REPRESENT. ATIVE--JAMES BELIEVE FARMERS WILL APPROVE OF "THE TOWN'S OFFER Council Is Awaiting Word to That Effect--Will Make + Agreement Indications 'are that farm land owners in the town of Whitby will accept the offer made by the Coun- eil on Monday evening for the set- tlement of the dispute over assess- ments and taxation. As a matter of fact, it is difficult to see how the farmers could do otherwise inas- uch as it is their own offer of set- onent which the Council has made. The Council will insist on wholesale acceptance, andgit is ex- pected that the signatures of every farmer concerned will be secured before any move is made to enter into the proposed agreement with them. There is also the provision that all applications before the On- tario Railway and Municipal Board for leave to join Whitby Township must be withdrawn by the appli- cants. : The agreement which council proposes to make with the farmers will be somewhat different from the document which was in force for many years. The solicitor some time ago advised the council that it was very contradictory, some sec- tions of it none too clear, and on the whole not very satisfactory. The new agreement will be gone into very carefully, so that all the terms embodied in it are absolute- ly clear. It will provide for an ex- emption of seven and a half mills for a period of five years, based on the assessment of 1928, which differs somewhat from that of 1929. The old agreement provided for a ten-mill exemption. In accepting council's proposal, which, as already pointed out, was originally made by the farmers, some of the latter will actually be accepting an increase in their as- sessment over the previous year, which, of course, means that they will pay more taxes. The majority of the farmers, however, will bene- fit by the agreement, and the coun- cil is hopeful that matters will now stand and be satisfactory to all ~ concerned for five years. SALARY INCREASES T0 BE CONSIDERED Town Employees Seek More Money From Council-- No Action Now The Council at its meeting on Monday evening considered applica- tions for salary increases from the town clerk, town engineer, chief of police and night constable. It/was felt, after considerable discussion, that council was not in a positien to consider any increases until af- ter the tax rate for this year had been struck and the town's finan- cial position. at that time clearly defined. The committee on appli- cation, in submitting its report em- bodying this recommendation, poin- ted 'out that'council fully realized that it was being well served by its municipal employees. . A request from the Davidson Mo- tor Company to have the lane clos- ed to the east of their building to enable them to carry out contem- Plated Jmprotements ie their build- g was referréd to the town prop- erty committee, . . Council appointed members of the Court of Revision to Hear ap- peals from the 1930 assessment rolls as follows; Mayor C. E,, Bow- man, Reeve Albert W. Jackson, De- puty-Reeve -R. M.

It is expected that there will be a large turnout from all parts of the district. Entries for the various events close at six o'clock this evening with John R. Frost. Ernest Vierkoetter, champion of the Wrigley Marathon swim of 1928, will pay his first visit to the town and open the meet and pre- sent prizes valued at $150. Mr. Cunningham, physical director of the Boys' Training School at Bow- manville, will be clerk-of the course Pand general director of the meet, which starts promptly at 7.30, LIGHT DOCKET IN COUNTY COURT Parties in Action Settle on The Suggestion of Judge Ruddy Judge Ruddy held County Court at the Court House in Whitby on Tuesday. The docket was light, there be- ing only one case, Hall vs. McFee, the plaintiff being "a well known Oshawa real estate man, The action originated, it was alleged, to the fact that the defendant, Mckee, bought a lot from the plaintiff, in August, 1928, on the understand- ing that he could get water facili- ties for'the property. McFee couta not get a sewage line past the prop- erty. He had, however, buiit him- self a small house in the meantime, He removed this house to an adja- cent property owned by his father. Hall, the plaintiff, claimed ({l- legal removal and damages. Evi- dence was brought out showing that McFee had paid only $25 to Colic, gas, sour belching, frequent vomiting, feverishness, in babies and children, generally show food is sour- ing in the little digestive tract. hen these symptoms appear, give Baby a teaspoonful of Phillips' Milk of Magnesia.- Add it to the first bot- tle of food in the morning.

Lord Rothermere, "for they cling, mostly to antiquated' shibboclths which are completely useless in this great crisis of our national existence. I have hitherto hesitated to commit myself to the proposals for the taxa- |; regards as essential.

