ORMISTON Stone Pile May ; Be Restored At | The County Gaol If the announcement of the Hon, Leopold Macauley, Pro- * wvincial Secretary, is made ef- fective the stone pile will be re- introduced in Provincial pri- sons and in County gaols where special employment and routine work do not provide for all in- mates being fully occupied dur- ing working hours, to what ex- lies to Ontario : ere is a matter "for the authorities to say, but it "is known that, when the number of inmates is much greater than half a dozen, and that is quite often, it is not always possible _ to provide work for all. As cir- cumstances permit, some men are engaged daily outside the walls, in the buildings and about the grounds. The inside of the gaol is kept spotlessly clean and everything is constantly.in order, but these assignments and work outside is insufficient to employ many men. In the early nineties the stone pile was introduced at the Whitby bastile, and it was re- sorted to whenever necessary until a few years ago, when it "was abolished. The sound of the stone ham- mer may again be heard ecom- ing from behind gaol walls in Whitby. The question of organizing a Re- nection with the Chamber of Com- merce was discussed at a meeting of the Executive held in the Coun- cil Chamber on Tuesday evening, with a large attendance. It was felt that such an organization would pring the merchants together to work hand in hand with the Cham- deal with matters relative to local mittee of W. A. Holliday, F, J. Mc- Don. Wilson was named to look into the mutter and report at the next executive meeting. Want Better Mall Service President F. H. M, Irwin brought up the question of an improved 'mail service from Whitby to Tor- onto and points west. At present there is only one mail daily west, other one could be secured it would prove a valuable asset to local business houses. A committee of F. H. M. Irwin, G. M. @oodfel- low and A. E. Kearney was named to take this matter up with the postal authorities, and report back. Gas Franchise Proposal Reve Albert W. Jackson outlin- ed for the benefit of the Executive the gas franchise proposal which is now before the Town Council, and which may shortly go before the people for a vote, The reéeve stated that the company wished a fran- chise for 60 years, and had offer- ed to sell gas at centain specified prices. He thought it was a very important mater and one which the Chamber of Commerce should be acquainted with in order that it might be prepared to co-operate with Council should opportunity arrive, The proposal was discussed in- formally among the members, and it will no 'doubt come up again, The Executive dealt with a num- ber of communications, and trans- acted general business. The ques- tion of a luncheon was discussed but nothing definite was decided. CHECKERS ARE MOVING Chief Quantal wins and will hold the Whitby championship for 1931. The final score was 10 to 7 and 3 draws out of the 20 games prescrib- ed. Capt. Best was the first to con- gratulate the Chief on his victory. It was a close race. At the half way Capt. Best was up 2 games, but the steady, careful and scientific play of the Chief's slowly overcame the lead and gave him the vistory by 3 games up. Now Harold Quantrill will be the first name on the beautiful sil- ver cup presented the Checker Club by His Worship Mayor Bowman. The cup must be won three times before it will be owned by any individual. So it's everybody's cup yet. On Friday evening of this week the local team will journey to To- ronto to play the return game with "Neilson's," Two weeks ago the Chocolate makers won by five games and the question is, Can they do it again?

