REPRESENTATIVE--JAMES H. ORMISTON COUNCILS TOLD THAT CR. LINE . 1S LOSING MONEY Train on Whitby-Lindsay Line May Be Cancelled A letter was read at the Town Council meeting, on Monday night from the Dominion Railway Board enclosing coples of statements fur- nished by Canadian National Rail way operating department offiel als, purporting to show that trains on the Whitby-Lindsay branch are being operated at loss. Last year's The letters from the Dominion Railway Board and statements of the Canadian National were taken by council to mean that it is the railway's intention to cancel the morning train which carries mail and p gers, the proposed can cellation being strongly protested some months ago by the town of Whitby, village of Port Perry and other interested municipalities, who were given a hearing at a sit- ting of the Railway Board heard in Whitby. In Whitby the Council had the co-operation of the Board of Education, because the train in questio brings dally to Whithy manv High School pupils, While council feel that it could not very well refute the financial statements furnished by the C.N. R. to the Railway Board, on mo- tion of Reeve Jackson, it instruct- ed the clerk to write to the Rafl- way Board pointing out that not- | on every branch line losing money, the country would soon be in a bad way for trausportation, In the meantime, it might be noted, the train under dispute is erating. If it is cancelled schoo! 'hildren will be hard hit, and the toard of Education will be obliged to devise some other means of ring them to Whitby, SUPREME COURT AT WHITBY ENDS SESSION TUESDAY Docket Quickly Disposed of Child; Marriage Is Annuled With all listed cases either heard, settled out of court or ad journed, the noun-jury sittings of the Bupréme Court, over which Mr. Justice Logie presided, ended Tuesday afternoon, after a two-day session. The docket, which look ed like a longthy one, was dispos- ed of quick order. In the case of Bakogeorge vs Shier, and the Ontario Store Fix ture Company, Toronto, .the evi. dence in which .was concluded Tuesday morning, Justice Logie dismissed plaintift's action with costs. The plaintiff. operator of the Olympia Candy Works, Osh awa brought action against de fendants for alleged faulty instal. withstanding the facts set forth that the Whitby Lindsay line is losing money, the Counell still hold to the view that the train should be operated for the con- venience and benefit of the travel- ling public, particularly the child ren of farmers who have to leave home to receive higher education. Reeve Jackson opined that if the rallways were to cancel trains LOCAL IMPROVE! ENTS 1.

Crossing to Open Dec. 9 Whitby Town Council will be represented at the official opening of the new bridge over the C.N.R. level crossing at Scarboro on Tues- day evening next. December 9th, when the Honorable George B, Henry, Minister of Highways and prospective premier, will officiate. The Council on Monday night de. cided to contribute $15 towards the cost of a banquet to tako place at Woods' Hotel,» West Hill, after the official opening ceremony fis over Mayor C. E, Bowman explained to the Council during a discussion that some time ago in conversation with the clerk of SBearboro town- ship, Mr. Annis, regarding the offi. cial opening of the bridge, he told him that if the township would take the initiative in this matter the Council of Whitby would be glad to co-operate, Coun, Fred T. Rowe opposed the expenditure of $15 by Whitby Council on the ground that it was unnecessary and unwise at a time when mon were out of work and | money was required for more use ful purposes. Mr. Rowe was not opposed to an official opening and Whitby's participation, but he felt that the town should not be put to any expense in the matter. He suggested that if members of the Council attended they pay their own way, This, he sald, was the proper thing to do. Mayor Bowman stated that when he was talking to the clerk of Scarboro he had no idea there would be any expense to the tows in connection with the bridge opening. The majority of the Council folt that inasmuch as the Mayor had promised Whitbhy's co-operation it would look cheap on Whitby's part if the $156 asked for was not giv. en, and also if Whitby was not represented. Council upheld the Mayor in his action, believing that His Worship had no idea of com- mitting the town to any expense when he was in conversation with Mr. Annis.

