Mr. McLaughlin also attended a farewell dinner to Sir Henry Thorn- ton.

The entire meet- ing was full of life and enthusiasm, and an inspiration to all missionary society workers privileged to enjoy it. than one half of those employed in Oshawa are employees of the Gen- eral Motors Company, the fact that the local products received such a warm reception is a personal tribute to the skill of local workmen. Ap- proximately 1,500 people visited the exhibition each day. This display at- tracted thousands of visitors. Lord Birkenhead purchased two Buicks at the show in Thurlow Place. One was a roadster and the other a large closed car, In opening, Mrs. Crozier, president of the society, threw out an appeal to all workers to make the religion of Canada the best in the world, one that would exercise its influence over other countries. Mrs. Crozier said: "A country's moral standard depends on the religion of its wo- men. When that is so, we women in Canada should make our religion one that foreigners will admire, and do our work in a way that the Mas- ter if He came would find us doing our hest." This being the annual thank-offer- ing meeting and one at which a col- lection is taken for the Rest Fund, Mrs. Irwin was called on to explain in a few words the meaning of a W.M.S. thankoffering. Mrs. Irwin said: "It is only in civilized coun- tries that we find thankfulness and appreciation. And we have much to be thankful for in our country. In her home, woman reigns supreme, she is honored and loved by her own family. In heathen lands woman has not this to be thankful for. We have comfortable homes, when not far away is desolation and ruin. Mrs. (Continued on Page 8) - Smaller Cars Popular Questioned as to the type of popular with the British public, McLaughlin stated that he was im- pressed by the preponderance on emaller cars. They are narrow and low, while the wheels are small. Reason for the popularity of the small ears is the tax per horse pow- er. Taxed in this manner an owner of a Ford would contribute to the government coffers the sum of $115. Referring to body lines of Euro- pean machines the president of the General Motors said that the major- ity of manufacturers are adopting, to a certain extent, the stream line effect of Canadian and. American de- signers. Formerly the seating ar- rangements of European ears were very low. The almost upright style of seats of the Canadian machines are now being adopted.

TOWNSHIP COUNCIL MET At a special meeting of East Whit- by Township Council held at Colum- bus Saturday afternoon some dis- cussion took place regarding the To- ronto and Eastern Railway. A mo- tion was passed concerning some re- ports issued in some newspapers in connection with a recent meeting which was held in Toronto and from which representatives of the press were excluded. The report, it was stated, was not exactly correct. Arrangements were made for the forthcoming municipal elections, such as appointing serutineers and deputy returning officers. The next meeting of the council will take on December 15. Mayor John Stacey, who accom- panied the party of municipal and government officials and journalists to the Northern Fire Area on Friday night has returned. J. A. MeGibbon, secretary of the Board of Trade also made the trip. This morning the Mayor gave to the Reformer a very interesting account of his trip. Premier E. C. Drury was aboard the train and at Haileybury address- ed the representatives of the various municipalities present. There he made a speech in a temporary build- ing telling the citizens of the town what the government would and] would not do for them. Mr. Drury stated that the government would meet the town's local improvement debentures for a period of three years, These amounted to 250,000. contracted mainly by the erection of waterworks. Back the Bonds. He also promised that the govern- ment would back the bonds for the erection of the court house and the schools of the town.

Among these names were four of the representa- tives from East Whitby, others from Darlington and several from Oshawa, none of whom were at the meeting. This was explained by Council- lor Mason, who had been present, who stated that at the conference a resolution drawn up at the pre- vious meeting in East Whitby was presented, in which the names of afl delegates present at East Whitby were contained.
