His 'wide political and administrative experience is said to be highly 'prized by Mr. Baldwin. Aree ge A plan to stimulate the building of homes in the Town of Whitby at a time when prospective builders are handicapped on account of the very high taxes was unfolded at the Town Council "by Councillor Caleb French, at the recent meeting. Councillor French 'would introduce a system of graded assessment over a , period of four years for the benefit of those wishing to build sub- stantial homes. For the first year, while the house is under con- struction there would be no taxes; for the second year one third of the final assessment; for the third year two thirds of the final assessment; for the fourth year the full amount. Councillor French felt that with the existing very high tax rate there was very little encouragement for anyone to build anything in the Town of Whitby. =r . : : 1 "Speaking generally, there is with politicians a failure to re- cognize a proportionate scale in values.

The crest of the flood, it is reported, might not be reached 'for a few days. Torrential rains and melting snow in the moun- tains sent the Fraser pushing through dykes at several points. The Fraser carried driftwood and debris and it spread into new areas.

Rural and urban ministers and laymen mingle_together in frank fellowship, and (except in rare instances) in helpful brotherhood. : This year at the Conference held at Oshawa an optimistic note was struck by the visiting speaker--Rev. Chas. Endicott, of Saskatoon. His exper- ience during the years of drought and depression has proved to him that the heart of humanity is sound. Only | when diverted by destructive criticism do people turn from the church. Out in that Western area where physical want and suffering have been so great in recent years, there have been shown a fine courage and spiritual power. Suffering has made men kin. This kinship was most happily shown in the way Ontario materially helped the West. And the Church was-the factor that- inspired and made this assistarice possible.' The story of this personal generosity, courage, and splendid helpfulness, (touched as it was with a true sense of humor), was an inspiration to all who heard it. The Financial Outlook As givings to the church are entire- ly voluntary, it is not surprising that there should be a slump when throughout the world there has been a shortage of money--due to high taxa- tion and over production, Yet in spite of these difficulties, there are in- dications that the tide is turning. The appeal for leadership by the ministers was strongly urged by Rev. Dr. Pid+ geon,- The outlook myst he hroad-- "If we lead the people to close their hearts against the people of the world, by the same action we cloge the hearts of the people against our own work," 'There is an appeal 'in Foreign Missions that there is not in any other cause on earth," . The Great Objectives Practical service by the church was urged by studying the immediate local "need; extending the. vision of church members; leading youth into an awareness of need and opportunity for Christian service; educating for Missions; bringing missionaries and church members into personal contact --God's people must give the truth to the whole world, Interim Transfers Interim transfers into and out of the Conference from April 25, 1936 to April 30, .1936--Rev.

