A. L. Richards, B.D., the minister, officiated, assisted by the Rev. P. L. Jull, of Brooklin. Mem- bers of the Masonic Order from 'Whitby, Brookiin, Oshawa, Bow- manville, Port Perry and Picker- ing, who attended in a body, as- sembling at the local temple and marching to the church, occupied the centre pews. As the casket was brought into the church, the large congregation rose while Robin Nicholson at the organ played the Dead March in Saul. The service was brief and im- Rev. A. L. Richards in his ad- dress referred to the fact that the late Mr. VanValkenburgh had served for over twenty years on various public bodies of the town, rendering the highest type of ser- vice. Whitby was therefore the better because he had lived and because of what he had been able to do to advance its interests, The place of such a man would be hard to till. The minister made reference to the fine character of deceased, to his faithfulness in all things, and the example he had left to those remaining. His death even at his ripe age was a reminder of the brevity of life and the surerfess of death. Rev. Mr. Rfchards had a word of comfort for those left behind to mtterances of Christ while on earth were the only true assuraices ol immortality and of the joys await- ing those who had served Christ faithfully and well while in the flesh. Because Christ lived, we too would live, immortality wag sure, as was also the hope of glory. There was eveky reason to believe that even mow deceased had seen Christ face to face and if we could comprehend tho joy shat now was his we would not wish him back.

CHICKEN THIEVES AT WORK IN TOWN Two Citizens Report Heavy Losses to the Chief Constable The loss of a number of valu- able chickens on Friday night has been reported to Chief Gunson by two citizens of the town, W, Hall and J. Lee. In each case pens were cleaned out, only a few birds con- sidered by the thieves to be not worth carrying away being left. Chief Gunson and Provincial Constable Thomas Mitchell con- ducted an investigation on Satur- day and are still working on some clues. Chicken thieves are still active in the district, although not so many thefts are being reported. This is perhaps due to the fact that farmers feel that reporting thefts docs very little good as few thieves are ever caught.

In Kingston on Friday night the Limestone city boys came out one ahead ' after a That was after Bowmanville had had a 129-mile trip by bus which {s bound to affect them some and with the odds reversed tonight, the score should also be reversed. Tonight's game should be one of the best of the season as Mike Os- borne informs ns that the R.M.C. have a real team and play a nice clean game. 'The winner of to- nizht's game will have to play Pet- erborough on Friday at Bowman- ville or Kingston and we figure that the game will be in Bowman- ville. The referee for tonight's tilt will be Ernie Parkes, of Tor- onto, who also refereed the two Port Hope games last week. If you want a good view of the game tonight it will be found advisable to get to the rink early as Port Hope is bringing a good crowd and the usual large following from Oshawa can be expected.

PORT HOPE BOOSTS FOR BOWMANVILLE The following is from the Port Hope Guide: Despite the adverse score of four to three in Kingston last night many local and district fans are still banking on the Bowmanville team, winners of the local group to emerge from the first play-off with the total score in their favor. The closeness of the score indi- cates two well-matched teams and theré is the certainty that the Ca- dets are in good condition. There is also the certainty that the Bow- manville boys will use thelr terri- fic checking to good purpose on Monday night. There will be another packed house at Taylor's Arena on Mon- day night for the return game, In that crowd will be many from Port Hope and all will be anxious to see the Lakeshore winners prove to be the better team.

For the convenience of residents of Bowmanville living in the west end, the Oshawa Dally Times will be on sale starting tonight at Mr. Jewel's store, formerly the Big Twenty. This is being done at the request of several residents of that part of the town who have to come to the east end to get their papers. The Oshawa Dally Times will still be on sale at W. J.

