_ MacDonald and Roosevelt Warn Hitler Makes Direct Appeal to Kings and Presidents of the World President Roosevelt shouted a warning on Tuesday to a world on the brink of chaos, that it should disarm and keep the peace. In an unprecedented message to the wvere'g)n heads of 54 nations, including viet Russia, the Presiâ€" dent asked them to discard ngfires- sive weapons and to pledge themâ€" selves not to invade the territory of a neighbor. C 1 The President warned, in diploâ€" matic hn‘fuage. that if any nation obstructed this program the blood :f ‘:he world would be upon its ead. United States President Through Tuesday‘s action Mr. Roosevelt hopes to guarantee the success of the World Disarmament and Economic Conferences. The President‘s dramatic stroke of state was directed at the danâ€" fie'ronb Francoâ€"German embroglio. is proposal of a nonâ€"aggression pact would grant both France and Germany new security. . Officials were hopeful that Mr. Roosevelt‘s message might calm the passion for rearmament now sweeping through Germany. _ 8 s Roosevelt Plan. 1.

ABOUT $40,000 BY NEW ACT gations Elmira Will Benefit and Hesâ€" peler Loses.â€"No Change In Waterloo. A recent change in the High School Act will save Waterloo Counâ€" ty possibly $50,000 or about one and oneâ€"half mills on the asseasment. The amendment to the Act proâ€" videe that hereafter every county will be liable for the cost of seconâ€" dary education of only those pupils residing in villages and towns of 1,200 and less population and in the townships of 4,000 and less. Waterâ€" loo county will pay the cost of only those pupile residing in Ayr, Woolâ€" wich townships and North Dumfries. ‘There are eight other municipalities all with populations larger than given in Act for townships, towns and villages. ~ ‘The cost of ali county pupile in the past attending high schools in other municipalities has been paid by the county. In 1932 the amounts paid by the county to various institutions for attendace of pupils were: K.â€"W. Colâ€" legiate $12,544, Galt Collegiate, $37,â€" 751, Gueiph Collegiate $147, Stratâ€" ford Board of Education $71.00. The new regulations mean that the larger villages and townships will pay cost formerly borne by the county. In the case of Elmira the situation will be clarified, as this town has its own high echool and in addition was paying county tax for cost of «econdary education of county puâ€" pils which of course was unfair. The new act does away with this unfairâ€" ness As far as Waterloo is concerned there will be no change as this town is joint owner of the K.â€"W. Colle giate and has been paid, cost of secâ€" ondary educations of its pupile, Hespeler will lose by the new reâ€" gulations as the county has paid for the secondary education of its puâ€" pils. In future Hespeler must bear the full cost. WATERLOO BREWERY MAKES BIG SHIPMENT OF BEER TO DETROIT Kuntz Brewery Completing Rush Orders And More Are T. O. Turner, manager of the Kuntz Brewery reports that a shipâ€" ment of two care comprising 1,400 came«s of beer were shipped to Deâ€" troit on Friday. Another order for 14,000 cases will go forward to the «ame des{ination probably this week. Mr. Turner intimated that the reâ€" cent legielation making beer and wine sale legal has materially helped Canadian breweries which are called upon to fill the demand for beer in the United States until the U. 8. breweriee can secure enough of the beverage of proper age. The orders were recelved desâ€" pite the high tariff of $2.25 a chse. The local brewery is rushed parâ€" ticularly the bottling room in order to complete orders on time. Other orders from other American cities are expected. UNCONSCIOUS 11 HOURS | FOLLOWING FALL Waterloo‘s popular park superinâ€" tendent, Geo.

To enlu{e their territory at the expense of a sister nation. 2. Because of fear of invasion. Mr. Roosevelt said he believed ‘"only a smiall minority of nations" plotted aggression and that mest countries armed because of fear. "There is justification for this fear," he admitted. "Modern weaâ€" pons of offence are vastly stronger than modern weapons of defence. Frontier forts, trenches, wire enâ€" taglements, coast defences â€" in a word, fixed fortifications â€"are no longer impregnable to the attack of war planes, heavy mobile artillery, land battleships called tanks, and poison gas. _ 2l CORONER‘s JURY PLACES BLAME FOR sCHUMACHER DEATH Township, Highway Department and Driver Responsible.â€"Sidewalk for Pedestrians Needed. A coroner‘s Jury under Dr. Oaks of Preston met at the Preston town hall on Friday and brought in a verâ€" dict blaming the driver of a car, W. Hilling, the township and the provâ€" ince. the former for not exercising proper care and, the others for neâ€" gllecting to make ‘the «fretch of voad from Preston to Galt safe for motor and pedestrian traffic: The verdict read as follows: "We the jury find that Joseph Schumacher met his death on the Galtâ€"Preston highway on the night of May $ through the negligence on the part of William Hilling driving a car through not using caution, and according to the evidence, had deâ€" fective brakes and we also figure that Joseph Schumacher was legally right in walking on the highway but morally wrong in not taking precauâ€" tion on a dark night. "We also feel that the Township Council of Waterloo is morally reâ€" sponsible for not having a eidewalk along the highway, knowing the haâ€" zardous condition of the side of the highway for pedestrians and we sugâ€" gest that the Township Council take immediate action. "We also feel that the Highway Department of Ontario whose attenâ€" tion ‘has been repeatedly called to the amount of traffic, should have taken every precaution to remedy this hazardous condition." WHY â€" BLAME TOWNSHIP? ASKS REEVE C.T. GROH Reeve C. T. Groh after reading the verdict of the jury re the death of Jos. Schumaker on the Galtâ€"Preston highway, stated he could not underâ€" stand why the township should be blamed. The road originally was a townehip road and later taken over by the county. Some time ago it was made a provincial road. It is up to the proper authoritiesto remove the railway track and widen the roadâ€" way and then the township council might consider constructing a sideâ€" walk along this much travelled thoroughfare, declared Mr. Groh.

