The nvitation has been accepted, and is expected that a large numBer members will make the trip. AW MADE IT UNPLEASANT. The coming of another January haw this forenoon made condi- ons on the streets wretched, the = ES melting ice causing water to splash up every time an automobile went along the street. As a result of the thaw, however, the ice is gradually disappearing from the business sec: tion of the city. SIGN OF SPRING? 4 plaialy hough the calendar saat there are at least soval more weeks of winter ahead oO us, one of the first signs of spring was seen today as the truck of a large seed company called at sev. eral local stores. It is a gO guess that the companys agent was here to interest merchants in purchasing their stock of seeds for the spring business and to make arrangements for those displays of seeds in pretty little packages which will soon appear in almost every grocery and flour an feed store. Once again the thought arises, oh, if we could only grow the beautiful, well formed flow- ers and magnificent, large' veget- ables which are depicted on the outside of the little packages con- taining the plants in embryo. A CLEVER DISPLAY A remarkable display, depicting the countryside in winter time, with tiny hourses, a church and gasoline stations dotted here and there, has been laid out in the win- dow of the Gray Coach Lines' waiting room, King street east. In the centre of the display is a broad band, representing the highway with of course, a tiny, miniature Gray Coach Line bus speeding mer- rily along. The display was form- erly in the show window of the company's central waiting room on Bay street, Toronto. CURRENT EVENTS CLASS The current events class at Bishop Bethune College last night was conducted by M. McIntyre Hood, who led the discussion of international trade, exports and tariffs. The members of the col lege staff, along with the students of the senior school, took part in the study of these questions. New Gunnery Dev elopments Render ritish Navy Immune From Air Attack (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) London, Jan, 17.~The Dally xpress said today that as a con- quence of recent gunnery de- elopments naval experts now be- eved British ships to be immune om aircraft attacks at sea. This t was claimed, is due to the ounting of elgnt-inch guns in the apgest battlé cruisers in such a ay that they can be raised and réd effectively at on elevation of rom 75 to 80 degrees. At that levation they should have an ef- ective range of 27,000 feet, which ™ v is higher than any bombipg air- craft could fly. The guns could fire a curtain of shrapnel which it would be impos- sible for any airplane to penetrate. Low flying ships would be guarded against by means of various types of guns which would put a wall of bursting shells around any ship, The two systems combined, the paper says, would make an effec- tive aircraft attack on a fleet at sea a physical impossibility, Simi- lar progress has been made in anti-aircraft defense on land. WILL DESTROY CATS Rome, Italy, Jan, 16.--The Fas- st Government has cast its eye pon the lowly matter of domestic ts, and is concerned with those fch prowl about the Forum. It as been a revolting sight in the eart of a great city, these aban- oned creatures, who pick up a pre- arious living somehow 20 ft. below e street level among the rank- ass that surrounds the once dig- ified splendors of the Ampi-thea- re. The unhappy animals (some undred of them) that prowl about he ruins of Trajan's Forum are not he arbiters of their fate but have n consigned to their dismal ome by their owners as unwanted. ow they are to be destroyed. .

SERVICE IN DOUBLES Different services are used by each player in BACK and FRONT ser- vices formation, The partners in BACK and FRONT doubles formation each use a differ- ent service, to suit the requirements of their position. It is necessary to decide at the outset which one is to play at the net and which to cover the back court. This decision must be governed by the abilities of the players. The partner who plays the FRONT position has three possible serves from the RIGHT court: (1) LOW, just over the net to the front serve: (1) to the front fore- hand; (2) to the front back- hand, ; (3) HIGH to the rear back- nd.'

