COLLEGIATE CHATTER -- With almost one hundred stud- ents from Oshawa Collegiate, at- tending the final debate for the interscholastie Bowmanville-Osh- 'awa-Whitby debating champlonsaip was held in Bowmanville Town Hall on Monday evening last, with a victory for Bowmanville being the final result, . The debate as was expected, proved to be a most excellent one and all who attend- ed thoroughly enjoyed it. The Osa. awa debators, Jean Merritt and George Campbell even in their de- feat are to be congratulated upon their remarkably fine showing, while to the winning team com- prised of Marian Rickard and Ted Mason, nothing but the highest commendation and congratulation can also be extended. 4" As shown by the crowds which followed the Oshawa debating teams to both Whitby and Bow- manville, debating is growing in its popularity in Oshawa Collegi- ate this year and this is indeed a good omen if success in the fu- ture interscholastic contests is to be achieved. The tendency in the lower school to take part in ora- torical work on a larger and het- ter scale is also a good indication of the trend in this direction, LJ * . Although at time of writing, the result of the sectional oratorical contest in Cobourg on Friday even ing is not known, Ruth Fishleigh, hy winning the oratorical chaavp- ionship of the school is already to be highly congratulated, espeeci- ally since she was one of the repre- sentatives of the lower school in the final contest heard in the as- sembly hall on Tuesday morning, If she adds to her laurels in her effort against the hest in Central Ontario at the contest in Cobourg, it will certainly he a great thing both for her and the school she represents. More information about the contest in Cobourg might be appearing elsewhere in this fs- sue.

The home streteh in 1! \etn Ludi's journey towards publicat nn has now been reached and all nes week should see a final und -nl- lant effort op the part of everyone concerned to give the school's magazine a last puch towards ite pinnacle of anticipated success A last touching up of short stories 4 final glancing over of some pue- try or some lingering attempts at the lesser but non the less im- portant contributions, will all have to be done next week since the contributions close and the maga- zine goes to press on Monday, March 19. During this week as was the case last week, the contributions in nearly all departments of the Acta Ludi have been of a highly satisfactory nature and if this good work continues throughout next week not many misgivings should be held as to the outcome of the magazine. To date, (ue weakest section is in the humour department where, though the hu- morous short stories are about as they should be, the jokes amd lighter articles, especially. of an original nature are sadly in need of considerable increase. . AJ . The cover design for the Acta Ludi was selected this week and Lillian Pierie in form 4A has the honor of being the successful stu- dent to submit it. The choice was no easy one and the expert ua- vice of Mr. McNabb, teacher of commercial art in the night school classes, had to be called in before the final selection was made. Al- most half a dozen remarkahle contributions were made for design, among them being wu. ss from Margaret Shelley, Dorothy Scott and Elsie Ross, which were particularly fine. These unsue- cessful contributions are to be held over for consideration again next year. NM * . If you saw the basketball game on Thursday after four, what did you think of it? And if you did not see it, what do you think of yourself for having, missed it? A good game was expected and very few who saw it will say they were dissappointed. The return game Monday should he Is only too bad that Taronto is ahout thirty-five miles away in stead of not being as close as Bowmanville or Whithy in which case several hundred of the team's ardent sipporters might he tempt- ed to make the trip. As it is. a special hus or even two may make the trip to accommodate those who are desirous of going. and if such Is the case, it should withont a doubt add to the morale of the teamr on a strange floor and play- ing a eruelal game, with a crowd of supporters behind them $=» Two hus loads carried the North Toronto contingent to Oshawa. and they were hy no means slack in making themselves heard or in supporting their players. Whether the North Toronto team needed "upport or not, however, remains to be seen when they play their home game. They are a fast and prgressive aggregation and on i heir small floor they might even 'ook till more formidable than they did here on Thursday. On the other hand. though Oshawa is at present six points ahead on the round, so far, the 0.C.I. confident that they will not only win the round but that in Toronto they will repeat their vietory, which was hung up here. : CL During the short month of Feb- She Canada This company paid the sum of $8,279,514 to policyholders in 1927 of which amount more than $3,600,000 was in the form of dividends, FRANK V, EVANS, Representative Standard Bank Building 7 Simcoe St. N, - ET 4 Oshawa, Ont.

