i "FOR MAY 24TH Children Are Already In. vesting in Fireworks' --Other Plans (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, May 19. -- Evidence of the proximity of the 24th of May holiday is now being heard local- ly.. Several small boys about the fown have already made investi- ment in firecrackers and of course _they are not saving them but' are putting them to use as sundry ex- plosions heard today and yester- day will prove. Unlike the Chinese who cele- prate weddings, religious and eiv- le festivals with elaborate displays of fireworks, Canadians as a peo- oe observe really but one day, and that the birthday of good Queen Victoria, in this fashion. It is then that the heads of homes across the wide Dominion loosen the purse strings to purchase noisy firecrackers and allied con- traptions ranging from Roman candles to sky-rockets, Under the guise of interest for their child- ren Canadian fathers and big brothers delight in setting off all manner of fireworks ad are as much thrilled at watching a big sky-rocket soar into the darken- ed heavens leaving behind it a hissing trail of golden sparks as any ten-year-old youngster. The occasion rarely passes without come casualties and the list of Successful Six because victims gemerally includes mem- bers of the older generation as well as the younger. Theve always remains a danger to life and property in celebra- tion with fireworks on account of the gunpowder they contain and parents would be- well advised to warn their children so that the coming holiday may pass without unfortunate incidemt in Whitby.

TAGGERS ARE BUSY IN COUNTY TOWN Workers Out Bright and Early Today in Whitby (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, May 19. -- The Salva- tion Army Tag Day was held in Whitby all day today and a num- ber of taggers were seen upon the principal streets of the town. Few would begrudge the Army the price of a tag, realizing the great work of relief and service carried on by the organization all over the world both in Christian' and heathen countries. Even in a community this size which is particularly free of the extreme poverty and vice which is bred in the slums of the great cities the Army finds plenty of opportunity for its mission and renders much more service than the average citizen jrobably realizes.

CANADA, Phone 915 LIMITED HAHN Bowmanville -- MELBOURNE E. TURNER, tative TRAFFIC HAMPERED BY HEAVY FOG Putting Plot in Shape and Generally Improving Its Appearance (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, May 189, -- Prob- ably one of the thickest fogs known around this vicinity held up a large number of vehicles on the Kingston Highway last night. Several minor accidents resulted directly from the failure to be able to see more than a few feet in advance, The most peculiar part of the fog was that it clung to the high- er ground and hills. The valleys were practically clear from its density, Although the lights from the cars could make slow traffic safe, they were not sufficiently power- ful to pierce the heavy fog to a large degree, A suggestion is therefore in order. It is thought 'that a piece of cloth strung over the headlights would prove a blinder and the rays from the lights would be able to penetrate much further intg the dense fog. However, Bowmanville has am- ple protection at the accident trap near the bridge, in the form of two new mirror refectors which were recently installed, These replaced the old white ones which neverthless served their purpose. A car coming from either direce tion will be warned that a sharp curve is just ahead hy the effect of the headlights upon the new contraption on the right side of the road. This consists of a sev- eral sided mirror glass with a red glass covering it at the front, A light reflected upon it would make a red light sparkle, and appear if it was moving. It is much more proof against danger than the other guards. BIRDS KILLED AS RESULT OF FOG (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanyile, May 19.--Anoth- er result of the fog last night be- came Known today when a num- ber of dead bodies of the feather~ od migrants were picked up from the streets here. Although a large number lose their way every year through fogs and storms, this year will probably set the pre- cedent, The birds fly at a rapid rate, and windows, lighthouses, ey- en lights are the cause of the de- mise of many of them, Some are just stunned when they encounter a hard wall or obstruction, and fall to the ground, where they are tramped to death or fall prey to animals. It is a useless waste of the lives of the birds, but nothi.g can be done, so far as is known legitimately ,to prevent this mer- ciless slaughter. ' TAG DAY TODAY IN BOWMANVILLE (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, May 18. -- The Salvation Army Corps of Bowman- ville are, like other towns and cities, holding their tag day to- morrow. The company in this town wish to realize more than $150, such being the average amount collected on a day of this kind in Bowmanville.

