Buck was named as candidate at a meeting held in the Labor Temple attended by 150 delegates from branches of the party established in eight of the nine city wards. The convention agreed to sup- port James Simpson if he contested the Mayoralty because he was a Laborite, but reserved the right to eriticize" him. Stewart Smith, announcing Communist support Aor Mr. Simpson, declard that Acting Mayor W. D.

Undiscovered possibilities in existing gold-producing areas in Northern Ontario hold greater potential wealth than the possibil- ity of new discoveries, asserted H. G. Rickaby, Provincial Geolo- gist, before the Engineering Institute of Canada. In reply to a question regarding the possibility of new gold strikes in virgin territory, Mr. Rickaby declared: "Prospectors have been in prac- tically every corner of Northern Ontario, but: there's still the pos- sibility of gold discoveries, especially in the Northwest. There is greater possibility, however, in the undiscovered potential - wealth of the old areas." Discoveries of oil were glso predicted. Controversy as to where the blame lay for numerous accidents to children on bicycles flared into a "telephone war" as charges and denials flowed into The Globe office as a sequel to Thursday's two fatal accidents in the Toronto district. "The man in an auto- mobile has no tolerance for a boy on a bicycle", it was charged by the secretary of one of the largest bicycle-manufacturing plants in Canada. "Every motorist knows who is to blame--with cyclists darting here and there, many times without lights, through traf- fie", W. Gilbert Robertson, General Manager of the Ontario Motor viday evening, The meeting opened _ said. League, countered. 'There are a few drivers who fall into the class mentioned by the bicycle man", Mr. Robertson admitted, "but the vast majority are extra careful whenever they see a child on a bicycle anywhere near them. "They have to be", it was ex- plained. '""Motorists have learned by experience to give the eyclist especially youngsters, a wide berth." Ts : : Canada cannot'save herself from isolation. She must stand or fall with the British Empire. This was the warning and the challenge delivered in stirring terms by Dr. Frank S. Morley, B.A, B.D., Ph.D., of St. Catharines, before the Empire Club. Dr. Mor- ley, who is a graduate of Edinburgh University, an authority on Constitutional History and author of "The Development of the -Commonwealth of Nations", pleaded with his audience for a real- ization of the gravity of the world situation and the necessity of pregerving British: civilization. "In the coming Armageddon"; declared Dr. Morley, "we must fight shoulder to shoulder or die alone. If we seek to play the coward's part, we shall lose our lives trying to save them." FL : a!

Purvis, Chairman of the National Employment Commission, anticipates will put more than $100,000,000 in circulation, is to go forward immediately, it was announced by Hon. Charles Dunning, Minister of Finance. In the United States a similar scheme has resulted, according to Mr. Purvis, in a work-and-wage_ program of nearly $2,000,000,000, and he estimates that Canada will bene- fit to the extent of one-tenth or one-fifteenth of that staggering sum. The Government has decided to go ahead with the pro- gram without waiting for the necessary legislation to be passed by parliament, in order that thousands of men may obtain em- wo Ai through the autumn and winter months, Mr. Dunning 2 * 8e A few hours a hero, today he is dead. Taking his life in his hands, Harvey Nicholson on Thursday flew his machine, under risky conditions, over the Georgian Bay in an effort to locate two Penetanguishene youths whose craft he had sighted in the turbu- lent waters, minus it occupants." When he arrived at the Barker Airport, where he was in service of the Murray Aeronautical Cor- poration as a commercial pilot, Nicholsoh was warmly congratu- lated for his plucky effort." A few hours later. a plane he had taken up crashed with a nose-dive into a field near Weston, and Nicholson was fatally injured, while his companion, Keith Berry, 79 Monarch Park Avenue, was badly injured.

Mahood from her prayer partner Rev, My, Turner, Pons' Inlet, Baffin's Land, and was read at the meeting. As the Government boat reaches there only once a year, Rev, Mr. Turner just receives his mail once 'a year, and as the boat only stays a short time, it isn't always possible to get all the mail answered and sent out on the return trip. The program which was in charge of Mrs, A, Rahm consisted of Com- th hymn, Scripture reading by Mrs. (Dr.) McArthur and prayer and W.A. Litany by the President.

AE AA FOOTBALL There was a, great game in Toronto last Saturday between Queen's and Varsity. ~ Rain, mud and scrabble seemed to be the prevailing features. The final results were '14-2 in favour of Varsity. How it all happened is still being argued, and the argument is generally a draw. But the score was 14-2 in favour of Varsity neverthe- less. $ Western, of London, defeated Mc- Gill of Montreal, with a score of 6-4. The game was played at Montreal. They had plenty of mud there, too. In fact, football players are beginning to be called "mudders". It is said that at.the end of some games you can't tell the teams apart; they are so thoroughly plastered with mud. Four teams in the Inter-provincial Union have all suffered defeat at some time this season--the Argos of To- ronto, Montreal, Hamilton, and Ot- tawa, --il * * * HORSE RACES touch on decisions as to winners in horse races, In the old days it was touch and go as to decisions when they were very close. Consider what happened Saturday at Dufferin Park, Toronto. Three horses came in ap- parently "dead heat", and there would have been much room for dispute in former days; but now a camera has been installed, and the racers release the shutter as they reach the line, so that instantaneously the exact posi- tion of the horses is shown. The Toronto Globe, which has lately changed management, has come out with a full sheet of race track results, = Modern science is putting a new; SELES OF ALL SORTS BASEBALL Oshawa Juniors won the. Ontario championship in a sudden death game with Windsor, the score being 4-2. This is the first time thgt Oshawa has won the Junior O.B,A.A. title.

New York Ameri- cans in Oshawa; New York Rangers in Winnipeg; and the Canadiens and Maroons at home in Montreal. " No word is yet given out as to Port Perry Hockey Club. We are hoping that this matter will be considered soon by those who in past years, have directed the sports of the town. It would bea fine idea to have a general meeting of all those interested to talk things over in friendly fashion. New York Americans have been taken over by the N. H. L. and will be financed by them until they can get another buyer. Philip Jeffrey, a former Varsity hockey player, is leaving for Berlin, where he will coach a German hockey team.

Ri PRINCE ALBERT/ The Seventieth Anniversary ser- vices of our church's opening-was ob- served on Sunday last. Both the afternoon and' evening services were fairly well attended. Rev. D. Stinson was the speaker and brought splendid messages of challenge and inspiration, The afternoon text was Psalm 34:3-- "O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together." The main thought in this text was that the Lord has entirely entrusted to us mortals who have heard and known the Gospel, the task of spreading it throughout the length and breadth of the earth," We are the only mes- sengers Christ has to disseminate His Light. The ovenfiiy sermon was from the 12th chapter of Romans. The Church was pictured as haying Jesus as its head and we the other members as its body. Bethesda -Male Quartette sang several beautiful hymns, The men's choir was also in the choir loft. About $83.00 was received for the Thank- Offering. : The League meeting. vas held as usual on Wednesday night. A Thanks- giving program was in charge of Miss Lillian Murphy.

Take a pair of scissors and start trim- ming the brim of the hat. Trim off strips about an inch wide until you reach the crown of the hat. Then trim them off about one-half an inch wide. By the time you have reached the top your hat will be well trimmed. P.S.--Don't try this method on a new hat. It is more suitable for last year's type, * ss Miss Spooner: "Why Kenneth, what did you bring that six foot spear for?" Ken. Lee--"I came prepared. You SAMUEL FARMER, Editor and Publisher.