These were ably presented by Rev, John Coburn. . Basing his remarks on "The World challenge of the Christian Church", the Rev. Dr. Coburn claimed that the world as it stands today is in a bad way. In a challenging and forceful address, he made reference to the world-wide threat of war, and stated that at any moment war may break and destroy all that has'been built up in civilization during the past years. The economic conditions are also in a bad way, he claimed, and pointed out that unemployment and suffering are widespread in the world today. "The material condition is not the most serious," he asserted, "but the moral condition and the breaking down of self respect demand consider- able thought." "This drift toward war and eco- nomic conditions does not reflect very highly upon the intelligence of the people," the speaker claimed. Reference was made to the lower- ing of moral standards in our age, and the alarming increase in the num- ber of divorces granted in the Do- minion. In mentioning the enormous increase in illegitimacy the doctor claimed that the figures of illegiti- macy do not tell the whole story. "Modern science provides methods of prevention, and the figures of ille- gitimacy present only a degree of the impurity prevalent" he alleged. - Youth and Liquor The problem of drink and the in- creage in the facilities of distribution were deplored by the speaker, and he 'claimed there were 1766 places in Ontario for the distribution of alco- holiec beverages. . The distressing in- crease in the number of drinkers was stressed, and it was claimed that the majority of the new drinkers were "the fair flower of the youth of the Province and the Dominion, and more than that, the womanhood of the country." There are more women in Canada drinking liquor today that at any time in the past fifty years, Dr. Coburn insisted, and liquor is going (Continued on back page) County Council "During the discussion of the report of a special committee on equalization presented at the County Council on Thursday morning, the Town of Whit- by was very much in the limelight. A recommendation that the town's as- sessment for county purposes for 1937 be reduced by one hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars proved to be the real bone of contention. The main opposition to a reduction for the Town of Whitby was voiced by Ralph Mowbray, Deputy-Reeve of Pickering, who contended that the Equalization Committee in deciding upon a reduc- tion for Whitby had taken into con- sideration its: present financial con- dition, but had lost sight of the fact that this condition was due to the ad- ministration of the town's affairs over a périod of years. "Why should the Township of Pickering and other municipalities be paralized with in- creased assessments because of Whit- by's past municipal sins?" he asked. Mr, Mawbray argued that the Com- mittee had not taken into considera- tion the fact that the Town of Whitby Secured back from the County each year a rebate of seventy-five per cent 'of the amount it had paid in on .the County road levies, nor had it con- sidered the fact that the County had contributed last year towards paving streets in the Town of Whitby. Mr. Mowbray stated that he did not object to the Township taking on some increased assessment, but he felt that there should' be a proper equalization throughont _the_ County. Reeve F. T. Rowe, Whitby, remind. ed "the Deputy-Reeve of Pickering, that the amount of rebate received by the Town of Whitby from the County was not seventy-five per cent. but fifty per cent, He also pointed out that the Town of Whithy did not have one foot of the County road system within the town limits, Reeve - William Parrott, of Reach, was asked by Deputy-Reeve Mowbray why he had recommended so large a cut in the Town of Whitby assess- ment. T ehreply was that the com- mittee had examined the assessor's return for 1935 and had taken into congideration fairly and squarely cer- tain facts with regards to the town's affairs disclosed to the committee. Mr. Parrott asked Mr. Mowbray if he could deny that since 1932 building permits to the value of three hundred thousand dollars had been erected in the Township of Pickering. Mr. Parrott championed teh cause of the Equalization Committee. Late in the afternoon the report was adopted as follows: Increases made-- Pickering oTwnship ......... $67,100 Whitby Township ........... , 6,260 Scott Township ....... pS 6,260 Brock Township 12,500 Uxbridge Township 7,286 Decreases made-- Whitby Town ............. $125,000 East. Whitby .............. 160,000 Port Perry ....covivennnees 7,286 ~The Town of Whitby pays one-tenth of all county expenditure to-day. After a large number of hospital bills had been read, Warden John M. Low, suggested the County appoint an inspector to visit indigent patients in hospitals for whose maintenance the County and.minor municipalities had to pay. The Warden viewed with alarm the mounting cost of keeping these indigents. A bill for $1956 was presented by the Children's Aid Society for main- tenace of county wards. Reeve William Parrott asked Coun- ty Solicitor R. D. Ruddy, for his opinion on the legality or ability of the County of Ontario to open a sep- arate account for the payment of grants for secondary school education so that a levy could be made for ft. AS it was now, money paid out for secondary education came out of the county general funds. Reeve Parrott was of the opinion that had a separate account been kept for these funds the county would not find itself in the tangle it now faces with respect to the payment or non-payment of school grants provided for by Statute.

If you think you'll win, you'll win; For out in this world you'll find It's all in the state of mind. a fellow's will-- d © From the standing shown elsewhere on this page, it will be evident to even the most casual reader that there is a real race for the capital awards. As a matter of fact, some of the leaders stand so close together -in the results sof ar, that the race may be said to-have more than one leader at this point, Someone in that group of leaders shown in to-day's standing will emerge on top of the field at the close of the big vote period and thus gain a commanding lead in the race for the Chevrolet. But who will it be? On the basis of the work so far it is quickly apparent that any of the first flight of candidates might well lead the field. And there may be a dark horse further down the list who 1s likely to be well up in the list by Monday morning. ' Present leads must increase their totals greatly this week or "fall by the wayside" in the race. It is a safe prediction that several million votes will be cast this week by the various candidates, and the candidate who finishes this week on top has a real job on his or her hands. DON'T RELY ON PROMISES NOW. The time is past when candidates can rely on promises to subscribe at a later date. It is getting much too late in the race and after this Satur- day:night each subscription will earn less votes than now. A one-year sub- scription, for example is worth 20,000 WM.

This Saturday night at 12 p.m. comes the climax of the big campaign. Of course the drive does not officially tlose then, but the BIG VOTE period of the campaign does close, and without question it is safe to say that the winners of the biggest and best awards will be among those who make the best showing this week. votes now and after Saturday night, a orie-year subscription is worth only 12,000. Inthe same proportion other items of subscriptions will earn less votes than after the close of the first period. ' | The crucial test of the drive s° just at} hand. If you intend winning one of "the major awards NOW IS THE TIME. Instead of being content with second, third, fourth or even fifth in the race, get on the top and stay there. RIGHT NOW, not later, is the time to do that. oo : The BIG VOTE period will end with the closing of the Star Office on Sat- urday nght. COUNT ON FACTS ONLY Just as a timely warning to candld- ates: do not try to figure out how many subscritpions it will take to win, or surely you will fail to get enough. As a matter of fact, it would be much better to win the prize you desire with a million votes too many than ta lose with a mere small number of subscriptions. Don't let this happen to you! You would never forgive yourself the fatal error. There will be no need for re- grets later on if you will but heed expert advice now back it up with real energetic effort, which will bring the required success. At any rate, Saturday night wil ltell the story fo a large extent. We can only help you by telling you how. You must sweet- en or embitter it yourself.
