North Simcoe, Cedar- dale and Ritson schools each hadi a 93 per cent, attendance, Centre school ra'ed 91 per cent.,, King street 89 per cent and Mary street 87 per cent, Named Moderator Montreal --Rev., James G Potter was appointed moderator of the Montreal Presbytery of the Presby- terian Church in Canada at a meet- ing of the presbytery here yesterday.

Except for light local showers in Ontario, the weather has been fair, and is becoming mild throughout the Dominion, accord- ing to this morning's weather re- port. The barometrical pressure is high over the Great Lakes, which would auger fair weather, although an area of low pressure that has been centred over Colora- do is moving north-eastward and may still have a bit of "kick" left when it gets up here. The forecast today {is mostly fair, with perhaps occasional local showers, accompanied by local showers, acompanied by fresh southeast to east winds. The new arrangement of hours at the Collegiate Institute, where- by some of the pupils have to get up and get to school by eight o'clock is requiring some gecting used to, we are told. Yesterday morning little Willie, a first form- er, was ten minutes late. 'reacher wasn't in particularly good humor herself, having had to arise an yhour ahead of her usual time, so she took little Willie to task rath- "Why are you late?" "Please, ma'am," when I started from home." "Then why didn't you start earli- er?" "Please, ma'am, it was too late to start early." The recent item that the Ontario Regimen: was preparing for fits spring training season, brings to mind a story of a recruit in the Great War who was being wearily drilled in rifle practice. The ser- geant approached him and bawled "I told yer ter take a fine sight. Don't yer know what a fine sight is by now?" "Yes," said the ex- asperated recruit, "I reckon I do. It's a very big liner, crammed full of sergeants, unequipped with wireless, and sinking rapidly in mid-ocean." Fair and mild. ICE JAM FORMS AT PICKERING CREEK An fce jam has formed at the ercek at Pickering, motorists in- formed The Times this afternoon, and a} two o'clock the water was level with the highway, It was still rising, and the probabilities were that it would be several inches over the road level by nightfall, The creek west of Whitby was also rising rapidly near the highway, an ice jam having formed and dammed the water back. .

He thereby qualified for the Provincial finals to be +held in Massey Hall, 'Toronto, early in May. Three judges handed fn individ- ual decisions resulting in a tie, but a consultation awarded te vietory to Dryden over the representative of Millbrook Continuation School. Mr. Davidson of Cobourg Collegi- ate, presented the cup to the win- ner and it now becomes the prop- erty of the O.C.L for the ensuing year. John Dryden is the son of W. A. Dryden of Brooklin. - Last year he represented Broklin Continua- tion school jin the same contest and was runner-up for first place. Two weeks ago he won the O.C.I. oratorical contest and for those who heard his excellent speech, "Canada Among the Nations," then it is not hard to understand his vietory in Cobourg. At least 12,000000,000 tons of high- est grade iron ore are in Brazil, ac- cording to a recent estimate. NEGOTIATIONS IN GM. DISAGREEMENT ARE CONTINUING CONCILIATION OFFI. CERS CONFER WITH TWO PARTIES Effort is Being Made to Have Dismissed Men Reinstated With M, S. Campbell, chief con- ciliation officer of the Department of Labor and R, A. Grigg, director of the Employment Service of Canada, both of Ottawa, in the city conduct- ing "negotiations between General Motors of Canada and a committee of the striking tool and die makers, an effort at conciliation was contin- uing today, The strikers, about twenty in num- ber, were dismissed by General Mot- ors following the walkout last week, and an effort is being made to have them re-employed and certain griev- ances, which they claim to have, re- medied, It is also understood that the union here is endeavouring to bring into the negotiations certain other grievances regarding alleged = "dis- criminations" between employes, but both of the conciliating officers were non-commital in duscissing the affair, The conciliation officers might be in the city for another day or two, . | said Mr. Rigg, although if negotia- tions should come to a definite turn during the afternoon, they might be able to reach a settlement and leave the city tonight. Neither the union officials nor H. A. Brown, vice-presi- dent of General Motors of Canada had any further comment to make when questioned by The Times after noon today. It was stated bv T, T Dowling, secretary of the International Auto- mobile Workers Union, last night, that he understood that two German workers who had struck with the or- iginal bunch of men had been taken back on the the night staff, staff.

A revision of the public school tea- chers' salary schedule that would place lady teachers on virtually the same salary basis as male teachers, will be considered by the manage- ment committee of the Oshawa Board of Education, The request came from the Lady Teachers' Association of the city and asked that the initial salary and the annual increases of the salary sche- dule for women be raised to conform to the figures in force for male tea- chers, Before referring it to the commit tee, the Board of Education discus sed it briefly Monday night, and op- inions were expressed by several tru- stees that it would be difficult to raise the schedule and keep it on a flat rate basis, Teachers should be paid according to the service rend- ered, said one trustee. and women who are filling in two or three years at teaching until they were married should not be given equal salaries with teachers who had made the pro- fession their life's work and were putting their energy into it. At the present time, although the basis of salaries was low, a clause in the sche- dule, adopted by the Board some years ago allowed for a wage higher than the stipulated one, to be paid to worthy teachers. The question will be considered by the management com- mittee, which will report back to the Board, MASONS GATHERED FOR LAST MEETING INTHEIR OLD ROOMS Past Masters Executed De- gree Work at Lebanon Lodge Lebanon Masonic Lodge of Osh- awa met for the last time in their present quarters over ~Bassett's store at the night when the work was all exe- cuted by past masters of the lodge, Twenty five members of the Scot- tish Rite Masons - attended in a body and took part in the degrees exemplified by the masters, Stanley "Marshall, Worshipful Master of High Park Lodge of Tor- onto No, 531 was the guest speak- er.

J, Keillor McKay, K.C., of Aoronto, admitted that there was no case when it was re- vealed that Everitt Jackson, of Oshawa whoh ad paid two dollars to Bennett for a subscription to a magazine, suspected that the ac- cused man was not an sutnorized representative of the publishing company. Bennett's freedom was short-lived, however, as he was ar- rested immediately after he had stepped out of the prisoner's box by Chief Gunson of Whitby, on fn- structions from the provineial po- lice at London, Bennet was without counsel and attempted to conduct his own case, but Mr, Justice Rose had to come to the assistance of the court by questioning the witnesses on be- half of the accused, ' Charles Morris, circulation man- ager for the MacLean Publishing Company, of Toronto, gave evi- dence that Bennett had been em- ployed by the company in 1925, but that he had not been given authority to take subscriptions for any of the company's publications since that date, GRENFELL TO VISIT OSHAWA ON APRIL 8 Wil!
