Armistice in 1918. Poppy Day was founded in Eng- land by the late Earl Haig, who saw in it a means of helping the disabled veterans who make the poppies in the Veteraft Shops, and of raising funds to take care of distressed veterans, In Canada, the poppies and 'wreaths offered to the public by the Legion are wholly manufactured in the Vet- craft Shops operated. for handi- capped veterans by the. Depart- ment of Pensions and National Health, from Empire products, and these veterans are able, by this means, to earn a livelihood. In addition, the proceeds of the Poppy Day Campaign will be used entirely by the Whitby Branch of the Legion for relief purposes lo- cally, and as the needs of this fund are expected to be great this winter, the officers of the Branch are hoping for loyal support from the citizens of the community in their effort to raise money for this laudable purpose, DEATH SUMMON § ROBERT HUNTER Retired Business Man and Traveller is Dead At Whitby At the home of his daughter, Mrs, J.

The Commission went a step fur- ther than this and instructed the engineer to specify that preference will be given to equipment manu- factured in Canada and the British Empire, Having in view these instrue- tions, Mr. Dallyn was authorized by tesolution of the Commission to ad- vertise for tenders for the plant in several technical publications and The Oshawa Daily Times, tenders to be in the office of fhe Oshawa Commission by noon on Thursday, November 12 To Use Relief Labour The matter of labour was dis cussed by the Commission, Mr. Dallyn stating that the terms of the contract, as he had drawn it up, stated that- "the use of unem- ployment relief labour is a condi- tion of the contraet, such labour be- ing obtained from the lists in the possession of the municipality, The contractor will know that he has to obtain his labour from these sources," said Mr. Dallyn, adding that there will probably be eight or ten, not more, "key men" from outside. Commissioner Mason stated, "I think you will find you have an Oshawa confractor, Its wonderful what our local fellows can do," Mr. Dallyn's reply being, "I hope so." The engineer went on to explain that the plans are drawn to "give the maximum amount of labour, We can start on three or four phases of the work at the same time, Of course the gangs will change a lot. You will have a big gang of car- penters, putting in forms, then you will have concrete mixers, and so on. So far as I can see there is no reason why the general contractor will not employ, on the average, at least sixty men. continuously, and this number at times will run up a great deal higher, Mr. Dallyn placed a rough esti- mate of the cost of labour alone at $32,000, To Meet Board of Works Commissioner Stacey announced that the Commission was expected to meet the city Board of Works this evening to discuss the methods of employing labour. He stated it as his own personal opinion that "a man should get so much a week, Say about $15. He should not get less than that amount and when he has earned that should step down and give another man a chance." Mayor Marks--" "When the Com- mission gets this filtration plant go- ing, and the city gets the sewage disposal plant under way, we think we will be in a positioh to work everybody right through, week about anyway, If we can absorb everybody and give continuous work we will all be only ton pleased." Mr. Dallyn, in giving his views of the labour question, made it clear that it was most unfair to any con- tractor to saddle him with the changing of gangs under any local relief plan. He explained that similar conditions had prevailed on a contract over which he had super- vision in Sudbury, the method be- ing adopted of having a local man, who happened to be the municipal relief officer, appointed as inspector to supply the contractor with labor. "This worked out very well," said Mr. Dallyn, "but * the contractor must have both the hiring and firing." The engineer pointed out that if a contractor is employing sixty men, and the whole sixty are taken from him at once with another sixty taking: their place, "you will ball things up completely." He expressed the opinion that it was possible to work some relief scheme of chang- ing men under the plan of appoint- ing some local man, who knows the labour situation, "to supply the contractor with labour, but the con- tractor must have the hiring and firing. To ask the contractor to work any rotation scheme is un. fair. You will find the contractor will meet you more than half way though if your local man handling the matter uses discretion." The opinion of the Commission was that this matter of labour could well be left until the conference with the Board of Works tonight, after which. Mr. Dallyn will be im- mediately notified of what plan is adopted. It was arranged that with the period for the receipt of tenders closing at noon on Thursday, Nov. ember 12, a special meeting of the Commission will be held at one o* clock when the tenders received will he opened and the amounts quoted in bulk made public.

