A "Smooth" S Lindsay. -- Several residents of Lindsay are desirous of getting in touch with a smooth young. indiv- idual, who visited the town this spring and disposed of se the proceeds of sale going to the Chris- tie Strees Hospital, so he told his unsuspecting customers. The seeds he pointed out, were those of a very beautiful flower which grew in Sunny France. The young man did quite a business while here, and his victims waited with great ex- pectancy for the beautiful bloom. Imagine their surprise when they fouss a prolific growth of turnips in. their flower beds. The stranger later journeyed to Oriilia where he di d of a iderable quantity along the waterfront on Tuesd "evening were treated to an unusual sight as a three-masted sailing ves- sel, carrying a number of young men, tacked to and fro across the river on a westward journey.

Beer Was Dumped Picton.--1,332 bottles of beer were opened by Provincial + Con- stables Bill Carey and Alex: Kidd and the contents dumped.

Forecasts Work Kenora, -- Construction work on the 55-mile stretch of the trans- Canada highwa from Kenora east to. Vermilli y this fall was forecast by Premier e S. Hen- ry of Ontario in an address here. The number of unemployed, he in- timated, would make it ible to complete the highway rapidly. Transient Injured Belleville. --Attempting to board a Treight as it was leaving the CN.R. yards early on Tuesday, a transient 15 known as "Pat" to travelling companions, missed his footing, was thrown under the wheels, sustain- ing severe chest bruises and lacera- tions and internal injuries. He was rushed to the hospital, but his con- dition is critical, the physician at- tending. holding little wi for his recovery. Tom Hamilton, a com- panion, stated that he boarded the freight before "Pat," and did not see him catch on, but believed that he missed the grab-iron and was thrown under the train, Storm Destroyed Bara Elgin--This vicinity was visited by a very severe electrical storm last week. The rain fell in torrents and was accompanied by hail and wind, which lasted for about an hour, and did considerable damage. During the storm a barn owned by Charles Sherwood, south-east of the village, 'was struck by lightning and burned to the ground, with all its contents which included hay, young cattle, hens, and some agricultural implements. The loss is partly govered by insurance, New Riding Master Kingston. -- Lieut. R. Richmond, riding master at the Royal Military College, will leave this week to re- join his regiment, "A" Squadron of the Lord Strathcona Horse at Win- nipeg, after his four year appoint- ment at RM.C. Lieut. Richmond's place will be taken by Capt. W. E. Gillespie of the Royal Canadian | Dragoons, which have been station- | ed at St. John's P.Q. Capt. Gilles- | pie has recently returned from the | Military School Equitation at Weedon, England. He will resume his duties as riding master at the College on August 1 of | Took Final Vows » Pembroke.--Some 24 members of the community of the Grey Sisters of the Immaculate Conception took ! their final vows at the mother | house of the community here this | morning... The ceremony, a most | impressive one, was the first in the | history of the community, all those | making final profession having en- | tered when it was first established in 1926, | | Holding Big Tourney | Ottawa. -- The Eastern Ontario Lawn Bowling Association is hold- | | | | ent engaged under farm time threatened to load the coun- try with a form of dole. The Un- made pr Bosrd had, indeed, Pp ration for paymen sustenance as authorized by the Unemployment Act, but the Prime Minister Rt. Hon. G. W. Forbes on: his return from Great Britain, where he had seen the offects of the dole, declared em- phetically against its adoption here. No payment, he said, would be made in New Zealand gs long as he was Prime Minister except to those who worked when there was any work to give them. This declaration, to which the Government have adhered, has evoked Labor accusations of breach of 'faith. ' The unemplayment levy was accepted the Labor spokesmen declare, on the understanding that sustenance would be paid if work could not be found. This fa not correct according to Gov. ernment officials. The unemploy- ment Act established a Board re- presenting workers, farmers, em- ployers, returned soldiers, and ibe Government, with the Mini- ster of Labor as chairman. The prireipal duty of the Board is to initiate measures which will re- Lieve unemployment, and' ulti- mately cure it. More particu.ar. ly it is aythorized to encourage primary and secondary industries and deveelopment plans which will absorb labor.' It {8 empow- ered to pay sustenance If work capnot be provided, but this pro vision {s.not mandatory, and it was made clear during the Par linmentary debates that it would be put into operation only as a last resort. Subsidize Farms The Unemployment Board has been reasonably successful in af fording relief without sustenance. | I's principal methods have been (1) To subsidize labor for farn.» at the rate of 25 shillings a week for married men and 15 shillings ! for single (the farmer providing fcod and accommodation); to subsidize farm development cor tracts (bush-falling, cutting, drainage, and works) by paying one-third the labor cost up to 375 for each contract; (3) to pay the labor costs of works specially un dertaken by local authorities tu relieve unemployment, About 2,500 men are at pres- labor schemes and other land settle- ment plans. This labor, by in- creasing production, has a cumu lative effect in absorbing workless. In co-operation the Department of Lands, Board has now undertaken a ne% scheme to bring abandon ed farms into production. 2re some 400 of these nl with the a farms which have depreciated through | tne spread of noxious weeds or | scrub, through pasture deterior- | ation, or through the farmer oc- cupier's lack of capital. Unem- | ployed labor will be used to make ing its 24th annual tournament at | Ottawa on August 3, 4, and 5, and the competitions to be held are as ollows: The Dominion Rink 1ro- | phy, with a consolation tournament the Eastern Rink Trophy-- for | games to start at 1000 am. sharp | the morning of August 3, 3ig Steamship Kingston.-- Lhe length of the Canada Steam- hip Lines grain boat which docked at the C.S.L. elevator at Cataraqui Bay on Tuesday morning, is the same length as the first hole at the Cataraqui Golf and Country Llub. From the driving tee to the green the first hole at the golf club is 185 yards, or 550 feet long. When this information was given the newspaper it was for purposes of comparison. Local golfers and those who are familiar with the walk from the implement house to the "pro" house at the club will be able to jorm some idea of the length of the oat. Faces Serious Charge Cornwall. -- George Esper, local shoe repairman, who was arrested Friday on a charge of threatening to murder his wife and children, was today released on his own recognizance and will appear for trial on August 10. Solicitors, court officials and police tried unsuccess- fully today to effect a reconciliation between Esper and his wife. Council Thsvp Smiths Falls--With one of the largest crowds to yet attend a coun- cil meeting present, the special ses- sion held here on Monday 'to deal with the critical unemployment situ- ation was enlivened a flare-up which brought a threat of resigna- tion from Caumcillor D. O. Allport, chairman of the 'parks committee, following criticism of park employ- es and d tion that they were not putting in the required time at their duties. Heating: Plant Installed ton. -- The furnace for the central heating plant of the Court House was placed in ition on Tuesday. The installation of steel in' the two rooms e the heat- ing plant, which has been held up for t 3 week until the furnace was iit' of the, Way, will be com- menced now, e concrete floors will arobably be poured during the week. : NEW ZEALAND AVOIDS THE DOLE Make Payments Only as a Last Resort welingtons Nok Sirpbuous eftorts are being made by the Gcvernment of New Zealand to avoid the introduction of any system of unemployment "dole" ia of the number of regis- worklesc. ha! jumped in six months from 8,000 to nearly 0,000.

