INTEREST FOR WHITBY IN IRONOREBOUNTY ¥, Howard Annes Addresses Council on the Subject By Staff Reporter) Whitby, Sept, 7.--At the recent meeting of the council, upon tne suggestion of F. Howard Annes, a resolution was forwarded to Pre- mier Ferguson commending his in- tended policy of the government paying a dollar per unit as a boun- ty on iron and steel manufacturea from Canadian ore, in Canada. Mr. Ferguson recently promised this in a speech to iron manufacturers and mine owners in Sault Ste. Marie and it is expected that a boumy of this kind would promote a great industry in Ontario, and add to the prosperity of the Province. Mr. Annes went into considerable detail in drawing the attention our the council to the fact that at vue time over three-quarter of a mil- lion tons of iron ore was trans- ported over the Whitby, Port Perry and Lindsay railroad from a mine in Haliburton county, to be shipped from Whitby harbor to Oswego and that this was discontinued when great deposits were found in the States. It is Mr. Annes' conten- tion that this mine has almost in- exhaustible quantities of ore. Whitby Advantages It was further pointed out by Mr. Annes that Whitby has several advantages which would make it a favorable place for the establish- ment «of iron smelters and rolling mills. In the first place electricity which is used extensively in the new process of smelting can be , supplied to Whitby at a cheap rate from the Gatineau. Coal, the sec- ond important factor, will be ship- ped into Whitby harbor on comple- tion of the Welland canal at a fig- ure considerably cheaper than that at which it is now available. In the third place, it was point- ed out to the council, that a great tract of land close to the water front would be needed and would amount to probably two or three hundred acres. As this land would not be available in Toronto at a reasonable figure, Mr. Annes con- tended that hundreds of acres were available close to the harbor in Whitby and with its proximity to Toronto and the mines, Whitby would prove an ideal location for the establishment of an industry of this nature.

LANDSLIDES UNEARTH BIG GOLD DEPOSITS Auckland, New Zealand, Sept. 6.-- The terrible landslides in the Ma- takitaki valley, in the South Island of New Zealand, caused by earth- quakes and leaving death and de- struction in their wake, have one re- deeming feature in that they appear to have unearthed valuable gold de- posits. Large nuggets have been found, and ohn Spencer, geologist of the Matakitaki Dredging Com- pany, says that a thorough search of a split that has appeared in the ridge of the valley may reveal un- told wealth. With the momentary danger of being engulfed in vast masses of tottering earth and trees, only the most venturesome have sought the golden prizes. Precautions have been taken to keep back fool-hardy and unauthorized persons from risking their lives for the lure of gold. El. house: usands Now Fo! PREY A Delightiyl Braskiant Food. | !

PROHIBITIONISTS ELECTION DRIVE Will Lend Support to Any Candidate Pledged to Temperance Toronto, Sept. 7.--A prohibi- tionist drive, with the object of electing to the provincial legisla- ture members who are "temper- ance men" definitely, was an- nounced yesterday. The Ontario Prohibition union, at an executive meeting in Toronto, laid plans for the fortification of their pol« fcy and prepared for an offensive move in the event of a provincial election. : The movement, notwithstanding a complete independence from any party, will not constitute the formatibn of an additional party. This was made clear last night in statements from Isaders of the union, W. E. N. Sinclair, leader of the Liberal party, also stated that there was no reason to believe that the Liberals would take any steps to sponsor the prohibition- ists "I have received no communica- tion from them, and I haven't thought of the matter. As far as I am concerned, the union will be independent." id D. D. McTavish, treasurer of the union, dispelled any idea that his association might take to the field on their own, He agreed with Mr. Sinclair's statement that the Lib- eral party would not sponsor their actions. "We are not going to be another of those 'third' parties." He made that plain, and continued to ex- press personally the attitude of the union. . "We don't care whether a man is Liberal or Conservative or U.F. O.; as long as he is a temperance man we are going to back him," stated Mr. McTavish.

