Health here and the'hoard is pre- . pared to co-operate with this move- © ment which so elosely concerns the © welfare of valuable dairying herds ' and, what is of primary importance, " the protection of the general nub- » lic health, Abortion among cattle "is tue cause of much: Tosg to. dairy men _ gs it destroys cows and gives rise 7 to the premature birth of calves. the dairying districts of Canada . have been on the whole, remark- ahly free from the disease hut in 4 tie southern United" States its rav- . ages have been great within the past few years. Drastic measures were: Ageided 'pony however, and now ithe isons ig being stamped out in these Sections while- whole counties are abertion-free, ¥are instances the disease is chimes ersong' delnking ttle milk of Ae har cattle. Sey- eral months ago it was definitely established ' that - 'contagious abor- tion had. .ocaused the death of a youth and young girl residing in the district. Forty cases were re- ported in the province during the year with a fairly bigh mortality rate. ... Much of the milk in South On- tario is shipped to Oshawa, Whithy and Toronto. Where Pasteuriza- tion is made the public is protected, but pasteurized milk is not secured in the smaller rural communities and on the farms, A meeting is being held in Brooklin tonight at which an ef- fort will be made to organize the dairyment to fight against the spread of the disease. Dr. J. W. Bell, deputy minister of health, Tor» onto, will be present and a delega~ tion is attending from the local Board of Health. Dr, Jas. Moore, of Broeklin, is behind the move- ment to stamp out abortion in this, one of the province's chief dairy- ing sections. PRESENT "THE CRUCIFIXION" AT PICKERING CHURCH Whitby, April - 25~The United Church choir under the direction of Arthur L. Lynde is presenting Stain- er's "The Crucifixion" at St, An= drew's United Church, Pickering, to- night. The choir has sung this fam- ous cantata here and also in Dun- barton. Frogs Croak "Springs Here" (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, April 25.--An infallible indication of spring was heard in Whitby last night when fregs be- gan to croak Bn happy chorus, The denizens of the swamps and other marshy places had remained in sleepy silence during the cold win- ter months and the variable March weather. Yesterday, however, they. seemed decided that the warm wea~ ther had come to stay and they swelled up with the happy fact, The young, slim frogs trilled in a high treble while the stout old-timers, veterans of many winters, joined n with a dignified and throaty ass. Few persons have not at one time or another watched a group of frogs in the midst of a singing per- formance, The reptiles, like a great many two-legged musicians insist upon absolute silence during the choruses and in case of spuo- tators' being too noisy they are li- able to take stage fright and quick- ly dive 'into the water, If one Is patient, however, they conduct themselves very reasonably, and n is soon seen that the singing is pro- dyced by a little pouch beneath the chin. which is inflated and then de- flated like a bag pipe. A long sus- tained note is the result after which the frog pauses gravely, notes the effect and then repeats the opera- tion. LOCAL DRUGGIST MOVES HIS STORE (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, April 25.--E, L. Odlum, promizent local druggist. has mov- ed his store to the stand formerly occupied by Lawler's grocery, on Broek street, one door south of the Dominion Bank, The new store has been re-modelled inside and out and has two splendid show windows facing the street.

