New High School Plans Meet With the Approval Of Bowmanville Board NEW EDIFICE WILL COST IN NEIGHBORHOOD OF $100,000 Board Will Apply to the Council for Funds to Carry on Work (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, Jan. 29.--For many months the High School Board of Bowmanville has been spending a lot of thought on providing room for the increasing number of pupils. Within recent years the attendance has doubled and cloak rooms and the attic have had to be converted into class rooms until now it is im- possible to carry on with the present uilding. After visiting some of the newer schools and carefully examining plans submitted by 6 or 7 architects who make a specialty of High School building, a plan has been adopted that will utilize the present handsome building, which was built 38 years ago for 3 teachers, by adding an en- tirely new front. This will give the town a modern High School in every particular with an up-to-date gym- nasium, an assembly room with a seating capacity of 500, 2 science rooms, class rooms and all the latest conveniences including the best there is in the way of ventilation and heating. The School Board is considering the establishment of a commercial course for which there is a growing demand in this community. While some towns of similar size have spent much larger sums, the School Board here, after considerable investigation, are assured that all this can be secured for something less than $100,000. ; In connection with above, on invi- tation of the High School Board, members of the Town Council paid a visit to the school on Monday evening, January 28th, to talk over the question of an addition to the s¢hool, meet the architect, Roper Gouinlock, and look into the plans, also to see for themselves the neces- sity of more class rooms and other accommodation. The proposed addi- tion will provide ample class rooms, an up-to-date gymnasium and an as- sembly hall and will fully modernize our high school which has always had the record of being one of: the best in the Province of Ontario. The probable cost of the new addition as stated above, will be somewhat fess than $100,000.

'he School Board should have un- dertaken this work two or three years ago but have put it off from year to year until now the increased attendance makes. it absolutely nec- essary to have further accommoda= tion and more modern equipment to meet the requirements of the inspec- tors and secure the continuance of the government grant, ANNUAL MEETING OF ST. JOHN'S CHURCH Thanks Extended to Socie- ties for Their Valubale Efforts (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville Jan. 29.--The annual vestry meeting of St. John's Church was held in the Parish Hall on Mon- day, January 28th, with a goodly number in attendance.

Votes of thanks were accorded to the officers and societies for their excellent work during the year, and this was followed by a keen discus- sion as to ways and means whereby the influence of the church can be deepened and strengthened during the current year. The officers for the year 1929 are as follows: Rector"s Warden, C. B. Kent; people's warden, T. H. Spry; vestry clerk, T. Annison; treasurer, R. M. Cotton; representatives to Synod, T. Spry, L.

