Arrangements were completed for the formal opening of the Club at an invitation dance to ba held in the club rooms on Friday, October 23rd, when Snell's Or- chestra will again provide the niu- sic. The courts will open for play on the following day. During re- cent weeks the floors have all been resanded and the hall has been newly decorated and extra light- ing fixtures have been added. Over $200 has been spent on these im- provements, The directors are al- so planning to install shower baths for the players and in addi- tion to partition off the gallery to make a club room for members and their friends. This, will be done by putting a partition up the front with large windows in the middle so that during a dance the orchestra will be able to use the room, It will be tastefully decor- ated and every convenlence for the members will he added.

The topic has been one of the big things. in town for the past few weeks and many who have been opposing the purchase have now been persuad- ed that it is the only thing for the good of the town.

Friday -- Bec 2 Winnipeg, Oct. 15,--With party leaders keeping their counsel but quietly getting their organizations into fighting trim, Manitoba will learn definitely Friday whether there is to be a provincial general election now or next year. Al- though most responsible parties now regard an early polling a cer- tainty there is still doubt in some quarters, For Friday Premier John Brac- ken has called Progressive mem- bers of the Legiglature to Winni- peg for an all-day caucus, Friday night they are to attend a dinner to which prominent business and professional men of Winnipeg and the general public are invit- ed. There Premier Bracken is to make a speech, So the stage is all set for an im- portant announcement from the head of the Government and the general feeling is it will be an an. nouncement of the election, Prob- able dates of polling mentioned are Nov, 20 or 23, EDISON NEARS END West Orange, Oct, 15,-- Thomas A.

The by-law distinctly states that the debenture and in- terest charges are to be paid out of the earnings of the system and that only in the event of the sys- tem having a surplus in any one year would it be assessed against the taxpayers. When the plant has over a period of many years steadily made profit in excess of $20,000 per year there is no rea- son why it will not continue to do s0, If the 668 plants in the sys- tem have continued to make prof- its and not one has been called on to draw on the town treasury it certainly would be an unusual, if not impossible, that Bowman- ville, the 669th town, to own its system would have to draw on iis ratepayers, Opponents of the purchase are using this to induce others not to purchase and any ratepayer who just acquaints him- self with the true facts will plain- ly see that the system will pay for itself and that the town has everything to profit, Pointer, a dog gave "chase to five men who broke into a gar- age at Clapton, England, and krought one of them to the ground.

Machinery and organiza- tion have been rationalized to a startling degree. To quote a few examples: The Thyssen Works in Hamborn, which produced 75,000 tons of steel with 10,000 workers some years 8go, can now place 170,000 tons with 9900 wor The Horder Foundries, which pro- duced 40,000 tons of steel with 9600 workers, can now produce 90,000 tons with 5700 workers. The German cement industry pro. duced in 1929 the same amount as in 1913, with 60 per cent of the workers and with shorter hours, Even more striking exam- ples of rationalization can be seen in the lighter industries, Thus a bookbinding firm which employed 90 women installed a machine which, run by two persons, can do the work of the 50 women, One could quote hundreds of such ex- amples, The same applies to or- ganization, Monopoly Cartels The "monopoly" cartels, espec- fally in the heavy industries, have tended to buy up all their smaller competitors; to close these small. er works down, and to make up for this loss in production by in- tensifying their own production by | the latest methods, As a result | the workers in the smaller con- cerns are left without work. Amalgamations also tend to in- crease the number of unemployed, Thus when the Disconto and Deutsche Banks joined they dis- missed thousands of bank clerks. What surprises the German con- sumer is that none of the amalga- mations and improvements seems to have made the goods or serv- feces of these reformed concerns substantially cheaper, Further, far from increasing wages, the manufacturers have tended to cut wages in the past two years. It may be safely said that heal wages have gone down by 25 per cent, since 1929 and by about 10 per cent, since last year, GOLD AREA LIKELY Fields in Rhodesia Promising Salisbury, Southern Rhodesia, A promise 'of a considerable exten- sion of the gold mining industry 1 southern Rhodesia through the dec- velopment of gold-fields in the dolo- mite formation in the Lomagundi area, some 9% miles north-west of Salisbury, is revealed by W. L. Wil. liams, a Rand mining engineer, who has been exploring the possibilities of the Lomagundi region for the past few months, Mr. Williams' attention was drawn to the Lomagundi area by the close geological similarity be- tween the dolomite formation there and that at Pilgrims' Rest and Sabi in, the North-Eastern Transvaal "The extensive ancient workings in the Lomagundi area indicate that there has been considerable activity in the past, and if the series respond to thorough and intelligent exploit- ation as those of the Union haye done, there is a reasonable prospect of further activity in the future," Mr, Williams told the Salisbury correspondent of The Cape Argus, Cape Town. wv. May Prove Important 'In Rhodesia everybody's atten- tion has been - directed to banket reefs to the practical exclusion of the dolomite," he said, "Features similar to those of the dolomite reefs in the Transvaal have been disclosed in the past two years dur- ing work at the Lovel Mine, some 18 miles south-west of Sinola, "At this mine the ancients had worked down to about 30 feet level on presumably low values, but fur- ther sinking to the 147 feet level showed improving values through- out. At that depth boulders were encountered, and nuggets up to three' ounces in weight were found.

We are gll reading in the newspapers of what is being done to relieve the distress caused by it, But we should ask ourselves even more than that. What is the remedy for it? Is it beyond human power to alter it, or not? If it is not, and I believe I have a solution which will pro- vide the remedy, why not let the influential men of this city get together, such as the Rotary Club, Kiwanis Club and others, and give me an opportunity of presenting to them my proposed remedy, Surely it will not be said of such gentlemen that they have NE to the conclusion that the case is hopeless, because we know that this is not true. I think they might show a little more of the spirit of the man from Missouri, --'"Show me." Now, sir, this is my challenge. This depression can be beaten, and I am willing to show these gentlemen how it can be done. I may fail to con- vince them, but it can at least lo said that I tried. Yours sincerely, 8. BRANSTON.