Ltd. 9 Prince St. Phone 1160 y Whitby Office, Dundas Strout, § SUMMER TIME IS EFFECTIVE NEXT SUNDAY, APRIL 28 Householders Should Ad- vance Their Clocks One Hour Saturday Night (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, April 25--A proclamation calling upon all citizens to advance their clocks one hour at 1201 am. Sunday, April 28, has been issued by His Worship Mayor L. W. Dudley and posted in places where it may be read by all and sundry. The pro- clamation does not refer to the ad- vance in time as "Daylight Saving" but as "Summer Time." Although practically all residents of this fair community will cheer for the good old summer time when the term is used in its ordinary sense not all favor "Summer Time" when referring to altering their clocks. Some mothers complain that with the coming of the proclaimed "Summer Time" their children confuse it with the summer vacation and are loathe to leave their play at night and { settle down to' homework, The | juvenile population is of course heartily in favor of the plan as it seems to afford an extra hour o play at the end of the day. There are others who welcome daylight saving, including golfers, bowlers and tennis players, It is a difficult matter to rise carly in the morning to arrange a game of golf or tennis for one of the contracting parties is sure to sleep in and spol all plans. However when the clocks are ad- vanced and everything is performed an hour ahead of the usual time, there is an extra hour before twilight which can well be devoted to the exercise of a favorite sport, Daylight saving makes little dif- ference of course to such persons as farmers, milkmen and newspaper re- porters who in the performance of their duties awake with the first of dawn and retire with the bir s. Every hour of daylight is de- voted to some useful task and when night falls. they can join with Long- fellow in saying: "Something attempted, done, Has earned a night's repose." It would be difficult to state that reception daylight saving would re- ceive if the question were put to the polls. The scheme has its bitter enemies and its enthusiastic support- ers. None the less as long as Tor- onto and Oshawa continue to ad- 'vance their clocks year after year, Whitby must follow suit to aveid confusion, To those employed in the big cities it offers distinct advan- tages in allowing. the thousands of office and factory workers to get recreation in the cool of the day. IMPROVE STREETS SOUTH-WEST WARD Extensive Gravelling and Grading Operations Are Contemplated (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, April 25.--Extensive grading and gravelling operations are included in the town's street program this year, There are over forty miles of unpaved streets in- cluded in the municipal limits so the problem of maintaining them is by no means an easy one. It is planned to do considerable work with the tractor and grader in the south west section of the town so that residents of this dis. trict will be provided with an easy outlet to Brock street, All ge tions of the town will, of ¢ourse, be cared for and an endeavor will be made to keep the streets in good shape. Before the purchase of the new grader and tractor this wag als most impossible. a A BO A : What Others Say B20 OO THE FARM LAND SITUATION Referring to the situation in Whitby regarding the agitation for the annexation of the farms in the town to Whithy township, the Lindsay Post publishes the follow- ing interesting editorial comment: BACK TO THE COUNTY "A move that is being made in the town of Whitby is of cinsider- able interest.® Quite a large block of land there is likely to revert to the county since a group of farmer owners are determined that they will not stand for town assesment and would rather revert to the township' Such a move is, of course, the opposite of what is us- ually being done, but there is a certain amount of common sens® in it. There are many towns, which when incorporated, includ- ed too much land and now nnd that extra land burdensome "There is atown in Western Ontario, which for several years has been urging on the provincial government action tending to- wards help in paving two long stretches of land which are on the provincial highway and which while within the . town, is farm land. If this land had been out- side of the incorporated limits of the town, it would have been pav- something ed in the ordinary way, but be- DISCOUNT RATE OF GERMAN BANK 15 INCREASED (Continued from from Page 1) possible in order not to hamper German industry, was believed by some to have heen taken by the directors of the bank at the re- quest of the Dawes plan transfer Ship mirtes which met yesterday in aris It was considered as possibly re- lleving a situation brought on by heavy gold and currency exports and continued heavy domestic de- mands on the bank which had de- pleted its gold reserve. The rate of interest on advances was raised from 7.5 to 8.5 per cent. Gilbert Denies Blame Paris, April 25.