Sinclair, Leader of the Liberal Party in On- tario Legislature, made the prediction that Ontario would have a Provincial general election before October of the present year. "I can say this without fear of contradition," said Mr. Sinclair, "knowing that Premier Ferguson will not deny it." "The Government prefers not to take any chances of having a deficit in 1929. It does not want to wait for an election until an adequate trial has been given the Liquor Control Act, and does not want to take any chances of having to increase taxation before going to the people," Mr. Sinclair said. Not Considered, Says Premier The question of holding a Provincial election before October of this year has not been considered by the Gov: ernment, Premier Ferguson said, in a statement last night. "I am so ac- customed to having the Opposition Press and the Opposition Leader set- tle. matters of policy and forecast events for me that I do not like to interfere with the pastime." -- (SO reins THE LATE JOHN BRADLEY The late John Bradley, who died at his home January 26th, 1929, wus born in Whitby Township, 81 years ago.

HYP HIGH SCHOOL NOTES On January 22nd, the boys of the hockey team played Oshawa at the Whitby arena. The boys all played good hockey, but not being accustomed to such a big sheet of ice they were defeated 4-0. For a time it looked almost as if we were out of it, but whein Bowmanville defeated Oshawa 3-1, we saw that our only chance was to defeat Bowmanville in turn. The game was played on Saturday 26th, on our own ice. The boys were all determined to win and went into the game with the real P. P. H. 8. spirit. In the first period there was a peculiar play when Bowmanville scored themselves. Another goal was also on the ladies do not stay home for a little thing like that.
