As this clear and lucid speaker put it he "only. skimmed" over his subject, advising his audience to "just read the headlines." .

A stir in the crowd announced something of a momentous nature and everyone felt relieved when a constable, President Frank Johnston of the Rotary Club, Rotarian Gor- don Conant, another jolly Rotarian carrying little Miss Bye on his broad shoulder, and two or three sea cadets, were seen approaching the platform. In spite of the crush the crowd made way for them and then waited in tense expectancy for the events which were to take place, Bugle Announces Draw The clear, strong notes of a bugle blown by Sea Cadet Bill Pern an- nounced the opening of the draw, Speaking through a megaphone, Rotarian Conant informed the crowd that the stubs would be thoroughly churned before any would be drawn, "On behalf of our presjdent--he has yelled himself hoarse at one of the booths and can not speak for himself--I wish to convey to you his sincere appreciation for the way in which the good people of Oshawa and drew forth the lucky ticket number, The number and the name of the winner, which was discovered written on the back of the stub, were announced by Rotarian Conant while for the benefit of those rar- ther back from the platform,Doug. Conant held up a sign with the number written in big figures, Similarly little Martha made the next two draws and the reserve draw, Miss Willes, winner of the radio, was present in the audience and was invited to the platform where she gracefully accepted this handsome prize, Visions Fade At the conclusion of the draw the crowd melted away as quickly as the bright visions which some had before the stub no. 13065 was pulled out of the churn, Those visions all. had to do ith a certain beautiful little roadster which will soon be testing its speed on Port Hope's steep hills, The fair's over anyway, tickets only cost a quarter your twenty-five 'cents twenty-five, cents, with several thousand other twenty-five cent pieces, added together make a fine total.

I think rather of a capital impost if necessary and pay as we go along. I am not con- vinced that the possibility of rais- 'ing money from those who have béen more fortunate has yet been exhausted." Dealing with "the general situa- tion" he admitted the problem to | be a world-wide one, stating "there are twenty million workers unem- ; ployed in the industrial nations of | the world" He stated that the + cause was undoubtedly "a combina- { tion of many problems" and that ¢ the whole must be dealt with inter- nationally as well as locally. He called attention to the fact that the Labour Congress sitting in Geneva, in which Canada was rep- Yesented, is discussing this prob- "lem, stating that there was no doubt that the result of war, and the pay- , ment of reparations, had influenced i the situation in many countries. Therefore it behoves Labour to as- sist in removing the possibility of future wars, we must therefore sup- port the League of Nations to the fullest possible extent. "Then there is local, and even in- dividual action" said Mr. Moore "In developing science and industry and wealth perhaps we have forgot- ten the problem of distribution. Any step that is towards the better dis- tribution of wealth is a step to- wards the elimination of unemploy- , ment." Dealing with steps that have heen taken recently for the elimination of unemployment he referred to the Workmen's Compensation. Act, the Mothers Allowance Act; and the old Age Pensions Act, all of which, he said, "have done something to- wards modifying this problem". "But the problem of unemploy- ment stares us in the face notwith- standing.

"If the Dominion Government did 'mothing else they should look after such men as this either through the use of militia stores, depots and lies", said' Mr. Moore, who also led attention to the matter of nemployment Insurance. "Then we have. the question of unemploy- 'ment insurance.

Another suggestion which is thrown out is that couples going off for week-end trips to their summer cottages, ' or on short camping trips, might take one or two of these children from the shelter with them for a brief holiday. These children know lit- tle of the pleasures of holidays, and Mr. Alger believes that many citizens would be willing to take care of one or two of them for a few days, or might be willing to bear the expense of sending them to a farm home for a week or two, so that they may have a brief vacation away from their present. surroundings. Some citi- zens have already performed this kind of service to the children, but more are needed to make ft possible for all the children to have brief holidays. The playground of the Shelter has now been put in splendid shape by the members of the Kinsmen's Club, whose efforts are much appreciated, and it is hoped in the near future to equip it with swings and other play- ground equipment.

He was introduced to the convention by the General Sec- retary, Dave Lamb, of Toronto, and invited to say "Hello" to the con- vention, "I have followed the activities of your organization with consjderable interest," said this well known Canadian labor leader," and I know of the unity which you have brought about and hope that this may lead to a greater aggression, using this word in its mildest sense, in making for better conditions. of - work amongst your membership.

The formal presentation of a rift from the Oshawa branch of the Firefighters Federation was made by Fire Chief W, R.