For the greater number of workless, relief is pro- vided through the municipal em- ployment plan. Local governing | bodies provide the plant and su- pervision for works in their own areas and the Board supplies and pays the la- tor. The work is "rationed." | Single men are given two days' work each week for three weeks cut of four at nine shillings a day, and married men three or tour days' according to the num- | ber of dependent children (also for three weeks out of four) at | 12 shillings six pence a day. There are many protests that this is mot a living wage, but it is the most that the Board can provide with the resources at its com- wand, For some workers it is necessarily supplemented by re- lfef from the hospital boards which in New Zealand perform | the duties of the old boards of | guardians in England, As it is, | the Unemployed Board's resour- ces have heen severely strained. CANADIAN MILEAGE IN BIL- LIONS Over nine billion miles were travelled in 1930 by Canadian motorists and visiting motor tou- rists from the United States on the highways of Cangtda, or a wileage that would girdle the earth 360,000 times. To travel this tremendous mileage approxi- mately half a billion gallons otf gasoline were used, and the gov- ernments of the different prov- inces in Canada received $43,- 000,000 in revenue in the form of gasoline tax. "These figures" states an of- ficial report, "indicate to what extent the automobile industry und the petroleum refineries have become important factors in the economical life of Canada." In addition to the quantity of gaso- line used by sutomobiles and other motor vehicles in Canada tn 1930, over 131,000,000 gallons were used for other purposes. According to the latest complla- tion Canadian refineries produced 73 per cent of the total quantity of gasoline used in the Dumin- fon. 'These refineries capitalized at $1,373,132, used over a billion gallons' imported. crude oil, mainly 'from the United States and from the Republics of Col- ombia and Peru, and over 37, 000,000 'gallons of Canadian erude ofl. Automobile registry {np Canada last year numbered 1,- 494 were passenger cars, so that there was one vehicle to every eight 'persons in the Dominion. OLDS MOTOR KEEPS COOL One small cupful of water was all that an Oldsmobile Six eon- sumed recently while romping in rapid succession over four of the stiffest mountain grades . in Southern California--Mount Wil. stn, Camp Baldy, Big Pines County Park and Lake Arrow. head, More than three miles of elevation---17,623 'feet to be ex- sut--were 'conquered in this mountain climbing marathon. At Lake Arrowhead. the radia- tor eap was removed to determine (2) 4 sera, | su h the | There | how- | Unemployment |, the amount of water consumed during. the runs and climbs uf the four grades. One small cup of water--six ounces--was all that was required to fill the rad- fator. The day was hot, the temperature at times registering as high as 80 in the shade. Observers on the run stated that at no time was the engine temperature above 200 dagcees and during most of the trip it varied between 180 and 190 de- grees. As was shown by the small water consumption, the wa- ter did not reach the boiling point at any time. One of the features of the Nid. smobile cooling system which made this remarkable hill climb record possible is the water mani fold, according to Oldsmobile en- gineers. This manifold is equip- ped with ports opening between cylinders and part of the water passes #irough these ports on its travel to the end of manifold. In this way all cylinders receive ccld water and are kept at an even, efficient temperature, THE SERVION TENT The car that will turn in 80, 000 miles in two years without mechantonl grief of any kind, and at the same time supply comfort to the driver on a var. toty of dificult ronds would seem to be near the ideal for the com- mercial man, These, at least, aro the admitted facts which in fluenced Mr, James Rutledge of Cwen Sound when he bought himself a mew 1031 Chevrolet Coupe not long since, Mr. Rut. ledge represents the Eureks Re- frigerator Company in the terri- tory between Owen Sound and Windsor.