DIVORCE GASE IS SLATED FOR NEXT SUPREME COURT Former Oshawa Couple Are Litigants in First Action in County When the spring assizes of the Supreme Court are held at Whitby next March, an action for divorce, the first in the history of the county, will be heard. The plaifi- titf is Mrs, Irene Edmondson, now of Bowmanville and formerly of this city, who is suing her hus- band, George A. Edmondson, now residing in the Canadian west, for the dissolution of their marriage on the grounds of adultery and desertion. Mrs. Edmondson is also suing for alimony and the cus- tody of their only child, Helen Margaret, The plaintiff and the defendant lived here for several years, ahd Louis Hyman, local barrister, is acting on behalf of the former. A divorce action was listed on the docket of a previous session of the court but when the case was brought up it really became an action for annulment of marriage on the grounds that the parties who had been joined in wedlock were not of legal age. It is only recently . that the Supreme Court in Ontario was given the power to try divorce suits, INCIDENTS SHOW G00D MEMORIES OF WILLINGDONS -------- Faces Remembered at St, John After Considerable Lapse of Time (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Saint John, N.B,, Jan. 17.--Two incidents in connection with their farewell visit to Saint John yester- day bore ample testimony to one of the many causes of the populari- ty withc@danadians of their excel- lencies Viscount and Viscountess Willingdon. ) During the reception at the hotel a Saint John gentleman-- bearing the surname of Smith--was pre- sented to the vice-regal couple. Without a moment's hesitation and calling him by name, Lady Willing- don expressed regret that Ahe would not be able to enjoy a round of golf in his company. Inasmuch 'as the gentleman re- ferred to had been presented, among many others to Lady Wil- lingdon at the Riverside Golf and Country Club on the occasion of a previous visit, he was both pleased and surprised at her retentive mem- 0 ry. While inspecting the Boy Scout guard of henor on their arrival at the depot, Lord Willingdon spotted a familiar face among the lads drawn up to honor him. Pointing out the scout he remarked that he remembered his face ag that of one of the scouts furnishing a guard of honor on the occasion of a visit here a year ago. WHAT OTHERS SAY DEEP APPRECIATION To The Editor of The Times, Dear Sir: --Will you please allow me, through your columns to express, in the most emphatic manner possible on behalf of Mrs, Beall and myself, our most greatful appreciation of the splendid service rendered to Mrs, Beall, while a patient in the Oshawa Hospital for eleven weeks: She en- tered the hospital October 29th, un- derwent a critical operation, followed by a most dangerous illness, from which she had so sufficiently recover, ed, as to return home last Tuesday to convalesce. 1 take this opportunity of paying a 'tribute to the hospital, I never keep my bouquets for tomb- stones, We have nothing but un- stinted and unmixed gratitude and praise and admiration for the skill and loyalty of the doctors and for the ceasefess and most sympathetic co- operation of the superintendent and staff, also of the graduates and wn- dergraduates and most of all for the cheerful faithfulness and untiring devotion of the two special nurses, Miss Kathleen Reid, Bond St, Osh- awa, and Miss Gertrude Tucker of Whithy, 4 Credit where credit is due--hence this letter. Sincerely yours, , Arthur Beall, Silem Lodge, Whitby, Jan. 16, 1931, HAMILTON PATS WIN Galt, Jan. 17.--~Hamilton Pat- riclas kept an engagement here last night in the intermediate O. H.A. series and went home victors over the Terriers by a 5-1 count. The game, which was one of the cleanest ever played here, with only .siy penalties, was witnessed by a'small crowd, no doubt due to the fact that the locals occupy the cellar. GUELPH IN PLAYOFF Guelph, Jan, 17.-~1In an uninter- 'ting game here last evening play- ed before a handful of fans, Guelph intermediates defeated Ver gus by a score of 5-3 and thereby cinched a place fn the O.H.A. group playoffs, The match was ragged with the only point of in- "They don't like the wood pile." That summarizes the summary of William Graham regarding the single unemployed men now being given three good meals a day and a place to sleep at the hostel at King and Burk streets. Soe 33 cords of wood have so far been sawn and split by the men who are accepting the city's hos- pitality at the shelter, This wood has been delivered to various fam- ilies in the city on the religf list. The saving made by the city in the cost of fuel by having it sawn up free of charge, helps in a meas- ure to pay the expenses of operat- ing the hostel, The men are divided up, and about every fourth day they are