Bennett, as minister of finance, made no provision for dredging. at Whitby harbor, al- though frequent requests have been made to the minister by the Town Council and Chamber of Commerce. There is still a ray of hope, however, as there is an item of $70,000 for further dredging in Ontario, the places where the money will be spent not being named. It is just possible that when this amount was provided. It is known at. Ottawa that the harbor here today, owing to ©x- ceptionally low water, is in a very dangerous condition, aud unsafe for shipping. Some time ago the engineer of the Dspart- ment made an inspection of the harbor, and it was understood when he left that he would make a favorable report to Ottawa. This report gives rise to the hos: that sométhing will yet be done before the lake freezes over, or perhaps early next spring, The Council will very likely take the matter up further with the minister had Whitby in mind Ottawa.

Both are i.,® need of funds and with a good programme such as has been arranged they are look- ing for a large patronage from Whitby and the countryside, THE OSHAWA DAICY TIMES, THURSDAY, JULY 30, NEW SOLICITOR DUNCAN B. McINTYRE Well known local barrister, and son of the late Judge Mcintyre and Mrs. Mcintyre, who has been aPpointed Town of Whit- by solicitor to succeed the late A. E. Christian, discussed "The Programme of My Church." He declared that the programme must be most ef- fective, must grow up out of the ground. It must deal with worth while issues, and these must be adapted to the age and interest of the group--taking advantage of opportunities, touching not merely local but world wide con- ditions. One main object should be to create a deep concern for the matters studied. In the third morning period, Professor J. B. Reynolds led a discussion on 'Rural Depopula- tion." He recalled the fact that up until 1921 it was not as ser- ious as it was at first thought. He gave some interesting .facts to support this statement, It was also brought out in this discus- sion that the largest extent the key to the rural situation lay with the church and the school. In closing Professor Reynolds suggested as a subject for next year the re-organization of the rural -church and the rural school. In the afternoon the time was largely given over to rest and recreation. Some of the dele- gates visited places in and around Whitby. IT WAS WORTHWHILE "This would be a grand week- end in the country," thought Agnes "wonder if Jane has an extra room at her house?" It occurred to Ag- nes that there was an easy waysto find out--by Long Distance. She called her friend in the mountains and Jane said to come by all means. What a happy idea that telephone call was! ---------------------- PEACE TIME USE FOR SUB GHASER Life Saving Apparatus for 'Whitby Harbor Town Clerk and Treasurer John R. Frost has received word from the chief engineer of the Department of Public Works at Ottawa, advising that in compliance with the town's request, life saving equipment will be provided at the harbor at Port Whit- by. The nature of the equip- iment to be provided is mot "stated, but it is hoped that it will include both ladders ; od life buoys with hooks. Council at its meeting three weeks ago was inform- ; by Chief Quantrill that to the low water at the this year very grave itions existed due to the of adequate life saving Pq U for bathers using the .

A cruising camp with a navy program it is called and the voyage of The American Boy which began in New York on July 2 will finish there on Au- gust 27 after covering more than 2,000 miles, During that time thé 43 boys aboard will have visited a large part of the United States and Canada, learnt some- thing of seamanship and signal- ling and improved their baseball and swimming. From New York they went to Detroit, along the Buffalo canal, then down through the lakes to Cornwall and on to Montreal, Cost $80,000 Originally the American Boy 'cost $80,000 and when he was buzzing round German submar- ines in the North Sea she was capable of a speed of 18 knots. These high speed engines were taken out on the score of operat- ing expenses and the boys who form her crew,--their ages range from 8 to 16,--are quite content with her present speed of ap- proximately 12 knots. The director of the cruise, Commander E. L. Paugh, who is a former naval officer stated in an interview that during the past 11 years the ship has seldom missed an annual visit to Mont- real, She has three sister vessels, the Junior Annapolis, Sea Cadet and Sea Ranger. He recalled that during the war the o%istence of 400 of these little vessels in the United States Navy caused some amusement but that the ease with which they followed and sur- rounded enemy submarines like a swarm of hornets justified their use. MADRID ASSEMBLY ELECTS PRESIDENT Socialist Deputy Named Head of Spanish Parliament Madrid, July 80.--The Consti- tutional Assembly, charged with selecting a new. ; laying the foundations of the Spanish Republic began its ses- sions this week, with the election of Julian Besteiro, a Socialist, as President of the Assembly. Besteiro was not opposed. A motion was then presented for the immediate election of a president to succeed Niceto Al- cala Zamora, head of the pro- visional regime which rose out of the ruing of the monarchy. © The most prominent candidates for the presidency, which will still he a provisional office, are Alcala Zamora and Manuel B. Cossio, Others mentioned for the post are Jose Manoel Pedregal, Felipe Sanchez Roman, Dr, Gre- gorio Maranon and Alejandro Lerroux, the present Foreign Minister, who also has been an outstanding candidate for the Premiership. The President to be elected will have power to designate and remove ministers, issue executive decrees when countersigned by responsible ministers and carry out the normal functions of the office. The present Government will go through the formality of pre- senting its resignation to the As- sembly and will be charged with carrying on its duties until the #>w President and Premier as- sume office. The actual work of writing a new Republican constitution probably will be sidetracked for some time, because of the pres- sure of other business and also because the draft already drawn up has not been approved by any group except Conservative Re- publicans, The Assembly has slowly form- ed into large political factions since the election, with the Left Wing or Radical elements domin- ating. The Socialist Labor Party, which has the greatest discipline of any group, has led in the pro- cess of cohesion and its organ- ization probably will oppose the efforts to place Lerroux in a powerful position in the new Government. This party contends that the day of dominant per- sonalities is past. Lerroux appar- ently has heeded the warning by joining his supporters in the "Re- publican Alliance," which is di- rected by a '"Natlsmal Council," NEW TEXTILE MILL Bennett Tariff Results in 'Launching of Another Industry Kingston, Ont., July 29.