The Dominion-wide campaign against travelling carnivals was the result of publie opinion be- ing thoroughly aroused by what one press commentator referred to as **these roving caravans of panderers and swindlers, that live off the gul- Mability of honest citizens," and which were particularly numerous during 1919 and 1920, Because of that ban there were no carnivals admitted 40 Oshawa last year, : The Brantford Chamber of Com- merce has been one of the organi- gations which has formed the spear- head of the attack on carnivals in Canada, A few months ago this or- ganigation sent out a circular letter, $n which it was stated that they had letters from 400 city officials, Chambers of Commerce and other organizations from as many cities in the United States, which proved car- nivals were being chased out of every self-respecting town and city in that country. « "Many cities in the United States have civic ordin- ances absolutely prohibiting these travelling carnivals from showing within their limits. They are even forbidden to enter certain entire states," declares the Brantford or- ganization. Park Board allow all the concessions to be placed in the Park property proper, and not across the road? Or if it is a good thing for the town, why is not the carnival admitted to Alexandra Park, as have been carni- vals in the past? 3 The Brantford Chamber of Com- merge makes the suggestion in the circular referred to in the foregoing that the councils of townships sur- rounding the town be asked to co- operate by adopting by-laws against the issuing of: licenses to carnivals, Such co-operation is a matter of mut. ual protection, Council will meet again. on Monday night, and it might very well appoint a committee to take the question up with East Whitby Council with a view to pre- venting further carnivals in future tting licenses enabling them to camp on Oshawa's doorstep. In view of the decision of a former council, this year's council might very properly take the matter up with the Park Board also, in an offort Lo ge- cure assistance from that quarter in tightening up restrictiohs against this species of entertainment, COST OF GOVERNMENT wi OSHAWA, A BIT O' VERSE THE OLD CHURCH BELL I love the music of the birds, the drowsy hum of bees, The whispering of the evening wind that plays among the trees; But thé music that's most dear to me--more dear than words can tell, Is the music--sweet and solemn-- of the old church bell, 1 heard-its tones im sunny youth when all the world was gay, When not a care from morn till night e'er fell across my way; When childhood's fancy led me thru / vale and mossy dell, I loved its music calling me----the old church bell, Once more in fancy, I recall the dear old village school, I hear the hum of voices planning out the golden rule; The drowsy hour of noon is near, when hark! what breaks the spell 0, joy of joys! the welcome sound!

The municipalities here have to show the Minister of Railways at Ottawa that they want Sir Adam Beck to give back the option and the Dom- inion government to electrify the lines. Town Clerk Jackson of Whithy thought that Mr. Mason was wrong in his contention regarding the se- curing of the option. Sir Adam Beck had gone to Ottawa to get this option in order to block another pro- position in this district. As a citi- zen he wanted the delegates to know why the people opposed the option now when they favored it years He thought the people would themselves in an unfavor- by repudiating an option taken up after being sup- the electorate.

T. R. branch lines between Toronto and Port Hope if electrified, of which we approve and which has been strongly urged at different times by the counties and the municipalities in the past." This resolution was passed with- out any discussion, Deputy Reeve Frank Mason then moved an amendment to the first motion which had been brought for- ward and which was tabled. He moved that the following clause be added to the first motion, 'Provided our requests in the resolution moved by H. L. Quinn and seconded by F. H, Richardson are granted." Mayor Stacey again said he did not think this road will be practical. It would be a very roundabout way from Port Hope to Toronto when there are direct steam lines. The Toronto terminal, he stated, would be in a disadvantag®us position. He steadfastly opposed repudiating the option, but Reeve Baker of Darling- ton mentioned that the vote taken years ago in favor of the option, was of no effect now. Reeve Richardson pointed out that the terminal facil- ities in Toronto would give the line all possibilities for speed. Upon the first resolution being submitted to the meeting, with the clause added it was passed. The following resolution was then put to the meeting and adopted with little discussion.

Along the same lines were reso- lutions adopted by the fourth annual meeting of the Western Ontario United Boards of Trade and Cham- bers of Commerce held at Woodstock on January 19 and 20 of this year. One of these resolutions was to the Provincial Government and the other to the Dominion Government.

Municipal (Continued from page 1) in this proposition no money is be- ing asked for. Reeve Baker of Darlington point- ed out how one living in Bowman- ville can go to Toronto and return the same day at present but if one lives at the next station east he cannot get back till the mext day. Reeve Baker stated that he has al- ways been opposed to the Toronto Eastern for many reasons, one of these being that he didn't think Sir Adam Beck could run a railway although he was all right in supply- ing light and power to some muni- cipalities. To support his conten- tion Mr. Baker stated if Sir Adam Beck couldn't make money frem his farm during the war he doubted if he could make the Toronto Eastern Railway pay. As for the electrifi- ing was one which would give these people radial transportation, and it would also give radial facilities to other sections. In their scheme ot} hydro development Sir Adam Beck | and the city of Toronto are working only west and. north, stated Mr.| Richardson. He declared that the government is going to pursue its| policy of co-ordination and wanted to know if Mayor Stacey wanted to see some of the railways east of To-| ronto, closed. { Work Separately. { Mayor Quinn, of Bowmanville, | stated that this section would only | get a radial line by going after it itself. Toronto and this district do| not seem able to work as partners in| this matter. Mr. Quinn stated that) he believed that a steam railway had | to go about forty miles out from a centre before it could make money on freight and passenger traffiic. I | was in this forty mile area outside] of Toronto that this radial scheme would be realized. In this way the] radials would not be killing the traf-| fic over the steam roads in this area. In reply to a question of Deputy Reeve J. V. Hill, of Oshawa, as to whether or not the government would stand for duplication such as would exist from North Oshawa to Tyrone and Oshawa to Bowmanville, Warden Richardson stated that he thought the government would not object. The northern line was needed to serve Darlington, Orono and Port Hope. Dr. Farew of East Whitby did not see why the meeting should favor the repudiation of the option, which the municipalities now hold. Mayor Stacey said that he could no: see that the proposed route was prac- tical. His Worship didn't see why the option had to be dropped. Reeve Crocker didn't see how the option could help them any. Deputy Reeve Mason stated that Sir Adam Beck had secured an op- tion on this road on the advice of a meeting such as this, which advice cation of the C. N.