--8. Parker Gil- bert, agent-general for reparations, in a statement today denied that either he or the Dawes plan trans- fer committee, with' whom he met yesterday, had expressed, an opin- jon to Dr. Hjalmar Schacht with reference to a raise in the Reichs- bank discount pate.' Mr. Gilbert's statement said: "The transfer 'committee' held its regular monthly meeting yes- terday. Contrary to reports which appeared in the press neither the committee nor its chairman has dent of the Reichsbank with re- expressed any opinion to the presi- spect to the discount rate of the Rejchsbank. "The committee authorized the usual monthly transfer on the re- paratiops account, (Signed) 8. Parker Gilbert." HARD FIGHTING IN MEXICO REVOLT (Continued from Page 1) progress in. Sonora, where cavalry and infantry columns ui prep fed- eral generals, Lazaro Cardenas, Ta- lamentes, and Jaime Carillo were engaged in a 'movement against re bels entrenched at Masafe. Pelayed despatches relating some delay in getting the movement under way relieved somewhat the Chapultepec Castle tension which had arisen when nothing was heard from the conflict. Towns Sacked Despatches to the Excelsior from Guadalajara sald the "Cristeres" had attacked five towns in widely scattered sections of Jalisco this week. Most of 'the attacks were repulsed by defending military un- its after some casualties, Cuyutlan was sacked; San Nico- las de Ibarra was sacked and a eivillan killed, and La Barca de- fended itself against the attack, as was also the case at Belen and Ti- erra Colorado. Rebels Surprised Nogales, Sonora, April 26.--Fev- erish activity marked the rebel camp at Agua Prieta today as re- ports reached the border that Gen. Juan Andreu Almazan had surpris- ed the rebels by moving part of his federal troops from Chihuahua in- to Sonora through Carretas Pass, north of Pulpito Pass, which the re-. bels were guarding, and was mass- ing his forces at Fronteras, 35 miles south of Agua Prieta, Rebels reported that they had met and turned back the federals atPulpito Pass yesterday, and they also claimed a victory by the rebel general, Fausto Tapete, over Fed- eral cavalry near Masiaea, Southern Sonora, but detalls ef both battles were lacking. Federals at San Luls and Sonoy- ta, western Sonora, announced they Expected an attack by the rehels to- ay. TERRIFIC STORM (Continued from Page 1) hayy damage to farm buildings and crops. Several persons were reported fissing as relief workers dug into debris. The wind struck heaviest at Slp- cum, a hamlet 'eighteen miles south of Palestine, where at ieast ten persons were klled and many injured by a tornado which blew up with little warning, cutting a swath half a mile wide and four miles ling. A tornado of lesser intensity swept over the Janes community, four miles north of Centre, near the Louisiana border, soon after the Slocu storm, . No lives were reported lost, but a woman was seriously injured and 75 residents were made homeless when homes were destroyed. Seachers believed the number of dead at Slocum would be increased to more than fifteen, The work of cause it is in the town limits, the town is responsible. "There is, of course, the other side of the picture. A town which, like Lindsay, is not sep- arated from the county, is paying road taxes for roads and bridges which may or may not be of value to the town and this is a condition that gets worse as the time goes on instead of better. In the case of Whitby, it seems to have been a' matter of readjusting assessment to provide necessary revenue and the farmer owners kicked at pay- ing the extra taxes." GOOD TURNOUT AT FOOTBALL PRACTICE (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, A 25<The first prac- tice of the Whitby Football Pi was held in the town park last night. There was a good turpout and from all indications the town is going to - and : peveral child; Charles Fay Turner, school rain," SWEEPS STATES searching debris went forward, residents were re- ported missing. * The dead: Mr. and Mrs, P. E, Mclver; Russell McIver, school | child; Mr, and Mrs. P, E. McDan- fel, Mrs. B. E. Kirkwood; R, W, and Marvin Kirkwood, sons of Mrs. Kirkwood; Mrs. Gatling, Nebraska Also Hit Omaha, Neb, April 25--Tornadoes, snow, hail and sleet raked Nebraska yesterday, causing heavy poperty damage and injuring at least two persons, While ' two tornadoes struck in Eastern Nebraska, the western sec- tion of the state was being swept by snow and rain, some sections cloudbursts occurred and at least two towns sufféred from flood waters. Heavy wet snow was driven by a 50 mile gale. Secretary Stimson says Canada's rate is temperate. In which it differs materially from the mission of the I'm Alone."--Toronto Tele- gram. FAVORS ENTRY. OF "UNITED.
