Senet (J (erene NO CHANGE IN POOL POLICY No -alteration in Pool policy will result from the government's action, George Mclvor, general sales manager of the Central Sell- ing Agency of the Western Wheat Pools, stated in an interview.

Before the governments would be in any way financially involved, he mentioned, all the pools' wheat would have to be sold at an average price of below $1.00 per bushel, basis No. 1 Northern at Fort William.

Meanwhile, thousands of Western farmers awaited the end of a period of drastic price reductions, characterized by pool officials as unwar- ranted by basic supply and demand conditions. Resources of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, stood pledged as guarantees for the 15 per cent margin demanded by Canadian banks on loans to the co-operatives--but wheat values slipped downward more than a cent and half per bushel. On the cash market No. 1 Northern was quoted at $1.2014, more than four cents below _last year's figure--and the world crop this year is estimated at 538,000,000 bushels less than that of 1928-29, and 132,000,000 bushels less than the five-year average from 1924 to 1928.

The Atherley Bridge Question For five years the Atherley Bridge question has been before the County Council, and as yet it is not settled, and may not be for some time, The bridge, spanning the Narrows at Orillia, has long been completed, and the County of Simcoe which financed the bridge, is demanding from Ontario County its share of -the cost of the bridge, but has not been able to ob- tain proper vouchers showing just 'what Ontario County was entitled to pay, so on motion of Reeve Albert W. Jackson, of Whitby, a resolution was passed authorizing the solicitor to engage a competent accountant to go over the vouchers of payments made by Simcoe county and report to the County Council. A special session of the Council will be necessary to pass a by-law authorizing the issuing of debentures to pay this County's share. It will be held in June. The Roads and Bridges Committee of which Reeve Albert W. Jackson, of Whitby, is chairman, presented a report to County Council on Friday evening containing several important recommendations, one of which was that no~further appeal be taken in connection with recent litigation be- tween the Township of Pickering and the County of Ontario regarding the Whitevale bridge, in Pickering Town- ship. The Committee paid a visit on Thursday afternoon to the Hghways Department at Toronto, and their re- commendation was based on informa- tion obtained there. Recommendations in the report were as follows: "Your Committee has considered the request of Reach Township for a grant of $200 on the Road running southerly from Victoria Corners and hereby recommend that this matter be held over until the June Session of this Council when your Committee will have had an opportunity to visit and inspect the location. "Your Committee has considered the application of D. H. Coleman, treasurer of Simcoe County, for set- tlement of Ontario County's share of the cost of Atherley Bridge. Your Committee recommend that the clerk be hereby authorized to write Simcoe County, advising that owing to the illness of our county clerk and solici- tor the council is unable at this time to close up the Atherley Bridge mat- ter, but at a special meeting of this council in the near future, the whale matter will be closed up and a cheque forwarded to Simcoe County. "Your Committtee has received the letter and copy of resolution forward- ed to this council by the Township of Whitby, re the White bridge in that township. Your committee recom- mends that this matter be held over until the June Session," On the afternoon of Thursday, Jan. 30th, your committee as instructed by this council went to Toronto and were granted a conference with Mr. Muir, Roads. FATHER OF FIVE CRUSHED , WHEN CHAIN FALLS ON HIM AT G.M.C. STAMPING PLANT (Oshawa Daily Times) When a great chain fell from. the | crane of a conveyor in the stamping plant of General Motors of Canada, Ltd., J, Mortimer Johnston, 26, of 384 Windsor street south, Harmony, and father of five little children, was struck and almost instantly killed. Johnston was passing beneath the crane on his way home after finishing work for the day. The huge hook, used to lift heavy objects, moved to one side and dragged from a platform on which it had been resting a long chain, which fell upon him. The in- jured man was immediately rushed to the General Hospital but was dead when he arrived there. : The tragedy is particularly sad in view of the fact that five small child- ren, the oldest aged six and youngest eight weeks have been left fatherless in their humble little home. They are too young almost to realize the loss which they have sustained. The death of her husband has come as a great shock to the mother who has been at- tempting to bear up bravely under the strain. Mortimer Johnston had been out of work for some time during the fall and early winter and he had only been engaged on full time for a few weeks before the accident occurred. A young man of good appearance, he was well liked by all who knew him and the department of the plant in which he has been working has been saddened by his death. Coroner Dr. D. S. Hoig ordered an inquest into the fatality and a post mortem examination has been made, A coroner's jury was empanelled and viewed the remains in the Luke Burial Parlors, The body was ordered to be re- leased for burial and the jury ad- journed until a later date when the inquest will be held. The police to- day were unable to give any details concerning the fatality. The deceased was born near Port Perry and came to Oshawa over five years ago. Besides his wife, who was formerly Miss Minnie Winacott, of Oshawa, he