"Ladies' Night" at the Ma's Can- adian C4lub, which social function took place in tire Balmoral Hotel Thursday evening, poved a succes from every staudpoint. A choice and ddla'ctable c'hicken dinner, served genemously, enhanced ýby the company of a charming galaxy of ladies, coup- led witir a thought-provoking and dec-ply interasting address along a lina whieh threw a na-w ligirt on a national poble.m, "Immigration", by a speaker to whom it proved extrema- iy easy to listen, combined to make a pleasant and memnorairda avaning. The toast to "Tire King" was pro- posed by tire chairman, Rev. R. J. Sires, President of tire Canadian Club, who afterxvards called upon Mr. Fred W. Bowen, M. P., ta inti-oduca tire speaker, Senat-or Gideon Robert- son, a former Minister of Labor. NIr. Bowen spoke briefly on Senator Rob)- ertson's achievements as a trusted abitrator of labor poblems, sucir as tire impending railroad strike ia Win, nipeg la 1916. Senator Robertson took for his subjeet, "Immigration andI its Effect upon tIre Standards of Canadian Cit- izenship."

Senator Robertson predicted that Canadians, in future, will timk more seriously as ta tire wisdonr of an open door policy iii immigration. lu tire United States tirey hiave al- ready gradually curtailed tire flow of imrmigrants, until now oaly tirrea per- cent of tire pravious nunrier are al- lowed in. Thirsiras beau uecessary because tire machination of industry bas constautly decreascd tire volume of lahor- nceded until 'tira question of unmployment iras become more and more serious. Tire samne probleni is uow facing Canada, particuiarly as tire flow of Canadian youtb into U. S. wili ire stopped. Senator Robertson iufarmed iis audience that tire very day previous, Hou. Ciarles Stewart irad introduced a resolution to cancal tire flow of im- migrants, wieb tbe speaker believed, was a ver-y wise plan. Something muet ire doue to equalize the labor situation as thre people cannot main- tain tire standards of citizensirip witb- tut empioyment and tire puchasiug power necessary to worthwhiie living.

Smith, Enniskillen, wisb ta tihank their înany neighbors and friends for expressions of sympathy and beautiful floratl tri- butes in tlheir recent sad bereave- ment, aIso the doctors and nurses aï the Patients' Private Pavillon, Tor- onto. wretched in the extreme. In such a case the standards of citizenshir known in Ontario, are impossible, yet through no fault of tihe people them- selves. It is a basic fact, the speaker de- clared, that we can oniy progresss o far end so fast in quest of imigra- tion, or we will reap t.he whirhvind as they are doing in many cily dis- tricts in the United States to-day. The different natiorialities congregate together in one part of the city, wvhere vhey endeavour to perpetuate their own languages and customs. The samne situation exista in Western Canada, and the pioneers from the eastern provinces are beginning to object strenuously. Senator Robertson spoke at some lengtb on 'assisted immigration." He recounted a tale of the difficulties the United Empire Loyalists encount- ercd in reaching and pioneering in Canada. Most of our ancestors were uraseisted immigrants. The new immigrants from Europe have their passage guarenteed, are iooked after until they have settled. Some of themr are ke'pt until they are deported because they will not work. Since 1927, it iras been possible for a man and -his wife, with any number of cildren under 19 years to come from British Isies to Canada for the sum of four pounds, paid by the two gov- erriments. Thre Department of Im- mnigi-ation is under contract to look after and maintain them if necess.arv. If each child, at 21 years- of age, bas prox'cd industrious and loyal, the pro- vince i.s obiiged to loan him $2,500 ,o help him *start out for himscîf. Whtwould your son, or mine, ge,"asked thre speaker, "if he asked tiegovernnment for, $2.500 to set hlm Up) in Ihusine.s?" This condition is unfair to the Canadian bo Y vho .ýhoLld have at ]ea.st an equal opr- tunity wvith thre strangers. île be- lievel :bct thme-e froni other landls sh.iuld Porne as our forefathers ( id, nuàetng tireir own difficuities aad tirus proving theni.e'tveS Noi-tbwNhiie Ia the foreign sections in thre west , it :1. a didlicult problem for the'se younger provinces to provide schooil facilities and meet the cost of educa- tion. for without education and the teaching of the Eaglish language, the result wouid ire appalling. It is impossible for a girl teacher to live alone among these people. No man teacher can ire expected to wvithout a house of his own. So thre g -vera- ment must provide a house for the tcncher as weil as a school-house. The problemns of the future will be stili greater, the speaker predicted. There tire immense spaces in North- eru Canada whicb are et present an1 abso.iutely unknown counlry, but which, he asserted contairied more minerai riches than any other coun- try on carth, and tvill bud into a vast ar«ea of minerai developaient. It is ,up to the Canedian people not to per- mit an immigration policy which wil] fi11 thîs vast country with a promis- cuous rush of non-Englisir or French speaking people, but with intelligent, honest, God-fearing people with Can-, adian standards of citizenship. The spirituel welfare of these im- migrants is anoVhei question and if the magirificent work being done by churches of abl denorninations is to succeed, the pro'blem must be st:udied carefully. Ire closing, Senator Ro.bertson de- clared ühat it is the ambition of busi- ness men to people the country quick- !y for their own material prosperity but it is possible to progress too rap- idly as many Americans now believe that United States bas progressed. Rev. Geo. Mason moved a vote of thanks to the speaker who, in bis own inimitable way, had out of his tvidc experience givan bis, hearers 1 mnany thoughts which would ,be of real irelp to them. Mr. J1. H. H. Jury, speaking of tire new light Sen- ator Robertson had thrown on thre Immigration probiem, seconded the motion wiih Rev. R. J.

Very shortiy tihe large red truck tore out of its j stail and witb firemen clinging to its sides and on top of it screeched Ialong the streets to the main thoýr- ouglifare, where smoke was is-uing in great billows froTn A. W. Jacob's Bowmanville Bakery. The fire-eaters im.mediately leaped to action-,one line of hose was hooked up in re- markable time and wateir began pouring into the cellar of the bake- shop where the terrible elenient had begun its orgy. An'other string of hose began throwing stili more aqua pura on the snîole-V-nu fiames -,uuld be seen but the smoke a eric. This proved to be the greatest imped- iment in the cbecking and double- checking of thre excessive heat in the building. The building is constructed of brick veneer-with a wvooden shel and wben the fire, starting just above the ovens ate its way to the walis and then up the inside of the waii, there \vas no way of stopping its progrress except by tearing about haîf the pl1 ter from the inner part and po)ulring xater on the partitions. The smoke xvns so thick and so hard on th1ug that the attackers were unable to et neiar the plaster for some time. so the fire had quite a start. Finally when tIre basement was full of wate and the town criers had ail ha( tcir say as to just how the fire should he gone after, the smoke lessened and the firemen entered the buileing. The ;piaster -was tomn off and the water bad realiy found the fiantes. The fira wes quilte stubborn even then, but one fett reiieved and assur- ed that it was well under control. Dr. G. C. Bonn3mastle's office above the Bakery was aightly dazmaged by water and smoke, mostly anroke; and Jea'usaleirr Lodge was affected by tire fumiguton. AI] are covered by in- surance.
