P Lo. The Whitby ETE Son RnITLY Daily Times REPRESENTATIVE--JAMES H. ORMISTON IMPROVEMENT IN TRAIN SERVICE T0 BEASKEDOFG.N.R. Contention Is That It Would Boost Revenue on Whit- "by - Lindsay Line According to Samuel Jeffrey, ot Port Perry, who took a leading part in the agitation of his village 'for a contin of the p 'service on the WHhitby-Lindsay branch of the Canadian National, and who accompanied Dr. Kaiser, 'of Oshawa, and Fred Bowen, M.P. for Durham, to Ottawa last week, a move is on foot for not only a 'continue of the present train but 'an improvement in the present schedule, - It is pointed out, and it was made clear to the Railway Beard when it held a session in Whitby 'some months ago, that the equip- 'ment on this branch of the C.N.R. 'is old and obselete. The engines :used are more or less relics, while the passenger coaches are of the 'type that have seen better days. The roadbed, it is said, is also in need of ballasting. It is contended by those who use the line that an improvement in the equipment and roadbed, and a speeding up of the trains would result in a larger pat- rondge by the * public notwith- standing the busses. It is further pointed out . that while there has been a serious cur "tailment in, the passenger traffic on account of the busses, the rev- enue from express and freight, ! particularly in the winter months, ' has mot fallen off to any great extent. In the summer, however, the railway has to meet truck com- petition, and it is only natural that there should be a falling off in revenue in the fréight and ex- press departments. Some entirely new facts, it is . learned, are to be placed before the Ruilway Board at its next sit- . ting in this district. Port Perry Board of Trade is very active, as , it represents the district for sev- eral miles around served by the railway. Whitby Town Council and Board of HEducation will welcome any move which will convince the C. ."t, that in the best interests of this district the present or an im- proved train service should be op- erated, even if the railway does lose a few dollars, In the meantime, the action of | the powers that be in railway . circles in cancelling the curtail- ment order is appreciated. MOTOR TRAFFIC IS DANGEROUS ON ACCOUNT OF IGE Provincial Highways Clear But Unpaved Roads Are Icy Notwithstanding the slippery conditions of the roads no serious accidents were reported to the traffic police over the week-end. The two provincial highways pass- ing through Whitby are clear for | a considerable distance. North the busses are running to Lindsay without any trouble, The shoulders of both highways, however, are very icy 'and not a few cars and trucks have skidded, some of them into the ditch, within the past few days. ' The roads yl the, county road system are fairly clear of snow buf reported icy. The concession lines are not in very bad shape for this time of the year. Old residents do mot récall a year like this with practically no snow, and with dust actually flying on the highway; In itby most of the streets, with the exception of the high- ways, ave like glass, and sang and ashes have, been applied freely. Every day on the Dundas Street hill the police have been putting sand, Calcium chloride has also been used to 'the ice, Walk- ing on the sidewalks throughout the town ds also very tmd. The centre of the street was the mecca for churchgoers on. Sunday, Citi- zens are being asked to co-operate 'in putting sand or ashes on the walks 'in front of their properties. | BUSY SESSION OF COUNGY TONIGHT "ivic Appointments to Be + My Joa Bris: whitby wn Couvefl will have .¢ busy session on Monday night lat its first regular business meet !ing of the year.

The test of reality is perman- ency, he said. : Reverence for law, the fostering of inner resources and a sense of human 'brotherhood are the prerequisites of true civilization, said Rabbi Berger. Man today is living in a material age, he said, and the common rule of life is to make a living at all costs with no regard for the advancement of thought or art, It is unfortunate that there is no distinct Canadian art, music or architecture, said Rabbi Berger.

LEGION MEETING ; e regular business meeting of the Canadian Le- Oshawa Branch of the gion is to be held on Thursday even- legislative opening in this province since 1006, when the hguse assem- bled on February 8. A factor in selection of the openi date this year, is the usually early day on which Easter falls, Good Friday be- ing April 3, with a consequently early Lenten season, The province's fiscal year closes on October 31, and as the financial stdtement for the year is mot pub- lished untfl late {in January, ft would be impossible to have the legislature meet much earlier than the date selected for the first meet- ing of the New House.

