(By Staff Reporter) Whitby, eb, 11.--~The Whitby Chamber of Commerce, in its cam- paign for new industries, might consider a proposal which has been adopted in several Ontario 'towns and cities, namely that of erecting a building to house small industries. This building is com- monly referred to as an 'icuba- tor'" the word being in a sense most appropria.e as large manus facturing concerns might be "hatched" in such a building, A representative of a Quebec company. desirous of locating in Ontario stated recently that the lack of accommodation for a small 'industry is a serious obstacle which might be encountered in moving here, If however the muni- cipality possessed a building sucn as is owned in other communities space could be leased to any in- dustry at reasonable cost. Small industries would then be encour- aged to establish in Whitby and under favorable circumstances might develop into larger com- panies, The merits of this suggestion might well be considered by the Chamber of Commerce, If the 'building were to be erected at 'the cost of the municipality then 'responsibility for action would rest 'with the town council. : BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING WEDNESDAY SURRY. | (By staff Reporter) Whithy, ¥ebh. 11.--The first reg- ,ular meeting of the Whitby Board ot Education is being held in the council" chambers next Wednesday 'night at eight o'clock, The statu- tory meeting of the board was held last Wednesday night and commit- tees were appointed. une of the first matters of importance to be decided relates to the appropria- tion which the board must seek from the council for educational purposes.

Robert Forke Says the Railways Bringing Out too Many Ottawa, Feb, 11, -- Immigrants from Continental Europe in 1929 would probably be double the number which the Western Prov- inces had indicated would be necessary for farm work, Hon Robert Forke stated fn an address before the Y,M.C.A, here recent- ly, The recent restriction on the number of farm laborers from non- preferred countries brought to Canada under the railways agree: ment would reduce the amount to one-third of last year's total, but there would still be a greater in- flux than could he comfortably abe sorbed Drift to Cities The depar.ment's complaint was that the railways were bringing out larger numbers than the de- mand indicated, Although they were intended for farm work, it was found that they did not stay at their intended destinations, In fact we find them in the towns and cities in Eastern Canada," Mr, Forke sald, Large numbers of them drifted over to the United States or back to Europe, in ten years, from 1911 to 1921, imfigra.jon amounted to 1,780, 688. When the census was taken in 1921 it was found that the total foreign-horn population of Canada was only 368,775, It was appar- ent therefore that in that period over 1,000,000 immigran.s .had left the country in addition to those who had died, "Let me emphasize the fact that British immigration is much more welcome than any other kind," the speaker said. this was indicaled by the fact that Canada was spending $16 to bring out every British immigrant, whi.e for the foreign immigrant the cost was only 11 cents, Mrs. Anthony Fokker Jumps Fifieen Stories to a Tragic Death New York, Feb, 11, -- Mrs, Viola Fokker, 35, a native of Canada, and wife of Anthony H, G. Fokker, dcsigner and manufacturer of Fok- ker monoplanes, was killed recent- ly when she jumped from a win- dow- of their apartment on the 15th floor of No, 285 Riverside Drive, to the sidewalk in 101st Street. Her body narrowly missed hitting a passerby. Mrs. Fokker had been a patient in the Presbyterian Hospital, where she was attended for a nervous dis- order. She returned home late in the afternoon. She suggested to Mr. Fokker that thev dine out in the evening and later dressed in an evening gown, but changed her mind and decided to stay at home. Mr. Fokker had servant pre- pare sandwiches nd coffee. He and Mrs. Fokker dined and then she feclincd on a sofa to rest. Her nurse went to an adjoining room. Soon after Mrs, Fokker said she felt ill and requested Mr. Fokker to order the maid to get her a glass of water. When the mraid returned a few minutes later she found the win- dow of the room open and Mrs. Fokker had disappeared. She hur- ried to the living room to inform Mr. Fokker. Meanwhile Patrolman Davis of West 100th Street station found Mrs. Fokker's body lying half way over the curbing at the 11st Street sidewalk of the building. After Dr. Murphy of Knickerbocker Hos- pital had gone through the formal- ity of pronouncing Mrs. Fokker dead, Mr. Fokker, who already had sensed the meaning of the open window, was told of the death of Mrs. Fokker and then the body was taken to the West 100th Street sta- tion.
