For the 100 county pupils, the city receives a rebate supposed to represent 80 percent of the cost of educating one high school for ope year. Mr. Smith maintains that such is not the case. He points out that the County pays only for fhe actual days spent in school by its pupils. This means that while the city pays for the education of enrolled stu- dents whether they attend or not, and for holidays, the county pays only for actual days attended by each pupil. As a result, according to the school finance chairman, Oshawa is selling education to County pupils pot only 20 eprcent less than it costs, but at a rate probably much in excess of 20 percent. Mr. Smith also meets the argu- ment advanced by County citizens that they should not be asked to pay an eighty percent percapita share of the cost of high school buildings, by pointing out that school debentuges are issued for 20 years, and he asks where there is a high school in operation that was erected 30 years ago? The point of this query, he states, is that school buildings are temporary structures at best. Deben- charges should properly be comsidered merely as rental, not as a permanent capital investment. At the same time, Trustee Smith points out that Oshawa educationists have mo idea of barring County pupils either from Ontario or Dur- ham. All that they wish is to come to am equitable agreement jim the matter which ensure fair dealing both to city taxpayers and the good citizens of the counties concerned who send théir children here for higher education. Mr. Smith's efforts in this mat- ter have the backing of Chairman T. B. Mitchell of the Board of Education who, last year, was chairman of the special com- mittee which Mr, Smith now heads. 11 King Street East, Oshawa Above CPR. Office, Phone 144 8. F.

There were few people in the whole township of East Whitby who did not know John Howden, pioneer resident. Always an active man, he had many and diversified interests, one of the chief of which was the breeding of Shorthorn cattle for which he was noted in the district. For many years he was ppesident of the Ontario County Agricultural Society and a warden of St. John's Anglican { church at Port Whithy. In 828, iRchard Howden, father of John Howden emigrated from Ireland to Kast Whithy township and established what come to he knodwn as the Howden settlement John, born in 1842 remained on the homesteads for several years For some time he farmed in the township and his fine herds of Shorthorn cattle and his Clydesdale horses came to he well known and generally admired. He was an ac tice worker in the interests of the Conservative party and in 1884 his appointment as postmaster at Whit- hy was announced. Three years ago at the age of 82 he retired and was succeeded hy Mr. Gordon Whitfigld Deceased was a member of Com- posite Lodge AF. & AM.

F. Grierson, Crown Attorney of Ontario county whose resignation has been in the hands of Hon. W. H. Price, Attorney General, for several weeks. The Times today was unable to get in touch with Hon. Mr. Price who has recently returned from a holiday but it is generally believed that no appointment will be made until the Legislative Assembly con- venes in September. In the mean- time, at the request of the depart- ment Col. Grierson is continuing in office. In conversation with The Times Col. Grierson intimated that a pos- sible reason for his resignation was the fact that the Crown Attorney- ship in this county does not carry with it a subsantial remuneration. The duties of the office, it was pointed out, have hecome particular- ly heavy with resulting limitation of the time available for Col. Grier- gon's personal law practice. It is definitely stated that D.A.J. Swanson has heen offered the ap- pointment unofficially, but whether or not Mr. Swanson will accept is not known. At present he is away on a motor trip to Montreal and other eastern centres. It has heen rumoured, however, that he is not entirely averse to accepting the ap- pointment, should he he named. The name of J. A, McGibhon, sec- retary of the Liberal«{ Conservative Association of South Ontario has also heen mentioned in connection with the post. In a conversation with The Times today Mr. MeGibhon stated that he had not heen offered Harry is a lumber merchant in Phil- adelphia, Pa. Mrs. (Dr.) John Moore of Brooklin is a daughter. The funeral will he held row. Complete arrangements not yet heen made. tomors- have wn Attorneyship Should Go to North of Country the appointment and that he did not know what was being done in the matter. It is a fact that some members of the Liberal-Conservative Associ- ation of North Ontario are of the opinion that the appointment should €0 to a man in the northern section of the County and that the name of Mason Horton, Cannington lawyer has been mentioned in this conec- tion. The northerners point out that the last two Crown Attorneys for the county have been selected from the southern part of the county and they claim that this time a northern- er should be appointed. / Engagement Mr. and Mrs. 0.
