Hinkson, of Whitby. and stolen from in front of the United Church on Sunday even- ing, was found abandoned by Pro- vincial Trafic Office Hawkshaw just east of Oshawa. The car, a coupe, did not appear to be damaged. The police have no clues to work on in determining who stole the car. When the theft was reported by Mr. Hinkson Chief Quantill got in touch with other police officers in the district. Apparently the thief or thieves were aware that they were being watched as the car was found not driven far from the town. ANNUAL BANQUET ~ OF FIRST WHITBY BOY SCOUT TROOP Assistant Provincial Com. missioner Was the Guest of Honor The annual Father and Son ban- quet in connection with the First Whithy Troop of Boy Scouts, held in the Parish Hall of All Saints' Church on Friday evening, proved to be a very successful event and a stimulus to Scout work in the town. There was a good representation of members of the troop and not a few dads. The chairman and toastmas- ter was the rector, Rev. E. Ralph Adye, and in this capacity he ex- celled himself. The guest speaker for the evening was F. C. Irwin. of Toronto, assistant provincial com- missioner, and one of the outsand- ing Scout leaders in the province: The banquet was prepared by the mothers of the Scouts and served.by the Girl Guides, the menu being of the appetising and tempting variety, and comprising many things that boys like. Following the toast to the King, by Scout W. Ruddy, and responded to by Reeve Albert W. Jackson. The which was the signal for lusty sing. ing of the National anthem, the toast to the "Dads" was proposed latter praised the high ideals of ser- vice as outlined in the Scout man- ual and code of ethics, and paid tri- bute to the very fine work for the boys of the town being carried on by Scoutmaster Hugh Baker. Mr. Jackson was heartily in sympathy with the Scout movemtnt in that it gave a boy a new outlook on life and taught him things he should know. The toast to the "Sons," was pro. posed in arpleasing manner by Post- master. Frank T. Mathieson, of Osh- awa, .and who 'concurred in what Reeve Jackson had said about the value of Scout training, and paid his personal tribute to the Scout- master. Keith Jackson very ably re. sponded to this toast, and his out- line of what the Scout movement stands for and what it hopes to ac- hieve in boy life was very well ex- pressed. Keith will make a good orator when he grows older. Scoutmaster Hugh Baker pro ed the toast to the "Scouts," and in a most interesting address gave his hearers a good account of the acti: vitiesc of the past year. He thanked the Scouts for their loyalty to him and Scout principles, also the par- ents of the boys for their valuable interest and co-operation. The First Whitby Troop, he stated, was mak- ing progress. The speaker of the evening. Mr. Irwin, responded to this toast, giving a lengthy and in. teresting resume of the history of the Scout movement from its in- ception until now. An interesting announcement was to the effect that provision was now being made whereby crippled children could be come Boy Scouts and Girl Guides on a special basis, being taught things that they could do although disabled physically. Mr. Irwin saw in the Scout movement a great in- fluence for good in the lives of boys everywhere. The toast to the "Church," was proposed by Howard Hazel, who stated that the Scouts were grateful for the use of the Parish Hall and the help and sympathy received from church officials and members. Mr. H. J. Gale responded, assuring the Scouts that they had the whole- hearted support of the church in their work. An Interesting number on the program was the presentation of merit badges to nine of the troop, this ceremony being performed by Mr. Irwin. The singing of the Nationa An- them brought to a close a red letter event for the First Whitby Boy Scout Troop. in er of in in equipped to assist Mother Nature the earth with edibles and floral loveliness.

