Lockie Wilson and Past President Chris Fretz at the annual meeting of the Ontario Vegetable Growers' Asso- ciation in-the King Edward Hotel yesterday, "If the Government at Ottawa continues to turn us down in this matter," Mr. Wilson stated, "there is just ome other remedy, and that is to elect a Government that will take action." Use Subtle Method Mr. Fretz proposed attacking the problem from another angle. He would forget all about tariff and demand that the Government "keep the bugs out." In other words that American vegetables be kept out by regulations based on the alleged necessity of the danger of injurious insects being brougnt in on imported products. Heavy Imports In the last 12 months, ending December, Mr? declared that while Canada exported agri- cultural to the value of $57,172,000 to the United States, we imported $103,983,000 worth from that country. Im othes words, while we exported products to the value of 50 cemts . per capita of population in United States, we brought in $10 worth per capita of our population, ROBERT FRASER RETIRING FROM BAKING COMPANY G. L. KIRKWOOD, OF PETERBORO TAKES HIS PLACE Will Devote His Attention Entirely to His Amuse. ment Enterprises Robert Fraser, prominent business man of Oshawa and former presi- dent of the Robert Fraser Limited, bakers and confectioners with bran- 'thes in Oshawa and Peterboro, has resigned as head of that company owing to the pressure of other busi- ness duties with which he is connect- ed, Mr, Fraser has been president of the company sincg its inception, and has carried on a successful business, G. L. Kirkwood, of Peter- boro and manager of the Peterboro branch of the company has stepped into Mr, Fraser's place and will henceforth. mgnage the company Arthur Guest of this city has risen to the position of vice-president, Mr, Fraser announces that new finances are being brought into the company and that his former posi- tion in that company would require a greater amount of personal atten- tion than he would be at liberty to give it, The Oshawa Winter Gar- dens, of which Mr, Fraser is owner and general manager has been con- ductéd by him for several years, and together with the Jubilee Pavilion at Lakeview Park which has been leas- ed by Mr, Fraser, will take the greater part of Mr, Fraser's time, A Plans Expansion Indeed, a program of greater ex- pansion has already been outlined by him in connectiofi with these two amusement places, and it is believed that with his personal attention they will develop into havens °bf first class pleasure resorts. In an interview with The Times this morning, Mr. Eraser declared that a great part of his attention this coming symmer will be occupied in Lakeview itself. This summer park with every facility to make it an even more popular resort than it now is, will reccive the result of Mr, Fraser's wide experience, To Encourage Tourists He will endeavor through his con- nection with its central attraction, Jubilee Pavilion to make it popular, not only with Oshawans but tourists also, This tourist idea, Mr. Fraser has forseen, has great possibilities and it is Mr. Fraser's hope that Lakeview Park wil Idevelop into a well-known spot on the landscape where tourists will seek out for rest or pleasure, Contrary to rumors that he will leave the city, Mr. Fraser stated that he has more reasons for remain- ing here than perhaps before, al- though he is still a heavy stock- holder in his former company.

Next Move Up to Booth The couneil's action puts the next move squarely up to General Booth, He has alread fyled pro- ceedings questioning the legality of the 1904 deed poll, under which the council functions. Commissioner Evangeline Booth received only 17 votes against 43 for Commissioner Higgins. Ballots Cast in Secret The election of ballots were cast in seerét, whereas the earlier vote removing Gen. Booth from com- mand was entirely public. The cgun- cil made a special point of emphas- izing that the latter action was due entirely to General -Booth's ill- health, The high council, having con- cluded the business for which it was called, was automatically dis- solved. Members of Booth household at Hadley W. refused to com- ment on the swift events of the day which have brought the affairs of the Salvation Army to a new cli-- max. It is considered significant that none would admit defeat. DEATH OF WIZARD MAY END DISORDERS Kharium, Egypt, Feb. 14.--In- formation received here of an at- tack on a column of British troops by Neur tribesmen near the Pyra- mid of Dengkur on the Upper Nile. The tribesmen were repulsed, and among their 18 dead were Gwek Wonding, a wizard, and three oth- ers of his fraternity. There were no casualties among the British. The killing of Gwek is ex to end most of the troubles in the Neuf country.

