PROSPECTS GOO D Prospects are bright for a very favorable week-end from the standpoin. of weather, The weath- erman predicts that it is going to be fair and cold today and tomor- row, and so long as it is fair no one cares how coid it beconies, There is a probability of a fresh fall of snow on Sunday night. GAME WAS POSTPONED The Oshawa Shamrocks vs. Petervoro junior O, H. A, fix.ure, scheuuled last night for the Whit- by arena, was postponed due to the fact that there was water on the ice. Another reason for the post- ponement was the dangerous cons dition of the highways which would have necessitated a very difficult journey for the Petes. Cold weather has assured a good ice surface for today and there will be skating as usual tonight. COUNCIL CAUCUS The city council met last night in closed session, as a, committee of the whole, to discuss the legis- lative program for the year. Most of the major items that it is ex- pected will face the council during the year were given consideration, and a free discussion of the mat- ters prevailed, A probable result of the caucus will be the passing of motions dealing with some of these questions at subsequent coun- cil meetings, INFORMATION ON ROADS The Chamber of Commerce, as headquarters of the Oshawa Motor Club in affiliation with the On- tario Motor League, is receiving numerous calls for information concerning the condition of the road and highways. In some cases requests are received for details concerning highways throughout the whole southern half of the province. Although the bulletin service from the Motor League stopped in December the Motor Club here has been pos.ed on the conditions of the roads, and in- formation in this regard may be obtained by getting in touch with the Chamber of Commerce head- quarters here, car last} 'HAD PAINFUL ACCIDENT Miss Jane Leake of Solina sus- tained a painful accident this week hen she slipped on the ice while eaving her home to visit a neigh- bour, and suffered a fracture of the hip.

FORTIFICATIONS OF PARIS DISAPPEARING The disappearance of the forti- fications around Paris, which are gradually being flattened out, will destroy something of the unity of the city, for a town ceases to have the same personality when fits lim- its are no longer defined by a wall writes a correspondent ""The London Sunday Observer," One of the el ts which have hitherto combined to preserve this unity 1s that at present not a single one of the thirteen tentacles of under- ground railway which radiate from the center of Paris goes farther out than the circumference which the fortifications define. Some of the tramway lines reach the outer suburbs, as do the motor bus routes, and these two services have dome so still more since their control was unified in 1920. Subur- ban trains also run, of course, from all the big main line railway stations. The terminus of the Metro in every direction, is still, however, "Porte" something or other. All this is to be changed in uext few years. No fewer than fif- teen lines are to branch out from the points at which the Metro touches the present boundary. They will run in every direction except due west, for on that side the Bois i de Boulogne is a permanent buffer between the most elegant resident- ial quarter of Paris and the sub- burbs of Suresnes and St. Cloud, on the other side of the river. With recent additions to elevator Montreal On the St. Lawrence route to the old land, from the ports of Montreal and Quebec, there were handled in 1928 2 total of 136,143 westbound passengers and 62,046 eastbound passengers, 2 very large on the Canadian National Railways increase over the previous year. | Big River branch.

CO-OPERATION OF NEWSPRINT MILLS ANARDS GIVEN BEST NEWSBOYS OF THE DAILY TINES INTERESTING FUNCTION HELD IN TIMES BUILD- ING YESTERDAY OBITUARY DEATH OF MARY McCORMACK The death occurred at the Osh- awa Hospital yesterday afternoon of Mary McCormack, eldest daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs, Wm, McCor- mack, 323 Albert street, in her 19th year. The deceased girl had been ill for several weeks, but her death came as a great shock to her parents and friends. The sympathy of many has been extended to the Billie Mason the First Prize Winner in Circulation- As an acknowledgement of in- dustry and a desire to give service on the part of the newsboys of the Daily Times, an interesting func- tion was held on Friday afternoon in the newsboys room Times building, where they were assembled for the presentation of the prizes awarded to the leading boys in a contest based on their rec- ords in securing new subscribers, and giving service to the readers of the newspaper. The noys had taken keen interest in the contest and the chief winners were given hearty applause as they recived their handsome prizes. The presentation was made by M. Mcintyre Hood, editor of The Times, who addressed the boys, stressing the value of learning, in their youth, to give the best ser- vice of which they were capable so that, in later years, this habit might help them to become suc- cessful men, Mr. Hood congratu- lated those hoys who had won prizes, saying that it showed that they had taken a keen interest in their tasks, and urged them to en- leavor to continue this right through their lives. The Winners The special prize of a toboggan ber of points was won by Billie Mason, with 230 points, He also received a bathrobe, a hockey stick and puck as his awards, The lows: 2nd -- Basil Sawyer, toboggan, 220 pointe. 3rd--Bert Martin, sweater coat, 210 points, Clair Deitrich, 170. Scout flashlight, MAY BE SOLUTION Jttawa, Jan. Co-operation | between the Canadian mills is the solution to the present newsprint | problem, not the placing of an ex- ,port tax on pulpwood, according | ito R, O. Sweezey, director of the Lake St. John Power and Paper | Company, and of the Port Alfred Pulp and Paper Company. He is' here primarily in connection with the Beauharnois power project, "With $750,000,000 invested in the newsprint paper business in Canada, the industry has every right to command the attention of | all those who think," Mr. Sweezey | sald. "It is costing the industry some forty million dollars a year because | some people haven't been thinking far enough ahead. Efforts have been made to 'beat the game' of suppy and demand. "But the outlook is not so dark as it may appear. With the right | kind of co-operation, Canadian plants should be well on the up- grade again within 12 to 15, months." ALBERT STREET UNITED CHURCH | OPENS TOMORROW a ! | (Continued from Page 7) ) about a year ago plans were laid for the erection of a mew church to accommodate both the increas- ing congregations and the fast growing Sunday school.

