The total attend- auce at the high school was 191, the largest in the history of the in- stitution, The hoard is now faced with the need of purchasing new desks for both high and public schools and forty additional chairs for the as- sembly hall of the former, Many of the trustees thought that there were indications that more class , J would have to be built in the near future. Congratulate Athiates Trustee Geo. Ross who attended the inter-school meet held at Osh- awa, last Monday, remarked upon the wonderful showing made by Whitby High School on this o¢- casion, with the result that, for the third time in succession, it wou the Bassett trophy. The hoard thought some ap preciation should be expressed and upon motion of Trustee John Lar- kin, seconded by Trustee A, T. Lawler ,the secretary was instruct- ed to forward a letter to Principal Archibadd congratulating him, his staff and pupils, upon the success attained in the inter-school games. Night School Principal Sennett, in charge of the night school, reported that there are six classes in operation with a total attendance of 45 stu- dents.

C. BF, McGilivray, secretary, raised the question with regard to the Tamblyn prize fund. The money has been imvested im municipay = which will not bear interest until next year and it will be neces- sary to have the money available for the prize mext winter, The board was pleased with the gemer- ous support givem by the citizems in raising the necessary money for the restoration of the fund and Mt was thought that it could easily care for the prize this year out of the current expenditures. Badminton The matter of allowing the high school teachers the right to play badminton in the evenings im the high school gymnasium, was in- troduced by Trustee Walter Dung, chairman of the property com- mittee, He stated that the teachers were willing to pay $1 a month for the light used and considered this a reasonable offer, The board was informed that anyone was welcome to play but it was decided that he gymnasium should not be used un- less there was a teacher in attend- ance, After authorizing the purchase of a new Underwood iypewriter for the commercial department of the high school ,the board adjourn- ed.

What might appear legal in the eyes of the local police, 'he wayis- trate sald, might not be regarded in the same light by the provincial police. Gets Cash Value W. H.

Byrd, U.S.N., turned his face this after- Jaen town his newest adventure n e ice-encrusted South Pole, Yeglans of the The departure was a gala event. In addition to the thous- ands of citizens who crowded the Western Oil and Refining Com- pany's docks, military, naval and civie officials, led hy Mayor Cryer, were on hand to express a formal "bon voyage." The giant whaling ship, CO. A. Larsen, mother ship of the expe- dition, which is to convey Byrd and his party to the bottom of the earth, was aflutter with flags and bunting, as were other vessels in the harhor, In hidding adieu to the shores of the United States Commander Bird despatched an official report of his departure to Secretary of the Navy Wilbur, who yesterday telegraphed the famed aviator-explorer his best wishes, In this report he indicated he did not expect to see his native land again before July, 1830, The expedition, which emhraces 82 members, will cost approximate- ly $1,150,000. The money was raised by contributions from all paris of the United States. A doz- en or more scientific societies will obtain reports from Commander Byrd, The primary purpose of the trip is to make accurate maps and procure important meterological and other data of the South Polar regions, Commander Byrd explained that it is in no sense a "dash'" to the Pole. Others have heen there be- fore. Tt will he a business trip with enough adventure to keep it interesting. The mother ship will join the three other ships of the expedition in New Zealand waters, arriving some time In November. From New Zealand the entire par- ty will proceed to the Antarctic and establish a base and operate from there. Byrd hopes to fly over the South Pole as he did over the North. HON, MR, VENIOT CLAMPS ON LID Information Refused on Dis- missal of Veteran Otter- ville Carrier Ottawa, Oct. 11.--Hon. Peter Veniot, Postmas)er-Geperal, apd L. J. Gaboury, deputy Postmaster- General, have left the capital for Is Your Child Thin and Weak? McCoy's Tablets Put on Flesh and Builds Them Up In. just a few days--aquicker than you ever dreamt of--these wonder- ful health building, flesh creating tablets called McCoy's Cod Liver Extract Tablets will start to help any thin, underweight little one. After sickness and when the chil- dren are exceedingly puny they are especially valuable.

Try these wonderful tablets for 20 days and if your frail, sickly child doesn't greatly benefit you get your money back. Ask Jury & Lovell, J. B. Mit- chell, W. H.

The officials say the responsibility for such ap- pointments is on the Minister apd his deputy and it is for them to justify them to the public, Attention of the officials was di- rected today to the case of Luther Hussey, rural mail carrier, Otter- ville, Ontario, who was refused re- appointment after 15 yéars' satis- factory service. No information or explapation was given by the off- cials, who simply stated, "this is a matter for the Postmaster-General to deal with, Until he approves of publication of the details of the awarding of the contract, we feel we are not justified in giving them to the press." Officials Timid The senior officials in the postal service have been fim the depart- ment for many years, and are effici- ent and not partisans in any sense of the word. It is felt if Mr. Ven- jot cam disregard the Civil Seryice Act in the outside service, he may in the inside service, and this, no doubt, fis the explanation of the timidity of the officials in giving the facts before the Postmaster- General publishes bis own version. muted violin full symphony - - every note.
