Social Service Council Worker At Rotary Club Oshawa Rotarians ,at their regu- lar weekly noonday luncheon yes- terday, were privileged to hear a most instructive and enlightening address given by Mr. T. B. McCul- loch, of London, District Secretary of the London Branch of the Social] Service Council. Mr. McCulloch gave a detailed outline of the work dealt with by the organization lay- ing special stress on what had been accomplished. Social Service workers, he pointed out, had been responsible for ob- taining allowances for widows, orp- hans and illegitimate children. The Council had done since its organiza- tion, what numerous other bodies had attempted to do and had not done. simply because they were able to get churches, the Y.M.C.A. and other religious institutions behind the movement. Mr. McCulloch is a fluent speaker and the Rotarians] greatly appreciated his remarks. He| was accompanied by the Financial Secretary of the Provincial Council} who is spending a couple of days in! Oshawa doing some organizing and] meeting many of the business men. sesss 2b 11 16 26 36 20 26 28 12 pra s .

D, Preston attending from Osh- awa, Over 100 prominent men interest- ed in this movement were in attend- ance, Hon, Dr, Mapion, Fort Wil- liam; W, M, German, K.C., M.P,, Welland; PF, A, Keefer, ex-M.P., Port Arthur; J, Harris, M.P., East York; Mayor Wilson, Windsor; Mayor Paul, Woodstock; Mayor Sta- cey, Oshawa; Ald, Somerville and Burgess, Toronto; Controllers Jut- ten and Morrison, Hamilton, and Mayor Stacey, and R. D, Preston, Oshawa, were amongst those pres- ent, Under the auspices of the Welland Board of Trade the party visited the new Welland Canal, and were shown the gigantic locks, 80 by 30 feet, It is proposed to put locks of similar size in the St, Lawrence, which will open the waterway from the locks to the sea. Mayor Stacey, speaking to The Re- former, was of the opinion that by making it possible for the large vessels to come down the St. Lawrence and through the Welland Canal that it would mean millions of dollars to the western farmers who will be able to ship their grain by water at 7 or 8 cents per bushel cheaper than by rail, which means prosperity in a larger measure for the farmers and consequently for the country. He also maintained that the sale of power under the new: scheme would be sufficient to meet debentures sold for the completion of the undertaking. Hon. Frank Keefer and Dr. Man- ion, speaking at a banquef tendered to the visitors at the Hotel Reeta, voiced the enthusiasm which the of Canada is showing in regard to the deep waterways project. NEWSPAPERS USED AS FUEL. Take a sheet of the newspaper and crush it into. a ball then fill a washtub of these (first filling half full of water) and allow to soak over night. Next morning press all | water out of each ball and pack hard, shaping as near round as pos- sible. Now place balls on cement walk or drive, in the sun, and let remain until baked hard and dry--the hot- | ter the sun the better. A great number of these can be | made during the summer months and surely prove of real value in the winter when the coal runs out and the next delivery is a few days late. These burn beautifully in an open | fireplace and are so much easier | for the busy housewife to handle, besides being cleaner than coal. Mowat Avers Car | (Continued from page 1) car had recently been placed in a To- ronto garage to have the brakes re- paired. He produced statements and bills from various garages to prove the assertion. Dr. Kaiser, who attended the lad, stated that on arrival at the home Market of the boy's parents he had quickly | made an examination. Heé saw at a glance that the lad was appfoaching death. There were no marks on the body with the exception of one or two slight abrasions. He believed that the boy was bleeding intermal- 1y. Before he had a chance to pro- perly diagnose the case the child died.

Further Opposition "In this matter of substituting a scheme whereby councillors would be elected by a general vote in favor of that of the ward system my opin- ion is that it would be 2 poor move," declared R. D. Preston. "Under the ward system a man becomes convers ant with the particular needs of the ward which he represents. 1 believe that if Mr. Mason's suggestions were adopted that certain sections of the town would receive more attention than other districts. Inasmuch that the position of a councillor is one from which no salary is derived, it is unreasonable to assume that a man would devote time to the detriment of his own business to make exour- sions all over the town to agquaint himself with the meeds and regaire- meats of the various districts. "In regard to the size of the council, I am convinced that it is mot too large. If any improvements are to be made along this line I would suggest that of segregation, or, in other words, the formation of additiomal committees. I have suggested this because a great deal of civic business is done by these committees, es- pecially so is this true in the case of s {investigation and preparation of all forward movements."
