BANQUET The 8S. 8. Room of the United Chruch was the scene of a very pleas- ant gathering last week. The occasion was the annual ban- quet of the W.M.S, and the young Women's Auxiliary, which was held on Wednesday evening, November 18. About. one -hundred members and their friends enjoyed the excellent supper provided. The guest speakers were introduced by the president, Mrs. Geo. Jackson. They were Mrs, Gee of Greenwood and Mrs. Boyes of Brooklin, Their ad- dresses were interesting and instruc- tive and contained much food for thought, : A piano duet was rendered by Mrs. Ted Jackson and Mrs, John Dowson, and Mrs. Wm.

The famous clause of the Millar will, giving $500,000 to productive motherhood, has been declared valid in a Judgment handed down Friday by Mr. Justice William Middleton. But more than likely, there will be a second round and probably a round three and a round four. For, while motherhood has been recognized, it still has to be de- termined what mother or mothers get the fortune. As counsel are not 'agreed as yet, His Lordships findings will, no doubt, be appealed by that group of people who, as next-of-kin to the late Charles Vance Millar, have sought on several gecasions to grasp the bachelor lawyer's pot of gold. La $1,200 of the long promised and long Antigipated Orillia scrip has been issued by the Relief Department. The scrip arrived in town last Thursday. It was delivered to the Royal Bank, which at once began the task of counting the 43,000 pieces. This was a formidable job. It took all the spare time of the bank staff up till mid-night on Tuesday. At times as many as six clerks were counting madly, The counting process will have to he gone over every time the scrip is re-issued or audited.

John C. Elliott, Postmaster- General. It was another-forward step in the Government's drive to restore business, already definitely on the upgrade, to normal. The trade of the country is to be faciliated by the service on the part of the Post Office Department equivalent to the services per- formed by other public utilities, such as the railways, telegraphs and telephone companies. . * J * » MINIMUM WAGE LAW FOR MEN A minimum wage law for men, one of the few in Canada, was put into operation in Alberta last week as the result of the Aber- hart Government proclaiming legislation passed-last April. ~ In a surprise move, the Government proclaimed the wage law, legislation formerly cutting interest on Provincial bonds to an average of 21% per cent. and announced the terms of five industrial codes. +7 The codes related to the wholesale business, barbers, photo- finishers, the automotive trade and Edmonton district bakers. The interest reduction legislation made no actual change. In- terest was cut last June by Order-in-Council from an average of 4.89 to 2.50 per cent." and the legislation merely validated the order. ~~: RE a : : Under the minimum wage law, a board of three will be ap- pointed to inquire into industries, set wage schedules and enforce regulations. It affects all industries except farm labor and do- mestic servants. "Alberta, like most Provinces, has had a mini- mum-wage law for women, but this is the first for men. ~The wholesgle code was the most important of the five. Its main object was'to prevent, except under justifiable circumstances, selling from a wholesaler to a consumer. An advisory board from the industry will be appointed to assist in enforcing the regu- 'lations. : ¢ a a 84 MILLIONS PAID IN INCOME TAXES Toronto with $28,627,767 led all districts in income tax col- lections for the first seven months of the current fiscal year, ac- cording to figures released by the Department of National Rev- enue.

