C. Jeffrey and Dr. T. E. Kaiser, ex-M.P. Thos. Sintzell Interview Railway Authorities. An Attempt is to be made to give More Satisfactory Train Service than that ordered by the Dies Suddenly Last Saturday, after dinner, Mr. Thos. Sintzell went for a walk. Ashe did not return, and it was getting dusk, a search was made for him, and he was found dead by Reeve Jonathan Alldred, about the same place where Mr. John MacGregor was taken with a seizure on the 2nd of February, 1930. "failure. .... Mr, Sintzell"s death was probably due to heart He was in his 84th year. Mr. Sintzell, who was of German extraction, was the former owner of Seven Mile Island. After he sold to the present owner, he and Mrs. Sintzell spent some years in California. Evidently Scugog- Island had an attraction for Mr. and Mrs. Sintzell, for some months ago they re- turned here, and bought the MacGregor property a little north of Centre Island. Deceased is survived by Mrs. Sintzell, four sons, and | two daughters. The Spirit of the West Toronto Globe To the Editor of the Globe: That the year 1930 has handed the people of the Prairie Provinces a round of more than started we got rain, rain, and more rain, finally ending in snow, with 16 below zero and the roads hard knocks is very app t. And we wonder, how they are standing up under it all. The women especially have suffered. How are they taking blocked with snow. Then one day we saw the old Indian sign, a rainbow in the north, and we've had fine weather ever since, almost. So all Railway Commission. In the early part of last week Mr. C. C. Jeffrey took a trip to Ottawa to see what could be done about our train service. He, like many other citizens, felt that the C.N.R. was not warranted in making the drastic cut in the railway service which they had proposed, and to which the Railway Commission had agreed. Consequent- ly he got in touch with Dr. T. E. Kaiser, ex-M.P.,, who went with him to Ottawa, and introduced him to the various railway authorities who could have power to consider the case in the light of the needs of the: people and the facts which Mr. Jeffrey was prepared to present. Mr. Bowen, M.P. for Northumber- land and Durham was also present fo represent the interests of the people} in the vicinity of Orono. He carried with him a petition signed by 1200 ratepayers urging action to be taken to secure: some better railway ac- commodation than that which had been ordered. So far as we can learn it is likely that Orono will have three trains-- Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Their system will probably be re- moved from the Whitby - Lindsay branch, and it is possible that there may be a lete re-arrang t of the routes and schedules, so that pos- sibly we may have a more extended route, with one mixed train from and methods of securing suitable train service would do well to communicate with Mr. C. C. Jeffrey. Our citizens should be grateful to Mr. Jeffrey and to Dr. Kaiser for their practical interest in trying to solve this serious problem. An interesting sidelight was thrown on this subject in the discussion with some of the officials at Ottawa. Very few agreements between the people and the Railways say anything about trains. One little place out West took the precaution to stipulate in their agreement that certain trains be run at stated periods. That district is retaining its trains in spite of the fact that the Railway wished to dis- continue the service. We shall wateh with interest the movements of the Canadian National Railway and the Railway Commission and trust that some permanent good may come from Mr. Jeffrey's trip to Ottawa. Some Facts We Should Consider The following figures show the comparative earnings of the Railway for six individual months in 1925-26 and the corresponding months in 1929- 30: Telegraph ........ 230 Total earnings Whitby to Manilla: Freight $37,686 Passenger 8,849 Express 5,107 Telegraph 862 1,056 Tota for branch line 64,821 50,163 It is better for the town to spend a little money now to try to retain the train service, than to save a little money now and lose far more later on in the value of property in Port Perry. Without any train service, the price of all property in Port Perry and the surrounding district would drop from.15% to 25%. There are hundreds of towns and villages in Ontario which have good train service, and very few would consider buying property in any town where there is no railway. If every citizen would use the rail- way a little more, our earnings would be equal to what they were in 1925- 26. Many do not realize the cost of running automobiles and sometimes it would be cheaper to travel by train than drive a car. The railway freight rates are very low on most articles, and even though it might cost us a few cents more to use the railway, it x is better for the town and for the| citizens in the end. K. J. Dunstan, Vice-President of the Bell Telephone C Just retired after 53 years In the service, ¥ Spans: Ma Within a few days of the announcement of Mr. Dunstan's retire. ment a lone telephone pole, relic of other days, was removed from Yonge Street at the corner of Front---the_ last pole on that busy thoroughfare from the waterfront to Hogs Hollow. Over 86 per cent, of all the city's telephone wires are now underground, and Toronto,' it should be remembered, is the best teleph d from the standpoint of homes of all the great cities of the world. As a striking evidence of changed conditions from the early days of Mr. Dunstan's career, it is recalled that the big 60-foot telephone poles that used to carry scores of open wire at one time cost in the neighborhood of $5.00! To-day they cost about $40.00. The picture shows upper Yonge Street as it was three decades P PORT PERRY DEFEATS . i while it will be wise to it?

