Les Reed, Whitby third sacker, made up for swinging out his first three times as he blasted a three- run homer in the sixth to push Whitby's lead to 8-4. The ball was hit solidly and ended up over the fence in deep right field. The visitors made a comeback try in the eight as two errors in the Whitby infield sandwiched between a hit and a flelder's choice play that was not in time to prevent the run from scoring gave Bowmanville a pair of unearned runs, However, they were equalized by two Whitby tallies in the last of the same frame, as Gates came through with a two-run single, his fourth hit of the afternoon.

Landing at Wellington he travelled by train to Wanganui, then he had a 48-mile journey by bus to Pipiriki, and then a 20-mile trip by river steamer up the Wanganul River, which flows through sparsely popu- lated areas in its upper reaches near the centre of the North Island. Even when he reached the lonely up-river landing at Tangahoe he had an hour and a half climb over a bush track before he reached his farm, which is in the forest-clad hinterland, three hours' walk from the nearest neighbor. But he had a welcome at the end of it as his mother, who has managed the farm alone, had decked the homestead with flags gnd hung ribbons round the horses' necks in honor of her son's return. ct rl SHORTAGE OF HOMES MENACES BIRTH-RATE London, Sept. 1.--(CP)--Unless homes are provided, the falling birth-rate "is likely in the near future to present the nation with the vital problem of biological sur- vival" W, Mervyn Law, Wolver- hampton borough engineer and sur- veyor, told the Municipal and County Engineers' conference.

J. DUTHIE Whitby Editor . na "madier_ oralisian of of- ensive strategy", Montgomery of Alamein added another to his al- ready long string of victories on Baturday when few hours he captured the hearts of the 20,000 citizens who turned out to welcome him to Toronto. Those who lined the streets to see him, and those who met him at the various receptions that he attended during the day were all alike im- pressed by his pleasant smile, his offhand manner, and the modest way in which he received the cheers and plaudits of the thronging crowds, From 11.40 in the morning when he first appeared until well into the evening when his public duties had been Sompleied he was the same pleasant, thoughtful, but incisive and inspiring man who had led the British and Canadian forces to so many stirring victories and eventually to Berlin, : The man who made the jeep po- pular as the senior officers' speak- ing platform, had, before he came to Toronts ,the reputation of being a martinet. He failed completely to live up to this reputation on Sat- urday, and his friendliness brought admiring comment from all sides. Probably the most repeated remark of spectators had something to do with his Irish ancestry, as his com- patriots were out in force to see one of their greatest generals in person, Mayor Saunders described him as "a true son of Ulster" and sald that of the many visits by famous people to the city "none will stand out more vividly than that of Field Marshal the Viscount Montsomery of Alamein, G.C.B, Made Three Speeches During the day's activities, dress- ed in Canadian battle dress, and wearing his familiar tank beret with its two badges, and row upon row of brilliant ribbons, he waved at the crowds from the Union Station to Convocation Hall, made three speeches, two of them impromptu, and by his bearing and his smiling countenance made himself a host of friends, As he first came into Union Sta- tion, surrounded by a bevy of brass, or senior officers, the cheering started, He appeared shorter than his pictures, but just as striking, with his piercing eyes and sharp- featured face. He strolled through the underground tunnel, hands in his pockets, but straightened up to receive the general salute from the guard of honor, drawn up for his inspection, Before he started along the ranks he motioned the photo- graphers away from him, and then walked slowly past, stopping to talk with those veterans who wore cam- paign ribbons on their well pressed uniforms, The guard of honor was composed of troops from Camp Borden, and paratroops from Camp Shilo, Manitoba, The escort for the Field Marshal included these troops and ten jeeps, manned by men of the Royal Can- adlan Dragoons all sitting, immov- able, on their seats with arms cross ed on their chests, Behind them Monty in a black open car was driven. up Bay Street, where the crowds were thick on both sides, and all windows were jammed with spectators. The general himself kept his eyes on the people he was passing, saluting them cheerfully. but he also was staring dt the tall buildings on either side. They evidently impressed him, because he mentioned them later when re- plying to civic welcome of Mayor Robert Saunders. In his reply he mentioned the names of the Toronto regiments which had fought under his com- mand, and thanked the mayor for the city's gift of an engraved silver tray. Of this he said, "it will have have a place in the dining room of the home I am building" His former residence had been des- troyed by Nazi bombs while he was fighting abroad. Honor British Soldiers In thanking the citizens of To- ronto for his reception he said, "It is almost overwhelming the welcome I have received in this great city, but I think it is just Canada's way of showing its esteem for the Brit- ish soldiers who fought alongside their Canadian brothers in the rN" At the civic banquet held in the King Edward, Monty, replying to the welcoming address of Premier George Drew, said "I like to feel that we shall take into our civil life something of the unselfishness and comradeship of the battle- front." Cheering crowds followed his pro- gress to Convocation Hall of the University of Toronto, where he re- ceived the honorary degree of Doc- tor of Laws, before a packed house. In the red robes of the degree, and flanked on either side by Premier Drew and Lieutenant Governor Al- bert Mathews, he heard Chancellor Cody say "Is it any wonder that Thursdays A Representative of The Singer Sewing Machine Co. will be in Whitby te service all makes of sewing machines, Expert Workmanship Guaranteed If in need of service write or phone before the above days.

Must Train Youth He continued, by calling for a great effort by the older generation in the training of the nation's youth, "We must pour into those who must win the peace the spirit that won the war." His concluding remarks were 'Today your nation and mine are rich in leaders; thou- sands of men in this war have had their qualities of leadership de- veloped in the hard school of battle; they are experiencd as no others are experienced. I suggest that it is the duty of all of us to devote whatever time we can to some form of youth training; all directed to one great object and that is to produce men of character who will be of real value to nations in the days that lie ahead, If this is done we can look forward to the future with complete and absolute cone fidence." From Convocation Hall Monty drove to Hart House, where, after being welcomed by the Hon. Vine cent Massey and Mrs, Massey, he met servicemen who had fought un- der him, From there he and his re- tinue moved to Queen's Park, where he had tea and visited with wound- ed veterans at the garden party. The final tour of the day was down University Avenue and here again crowds were waiting to cheer him on his way. After this busy day the Field Marshal, who is Chief of the Im- perial General Staff, retired to his hotel room to catch up on his work. On Sunday he surprised residents of Niagara Falls when he made a quick trip to view the falls and to review his memory on the battles fought in the peninsula, He also found time to be godfather at the christening of the young daughter of Lt. Col. Trumbull Warren, OBE, who was his Canadian ADC during many of the war years and who is accompanying him on his Canadian tour. Finally he went aboard a R.CAF. plane, headed for Winni- peg and another civic reception, + Behind him he left thousands of Torontonians who will always think of him as the man with the black beret and the pleasant smile, Sport 'Calendar Tuesday, Sept. 3, Town Park, 6:45 pm--Town League softball play=- offs, Wolves at "Old Boys", AMATEUR CHAMPION "Gentleman Jack" Jackson was the first and only amateur to hold the world championship boxing ti- tle, in 1795.

Two weeks and two days elap- sed before their representatives came to settle terms. Meanwhile another incustrial firm approached me, wishing to buy the whole far of some 125 acres.