This was greatly in excess of the estimated amount and constituted one tenth of the total road budget of the year, of $91,000. Council in committee of the whole discussed at, some length the whole question of gnow plowing and the pur- chase of adequate equipment to handle this work, which it was pointed out, is become more extensive every year on acocunt of the increasing public de- mand. The Committee in its report sub- mitted that after an examination of the existing equipment, it was found to be inadequate to render the de- mand service. The snow plow now used on the county's "Walter" truck was examined -by an expert from the factory where the plow was built, who advised that when the plow was rve- modelled from a tractor to a truck plow, the remodelling did not go far | County Council Council through which the Company could work when the erection of tele- phone poles was necessary on the county's roads and bridges. The by- law would facilitate the work of the Company in the erection of poles in cases of emergency, and it would then be unnecessary to consult the whole Council is this connection. Grant to Port Perry School Board Recommendation brought in on Sat- urday afternoon, in County Council by the Committee on Education that a grant of $1,000 be paid to the School Board of the village of Port Perry to meet "unforeseen and unexpected ex- penses in -connection with their school" was defeated after a' lengthy discussion when a motion to strike the recommendation from the report was carried by a substantial majority. During the discussion in committee of the whole reéent litigation in which the Village of Port Perry lost an ac- tion in Supreme Court to recover from the County of Ontario over $4,000 on account of educational grants alleged to be owing hy the county on account of education of county pupils over a enough. The plow, is was pointed out, could be installed on any standard | truck by the manufacturer at a cost of not more than $225, and this was recommended, tenders to be received! to operate the truck on a rental basis. | The purchase of a new plow was also recommended and agreed upon at al cost not to exceed $1076, and it will} be installed on the present truck sub- ject to the approval of the department of Highways. To further combat the blocking of roads by the snow it new snow fence, Road Expenditures The annual report of the County Road Superintendent David J. Kean, showed that between the first of Jan- uary and the first of November 3f this year the Road Committee had expend- dinary expenditures, such as snow plowing, a deficit was incurred, which will have to be levied for next year. The money expended benefittted all parts of the County and included for the, most part permanent work, in- cluding new retread and stabilized paving. Total expenditures on roads to date this year, amounted to $113,337.39, Children's Aid Society Mr. O. M.. Alger, superintendent ot the Children's Aid Socity, gave a com- prehensive review of 'uis wark during the year, a large part of the cost of which is met hy the Caunty, He stressed that the work had greatly in- creased in recent years, : Asks for Equipment A request from His Honour Judge D. B. Coleman for new furniture and equipment for his office was read. It was revealed that the office had al- ready been completely renovated and a new desk purchased. | A subsequent report recommended | purchase of six chairs, wardrobe and: some sundries. A chesterfield and rug were not recommended. The re- port of the committee was adopted, Honor Former Wardens. Two former wardens, Albert W. Jackson and James Reid, of Whitby, were asked to take a seat beside the warden and both addressed the coun- cil briefly. The High School Boards of Whithy and Port Perry made application for the usual statutory agricultural grant of $500, Rev. E Ralph Adye and Rev. Rus. sell O'Brien, addressed the Council re the matter of Sunday services con- ducted at the County Home hy local ministers. It was suggested that there services be put on a regular schedule and that Council made a grant to the Ministerial Association, This proposal was.later adopted and a payment of $26.00 per quarter auth- orized; but there was a strong protest by Reeve Johnston of Cannington He claimed that this service was a kindly mini- sterial opportunity. A proposal was made that the War- den of Ontario County be elected hy a secret ballot. The warden, John M. Lowe, appointed a ¢ommittee to con- sider the rules and regulations in the light of this proposal and bring in a report to Council. This plan was later adopted. The Council was asked by the Beli Telephone Company to. pass a by-law making the road superintednent or Engineer a party responsible to the "suant to the High Schools Act, section "which perhaps they were not in favor period of years, but uncollected through error by the Village Board of Education, was recalled, many of the members taking the view that the grant recommended to Port Perry was to helpimeet the costs of this litigation instead of aid toward the Board in meeting its ordinary educational ex- penses which is permissable under the High Schools Act, on a two-thirds vote of membera of the Council. The recommendation of the Com- mittee on Education which was elimi. nated from the report was as follows: "Whereas certain representations have have been made by the School Board of the Village of Port Perry which have been brought to the at- tention of the Committee, showing that they have met with unforseen and unexpected expenses in connection with their school, we your committee, recommend that on a two-thirds ma- jority vote of the members of this council, a by-law be prepared,- pur: 42, granting to Port Perry the sum of $1,000, and requiring the treasurer to include this sum in the general levy for 1987." Door Still Open While the motion to make the $1000 grant was defeated, the 'door was left open for Port Perry to make further representations te County Council in January if it so desires. Warden John Low suggested that the Board might bring before the Council a complete statement of its financial affairs showing that it was actually in need of the aid, which the Council is legally able to- give under the High Schools "Act." At the present time, the Warden said the Council had no statement showing the financial con- dition of the Board. Reeve W, M. Letcher, reeve of Port Perry, wha figured most prominently in the discussion, and finally offered to support the motion eliminating the recommendation for a grant from the report rather than have the members divided on it and vote for something of, did not intimate if the matter would again be brought befare the Council. Urged to Take Action Reeve W, M. Letcher, of Port Perry, told the Council that the School Board at the first of the year did not make any provision for law suits, but found itgelf in an unfartunate position at the end of the year, The Board, he opined, would not get away with any thousand dollars as a result of the court action. Reeve Letcher contend- ed that many members of the Council urged, Port Perry to go on with the court action, believing that it would clear up a situation which had existed for some years with respect to the payment of school grants. "We went on with the action and we lost", Reeve Letcher stated, adding that had the Board béen offered $1,000 some time ago, the action would never have gone to court. i The reeye of Port Perry told the Council that by a slight error the vil- lage Board of Education had been de- prived of $1381 for the year 1928, owing by the county for the education of county pupils in Port Perry High School. "We raised this amount from our ratepayers but the County never paid it back to us, and if it has not been paid out it should be still in the treasury", he declared, adding that even in the face of this, the Board was asking for much less than this amount (Continued on back page) SAMUEL FARMER, Editor and Publisher, SCHOOL DAYS BY ANNABELLE BAIRD SCHOOL DAYS Last Thursday 'afternoon found all those who were going to the Royal Winter Fair in high spirits, The two buses leaving here were filled to overflowing but this did not dampen the fun produced by singing and prac- ticing the school yell. At Whitby buses and cars gathered from Beaver- ton, Lindsay, Oshawa, Whitby and smaller places in the district. The procession was a mile long and colour- ful with the school colours and ban- ners. In Toronto the girls made their throats, and the ears of everyone else, sore with the school yell, » . * At the Fair the school in a body went to see the display of roses ana separated into groups which went to see objects of particular interest ta them. At seven o'clock everyone went to the evening performance. The parts that were particularly enjoyed were the "Musical Ride" and a tableau showing the development of trans- portation and the postal service in Canada. B - » * * No one can remember much of the trip home. The bus driver and Miss Harris were the only ones who did not add their unconscious voices to the medley. (Perhaps Miss 'Harris did.) Those who did appear at school the next day looked and acted rather the worse for the big day. Mi, Gemmell: your homework? ' Campbell McMaster: Wal, I figger this way.

