Unfavarable weather on Wednesday caused a postponement until Thursday night and it loaked pfor a time as if there might have to be a f urther postponement, but good weatber prevailed and the carnival came off successfully. Considering the year, the caataess af the niglit and the general fact that money does flot seem sa plenti- ful. the carnival Ivas a gratifymng success. A crawd estimnated ta ex- ceed twa thousand people f illed the Rotary Park and up until past il a'clack the twelve boaths did a good business. The crawd began ta gather at the Park as early as seven o'clock, and business started ta earnest when the Canadian Legion Band paraded througb the tawni on a truck, brtag- ing patrons down ta the park by tbe hundreds. At the park a willtag band af warkers were ready in eacb baotb ta 1ook af ter the wants ai those wha wlshed ta take a chance on the wheels af fortune wlth the abject af belptag crippled oblldren. The honor ai being tbe flrst boatb ta get under way went ta Wes. Caw- ker whose "Bacon and Sklllet" baoth did a raaring business fram early until late in the eventag. It was not much later, however, when Tom Holgate's stentorian vaice brake with a reverberattag crash on the evenlng air and the blankets and rugs started to go.

Thanksglving Day, Manday, oc- tober lOth. Bowmanville Mai ntains Status as ChO.nier Industrial Centre oF United -Counties ýs Town StilI Leads in Value of Manufactured Pro- ;s ducts, Capital , nvested n and Industrial Growth, Bureau of Statistics Re- port Shows Accarding ta figures cantained in the current issue ai the Canada Year Book, issued annually by the Dominion Bureau ai Statistîcs at Ottawa, Bowmanvllc continues te bold is own as anc ai the mast progressive ai Ontanla's tadustrial towns and incldentally tee biggest Industrial center li the United Caunies, by reasan af the value ai B its manufactured producs.' xIn glanctag ibraugir tee figures ht is sunprising ta note haw many larger tawns sncb as Oillia, Lind- say, Renfrew, Brampton, Sudbury are many thousands ai dollars be- hind Bawmanville ta the value ai its manufactured gaads. But ion the sake ai compaisan Lwe wiil stick ta ncarby centres. Ta make a fair campanisan we wiil take Part Hope and Cobourg and Whitby in Ontario County which is a town about the size ai Bowmanville. The populations ai these centres are camparatively even alteougli all ilirce 'boast appnoxlmately 1000 mare than Bowmanvllle. To show Bowmanvllle's bealthy position with regard ta investcd capital we pub- lish the figures shawing the number ai industries in ecd town and the amauni ai capital employed in these industries. Capital Industries Employcd Bawmanville 19 $3.796.384. Port Hope 28 3,104,575. Cobourg 28 2,686,454. Whitby 9 926,275. These figures are Intencsting be- cause ai the fact thai bath Port Hope and Cobourg show a larger number afIindustries and yci a smaller amaunt ai capital employed. Oi iurther intenesi is the statistics showing ilie number ai people cm- ployed ta local industries and the amounts paîd In wages and salaries %q, c9pp?ýred wîth the othen tawns: 41 ý1i. Na. ai Salaries Employees and Wages Bawmanville 640 $655.825. Part Hope 648 788,727. Cobourg 496 445,140. Whitby 294 268,830. Lasi year in commenttag on teese figures we wcre farced ta point oui tbat wagcs in Bowmanville avcraged less than in any ailier ai thesei tawns but ibis ycar teings appear ta . b ave changed somewbat and with Port Hope the average wage per employee exceeds $1000 per year. IBowxnanville, Wbitby and Cobourg appear ta pay about the same aver- age wage. It migbt be pointed out as a further comparison that the average wage in Oshawa is $1500 per year. In the iigures presented last year Bowmanvllle, the smnailest town was emplaying mare men than any otber af tbe tawn but the figures here show Port Hope ta be emplaylng more than Bawmanvllle. There is yet another set ai figures that are afilnterest regarding Bow- manville's position as a manufac- turing center. These figures give tbe cost af materials used in the ta- dustries af the tawn and tbe grass value af the goods manufactured. Cost ai Grass Value ai Materlal Manufactures Bowmanvllle 1,677,515 3,962,587 Cobourg 1,023,884 2,456,060 Port Hope 735.302 2,191,402 Wbltby 42P.763 860,578 It 18 only wben tbrough the cour- tesy af tbe Bureau af Statistics onet is able ta see tbls figures that wef are able ta, grasp the important pos- 1 ition ai Bowmanvilleie th te indus- î trial warld. Tbese figures are for the year 1929 as tbe year book sta- tlstics are af necesslty somewhat late, the data being mast complete but not belng àvailable until more than a year after each year's busi- ness is clasedi. It is then edited and put into book iorm, farming only a very small part af a volume af 1100 pages. ARREST CHICKEN THIEVES Gardon Varnur and Samuel Mils are langulshlng ta tbe Cobourg Caunty Jail as the result af smart work on the part ai County Con- stable Arthtyr Millson on Monday.