E.

Therefore be it resolved that | Government be re-| spectfully requested to discontinue the imposition of double taxation ang with this end in view that the income tax on incorporated com- panies be gradually reduced to 2 per cent. Resclution No. 2 Whereas local improvement taxes at present are not allowed as a deduction in arriving at income for the purposes of the Income War Tax Act. And whereas this places taxpay- ers where works are comstructed and paid for by local improvement taxation in whole or in part, at a disadvantage compared with a tax- payer in a municipality whieh con- | structs such works and pays for them out of general taxes and leads to unfair and unjust conditions in the application of the income tax. Ana whereas under modern con- ditions most local improvement taxation is for the benefit of the whole community, at least in large part. Therefore be it resolved that the Domirion Government be respeet- fully requested to alter its present nractice so as to allow taxes paid for local improvements as an ex- penditure under the income War Tax Act just as other municipal taxation is now allowed.

A wonderful record of progress was reported at the fifty-fourth an- nual meeting of The London Life Insurance Company, More than ane hundred million dollars of new life insurance was written by the Com- pany's field force within the Dom- inion of Canada during the year, This is almost twenty millions greater than the business of any previous year and represents an increase of 23 per cent, over 1927 and is approximately twice the percentage made by all the Come panies in Canada combined. The amount of insurance in force was increased by $56,136,323, bring- ing the total up to $352,042,076. The gain for this one year is as much as the' total business of the Company amounted to ten years ago, so ra- pid has been its extension in recent years. The London Life maintains its record, doubling in size every 4 years, The total assets which now amount to $50,817,791 are safely and profitab- ly invested, the average rate of in- terest carned on the entire list dure ing the year being 6.504 per cent, The healthy condition of the investments is indicated by the fact that wit) mortgage loans numbering 6,000 an exceeding $30,000,000 in amount there are only 19 cases totalling $35,000 which .are either held under foreclo- sure or show interest in arrears for more than one year, The policy reserves are cumputed on the highest standard in use in the United States or Canada for companies of a similar mature. The surplus, for the further protection of policyholders, was increased f $784,784 during the year 1928, After providing all funds necessary to meet Government requirements and with- out including the capital stock and the excess of the market value of securities over the book value, the surplus funds amount to $7,250,000, POSES AS SOLDIER DECLARED A FAKE Son of Man Reported Killed . Accuses Prisoner of Being Impostor Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. Jan. 26.-- Waiting trial on a series is alleged to have added another case to the long list. Yesterday W. G. Manning, purs- er on an ocean liner, reached the Sault to investigate a claim that Russell was his brother. He de- clared the man in jail to be an im- postor. Before Russell was sentenced to | five years on ua charge laid by a young boy, he is said to have writ- ten Capt. Lionel John Manning, of | Anglesey, North Wales, stating that he was the Captain's son supposed to have been killed at Bapaume, France, fn 1918. Capt. Manning ic over 70 years of age. The let- ter stated that the long-lost "son" needed $500 to cover liabilities in the Sault and get Ottawa interested in the case. The money was to be sent to the Soe barnch of he Bank of Montreal. The writing bore such a striking resemblance to that of the dead soldier that Capt. Manning asked his son to come to the Sault and investigate. Manning yesterday not only de- clared Russell an impostor but said he gave absurd of his | father and members of his family, Died GARROW--In Oshawa, Saturday, January 26, 1929, Alexander Lorne Garrow, - beloved years.
