ORMISTON DAILY TIMES NO CHANGE WILL BE MADE IN ROAD T0 UXBRIDGE TOWN County Roads Committee Suggests Second Road When Times Are ' Good The County Roads Committee tn its report presented to the County Council on Friday night, by Chairman Albert W, Jackson, reeve of Whitby, recommended that the seventh concession of Reach, known as the Epsom road, be retained as at present as the outlet from the town of Uxbridge to the Whitby-Lindsay Highway, and suggested that when county finances will permit, that conces- sion 12, Reach, be taken over by the county as a second highway outlet. The committee had a request from Uxbridge Town Council ask- ing that the 9th concession of Reach be substituted for the sev- enth as a more direct route, while there was a petition with over 400 signatures asking that the pre- sent road be retained. Petitions were also presented for the sub- stitution of the 9th and 10th con- cessions. The recommendation of the committee to retain the present road, was carried after sevcral amendments had been voled down. The committee recommended repairs to a number of bridges and culverts throughout the county. As this is economy year rew works are practically nil. Old Age Pensions Alleged negligence in the Cen- tral Old Age Pensions Board ol- fice, stopping cheques after the deaths of pensioners, was cos!- ing the county money unless it was reclaimed, declared the coun- iy Old Age Pensions Board, in presenting its report, through' the secretary, Owen Davies, Chair- man John Low, of Uxbridge, pcinted out that recently the sec- retary had managed to secure from the department a rebate of $700 from a $900 claim, and he was still attempting to get $400 more which was coming from this county. Reeve George Till, of Reach, suggested that all municipal clerks be notified of the names of pensioners. He pointed out that cierks could then notify the Board jmmediately of deaths. Instances were given of cheques being re- ceived for a year after the deaths bf the pensioners. While none had been cashed the county would lose unless they were closely checked, as the county was charg- ed with the share of pensions on the books, it was explained. The report of the Board gave some interesting statistical infor- mation which showed that the ncmber of pensions in the county is increasing. The local Board incidentally, has been highly com- mended by the head office for its werk. The committee on legislation and memorials presented a report dealing with a number of resolu- tions from other counties. The report was adopted. "Doesn't it ever rain in this country?" "Rain? Why, there's frogs in this town over five years old that hain"t learned to swim yet." Too Late To Classify DIVANETTE FOR SALE CHEAP. Phone 1435W. (133b) CAPABLE REFINED WOMAN housework in good home.

NO ACCIDENTS OVER WEEK END Drivers Using More Care, Traffic Officer Observes - No accidents on the Provincial Highway from Toronto to a con- siderable distance east, were re- ported over the week-end by traf- fic Officer Sidney Hilliard. Owing to the wet weather, traffic was somewhat lighter than the pre- vicus, Sunday, but the officer re- ported that drivers, owing to the wet pavements, seemed to be ex- ercising more care. Tourist traf- fic is now on the move, &s is in- dicated by the number of Am- erican cars passing through Whitby. It is not expected that it will be as heavy this year as last, owing to the financial de- pression. Chief Quantrill of Whitby also reported a quiet day, not one call coming in to the police station Sunday or Saturday. One observes numerous cars coming from, the west with brake test notices ob- tained in Toronto and other cities. The chief believes that the brake test system has greatly reduced the number of accident on the highways. SOCIETY VISITED HISTORIC TEMPLE Sharon, June 8.--Despite the inclement weather, the members of the York Pioneer and Histori- cal Society today made their an- nual pilgrimage to Sharon Tem- ple, along with a large number 't those who are interested in the story of York County. The main feature of this year's program was the address of Sir William Mulock, the "Grand Old Man' of York County, who, in the course of his remarks related the history of the famous temple which is over a.century old and kept in a state of preservation by the so- ciety. Sir William traced events back to 1801, when David Wilson, a pioneer of Irish parentage, settled in the township of East Gwillim- bury. Describedytas sa-man of strong religious convictions, he was said to be unwilling to sub- mit to control ,and this charac- teristie, said the speaker, was probably responsible for his with- drawal from the Society of Friends, to which he had be- longed. Immediately after mak- ing the break he was instrumen- tal in forming a new sect, which chose to be named "The Children of Peace." In time, they built Sharon Temple, which, said Sir William, has been kept intact as a fitting memorial to his work and influence. Dealing with the early hisfory of the Gwillimburys, Sir William recalled that they were no named in honor of the family of the wife of Upper Canada's first Governor, John Graves Simcoe, Humorously he remarked: "It was more com- plimnetary than. calling three townships in Simcoe County Flos, Tiny and Tay, in honor of three lap-dogs owned by a subsequent Governor's wife." In closing, Sir William paid tribute to those who, bravely facing hardships and difficulties, had, despite the perils to which they were exposed, established a reign of law and civil freedom. "We of today are enjoying the 4 to. H SATISFIED WITH WEATHER The heavy rains of the last few days have done a lot for the gar- dens of the city and district. Po- tatoes, in some gardens, have grown six inches during the last three days with other produce making similar progress. Gaid- eners are among the few people quite satisfied with the weather conditions. W. A.

