, THURSDAY, JANUARY 9, 1930 PAGE NINE FLOOD MENACE IN ONTARIO IS OVER FOR THE PRESENT; Colder Weather Comes And Halts Rivers on Rampage Toronto, Jan. 9.--Rivers of On- tario broke their winter bonds yesterday and went on sn unex- pected January rampage. But be- fore 'serious damage had been don th rain stoppd, wintr rturn done the rain stopped, winter re- i turned and the waters ceased rih- ing: Welland experienced the worst flood since 1906 when waters in- vaded many cellars, put out fur- nacés and inundated streets. Port Hope was saved from a third ser:- ous deluge in lesh than a year when policeand citizens, working frantically, succeeded in dynamit- ing an ice jam that was forming at 'the bridge. Merchants were busy moving stocks from their cel- lars when the ice jam was broken and the danger passed until spring. «In the Thames valley thewater was fallinglast night, trail of damage. Reports of wash- edout culverts, flooded cellars and submerged roads followed the three days of heavy rain. At Lon- dbn flood conditions created an un- usual situation at the county jail. er rats, driven from their haunts along the Thames embank- ment, have invaded the century- old prison by the score and present an-'unpleasant problem. Galt Reports Record Galt reported that the break up of the Grand was the earliest in 72 years. In 1906 the ice went out on Jan. 21. After the two floods last spring, merchants in Galt expressed relief that the riv- er had cleared without damage. Less trouble is expected in the spring as a result. Floods halted flying at London and forced cancellation of east and west bound air mails when the landing fields became miniature lakes. Humber Flood Abates With the coming of colder wea- therand the cessation of the heavy rain of thep ast three days, flood conditions in Toronto's suburban areas have assumed lessalarming proportions.

HOOT GIBSON AT | THE NEW MARTIN Humor is an essential part of all good western pictures, according to Hoot Gibson, who latest Universal thriller, "The Long, Long Trail" comes to the New Martin Theatre today. . Gibson has created his own type of westérn picture, which is always well spiced with humor ntfs freg from melodramatic exaggeration. "The old West had 1s own par- tieular brand of humor," said Gib- son, "and we are mere ly serving interests of reality when we' inject it into pictures. Westérn humor as a rule was of a dry nature, well il lustrated, for instance, in Owen Win- ster's Virginian". 4 "Horseplay also had its part in cowboy life, the jests being boister- ous but harmless. Many of them may sound childish, when enumerated," said Gibson, "but they all go to make up the generdl atmosphere." | the the In adition tQ humor, there is plen- ty of action in "The Long, Long I'rail."

CORRECT ENGLISH Jan. 7th, 1929. To the Hditor of The Daily Times » In one -of your editorials of the 6th inst, you appear to be in com- plete agreement with the American professor who 'states the English are the poorest exponents of cor- rect English, of all English speak- ing people. You endeavour to strengthen the case by playing the Scotch' against the English and cite Ramsay McDonald as an example. Also pointing out the fact that there are some Scotchmen who are teachers in the universi- ties. In the first "place 1 would point out that McDonald left his native hearth in his early teens and I would say acquired most of his knowledge while in England. The second point I think is some- what in the nautre of begging the case, More data is needed before an assertion of that kind can be made. Your inference of course was that most of those positions were held by Scotchmen, While I admit the existence of these dia- lects in' PFngland, I would point out to you the same applies to Scotland, It certainly would be bet- ter if all the English speaking people could adopt one common lingo, then alll those wso speak English would have to eliminate from their speech those words which are generally figurative, but are actually slang. Yours, ete., Doncashire. WHAT IS HE TO DO? Dear Mr. Editor: Before Christmas a parcel was delivered to our house, from .Eng- land, addressed Mr. George Lald- ler, 127 Celina St. This being our address but not our name we at- tributed it as a natural mistake, s0 returned it to the post office labelled in 'big bold letters wrong address. What was our surprise when a few days later the same parcel was again delivered to us. Once again we returmed it to the post office thinking the busy season had made the post office employees dizzy. We have again had this parcel delivered to us. Now you know Mr. Editor this might go on and on for years, so would it be criminal for us to ac- cept it as a gift from the post of- fico, or should we hand it over to some responsible party such as the police? 4A lay Law Abider THORNT ON'S CORNERS Congratulations are due Harold Pascoe for successfully passing all hig Christmas examinations at the 0.A.C.