It is for those who have not the advantage of this experi- ence that the training hostel hae heen established, The two months' free course covers instruction in cooking, laundrywork, household management, and needlework. The ptudents as well as receiving free board and lodging, are given a | small allowance for pocket money. Single women hetween ¢he ages of 118 and 35 are eligible for train- ting, and applications from widows | without children are considered The wages for domestic workers in { Australia ravge from 15 shillings | per week upwards for inexperienc- ed and from 25 shillings per week upwards for experienced workers, with free board and lodging. The women migrants were epter- tained at tea at Australia House (the Australian government head- quarters in London) prior to sail- ing. Miss Margaret Bondfield, La- bor M.P., Chief Woman Officer of the National Union of General and Mupicipal Workers, Parliamen- tary Secretary to the Ministry of Labor in the late Labor Govern- ment, addressed the women in Aus- tralia House. She sald that domes- tic service, the proper keeping of the home, and the proper feeding of its inmates, was the most jm- portant work that fell to women to do. The conditions under which domestic servants had to work in this country might well be object- ed to, but to look down on domes- tic service, as unfortunately was often, done in this country, was one of the worst survivals of a bud tradition of social status, The women would not find that feeling in Australia. All that would be ex- pected of them was to do their job well, and doing that they would be afforded many opportunities of pleasant social life. Colonel Manning, Director of Migration for the Commonwealth of Australia, said there were m0 differences of status in the Com- monwealth. No class arrogated to itself the claim of being the work- ing people. All men and women worked. He congratulated Austra- Jia on the splendid acquisition of British womanhood which it was about to receive.

The bill {a the most contentious Referring to Mr. Bouchard's ce- ference to the attitude of the Builder's Exchange of Montreal, Mr. Vautrin declared that an em- ergency meeting had been held on Monday night and while the ex- change had approved state insur- ance last autumn, the exchange had held a special meeting on Mon- day to again discuss the govern- ment"s projected legislation. German System The German origin of the state insurance system was no recom- mendation for it to Mr. Vautrin who compared Germany with France, where the premium assur- ance system was still in force. In the United States, too, the prem- fum system was in force in the ma- jority of states. He declared that he would vote for the Government bill in second reading because he believed that lation, not only of the present ses- sion, but in the history of the House. The matter would be dis- cussed in detail, at the third read-! ing of the bill and it sufficed to | deal in general with it for the time being. Mr. Duplessis, admit that the while present bill say that it was sufficient to meet the requirements of the day. From 1909 to 1928 there had been plen- ty of room for good work, but no- body had been able to notice any such development on the part of the Government. He congratulat- ed T. D. Bouchard for his address on the bill and went on to declare that the law was for the protec tion of the insurance companies rather than of the workers. He deplored the opening of the door to the insurance interests to settle claims of Injured workmen. ready to | was | an improvement was mot ready 'o | legislation for many sessions, and the Liberal party held a cau- cus on it on Thursday afternoon. Trenee Vautrin (Montreal-8t, James) opened the debate for the Government, replying to Alderic Blain (Montreal-Dorion), who spoke last before the adjournment last week. He contended that the new act would mean better and speedier indemnification for the in- jured working man, who would benefit under the administration of the projected commission be- cause he would avoid the usual long process of the law, but would have his case settled promptly and cheaply. Referring to the Ohio state sys- tem referred to by T. D. Bouchard (St. Hyacinthe) last week, the member for St. James discussed it in connection with the visit of the labor delegation last week. Minor Amendments All that the delegates of 70,- 000 organized workers had asked for were minor amendments to the act. In the main they had heen satisfled. There had heen no question of the Ohio system. La- bor had been well satisfied with the (Government's attempts to amaoliorate lahor conditions. Mr, Vautrin bhelleved that the Quebec act was more generous than that of Ohio. In Ontarfo in 1924 there had been 49,000 aceldent cases, of which 20,000 had received no oth- er indemnity than medical treat- ment; another 27.000 had only heen remunerated for a few weeks and 2,000 had received real In- demnity on the temporary or per- manent partial or total disability basis. Ontario had criticized the Ohio, New Brunswick and other systems involving state insurance. In the face of this, Ontario more than doubled Quebec's Industrial in- vestment figures. It was only na- tural, therefore, that Quebec's rates of insurance would be higher. | it was to the advantage of the citi zen most interested, the injured worker.