Problems do not solve themselves or "come out all right in the end". no matter how much we let them alone, and do nothing about it all. - Distribution of surplus is the only method of planning against poverty; and the problem of the control of surpluses is the difficulty that has to be solved. One thing is sure--so long as pov- erty remains there should be no wast- ing of the necessities of life. Govern. ments would have ample warrant for expropriating such products as are needed for the "relief" of the one- tenth of our population now in greater or less degree deepndent upon publie support. Joseph saved Egypt by this method; and in modern days the West has been aided by a modification of the same process, * * -. 12] "At Home On Friday evening of last week a very pleasant time was spent in the Lodge rooms of Fidelity Lodge, A. F. and A. M., when the Officers and members entertained at their annual "At ' Home". A splendid program was given by Mrs. I. R. Bentley, Mrs. H. Honey, Dr. Rennie, Mr. H. Durkin, and Mr, Syd. Erskine of Whitby. Mrs. Durkin, Miss Ward and Mr. Frank Mann_accompanied the different num- bers at the piano. After the program the evening was spent in playing cards and dancing.

Humanity has spent much effort and ingenuity in trying to dodge the con- trol of their actions imposed by scales. Every person who gives leas than what is fair for value received is short weighting. Employers who pay too little, and employees who do too little; preachers who become prefessional and stifle costly love of humanity; writers who produce cheap tubbish; political representatives who are not real leaders---all these, are shorts weighting, Even this ittm would be we owe the idea to the Globe. chrysanthemums-and the horses, then' A * Show Mr. Kerr ssf short-weightng if it did not state that * & * 8, fod roe ve > gir og 1p Boss nts AT A EA
