PILOT KILLED BY WHIRRING BLADE OF HIS PROPELLER George Parsons, Who Re- cently Was Forced Down At Whitby, Is Victim Toronto, Aug, 22,--~Falling under 'he whirling blade of his airplane's propeller, George I', Parsons, aged 32, of 519 Jarvis Street, Toronto, was instantly killed late yestor- day afternoon while on a holiday at Wasaga Beach, Local airmen believe the fatality Is the first of its kind in the records of Dominion aviation, Parsons, A member of the Toron- to Flying Club and a war pilot, had * flown an amphibian plane down from Montreal a week ago, It was a biplane, and the machine was the only one of its kind in the Domin- jon. The engine and propeller of the plane are situated overhead, and from what can be learned, he climbed up on top of the plane yostorday to tinker with the motor when it failed to start, He was able to'start the engine and then In some unaccountable manner fell directly in the path of the whirling propeller and was cut down, falling to the ground with a deep gash in the back of his head. His companion, horrified at what had happened, ran to his side, but ha was dead on arrival. Parsons had been dogged with hard luck from the tima he started out from Montreal several days Ago. Saturday he made a forced landing in the lake near Whitby when his gas gave out, Provincial DMcers Pretorius and Jarvis were investigating the fatality, Parsons' body will likely be sent io the home of his parents at Port Arthur, it was stated last night, It was thought an inquest would not be held as tho fatality appear. | | which ad to be purely accidental, CATTLE ARE AGAIN SENT T0 BRITAIN Canadians Reopen Market Dead For Over Two Years Montreal, Aug. 22.-Canadian beef will re-enter tha British mar. kot for the first time since 1928 with the shipment from Montreal this 'week of 128 head of grade Herefrod and Bhorthorn steers, bred in Ontario and now consigned lo a firm of importers in Manchest er, The majority of the steers were raised on the farms of P, J, Henry af Ridgetown, Ont, and A.

M, Croft, the Canadian trade commissioner to New Zealand, as wocinted himself with the remarks made by the British trade commis. stoner, L. A, Paish, at a recent con ference here Mr, Croft stated that thoughtlessness of buyers was the chief deterrent to a greater volume of trade between the Dominions and the Motherland, He asked why New Zealand products should be shipped to the markets of the world in boxes made of Baltic wood when Canada was able to furnish superior wood at equal price, Mr. Paish followed this up with examples of New Zealand's pur: chases. of goods produced outside the Empire when British material of superior quality were available. He asked why New Zealand butter should be wrapped In cheesecloth made in the Uniter States and cost. Ing $60,000 annually, especially when 09 per cent of the butter was sold in the British markets, Hats valued at $260,000 were purchased outside the Empire when similar hats could be bought at similar prices from British countries, Mr. Paish 'stated further that w few yoars ago there were no satis. factory typewriters made In Great Britain, but three years ago Brit ish manufacturers had turned out machine ag good as any produced in the United tates. He urged business men to consider this SUGGEST GIVING PREMIER A RAISE Committee = Recommends $10,000 Increase For Macdonald London A proposal to raise the salary of the Prime Minister hy $10,000 an yoar has aroused consid. orable discussion here It was the only definite recom mendation of the Select Commit. tes on Ministers' Remuneration, which Issued a report recently The committees had examined five witnesses---Bir Warren Fisher, Por. manent Secretary to the Treasurer, Mr, Baldwin, Mr. Lloyd George, Mr. MacDonald, and Vigeount Hail sham and as a result agreed that the salary should be raised from $25,000 to $85,000 "Not only is his remuneration actually less than that of two of his colleagues," states the report, "but the circumstances of his posi. tion render his salary of less value than that of any other minister, The house In Downing Street he is practieally compelled te occupy, is admittedly very in convenient and costly to maintain; and he has to provide out of his salary for entertainments which cannot he classified as oMcial fune. tions properly chargeable to the Government Hospitality Fund." In Canada the leader of the ofc. inl opposition receives a. walary of $10,000, equivalent to that of a cabinet minister, but it Is not so in England, The report goes on to remark of an English Prime Minis ter: "Hig position, great as It is, in at host a temporary one, and it must not he forgotten that when he Koes out of ofice he probably he comes leadar of the Opposition with A osalary of $2,000 a year and no pension; and while his colleagues Can as ex-Ministers logitimately supplement their incomes in var Ous ways, he alone Ix debarred from so doing.' The report summarizes the main recommendations of the committes of 1920, which included the pro- posal that the Prime Minister's sal. Ary should be $40,000, and that all the other members of the Cabinet should receive the same total snl. ary. At present averal ministers receive only 410,000 while the Lord High Chancellor draws $60,000, The Attorney-General Is. given $36, 000 and feos, the Bolleitor<General 830,000 and fees. The Commitien would make no definite recommen. dations regarding these anomalies Ang _soncluded: : our committes realise th of the obstacles In the way ot Ing Ministers' salaries on an oquit. able basis is the natural reluctance of any government to propose an increase, but they suggest, as an Act of justice, that all partion should co-operate in carrying out tha recommendation in regard to the Prime Minister's salary," The varying fortunes of the Prime Ministor «make the salary bald an important consideration for. dome, while others need not give it a thought, Gladstone Mm. herited great wealth from his fath. or, but Disraeli repeatedly ran Into DO YOU NEED SOME MONEY We will loan you money on your car, reduce your pres ent payments and give you additional cash, 12 months to pay back, A 'confidential service, Phone 2790 for appointment, Open evenings till 9 p.m. Motor Loans and Discounts 1414 King Street East -e The photographs above show in. teresting camera studies of Lord and Lady Dawson of Penn, and thelr attractive daughter, Rose. the then Bourbon and first Baron of Barony of Pubnpico, which comprised 1,600 square miles, In Auguel of 1651 5 selling ves sel from France arrived in the har- hor of Pubnico with Chirles de LaTour, newly uppointed Governor of Acadie hy commission of King Loulg XIV, #lenr Philippe 4'En- tremont. was among the first to land, The monument, from which the flags of England Vance and Canada were unvelled, stands less than 160. yards from where Baron d'Entremont first set fool on this, the oldest French Acadian settle ment in North America, From a nearhy pole the Unfon Jack, the tri colored emblem of France and the stars and stripes proclaimed the friendship of the three nations.