G. Howard Ferguson as Cans- dian High Commissioner in London brings to a close in a provincial sense, one of the most notable poli. tical careers in the history of Cana da and removes from the sphere of active politics one of the Dominion's most colorful figures. The loyalty Mr Ferguson was able to infuse into his followers and his own native ability, coupled with a wide knowledge of many phases of life in his native province, enabl- ed him to raise the Conservative party in the Ontario Legislature from a handful of members in op- position to a numerical strength never equalled before by any party. Although he fought many hard bat- ties and encountered bitter opposi- tion there are few of his political opponents who do not admire his success and wish him well in his new post, Mr, Ferguson is stepping out of the fleld of provincial politics on the tenth anniversary of his selection as leader of the Ontario Conservative party and seven years after his be- coming Prime Minister of the pro- vince, His rise to power since De- cember 2, 1920, when a Conserva- tive convention made him party leader has been a surprise to many, even in his own party. At that time the United Farmer Government under Premier E. C. Drury was in power and investiga- tion was being made into Mr. Fer- guson"s administration of the De- partment of Lands and Forests as a member of the Hearst Government. Mr. Ferguson declared the investi: gation was an attempt to discredit the Conservative party and sald he had enough ammunition to fight the Farmer Government. At the same time he made his famous predic- tion, "I will come through when the time comes and when I get through some of these fellows' hides will be on the fence.!" After the next elec. tion, in 1923, he was Prime Minis- ter. Staunch Su er A staunch believer in the British Empire, Mr, Ferguson has always been ready to challenge any step which in his opinion might lead to its disintegration. It is his firm convictions in this connection which have been partly responsible for his selection for the London post. It is understood many persons in Great Britain pressed Mr. Ferguson to accept Mr. Bennett's offer of the High Commissionership feeling his ability to get things done would be valuable at the present time. In well-formed circles it is sald Mr. Ferguson will be a leader in a movement which is under way to build up a greater feeling of unity among the different parts of the British Empire. Mr. Ferguson was literally eradl- ed in politics, His father, the late Dr. Charles Ferguson, of Kempt- ville, Ontario, was a member of the Dominion Parliament and a trusted friend and adviser of Sir John A MacDonald. Settling down in his home town as a lawyer, Mr, Fergu- was first elected to the Legislature in 1905. Sir Willlam Hearst took him into the Government in 1914 as Minister of Lands and Forests and he was one of few Cabinet ministers to survive the election of 1919 which sent the Conservative party down to defeat, Two notable measures of Mr. Ferguson's regime as Prime Minis ter were the enactment of govern ment control of the sale of liquor and the repeal of "Regulation 17" which placed restrictions on the use of the French language in the schools of Ontario. Both measures brought eriticlsm, but on both fs- sues he received the endorsation of the people at general elections. To his wife Mr. Ferguson gives credit for much of his success, Many important d ons affecting his career came aftér a long discus. sion in the Ferguson household, Mrs, Ferguson, before her mare riage, was Ella Cumming, of uck- ingham, Que. She accompanied her husband on many of his came paign tours. Her unassuming and charming manner will make her universally popular as Canada's of. ficial hostess in London, MINERY' LEADERS SEEK TO PREVENT GENERAL STRIKE (Continued from page 1) throughout the coal flelds of Great Britain, "Scotland cannot be laft alone in the struggle," sald A.

Another disquieting fact was that delegates from Ayrshire, where the men have continued at work; promised to endeavor to bring the miners in their area in line with the strikers. The next important step in the situstion as a whole is expected Thursdsy when a conference of na- tional union delegates meets in London. At the Glasgow mecting "it was voted to place the position of. the Scottish miners before the conference, "The national conference on Thursday," said Cook, "must de- cide whether Scotland is to remain out or make a settlement." He expressed the opinlon that before a national general strike could be called a vote would have to be taken of all mine workers in the British coal fields. DR. ECKENER TO GIVE EVIDENCE ATR-101 INQUIRY (Continued from: page 1) Eckener and escorted him to a seat almost immediately beneath a suspended model of the stricken dirigible. He paid a tribute to the Graf Zeppelin's master in his opening remarks, referring to him as "the very distinguished German authority" who had becn at pains to read the whole of the R.10t evidence taken at previous sessions. "He is prepared," Sir John sald. "to give us any help which is In his power inf analysing possible ex- planations of the disaster." Sir John sald that some addl- tional facts bearing on the disai- tor would first be presented and some technical testimony heard. Then, if time remains, Dr. Eckener will give his testimony. If not, he will testify tomorrow. Bolleltor General, Sir R. Stat. ford Cripps announced that he was satisfied now that every possible document bearing on the ecatast- rophe .had been placed before the commission.
