Subway, Mayor Elliott replied that an audience was sought for this week but owing to the ab- sence from the city of the Hon. Leopold Macaulay, who is attend- in Montreal, the audience will be sought for Tuesday next. Tonight's meeting will bring in various suggested works by the committees and an open meeting of council will be held on Mon- day night when the works will be approved. The delegation will then proceed to Toronto on Tues- day and place its request before the Minister. Should the, delega- tion get no satisfaction from their request they 'will then present their alternate program before Mr. J. A. Ellis, the commissioner for Unemployment Relief. Should the plans be adopted as eouncil suggests work will not be long commencing. Mayor Elliott was unable to suggest any work that might be undertaken Tt was very difficult he said to find any work that was really necessary and that would provide any amount of work for the men, Last winter the erection of the new equalizer tank and the grading and clearing of Rotary Park pro- vided considerable work, but unless it is the laying of side- walks little else is known what WIFE OF FORMER ORONO MINISTER DIES AT COBOURG Colborne, Sept, 24--The death oc- curred suddenly in the Cobourg Hospital yesterday morning of Mrs. Stirling, wife of the Rev. Mr. Stirl- ing, of Colborne United Church, Mrs. Stirling was rushed to the Co- bourg Hospital on Tuesday, but d away yesterday morning. can be dome. The il might however, act on the suggestion of the James Proctor and Red- fern Company who is a recent report urged the extemsion of the waterworks system so as to pre- vent a shortage such as was ex- perienced during the past sum- mer when the Canning Factory was running at full speed. In the engineer's report regarding the shortage it was suggested that the council connect with another spring or dig an artesian well in the town, The erection of an elevated tank as a pressure equalizer was also urged. Any of these works might be under- taken but Mayor Elliott was un- able to state anything definite yesterday. HOCKEY CLUB TO PRESENT COMEDY On Wednesday and Thursday next the modern comedy, "The *College Flapper' will be staged at the Opera House under the auspices of the Bowmanville Junior Hockey Club. The club has had rather lean years of late and are taking this method cf pulling square before another season commences, The « play promises to be one of the big- gest events staged here for some time and it includes a cast of over 150 local people. It is a modern, up to date college com- edy with a thrilling football story. Features of the production are the appearance of prominent business men in the Flapper Chorus, a Baby Pageant in which 150 local children take part, the Alumni Glee Club featuring some of the finest singers in Bowman- ville and practically all of Bow- manville's favorite actors taking part.

NEARING COMPLETION The roof has now been on the new building being erected by the Public Utilities Commiss'on and the plastering and finishing of the interior is well under way. The interior work will take some time but it appears very probable that the eontractors will have the building completed well within the specified time. SUBWAY NEARLY FINISHED Work on the new subway on Simcoe Street South will only take a few more days to complete so far as the City Engineer's De- partment is concerned, while the work of the contractors who are laying the track for the Oshawa Street Railway Company is also nearly finished. i COUNCIL TRYING T0 SECURE LARGER GOV'T WORK GRANT (Continued from page 1) titioned to increase the purtion of grants to municina'ities, for works constructed in the relief of unemployment, to at least seventy-five per cent of the coer. This city is already faced with a serious deficit, amounting proh- ably to well over $20,000, at the end of the current year according to a statement made some weeks ago by Ald. P, A. MacDonald, chairman of the Finance Com- mittee of the City Council. This defieft is caused through the tre- mendous strain placed upon the Relief department owing to ab- pcrmal conditions resulting from such a large proportion of unem- ployment and presents a problem which must be definitely solvea when the civic budget is struck for 1932. A special meeting of the Fi- nance Committee of the City Council has been called for this evening in order, it is under- stood, to go into the whole situa- tion of relief and the conditions which exists and has caused such unprecedented expenditures.

It is hoth. In the botan- ical sensg even a squash is a fruit and in the general dictionary sense fruit and vegetable are syn- onymous. The fruit vegetable argument is not the tomato's chief claim to fame, however. It is a fruit of no mean renown, Only the potato surpasses it in world consump- tion. Yet twenty years ago it was a freak in Canada, though the U.S. had sponsored it fifty years before. It originated in South America, where it was much gath- ered, but only a pretty ornament, At that time it had wrinkles, though its colour was luring. Careful brooding lifted the wrinkles. Soon some enterpris- ing Spanish family decided to try eating tomatoes and found the taste rather agreeable. The to- mato then became known as love- fruit, Later the Spaniards of South America dubbed it tomato, and the Mexicans labelled it to. matle, each pronouncing the final "0" as a syllable, The English man's proverbial linguistic weak- ness gave rise to the name to- mata, which was further twisted into tomato. Since all Latin lan- guages avoid the pronunciation of "aye" for *h", and since "ah" is a fairly safe "a' for Canadians and Americans in doubt, it would seem that the tomato is better pronounc ed "tomahto" than "tomaito". At any rate, in the Bahamas millions of winter tomatoes are grown for shipment to Canada by Canadian National liners and freighters, Thanks to tariff agreements with the British West Indies, they sell 30 per cent. chpaper in Canada than non-Em- pire tomatoes.

