S. Dickson, veterin- ry and food inspector reported to the Board of Health last night. This was accepted by the board as an indication that the producers are ex- ercising great care in the cooling and proper handling of milk before it is delivered to local dairies. In a with the operation of the dairy farms Dr. Dickinson reported e health of the animals | in the different dairy herds through- out the district has been maintained at a splendid standard. A very creditable showing is made." Much is also being done to main- tain dairy farm sanitation at a high level as Dr. Dickinson points out "During the past month, two trucks, fly equipped for whitewashing dairy barns have been operating in our" district. The whitewashing machines on these trucks are oper- ated under plenty of pressure, so that the handlers of the machines have mo trouble in making the buildings on the dairy farms clean and sanitary throughout." Local dairies have also improved their plants and equipment during the past month, Dr. Dickinson ob- serves. "During the month just passed (July), imporvements have occurred amongst the dairies. Each year im- provements of one character of an- other are undertaken, with an en- deavour to keep the Dairy Plants modern and up-to-date. r City Dairymen are quick to take advan- tage of new ideas in dairy work and to make use of new machinery, if that have a tendency to improve the sanitary quality of the product turned out by the Dairy, or to re- duce the ut of voy and hin d an Plant in first- class 'sanitary condi- tion, "One of our dairies, at a cost of $2,800.00, has installed a 600 gallon pastenrizer of the latest pattern, new direct-expansion Ice Cream Freezer, capable of handling 90 gallons per hour, has also been installed, at an approximate cost of $2,700.00. This Freezer is capable of freezing a batch of ice cream in three minutes. It is reported of this Freezer that there are in Canada only two others like it in operation. Other varied improvements noted are fan ventilation, new cream bot- tle fillers, ngw cream coolers, new milk dump-tanks and scales, new electric recording thermographs (2), new counters for soda fountains, and, along with these installations, considerable painting and toning up. Willett Re-arrested, Broke Jail at Whitby Barrie, Aug. 7.--Alleged fo have made his escape from the town lock up at Whitby recently, George Willett of Oshawa was arrested on the highway about three miles south of here late yesterday, and is being held pend- ing instruction from Whitby. With the 'arrival of a brief message here that one of the es- caped men might be living in the vicinity of Barrie, the local and provincial police scoured the dis- trict. Acting on a hunch, James McGregor, game and fisheries in- spector, 'asked Chief Constable Alex. Stewart to make a fin] run along highway No. 11, south of the town, this afternoon, Learning that the wanted man might possibly be driving a mar- ket gardener's truck, the two officers set out. Passing several cars, they came upon a llkely- looking one. When approached by Chief Stewart, Willett gave his name as Callahan, under which name he had lived in Barrie more than a month, Placed in the police car, Willett sat with an air of indif- ference and surprise. "Do you know what you are wanted for?" asked Chief Stew- art. "No," came the reply. "You broke jail at Whitby, didn't you? agked the chief, Willett, it is al- leged, replied, "Youn ought to know." As the car drove toward Barrie Willet told nis story. He had been arrested and remanded to Jail, he said, for sentence in a domestic case. "I was in the town jail and when I saw how easy it would be to escgpe, I unscrewed # nut on the bolt of the door and simply walked out. I came up here and the next day got a job. I have been working ever since and have put on weight, It has done me good." Willett will be remembered as the man who threatened his wife with an axe in front of their Cromwtll Avenue home early last June, Neighbors intervened at the time, he was arrested and later placed on suspended sen- tence on a charge of assault, Willett, however, made fur- ther threats upon his wife who moved with her children to her father's farm near Whitby, On July 29 he was found in the woods near his father-in-law's place and was arrested by Con- stable Martin on a charge of va- grancy. With permission of Chief Constable Quantrill, Whitby, the county constable placed his pri- soner in the Whitby town lock- up. The following morning, how- ever, it was found that Willett had escaped. He is now wanted on a charge of jail breaking.

A definite acceptance of the in- vitation extended to him was re- ceived this morning from Mr. Price, who will accompany Pre- mier Henry to the banquet. It is not likely, however, that Mr, Price will be one of the speakers, as, with s0 many Empire, Dominion and Provincial dignitaries and high officials in attendance, the list of speakers has to be re- stricted to only one representa- tive from the province of Ontario, DRIVER FINED, WAS NEGLIGENT Motorist Ran Into Rear End of Milk Wagon -- Horse Bolted as Result While driving on Simcoe street early this morning, Roy Sher- rard collided with the rear of an Oshawa Dairy Co., milk wagon.

"How do you plead?' Magis trate Willis askeg. The accused: "Well, T don't know. I don't think it was fair to say I was driving recklessly. I wasn't going over 20 miles an hour at any time."

William Finlayson, Min- ister of Lands and Forests, as prob- able CMairman, will, it is under- stood, make an investigation of the Hydro situation. Ji Every angle of Hydro activity, including the Madawaska power purchase, with which the Commis- sion payment of $50,000 to John Aird Jr. is connected, will, it is said, be thrown open, if desired, to in- terrogation and examination. The Government, it is reported, is determined to clear the air with re- gard to Commission purchases and Commissioft policy. Questioned on the matter, last night, Premier George Henry had nothing to say other than to offer the assurance that if de- mands for a Hydro inquiry kept up he and his Government would be perfectly agreeable to such being authorized to a Legislative com- mittee. "As far as I can make out," he added, "there certainly is no need for a Royal Commission investiga- tion. A committee from the House is quite capable of looking into the matter if the House thinks there should be an investigation" The Ontario Cabinet met for two hours at Queen's Park yesterday noon, but, according to the Prime Minister, there was no discussion of the official Hydro Commission statement on the Aird payment which was released to the press lat- er in the day, and no consideration; whatever, of Opposition Leader Sin- clair's recent demand for a Royal Commission investigation of Hydro, on the ground that qnly by such a "fettering-out" can public fears regaiding the safety of the great public-owned power enterprise be rested, LIBERAL LEADER HAS NO COMMENT Mitchell F.

Sinclair, X.C., M.P.P. house lead=" er, of the Ontario Liberal party, today stated to The Times that he had no intention of becoming involved in a duel of personae ties with the senator, with whom, he said, he had no quarrel. He intimated, however, that when Senator Hardy was prepared to discuss the issues which had been raised in his, (Mr. Sinclair's) previous state- ment, he was ready to take up the discussion. Mr. Sinclair's statement to The Times was as follows: "It is beneath the Jignny of 8 member of the Provincial Legis» lature to talk about anyone fn the way that Senator Hardy has taiked about me, He however; may have some special license which others do not have. I have no personal quarrel with Senator Hardy and I do not intent to dis. cuss personalities such as he has raised in his stgtement. When he wants to discuss the issues whigh I raised In my former statgment, I am prepared to dis cuss them with him. I feel that any member of the Provincial Legislature, whether a party lea- der or not, has the right to dis- cuss issues which are before the public and that is what I propose to do."
