Times JAMES HOLDEN NEW TRACTOR AND ROAD MAINTAINER ARE WELCOMED County Engineer Says Prob- lem of Road Upkeep Much Lessened (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, April 30.--The new 30 horse power caterpillar tractor and road maintainer, purchased this spring by the Ontario County council have proved welcome ad- ditions to the county road equip- ment according to Engineer D. J. Kean, Over 150 miles of county roads have to be cared for and En- gineer Kean has found the problem of road upkeep considerably lessen- ed through the use of modern and adequate machinery. Although practically all the townships have been using tractors and maintainers for the past few years it remained or the 1929 county council to pur- chase the necessary machinery for the county. Last year the county rented the town of Whitby's tractor for several days. Engineer Kean pointed out that there were over 150 miles of road in the county system and additional mileage was added from year to year. Practically all this is gravel road so that maintenance was a big factor in retaining a good country road system. Each year the county roads bore a heavier trafic and it was therefore necessary 'for the county to possess adequate mach- inery to cope with the situation. In the days of horse-drawn vehicles road upkeep was comparatively sim- ple. Once a road had been graded or scuffled it would remain in good shape for a considerable period as the light buggies and slow-moving wagons inflicted little damage. Now, - however, heavy vans and trucks used these roads and their hard rubber tires created deep ruts, especially during the spring months, The work of the maintainer was considered very satisfactory by the county engineer who pointed out that it has an advantage over a single or double-blade grader inas- much as it stirred the surface more through its multiple blades. Two men were required to operate the tractor and maintainer, he said. ELECT TRIAL IN .

RUSSIAN DANCER'S GIFT IS REFUSED Moscow, April 80.--Madam An- na Pavlova, the celebrated Russian dancer, has been snubbed for help- ing her less fortunate comrades in the ballet of the Moscow State Opera. During the last ten years she has been sending an annual gift of $500 to help distressed dancesr here, and an equal sum to the Mar- insky Theatre ballet in Leningrad. Her charity has now been dis- covered by the Communist who manages State theatres, and the small 'unofficial committee of three which administered the fund has been reprimanded and its members threatened with the loss of their jobs for their "tactless- ness" in accepting aid from the "emigree dancer Pavlova, the darling of the wicked capitalist audiences in Europe and the Unit. ed States." It has been provisionally decld- ed to send back to Mme, Pavlova the $750 still undistributed, but "Trud," the official organ of the Soviet trade union movement, says that it would be '"'more sensible and more clever" to hand over the sum to the Red Army. STATES WILL NOT RECOGNIZE SOVIET Washington, April 30.--The Hoover administration is' not con- sidering recognition of the Rus- sian Soviet government. This fact was disclosed today when Matthew Woll, vice-president of the American Federation of Labor, made public a reply of Sec- retary of State Stimson, sent April 16, to a communication strongly urging that the Soviet government LLOYD GEORGE PROSPECTS IN THE ELECTION (Continued From Page 1) of newspaper speculation has arisen concerning the constitutional posi-. tion which might possibly arise fol- lowing thé election, as set forth by Rt. Hon, David Lloyd George, Lib- eral 'leader, in a speech on Satur- day. He then challenged Premier Baldwin to say whether he would advise his majesty to call on Labor to form a government in the event the Conservatives are defeated and Labor hag not an absolute major- ity. he Liberals would neithe¥ en- courage nor countenance any move to put the Labor party in power, he declared. Conservative newspapers profess to see no dificulty. The Morning Post says Mr, Baldwin would be entirely justified in doing what he did in 1924, namely, continuing until he was defeated on a vote in the: house of commons, and then Lloyd George would have to choose between turning out the Conserva- tives and pulling in the Socialists to the ruin of his own party, .as the late Lord Oxford and Asquith did. The Star, radical London evening paper, suggests that in such circum- stances no party ought to stand apart from an agreed program "covering that wide field of politi- cal action in which there is already a large measure of concord between the best elements in all parties." Any Combine Possible The Manchester Guardian, long an advocate of a Liberal-Labo: pact, says any combination is the. oretically possible, even one be- tween Labor and the Conservatives, but "it ig difficult to see how such could work, even if on the most limited program. The Guardian thinks it rash to accept the senti- ments on co-operation already ut- tered by Mr. Lloyd George and Philip Snowden, former Labor Chancellor of the Exchequer. Speaking last night, J. H. Tho- mas, former Labor home secretary, declared Lloyd George's question to Premier Baldwin on this matter showed that Lloyd George at least appreciated he himself would be at the bottom of the heap. 'Further, it 'shows that notwithstanding all Lloyd George has been saying about Premier Baldwin it was to his gov- ernment, he also said, that 'bad us they are we must look, for good- ness sake, to be saved from the wicked Laborites,"" Mr. Thomas went on. "That by the way is from the great Democrat--the great champion of progress." Joynson-Hicks Confident "I think we shall return with a majority of between fifty and sixuy over both the other parties," de- clared Sir William Joynson-Hicks last evening to his own constituents of Twickenham. The home secretary twice lost his way to the meeting first being driven to a Labor rally, and then to an operatic performance. CORRECTION MADE : BY MR. FINLAYSON Denies He Would Ask $10,- 000,000 For Northern Ontario Next Year (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Toronto, April 30--Hon.

On the lawn of J. H.H. Jury, Mr. Moore showed his attentive and interest- ed audience how to prune roses of all kinds, hydrangeas, lacs, syrvu and many other well known shrubs.

Shrubs treated were those which are pruned before flower- ing. Some time in June Mr, Moore will return to illustiuiu ue care which should be given to those shrubs which are pruned af- ter flowering . It is to be hoped that many others will avail them- selfes of this opportunity to get advice from one eminently quali- fied to give it.

How the true char- acter of Joan is finally revealed and Richard's honor estored was well portrayed by the earious characters. Madeline Tooley was exception- ally good as Joan Van Pelt and the part of the brothers, Jack and Richard was well taken by Cliff Baker and Collen Leslie.

Herne, as Granny Day, Jim's mother, and Dorothy McMil- lan as Honora' the Irish house- keeper, were well received, as wus also Albert Walker, the indulgent father of - Jack.
