REPRESENTATIVE--JAMES H. ORMISTON DAILY TIMES news will be received at the COUNCIL FAVORS CONFERENCE ON UNEMPLOYMENT Extend Time For Payment of Taxes--Ratify Agreement 'Whitby town council believes that much could be accomplish- ed to relieve unemployment if a conference of the municipalities and industrial leaders was called at an early date by Premier George S. Henry . At the regular meeting on Tuesday, a resolution was endorsed, favoring a resolu- tion passed by the Council of the City of Sarnia, suggesting that such a conference be called, and peinting out that the need for employment promised to be gerat both this year and in 1932, Council voted to extend the time for payment of the first in- stalment of 1931 taxes, without penalty, to Saturday, July 4th. The firit demand was made on June 15th, and some $11;000 was paid in on that date. Council is apxious, however, in these stren- uoys times, to give the ratepay- ers every consideration. To the Committee on Avnplica- tions was referred a resolution passed by the Council of Jha City of East Windsor, calling nupoa the provincial government to assure the care of all tubercular patients by establishing sanitarium units at a much lower cost than is row paid by other institutions. A bylaw was passed to anthor- ize the mayor and clerk to exe- cute an agreement between the township of Whitby and the town of Whitby, dealing with the re- pair and maintenance of certain streets of highways which form part of the boundaries between the two municipalities. This agreement will be in force for ten years. Vimy Ridge Lodge, 1.0.B.A., was given permission to hold a tag day on Saturday, July 4th. The Finance Committee will consider a plan of pensions for aged employees of the town sub- mitted by the Sun Life Assurance Company. A letter was read from the On- tario Municipal Association ack- nowledging receipt of a resolu- tion passed by Council two weeks ago, which suggested an amend- ment to the Municiap Act which would empower municipalities to impose a license on all mail order houses.

With her parents she came to Upper Canada in 1841 and set- tled at Columbus. She was a consistent and loyal life-long member of the Methodist Church. Her home was ever the welcome rendezvous of the ministers of whatever name, in her homes at Walford, Algoma, and Spult Ste. Marie, Ontario, where she had resided ever since she left Whit- by in 1889. She was a stsunch temperance woman, and prohibi- tionist, and in politics she was an ardent Conservative. She is sur- vived by two daughters, Miss Ger- trude Beall Way, R.N., of Sault Ste.

LEGION AUXILIARY T0 HOLD PICNIC Presentation Made to Mrs. F. E. Burnley at Tues- day Night's Meeting At the regular meeting of the La- dies' Auxiliary of the Canadian Le- gion, held in the Council Chamber on Tuesday night, arrangements were made for a picnic for the members of the auxiliary and their children. The picnic is to be held at Cream of Barley Park, Bowman- ville, on Monday, July 29, and is to confined to the members of the auxiliary and their families. Plans were made for a program of sports and entertainment, which is expect- ed to make the picnic a very en- joyable event, ' One new member was initiated into the membership of the branch at last night's meeting. A pleasing feature was the pre- sentation of a handsome gift to Mrs. F. E. Burnley, who is leaving on Thursday of this week for a hol- iday in England. Mrs Burnley was completely taken by surprise by the thoughtfulness of her comrades, as expressed in the address of pre- sentation, and made an appropriate reply expressing her appreciation, The address which accompanied the airt was as follows: "Dear Mrs. Burnley: We, the officers and members of the Ladies Auxiliary of the Cana- dian Legion, thought that before you leave us on your visit to your home land in England, that it is our duty and pleasure to gather here and wish God speed and a pleasant visit and a safe journey, both going and returning, so we ask you to ac- cept this little present, and we hope that every time you look at it, you will think of the Comrades." PRETTY SGENE PRESENTED IN KINDERGARTEN Tiny Tots Performed Charming Exercises Today Decorated to represent a Japanese Garden, the Kindergarten room of Centre Street School presented a very pretty picture this morning for the closing exercises or "Flora Day" which it was named this year.

This is the first attempt Miss Ellis has made at training the little ones for a play and it is true that the result was_well worth her effort. Mar- guerite Healey was the story-teller and very clearly she recited a pretty story of springtime. Then while the audience closed their eyes and pretended that a curtain had been dropped, three little maidens, took their places in the centre of the floor. When the music started Mir- ian Swartz as "Spring" dressed in a dainty little frock danced about and touched each of the figures crouch- ed under cloaks on the floor, call- ing the first, "Snowdrop" who was Natalie Ward, the second "Crocus" who was Olga Peters, and third "Violet" who was Myrtle Jones, These three spring flowers did not rise from the ground until they were assurred that "Winter", Steve Morphy, had past by the three spring birds, Bluebird, Douglas In- man, Robin, Bobsie Miller, and Oriole, Jack Cannon.