BONHANVILLE FAR NEXT WEEK LIKELY 10 BE BEST EVER MANY NEW FEATURES ADDED TO THE PROGRAM Fair Will Be Held Friday and Saturday of Next Week (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, Sept. 7.--A week from last night what is hoped will be Bowmanvjlle's greatest fair will be in full swing. A record crowd is expected partly because of the ex- tra prizes listed and partly for the fact that the price of admission is lower this year than in any previ- ous year. The directors have nam- ed this "Expansion Year," for the fair, which is held under the aus- '| pices of the West Durham Agricul- tural Society. Plans never attempt- ed before are added to the program this year and will help to make it the greatest fair in the history of the Society. Among the features of this year's program is an old- time fiddlers' contest, with fifteen dollars in prizes, which will take place on the Friday night of the fair. On the same day there will be a children's musical contest with $45 in prize money. This is open to schools in Bowmanville, New- castle, Clarke and Darlington. There must be at least ten or more pupils in each entry and entries must be in the hands of the secre- tary before noon on the day of the contest. The Oshawa Regimental Band will play selections in tne evening of the first day and also Saturday afternoon, from 12.30 on- wards. Saturday the Big Day Of course, Saturday is the ban- ner day of the fair and citizens are advised to be on hand for the many attractions that this day will offer. There will be a horse shoe pitch- ing contest with $20 in prizes and the ten-year-old wonder of the shoe slinging world, Roy McLauxu- lin will be on hand to do his stuff. A junior farmers' section will be run for the first time, sponsored by the Rotary Club which is sup- plying the prizes for the 5 classes in the section, which are livestock, poultry, potatoes, fruit, and grain, and awards amounting to nearly one hundred dollars. Dominion Shorthorn Breeders are giving $40 in prizes to owners of young cattle in a competition to encourage breeding and registration of the breed. Horse Races What is expected to draw the biggest crowd will be horge racing on Saturday afternoon with over three hundred dollars in prize money and some of the finest horses in the country are enterea. One member of the society explains things in this manner. A fair is just what the people of any com- munity make it. Fairs do not run themselves. A successful fair al- ways has behind it a lot of deter- mined effort. Some one must take the responsibility of managing and directing it. In the sixty years that Bowmanville Fair has been in ex- istence it has been fortunate un having many of the most capable and public spirited citizens of ine town and nearby centres on its ui- rectorate, It has on the whole had the hearty support of the commun- ity in general. But no business can live on its past, neither can any public affair. The unselfish and loyal support of the citizens of the district that is served by the fair is necessary every succeeding year. Otherwise it cannot continue to ex- ist. Bowmanville Fair has won a proud distinction in past years and there is no reason why this can- not be maintained. It all depends on the continued loyal support of the people of Durham County. So turn out in your hundreds or thou- sands and attend Bowmanville's greatest agricultural and industrial exhibtion. TRANSPORT TRUCK RAN INTO DITCH Driver Received Minor In- juries and Was Taken to Hospital : (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, Sept. 7.--~A man named Mathews, is in Bowmanville hospital as the result of an acc dent that took place about two miles east of this town yesterday, when a large transport truck rua off the road at a curve and wds badly smashed. The truck carried a load of butter and fly-tox, a con- siderable amount of which was a total waste. The wreck was towed to the west end garage and the driver, who received a nasty hip wound, was taken to the hospital. Dr. Storey who was called to at- tend to the injured man stated that the wound was not serious and he expected that the patient would be able to go home in two or three days. How the accident occurreu is unknown, but it is thought than the steering gear failed to act. News, advertising and subscriptions will be received at the Bowmanville Office of The Times. Telephones--Office, 587; ORK STARTED ON ROAD LEADING TO TRAINING SCHOOL Will Provide Employment for Number of Local Men (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, Sept. 7.--Canning corn is now being drawn to the local canning factory and more men are now employed there. The girls are expected to start on Mon- day next when there will be suf- ficient corn in to warrant their steady employment for a consid- erable time, Bowmanville, Sept. 6.