BE. Willis, John Akey, who was with the woman, was fined $5.00 and costs for driving a car without a permit. No liquor was found in the car. The man and woman were taken into custody by Chief Quantrill when a local service station phoned that they were disorderly. The man gave IMs address as Peterboro, and this was confirmed by telephone to that city. The pair paid their fines and were ordered to leave the town after the man had secured a driving license. THE DUMBELLS BRING "HAPPY DAYS" It would seem that congratula- tions are in order. First, to Capt. M. W. Plunkett and his famous Dumbells Company on the fact that this, their twelfth season, rapidly drawing to a close, has been the most successful tour on record. "Happy Days', their cur- rent revue, has been a phenom- enal hit right from its premiere last September. Congratulations may he extended further to include the theatre-going public of the en- tire Dominion. Their loyalty, even after the rather disappoint- ing eleventh year, has made this record twelfth a possibility. To be sure, good news travels fast-- nearly as fast as bad news--und the word went out last fall that Capt. Plunkett had made a ten strike, or rather a twelve strike, with his production of 'Happy Days." Of the original overseas enter- tainers gleaned from the four di- visional parties of the C.E.F., sev- eral are still with. the show, in- cluding Capt. Plunkett, himself, Al, Plunkett, 'Red' Newman, Pat, Rafferty, Cameron Geddes, Char- lie Jeeves, Curly Nixon, ete.,ete. They are the boys who lend auth- onticity to the various war-time sketches and trench songs. Thelr close association covers a poriod of more than fourteen years, when they have seen and listened to one another almost every day, in dug-outs, on trains, in theatres, busses and hotels. No wonder that Capt. Plunkett decided to add a chorus of pretty girls'to his all-man organization. Then again, youth must serve youth, and while the boys of the old brigade are not yet given to long beards, they have graduated from their high school days. The present offering is a happy and joyous combination of the soldier show of a dozen years ago and the modern girl-and- music-revue that may be found playing to packed houses in any large city on this continent or in Europe today. The Dumbells are billed to pre- sent 'Happy Days' at the Regent Tuesday night at 11 p.m., under the auspices of the Canadian Le- gion, the profits going to the Pop- py Fund. WEDDING ANNIVERSARY Members of the degree staff of Victoria Lodge, L.T.B., No. 55, met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. Short, Burke street, Friday evening to celebrate with them their 30th wedding anniversary. A most enjoyable evening was spent, Mr. and Mrs, Short being the recipients of many beautiful gifts. A buffet lunch was served by Mrs, A. Short Jr., and Miss Em- ma Short. ANOTHER SHOWER Another shower of rain fell in this district last night. Follow- ing as it did the recent downpour of last Thursday, the ground has now been well soaked with mols- ture. Trees are now in bud, ear- ly spring flowers are blooming and all indications point to a pleasant spring.

Issues Statement in Reply to Bennett's Remarks Saskatoon, Sask., April 25.-- Need of clothing relief on thou- sands of farms in Saskatchewan is stressed in a statement issued by the United Farmers of Can- ada, Saskatchewan Section, here recently. : The statement is in reply to re- marks made in the House of Com- mon on 'Tuesday by Right Hon. R. B. Bennett, Prime Minis- ter of Canada. Clothing has been sent out by the Red Cross to 2,000 families; to 670 families by the United Farm- ers of Canada, and to 350 families by the Wheat 'Pool, it is declared in the statement. In addition the U.F.C. has on file applications for relief from over 100 families. Relief opera- tions, it is pointed out, have also been carried on by the press of the province, the Salvation Army, the Canadian Legion, the ghurches, the Jewish community an oth- er organizations. "Since last fall about 500 mem- bers of the U.F.C. have appealed to the legal adviser of the association for assistance in their financial difficulties. Retail ' stores and business organizations in Saska- toon are experiencing thd great- est difficulty in carrying on busi- ness, and are making drastic re- ductions in their staffs.' "These are facts," says the statement, '"'and facts will not give place to statements, even though made by Prime Ministers. In reply to Mr. Bennett's re- mark that tens: of thousands of farmers have substantial bank ac- counts, it is pointed out that far- mers are losing money on every bushel of wheat they grow, and in these circumstances the bank bal- ances are not likely to last very long. Many of the bank hHalances it is urged, are from sources oth- er than agriculture. "Mr. Bennett state," says the U.F.C., that $300,000,000 are {in- vested in automobiles and trac- tors and that this bespeaks the solvency and economic wall-heing of the people of the West. Even