In the industrial section, however a marked im not sensa- tional, advance has taken place, partly owing to bear covering and encouraged by the greater steadi- ness in Wall Street, "The Finan- cial News" industrial index has risen during the period from 56.2 to 58 and thus is back to the level of a month ago. A welcome rally in British rails set in toward the end of the week. There was no especially favorable news to account for it but there was a general recogni- tion that though the volume of selling in this section was small, prices had been marked down disproportionately and' the bears, becoming nervous, started a rally by covering operations. British funds continued firm under the influence of the gold influx, It is recognized, however, that in so far as this is due to imports from Germany, it is by no means a favorable develop- ment, Financial circles are view: ing developments in that country with increasing concern and ner- vousness and this has been re- flected in the steady fall of Ger- man bonds and other central European issues. The foreign bond market, however, has been saved from ut- ter gloom by the strong rally in Brazilians. Large sinking fund purchases are now taking place in some issues. : Rally in British Exchange City and Distict News | ATTENDED CONVENTION : Representatives of the laundry industry from Ontario to Nova Scotia were in session for three days last week at Ottawa. E. P. Eveleigh, of the Oshawa Laun- dry and Dry Cleaning Co. Ltd., who attended the meeting, com- menting on the general position of the laundry industry as dis- closed by the discussions and sta- tistics presented, stated that never before was the home man- ager and housewife getting bet- ter work and service from her laundry than she was today. Laundries are being 'operated on a scientific basis as never before. The public demand for careful work was being met by scientific investigations on the best meth- od of washing. COW'S GOOD RECORD The six-year-old Holstein cow, Echo Segis Gerben, bred by Douglas Turney, Morganston, Ont., and now owned by R. Ray McLaughlin, Oshawa, recently qualified under R.O.P. regula- tions with a production in the 365-day division, totalling 16,156 1bs. milk, containing 728.75 lbs. butter, giving her an average test of 3.61 per cent. fat. WORK OF ATHLETIC COMMISSION 1S TOLD BY SPEAKER (Continued from page 1) initially formed for the purpose oi protecting anlateur boxers and social clubs from unscrupulous "Pro," boxing promoters. The Ontario Athletic Commission was given jurisdiction over all "Pro" Poxing and obtains the money to carry on its work, from sport. Being a Government commission, the Commission receives 2 per cent of all "Pro." sport, gate re- ceipts. On obtaining 2 surplus, the commission Jooked around for some means of putting the money to use and decided to put the mo- ney back into sport, from whence it was derived, In order to do the most good, they decided to assist amateur sport and as their assistance would have to be limi- ted, they decided to confine their efforts to. the interests of the most simon-pure of amateurs, school boy sports, i. e. High Schools, Public Schools and Col- legiates. As this field was still too large. the Commission deci- ded to concentrate on the track and field section. The province was divided into nine districts. The schools in the districts compete, the win- ners getting silver medals and the second placers, bronze med- als. In order to avoid humili- ation when the Provincial Cham- rjonship meet of the winners is held, the winners in the district rust not only win but must also obtain a fair standard, before they are allowed to compete in the Provincial meet. Those ath- lotes who win and obtain the standard, have all expenses pa'd, in order to help them compete in the Championship meet. Only One Entry Fee There is only entry fee de- manded by the Commission, namely that all athletes compe- ting must present a certificate. signed by the principal of their school, stating that they have obtained 50 per cent in all stud- jes. This is to protect the aca- demic standings of the athletes. Already, excellent results have heen shown and the outlook for a brilliant future for Canada's track and fleld athletes, is ex- ceodingly bright. . Tn the last set of Olympic games, several of Canada's representatives were boys from Ontario schools who had been discovered through the work of the Ontario Athletic Cemmission, There were even more Ontario boys in the more recent British Empire games and they made en excellent showing. Mr. Murray named several of the athletes who have been dis- covered through the work of the Commission and told of their creditable achievements. Some of the boys mentioned were, Stoddart, pole vault champion, "Art. Ravensdale of Cobourg and Doug. Maundrell of Oshawa. The athletes of Hamilton Cen- tral Collegiate were also men- ticned. : Sportmanship The most important result in the work of the Commission is tlie fine type of character pro- duced. The chief thing in com- petition is not the winning of a medal or cup, but the exception- ally high standard of sporteman- ship which is developed, such as was shown in.the last Dominion Championship meet, when Stod- dart, Ravensdale and Maundrell ul! won Dominion titles.