--The work on the road leading to the Boys' Training School has now commenced and it is expected that this will also provide work for a number of local men. The last few weeks have seen quite a lot of men out of Work in the town and it is hoped that this work will engage the majority of these. It has been very noticeable thig year the amount of outside labor that has been used on the construction jobs in the ¢own, The stipulation of a certain amount of local labor being used should be specified in the contracts let by the town and this would save the town a great deal in the way of having to buy coal and supplies to the needy in the winter time, If there is more paving to be done in the town the proper authorities should see that residents should be wcll represent- ed on the pay rolls of the com- panies doing the work, LOCAL WOMAN WON MANY PRIZES AT EXHIBITION Mrs. Joe Davis, Ontario St., Was Very Successful Exhibitor (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, Sept, 7.--Mrs. Joe Davis, of Ontario St., town, has a record for which she can well be proud. For the past three years, Mrs. Davis has exhibited at the ex- hibition in Toronto and each year has increased her prize winnings. This year up to the time of writing she has been awarded seven prizes in the domestic science department in the Women's Building, and is expecting a lot more when the fina: awards are known. Her awards up to date are: 1st, canned straw- berries; 1st, black currant vinegar; 3rd, strawberry jam; 3rd, mustard pickle; 3rd, canned peaches; ana in the needlework section she re- ceived 2nd Irish crochet; 2nd, cro- chet yoke and honorable mention on two pieces of lace work, That surely is a record to be proud ot and yet The Times had difficulty to get Mrs. Davis to talk of her work, but after a lot of persuasion she showed the reporter some of hes needlework. Being no judge of this kind of work, it would appear to be impossible to do by hand, and yet Mrs. Davis says that it 1s easy, One thing in particular tuat drew comment was an Irish centre piece which in the intricate mak- ing must have needed the patience of Job. The Times congratulates Mrs, Davis on her fine showing in the biggest show of its kind in the world and would advise readers to see her work which will be on show both at the Oshawa and Bowmuu- ville fairs. GOODYEARS WIN FIRST OF FINALS Defeated Whiz Team by 9 to 2 in Interesting Game (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, Sept. 7.--When the Goodyear get started it seems hard to hold them back. They won their third successive game from the Whiz in the finals of the town softball league here last night. This was the first game of five, which are being held to de- cide the championship and the Goodyears came out at the' long end of a 9 to 2 score. The game started at fifteen minutes to seven to enable them to play the full 9 innings and a real snappy game was the result. Although the Whiz team were the losers, they played a fine game and it was the smart Goodyear fielding that was the cause of their downfall, There was some heavy hitting and several times the ball crossed the bound- ary and the batter tool, the two bases that is the reward for these heavy hits. The both teams play- ed some nice ball and the game did not have a dull moment. Only one home run was scored and that by Jackman (Goodyear), who took advantage of a miss in the field and completed the diamond with- out a stop. Mr. Earl Cunningham of the Boys' Training school, act- ed the part of umpire and was f apsisted on: the bases by Frank Williams and Bill Crossey. Only one decision of the umpires was questioned and the players abided by that decision. The second game of the finals will take place on 'Tuesday evening of next week and a large crowd is expehted to wit- ness the game, If the Goodyear win the next two games, the whole five will not be played, but the Whiz are confident that they can stage a comeback. ; Whiz--Corden, 1b; Geo.

There were three deaths during the same period, one less than in August 1928. Cupid also showed an increase of sixty per cent on his score sheet win five marriages this last month, against three for the correspond- ing thirty-one days last year. There are not many people in the town know just what he population is from year to year and so by cour- tesy of Mr. John Lyle, the veteran town clerk of Bowmanville, the Times was allowed to peep inside the assessment role. It was found that the town was not going back- wards as some people imagined, byt was steadily creeping ahead. There is an increase in population of thirty-two over last year and the present population is 3,662. Of course, that is not a great:increase and at any rate it would take one hundred years to double the pres- ent population.
