A careful perusal of the report reveals some very in- teresting figures, some of them cov- ered in the annual report of the Whitby Commission, relating to 10- cal Hydro operation, also to oper- ation and extension of rural power lines in the Oshawa Rural Power District. The keynote of all the re- ports may be said to be progress, with more power being used, finan- cial statements of the various mu- nicipalities improved, rural lines ex- tended and more consumers added. Whitby's share of the capital cost of the Hydro system is $236.529.73 The average horsepower supplied in the year after correction for power factor was 1,200.6; cost of power purchased was $8502.60; operating, maintenance and administrative ex- penses were $8,733.59, and interest $11,029.87. Provision for sinking fund was $2,438.66. | The amount | charged to the municipality in re- | spect of power supplied to it was | $36,434.33. Stree! Lighting Cost to the municipality in 1939 for street lighting was $4,087.06, or a per capita cost of $1.10. Number of lamps was 171, namely, 165 100 watt; 3 150 watt; 3 500 watt. (This of course, has been altered since the installation of the new lights in the business section--Ed.. ts shows as at October 31, 1939, a total of 908 domestic con- sumers, who used 1,690,060 kwt, hours, with a revenue of $24,311.57; 166 commercial consumers with a kwt. hour consumption of 718.641 and revenue of-/$13,106.03, and 23 power service consumers, using an average monthly horse power of 620.3, and yielding a revenue of $14,- 21799. Total number of consumers of all three services is given as 1,097. ; Whitby's New Lights ' Changes noted in the Eastern On- tario system is one that all poles and overhead wires were removed from the businsss section of the town and a aw underground street lighting system was installed. © More Power Used Peak load in horsepower from July to December, 1938, and from July to December, 1939, shows an increase of 469 for the Town of Whitby. For. the same periods In- Actual Power Costs Actual cost to the Commission on the works to serve electrical energy to municipalities on a horse power basis is shown as $30.35 for the Town of Whitby; $46.06 for Ux- bridge; $44.00 for Port Perry and $39.15 for Cannington. 5 Rural Power District In the Oshawa Rural Power dis- #rict, which includes, Pickering, serviced by the Whitby Commission, Brooklin, Myrtle, and other rural places close to Whitby, there are 206.58 miles of line, and 2,322 con- sumers. A number of extensions were made during the year, with new consumers added.

MASONS STUDY PLANS T0 AID IN WAR EFFORT Discuss Means To Bring Children of Masons in Britain To Canada Toronto, July 18--"The question of what the Masonic Order is to do to help win the war has been upper- most in our minds, not only of the officers of the Grand Lodge, but of the officers and members of the subordinate lodges," said Grand Master Dr. J. A. Dobbie, of Ottawa, Canada in Ontario, in 85th annual communicetion in Central Tech. "Many suggestions have been made and considered, but the me- jority of them seemed to be along the line of contributing money to organizations alresdy in possession of large sums, or of providing ma- terials for soldiers, which, if there is any great need the government is already in a position to supply. The Red Cross is an excellent or- ganization, doing good work, and tharefore, on the recommendation of the «and Irejeaer and some of the past grand masters the sum of $500 was sent to that organization in January. If further contributions are necessary they can be mede." BEHIND EMPIRE "The Masonic fraternity is behind the British Empire, behind the gov- ernment and behind every organize- tion that is putting forth any effort to win the war, to the last dollar and the last man," said M. W. Bro. Dr. J. A. Dobbie, of Ottawa, at the conclusion of his address to the Grand Lodge of Masons this morn- ing. , He expressed regret that the first step undertaken by the European dictators wes the destruction of the Masonic Order. The Grand Master censured ques- tionable methods of society periodi- cals and warned against practices that were undignified and open to question. CARING FOR REFUGEES The Grand Master explained the work initiated by M. W. Bro. Frank Copus, of Stratford, past grand mas- ter, to bring the children of Masons in the British