OSHAWA AGAIN BENEFITS BY McLAUGHLIN GENEROSITY Oshawa residents of once more have | "cause to realize how fortunate they are in having among them such pub- | " le-spirited folk as the McLaughlins. , The latest benefaction from this fam- fly, this time given by Mr. George W. McLaughlin, is the handing over of the Union Cemetery to the Town of Oshawa. With this goes a gift of $500 to be used as the nucleus of a und tor the upkeep of the City of the Dead, Such a gift, coming so soon after the snlendid donation of the money to build the maternity wing to the; hospital by Messrs. R. 8. and George _W McLaughlin, serves to emphasize | the deep and continued interest these] men have in the welfare of their Jlowmen and in the town generally. During the last two or three years Mr. McLaughlin has not only been buying in the siock of the company con rolling the cemetery, preliminary | but! to making the gift to the town, he nus virtually transformed the place. A few years ago little atten- tion was given the care of the ccm - tery, so much so in fact, lic men were ashamed of it. Dividends were stopped, and the in- come has been turped hack to im- "prove the property. something in which directly or indirectly interested, the people are grateful to Mr. Laughlin, not only for this mark of generosity to them, but for his interest in the cemetery dur- ing the last few years. vuw tha: the Council has accepted the gift from Mr. McLaaghlin the special committee appointed has its everyone is Me- work cut out to determine the best | Whether | method of operating it. this should be done by a commission, a board of governors, tee of Council, as is done torily in some places, the Commit- tee must decide in the light of infor- mation it secures. The method is adopted the should be put on a straight is one, however, that should be lowed. THE NEED FOR DIVORCE COURTS Senator Proudfoot, Chairman of the Senate Divorce Committee, in presenting a review of the work of that body strongly recommends that action be taken at the next session to establish divorce cou'ts in Ontario and Quebec. As chairman of the committee, Senator Proudfoot knows that they have been swamped with work hearing the petitions for divorce this ses- sion. And he sees no likelihood of the number of petir growing fewer. Rather does he expect the number will increase. In urging the establishing of di- vorce courts, Senatcer Proudfoot gave some interesting figures in sup- port of his recommendation. -For the present session there had been 139 notices of intention to apply for divorce, and 113 presented to Senate. for this seasion, ions the The committee heard 104 petitions, recommended 102, reject- ed two, one was withdrawn, and eight were not prosecuted. Of pe- tions heard 63 were from husbands and 41 from wives. Ontario fur- nished 105 applications and Quebec eight. In 1913 there were only 36 applications for divorce; in 1919 the number had 1lacreased to 56, while in 1920 there were 100; last year 111 and this year 102. A year ago a bill was introduced in Parilament to provide for divorce counts in Ontario and Qubeec. It was killed, however, as it had the united opposition or Quebec mem- bers, as well as of several members from other provinces. It will be | noticed that all the applications for | divorce come from Ontario and Que- | bec. This is because in the other provinces, with the exception of Prince Edward Island, which is so small that it has no divorce peti- tions, there are provincial divorce courts. One argument used against estab- lishing divorce courts in Ontario and Quebec, is that 1t would make easier the securing of divorces. Such is not mecessarily the ease. It is not suggested that divorces should be granted except on the grounds al- ready recognized by Parliament. \ N that pus-| During | last three years this has changed.