GAME--3 to 2 from a relative of mine, the wife of a farmer in Central Alberta, who has been there a number of years, and I am led to' wonder if other women think and speak as she does. She peg¥ says, in part: Christmas cards are off (the list this year, but a letter will be better, anyway, I guess. Each year we keep hoping that we have come to the turn of the road, and this year has been full enough of disappoint- ments and mishaps to be the climax. We will still hope so, anyhow. We have had drought, winds that blew out the crop, hail, then too much rain, and more wind, frost, rust, and what not. Still we are all here, fairly well, and in spite of everything have some- thing of a.crop, though of poor grade and little value. Still, it is better than none. On July 7 we had the worst hailstorm I ever saw--cut the crop entirely, but one field; brqke windows, so that glass and hail were over the rooms on one side of the house; killed sixty chickens, destroy- ed gardens, small fruits, and so on. surprisingly, extra growing weather followed, and a second growth came on, and even ripened, though not good grade. Before the threshing was buildings, causing fires, etc. lifted off. There were twenty horses 'and a cow in the stable, none of which were hurt. On the next farm two horses were killed in the collapse. Our four men were in the field with 24 horses the time it hailed, and just had time to get into the barn, else it might have been more serious, as the hail- stones were like hickery nuts, and just covered the ground, so the horses would have just gone crazy. So, all in all, there seems much to be thank- ful for." Here is no grouch, no grumbling, no berating Providence, no self-pity, and no asking for pity. Blown out, rained out, hailed out, frozen out, but never a word about getting out. This woman stays right with the farm. She seems to have adopted Daniel Webster's philosophy: "Things are all right if they are getting better." Is that the spirit the women of the West are manifesting? If so, the country is safe for all time to come. ho W. H. Cline. Elmeroft, Grimsby Beach, Ont. The "Star" Robin. eb For some years past, the Toronto Globe has talked about the "Globe robin."

NZI HEY Sz RST III RA ENVIS! IGE ES 2 Heavy ice made hard sledding at the game here on Monday evening between Port Perry and Uxbridge In- termediate hockey teams. This was the second game this season between these rivals, and on both counts the score was in favor of Port Perry. At Uxbridge the score was 4-3; and on Monday evening, at Port Perry, the count was 3-2. Sleightholm made a pretty pass to Leight. MacGregor, who ran it up the ice, and landed the puck safely in the Uxbridge net. Of course Uxbridge got their dander up, and, before long, Willis got one past Deshane, and the score was tied. That was all in the first period. } When the players came back again, Crosby made a good play, and scored for Uxbridge, Then their was some furious going for a while, until Switzer tied the score 2-2. Switzer played a good game all through. The rest of the second period was slow. The ice was heavy, and the boys were tired. The bell was heard with a feeling of relief. The real battle began with the third period. Every+ body knew it was "do or die,"" and there were no dead ones. From first to last there was a lively tussle, and when, toward the end of the period, Raines scored the third goal, you can imagine the shout that went up from the Port Perry fans. Shortly after that time was called, and the home players were again victers. ; Port Perry--Goal, DeShane; de- fence, Raines and Naple; R. wing, Sleightholm; centre, Sleightholm; L. wing, MacGregor; subs, C.

There was a different story to tell at the Lindsay game last Friday. Our boys brought home a nice, big O. How they did it, or didn't do it, might be hard to explain; but those who were on the spot claim that Port lost by failing to cover up their goal during the first period. In that time Lindsay players scored three of the four goals. The fourth was considered to be a fluke: The puck was going well above the nets, when Deshane mada a jump to meet it. The puck struck him, fell into the net, and Council promised full support in the | December 1st of each year. ; : : Sod a ee Jade by Xx.