C.M.A. HEAD RAPS BLUE RUIN TALK Many Merchants Merely Lack Confidence, Says W. H. Miner Not only did W. H. Miner, Montreal industrial leader, be- come president of the Canadian Manufacturers' . Association at their annual convention from which he returned recently, but to crown his successes, he made a hole in one in his golf play. The convention was held in Victoria, B.C., and the available records show that Mr. Mir the first Eastern Canada member of the association to become president. There are no official records to show whether he is the first president to make a hole in one, but there is reason to be- lieve that he has little competi- tion in that direction. To add to the value of the golfing achieve- ment, Mr. Miner accomplished it at a bling hole and at 150 yards --something for any golfer to be proud of, and probably almost as hard to most people as becoming head of a great Dominion-wide association. It was accomplished on Shaughnessy Heights golf course at Victoria. Discugsion led to business af- fairs and to the recent Bennett budget which was announced dur- ing Mr. Miner's absence. Though he has had little time to study the budget closely, the new C.M. A. president indicated that *per- sonally I am a high tariff ad- vocate." Favors Moderate Form "I believe in a good moder- ate form of protection," he said, "but not in great stone walls. A too high wall allows the manu- facturer, the jobber and the mer- chant to take too much out of the people. On the matter of sales tax I think that if the Govern- ment had raised this issue to five per cent. and left the letter and cheque stamps alone it would have been better for the country. Certainly less disturbing." Mr, Miner waved aside the usual predictions about business conditions. - "No one wants to make any predictions this year," he said smiling, "everyone that has been made so far seems to be a shot in the dark. It appears that the biggest trouble with many of our merchants is lack of confidence. "Joo many of us in business seem to think that everything is side of the wealthy home middle classed and poor people could not begin to afford this sum, which with a day and night nurse run to $12 a day.

There were two graduates, to whom diplomas were presented in the Opera House during the evening, before a very large crowd of citizens. The program opened with a march played by Miss Helen Ar- gue and was followed by prayer by Dr. D. W, Best. W, R. Strike, on behalf of the president, Mr. F. F. Morris then gave the presi- dent's address and took charge of the program that followed. The Bragg Quartet composed of W. S. Bragg, Otto Bragg, Sam Glanville and F, O. Mcllveen then rendered a vey fine selection which was encored. The speaker who was introduced by Mr. Strike was R. H. Cameron, past presi- dent of the Hospital Association. Mr. Cameron gave a stirring message to the two graduates, Miss Dorothy E. Lockhart and Miss Lillian Holman. He com- pared the nursing profession to the medical profession and the ministry, These three professions he said, were perhaps the only three professions to which people were really called, He advised against any person taking up the nursing profession if they do not feel the call to that duty. These three professions he stated, stood out pre-eminently as the professions of, seryice, It was for ice irrespective of the monetary reward that might or might not follow. Money of course was considered but only in a secondary place. The reason that some doctors make a huge amount of money is because they have been true to their ideals of service and success has come with this. The minister, the speaker add- ed is called and goes out to serve his Master, and to uplift and help humanity. The doctor was one of the most self denying per- sons on earth, Rain, thunder, snow, heat, cold, daylight or dark he was always ready to serve, was always ready to bring about, wherever possible better living conditions, The doctor was also serving in research work, re- search on the body, in medicine and in surgery. This was a pro- fession of service of the truest kind, he added. What could be said of the doctor and ministers could also be said of the nurses, Mr. Cameron continued. If a nurse is true to her call she does not consider the money but just wants to qualify to be of real help in times of distress and sickness. The nurse had a tre- mendous field for good and most of this field lay in the care. of poor people, Blames Association Speaking of why so many 1 nurses are out of work today Mr, Cameron laid the blame on the Nurses' Association which made rules providing that a day's pay for a nurse must be $6. This was the greatest mis- take ever made, he averred, Out- the the trained The Oshawa Rotary Club adopted an unusual method of advertising their fair in Bowmanville last night. When the ball game was in full swing Norman Irwin in his big red plane came swooping down drop- ping balloons and pamphlets an- nouncing all about the fair which starts at Rotary Park this evening. Softball on Friday There are no more softball games in the league until Friday when the Front Street meet the Public School. Should the Front Street win they will be tied with Goodyear High © School and Whiz for first place. What a mix up There are going to be some good prizes ofe fered on Friday night.

