Forty young men with faces bear- ing a striking resemblance to darki¢s staged a show that was full of pep from start to finish and which car- ried an average of abut five laughs per munute, Of course there w stars, but all were so gooa that w ould not be fair to discriminate tween any of the principals and the fine chorus that assisted to make the presentation such a success. 1he show was divided into three acts, each containing several numbers that were both original and snappy. The curtain raised upon this company of darkies silhouetted against. a background of purple hangings and after the introduction of the principals by the interlocutor an opening chorus by the whole com- pany put the large audience into a pleasant mood from the start throughout the show there were six scts of jokes as the program had it, most of which were entirely ne nd which were delivered in a most ¢ cal strain and with the usual gutter- al utterance of Amos and Andy.

BILL SETS $2.00) RATE RURAL HYDRO {7 YEARS IN PRISON: Growing Deficits Inevitable | Until Farmers Respord Minister Says Toronto, Feb. 27.--After aours of discussion during which opposition members hurled ques- tion after question across the floor of the Legislature, one of the bills granting cheaper hydro power to rural Ontario introduced Monday by Hom. J. R. Cooke, Minister of Power, was given second reading yesterday. The second of the two power bills was held over because of the lateness of the adjournment, During his explanation of the bill, Mr, Cooke reviewed legislalion of the past 10 years atfecting hydro introducing figures which showed the extent to which rural use of | power has grown. He also charged opposition members with having created an antagonism towards hy- dro power through "misrepresenta- tion' largely stirred up for political purposes. The bill, Mr, Cooke stated, pro- vided for the establishment of a definite maximum rural service charge of $2.50 a month applicable to all areas now paying that rate or higher. Deficits between the amount realized at this rate and the actual cost to any district will be paid by the province out of the con- golidated revenue fund. The hope behind the bill is that farmers will be attracted by the ite offered and by the loans for hydro equip..ent installation pro- vided {n the second power bill More rural consumers will be at- tracted and the increase of consum- ers per mile of transmission line will lower costs. Thus at the end of a few days, it is hoped, the cre- ation of a deficit will end with all lines and districts becoming self supporting. G.W. McLaughlin Party Member Is Dead in Floride | Mrs. C. H.

Dr. Netram has | béen touring Canada since August in the interests of Indian missions and this was his second appearance in Oshawa, The speaker referred to the vast population of his native land which numbers over 320,000,000 souls. "India is a country of youth, he stated, 'one third of the popu- | 1ation includes boys and girls un- der the age of fifteen, If we could reach all these children India would be conquered for Christ within thirty*years. Income $1 Per Month The income of the people is but per person each month, the stated. . No wonder. he stated, that many were half starv- ng. India was a land of vast nat- | ural resources but through certain religious rules the people have | been unable to eat the flesh of an- imals or fish, "How would you in Canada bé able to get along if meat were cut from your diet?" he asked. | Dr. Netram explained that $1 speaker the | uiation forbids the killing and eat- ing of wild or domestic animals. The forests abound with game and the streams with fish but the peo- { pla are unable to touch them be- causa of religious scruples. The cow is sacred and farmers have to maintain their herds of cattle un- til the beasts die a natural death. Even Mosquitoes Can Live A Hindu would not even slay a mosquito the speaker asserted be- cause of his belief in transmigra. tion of souls.

Political Freedom Rev. Mr. Netram firmly that Christianity brought freedom "Forty cight of 53 nations of the world are Christian," he commented, "and no nation is holding another Christian nation in subjection against its will." Christianity | | | in stating that he | believed with 1t brought enlightment to the people, Dr. Netram claimed, and in his native land he claimed that its teachings were influencing the thinking of the better educated people, even though they might not admit it, "Be thankful for the Christian at- mosphere which exists iin Canada," Dr. Netram urged. "You who have lived in this atmosphere so long can not appreciate its worth, but it im- presses me forcibly on every hand." Hope for India The speaker voiced his hope for India and his firm conviction = that Christ would some day be accepted by its millions of people and that through Him release from spiritual, mental, social, political and economi- cal bondage would be brought to this ancient nation, His concluding message was a plea for help in his native land. "We need your missionaires, your teachers and your prayers," he said, Dr. Netram was attired in native costume last night and he spoke with remarkable fluency, Born HENRY--On Monaay, February 24th, 1930, to Mr. and Mrs, R.

The amount to be requested of the city this year will be $28,131, The figure originally set when the 1930 estimates were drawn up was $29,291. Mayor 7T. B.

This expenditure was one over which the city council had no control. Every department in the city was being asked to reduce its expendi- tures to the bone to meet the condi= tions which had to be faced, the mayor said, and he asked the Board to kecp its estimates at least as low as those of last year, which totalled $28,900. A number of items in the estimates were questioned. by the mayor and Ald, Boddy, with D. A. J. Swan= son contending that the cstimates should be left largely as they were, However, after considerable debate, one item was reduced by $160 and the Board passed a motion of Alderman Swanson that $1,000 should 'be taken off the estimates as a whole, pro- viding Mayor Mitchell and Alderman Boddy undertook to persuade the fin- ance -committee and the city council not to further pare the estimates, as they were considered to be as low y could possibly be placed with- seriously interfering with the work of the Board, Both the mayor and Aderman Boddy undertook to use their influence to kep the Board of Health estimates intact in passing through the finance committee and the council, Fhe estimates as they finally pass- ed the Board "totalled $28,131, a re- duction of $769 from the figure of last year.