--At 11.30 o'clock Monday morning the textile mills of thers were formally opened here by Mayor Wright. A good deal of machinery and a few key work- ers arrived here six weeks ago, and since then Hugh Hield, man- aging director, and W. Grimshaw, manager, have been busy super- intending the erection of the ma- chinery, There are now 46 looms installed and perfect running order, A party of employes arrived by the C.P.8. Duchess of Bedford on Saturday and started working this morning immediately after the formal opening. Hugh Hield occupied the chair at the opening ceremony and addressed a gather- ing of representative citizens, in- cluding Mayor Wright, members of the City Council, the president of the Chamber of Commerce and many others. Mr. Hield told them that 20 additional looms would be brought out within a few weeks, making 66 looms in all, and before the end of the vear he hoped to bring the num- ber up to 100. The firm will start weaving yarn {imported from their English mill, but the plant can accommodate 250 looms and als, the necessary spinning equipment for those looms. They will start spinning as soon as that is practicable. At full capacity the mill will employ at least 250 workers, Mr. Hield said. Mayor Wright officially wel- comed the firm to Kingston and pushed the button which started the machinery. The establish- ment of the plant in Canada, it was stated, is entirely due to the protection afforded by the tariff. They formerly did a large trade with Canada, and when they found that the tariff gave them protection sufficient to make it practicable, they decided to open a plant here. . Highway Work Camps Are Planned in B.C. Victoria, : B.C., July ' 30. -- Instructions have been issued by the British Columbia Government for the preparation of 11 high- way work camps in widely separ- ated parts of the province. in a subsistence allowance to be paid men employed in preparing used in connection with the con- struction program of the Govern- ment. i Men employed on the prepara- tion of the camps will work. an eight-hour day, 5 1-2 days a week. Men with dependents will receive 35 cents an hour ,and men with. out dependents, 25 cents an hour. A charge of $1 per day will be made for board and lodging. The remuneration is' regarded as a subsistence allowance, and not a wage, Auto Had No Lights But Much Dynamite Montreal, July 30.--There are times when it pays to advertise. There are lkewise times when foo much prominence is unfortun. ate, as George Guilbault, 3958a St. Andre Street, found out to his cost. Constable Favreau of the trafic squad was walking down Sanguinet Street when his atten- tion was drawn to a car parked without lights. On investigating, 'he found that there was reason in this, since there were no bulbs in any of the lights. Furthermore, the license plates were attached to the travelworn vehicle in pre- carious fashion, with bits of string. The constable got his real thrill when he looked inside the car, which, by the way, was not locked, and found one dozen sticks of perfectly good dynamite, with a number of equally good percussion caps, Calling the own- er out of 1200 Sanguinet Street, before which the car was parked, Constable Favreau found that he had no driver's license.. This was piling Ossa upon Pelion, so the constable took the offender in to Station No. 1. In the police court, Judge Mar- childon fined Guilbeaut $10 .and costs on the several traffic charges and set bail at $500 on the charge of having explosives in an illegal place. OPIUM FORTUNE WAS DESTROYED Chinese Celebrated Anni- versary by Destruction of a Large Drug Cargo (By The Canadian Press) Nanking, China~--The Chinese government recently celebrated the 92nd anniversary of the con- fiscation 'and destruction of the historic cargo of opiu'a brought to Canton in 1839 hz British mer- chants, A huge honfire anniversary here. marked the More than 7, 000 ounces of opium and 8,000 smoking sets were publicly bur- ned by the Nanking District Court, with government officials and members of the National Oplum-suppression Commission looking on. Seizures of "bootlegged" opi- um in other parts of the country provided the fuel for similar cel- ebrations. At Tientsin more than $600,000 worth of drugs went up in flames. At Peiping, known as Peking when it was capital of China, 17,000 ounces of opium were destroyed, and at Taiyuan, 11,000 ounces. The meeting here was addres- red by Dr. J. Heng Liu, chairman of the Opium-Suppression Com- mission, who described Vi:erov Lin's bold seizure of opium at Canton in 1839, and the war with Creat Britain which followed. The country had suffered from the drug for nearly a century, he declared, and in spite of the gov- erument's efforts the trafic was ¢till flourishing, This he attribu- ted to civil war, "unequal trea ties," and the foreign concessions in China. The first prevented th enforcement of the law in remo dietricts, the second led to smu gling by foreigners who enjoy ex. tra-territorial rights, while the cencessions harbored. smugglers, he asserted. He urged the re- moval of these obstacles through the co-operation of the entire pecple. An anti-opium demonstration wag innaugurated here on the same day, to be continued for two weeks. Models, pictures and charts were shown to {illustrate the evils of opium smoking.