farmers must have some means of getting about the country and must have some means of carrying on work," continued the statem: nt, "Has Mr, = Bennett considered bow much time would be loat in the summer if the farmers were to depend on the antiquated hug- by? Has he considerad that if they did not possess tractors that they would at least have to keep large teams of horses to do the necessary work, and, by tla v.y, economists bave not yet bee1 are to advise us which method is the most economical. Again, it would he pertinent to ask why Mr. Ben- nett omitted to state how many millions of dollars are owing on these automobiles and tractors. Farmers may have heen in many cases injudicious in incurring tte expense associated with these na- chines, but we have got to» deal with conditions as they exist." NEW ECONOMIC REPORTS ISSUED Department of the Interior Conducts Surveys in Vari- ous Counties in Ontario In view of the ever growing de- mand for detailed information re- garding Canadian development and opportunities the Department of the Interior, through the National De- velopment Bureau, has instituted a series, of economic reports dealing mainly with the resources and in- dustries of small areas: It is pro- posed to cover various counties in Ontario and Quebec and other eco- nomic areas throughout the Domin- fon. These reports which are compiled with the co-operation of municipal councils, boards of trade, and re- presentatives of industry aim to pre- sent in compact form the principal facts concerning the natural re- sources of the county dealt with. To date six counties in Ontario have been covered by these economic re- ports, namely, Dundas, Stormont, Lennox amd Addington, Hastings, Frontenac, and Peterborough, while the compilation of reports dealing with Leeds and Grenville counties is at present prceeding. Work has also been started in Quebec in the Eastern Townships and a report on the county of Shefford is in course of preparation. Agriculture, which is of consid- erable importance in most of the areas covered, receives a large meas- ure of attention in each of the re- ports. Dairying is indicaten as generally the leading branch of the industry in this part of the prov- ince, Where fur farming has been introduced rapid development has taken place and it forms a valuable new source of income. Other sec- tions include forestry, giving types and distribution; economic miner- als, describing the geology of the area and the mineral occurrences; water-powers, . including developed and undeveloped sites, distribution, and rates; and recreational re- sources, and polits the way for the sporting attractions, roads, and ho- tels. The chapter on industrial devel- opment covers a general summary of the situation with the industries grouped for easy reference. In ad- dition to the other important data, information regarding the raw materials used by the various manu- facturers, with the and quantities, are also given. This part of the report also directs at- tention to the amount of raw mate rials. and semi-manufactured and manufactured products imported in- to the area whether from other parts of Canada or from foreign surces, and pints the way fr the re- renlacement of the foreign imports with goods fabricated within the area or of Canadian origin. Ano- ther section deals with the history of the region while a chapter is also devoted to population, its distribu- tion and origins. Education, topo- graphy, climate, transportation, la- bour, and municipal statistics are dealt with while short paragraphs describe the various incorporated urban and rural centres. In order to complete the picture of a country's economic develop- ment, a lithographed map in two colours accompanies each report.

NORWAY HOUSE I$ INTERESTING PLACE Was Point of Great Import- ance in Early Days of Fur Trade One of the most place-names in the province of Manitoba, according to the Geo- graphic Board of Canada, is Nor- way House, famous over a century ago as a district' headquarters of the Hudson's Bay Company after that company had amalgamated with its rival, the North West Company, in 1821, The post, how- ever, is much older than that date, having been founded in 1801. Strategically located on the Nel- son river, in the vicinity of the tributary Jack river twenty-five miles north of Lake Winnipeg, Norway House was the great in- land depot of the fur-traders, Sit- uated in the middle of a triangle, of which the angles were York Factory, Fort Garry, and Fort Edmonton, it was the meeting place of the brigades of York boats carrying manufactured goods from the Hudson Bay port and of the canoe brigades bringing furs from the north, west, and south, The cargoes were exchanged and boatmen and canoemen raced bark with all possible speed towards their several starting points to complete their long journeys be- fore lakes and rivers were closed by ice. Thus the governor and his aldes, by visiting Norway House for a 'month in the summer, were able to meet the company's