JOHN'S CHURCH Watch Night Service Will | Be Held in Church New Year's Eve St. John's Anglican Church was filled to capacity last evening when the annual Christmas carol service was held. The choir sang some ex- ceptionally fine numbers, and the congregation was asked to join in the singing of the carols. "Glory to God in the Highest," and the solo, "0 Little Town of Beth- lehem," by Migs Jane Mason, were sung to the evident enjoyment of the congregation, The duet by Master Arthur Culley and Miss Mason was perhaps the most heau- titul and effective selection of the service Most the old earols lsarned in were sung and congre joined in the ser. vice of pra with the choir.

ANOTHER QUIET WEEK IN BOWMANVILLE For the second week in succes- "Ision Bowmanville has been very quiet and nothing has been re- ported in police circles.

The Durham TWextiles which ¢losed down some weeks ago, re-opened and then closed dain, giving the town the most ac- ute unemployment problem in years. Construction work is at a stand-still and it is not likely that anything will be started in this line until spring, Just where those that are out of work now will find work before them is hard to tell and no doubt it: will be one of the first duties of the new council to inquire into the matter and en- deavor to provide work with some of the minor improvements that have been requested and which could well be done in the winter season. - Invitations to Hollywood parties now read: Admit bearer and one hushand.--Sally O'Donnell, News, advertising - subscriptions will be received at thé Bowmanville Office of The Times.

William Gra- ham recently answered questions con cerning the plan for an international tariff truce which will be proposed at the League of Nations meeting in September, "The scheme is steadily going for- ward, It was considered last October by the league's economic committee, In November the committee's report was issued and at the end of January a preliminary conference meets at Geneva, Mr, Graham cxpressed hopefuluess that the leading coun- tries of Europe would be found most friendly towards the scheme, where it was first distrusted as a substitute for a United States of Europe. The idea which gave rise to that distrust was dispelled by the explanation that a breathing space would be provided to allow the idea to be explored on its merits, "The chief opponents of the plan are overseas lands anxious to "build artificial industries, Within the Em- pire objections are heard from Aus- tralia, South Africa and India in all of which the tax imposing authority favors increasing protection, With this attitude we cannot quarrel as they and the Dominions generally have fiscal autonomy and are entitled to use it, But they have. no hold upon the action of Great Britain, for, we too, have fiscal Yfouomy and have as much right to uSe it as they have. "We agree that the Imperial as- pects of the matter should be consid- ered, but we cannot afford to let them paralyze us.
