Donates Surplus Crop to Help Needy The surplus crop from the Ontario Hospital farm at Whitby has been donated by the government for the help of needy families in Whitby and Oshawa, according to an announcement made by Reeve Jackson at the Coun- cil meeting on Monday even- ing. The Hospital bas on hand a large quantity of carrots parsnips and cabbage, and the Town Council, in accept- ing the donation with sincere thanks, decided to take de- livery for the present of one hundred bags of each, these to be distributed among needy families in the town. The Comncil decided . to ask the citizens to co-oper- ate in the distribution of these vegetables by reporting to the chairman of relief, Coun, Fred Landon, or the clerk, the names of families known to be in need and to whom vegetables © would be acceptable, New Minister of St. Andrews to be Inducted The new minister of St, An- drew's Presbyterian Church, Whitby, the Rev. Harvey Car- michael, M.A., Ph.D., will be in- ducted at an impressive service to be held in the church on Thursday evening of this week, and s of the Presbytery of Toronte. To this service members, adherents and friends of the church have been invited. On Sunday next Rev. Dr. Carmichael will com- mence his ministry at St. An- drew's preaching at morning "amd evening services. He 'mov~ ed to Whitby this week with his family from Montreal and is now occupying the manse. Willard Schmidt, 6 feet 8 inches tall, plans to play center on the basketball team of Creighton Uni- versity, Neb, during the coming season. Houston, Tex., has an inland course for motor boat racing. When wet weather ruined the dirt track speedway racing business, promot- crs decided that outboard racing would be more appropriate, Con- sequently they constructed the hali- mile water speedway. For the past two weeks, the officials of the Public Utility Commission have been greatly concerned over difficulty experi- enced in getting sufficient water through the intake pipe to sup- ply the.normal needs of the town. This condition is entirely due to the exceeding 'low level of Lake Ontario :at the present time--a level considerably lower than has ever heen reached since the municipal waterworks were estab- lished in 1903. Ordinarily, the water flows by gravity from the intake pipe to the low lft pumps which deliver the water to the flow sand filter plant. It became necessary on the 7th inst. to pump the water through the in- take pipe and the commission put on a gang of men to rig up an emergency method to pump the intake pipe by utilizing some of the old steam equipment that had not been in use for years, This and a fortunate shift in the wind, enabled the waterworks depart- ment to build up a reserve sup- ply in the filter plant and, once more, the officials began to breathe more easily. During the past week an ef- fort was made to lower the in- take pipe at its high point, which was exactly at the existing shore line. Con'rary winds and stormy Measures Taken by P.U.C. to Increase the Local Water Supply but the Commission seas hampered the work and it had to be abandoned for better weather conditions, Happily, however, last Monday proved to be an ideal day for the jo and with Frank Steffler as foreman, the pipe was successfully lower- ed a matter of eight inches. It is expected that this will tide the town over the present low water condition in the Lake. At any rate, a sufflicie supply is once more comihg by gravity, arg still holding their steam reserve ready to jump the intake ripe again, should the level of wat. . in t lake continue to fall. Experience in lake levels at the Pump Plant in the past is that . the lowest level is usually reached in De- cember of each year and the highest level comes in the month of June. Undoubtedly, the rain fall has much to do with the levels of the Great Lakes. There is also a be- lief that the Chicago Drainage Canal has a direct influence on the levels of Lakes Erie and On- tario. The rise and fall of Lake Ontario appears to run in cycles as for six or seven years in suc- cession the water will be uni- formly high and for a similar period of time it appears to go the other way. There will be no night vocational this year according to the decisior reported that following for applications night classes mittee advertisment registration if had been received, mereial course, and the other four divided among three different courses, It was therefore decided that interest in Night School was not sufficient to warrant establish- ment of courses this year and the Board decided to allow the School to lapse for the present vear in the hope that next year interest may be revived to sufficient extent to warrant establishment of courses once more. Report of the principal of the High School showed 234 enrolled, 152 of whom are town pupils and the balance from the county No Night Vocational Classes at the High School This Winter classes .at the Whitby Highli School | uty [to of the Whitby Board of Lducation | Dr. made last Wednesday evening.