allotted to spend the whole day sawing wood. "When that day comes," Mr. Graham smilingly told a Times- representative, "'I have lots of offers to help in the kit- chen," The men are expected to help either in one way or the other---wash dishes and do other work indoors, or seize a saw and tackle a portion of the woodpile. On the days that they are not slated to saw wood, the men aren't very keen to wash dishes, But when their name is called for the wood bee--Iit's "Give me a dish- towel." And, since some men are slated for the woodpile every day, Mr, Graham never has to worry about assistance indoors. There's one thing about ft, though, Any girl that succeeds fn By the passing of Dr. Shortt of Ottawa, Canada loses one of its greatest political economists. Fifty years ago Dr. Shortt entered Queen's University, Kingston, as a student, and following his gradua- tion in Arts he was connected with the teaching staff in philosophy and | political économy for a quarter of a century. He was Queen's first pro- ! fessor of the latter subject and his classes were of intense interest, for he gave his students something al- ways new. Ho spent a great dea) of time in the Canadian archives at the Capital during the university summer recesses, and his knowl- edge of Canadian history and econ omics was perhaps greater than that of any other university profes- gor. It was Dr. Shortt who wrote for the Makers of Canada series the life of Lord Sydenham, Governor- General of Canada in 1841, whet the first parliament of the United Provinces met in Kingston, Dr. Shortt attained the highest positions in the gift of the Cana- dian Government. He helped or- ganize the Civil Service Commis- sion, of which he became chairman. He was advisor to the Government on economic matters at League of Nations sessions in Geneva, chair- man of numerous boards of arbi- tration in labor disputes, and chair. man of the Board of Historical Publications in connection with the national archives, It is worthy of notice that three of his outstanding students at terest being the final gong, ' Sunday the men | A GREAT ECONOMIST PASSES (Editorial in the Kingston Whig-Standard) Adan inveigling any of these single men into matrimony, will be sure they will help in the kitchen--by the simple expedient of keeping the woodshed full, There are between 50 and 60 men being fed and given overnight shelter at the hostel now. The number varies from day to day, and is augmented nearly every day by a number of transients who drift into the city and after a good meal ortow and perhaps a night's rest n the police station, wander on to the next town, The transients may not have to saw wood, but they 'are quite often called upon to scrub out the police station-- which is, they say, worse, The men who eat at the hostel are given good, wholesome food, and no complaints have been re- ceived regarding either its quan- tity or quality. For breakfast, they receive porridge, milk and sugar, with bread and jam, At noon, there is beet stew, bolled potatoes, and as much bread as they want. For supper, there fis soup, with bread and jam. Tea or coffee is served at all meals. On generally fare better, as the local office of Can- ada Bread Limited has been donat- ing to the hostel the buns and cakes left over Saturday night. All supplies for the hostel are hought from local merchants en- tirely, this being a rigid rule laid down by the city council. Queen's University attained to high positions in Canada and Great Brit- ain. Mr. E. R., Peacock became a great financier, rising to the posi- tion of director of the Bank of Eng- land, and in 1929 was appointed by the Prince of Wales as receiver general of the Duchy of Cornwan. Dr. Oscar D, Skelton succeeded Dr. Shortt as professor of political eco- nomy in Queen's University and several years ago was appointed under-secretary of state for Canada. Dr. Skelton was economic advisor to Rt. Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King, Liberal premier of Canada, at Lea- gue of Nations sessions. Dr. W. W. Swanson, now professor of poli- tical economy in the University of Saskatchewan, was formerly assist- ant to Dr. Skelton at Queen's, and was economic advisor to Premier Bennett at the recent Imperial Con- ference in London. These three men were imbued with the ideal: of their university teacher, to whom is due some, of the eredit for the great success they have made in life. Dr. Shortt's wife was one of the first students of the Queen's Wo- men's Medical College and practis- ed here profession for several years in Kingston. The couple were uni- versity students together at Queen's and 'both made a marked impress upon the economic life and the so- cial welfare work of Canada, for Mrs. Shortt has been very promin- ent in the national organizations of Canadian women.