Mr, Macdonald recently announc- ed that his organization planned recruiting 600 men to be sent to Estevan to end the strike, caused when the miners quit work in protest against working condi- tions and wages. Mr. Macdonald stated that Drumheller and Regina had offer- ed thelr gupport to his scheme. Other centres also had ¢come for- ward, 100 Men Ready Drumheller, he continued, re- ported it could raise 100 men who would work in the now idle coal fields of Estevan, Mr, Macdonald added that an agreement, calling for the same conditions existing in both mining fields of Western Canada, will have to be signed by the operators before the men will be sent to the Saskatchewan mines, "Negotiations have not heen completed with the operators there, and it may be necessary that T will have to go down thers and sign the agreement before the transportation of the men," Mr, Macdonald said. It is also plan- ned to have the Dominion authori- ties supply transportation for the workers. Mr. Macdonald men- tioned that Hon, G. D. Robertson, Minister of Labor, had stated that 'any man who could find employ- ment would be transported by the Government." He said it was his intention to take advan- tage of that offer, FINANCIAL EXPERT SAILS FOR CANADA Sir Percy Thompson Will Assist Newfoundland Government New York. -- Sir Richard Squires, Premier of Newfound- land, who is now in New York, stated recently that Sir Percy Thompson, of the British Treas- ury, who is going to Newfound- land to co-operate with the Govy- ernment in matters of fiscal reor- ganization, left yesterday by the Empress of Britain for Quebec. Sir Richard also stated that J. B. Penson, one of the senior officials of the estimate and control de- partment of the Treasury, is aldo being lent by the Treasury to Newfoundland for collaboration with Sir Percy Thompson, Mr. Penson Will be sailing di- rect from Liverpool to Newfound- land early in October. It is pre- sumed, though official confirma- tion cannot be secured, that Pre- mier Squires will have a confer ence in Quebec or Montreal with Sir Percy and Robert J. Magor, before they go to Newfoundland. Mr. Magor, who is a business man of Montreal and New York, was selected by Sir Richard in June last to visit Newfoundland for co-operation in the reorganiza- tion of the commercial activities of the Newfoundland Govern- ment, Mr, Magor was described by Sir Richard as a high-class busi- ness executive who would give his attention to railway, steam. ship, machine shops, dry dock, postal, telegraphs, telephones, ho- tel and other commercial activ- ities of the Newfoundland Govern- ment, as distinct from public fin- ance, which is the sphere to which Sir Percy and Mr. Penson will de- vote their attention. Sir Richard said, "our present difficulties have given us a unique opportunity for flscal and com. mercial reorganization and the laying on bedrock of granite structure the foundation of New- foundland's future economic de- velopment." LAKE MINNEWANKA Replacing the then existing nomenclature of Devil's lake or Devil's Head lake, the name Min- newanka was given to the famous ) lake in Banff National Park, Al- berta, by the Department of the Interior in 1888. Minnewanka means 'lake of the water spirit." The Stoney Indians called it '"m-ne-sto'"" or "Cannibal lake," while among the Crees it was known as "ki-noo-ki'mow'" or "Long lake." Sir GeorgeStmp- son had it named "Poechee lake" after his guide but that name NOBLE TRIBUTE T0 MICHAEL FARADAY FROM GEN. SMUTS Centenary of Renowned Scientist Is Observed by Association London, Sept. 23.--" Faraday was probably the greatest ix- perimenter in the history of science, But the wonderful thi%g about him is not only his rare skill and resourcefulness and success as an experimenter, but also his scientific insight, his sureness of intuition, and his prophetic anticipation of later developments," declared General the Rt. Hon, Jan Smuts, presi- dent of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, in an address which opened the great Faraday Centenary Exhibit this afternoon. "His was an uncanny power of scientific imagination--I had al- most said of scientific divination, which has put him in the very front rank of scientific genius," General Smuts added, of the great pioneer in the discovery of electro magnetism, "During this week of homage to the memory of Michael Fara- day you have heard, you will still hear, tributes from famous rep- resentatives of many sciences to, this great master of science," General Smuts said, "This ex- hibition serves no propaganda or publicity purpose, it is simply and solely an act of homage to Michael Faraday, the man and the scientist." "Light, power, transport and instantaneous world-wide com- munications are ull illustrated here, as part of the harvest which mankind has reaped from the labors of Faraday. These appli- cations Faraday left .to others and to time; with the pride of the born creator he was most deeply interested in fundamental research, And his achievement in pure science Is in many ways even more significant than these practical applications, . immense as they have been. "I congratulate electricians that they can claim as their own, as their foremost figure, one who may rightly be considered the very ideal of a scientific man. Science like religion has its pat- ron saints, In Faraday the votar- jes of electrical science have a patron saint worthy to be ranked with