New Party Will Run Candidates 'I'ne United Empire party, says Lord Rothermere, will run candidate at by-elections, as a test of its strength--a test which friends and foes alike are united in deeming de- sirable--and will contest more than half the seats in the country at the next general election, concentrating especially upon southern England. In last mght's papers the Evening News, Rothernicre organ, gives a lar- ger place to the birth ot the party than does Lord Beaverbrook's Evening Standard. The News gives prominence to the views of several commoners in support of the scheme. F. A. MacQuisten, K.C,, Conservative member for Argyllshire, is quoted as believing Beaverbrook has caught the imagination of the country, al- though Sir. MacQuisten thinks it will probably take two elections be- fore the new party can overwhelm the old combinations, Other members quoted as giving Beaverbrook their entire support are Sir Robert Gower, Gillingham; Sir William Wayland, Canterbury; Sir Philip Dawson, West Lewisham and Reginald Purbrick, of the Watson division of Liverpool, ali of them Conservatives.

On Thursday evening, February 6, the final re-orggnization of the club was effected, having the fol- lowing as officers: Hon, Pres, J. H H. Jury, of Bowmanville; Hon. Sec., P. L. Beckett; president, Clay- ton Moody; sec.,, William Smith; Itbrarian, Robert Patey, The stamp club has a two-fold alm, (1) for the useful information about foreign countries to be gained by handling of stamps and (2) for the pleasure to be derived from this' excellent pastime. The club has been ex- tremely fortunate in having the patronage of several large stamp organizations such as the Toronto Stamp Club and the interest of such a staunch friend of the school as Mr. Jury. In January, Mr, Aretz and Mr. Foster of the Toronto club and Mr. Mason of the Toronto Stewart, Lee, Ewart Globe addressed the club, giving a Daily Times '""% great deal of timely information en stamps and the organization of the club, as well as 'several gifts of valuable stamps, and books. The club is very grateful to these gen- erous friends and especially Mr. Jury who has promised for the school collection a splendid album as his own gift. The stamp club meets in the school every Thursday evening at seven o'clock, and any boy having a monthly average standing of 260 marks is eligible for membership, although the club is limited to thirty members. In- terest in the club is high and with the fine start which the club has been given it is looking forward to a very pleasant and highly success- ful year. LOCAL BASKETBALL TEAM ELIMINATED High School Players Have Made Good Showing for First Year in Game The Bowmanville High School cag ers were eliminated from the intcr- collegiate schedule on Monday might when the fast Cobourg team came out at the long end of a 27 to 1 score in a game at the local school gymna- stun, I'his was to be expected as it the first year for the local boys in this game, but they have improved a gftat deal during the scason: and can 'be expected to be favorably heard from next year, Port Hope and Cobourg, the other school in the lea- | gue, have been playjng the game for a considerable time and naturally | showed a better class off game than did the local boys.

The cost of the building will be in the neighborhood of $8,000 and it will be of asphalt brick construc- tion. This latter product is a new kind of brick made with asphalt, but with the appearance of the red brick used in the construction of the Post Of- fice. It is expected that only local builders will have the chance to bid on the job. Bids were called last fall but with the change of plans new tenders will be called for the job. T. E. Flaxman and W. J.

M, Tardicu Poincare, and Briand, all were mentioned as possibly being designated to head a new govern- ment, It was not believed there would be a 'material change in French policy here no matter who actually is named. It was believed generally nothing cipation but not one of the chief de- legates would even unofficially utter any forecast. The experts expected to have plenty of technical work to oc- cupy their time, even though the French are not present, but it was realized that this cannot proceed for very long. It was considered 'probable that Mr. MacDonald would call a meeting few days to discuss the situation and' the cnoference, Some doubt was expressed whether the French would approve euch a suspension since they would have to bear the blame for the delay, although everyone is cogniz- 4S THREATENS WHOLE FAMILY Mrs. W.