The boy on the extreme St. Valentine Day Places - Heavy Strain on Postmen as Old Festival is Observed Nineteen hundred and twenty- nine is off to a good start from the point of view of general good heart- edness. St. Valentine's Day has been observed for a good many years, and still proves as popular as dver. The postman's pack today and even yesterday and the day be- fore that has been exceptionally heavy, but knowing that he Possjb- ly might be playing the role of Cu- pid, he enters upon his daily duties with a little more gusto than usual. Many little red envelopes are shov- ed through letter hoxes, and the "postie" laughs inwardly "as he hears the patter of young feet as a general rush is made, and almost before the Valentine is through the slot in the door, "zip" and it is in a number of childish hands. But St. Valentine's Day, although it is one of the *'great days' of the year for the youngsters, contains a meaning quite significant of the meaning behind it to the older folks. To the very young it spells "childish . emotion" to the gallant couples of the 'teen age it' is the sign of "gushing young love," while to more serious minded ones of the twenties it is "hope" and to the older folks it is "remembrance." One pauses and wonders what might be the sensation experienced by the good St. Valentine were he to visit the world of valentine lov- erg this year, 1929, to witness tue popularity of the day that com- memorates his birth. According to, authorities, St. Valentine had little to do with the present method of celebration of Feb, 14, except that his day has accidently been selected for the purpose. St. Valentine met a tragic death being beheaded af- ter being beaten to death with clubs. In the days of ancient Rome, 80 runs the story, during the celebra- tion of the fcast of the Lupercalia, a unique ceremony was practiced whereby the names of young wo- men were placed in a box from which they were drawn by the men as chance directed. Leaders in the early Christian Church, eager to blot out the superstitions of pagan- ism, substituted the names of cer- tain saints instead of those of wo- men. St. Valentine's Day, it is supposed was chosen to replace the feast of the Lupercalia, which had becn celebrated about the middle of February. So St. Valentine's Day is con- tinued down through the centuries and will likely to be continued for ages to come. The postmen con- tinue with their pleasant duties; in reality. their customary work, until the day passes when they again drop back into the everyday service to the community. It was stated at the post office here this morning that more than 20,000 Valentines had been -distri- buted by the city mail carriers yes- terday, which sets a record for any previous year. More than 13 mail bags of outgoing mail were de- spatched last night when the usual number is only seven. - In many school classes this af-' ternoon were the children given a half hour "off" from regular du- tics so they might open their "Val- entine Box" and distribute the "love" tokens around. : WEATHERMAN Sr I 7 Sandman's coming round again With his little pail and spade, Making safe the icy walks Where rcemping children play. a te The thin film of snow that fell last night was sufficient to make slippery places more slippery on the city's streets yesterday. So during the day men were &dusy with pail and trowel, covering up with sand the icy stretches where Old Sol has melted the snow and it has frozen again in a slippery surface, or where school chiidren iu their ingenuity have made "slides" on which to enjoy themselves. More snow is promised today and tonight, with the prospect of easdt- erly winds. Cold weather will probably continue for a while long- er. This is a Vancouver comment: "Winnipegzers have one consolation after they become paralyzed with cold they don't feel it!" Kind of hard on the Canadian middle west, we calls it. Perhaps it is semi-justified, though. Yes- terday, while Winnipeg was get- ting weather ranging from 4 below zero to 22 below, Vancouver was basking in a thaw of 30 to 46 above zero weather. Down here, the temperature ranged from 8 to 18. "Business man will split wood free for the exercise." ad in a Tor- onto paper yesterday. A la Kaiser Bill what?

CAL BOARD IS GIVEN MUCH INFORMATION Representative of Provincial Body to Address Meeting Here (Special to The Times) Toronto, Feb. 14--Toronto "Real Estate Board warmly welcomed rep- resentatives of the Oshawa real es- tate agents to its gereral meeting held last night in the Prince George Hotel. In addressing. members of the Board, A. C, Lycett anounced that at the present time Oshawa real es- tate dealers were trying to organize a real estate board which he felt would be able to render the city of Oshawa valuable service. He hoped that members of the Toronto branch would address Oshawa real 'estate agents and: help them to organize m- to a public service body, H. L. Rogers, president of the To- ronto Board, announced himseli to be very glad that Oshawa was taking this progressive step, as he knew how greatly the nublic profited from the formation of a real estate board which is known to be comprised of men who were reliable, competent, and known for their honorable and fair dealings with the public, The president added that in a real estate board one man gives of his experiences and knowledge, fd in return receives the combined know- ledge of many. This condition makes for the giving of better service and more satisfaction to property-purcha- sers. The Oshawa dealers attending the mecging, at which an address on "Points that Pay" was made by A.

Tremendous breakers extending far out into the sea, from the barren coast of Aiktak or Ugamak Island, where the Meiyo Maru was being pounded to picces, have precented the Illinois from sending out life- hoats to take off the 25 Japanese seamen. For that reason a Lyle gun was made ready to shoot a line aboard the Japanese frieghtier. Meanwhile, Captain Richard J. Healy of the freighter Montauk, had taken 33 members of the crew of the abandoned steamer Alloway Steamer to Dutch harbor after a heroic res- cue yesterday. The crew of the Al- loway, with the gxception of one man, an oiler named Poiey, who re- fused to -leave his ship, escaped in life boats, | CITY POLICE COURT | FAMILY DIFFERENCE Purely a case of family differ- ences the details of which should never be aired in police court in the opinion of Crown Attorney J.