ASSAULT CHARGE 1S DISMISSED BY THE MAGISTRATE MAN COMPLAINED OF WOMAN BEATING HIM WITH ROLLING PIN Magistrate Told John Keyes That Woman Had Right to Eject Him The case wherein Mrs. Mary Baluk, 232 Olive avenue was charged with assaulting John Keyes at the home of the former on January 24 was dismissed by Magistrate Willis of Whitby in city police court this morning. Keyes, the complainant, contended that Mrs, Baluk struck him three times with a rolling pin with no ap- parent cause for such an action and felt that the incident demanded the court's attention, According to Keyes, he had tele- phoned the Baluk home upon in- formation given him by a friend that he was wanted by the defen- dant's husband, Walter Baluk. Fur- ther corroboration of this fact was said to have taken place over the telephone when Keyes spoke to Mrs. Baluk. So without further ado Keyes went to the Baluk home to learn more about the wysterious message awaiting him there, And then the events began to hap- pen. Keyes said he stepped into the kitchen to find Mrs, Baluk there, Mrs. Baluk, according to evidence produced, ordered him out of the house. Keyes is said to have refused to go stating that he was a Cana- dian citizen, and not obliged to do SO. Mrs. Baluk says she used a mop, Keyes said she used a rolling pin, but the result of the misunderstand- ng was that Mrs, Baluk opened the door, and proceeded to eject Keyes from the house. In so doing, Keyes managed to be struck several times about his person. In summing up the case the magis- trate stated that Mrs. Baluk had a perfect right to eject Keyes after he had been ordered to leave the house, and wouldn't go. He further added that she was quite right in using sufficient force to complete her course of action, and that according to evidence, he did not think Keyes had had an invitation to the house in the first place. PREMIER MAKES REPLY TO SINCLAIR (Continued From Page 1) icy and forecast events for me that 1 do not like to interfere with the pastime.' He continued: 'I. do not know why Mr. Sinclair should say there will be an election before October. The matter has not been consider- ed by the Government and is not in the mind of anybody in the Govern- ment, "'As to the financial statement of 1929, the public will know what it contains b:fore there is any elec- tion, and I am quite sure there win be no deficit.' Problem for Wiseacres "The Premier's last sentences brought out the pcneils and date books. Last year the financial statement was made public on Dec. 6, having taken some time to com- pile it after the closing of the bool:s at the end of the fiscal ycar. "The political wiseacres are now trying to figure how an election could come before October if the financial statement is going to be made first--or if Premier Fergu- son has not something akin to the E"nstein theory of relativity up his sleeve that will enable him to pro- pound an annual fiscal statement before the fis-al year is ended, in order to meet the predictions of Mr. Sinclair." MAIL SERVICE 1§ DEPENPENT UPON (0-OPERATION in Gibbon Househo'ders Street District Must First Number Homes That postal delivery by mail car- riers will positively not commence in the Gibbons street district, as r-lated in yesterday's issue of The Times, until numbers have been placed on the residences of the streets surveyed for the service, is a statement issued by F. T. Math- ison, Oshawa postmaster. In men- tioning several other instances re- lative to tlie matter. Mr. Mathison stated that the house owners are far too lax in providing suitable convenience for the disposal of mail when it is taken to the homes. Accomodation must be provided for mail either through a slot in the door or by a mail box outside. The former idea is considered the better, Mr. Mathison said. The cost of establishing the box- es and placing the numbers on the hom<s has to be entirely borne by the individual owners. Surveyors who have been working on the streets in the district for the last week have completed ther plang and it but remains for the resi- dents to do their part to complete the arrangements.

Well, we always | thought Toronto looked upon Osh- | awa as rather a warm-hearted city. The explanation for the birds' change of residence, according to this Toronto writer, was that the ducks and geese seemed to know in the fall | that little winter was "in sight for some time, but that with this cold snap they were travelling cast and south to a warmer climate. His conclusion, that their carly re- turn may be looked for with a return of wild weather at the new moon carly in February, is interesting--if true!

The temperature, however, was 16 above zero, Incidentally, Oshawa had the same temperature range as Vancouver ves- terday. The thermometer dropped to 12 degrees above zero, while the highest reading was 22 in Oshawa and 24 in Vancouver. The mean tem- perature of the day, 16, was 6 below the average, for this time of the year. The first sign of a possible let-up of the nice cold weather we've been having, is seen in today's probs for the prairie provinces, "not quite so cold." It's just possible the milder weath- er may travel east.

Rev. Canon de Pencier convened the meeting. In the reports frem the various committces it was shown that the receipts for the year amounted to $14,618.97. That is the largest amount re-eived as far as may he ascertained in the history of the church. In vie® of the fact that the parish of St. George's church has been divided into three parishes within the last year since {he erec- tion of two new Anglican ehurcunes in the city this report is especially faverable. A report of the attend- ance and finances of the Sunday School was also given. The reports of the Women's Guild, the Woman's Auxiliary, the Junior Auxitiary, the A. Y. P.

'which culminated last] vear in price-cutting and low pro-! fits. As this industry is vital to the] welfare of great numbers = of our| people, the premiers of Quebec and Ontario found it advisable in Novem- | ber to summon the various, paper in- | terests to a conference and the oui-| come will probably be some system! of fixing prices and rationing the! output until the demand again over-| takes the supply. For the iuture,| clese official notice will doubtless be taken of * all proposals to extend] capacity.
