PROBLEM OF UNEMPLOYMENT 'Council, However, Fail to Make Any Headway-- Will Have Registration of Local Unemployed The only councillor who made a real attempt to 'aid the unemployed and the only one who really seemed to understand the seriousness of the unemployment situation in Bowman- ville, at last night's session ofthe council, appeared to be Councillor Lockhart. Councillor Lockhart has not been idle between council meet- ings but as head of the relief com- mittee and realising just what is ahead 'of that committee this winter unless work is provided, he has been in touch with the Federal Govern- ment regarding the distribution of the unemployment aid. Last night he tried to impress on the council, with little success how- ever, that the matter should be look- ed into right away. He read letters he had received from the Hon, Gid- con (Robertson, Minister of Labor in connection with unemployment and he also read newspaper extracts in an endeavour to point out to council what they had to do to assure a part of the unemployment grants irom the government. An amusing episode occurred when he was read- ing from one paper: s+ "What are you quoting from" ask- ed Councillor Strike. "From The Star and you all know that that is always reliable" amswer- ed Mr. Lockhart. However the council made no arrangements other than those mentioned ¢Jsewhere for the unemployed and which will only provide work for a few weeks-at the utmost. Another of Mr Lockhart's sugges- tions had more success when he sug- gested that a registration bureau be opened in the town at which all unemployed who want either work or relief must register. This would enable the town to keep in close uch with its workless and also with ose who are the married men and who are mostly in need of work this coming winter. The council will act on this measure. However they had not planned any work other than what was planned before' and a few little sidewalk repairs for the future. As Mr. Lockhart stated last night "We wagt to proyide work for the mefr and they want to earn their dollars, They do not want handouts. I am not a pessimist and I try to look on the bright side of things but I see a bad winter ahead and provision should be made for it." As the council did not, as they were fully expected to do, make pro- vision last night they have only. it to do yet and while everyone thought that the question would be tackled thoroughly last night they were dis- appointed. To fear that there will be a deficit this year, which there is almost bound to be, seems to be hold- ing the council back but its members should remember that they had an unusual year to deal with and that citizens as a whole will agree that even if there is a large deficit this year it was necessitated by unusual and subnormal conditions, Granted Certificates A pair of - purebred two-year-old Holstein heifers bred by Oscar J. Luxton, and now owned by Nobis LI Metcalf, of Bowmanville, Onf, "have just been granted certificates in the R.CP. their combined pro- " "duction in the 365 days averaging 11,919 Ibs. milk containing 527.50 lbs. butter. The leader, Babe Orndyke Burke, gave 12,052 Ibs. milk contain- 525 lbs. butter with an average st for the year of 348% fat. Both iférs were sired by Glen Rae Orn- ke Count, and milked twice daily for the entire period, FINANGE CHAIRMAN "RESIGNS FROM SEAT ON COUNCIL Recent Appointment as Act- ing Magistrate Is Cause of Action Councillor Alan Campbell, recently appointed acting police magistrate for the town of Bowmanville, last night handed in his resignation as councillor to. the council at their regular meeting. Council however refused to accept the resignation but granted the new magistrate three months leave of absence which will allow him to work on council com- mittees but not to vote on any pro- ject. The resignation came as a result of his appointment as magistrate which automatically bars him, as re- ceiving a salary from the town, from acting on the council. The wording of the resignation was as follows: ) "To His Worship the Mayor and Municipal Council of the Town of Bowmanville, Gentlemen: Owing to my having accepted the position of acting Police Magistrate during the absence of Mr. Ward, I herewith regretably ten- der to you my resignation as a mem- ber of your council, I can assure you however, if at any time I can be of any service, I shall be only too pleased to place myself, and my time, at your dis- posal. 'Thanking you one and all for the congenial and friendly way you have treated nfe during my membership to your Board, I remain Sincerely yours, Alan Campbell" Very little! discussion followed the reading of this resignation but the council was unanimdus in its, opin- ion that the services of Councillor Campbell, who was chairman of the Finance Committee, were valuable to the council afd that his services be retained on committee even if he were barred from voting. His sal ary as acting magistrate was placed at the sime figure as the permanent magistrate, $50 per month, Have Corn Roast .. A very pleasant evening was spent on Wednesday last at the home of William Taglor when about forty- five friends from Dunbarton motor- ed down for a corn and weiner roast which was followed by a dance and sing song around the blazing fire. TOWN COUNCIL HAVE NO CONTROL OF THE G.P.R. BRIDGE WORK Bridge Is Part of the Pro- vincial Highway System---- Work Not Likely This Winter Speaking to The Times on Mon- day evening Mayor Elliott stated, when asked concerning work on the C.P.R. bridge changes; that the town had nothing whatsoever to do with this work and while the Minister of Highways might do this work to aid local unemploy- ed, if he considered the uneniploy- ment situation serious enough, the town, could do nothing to urge them on. It sédems to have been a popu- lar notion around the town that the Town Council were the ones who had the saying of whether or not this work could proceed, It appears that the bridge being a part of the Provincial Highway the Highways, Department and the C.P.R. are the ones to decide.