Mrs. Julia Czaban .laid information against her husband to the effect that he had assaulted her, and to prove her statement showed the court sev- eral injuries to the face and arm. A. F. Annis appeared for Mr, Cza- ban. Magistrate Willis was inclined to deal leniently with the case' and bound the two over to keep the peace besides placing Czaban on suspended sentence, SUSPENDED SENTENCE John Greenwood, Oshawa, was this morning given suspended sent- ence by Magistrate Willis of Whit- by, in police court, when he plead- ed guilty to the theft of coal which had run out of a coal car on the railway siding in the southern part of the city, He was placed on bond of $500. a + The appearance of Greenwood in court this morning was a climax to a number of thefts which have been committed in this vicinity lately, and which all concern the disappearance of coal from these cars, the contents of which belong to' the city. More than three tons have disappeared in this manner and police here: have resolved to stop the nuisance. Sergeant de- tectives Flintoff and McGee were assigned to the case and succeed- ed in clearing it up in record time.

TRAPPER TBACKED 15 MILES TAKEN ON MURDER CHARGE Edmonton Alberta, Feb 14.-- George Moore, trapper, was arrest- er at his cabin in wilderness, far to the north of St. Paul this week on a charge of murder, after he had been tracked for fifteen miles from where Norman Ward was shot down in the woods last week by a concealed rifleman. Moore was brought into St. Paul yesterday by Alberta police constables and will be arraigned there for his pre- liminary hearing. Expansion in the use of motor ve- hicles has been the cause of two property transfers in Fredericton and vicinity with building operations to follow, and the possibility of a | third in the future.

This old rite marks the beginning of the Lenten season. Though varying in the minute- ness of its observance and customs, Lent has been, since the Apostolic age a time of penance and seli-de- pial, to commemorate the 40 days fasting of Christ in the desert and as a preparation for the triumph of Easter. To Roman Catholics, Lent im- plies fasting and abstinence. Meat is not allowed on Wednesdays and Fridays, and on other week-days it may be served only at dinner. The former custom of mot serving fish and meat at a same meal has been abandoned. And fasting is compul- sory, between the ages of 21 and 60, on every week-day unless a dis- pensation be secured. In the Church of England, Len- ten practices of fasting and abstin- ence are not compulsory, but they are recommended by the Book of Common Prayer. Anglicans of High Church leanings maintain a strict adherence to these venerable tra- ditions of the Church. According to the reformed code of canon law, mo dispensation is now ded for r 1 mp- tion of 'eggs and dairy products, whereas, in the old days, butter and cream were not tolerated, unless a special permission was obtained. Roman Catholics are also invi to refrain from dancing, and going during Lent, and it is cus- tomary for many to also stop drink- ing, card playing and smoking dur- ing the 40 days. Schools Improvement in Health of Children. is Largely As. cribed to Supervision and Attention of School Den tists ; PRESERVATIVE CARE ee Dr. S. J. Phillips Outlines Plans for a Gradual Ex- tension of the Benefits of School Dental Service Special notice is drawn to a marked improvement in the gen~ eral teeth conditions of the pupils attending Cedaruale schoo: and the deparate school, the last two schools to be brought under the supervision of the school den.al service, in the annual report of vr, 8, J. Phillips, . supervisor of Dental service, to the Board of Health, this improvement in the oral hea.th ot tne chiiaren is due to the supervision and atten.ion given in these schoois during the last year by the school dentists, states or, Phillips in his report, The year 1Y23 was the seventh year that the school dental ser- vice has been in operation in the Oshawa schools, tne last three years being under the Board of Health and the first four under the Board of kducation, Distinct Resulis Another distinct result of the schoo: uental work, said Dr. Phil- ups, was the fact that the first permanent tooth, known as the sixtn year molar, is standicg on a much better ground and maxing a better showing than in previous years, '"these first teeth of the permanent set,'" said ihe report, "are showing, as a rule, much bet- ter teeth health, and requiring less drastic treatments than previousiy, all of which goes to show the value «0 the city of Oshawa of a Public Health aental program." Preservative Care The school dental service is gradually becoming one of preser- vative dental care, rather than an emergency extractive or destruc- tive one, This is a definite step forward, the report declared, The routine detail treatment and em-~ ergency care of the teeth is be- coming less and less needed, and more time can be given to pre- ventative work as the service gets on a firmer foo.ing, the report said. Aim at Extensions An aim of the school dentists, Dr. Phillips continued is to assist in the gencral health program of this city and to spread out the dental service into the pre-school group of children, at the health clinics, etc, These children would then be given a dental survey be- fore the commencement of tae school: term in the holiday season with the giving of any treatmgnts advisable, so that the children's oral health would be on a better plane when they entered school. In spite of the good work that has been done, however, which has succeeded remarkably well in improving the tooth conditions of the children, it is pointed out in the report that an average of 68 per cent, of the children now at- tending the public ~ schools still need dental attention of some kind. The dental report further says that this could largely be avoided with more intensive work among the pre-school children, for it is from 2 to 6 years of age, that by far the largest proporiion of den~- tal trouble originates. £ During' the year, it was found necessary to add two dentists, Dre.