Von Zuben opening MOTORISTS RUSH T0 GET LIGENSES AS TINE EXPHRES| Mike's Place Filled With Ap- plicants -- Extension Granted by Premier Welcome news for the motorists was contained in an announcement by Premier Henry in the Toronto morning papers today, that they would be given a few days Ignger in which to secure their licenses. The police have been asked to not prosecute motorists driving with 1930 number plates for a few days. Mike's Place, license issuing cen- tre for Ontario county, has been doing a thriving business the last few days, as motorists have been flocking in from all parts of the county to obtain the shining new yellow markers and their new op- erator's licenses and thug escape the possible penalty of the law. The store today was jammed with people, and one would certainly lose all pessimistic thoughts of a business depression as he saw $1, $2, $5 and $10 bills cross the counter just as fast as Mr. Bouck- ley himself and one of his clerks could write out the licenses and take in the cash, "Has it been like this very long?" asked a representative of The Times, surveying the long line that completely filled the store. "Just like this, for several days," said Mr. Bouckley, the answer coming sandwiched in between in- numerable questions asked of ap- plicants who had failed to fill in all the information required on their license plates. And. next week, Mike believes, may see just as big a rush, BANKER GETS RUDE SURPRISE FROM ANGRY MORTGAGOR Farmer Dumps Grain Into Western Village Bank Edmonton, Alta. Jan. 17.--'There is a banker in a small town in the Edmonton district who just gained a vivid new conception of the force of a chattel mortgage and there are a lot of his fellow-citizens who are still laughing, says the Edmonton Journal. The yarn explains that the bank- er in question had a chattel mort- gage on a farmer's wheat. All the elevators in the district were noti- fied of the mortgage. On Saturday the farmer loaded up part of the wheat and went to town with hopes of getting at least enough from it for Christmas groceries, if not for presents too. Tht elevator at which he called stated ¢hat it would take his wheat but that the check would have to go to the bank. The farmer went on to another elevator. Again he was told that the proceeds must go to the bank. The farmer tried a third elevator with the same result. "THE PART TIME WIFE" COMING TO THE NEW MARTIN SOON "The Part Time Wife" a Fox production based on the Saturday Evening Post story, "The Shepper- Newfounder," directed by Leo Macarey. Featuring Edmund Lowe and Leila Hyams, This ingratiating little affair warms the heart and makes one leave the theatre with the feeling that life, with all its misunder- standings and tribulations, is fair- ly worthwhile after all, Edmund Lowe, that most cap- able of screen lovers, and coy Leila Hyams, are man and wife who find life together rather try- ing. Mr. Lowe plays the part of a business man who lets his career absorb him to the neglect of his health, good nature and particul- arly his lovely young wife. Left alone so much, his wife takes up golf and becomes a champion, Finally Mr. Murdock has reach- ed such a state of irritability he is no longer to be tolerated and his wife leaves him, re-assuming her maiden ridme of Betty Rogers. A doctor orders Mr. Murdock to take up golf for relaxation, His caddie, a little orphaned Irish boy with a winning brogue and person- ality and a cute little mongrel (the '"Shepper-Newfounder") appeals to him. The same caddie also works for Betty Rogers and he sees his two golfing favorites are falling in love with each other, and eventu- ally brings about their re-union. The boy and his dog will win their way into every heart, an especially touching scene where th child, having lost his four-footéd friend, finds him in time to save him from death. Edmund Lowe is typleal of the masterful male and if he sonie- times borders on the risque, he is Edunda Lowe and not at all rn. pleasing. Lella Hyams {is sweet and natural and they are well- njatched in "Part Time Wife," the kind of picture that sends audi- ences home with the pleasant con- viction that life is not such a bad proposition after all, 3 f° Important ork Now Being Given to 450 Men by Engineer's Department They Like Their Meals, But They Don't Like the Wood Pile Connecting Link In Water Main System Was Commenced This Morning SUNDAY SCHOOL OF SIMCOE ST. CHURGH ELECTS OFFICERS B. J. Gay Is Re-elected-Sup- erintendent and Other Offi- cers Are Returned B. J. Gay was re-elected super- intendent of the Sunday School of Simcoe - Street United Church at the annual meeting of the Sunday school board held in the church school, last night. All officers of the Sunday school will retain their former positions while one or two new offices have been created in- cluding the posts of second assist- ant superintendent and assistant periodical seretary. : Rev. J. 8. I. Wilson presided over the meeting while the election was held and as no other nomina- tions were forthcoming it was moved and seconded that he cast a single ballot in favor of Mr. Gay. This action met with the unani- mous approval of the board. Beside Mr. Gay, the following are officers of the Sunday school: assistant superintendent, 0. M, Al- ger; second assistant superintend- ent, F, Yates; secretary, H. E, Gay; treasurer, A. Wilson; assistant treasurer, S. F. Everson; periodi- cal secretary, A. E. Murdoch; as- sistant periodical secretary, Nor- man Hoag; cradle roll superintend- ent, Mrs, C. Lander; superintend- ent, of beginners' department, Miss Evelyn Gay; primary super- intendent, Miss M. Burns; super- intendent of junior department, S. B. Fisher; and superintendent of boys' work, W. H. Grant. A nominating committee was appointed last night to nominate the various committees of the Sun- day school. A hearty vote of thanks was ex- tended