rep- resentatives from all their vast territories and to learn at once the measure of success of the year's trading. The story of the origin of the name of Norway House is a roman- tic one. In 1814 Governor Thomas of Hudeon's Bay Company station- ed at York Factory was informed from London that Norwegian axe- men were being sent out to con- struct a road between lake Winni- peg and Hudson bay in the belief that more goods could be carried by horse and sleigh in the winter than by boat in summer. The Nor- wegians came into the country via York Factory and spread out along the route of the proposed road. One of the Norwegian contingents took up quarters on the strip of land which forms a peninsula be- tween lake Winnipeg and lake Playgreen, the latter body of water being in fact the Nelson river which, on leaving lake Win- nipeg, debouches at once into a lakelike expanse. Among the trap- pers and Red River settlers the landing place' at the end of the peninsula became known as Nor- wegian or Norway point. Shortly afterwards the Hudson's Bay Com- pany"s post founded at Jack river in 1801 was temporarily removed to this peninsula, and was on that account called Norway ,h House, a name which it retgined when later the post as moved back again to its original location. Thus. the famous trading post received its distinctive name. It 18 on record that in 1815 Lord Selkirk's Red River settlers, fleeing from the attacks of the forces of the North West Com- pany to the shelter of the Hud- son's Bay Company's post a little further down the Nelson river, visited the Norwegians at Norway point. Many of them remained at Norway point until they returned to their settlements on the Red River later on in the year. Several of the Norwegia®s, the roadway project having been abandoned, ac- companied the settlers on the re- turn journey in order to assist in the gathering of the crops and the re-establishment of homes. Changing trade-routes robbed Norway House of its old-time glory but it has remained a trading post of the Hudson's Bay Company, and, with the future development of that part of Manitoba, it may again become prominent. INCREASE IN TRADE FORESEEN BY DAVIS Manufacturers' Association Head Returns From South America Toronto, April 25.~--(C.P.)--A hopeful outlook: for an increase in Canada's trade with South Ameri- can countries was expressed re- cently by Elmer Davis, of King- ston, Ont., president of the Cana- dian Manufacturers' Association who has just returned from a trip to South America, and presided yesterday afternoon at the meet- ing of the executive council of the association, Mr. Davis said Cana- [i@g® are popular in South Ameri- d there will be Increasing Ne Gunities for the sale of Cana- pducts, igements were made by for a party of members, Eby the President and W. yrs. of Montreal, 1st vice- interesting SALADA 'Fresh from the gardens' 174 president, to meet the the Federation of British Indus- tries in Montreal, April 27.

Trachoma, sometimes called "granulated eye- lids" or 'red sore eyes," is an in- flamation of the lining of the eye- lids. Trachoma among the white population of the United States is not confined to any sharply defined area, but in general is prevalent in the States of West Virgina, Ken- tucky, Eastern Tennessee and Wes- tern Virgina, Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma. In connection with this work, small 'hospitals usually located in residences provided by the com- munity have been established in areas where this disease prevails. Much progress has been made to- wards eradicating the" condition, but there are yet may cases of tra- choma, particularly in the moun- tainous areas of the country that re- quire treatment. A statement recently issued by the Public Health Service, "Advice to Persons with Trachoma," is giv- en as follows: ~--Place yourself under treat- ment by a reputable physician with. out delay--a specialist if possible. Continue treatment until the physi- clan dismisses you. 2.--Do not be discouraged if your doctor fails to cure you in a few party of weeks. Many cases of trachoma re quire treatment off and on for t or three years. 3.--Keep your face clean, es ally about the eyes. 4.--Have clean handkerchiefs clean cloths to wipe your eyes withi, See that they are boiled or burne after use. big | 5.--Do not leave your towel hs { soap, or washbasin where other pergily sons can use them, or they may alsajly get trachoma. { 6.--Babies may contract trac! ma; s0 be careful in cleaning t baby's eyes to use wash rags have been boiled. 7.-- Persons with trachom should not be exposed to dust, h ever, if you must work in a dusty, place, dust goggles will give yo some prodtection. Wear them on ere when working in the dust. Sh 8.--Remember that the wearingr of dark glasses continuously ten a to weaken the eyes. Wear them on 1 ly when you are in bright sunshinejt i 9.--Glasses will not cure tracho* ma. Do not let anyone sell yo glasses in the hope that they wil d cure your condition.