AND P., CHAIN 15 BEING EXTENDED Branch Units Being Opéned on Pacific Coast Next Month New York, Feb. 19.--Formal an- nouncement was made today by John A. Hartford, President of The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co., that the oldest and largest of the vast chain systems of today will open branch units on the Pacific Coast on or a- bout March 15th. The first of these food stores, possibly a dozen in num- ber, are to be lacated at Los Angeles, Others eventually will follow along the entire west coast. It was announ- ced as the biggesttsingle step in ex- pansion and development in the sev- enty year history of the A. & P. or- ganization, There are units now in 34 states, and two provinces of Can- ada. While present plans call for op- enings of units only along the Coast, officials admitted today that in the organization's nation wide develop- ment plan they are looking forward eventually to establishment of their stores in the entermediate states of Montana, both North and South Da- kota, Arkansas, Utah, Colorado, Ne- vada, Arizona, Idaho and New Mex- ico, as well as California, Oregon and Washington, ADVERTISING URGED FOR BRITISH GOODS British Trade Commissioner Contrasts Empire Trade With U.S. » Montreal, Feb, 19.--It pays to |advertise was the main point in an address delivered by F. W. Field, Senior British Trade Commissioner to Canada, at the weekly luncheon meeting on Saturday of the St. George's Snoweghoe and Curling Glub. Mr. Field contended that in the past, Empire couniries have suffered because they have neglect- ed to advertise sufficiently what they can do and what they can sup- ply. He contrasted this difference with the attitude in the United States where he said, they almost ish us into bel 4 ey ean do ings which y cannot they de Mr. Field went on to declare that some British firms doing business in this country are injured by ru- mors and he appealed to members of the club to do their utmost tu stop the circulation of insidious suggestions which do so much harm to British trade. The title of the address was . "Empire Trade and the Work of the British Trade Com- missioners in Canada.' Mr. Field said, In part: "Almost every day someone OUR LOW We arrange for building permit and attend to the erection in Osh- awa and district of every PEDLAR'S "MAJESTIC" GARAGE Strong wood frame covered with Nu-Roof Siding and Roofing.

PEDLAR'S METAL BUI comes into my office and says, 'Bri- tish firms do not reply to corres- pondence,' or 'British firms do not answer cables,' or 'British firms do not mage prompt deliveries," or they 'do not give service." My reply is 'that - certain British firms do not, but the majority do. After all, that is the situation in every coun- try. Some firms are on their toes and some are not. I know of a British motor truck manufacturer, with an assembly plant in Montreal who is turning out a truck just as good as that of 'any competitors. Yet of this very firm I was told the other day they had closed their plant in Montreal. It was quite un- true, and appears to be a story cir- culated by one of their foreign competitors. "Another example of this sort of thing is the statement which was broadcast early this week that bak- ers' wagons were going around in England with placards which stat- ed, 'We db not buy Canadian flour.' This, as you have noticed in the Press during the past few days, is absolutely untrue, While those who circulated the rumors even went so far as to mention the name of an English firm, their own names were carefully withheld. You will agree it is a safe rule not to accept state- ments of this kind without check- | ing them. I have found by actual hecking that the majority of uwu- | kind things said about the business | of British firms in Canada are un- true. "I freely admit that a number of British firms have something wo learn about business and a great deal about the Canadian market, but is it not true that all countries may with advantage learn some- thing about business and about foreign markets? Is it not true that we are all inclined to think our own standards in business are the only good ones? The principal trouble, I believe, is the habit of making sweeping generalizations. There are a large number of firms in the United Kingdom who have just as much 'snap' and 'pep' as firms in any other country. "In speaking in Quebec the other day I mentioned that the sentiment in favor of Empire trade is at pres- ent very strong and it is now for business men to capitalize it. This means we must come to grips with ithe practical phases and that brings us to actual buying and selling, Af. ter all the people who place the or- ders are those who best can change the trading statistics and make Em- pire trade expand. When those in| Canada who are buying foreign goods carefully review the situa tion and make a definite attempt to switch some of the business to Empire countries, very practical work is effected. '""As you know, the British Gov ernment trade commissioner service) was established to meet the need for the commercial representation of the United Kingdom in the overs seas Dominions. We have about 14 trade commissioners in the Empire, and the sevrice is being extended, The headquarters are in London, where the commercial intelligence organization of the British Govern ment is housed.

In the former are me who haves erved in various parts of] the Empire. In the latter are me who have served in the industries concerned. The primary duties of] the British Trade Commissioners are to assist the development of t sale of British goods in the eountry to which he is sent and to assist] the development of trade within the Empire. "We make special reports fo British firms on the Canadian mar ket for specific goods. We send] home reports as to foreign goods which are being sold freely here, We send samples and prices and catalogues and advertising matter We do everything possible in a practical way to post British fir as to what competition they w {meet in the Canadian market, V | call upon Canadian manufacturers] and others to ascertain what they are buvine.