to the superintendent, Mr. Gay, and his staff of officers, for the splendid work which they have done during the past year. A carefully prepared report showing the financial standing of the Sunday school was presented by Albert R. Wilson, tréasurer, who pointed out that after deduct- ing the total expenditures of the year from the total receipts, there was a small balance left in the treasury, because of the surplus left over from 1929. On account of existing financial conditions, the school had been forced to cur- tail its appropriation for missions, he stated. The report was received and adopted and the treasurer was commended for the accurate and careful manner with which ft had been presented. Reports of various organized classes and of certain departments of the school were also received last night and indicated that 1930 had been a year of much activity, The Sunday school board looks forward with confidence to the 1931 period and is hopeful that the school may increase in strength, not only from a mere numerical standpoint but in the value and influence of its work. Pt. Colborne Beat Varsity Toronto, Jan. 17.--Port Col- borne again defeated Varsity sen- lors by 8 to 1, but it wag not until 30 minutes of overtime had been played on the latter's ice last night that the visitors were able to score their third overtime triumph in six starts in the O.H.A. senior race, and to lengthen their lead ip the standing to such an extent that they seemingly are now sure of a play-off position. The Students are having plenty of luck this season, but it is all bad. Their team, al- ready weakened by several injur- ies, was further handicapped last night by the loss of "Red" White- head, steller defenceman, who is fll with quinsy. Largest Year Salada Tea Has Ever Enjoyed At the annual sales conference held at the Royal York Hotel, Tor- onto, Mr. Arthur M. Wilson, secre- tarystreasurer of the company, stated that in spite of the fact that the year 1930 was one of de- pression, generally, the "SALADA" tea sales showed a tremendous in- crease and were the largest the company has ever experienced. About 390 Men Now on Re- 'lief Paylist of Engineer's Department, an Increase of 50 Over Last Week MILD WEATHER IS ASSISTING WORK Start Has Been Made on Lay- ing of Water Main on Gibbs Street, . Sewer on Athol Street East, and Some Grading Work There are now approximately 450 men employed on relief and regular work by the city engineer's department. This figure is 50 higher than the total reported by City Engineer W, C. Smith a week ago, This morning 193 men re- ceived cheques for one week's pay. This means that there are ap- proximately 390 men receiving work week about, on the relief plan. There are also about 60 men regular maintenance employees of the department. The cheques 1s. sued to the 193 men on relief this morning totalled $3,026.95. Work started this morning om the construction of an 8-inch wat- ermain on Gibbs street, recently authorized by the Public Utilities' Commission, This main will be about 1,200 feet in length, and will take about three weeks to lay. The importance of this main is that it is a connecting link to the section of the city west of the creek. Up to the present time, all of the section of the city west of the creek has been served by one main on King street, In case of a break in this main, the failure of a valve, or any other emergency, this section of the city would be entirely without water. Thig not only would create a great incon- venience, but in the winter time might mean that water coils in furnaces would be in danger of burning out, and involved the paramount factor of failure of fire protection. The recond main will be an auxiliary to the service, and will aiso mean an adequate supply and good pressure to this section cl of the city in case of fire or other __ emergency, This main will be very useful, also, if the water system is ever extended further into East Whitby township along the west- ern borders of the city, City En- gineer Smith has been urging the cqustruction of this main for sev- eral years, he stated to The Times today. The mild turn in the weather yesterday has aided materially in pushing other work under way by the city. This includes the laying of water mains and sewers for the Coulter Manufacturing Company plant' on Simcoe street south, which will be finished in about two weeks, and the laying of a sewer on Park road south, which will take about three weeks mbre to finish. This is béing done joint- ly with East Whitby township, about 35 men being employed, half by the city and half from the township, There are about 20 men employed on the Coulter job. Among the other jobs now un- der way are the laying of a sewer on Athol street east, and grading alongside the pavements recently laid on Cadillac aventte and Drew street. Small gangs have been placed on these jobs. There are two jobs which to- gether employ about 100 men, which will be finishéd next week. There are the draining of the Sim- coe street south pavement to the harbor, which is nearly finished and on which 70 men have hedn given work. The laying of curb and gutter on the Bloor street pave- ment will also be completed with in a few days, and this will re- lease about 35 men. All of the men on the relief pay- roll are being given work week about, working one week and off the next. This allows the depart ment to employ the greatest pos- sible number, of men, and to aid as many families in the city as possible by means of employment. The 60 or 65 Bon legul em- ployed by the city are on full time. They are engaged in maintenance work - of various kinds. wi In Memoriam SONLEY--In memory of. our mother, Mary Jane Sonley, who died Jan, 17th, 1928. bA beautiful memory is all we Baye eft, . g The family, (14a) Westmount Ratepayers Association GENERAL MEETING I N Westmount School, Monday, Jan. 19, 8 p.