is survived by five child- ren, Raymond, aged 6; Lorraine, aged four; Ronald, aged three; Billy, eigh- teen months, and Vera, aged eight weeks. His parents, Mr, and Mrs. John Johnston, of 555 Albert street, also survive, together with 6 brothers and three sisters, Virtor, of Whitby; Louis, of Oshawa, Jack, Dudley and Alfred, dt home; and three sisters, Mrs. Jack Crowell, Mrs. MacLean, and Miss Rose Johnston, at home. The death of this young father has aroused the sympathy of the com- munity and in fact the whole city. Neighbors have been calling at the stricken home anxious to render an assistance or to offer consolation. t------)() Orns CHURCHES WILL UNITE IN PICKERING VILLAGE Permission has been granted by the Oshawa Presbytery of the United Church of Canada for the union of St. Andrew's and St, Paul"s Churches in Pickering Village. The permission is subject to provision being made for outside charges of these two churches, Brougham and Audley. The Presbytery reported a net in- crease in membership of 872 during 1929, the present membership being 10,183. There were 846 new members in all received during the year. There was raised for all purposes in the Presbytery $212,869, the Missionary and Maintenance Fund receiving $41,161, an increase of $2,000 over the previous year. There are 57 Sunday Schools with 10,305 members in the Presbytery, and 96 Young People's groups with 2,683 members, the an- nual reports show. Cree YO sina GENERAL CONDITIONS Commercial Letter--The Canadian Bank of Commerce. There is more activity in business than a month ago mainly because of a sumption of operations in several in- dustries, which is usual at this season; this seasonal gain is greater than seemed reasonable to expect a few months ago, but it is less than was re- corded in the early part of 1929. Certain economic troubles have been carried over from 1929 and will be felt for some months, but most of them | "| have become time-worn and their| 'harmful influence has lessened. Under industries, and indications we find of the course business in the current year, although any conclusions based on the latter both good and bad features, but with a fairly pleasing background. An im- portant question of the moment is whether there will be a strong foreign demand for Canadian wheat. There are some authorities who believe that certain European countries will follow their usual practice and buy more heavily in the latter part of the' wheat year than in the first, It may be noted that the bulk of the supply to be drawn upon by importing countries between now and the end of the cur- rent wheat year, the 31st of July, is in North America, and that about half of this is in Canada. Long-range weather forecasting' does not, strictly speaking, lie within the province of business analysis, but the adverse climatic conditions experienced in 1929 are not usually repeated with such severity for some years. The total precipitation in Western Can- ada since September is above normal, but it has mostly been in the form of snow which provides less effective moisture proportionately than rain; however, the soil bed has been im- proved for field work and for germi- nation in the spring, although it is more heavily infested than usual with weed seeds and with insect germs in some districts. er sean Qe WORLD'S GRAIN EXHIBITION AND CONFERENCE Development of the work of the World's Grain Exhibition and Con- ference to be held in Regina in 1932, has made it necessary for the staff to move from the Stadium on the Regina Exhibition Grounds to larger offices, These have been secured over the Imperial Bank, at the corner of Eleventh Avenue and Scarth street, at which place the business is now be- ing conducted. The announcement and Prize List of the World's Grain Exhibition and Conference will be ready for distri- bution some time in February. The prize list consists of 55 classes distributed for wheat, oats, barley, corn, rye, -buckwheat, rice, millet, field peas, fleld beans, soy beans, flax, hemp, alfalfa, clover, grasses, sum- flower, field roots and vegetables-- $200,000.00 in cash prizes. There are six classes in the wheat section: Hard Red Spring, Hard Red Winter, Soft Red Winter, White Winter, Duram and a special class for ten bushels of Hard Red Spring Wheat. In each of the first four classes the prizes total $15,000.00. There are fifty prizses--in each class; the first prize being $2,600 graded down to $60 for the fifteenth prize. In the Duram class the prizes total $10,000, the first prize being $1500 graded down to $29 for the fifteenth prize--fifty prizes in each class. Each exhibit must bear variety name and consist of 50 pounds. Each Exhibitor may make entry in as many classes as desired but not more than one entry in any one class, There is no restriction respecting the year in which the exhibit is grown. RS A PUBLIC SCHOOL INSPECTOR FOR OSHAWA? C. F. Cannon will be named public school inspector for the city of Osh- awa, and the agreement with the County of Ontario whereby R. A. Hutchison performs the duties of in- spector for this city, will be termi- nated on July 31st next, if a recom- mendation passed by the Board of Education, is approved by the Ontario Department of Education. Re-ar- rangement of the Collegiate classes also came in for much discussion last night. Mr. Cannon has for some time been supervising principal of the Oshawa public schools. The move, which was approved by the board, will promote Mr. Cannon into the position of in- spector. He will continue doing prac- tical work as at the present time, but it' will be unnecessary in future for any outside inspector to visit the schools of the city. The move also has another angle, and it is stated that it will be wel- must be regarded as purely tentative.