Chancellor Adolf Hitler, in an imâ€" passioned speech before the Reichsâ€" tag at Berlin yesterday gratefully enâ€" dorsed President Roosevelt‘s plan tor relfeving the international crisis and promised coâ€"operation with Mr. Rosevelt‘s efforts. The chancellor agreed that withâ€" out solution of the disarmament problem â€" lasting economic reconâ€" struction is unthinkable. He particularly offered to refrain from any claims for instruments of aggreseion so long as other nations «crapped theire. In behalf of the entire nation, and ecpecially the young Nazi movement, he pledged that Germany would go me far as any nation in disarming, even to the extent of scrapping her whole military equipment provided other powers did the same. "There is but one great task beâ€" fore the world, namely, to secure the peace of the world," the chancelâ€" lor exclaimed amid the plaudits of his listeners. He denied that Germany contemâ€" plated an invasion of France or Poâ€" land. emphasizing that his nation is devoid of all instruments of aggresâ€" sion. SHEEP OWNERS CAUTIONED His â€" government, he . pledged, would proceed on me other path exâ€" cept that prescribed in the interâ€" national treaties, but he asserted that Germany would under no cirâ€" cumstances sign any paper which continued her disqualification. Should such effort, nevertheless, be made, he warned that Germany would withdraw from international conferences and from the League of Nations Farmers Should See Sheep Are Free from Ticks by Dipping. According to E. I. McLoughry, agâ€" ricultural representative for Waterâ€" loo County, farmers in this county are becoming more interested each year in the rasing of sheep. He wtates that sheep‘with their heavy coats are particularly susceptible to external paraeites, hence the pracâ€" tice of spring dipping which has been handed down from one generaâ€" tion of good sheepmen to another. Very few animals even on the best of farms come through the winter without acquiring some ticks. If alâ€" lowed to go unchecked eoon the whole flock becomes affected and the lambs particularly, make little headway. â€" The cost of dipping per head is negligible especially where the flock is large or community tanks have been installed. With the new conâ€" venient dips in powder form there is little bother and no uncertainty about having the solution at proper strength. Moreover, these dips purâ€" chased from reliable sources do the job completely in one operation. Once the wool is thoroughly saturâ€" ated they remain effective and thus exterminate any mites which may hatch later from eggs in the fleece at the time of dipping. â€" Dipping should be carried out during the first really warm weather following shearing and it is vitally important that every member of the flock from the oldest ram to the youngest lamb is put through the tank. The job should not be hurried and the fleece must be thoroughly eaturated. Other spring work among the flock will include docking and castâ€" rating of the lambs before they are a month old. Only by these two operations can the sheepmen hope to aecure anything like the best marâ€" ket price for hia lambe. With the new pincers these jobs are bloodiess and there is, therefore, no risk of infection. MENNONITE CHURCH LEADERS ATTENDING CONFERENCE IN PA.