the highest in the religious calendar. Men of science some- times share the weaknessees of human nature with the rest of us, but here we have one in whom high scientific geniug was combined with the most touching simplicity, purity and nobility of character; one who, like the great Puritan poet, lived as ever in his great Taskmaster's eye; not only a king of thought, but a humble elder in the Sandemanian society, visiting the poor and comforting the sick and suffer- ing. To think ot Faraday the scientist is to be conscious of our own significance beside tow- ering genius, to think of Fara- day the man is to feel ourselves inches taller as men, "Hig career is a rare romance and a tribute to human nature at its best. Boru and nurtured in poverty, he early made the great renunciation, and chose to re- main poor for the sake of science, He began with no Initial ad- vantages, no stimulating sur- roundings, no academic associa- tions or training, From book- seller's apprentice and journey- man bookbinder, a kind fate led him to -become bhottlewasher to Sir Humphry 'Davy, and his feel were firmly; set on the great adventure of science, He asked little of life; his passion was science; his ecstasies were those of scientific experiment and dis- covery. "And has it ever been given to mortal man to feel the rap- ture of scientific dsicovery more than Faraday felt it? He found electricity not a science but a scientific curiosity, an affair of curious phenomena with which a few scientists toyed. He left it a fully developed science with foundations firmly laid, and a stable superstructure construct- ed thereon, which gave it a fore- most place among the physical sciences, Almost alone and single handed he did for electricity in two decades what a host of great discoverers had combined to do for chemistry in a period several times as long. Such is the stride of genius, Luckily for him, his exploration was over virgin terri- tory, he had no oppressive litera- ture to read, no woolly theories of others to raise false scents. With the sure insight of genius he read the riddle of his experi- ments in a way which subsequent labors and reflections of others have only served to confirm. "The greatness of Faraday as a scientist can be gauged from another point of view, The two SAY DIRECT SHIP LINES NEEDED Steamers "Between Mari- times and South America Would Increase Trade Saint John, On the eve of a Canada - wide tour in the interest of increased trade between the Dominjon and South American countries, J. A, Strong, trade commissioner at Panama City named lack of direct steam- ship connections with the Mari- times as the greatest handicap to trade between these provinces and Parama, Colombia and Venezu- ea, . The South American market is good for New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island potatoes and Nova Scotia fish. Quebec pulp firms find there purchasers for their newsprint. But prac- ticely all Canadian exports fo these countries, said Mr, Strong, are shipped by way of New York. Ore difficulty in the way of a direct steamship service, of course, was the question of a re- turn cargo. South America's greatest export is coffee and Can- udu buys her coffee extensively from British possessions. The sending of personal repre- sentatives to South America was recommended by the commis- sioner, who pointed out that the knowledge of local conditions and credits gained by personal con- tact would he invaluable in pro- moting trade, Mr. Strong opened the Cana- dien office in Panama, as trade commissioner, two years ago. The office serves over tse repub- lics of Panama, Colombia and Venezuela, the combined popula- tions of which number more than 12,000,000 with an external trade in 1929 amounting to more than £500,000,000. While Venezuela and Colombia have felt the pre- sent depression very keenly, both countries have been singularly free from political disturbances and should consequently recover riore rapidly than somd of the cther South American republics, Mr. Strong stated. CHURCHILL ROUTE FOR CATTLE SEEN Hon. Robert Weir Points Out Advantages of Northern Port Churchill, Man.--Broad lanes of outflowing trade for the Hud- son Bay route beyond the ship- ment of grain were envisioned recently by Hon. Robert Weir, Minister of Agriculture, after a tour of the elevator and harbor development at Churchill, Mr. Weir was both enthusiastic and hopeful for the future of the new route, Himself a Saskatchewan farm. er, Mr. Weir considered the ideal arrangements made by the Cana- dian Government at fits north country harbor would encourage shipment of live stock overseas at a saving to the farmer. Too, he believes that advantage would be found in shipping of flour from Prairie mills, leaving bran and shorts for feed use in the west and obviating the need of pur- chase from the lake head, Proximity of Churchill to the park country, stretched along the northern parts - of the Prairies, would bring the highly efficient drying machinery at the Churchill elevator into particular promin- ence, Mr, Weir believed, The high speed and efficiency of the apparatus would aid shippers from these zones, where most dif- ficulty has been occasioned by tough and damp grain. "If the port is the success we expect and hope it will be, it will work in particularly well with the livestock scheme we have been deveoping," Mr. Weir com- mented, Under the mentioned scheme, farmers are availed