The contract was accepted for about $20,000 and although not a large job, when compared to the building of the Collegiate and Vocational School addition and other contracts which the company successfully completed, i was un- dertaken with the same care and thoroughnses which have charac- "terized other efforts of this firm. Work on the extension and re- modelling was started in August and was completed late in October. The appearance of the interior of the bank sufficiently indicates that pains were taken in the con- struction of the addition and that i good work went into the contract as well as brick and mortar, Lumber for the extension of the building was supplied by the Carew Lumber Co, of Oshawa and Lind- say, while the brick, lime and other materials were purchased from the McLaughlin Coal and Supplies Ltd., of 110 King street west, The wiring was done by the Bowra Electric Co., of 66 Simcoe street north while the sub-con- tract for plumbing was let to Mil- ler and Libby Ltd.,, 22 Celina street, Bathe and McLellan have had several important contracts here since they first started in opera- Sion in 1927, Their most notable job was the construction of the Collegiate and Vocational School addition at a cost of several hun- dred thousand dollars. Recently they were awarded the main con- tract in connection with the con- struction of the subway beneath the C.N.R. tracks on Simcoe street south. Percy F. Bathe and Frank M. McLellan, principals of the firm, met quite by accident while work- ing on a new building here in 1927, the one as a mason, the other as a carpenter. A friendship started which ultimately developed into a business partnership, the two men forming the contracitng firm which | bears their names.

Queen's University One fact seems to stand out clearly in connection with the present state of the world wheat-market, and that is that we have reached saturation- point in wheat production. No doubt the situation at present is aggravated by other factors, such as the dumping of wheat by the Soviet Government at the expense of its own people, who are partially starving. This, however, may be no temporary occurrence. it is conceivable and even probable that with her revolution in agricultural methods Russia may throw more wheat cach. year on the world markt, a situation which might indeed have been anticipated as a sequel to her industrial recovery. As regards Canada, producing as she does vastly more wheat than she can consume and with a surplus of unsold grain piling up in her ele- vators year by year, the situation is especially grave. There appear, how- ever, to be three possible cures. One is the purchase of wheat in larger quantities by the Motherland, Under the suggested quota system, this may be cfected, even although some sys- tem of imperial preference is for the moment declared to be impossible. 'The second method, surely a policy of despair but one which is already being discussed, is the giving up of lirge tracts of our wheat-growing land in favor, I suppose, of crops another description, or of grazing. It seems to me that there is a third possiblity, a palliative if not a cure ----namely, the consumption of more wheat by the world generally and, as a beginning, by the ten million in: habitants of Canada. There appeared in the daily press the other day an account of an ex- peritnent done upon a Chicago stu- dent for some reason or other, an experiment in the carrying out of which he lived on nothing but oat- meal and water and at the end of six months was found to be perfectly fit. This story may or may not Le true, but a similar experiment used to be carried out by hundreds of Scottish lads during their university careers. Whole-wheat meal may be accepted as an equivalent for oat- meal, It contains all the constitu- ents necessary for a diet with the ex- ception of water. It even contains certain vitamins. It is not, however, suggested that we in Canada should all live solely upon wheat meal, but merely that we should resolve to cat more cereal, making sure, of course, that this cereal is home-grown. Some time ago I gave an address to the Rotarians of Brockville which received comment in your editorial column, During the course of my remarks I stressed the fact (and I am sure from personal observation that it is a fact) that most middle- aged people, as well as many old people, eat too much meat during the 24 hours. In the case of people living the sedentary life which most of us do live (and in these days of motor cars the term sedentary is not too strong), one meat meal a day is quite sufficient. I venture to say that we would find ourselves happier and healthier if this were done. For ex- ample, the ideal midday meal for the business man would be whole wheat bread, butter and cheese, with fruit and a glass of milk, On such food the bsuy man would find himself more alert and fitler Yor his afternoon's work. No doubt, some men actually have such a lunch, but what I would sug- gest is a nation-wide campaign to substitute cereal for meat. A diet al- tered in this way would do harm to none. Is it unreasonable to ask the people of Canada at this crisis in our bistroy to alter their habits to this extent in the interest of their coun- try? It might very well be that experiment they could conscientiously advise the rest of the world to Jo likewise. But, says the agriculturalist, this would not ciire the situation. The larger market for wheat would mean | a smaller onc, for butcher meat. The | farmer, while selling a little more of his grain, would have his cattle thrown on his hands. This, doubt, would be the case, but .a though I am not an economist, I im agine that this would be a situation much more capable of than the present J The house query.

MONTREAL BOARD PLANNING PROBE OF SHUGGLING Illicit Traffic Is Reported To Be Steadily on the Increase Montreal, Dec. 6.--The Montreal Board of 'I'rade will investigate the smuggling menace. ; At a meeting of the council of the board under the chairmanship of Walter Molson, several members complained that the problem of illicit traffic was increasing. They recalled that some years ago the smuggling of goods from the United tSates into Canada assumed such proportions that honest merchants in various lin- es of business suffered and an or- ganization of business men from Montreal and Toronto was organzied to combat the evil. They attained their end but at considerable expense. In view of the prevailing depres- sion, merchants and manufacturers have quite enough difficulties without adding to the number by having o meet the competition of illicit traffic it was declared, To Launch Probe . The council decided to institute an investigation and if the position war- rants to make representations to the Federal Government, Pleasure was expressed at the ten- or of most of the editorial comment in Montreal journals respecting the decision taken at the general meeting of members of the board in connec- tion with the St. Lawrence waterway project. It was also stated that a number of private individuals had stressed the soundness of the stand taken by the board at the meeting in question. Thus, it was felt, that the decision was really representative, It was announced that R. N.

Are Agents For The Hamilton By-Product COKE Oshawa Harbour Benelits Local Industrial Fuel Users Coincident with the opening of the Oshawa Harbour during the past summer, McLaughlin Coal & Supplies Ltd. immediately took advantage of the opportunity to further serve the industrial in- terests of the city of Oshawa and community. Through negotiations and by arrangements con- summated with the Pittsburgh Coal Co. Ltd., one of the world's largest producers of Bituminous' Coal, an adequate supply of Bituminous coal of all grades and sizes to meet the community's requirements has been placed on the Oshawa docks by this company. This further represents the progressiveness of the McLaughlin firm in their ability and readiness to serve the public's need at home and abroad to the mutual benefit of all. Prompt delivery of this coal can be effected direct to the user's bins by a fleet of trucks, which eliminates the neces- sity of industries carrying large tonnage as formerly. The Harbour opening has made this possible and thus has created a saving in fuel expense of considerable proportion to the manufacturing plants of this community. Not only in price but also in service, McLaughlin Coal & Supplies Ltd. can compete with all selling agencies in their particular fields by either boat or rail shipments to all parts 8f Ontario.