"You might appreciate why we do this, and that, if you saw a plant in operation, It would be rather helpful to see some of the special equipment which we recommend actually in use." « The matter was discussed but it was found to be most inconvenient to the majority of the Commission to take the necessary time immedi- ately for such a trip as suggested, while it was thought that as so little time was available it would be better to postpone the matter until work is under way in the con- struction of the local plant.

BRITISH FACTORIES NOW VERY BUSY Works Pay "More Wages Than For Five Years Past Leicester (England). -- Factories on day and night shifts, machinery at maximum production, unemploy- ment figures dropping rapidly---that is the story in Leicester today. To come to this city, the greatest hosiery centre in Europe, is to find an industrial tonic, Business has developed to a re- markable extent since the dead- weight of the gold standard was re- moved from Britain. Every manufacturer and trader in Leicester is full of enthusiasm for the future, The measure of this sudden tide of incoming business is told in un- mistakable terms by the official un- employment figures for the city. In the middle of August the total number of unemployed was up to 18,133. Since then the returns have been: September 7 ....... 12,300 Septembe 14 ....... 16965 September 21 ....... 16,185 September 28 ..... 15, Next week the total is "confidently expected to be far below the fifteen thousand mark. There is at this period of the year a certain scasonal fall in unemploy- ment, but nothing like the marked drop of the past few weeks had been expected. Each Jay at the labor exchanges more more vacancies for workers are being notified. The de- mand is chiefly in the hosiery line, with boots and shoes a good second. This sudden speed-up is due to the fact that foreign manufacturers, mainly in Germany and Czecho- Slovakia, will no longer deliver to England the goods which compete with Leicester, * The foreigners are breaking con- tracts rather than sell at the depre- ciated pound rate, Wholesalers and retailers in Lon- don and the provinces are expecting to run short of stock, so they are buying from Leicester--nof on y for the spring of next year, but for the remaining months of this autgmn and the January sales. Foreign- made bargains will be a minus quantity during the buying festival of January, Here are some interesting facts T have collected from, the Leicester manufacturers: One large factory paid out a re- cord wages roll last week to its 2,300 employees, 75 per cent of whom are women--nearly Sothce for the week, exclusive of ce salaries, | The famous St. Margaret's works is not only running day and night shifts, but had to cut the normal one-and-half-hour dinner time to an hour to keep pace with new work.

VESSELS WILL WINTER AT QUEBEC Five Will be Berthed There and Three at Sorel Quebec. --Quebec has scored a partial victory over Sorel, for five of the Government vessels which have hitherto been moved to Sorel for the winter season, will be berthed in the local port this winter. A message from BE, Hawken, assistant deputy Minister of Mar- ine, was received here recently by Henri Louden, secretary ol the Quebec Board of Trade, stating '1 can now advise you that instructions have been is- sued to have the department's hopper barges Nos. 1, 4 and wintered at Quebec, in addition to hopper barge No, 3 and coal barge No. 6, which are already there." The Board of Trade is not yet satisfied, however, and a request has been forwarded to Hon. Maurice Dupre, Solicitor General, asking him to see whether he could not have the Department of Marine issue orders to have more Government boats winter in Quebec. Quebec's Board of Trade has been waging an active campaign in favor of winsring Govern- ment vessels in Quehec for some time, pointing out that they had already been wintered here until Hon. P. J. A. Cardin was made Minister of Marine in the Mac- kenzie King administration, when he transferred their base to Sorel, &lso claiming ihat it was much cheaper to have the boats remain in Quebec, where the ice broke - up six weeks earlier than in Sqyel. GRANDI 13 SECOND FIDDLE TO IL DUCE Status as Mussolini's Per- sonal Envoy to U.S. Made Clear Rome.---The acceptance by Dino Grandi, Italian Foreign Minister, of President Hoover's invitation to visit Washington, and the consequent focusing of attention on a sub-ordinate of the Fascist regime, has brought into relief an extraordinary situation in respect to personalities and policies in Italy, It is one which probably has rarely arisen under any other dictatorship, Not many political chiefs whose authority is so pre-eminently based on per- sonal strength have in the past felt inclined to adopt the tactics Premier Benito Mussolini is using in allowing even a mem- ber of his Cabinet to take a posi- tion of such prominence in the Ninternational spotlight, When Signor Grandi goes to America his personality and his activities will be of interest to more thousands than have those of any subordinate of Mussolini since the advent of Fascism, The Washington step may be the most spectacular, but it is not the first in this new policy. Al- ready at the London naval con- ference, and within the last few weeks at Geneva, Signor Grandi has played roles of unusual jm- portance. Full account of these things fs always taken in Rome. Signor Grandi has at least two col- leagues in the Cabinet, and as many more fellow countrymen outside, whose authority in Italy and in the Fascist hierarchy is greater than his own. If thelr authority depended upon news. paper space, it would not amount to a great deal. They receive little publicity and scarcely ever get their pictures in the paper. On the other hand, the newspap- ers of Rome have not economized on printer's ink in making clear that the Foreign Minister is going to Washington as the 'personal representative of Premier Mus- solini, who is prohibited by cir- cumstances from leaving the country, Anyone with a knowledge of such things may see that the papers are deliberately 'playing down' Signor Grandi's present trip to Geneva and his imminent visit to Berlin, in order to min- imize the {mpression that he fis constantly on the road, Editorial discretion, however, cannot con- ceal' the evidence that in the present crisis Italy is more in- terested in playing an active part than in considerations of a per- sonal nature, however important they might be under other cir. cumstances, WOMEN CAPTAINS FOR TURKEY Women captains for 'Turkish vessels is foreseen with the outlin- ing of plans for the opening of a women's branch at the Merchant Marine School at Stamboul. The first feminine students will be en- rolled this year, and a regular course, such as is prescribed for men, will be provided for the girls. Those who wish to become engineers will he given the oppor- tunity. The change is the result of the:desire to follow the sea ex- pressed by a great: mumber of Turkish misses.