But the reports go even further sug- gesting a new basis for battleship parity between Britain and the Uni- ted' States wheih, it is stated, would give the United States four sea mon- sters armed with a total of 33 16- inch guns, while Britain would have only the present Nelson and Rodney 'battleships, which altogether carry 18 16-inch guns. American headquarters today con- firmed these reports, saying the Uni- ted States wanted some equivalent of the world's greatest battleships, Bri- tain's Nelson and Rodney, each of which carry nine 16-inch guns, The proposed American battleship would be a substitute for the present Ark- ansas class, carrying 12 12-inch guns. Probably these representations are the subject on which Premier Ram- say MacDonald and Col. Henry L. Stimson, chief United States. dele- gate, were conferring this afternoon. n---- Plenary Session Tomorrow London, Feb. 10.--National delegations to the Tive power naval conference primed their guns to- day for a plenary session at St. James' Palace tomorrow at which it appeared probable the first real battle of the conference would be launched. The fireworks were expected to break around submarines, Great Britian, the United States and pos- sibly Italy will propose aholition. France and Japan will defend re- tention of the submersible as "the poor man's battleship", and a necessary defensive weapon. Just who will open the attack on the armored destroyer of the depths will be decided some time this afternoon. It was expected originally Premier MacDonald would make the opening speech but another report said that Dino Grandi, Italian foreign minister, would spedk first if Italy decided to vote with the United States and Great Britain. The defense will be represent- ed by Andre Tardieu, French prem- fer, and Reljiro Wakatsuki, head of the Japanese delegation,., The Japanege, although just as firm, are not expected to be as loud in their advocacy of retention of submersibles as the French prob- ably will be. Agreement Unlikely Frankly, neither Secretary Stim- son nor Premier MacDonlad have any idea that they will be able to sound the death knell to the under sea boat, but they intend to leave no doubt as to the attitude of the United States and Britain on the subject. If they are unable to abol- ish, they at least want to draw the teeth. of this iron shark of the depths sp that he will be left as inoffensive as possible. Premier Tardieu will attempt to meet this attitude halfway by pro- posing an agreement té "human- ize" submarines. The United States and Great Britain will insist that it this craft is to remain as a naval weapon it will be limited as to size and cruising radius, Reljiro. Wakatsuki already has sald that Japan is willing to dis- cuss proper limitations since she considers the submarine a defen- sive eraft only a pofition which is natural in view of Japan's great distance from any other power. French 'Views Expected While tomorrow's session at St James' is principally for the bene- fit' of the public curiosity, the submarine question is expected to occupy the conference during the entire week. In addition to his speech tomorrow it was reported in some quarters that Premier Tardieu might later in the day is- sue 'a statement on France's gen- eral viewpoint, a statement which probably would be comparable to those last week of Secretary Stim- son and Prime Minister MacDon- ald, Figures for the United States, France and Great Britain on sub- marines show that the United States has 122 of the craft with five more building. France has 52 with 47 building. Great Britain has 653 with ten building. Japan has 64 with seven building and Italy has 43 with 14 building. . . lo Simple Glycerin Mix od od Stops Constipation The simple mixture of glycerin, buckthorn bark, saline, etc., (Adleri- ka) acts on BOTH upper and lower bowel, relieving constipation in 2 hours.

No Reason For Panic Ottawa, Feb. 10."I see no reason for getting panicky about the whedt situation," said Hon. C. A, Dunning, minister of finance, this morning. "There is no more wheat in storage now than there was at this time last year," he added. Warning From Cutten Chicago, Feb. 10.--Arthur W, Cutten, prominent operator in the Chicago grain market, has ex- pressed himself emphatically as op- posed to the federal farm board's effort to maintain he price of wheat in the market through the Farmers' National Grain Corpora. tion. § "Foreigners are not going to buy North American wheat at ar- ticially high prices," said Mr, Cut- ten last night. "We seem to have forgotten how incensed this coun- try became when England tried to regulate the price of rubber through monopolitic methods, Tite European feeling toward us is somewhat similar, but more in- tense, because 'that is the staff of life." "England's effort to regulate the price of rubber failed, and failure is the only result I can sce for effort to maintain the price of wheat in this country above its value as established by normal conditions of supply and demand. "The quickest way to get wheat up to higher price than it brings at present is first to allow it to seek the lower level at which for- eigners will buy it in volume, They are well aware of the wheat situation in this country and can- not be frightened into feverish buying when they believe there is a super-abundant supply.

The idea of scien- {8 [1] tific management would have to be included into the owners. The work- ing class in that industry was sup- pressed, the owners were defeatists, he said.

No doubt .about it, the unemployment problem in Britain was the most acute ques- tion today. The speaker condemned both Premiers Baldwirt and MacDor- ald for not dealing with the matter in a firmer way. The chance came to Mr. Baldwin in 1926, when he was the only man who had public con- {| fidence after the general strike.