It gives best wesults with horses at work, and the inclusian of bran or a feed of alfalfa or alfalfa and timothy hay, will prevent any of the undesirable results attributed to this grain. When well hoiled, with the un- absorbed liquid taken up with bran, with the addition of a cup or so of molasses and a pinch of common salt, or a tablespoon of Claubers salts, barley forms one of the best conditioning feeds for a horse, fed two or three nights weekly, or even each night for a period. Barley is extensively used as a horse feed in other countries, netably in Africa, certain coun- tries of the Orient and in Europe When the price is rig and when fed in a properly balanced ration, barley may he economic ally fed to horses.-- Department of Agriculture, Ottawa. | YORK TOWNSHIP'S 1 BUILDING RECORD Toronto, June 5 bulletin issued Major J.

(". Brown, chairman of the British { Columbia Division, said in pre- senting hs report to the conventon of the Canadian Manufacturers' Association Tuesday. New Zealand's action in with- drawning the British preference from Canada, combined with the Camadian budget provision placing a duty on tin plate, would hit the canned salmon industry hard, the speaker said. Mr. Brown's address forcibly directed the attention of the manufacturers across the Pac- ific. He was hoping from day to day to see announcement of the | conclusion of a new. agreement with Australia which would con- tinue the present preference on paper, fish and lumber and ex- tend that on lumber. Since the to take from | June 5.--"It is termination last October of the agreement with : Ney Zealand, trade with that Dominion had fal- len off rapidly. Mr. Brown urged most strongly that the association should send | delegates to New Zealand and Ja- | pan. | The report of the Prairie Divi- | sion read by Arnold Smith, Win- nipeg, said "the courageous man- ner in which our agricultural pop- ulation has prepared for another crop should be a very definite cor rective fo those fatalists who ap- pear to think that our economic | fabric is irretrievably damaged. It is more than likely 'that the pos- ition of our overseas markets for grain and farm produce will stead- ily improve." R. J. Butchings, Calgary, said the formers were buckling down to putting in a crop at half the price of late years, due to the cost of seed and other elements. The Prairies, he declared, were going to maintain their position of grow- ing the best wheat and supplying it to the world markets. Complete Surprise The Ontario Corporations Tax Act imposing a tax of one-tenth of one per cent on capital of all companies carrying on business in the province, came as a com- plete surprise and was exceeding- ly objectionable, the Catario Div- igion report presented by J. M. McIntosh, secretary, said. In regard to the automgbhile in- surance situation in Ontario, the report said, it was conceivable that if the Government undertook to establish rates of insurance it must take responsibility for them, nUder such circumstances a posi- tion of considerable embarrass- ment might arise if insurance comnanies induced to take busi- ness at unprofitable rates. The report of the Quebec Divi- sion, read hy W. H. Miner, Mon- treal, said that "with possibly the exception of the Maritime Provin- ceg, we, in Quebec, believe we have suffered less from the period of depression than any of the other provinces." The volume of manufacture was very little below that of a year ago, but naturally there was a much narrower mar- gin of profit "Business is more difficult to secure and we do not look forward to infmediate return of good tim- es," the report said. "We feel that the convalescent period will not be long and that gradually business will return to normal." The Maritime Provi 8 report, read by A. I,.