SAYS ATLANTIC COVERED LAND NEAR MONTREAL D. Clarke Describes Effect of Glacial Period on Great Lake Region Montreal --A story of the timc when the levels of the Great Lakes were 50 feet higher than. today and when the northern part of North America was covered with ice a mile Seas Club by Dr. Thomas H. Clark, proféssor of paleontology at McGill University. Before the last glacial period, the Great Lakes did not exist, said Dr. ent and where Lake the present course of the St. Law- rence river but was longer, The country then had a milder climate than today, he said. The glaciers left three lakes, one | near the "lower end of Lake Michi- gan, one near Lake Superior and one near the ower end of Lake Erie. Later changes filled out the outlines of the lake system as we know it taday, but at a higher level, said Dr. Clark. The position of Niagara Falls is changing rapidly, said Dr. Clark, moving southward up the Niagara River at the rate of five feet a year, as the water breaks down the lime- stone at its edge. After the melting of the glacier, the sea flowed in and covered the St, Lawrence valley, said Dr. Clarke, Proof of this is found on Mount Royal, 600 feet above the present sea level, the finding of the skeleton of an Arctic whale at Smith's Malls and the finding of marine fossils all throughout the area.

Boston, Mass.--All marricd women will be laid off on January 26, the only exceptions being cases where husbands are unemployed and incapable of supporting the family. This decision, affecting about 200 operators, was taken by the telc- phone company to meet "its problem of force distribution in the face of slack business, "In sp doing," said the company, the management is. observing a re- | commendation of the State's Com- | mittee on Unemployment is observ- ing a recommendation of the State's Committee on Unemployment Relief, which, however, is supported by its own judgment as the most equitable step in such an emergency. "Within the metropolitan division, the entire group of central offices, because of their inter-relationship, had to be treated as one unit, and it was decided that, instead of allotting periodical days off to all employees, it would be far more equitable first to lay off married women living with husbands able to support their fami- lies. In some of the large centres outside the metropolitan division, similar emergencies have been met by allotting one or more days off per week or per month, as the case might be among the entire force of a given central office. "In its announcement to its em- ployees, the telephone Company made it clear that its action was taken not because of a purpose to discriminate against married women as such, but to meet in the most equitable way a situation which, for the time being, would require a re- duction in its force of employees." QUEER MUSICAL PLAY PRODUCED "INOLDLONDO "Toymaker of Nuremberg" Is Pleasing to Dra- matic Critics | London, Jan.17--"There is much here that will enchant the town, if only the town will take the trouble to be aware of the fact," says Ivor Brown in The Observer about a re- cent presentation here of the new musical play, "The Toymaker of Nuremberg" Further he says: "Sentiment and simple © fun have been set "to the right tinkle and swirl of music and framed with the right toyshop touch.

NEW ASSESSMENT WILL COSTTONN EXTRA $10,000 Prospects Are That Bows manville Will Have to Ins crease Its Tax Rate The town of Bowmanville is fac. ed with paying an extra $10,000 |in taxes towards the expenses on the l'aited Counties, according to the latest figuring by local barris- This is based on an average and estis mated expenditure of the year of $260,000, Bowmanville has been assessed in tho recent equalization nearly two hiundrtd per cent. more than previously and their percents age liability has been increased to 6.9779 per cent, or practically seven per cent. 'This lability is the per centage of the total ex- penditures to be made in the coun- ties this year and which is to be paid as Bowmanville's share of these expenses. : On this basis, Bowmanville will have to pay towards county expen- ditures this year the sum of $26,~ 200, or $10,100 more than was paid by the town last year. As' $2,076 rhised by taxation in the town represents a mill, it will be plainly seen that the town will either have to cut its own expen- dftures to the hone or raise the mill rate close to five mills, It is with great difficulty that . most people in the town get any sense at all out of this equaliza. tion, and it is these figures that are estimated by the Town Treas. urer and the Mayor and local bar- ristors that give some idea of what it will cost the town. The towns ship of Darlington will, according to their liability, pay considerably less this year to the county and that seems to have been the pur pose of tho equalization. the un. burdening of the farmer and the imposition of higher taxes on ur- ban dwellers.