It is little wonder that this play has been so popular in Toronto for it Is extremely well acted and is also more than usually amusing. All characters were in costumes of the Victorian era and the plot of the play was a meetimg of the 'Female Welfare Society' a group of representatives of various coun- try centers at their annual con vention in Bowmanville, 3 The play commenced with the arrival of the delezates and the billeting of them with well known focal citizens. One delegate stated that she must be billeted with a bachelor and she was therefore bil: leted, according to the play, with Tom Holgate, The arrival of t president, late, accompanied by Ber two children caused lots of fun and the convention got under way with several discussions ano reports of the various centers and their activities, The main item of business was an addrses by an aspirant for the presidential chair who was supposed to have inter- viewed bofh the Ontario and Fed- eral Premiers with a view of mak. ing men propose, It was decided by the convention that there were too many ladies not married owing mainly to the timidity of the men who were afraid to pro- pose and who had to be helped to propose by the women folk them- selves. The law, needless to say. was not enacted wainly because when the delegate first went to Ottawa, Premier Kiug a bactelor was in power and on her second visit to the Parliament buildings Mr. Bennett, another bachelor, was in power, The amusing part of the play was the fact that it was sup- posed to take place in 1877 and the present day premiers names were used. The whole produced some de- lightfully amusing situations which were much enjoyed by the audi ence, The climax of the play came when, after not having an election of officers for some years owing to everyone being afraid to op- 'bose the present president, ap election was decided upon and the two candidates finished with even votes. The presiding lady then voted for herself and was once again the president. ~The whole program 'was interspersed with singing of a very high quality and from the applause that constantly interrupted the play the Berkely Busy Bees will be welcome in Bowmanville again. FINE MARKET FOR NEWCASTLE FRUIT IN OLD COUNTRY to Ontario Growers Urges That More Apples Be Shipped Newcastle Apple Growers are getting splendid results frcm tnelr apple crops this year and their packs are bringing premium prices 1 the 0ld Country according to a cable sent to Hon. T. L. Kennedy, Mirie- Premier Ferguson in Cable' ter of Agriculture, tronf"Premier Ferguson who is in England at the present time, The premier urged that more apples be shipped to Eng- land right away as there was a ready market for@§hem. British and Eurpgpean buyers, who in the past have looked rather unkindly on the Ontario apple, are now in the market for more and more, through Mr. Fulton's efforts to improve grading and packing, and to extend markets, Mr. Fulton is Ontario Fruit Representative in England. The cablegram from Premier Ferguson reads as follows: "With Government fully behind Ontario Fruit-growers' Association in bettering export marketing con- ditions cannot understand why more shippers are. not selling through Eulton, specially appointed at request of growers and who fis well established European markets to make cash sales or handle con- signments at top market values and at minimum cost to shippers. "Very gratified to learn Newcastle shippers under Government plan are establishing name for their pack and receiving premium prices, More co-ordination of shippers with central pack and one brand re- quired. Best European buyers urg- ing Ontario quotations Fulton al- ready sold 3,000 Ben Davis. Can sell additional 5,000 barrels im- mediately if he is assured of ship- ments. Please request press to give publicity to this statement so that all growers may have opportunity of taking advantage of this oppor- tunity." "The Government has been try- ing for some time to market more apples in Greut Britain and Euro- pean centres," Colonel Kennedy stated, "and found that we were not in the position to competé with the product of other Provinces and many States, particularly the ship- ments from Nova Scotia and sec- because of their method of grading tions around the State of Virginia, and packing the apples, which was superior to ours. This has ull been changed, and exporters aere have become educated in the advanced merchandising of the fruit in suit- able containers and, in some . in- stances, wrapping the apple with a registered brand of the grower." Part of the success which has been gainéd was because of the ar, rangements for handling the fruit through the cold storage plant in Simcoe County, the Minister thought. y A good price for a eouple of fox- hounds in England is £100, bat £1,700 was recently paid at a New York auction sale for two prize Welsh foxhounds.
