal and wooden beds of their parents, the wives of this generation have combed rustic Ams» erica and Europe for the four-posts er and the throne-type of sleeping arrangement, These commonly re- quire a climb of two or three feet hefore the weary frame can stretch recumbent, Keep Up With Pep RACING--romping--laughing--abundant energy all day long when their day begins with Kellogg's Pep for breakfast, What a treat is Pep!