Sclater, of St. Andrew's United Church, Toronto, one of Canada's outstanding preach- ers, was the speaker at the annual meeting of the Whitby Branch of the Upper Canada Bible Society held in All Saints' Church last Wednesday evening. The large audience gather- ed to hear him were not disappoint- ed, for his address was one of the most interesting and scholarly ever heard on the occasion of this annual meeting. "Sometimes one indulges in the pleasant occupation of wondering in- to which age, if he had had his choice, he would most like to have been born," said Dr. Sclater in open- ing his address. With this as a start- ing point, he proceeded to. review the particular achievements of vari- ous centuries, most of them with some noteworthy attainment or char- acteristic to their credit. As compar- ed with many others, the 19th cen- tury might not have been the most romantic, but that it did produce two outstanding figures, namely, the Canadian pioneer and the mission- ary. The story of both of these fig- ures is one of an intensely romantic nature. Further, the speaker point- ed out that the early days of the nineteenth century had produced the British and Foreign Bible Society, which, after a hundred years, has produced the Bible in about 600 tongues and dialects. The story of this great achieve- ment, and of the development of the work of the Society, was told in brief but vivid language. Dr. Sclater's father, a native of the Orkney Islands, on the north- east coast of Scotland, went as a missionary to South Africa in 1868. Fifty-five years later, on the field of battle in France, Dr. Sclater met two Kafir chaplains whose grand- father had been the first convert of his father's mission in South Africa. This in itself illustrated the romance of the work being accomplished by the Bible Society, which aids the missionaries by the distribution of vast numbers of Bibles and portions of the Scriptures. Dr. Sclater had a 'word to say about the beautiful King James ver- sion of the Bible, given to the world in 1611. He believed it to be the pro- duct of some of the most brilliant English scholars and men of letters that England has ever known, and he deplored the use of other versions for public reading. They were in- tended only for assisting in a better understanding of the Bible, and he cited James Moffatt's statement that he did not think he would ever have written his translation of the Bible had he known it was to be read in pulpits. Dr. Sclater went so far as to say, jocularly, that he thought if it were possible there ought to be a law enacted to prevent the reading of these other versions at public services. Just as the Book of Common Prayer forms a bond of union and common understanding between all churches of the Anglican com- munion, though they may entertain differing views on matters of minor concern, so the Holy Bible forms a silken bond of unity between all Christian churches of the world. The Bible is, said the speaker, at once the most beautiful, the most wonder- ful, the most fascinating and the most powerful book ever written. The service was conducted by Rev. E. Ralph Adye, rector of All Saints', Rev. D. B, Langford, Rev. Dr. Scla- ter and Rev. T. F. Best assisting. That part of the meeting devoted to business was in charge of the President of the Society, G. M. Goodfellow, who expressed apprecia- tion of the large attendance, and of the fact that Dr. Sclater had been secured as speaker. He extended thanks on behalf of the Society to those who had undertaken the work of collecting funds and who had made an excellent success of that work, due to the generous contribu- tion of citizens. He also referred to the resignation as President of T. 8. Loach, due to ill health, and ex- tended sympathy in the recent great afflictions which he had suffered; to the services of Miss Edith Conner, as Seeretary-Treasurer, during the absence from town of A. G. Brown- ing, who, he was glad to note, had returned to take up permanent resi- dence in Whitby; and to the services of A. W. Beall, who was in charge of the collectors during the year, al- so extending sympathy to Mr. Beall in his recent bereavement. The report of the Baerotaty- Treasurer, A. G. Browning, K. C,, was most gratifying, showing near- ly $300 collected during the past few months for the general work of the Society. Mr. Browhing's report was as follows: | Statement, Whitby Bible Society, March 4¢h, 1930, to March 4th, 1931 | Mar. 4, '30--Balance in Bank $160.64 | Collections at meeting, on March.

HOSPITAL During last week's games in the Ontario Hospital league, the Sena- tors by taking four points from the Robins, have now clinched first place in the league. Each Senator was right on form and rolled the high- est team score of 2496, while J. Cunningham and L. Dewsbury, re- spectively, turned in the fine score of 731 for three games and 307 for one game. A chosen team met a representa- tive team from the central alleys in Oshawa during the week and the Hospital teams reported a great time by all but as the score sheets were not returned this. would seem a fair indication of the play. How- ever, Mr. Purdy, of the Central Al- leys, is now anxious to meet the Hospital's best and promises to have the kalsomine handy. Four teams of 20 players from the Hospital will play the Civil Ser- vice Assoc. in Toronto on Friday night and another rousing battle is expected.

New Parish Hall For All Saints Is Contemplated An enthusiastic meeting of All Saints' Men's Association heart- ily endorsed the project of build- ing a new Parish Hall, on Tues- day evening last, and plans were thoroughly discussed for the fin- ancing of the building, which will replace the present hall in use for so many years, A sum of money, amounting to $146, subscribed through the "Buy a Brick" campaign some time ago, was ordered transfer- red to the Parish Hall Building Fund, which has now been es- tablished. An amount of $20.94 donated by the Evening Branch of the W. A,, is to be placed in this fund also, which will bring the Building Fund up to nearly $200, and amounts are being added every day which will pro- vide a basis for a really ade- quate fund to enable the Church to commence the work. The need for such a hall has long been apparent, At present the Sunday School room lacks adequate accommodation, while for parish activities more room is required, 27 "TOURNAMENTS ARE VERY POPULAR The attendance at the Whitby Crib- bage Club tournaments is growing.

Flowers and Harry Tate for second place but in the play-off painlessly extracted a victory from his oppon- ents.

C, Wilder, Chas. Bar- ton, Cyril Heard, Victor Maffey, R. Wilkinson, Dr, Beaton, A. W, Miller, James Mowat, S. Gibson, C. Rycroft, Bert Geal, John Larkin, Dr. Hudson, William Stone, George Anderson.
