True enough there are quite a few play- ers In town, but no attempt so far as we know has b~n made to or· ganlze a team. The chief Interest in sports in this. section appears -to be in the la- crosse game in the nearby village of Brooklin, quite a few fans from Whitby going out to see the games when they are played at the Com- munity Park there. Incidentally, the Brooklin team is making a good showing.

The Sunday evening trafJic was just about as heavy as · US\Ull, al- though it was notlcea.ble~.that- the traffic going west throUgh O&bawa thinned out before eleven o'clock. where on former S\inday.s ·. It was heavy until ·wen after midnight. The gasoline staUdna dlil a · thriv- Ing business here as well. u all over the province on Satlirday·atternoon and early evenlni.

Grants Dismissal On Wage Dispute Charged under the Master and servants Act with falling to pay v;ages due an employee. Mrs. Jen-· r.le Miles, George BOwler, East Whitby township, won a dismissal of the charge in Oshawa pollee court. In granting a dismissal, Magistrate C. F . Blck suggested that Bowler make some arrangement to pay Mrs. Miles for the work she had done. ¥n· ""Mlles &aid that she had started to work tor BOwler as a ho~Wkeeper on May 14, at a salary of $18 per month, payable $9 each fortnight. Mra. Mlles left her work July 11 without notice, although she Mid that she complained sev- eral times about the living condi- tions in the house. which were slvhig her rheumatism. Magistrate Blck decided that · "there Is no doubt that you were requ!Nd to slve a month's notice l:le_fore qultUng." J. P. Mangan, Jt:.o. acted for Bowler. Asked If he had power, under the Forest Resources Regulations Act, to compel full observance of cutting and other regulations, the Minister replied: "We hnve the authority fllld we Intend to enforce thm:e reg- ula tlons for the sake of the tourist business of the Province." In some of the high-graded areas he Inspected, tree tops with a butt sl7.e t-hat would require forty to !lfty years of growth to develop trees of a compllratlve sire, were left lying In brush heaps. "In vnrlous visits to the north," said Mr. Hipel, "the majority of 4;he operators expressed their desire to co-operate to the fnllest possible extent In making use of all the forest produds." Any belief whlc!l may be held that Ontario has an over-abund- ance of forest wealth is erroneous, said Mr. Hipel in explaining that the Department's policy Is to regard forest resources as a continuing crop for the dlspo.<~! of future gen- erations.