Wilson is acting on the Way and Means Committee. the nurses' call to duty and the greed for big wages that has caused the unemployment in this profession today, He urged that the graduates would think of their call first and money as only a secondary matter. In conclusion he gave much valuable advice to the two graduates. At the conclusion of the ad- dress, Dr. V. H. Storey, made the presentation of the diplomas, Mrs. A. L, Nicholls of the pins, Dr. R. W. Clark of the medical men's prizes, Mrs, D. W. Best of the Instrument cases, and Mrs. F. W, Goddard of the prizes from the Women's Hospital Aux- illary, Misses Kitty Storey and Miss Ruth James presented the graduates with bouquets of roses and other flowers after the pres- entations. After the singing of "God Save the King', the nurses and their guests adjourned to the Nurses' residence where a reception was held. BUSINESS MEN OVERWHELMED BY HIGH SCHOOL Students Defeat Bowman. ville Main Streeters, 24-2 in One-sided Game In another of these surprise games the High School thorough- ly trounced the Business Men by the one sided and decisive score of 24 to 2 in last night's sched- uled softball games. It was just too bad for the Business Men for they never had a chance from start to finish and by the style of ball they were playing we doubt whether they would have taken any chances had they pre- sented themselves. In the first place Alan Os- borne was experiencing one of his periodical off nights and his pitching was the work of an amateur. Then to make things worse his team did not back him up at all. Of course they blamed most of it on to the fact that the sun was shining in their eyes but it was the same for both sides. Richards commonly called by his scholastic friends 'Ace' was on his meta] last night. Not only did he make the opposition strike out at his balls but he made them hit them in the air making easy marks for the field- ers, Proof of this is seen by the fact that for four solid innings the Business Men never got a man on a base although only one was struck out. The scholars went into bat first and piled up four to start. The Business Men returned the barrage with an anaemic one and then they went the whole length of the game hefore they scored their only other counter in the final frame. On the other hand the students continued to score fairly steadily right along only missing two innings. They put in half ~their runs in the 7th and 8th when they gathered in a 5 and a 7 making a round dozen. For the High School, those hardworked lads who are so busy working on their summer exams came forth five homers from the bats of Colmer, Ted Bagnell, Slemon, and Richards 2. The line ups were: High School Business Men : All in Their Place Every delegate was in his place at the opening of business on the oor of the convention this morning, the attendance being just a few ov- er the hundred mark.

BILINGUALISM IS CROPPING UPIN AFRICAN TESTS Wo ------ 0 Kroonstad, South Africa, June 17.--Bilingualism in nurses' ex- aminations in South and the Northern Free State Hospitals Board at Kroonstad recently de- cided that whether a student nurse wrote in Afrikaans or Eng- lish there should be no handicap by faulty translations. The follow- ing resolution was passed and a sory ol it sent to the Minister of 6 Interior and of Edu Hon. Dr. D. F, Malan: eatioty "This board considers the ex- aminations of nurses should be conducted in such a manner that Afrikaans and English-speaking candidates have the same facili. ties. That for oral tests Afrikaans speaking candidates be examined by an examiner who fis property qualified in Afrikaans, and the English candidates by one who is properly qualified in English, "That for all written test pa- pers there be appointed an éx- aminer properly qualified in Afri. kaans and at least one who is qualified in English, so that nei. ther Afrikaans nor English-speak. ing candidates may be in any way handicapped by ths f2:'ty trans- lations of examination questions." going downhill and we have to cut prices to make a sale, That is absurd. If every business man would stand firm there would soon be a change for the better. And there is too much talk of blue ruin so that the small buy- er in frightened to spend his money. The banks are filled with deposits, that are larger today than they were years ago," he claimed. Mr. Miner said that he found this year's convention 'one of the hest attended and certainly one of the most interesting in years." Japanese Railway 'In the Red" for 1930 Tokyo, Japan.--~There was a de- ficit of $18,000,000 in the 1930-31 re- venue 'of the imperial government railways of Japan and the income of the state owned roads has de- clined in almost every department. With practically no exception, every class of freight has experienc- ed a decrease in traffic. The com- letion of reconstruction work in Rokyo and Yokohama, as well as general inactivity in industry, are responsible for the decline. <The transportation of coal has gradually dropped. There was a decrease of ten percent last year due largely to the marketing restrictions by col- lierfes. Timber returns reveal a de- cline of about twenty percent. Iron, steel, lime stone and other staples also present discouraging aspect. The railway authorities state it is impossible to expect a check on the present downward course of revenue until trade picks up generally, F. A.