Isles to Masonic homes in Canada as a maiter of safety, Following a conference at Ottawa with Hon. A. Crerar and his deputy, F. C. Blair, a committee was selected to act as an official central board for the Grand Lodge of Cana- da in co-operation with the Child- ren's Aid Society, comprising M. W. Bros. Copus, John A. Rowland, R. B. Dargavel, W, J. Dunlop; R. W. Bros. H. G, French, N. F, D, Kelley, Dr. T. A. Carson, Ewart Dixon, grend secretary, Hamilton; W, Bros. Russell Treleaven, C. H. Cunning- hen, with the deputy grand master, R. W. Bro. John McRae, of King- ston, and the grand master, M. W. Bro. Dr. Dobbie, Sacrifice would be necessary by some to ensure that th. plan operate smoothly and with perfection. ! It is expected that about 1,000 children will be cared for as a first contingent. Alrezdy a large number has been placed in Toronto homes, through the subordinate lodges. NEW DATING SYSTEM The grand master paid a tribute to the late M. W. Bro. W. N. Pon- ton, K.C,, past grand master, and others, and commended the work of M. W. Bro. R. B, Dargavel es super- visor of benevolence. Speaking of difficulty that has been caused to Grand Lodge of- ficers, he said the fixing of meeting dates with relationship to the moon might be improved by a more up-to- date system, Gratification "was expressed as presenting Grand Lodge jewels to Masons with fifty years or more service. In Napanee recently M.W, Bro. W. 8. Herrington, K.C., P.G.M., was presented with one, having completed 53 yeers of Masonic service at the age of 80 years, ; Has Important Task "The Masonic Order has a great and important part to pay in the world today in furthering & sense of kinship and mutual configence among citizens of every country, I 'Forced Railroad to Tear Up Tracks in his address to Grand Lodge of AF. & AM, | Mrs. Dorothy Douglas, who has "declared war" on the New York Central Railroad by forcing the line sail a boat under a drawbridge, is 14, .at their New York home. cruiser, the Dottie, which she kept lft, America's navigable waters, of her | creek into the Hudson. to the creek a few hours later. tracks are taken up so that the dra parently, is only beginning, Mrs. D and probably will have the railroad firmly believe that the silent influ- ence of Masonry is one of the most powerful agencies in the world for the prometiop of the spirit of true brotherhood and of 'nterngiional peace," said Mayor Day, in extend- ing the city's welcome to Grand Lodge. Unquestionenly, the tions of the organization have con- tributed. a major share to. the na- tional spirit that binds our people in an integral unit of the British Em- pire. Massonry will continue to be a great moral force in developing the high type of leadership that is so essential in these days of con- fusion and difficulty." W. Bro. Charles Scott, of York city lodges. There is a registration of about 1,800 members of Grand Lodge.

The figures are interesting, inas- much as they reveal that despite exoptionally wet weather, erops for the most part, are in excellent shape. Here are the figures: Fall wheat Spring wheat .. Oats Barley Rye Mixed grains ... Peas Beans Soy beans ....:c..isv0e0 eis Buckwheat Potatoes | Roots Fodder corn | | | Sugar beets ..... Alfalfa . Hay and clover Pasture : a Bulletin states that prospects are j for a generally below average crop of all varieties of apples with the exception of Spys and Snows, which | show average, and Wealthy and | early varieties which range from | poor to below average. Quality, however, will be dependent upon the extent of further damage re- sulting from fungus now apparent and other pests as a result of weather conditions. All varieties of pears appear below average, with Kieffers some- what more promising than other varieties. Development is good, but the set is extremely spotty. Plums have a very uneven set, both as to variety and locality, with some no showing. A below average crop is indicated in all varieties, especially Japanese. Although strawberry plants show excellent growth and foliage con- dition, considerable decay develop- ed in a somewhat lighter yield than ed in a somewhat lighter wield than the particularly heavy one origin- ally anticipated. The peak of pro- duction is now over in the main producing areas. Raspberries show good foliage and cane growth with crop prospects very promising.
