VOLUME 80 --No. 115 ent Aid To The nemployed Hon. Mr. Ran Pay One-third of Food, and Clothing for rried Men Out of Work » Dominion Government ; to Do Its Share are Association, Will | with All Requests The 'Rrury Government, minus Mr. Drify, on Thursday announced its deel to co-operate with the municipalities of the province in taking esre of those who, through no fault of their own, are unable to secure employment, and, as a result, are destitute. The decision was conveyed to representatives of the municipalities during the course oI a conference, attended by an officia of the Federal Governmegt -- who came with assurances that the Do- minion would do its share. The plan outlined is simply an extension of the arrangement under which the province agrees to pay one-third of the excess cost of municipal works undertaken for the purpose of providing employment. Where employment cannot be found for a man, and the munjeipalicy assumes the responsibility offtaking care of him and his famjly, the province Will pay one-thir of tae amount so spent. This aid, how- ever, will mbt be given as a set-off for anything spent by the munici- pality in the way of cash doles, but will cover. expenditures for food and fuel, underclothes and boots. The arrangement 'will cover only married men, but unmarried men are to receive 'some consideration. No decision has been reached upon this point, but the direction of the discussion at Thursday's conference suggested that! the -Gowernment might pay one-third toward expen- diture on food. The point is made that provision for shelter can be made by the municipalities with comparatively litte difficulty in the case of single men, and in Hamil- ton and Brantford considerable pro- gress has already been made. . No Independent Supervision Hon. W. E. Raney, in anpouncing what had been done, stated that the Government would not exercise any independent supervision over the ex- penditure of the money, relying up- on the eflicieney, of the civit organi- zations. No limit has been placed upon the amount ot relief to be giv- en, nor has the plan been restricted . to the larger centres of population where the problem is most pressing. Any municipality that has an unem- ployment problem that cannot be met by furnishing work on civic un- dertakings, ete., can take advantage of the Government's offer. One thing the Gevernment will insist upon, and that is that relief *aust not be given to those who will not work. It is dikely that a con- dition of obtaining relief will be the presentation of a registration card from an employment bureau. showing that the holder has applied for, but could not be given, a job. Locally, the machinery, while the same procedure as governed last year, will be in force, it has been simplified. Last winter a certificate of inability to secuge work had first to be secured from the Government Employment Bureau, which was then presented to the ciyic relief of- ficial. The system has been simpli- (Continued on page 6) EGGS DROP 2307S. INLAST FARNIGHT Hens Are Laying Again--De- - Moming The hens are laying and 'eggs have come down in price.

There wore 50 sat down to an excellent supper, prepared by Miss D. Miller, honorary member of the Executive Committee, and her assistants. Need- less to say the boys did full justice to the splendid repast. After the supper an address ol welcome to the visitors was given by Rev. C. F. Stent, these including the rector, Rev. C. R.

After adjournment was taken to the hall auditorium, a program, in- cluding a number of addresses, was carried out. These who spoke were Mr. Petley, Mr. H. Stafford, and Mr. J. H. Smithers. The first speaker, Mr. Petley, re- ferred to the Christmas season just passed, stating that it reminded us chiefly of a time of giving because of the supreme gift of Christ to the world. The speaker asked the boys tc emulate the example of Christ, who early in life grew in wisdom, stature, favor with God and with man. Mr. Petley likened life to a trail with the church as a sign-post which In order to follow must be blazed. Christ, it was pointed out, had blazed the trail of a perfect life which all boys should strive to follow. Mr. H. Stafford rendered two very beautiful - poems, one "Little Bap- tiste," by Dr. Henry Drummond, poet of the Habitant; and the other "If," by Rudyard Kipling.

LAKES T0 OCEAN WATERWAY FAVORED BY A JOINT BODY rE rar-- Charles A.|Internaticnal Commission Favors i | Great St. Lawrence De- velopment Scheme The projected St. Lawrence sea- way to bring ocean ships directly to Great Lakes ports is approved by the International Joint Commission rep- resenting the United States and Canada in a report transmitted sim- ultaneously to the United States Sec- retary of State and the Ottawa Gov- arnment Friday, according te a Washington despatch which will be learned with interest loeajly. The commission recommends that the project he undertaken jointly hv the United States and Canada. with- out delay. Accompaniring the com- mission's recommendations is a re- port by the waterway engineers de- scribing the undertaking in detail and estimating its cost. The action of the commission is to be referred to Congress, which, advocates of the project hope, will consider the wa- terway measure at this session. The plan provides for 23 miles of eanalization of the St. Lawrence River at a cost to the American and , Canadian Governments of $252.725.- | 900. The cost __of the underfaking | would be recovered from the sale of electric power developed at various points along the seaway. According' #0 the report signed {by the engineers, the proposed wa- terway would be about 120 miles long, from a point opposite Prescott. Ont.. and Ogdensburg, N. Y., at the eastern tip of Lake Ontario. ta Mont- real. 2 The locks favored by the engi- neers were declared canable of de- veloping 1,750,000 horsepower. This would be more than twice the 700.- 000 horsenower now generated at Niagara Falls. Thirty feet is the depth favored by the engineers. KHAKI To India, by way of England, we owe the word "khaki." There was a sect of Brahmins--and it is still in existence--who applied the ashes of cow dung to their clothes and per- sons. They were called "khaki" be- cause of that coloration--or discol- oration. The word was naturally ap- plied to 'the earthly or clay color in the uniforms of soldiers or sepoys by the British Government. Hence the protective light-chocolate dry em- ployed in British military uniforms. ~ COMING EVENTS _ | PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, SUN- { day morning, 11 a. m., Sacrament of the Lord's Supper. 115-a BUSINESS MEETING MARY ST.
