These days were spent in the delivering of addresses on the theme of peace, and during the coming year and up to September when the League meets again, there will be a conference each two weeks to carry out the work of this and previous years. One thing that was stressed was the necessity of confidence among the nations of Europe. They were living from day to day with no guarantee of security from their fellows of other powers and until sufficient confidence in a perpetual peace could be establish- ed there could be little result from the disarmament plan. Miss Macphail dwelt mostly on her personal impressions of the men who ruled, or led, the League. Premier Ramsay Macdonald, former Premier Briand of France, Lord Robert Cecil, Sir George Foster, all received warm commendation for their work along peace lines. though Miss Macphail handed the latter a rather leftâ€"handed compliment when she stated that it was disappointing that Canada had not as yet sent any outstanding personality to represent her at the annual confer- responsibility.” said Miss Macphail, “and we all should do our best to create a public opinion that will banish war; if our minds are on world peace we can Miss Macphail’s remarks were not so much a technical address on what had been accomplished at the conference in Geneva last fall as her personal im- pressions of what the result would be and her summing up of the calibre of the men who composed the League. From a small beginning this movement for world peace, at first slated for fail- ure. had developed until last year there were present from the various world powers no less than eight prime ministers and 20 ministers. Fifty- three nations were represented and so much importance was attached to the deliberations that hundreds of news- papermen from all over the world at- tended at all the sessions. The creation of a strong public opin~ ion, and as well the creation of a feehng of security among the nations of Europe was, in brief and summing up of Miss A. (C.

In the meantime any of us have the privilege of thinking. but as almost anything can happen it will be rather hard to tell what may be doing or what the outcome may be, A special meeting 01 the Town Coun- cil was held Tuesday morning in Mayor Murdock’s office to clean up some of the threads of the paving con- tract and get the details worked out now that they were fresh in the mem- ory of the Council. There is at present a diflerence between the Council and the company over the construction of tho curbing on Garafraxa and Lamb- According to present indications tions there will in all likelihood be an election in Durham to select the 1930 representatives on the Council Board. So far the only positive assurance that there will be an election comes from those seeking the position at the head of the table. 0. 8. Hunter, a former member of the Council, has told The Chronicle definitely that he will be a contestant for the mayoralty, and as last year’s chief executive. Mayor Mur- dock. has also thrown his hat into the ring there will be a contest for this one position at least. In the Aldermanic field there is con- siderable uncertainty as to what will happen. The Chronicle has interview- ed nearly all the members of last year’s Council and all are definitely in the field with the exception of Counncillor': Noble and McLean. These latter had. nothing for publication and would neither affirm nor deny that they would be candidates. The only member we failed to see was B. Stoneouse. but we have been assured positively that he is in the field and will run if there is an election. So far as: we can make out there are two partie': with widely divergent opin- ions in the town this year. One ele- ment thinks that the Council of last year should be sent back and allowed to finish up their work. while another element thinks they have been there long enough. The paving programme seems to have been the present Coun- cil’s Nemesis with some. while others are quite frank that the 1929 Council did very well a". they had a hard year before them and came through in fairly good condition .‘ â€" v.-- ‘U There will likely be quite a lively time at the nominations next Monday night and patrons of this annual affair should witness a good. show this year. It is said that there is to be a veritable Met in Mayor’s Office Tuesday to Clean Up Pavement Business and Attend Other Business. For the Reeveship, we learn that there will most certainly be opposition for Reeve Bell, but who it is to be we have been unable to learn. At one stage the name of W. J. McFadden. formerly on the Council was coupled with the position, but in talking to this newspaper the latter has said that he is not in the field. But there is going to be a candidate, we were told just a': positively. At the present time this is as matters: stand. There can be no prophesying. and unti'. next Tuesday night when the qualifications have to be filed with the Clerk. anything: may happen. TOWN COUNCIL HELD SPECIAL SESSION ton streets which has not been cleared up and one of the engineers is to be in town the end of the week to take the matter up with the Council.

In addition several ladies are accompanying their husbands on the trip. “On Tuesday night the team was en- tertained by members or the various clubs of Greater Vancouver at a smok- ing concert at the Hotel Georgia, which proved to be a splendid get-together gathering. On behalf of lawn bowlers in British Columbia. Judge Form ex- tended best wishes for a pleasant jour- ney, a successful tour in the sister Do- minions and a safe return to Canada. “He assured his hearers that they were going as ambassadors of Canada to their brothers “down under” to furâ€" ther cement the ties which bind the great British Empire together, and even it they did not win a game they would try to act in a manner which would bring credit to the fair name of Canada. Dr. Krupp pointed out that this is the first Canadian team to visit New Zealand and. Australia. and he hoped they would “blaze the trail". to use a western expression. for future tours. He also mentioned that it was six years ago since a Canadian bowling team went abroad. and on that occas~ ion Englnd, Ireland Scotland and Wales were visited three members of the present team being on that trip. ‘Dr Weston Krupp of Woodstock. captain of the Canadian team, thanked his fellow bowlers of BC. on behalf of his party for the wonderful welcome and hospitality extended during their short stay in the city. “R. N. Killins of Dunville. J. B. Heuther of Guelph and J. F. Burnett or Balmy Beach, treasurer of the team. also expressed their appreciation of the courtesies of the Vancouver bowlers. The evening was spent in fraternizing and community singing, while several musical selections rounded out a plea- sans programme." It will be a wonderful trip for most of the party and. barring storms. they will find the Pacific smooth almost as: a ballroom floor. The party is due to arrive at Auckland on the 30th. and at the time this issue of The Chronicle is published. they will be in the vicin- ity of the Fijis. It is qute possible that the Christmas dinner may be partaken of in the harbor of Suva. the capital of the group. which has been a British possesion for years. was. formerly one Hula» of the “cannibal” group, and which was discovered. by Tasman in 1643. When the party left for the West the full. itinerary had not been arranged. Since then definite arrangements have been made for a visit to Tasmania as: well. as New Zealand and Australia. and it goes without saying that these repre- sentative bowlers of Canada are in for the time of their lives before they pack their club bags for the return trip about the first of April. THE COPPER MINING Statistics of the production of copper in Canada date only from 1886.

We cannot vouch for the statement, but we do say that the past month. has been at least a notable one.

The street car service in Toronto was. demoralized and. it is said. it will. cost the city $100,- 000 to remove the snow from its streets. A heavy fall of sleet played havoc with the telephone and hydro service in the southern part of the province, the worst sufferer being the Niagara district. Grey and Bruce counties and the greater part of this section has been tied up so far as motor cars were con- cerned for the past month or so. but as we in the snow belt look for this there was little excitement and business went along pretty much as usual until porés- 6f éfiéw and cold wéather.