Hannigan, secreâ€" tary of the Ontario Municipal Klecâ€" trict Association ‘p_*‘pulmc the Hydro | salary “k. Thlsed a etorm of controversy in the recent Legislature sessien. Chief Engineer Fred A. Gaby‘s s«lary, which poseibly precipitated more «peculation than any other during the Legislature, is revealed as $25,000, in 1926, as $31,694.90 in 1932, and as $24,726.22 in 1933. Both the 1932 and 1933 salaries for Mr. Gaby, Mr. Hannigan states, include payments of $5,000 for his manageâ€" ment of the Wahnipitae power proâ€" perties acquired by the Hydro severâ€" al years ago. Total Salary Payment According to Mr. Hannigan‘s stateâ€" ment, the full ealary payment for 17 officials, including the three commisâ€" eioners, ‘"in a $300,000,000 corporaâ€" tion" euch as he characterized Hyâ€" dro, was $191,733 in 1926, and $194,â€" 325.74, in 1932. The slight increase, he stated. was due to the heavy conâ€" atruction work engaged upon in 1928. The Hannigan announcement reâ€" veals that the salary of the Hydro chairman, in 1926 (C. G. Magrath) was $18,000. Last year, the first year of Hon. J. R. Cooke‘s chairmanship, the $18,000 fell to $15,595.04, and this year it is revealed as $13,781.02. The two commissionersâ€"now C. Al tred Maguire, viceâ€"chairman, and Rt. Hon. Arthur Meighen, will each draw $8,280.09 this year. . Last year, the commissioners were each paid $9,195.06. In 1926 their salaries were $8,000 apiece. 12: inâ€" crease in 1932 over 1926, Mr. naiâ€" gan explained, was attributable to the fact that the ealaries of cabinet ministers were raised, in 1930, from $5,000 to $10,000, and the Hydro Commission, as expected . of it, piaced net ranking. JOBLESS CUT OFF RELIEF LIST IN WATERLOO TP. Order in Effect May 15 for Summer and Fall Months. Commencing May 15th Waterloo township put into effects its no reâ€" l.ef order for the summer months. This action was taken because the townahip council believed the jobâ€" lees families could manage without help for the warm summer months during which time they could secure aufficient labor to provide food for children. There were 120 on relief but this is down to 90. Reeve Groh intimated that beâ€" cause Waterloo township is close to the towne of Galt, Preston, Hespeler and Kitchener it has more than its share of dependent families to care for. _ The township fathers doubtless will provide for any families who through no fault of their own are unable to p the summer BADEN MAN HAS NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH A well known Baden resident, Noah 8.

Nature and force of circumstance have conspired to put through such a plan at the London Economic Conâ€" ference in June, said the experts. â€" Some idea of the effect such an agreement would have on this counâ€" try may be obtained from the 1932 statistics, which show that the Unitâ€" ed States exported only about one seventh of her crop, while Canada sold abroad nearly oneâ€"half of her wheat, and Austria almost twoâ€" thirds.

The United States and other nations were then not in a position to agree to restrict either production or exports. â€" Bince then, experts said, such a program has been found to be imâ€" perative to the economic advantage of wheat exporting nations. Month of May Backward for Building and Few Permits Reports by the city engineers of Waterloo and Kitchener indicate there has been little activity in the building trades so far for the month of May. Engineer Claude Necker, said the total number of permits this month is about the same as for a similar period a year ago. Home owners in various parts of the town are making repaire and alterations to their homes which is keeping a goodâ€" ly number of men in the building trade busy. â€" Harry L. Guy, has completed plane for a modern home to be erected at the corner of John and Victoria Sts., the cost of the home, when completâ€" ed, will be in the neighborhood of $16,000. Kitchener Outiook In the city of Kitchener, Engineer Shupe reports no permit for new homes so far this month which is repetition for the same period last year. In May 1932 four house perâ€" mits were issued. Three garage perâ€" mits have been issued this month as compared to seven for the same period in 1932. Besides the civic garage which is being.erected the Supertest service station at Frederâ€" ick and Lancaster Sts., are erecting a substantial building. The Chronicle interviewed Mr. Ball of Ball Construction Co., Mr. A. E. Dunker of the Dunker Construcâ€" tion, Marvin H. Stroh and 8. Becker, all well know contractors. They all expressed the opinion that while the season has been slow in opening up indications â€" were for more acticity in the building line from now on. The cost of building since 1929 is down about thirty per cent and with the improved econoâ€" mic outlook it is quite likely that building costs will go upward. Thosa persons contemplating building new homes, garages, etc.,. will save money by completing their plans now and taking advantage of the present low cost.

WATERLOO WILL NOT PAY TWICE FOR INDIGENTS PATIENTS Representatives of County and K.â€"W. Hospital Correct Differences Regarding Charge for Indigents. As a result of an objection being made at the Waterloo County Counâ€" cll meenn? by Waterioo representaâ€" tives regafding the town of Waterâ€" loo paying twice for indigent paâ€" tients to the K.â€"W. hospital, the latâ€" ter institution will not bill the counâ€" ty for indigent patients sent from Waterloo. This matter was ironed out between representatives of the county and hospital officials. Waterloo with Kitchener are joint owners or operators of the Kâ€"W. hospital and it was considered not equitable for Waterloo to pay for upkeep of the hospital direct and also through the county council. The proposed meeting between a committee of the hospital and counâ€" ty counceil will not be held. TAXPAYERS‘ ASSOCIATION ELECT M. H.
