The scat- tered efforts of many could be channelled into an efficient single stream of relief, without a loss of individuality as to persons, groups or organizations.

More Aid Per Dollar For example: the cost of placing a ready packaged 10 lb. parcel in the hands of a recipient in Britain, exclusive of content purchase price, whereas through UEFB concessions the comparable cost would be 57c to 79¢c.

Representatives of labor and industry should be included in the discussion, the motion said.

News Budget From Manchester Manchester, Nov. 18--Alex Johns and Grant Christie are exhibiting | livestock at the Royal Winter Fair, Remember the bazaar on Thurs- | day afternoon, Nov. 25th, in the Township Hall. |" A number from here saw the Ice Capades in Toronto last week. Cliff Gartshore presented a reso lution which Whitby merchants had endorsed some time ago. Oshawa power is on from five to six so Whitby people who work in Oshawa, and others are doing the bulk of their shopping there with consequently bad effect on local business, the brief stated. "It is suicidal for a housewife to attempt to come downtown after five o'clock," Mr. Gartshore sald. F. J. McIntyre: "I would imagine that something could be done if the factories would agree to work on Saturdays and close some other day of the week." Mr. Gartshore amplified his re- marks on: loss of business saying that in the five to six hour, a large portion of Whitby business was-us- ually done and that customers had been educated for a long time ' to shop at this hour. Now, prefering lighted stores, they go to Oshawa and the result is that Whitby loses business which rightfully belongs here. : Only one other town in this area of Ontario has its power cut from five to six, it was stated.
