Members of the commuit- tee who were present included _ Councillor J. H. Ormiston, chair- man, and Mayor Dudley. The committee also inspected the old frame building situated at the north end of the park and decided that with very little cost it could be converted into suitable dressing rooms. The building will there- fore be needed in the park and for this reason it may net be loaned to the' Whitby Lawn Bowling and Ten- nis Club as hitherto suggested. Football, baseball and girls' soft- ball are the games which will re- celve most attention in the town |' park this summer and the property committee is endeavoring to see that none of the games conflict. An attempt may also be made to build a track around the park as it is thought that this 'would prove of benefit in the development of field athletics. b Ontario County Reach, Uxbridge and Scugog Townships Threatened With Insect Pest, Most Dreaded by Farmers -- May Need Another In- spector in County (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, May 11.--The corn bor- er, most dreaded of all insect pests has invaded three more townships in Ontario county according to warning received hy the special agricultural committee of the coun- ty council from the Department of Agriculture at Toronto, Hitherto this enemy of corn had confined its operations in the southern extreém- ity of the county, including Picker- ing township, Whitby and East Whitby townships. Now, however, there are signs of the pest in Reach, Uxbridge and Scugog townships. The county council will probably be faced with the necessity of ap- pointing an assistant to the pres- ent cornborer inspector, Oscar Downey when it meets for the June session. The agriculture comimit- tee; including Warden Adam Dob- son, reeve of Cannington, George Sweetman, reeve of Scugog, John Ross, reeve of Thorah, Jas. Reid, reeve of Uxbridge, and John Mor- rison, reeve of Rama, held a special meeting at the court house here today and and recommendation to this effect will probably come from the committee. Strict measures have been en- forced in the southern section of the county during the past two years in order to combat the spre«d of the corn borer. Each spring farmers must destroy their old corn stalks so that the larvae of the bor- er may be killed. In spite of these measures the pest still flourishes and takes a big annual toll of the crops.

Thig amount is being spent in re- pairing the eastern extremity of the breakwater, or as it is referred to in the government's estimates, the "entrance pier." A total of $2,633,300 was voted by the House last night for im- provements of this nature. Other ports to bemefit include Hamilton, Collingwood, Port Burwell, Port Colborne, Port Dover, Port Mait- land, Windsor, Cobourg, Kincard- ine, Toronto, Kingston, 'Little Cur- rent, Owen Sound, Port Stanley, Sarnia and Rondeau, Hon. J. C. Elliott, Minister of Public Works, pointed out that the consistent development of Ontario's lake portg made it imperative that facilities be kept in a state which would not hamper or embarrass this progress. It may be noted that no provi- sion has been made in the estimates for repairing the remaining section of the breakwater which is now in very bad condition. A communica-~ tion was recently addressed by the town council to the Department ot Public Works called the depart- ment's attention to the situation as it now 'exists. Town Clerk J. R. Frost stated today that no reply had been received to date. This work could be included in the supple- mentary estimates, however, as the work now under way was decided upon last year in this manner. ---------- DEATH OF D. E.
