Much needed improvements to the town's civic pile on Brock Street South may be ingluded in the programme of work for which a gover- ment grant will be sought. Every member of Council will before next meeting seek out work which might be undertaken. PROGRAMME OF RELIEF WORK TO BE CONSIDERED At the Town Council meeting to be held on Mon- day, September 21, plans for pe A works that might be undertaken this winter to provide work for jobless citi- zens, will be discussed so that they can be submitted to J. A. Ellis, secretary of the provincial relief com mittee at Queen's Park, for approval. . The town expects to re- SIMPLE (Chicago Daily News) The crookedness of the river is but a matter of course. "How do you get him to chew 'his _food?' "I give him Shredded Wheat and it's so crisp he has to chew it-- the more he chews it the better he likes it and the more nutriment he gets out of it. Many children bolt down their food without chewing -- that means imperfect diges- tion, poor teeth and un- healthy gums. Shredded Wheat with milk makes a perfect food for grow- ing children, and it's perfectly delicious with bananas or stewed fruit." THE CANADIAN SHREDDED WHEAT COMPANY, LTD. SHREDDED WHEAT WITH ALL THE BRAN OF THE WHOLE WHEAT PLUMBERS FROM OUTSIDE PLACES MAY PAY MORE Council Proposes To In- crease Fee For Local Protection When an application for a plumbers' license from W. R. Brown, an Oshawa man, was un- der consideration by the Town Council on Tuesday evening, Coun, Fred Rowe objected strongly to an outside man being allowed to come to Whitby and take work from local men for the small fee of five dollars. Coun. Rowe advocated that a much larger fee should be charged to outsiders. Reeve Jackson pointed out that Council before taking this step would have to be sure of its le- gal ground. It might be neces- sary, he stated, to amend the plumbers' bylaw, or to consult the statute setting forth Coun. cil's powers in the matter. Plumbing Inspector H. L. Pringle suggested that local plumbers doing business from stores should be charged a lower fee that those operating from a house or coming from outside places, Council seemed to favor Coun. Rowe's suggestion, but before any action is taken the opinion of the town solicitor will be sought as to Council's rights. The matter was referred to the com- mittee on applications to ronsult with the solicitor and report at the next meeting, Recommend Sewer Extension A sewer extension on Palace Street to serve a property re- cently purchased by Mrs. Swit- zer, of Oshawa, and known 2s the old greenhouses property, was recommended. to the Public Utility Commission. : Cannot Cut Trees Down On recommendation of the Streets Committee, permission was refused to John Yule to cut down some very fine shade trees on Euclid Street North which he claimed are shading his garden and preventing growth, The chairman of the committee, Coun. Davidson, recommended that the trees be trimmed. Condemns Gambling Council laid on the table without discussion a lengthy let- ter from the Rev. D. B. Langford, rector of St. John's Church, Port Whitby, strongly condemn- ing games of chance carried on at the Whitby Street Fair. Rev Mr. Langford expressed anxiety for the morals of the youth of the town, pointing out that in the opinion of prominent indiv- iduals and organizations in Can- ada the practice of introducing games of chance to raise money for charitable objects should not be tolerated on the ground that they taught gambling and corrupted youthful n.orals. Rev. Mr. Langford asked the Council to use its influence in preventing this practice in future in Whitby. John Bull muddles through be- cause so manv of his politicians are statesmen rather than selt-seekers. APPARATUS TO SAVE LIVES REFUSED TO HARBOR AT WHITBY Because there is only a small re- venue from the harbor at Port Whitby, the Council's application to have life saving equipment provid- a for the protection of the citizens has been refused by the Department of Marine at Ottawa. A leter to this effect was read by the clerk at the Council meeting on Tuesday evening, The applicaticin for the apparatus was made by the town to the Department of Public Works, and it was turned over to the Marine Department, district of- fice, Toronto. The Council will reply to the let- ter later on. The action of the gov- ernment in considering the protec- tion of people's lives in the light of dollars and cents met with criticism from the Council, Reeve Jackson stating that the Council should re- ply in strong terms expressing its disapproval of same. The reeve stated that the equipment asked for would only cost a few dollars, but because there was little revenue from the harbor protection of lives was to be denied. 4 It was the opinion of Council that it was the fault of the government that little or no revenue was receiv- ed from the harbor here, inasmuch as dredging and other improve- ments were necessary and had long been urged upon the government. It was pointéd out that the water is less than eight feet deep in the harbor, prohibiting shipping from using the port. If these improve- ments were undertaken, the harbor would be used much more than it is today. It was figured that the equipment asked for by the Council would not cost more than $15.00. WEDDINGS MOORE--WILSON A very pretty wedding was solemnized in Whitby Baptist Church, Thursday, Sept. 3rd, at 7 o'clock, when Jennie Edith, second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. 8S.

Misses Arlie and Dolaine Faulkner, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Faulkner, of Whitby, were the charming flower girls, who were gowned in pale pink net and carried a quaint basket of Autumn flowers. Each wore the groom's gift, pale pink beads. Messrs, Delmar But- ler and Ben Dalby acted as ushers. The pulpit was tastefully decorated with follages geran- fums and gladioli. The guest pews were marked off with white pink and mauve asters caught with satin ribbon, After the cere- mony the guests repaired to the home of the bride's parents where a reception was held on the lawn. At nine-thirty the guests sat down to a wedding supper in the dining room which was taste- fully decorated, the bride's cake which was made by her grand- mother, being the centre decora- tion.

The best wishes of their many Whitby with them. friends go CHECKERS ARE MOVING Local checker players enjoyed a very pleasant visit from Mr, Wm. Gibson, of Hamilton, during the week, An ex-champion of Canada and known as the grand old man of checkers, he played with all the best players here, winning 28 games, drawing 5 and losing cnly one. Mr. Gibson was entertained during his visit by Capt. and Mrs. Best at Killarney Green and was tendered a supper on Friday cvening by the local Checker Club and a group from Oshawa. The lucky winner of the local game Mr, Gibson lost, was Mr. George Whitelaw, who is recognized as the best "end player" in this vicinity and won his game by some pretty end play that Mr. Gibson highly praised. In his after supper speech the honored gr ice made this remark, "Checkers is a wonderful game, but bus > should never be neglected for it." MISCELLANEOUS SHOWER Immediate relatives and friends of Miss Edith Wilson met at the bride-elect's home, Tuesday, Sept. 1st, and held a miscellan- eous shower. The home was dec- orated with white streamers and large white bell filled with con- fetti. At a given moment a cousin of the bride tilted the bell and the bride was showered with con- fetti. After a few games the bride was blindfolded and led into the sitting room where a large pud- ding was opened by the bride elect. The young lady was the recipieit of many useful and valuable gifts.
