Marie Is Chief Hazard of Late Season (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Chicago, Dec. 1.--A year devoia of major disasters served tonight as a reassurance to Great Lakes mariners prepared to play their yearly game of chance with winter. The stroke of midnight marked the opeaing of the 'gambling sea- son," so called because at that time insurance on many classes of ships expire. In the brief period before ice locks many harbors and bar- ricades the shipping ways to Lake Superior, skippers must pit their skill single-handed against wintry hazards, The few boats still plying greyish waters between the eastern manu- facturing cities and the grain and ore ports of the north thus must move with added care and at the same -time reach their destinations before winter closes down for good. Last year the grim total of more than 100 deaths on stormlashed shipping courses made the "gamb- ling season" a period of menace. This year, the death toll was only 12, all on Lake Michigan, The pounding waves that harassed cities along the shore-line of the inland lakes and dragged a half dozen ves- sels down with their crews in 1929 sprang up only a few times in 1930. Mariners, learning a new caution from the previous fall came through the season with but three ships lost. But the possibility of a blockade at Sault Ste, Marie, where the bil- lion-dollar flow of western products funnels through the locks at St. Mary's River, still persists, A few years ago a. score of vessels were held at the soo all winter when the fee closed in prematurely. Last year there was a week's blockade. Many of the cigar-shaped freight- ers already are laid for the winter, in dun-colored lines at South Chi- cago, Fairport, Duluth and other ports. On every lake, however, a few ships are prepared to take the gamble.

Toronto Milk Prices Are Reduced by New Agreement (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Toronto, Dee. 1,--Winter prices of milk in Toronto will be 12 cents a quart, startivg today, the lowest retail price since the carly days of the war, The one-cent reduction fo the consumer has bean brought akout by a joint agreement between the Toronto Milk Distributors where- by the former body accepts the of- fer of the distributors of between $2.20 and $2.30 per cwt. delivered at the dairy. Milk sold for 12% Depart- | 13 cents last Summer and jumped to cents two months ago. At a closed conference betwden representatives of the distributors and producers, the dairies agree' to pass on the reduction to the public, and on that understandir the producers climbed down from their demand of $2.50 per ewt. and accepted the lower offer.

Many producers will be hard pressed to garner a profit under the new ar. rangements, according to officials of the association. | had LJ | Girl Was Walking on Rail- way Bridge Over the Osh- awa Creek When She Was Struck by Train EE OTHERS WERE ALSO ON BRIDGE Children Were Using Rail way Bridge as a Short Cut on Their Way to School When Tragedy Occurred Katherine Mucha, ecight-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Mucha, Cordova Rd, East Whitby township, was struck and immediately cil eastbound C.N.R.