Mayor Rose- vear stated that should the rate- payers vote for the purchase of the system he was sure a decided benefit would result. The Hydro Commission of Ontario, he point- ed out were always ready to co- operate and under local manage- ment the town knew what was being done with the profits made by the local system, He strongly urged his hearers to vote for the project, not that he had any par- ticular interest in Bowmanville's affairs but because Port Hope had made such a success since the purchase that he was sure that Bowmanville could do the same. No Addition to Taxes Speaking of whether the pur- chase would involve an increase in the tax rate Mayor Rosevear stated that the purchase in his town had not affected the tax rate one cent, There could not be any increase in the tax rate he said, for the electric rates were always left so that a sufficient revenue was forthcoming to meet all requirements hesides provid- ing for a fund to keep the plant in an up to date condition. Speaking of reduction in rates | the Port Hope Mayor stated that in his town the street lighting had been reduced from $14 to $12 per light per year and that when this reduction was made a refund of $2069.10 was made to the town thus the town had free street lighting for 6 months, The residential lighting bills were re- duced from 4% to per K. W. hour on the first rate charge, and the commercial consumers got a reduction of 1c per K.W. hour on both charges. If Port Hope could make these reduc- tions in so short a time Mayor Rosevear was sure that Bowman- villo could do the same, Profits Substantial The profits of the system had not been materially altered since the purchase the mayor stated but with the profits Port Hope had made great headway. Besides providing for rate reductions the town has paid off 7 debentures amounting to $31,750.65 more than required to be paid off to date, By paying these debentures off ahead of time the town of Port Hope had been saved $22,- 3%e . 000 in interest charges. Asked Jf the system was as well cared for under the local commission as. the Hydro Commission he stated} that it carried on the same and} one would hardly notice that it! had changed bands. : Ex-Warden Smith : Ex-Warden Geo, Smith, of t United Counties, a member the Port Hope Hydro Commissions also spoke and urged the pur= chase of the system as in the best: interests of Bowmarvile. Ope portunity was presented for the property owners to ask ques- tions and in this way they be- came'enlightened on many points that were in doubt. At the close of the meeitng much of the op position which seemed to have existed in the south ward seem- ed to have died down and Mayor Ellfott who arranged the meeting confidently expects that the by- law will pass with a big major- ity. Members of the town couneil will visit the factories this week during the noon hour and will place more facts before the voters and give them the opportunity of asking questions on any sub- ject in connection with the Hydro. | UXBRIDGE MAN DIES SUDDENLY AT LINDSAY STATION Oct. 28.
