The event was held primarily in honor of Mrs. Margaret Burns, of Didsbury, Alta., who has been visiting friends and relatives in Ontario for some time, but it developed into so suc- cessful a family reunion that plans were made to hold it as an annual event. Towards this end, James Leask, of Port Perry was elected president of an organization to take charge of next year's reunion. The oldest member of the party was James Leigh, eighty years old, and guests were present from To- ronto, Leaskdale, Taunton, Port Perry, Greenbank, Wick, Bowman- ville, Seagrave and Oshawa, The gathering assembled about two o'clock in the afternoon, but guests kept on arriving until the supper hour, when a dainty repast was served on tables rear the band- stand. After supper, a sports pro- gram arranged by Oscar Baird, of this city, was presented. Nelson Baird was in charge of the ar- rangements, and the picnic was so pleasant and successful an event that all present are looking for- ward to next year's reunion.

MILL STRIKE N NEARER TO PEACE (Continued From Page 1) of the employers' wage committee eration, the employers last night made clear tah they were ready to meet the workers for negotiations at any time. The employers will even go a step beyond, and make the over- tures to the employees if that is the wish of the latter. In that eventuality, a Joint conference would be called. The Cotton Waste Spinners' As- sociation was drawn into the ais- pute yesterday when it was stated that it would also strive for wage reductin. A meeting of employees and employers will be held today. A Labor official said yesterday that the only ones who were entit- led to unemployment money were those who are employed in the mills, and who are prevented from working because of the ditpute. The instance quoted was the trans- port workers, on A QUIET DAY For the first time in a number of weeks, the police court this morning was without a case, which speaks well for the city's behaviour. The fire de- partment also went without calls for the last day. A PECULIAR DAHLIA A rather unusual dahlia has been grown in the garden of C. A. Well, 147 Clarke street. This flow- er is really three in one, for it has three stems, joined together, and three flower heads, in full bloom, all joined back to back so as to make a three sided bloora.. This peculiar specimen was brought to The Times office as a real freak of nature. Crashes on Roof Brussels.--An army aeropplane flying at a great height yesterday burst into flames and crashed on to the roof of a shop in Tirlemont, causing a fire, in which the pro- prietor was burned to death before he could. escape. The pilot, his clothing afire, with a parachute jumped from the plane, landing in a field, only slightly hurt.

CANADA'S STORY 15 TOLD IN PICTURES Slocum Lodge Children Pre- pare Book to Be Sent To Japan Montreal, July 31.--As a present to the : Japanese children of the Junior Red Cross: at Gifu, Japan, a book of pictures is being compiled by the children who are cared for by the Ladies' Benevolent Society at Slocum Lodge, St. Lambert, Every- thing that tells of Canadian life, par- ticularly in Montreal, is represented in this book, which is how almost completed. It was begun last ycar. "We are sending this hook to the Junior Red Cross of Gifu in return for a similar one received from them," Miss Flora Liggett, superin- tendent of the home, told a Star re- porter who was shown the book, "It is part of a scheme of correspondence between schools of all nations," she said, "and since our language would not be understood we are telling the story in pictures." The book opens first with a niz- ture of King George V, followed by views of the Federal capital. Th:n a photograph of the Fathers of Con- federation faces a page of postage stamps used during the Confadcra- ticn year, and a page or two of or- dinary postage stamps follow these. Montreal's Share All places of interest in Montreal --schools, churches, libraries, and public buildings and monuments are illustrated by colored postcards. Montreal in days gone by is pictured in old prints and newspaper cuttings. Slocum Lodge, and the winter home in the city are shown in photographs and drawings. To give the Japanese children an idea of how people in Montreal dress in winter and summer, the children have taken cuttings from fashion] plates and magazines, and have past- | Falcon, ed in the book colored pictures of Canadian children going to school, skating, toboganning, playing tenais, | baseball and every sport known Canada. Some beautiful colored plates ii trate the birds of Canada, Christmas cards, reproductions of pictures by Canadian artists like Caron and Cote, show winter scencs in Montreal at Christmas time. The industries have not been omit- ted. Photoraphs of tapping the trees for maple sugar, damming the wa- terfalls and rivers for electricity and the operations of the lumber trade tell their own story. A fitting end to the book is a man showing the distance between Mont- real and Gifu, how long it takes to get there, and the route by which the book will travel when completed. in | | Wr, Stock Latest Financial News Market Summary Canadian Yoronte and New York ok Quotations Supplied by Proes Stobis, Forlong and Co.