of a 50 per cent reduction on freight in mov- ing cattle direct from the ranges for feeding in the northern parts of the Prairie provinces. "In the north," the Minister mentioned, "the cattle would be on a direct route through Chur- chill to the United Kingdom. With a good through freight run, cattle could be moved from Prince Albert, Sask.,, or other points equidistant from the bay terminal and loaded at Churchill with the feeding at The Pas, A propor- tionate saving would result for other points on the Prairies. The shorter rail haul means a great deal in the decrease of shrinkage of cattle and the maintenance of condition, "With good feeding arrange- ments at The Pas," Mr, Weir went on, "it would be necessary only in an emergency to feed at Churchill. The only feed neces- sary to be brought in would be roughage, since the elevator is equipped with a crushing plant to crush screenings for feed on the ocean voyage." In addition, a gaving in freight as compared to the east haul 'was pointed out by the Minister. principles of the vation of energy and organic evolution are generally considered the most fruitful and significant general- izations of science in the 19th century. With these we have un- doubtedly to bracket a third gen- eralization--the laws of electro- magnetism, Recent advances in physics have given to these laws an added importance, and today it may be said without contra- diction that these laws are of fundamental importance for all physical science. The very con- stitution of matter has turned out to be electrical; the ultimate pre-atomic. constituents of the world are electrical; and electro magnetism has ousted chemistry as the fundamental science, The it ever appeared on a map, governing concepts aud experi- mental principles which underlie the laws of electro-magnétism were the achievement of Fara- day; his successors have but built on to the foundations which he laid with masterly skill and insight, To him therefore should be assigned the credit for one of the three supreme scientific generalizations of the last cen- All Work Guarantted t JACK READ | Car.

CONFERENCE ON SILVER QUESTION American Delegate Has Not Yet Been Named Paris.--A delay in study of the world silver situation by a committee of international ex- perts appeared likely because the American delegate has not yet been named, The International Chamber of Commerce headquarters, which is sponsoring the study in an effort to determine the advisability of calling a world conference on sil- ver, had expected the appoint- ment of Norman Davis to repre- sent the United States, but it was - | learned that he will not be able to accept, Ernest Franklin will repre- sent Britain on the three-man . committee, and Jvan Walree will represent Holland. The date of the committee meeting was not certain, but it probably will con- vene in London, The experts will be asked merely to advise the chamber as to the practicability of further attempts toward international examination of the situation, The opposition of severa] govern- ments to the proposed world conference has made further age tion uncertain, CANNED FRUIT T0 BE CLASSIFIED Welfare Department will Be Aided in Distribue tion of Food (By The Canadian Press) Toronto, Ont., Sept. 21,--In connection with the canning of fruit being done at Spadina House by city women, it is planned, when the finished product is re- turned, to have, on rows of shelves, all the canned fruit and vegetables nicely classified, When the Welfare Department desires 80 many jars of jam or pickles, vegetables, etc, they can be swiftly checked out, each kind placed together so that mo un~ necessary delay will occur, "Best news we've heard in a long time," was the greeting this news received from Mrs, K, G. Mackinnon of the Visiting Housekeepers. 'Vegetables and fruit are the very things that are lacking in the families to which our housekeepers go. We don't always expect the city to supply them, and the result is that ow families too often have a mono- tonous diet. It's a wonderful idea' this, of storing our over-abund- ant crops, and I know just what it is going to mean for our fami- lies, and especially for our mo- thers and children, . ° li Mrs, Irving Roberfson, of the Mothercraft Centre, welcomed the word that a preserving centre is under way with open arms, She delights in it because mother craft work, with its endeavors to stimulate and keep up the milk tlow with nursing mothers, de- pends so greatly on green fools and fruits and vegetables of all sorts. Miss Margaret Gould of the Child Welfare Council was more than delighted that the step had been taken. "It will mean such a great thing for our children," she said, "It seems wonderful that the {dea of salva- ging things has been put so quickly into action." "Though we make it a practice never to give aid either in food or in clothing--ours is a nursing service entirely--I, and the nur- 'ses, who so often meet cases of nmialnutrition in their rounds, will be thankful to know that fruits | and vegetables are to be conser= ved for the needy," said Miss Ed- ith Campbell of the Victorian Or- der, "So often our nurses find cases that would be greatly helped if only there were a few fruit and vegetable vitamines in the diet. They'll be delighted to know that our various food-dis- trituting agencies will have » supply to draw upon." "To understand facts is the best aid to memory.'--Walter S. Gifs | ford.