W. R. Mother- well, Federal Minister of Agriculture, for the holding of a Dominion-wide beef cattle conference at Winnipeg on Jane 28-29. A year ago, in co- operation with the Department of Agriculture, a committee was ap- pointed by producers to inquire into the possibility of developing the domestic market. The report and recomemndations of this committee will be presented for discussion at the conference, it was said today. committee, the problems affecting Time Is Opportune As a result of the activities of the the beef industry have been widely discussed throughout the country dur- ing the past year. While it is admit- ted that, since the spring of 1927, the producers of beef cattle in Canada have enjoyed a profitable market, it is realized that this may prove to be only a temporary condition. In the past, this section of the live stock industry has. been subject to such extreme fluctuation in price levels that at times it has scemed almost doomed to extinction, As a result, there is a very general feeling, not only among = producers, but in the trade, that the present is an oppor- tune time to endeavor to establish the business upon a more secure foundation. It is hoped that a plan agreeable to producers, consumers and to the trade, providing for the grading of beef for the domestic market, will develop out of the discussion at the conference. With this accomplished it was said at the Agriculture De- partment, it should then be possible to relate export requirements to those of the home market, and to build a national production policy which all interests can get behind in promoting the breeding and finish- ing of acttle to suit these require- ments. Broad Representation In view of the many angles of the trade which are affected and of the importance of securing concerted ac- tion, representation at the conference is being arranged for on as broad a basis as possible. In addition to the various Provincial 'Departments of Agriculture and producers' organiza- tions in both Eastern and Western Candada, Canadian packers and retail merchants' associations are being in- vited to send delegates.

According to the Domimton Bu- reau of Statistics the average pro- duction of wheat over the five years 1922-26 in Manitoba was 17.5 bushels to the acre, in Saskatche- wan 17.3 bushels to the acre and fn Alberts 17.2 bushels to the acre. The average values per bushel in the same period were respectively $1.00, 97¢ amd 94c, making the respective returns per acre from wheat for the three provinces $17.50, $16.78 and $36. ® Commenting on the use of the barvester-thresher or "combine" in Saskatchewan the International Hawvester Co, states that during 1924 and 19256 representatives con- cluded the general use of this ma- chine for harvesting grain crops In Western Canada was thoroughly practicable. Im 1926 a number of machines were sold there and ex- cellent testimonials were received from purchasers. In 1927 there was a greatly increased sale due to the showing, and results even under the unfavorable conditions prevail. ing that season were strikingly suc. cessful. Over 600 new families arriving ia Canada this year with limited ca- pital can be looked after and settled advantageously in Alberta by the various provincial agents of the Canada Colonization Association, according to reports submitted by various representatives at the an- pual Alberta convention just com cluded at Calgary. The objective first set was 400 families, but a survey showed that at least 200 more settlements could be made, T. 0. F. Herzer, manager of the association, reported that during the past three years 486 families had been settled in Alberta on 122.- 926 acres of land, of which 18) were settled last year, Hundreds of people were our guests at NCTE Announcement LEW V.

No detailed report of the flight was made public by the Italia command- er, but it was learned that the air voyage, the first over that part of the world, had done much to con- firm facts and explode fallacies of human knowledge of those northern wastes lying between this archipelago and Lenin Land to the east, Although the tired crew was rest- ing tonight, plans were alrcady in making for another flight in about five days, probably to the vicinity of the North Pole. The staff which re- mained here took over the dirigible as soon as it had bee. placed in its hangar today to thoroughly overhaul it i. anticipation of this most im- portant venture of the expedition, From early morning until late at pight "Hills & Dales" was the mecca of crowds of. interested sightseers, They came as our guests, not to purchase nor even to talk purchase, but to see for themselves the beauty of this splendid new community.