Balson, was the' victim of a painful accident yesterday morning. Harvey and his. older brother, Gerald, were planning to go picking berries 'and were driving a Chevrolet. It was ne- cessary to crank the car and Harvey offered to do this. He got the crank partly turned when it flew backand hit him on the arm breaking a small bone in his rigfit arm. Dr. H. W.

Fewer: Prisoners at Jail Toronto.--There were seventy fewer men held in the Don jail and on the Jail Farm on July 24, this year, than last year. This year's figures show that 137 male prison- ers are in the Don jail, and 257 are in the Jail Farm, as compared with 484 men in the two establish- ments jointly last year. The num- ber of women prisoners remains the same as last year; the women are far outnumbered by the men, for there are hut 51 women incarcer- ated. ; THE WRECAGE OF THE DEATH CAR Above is a photograph of the wrecked automobile in which Charles S.

Speakers are advertised as F. Rosenbetg, National secretary of the Young Communist League and H. Murphy, national secretary Auto Workers Union of Canada. No permission has been asked of the authorities for the use of the park for this meeting, and, conse- quently, none has been granted, A letter was received from the com- munists this morning that declared the meeting would be held, but ask- ed no permission from the authori- ties. ' Despite this fact, however, Dr. F. L. Henry, chairman of the Parks commission, and Chief of Police Friend stated today that no effort would be made to prevent the holding of the meeting. The authorities - will stand by, and while a police officer will be on duty at the park, as is the custom when any meetng 1s be- ing held, the Communists will be al- lowed to carry on- in their own way, unless they create too much of a dis- turbance. Should rioting start, how- ever, or any destruction of property take place, prompt measures will be taken, the Chief of Police said. US. MAY REFUSE T0 FIX CHANNEL li Deepening Near Would be Contingent on Larger Plan BARGAINING MOTIVE Ottawa Accepts Report That Co-operation Cannot be Expected ' Ottawa, July 80.--United States is not inclined to join with Canada in deepening the St. Lawrence riv- er unless it has the assurance that Canada will eventually go ahead with the deep waterways project tO the sea. A report to this effect is circulating by officials of the de- partments affected as definite. With téerminal works now well under way in Prescott to accommo- date the big grain boats from the upper lakes as soon as they are able to use the Welland ship canal, the prospect of the United States refusing to do sufficient widening of its channel in that portion of the Thousand islands where the steamboat course is in U. S. waters for these boats to reach Prescott, it is feared the big boats will not risk the channel unless the widening is done. The tenders were opened by the public works department for the Canadian section which re- quires the removal of nine shoals near Brockville. The tenderers agree to have a channel 25 feet deep and 450 feet wide in that vi- cinity by July 1 next... The por- tion it was expected United States would do is in the vicinity of Al- exandra bay and consists of widen- |! ing a present 350 feet channel to in the neighborhood of 600 feet. It is understood that the U.S. govern- ment takes the position that the present channel is sufficient for its needs and sees no reason why fit should spend some $2,000,000 wid- ening it unless the deep waterway project goes through. The domin< ion government is not ready to give f such assurance. Suggestions For Solution Government engineers here are giving deep consideration to the situation. There are several sugges- tions for meeting the difficulty, Of course the present 350 foot chan- nel near Alexandria bay would. be BILL POSTING ON Chief Friend Issues a Warn- of the long arm of they refrain from using posts, hydro poles and tree trunks for posting bills advertising games, on more than one occasion warnings against this practice and he has henceforth those who offend in this manner will be prosecuted. will 'be no second chance and any parties desiring to use this class of advertising will be doing so at their own risk. authority has been given at any time which would allow organizations or societies to placard hydro standards and trees with their announcements.
