EXPLAINS ACCOUNTS F. E. DuRisu Tells of Various Personal Monies He Spent for Veterans , r-------- ' Dear Bir, "i. 1 see by your report of the GW, V.A, meeting in Saturday's issue, that my name was mentioned very prominently in connection with some accounts sent to the G.W,V.A, In Justice to myself, I ask you to give me space to make an explanation. The accounts were for provisions, meat, ete,, supplied to me on the occasion of the visit of the Orange Black Knights in August last, The sircumstances were as follows: A few days before the date set for the arrival of the visitors, Mr, A, Cam« eron, M,C. for that day, approached me and asked how many people the G.W.V.A, Hall could seat for meals. I told Wim that we could give quite a number and he then asked if I could feed four hundred, and I re. plied that I could, providing that number were guaranteed, He then Jromised me faithfully that he would Jimself see that we got that num- ser; in fact, that we would get more han we could handle. This, com- ing from a responsible party, as 1 believed, 1 at once went ahead with arrangements to feed the number stated. The results were very dis- couraging, as, instead of the 400 us promised, all we had was one band of 16 persons and a few strag- glers. Now, Mr. Editor, I took upon my- self the responsibility of going abead with the matter in the hopes that there would be a good profit shown and that there would be a substan- rial balance to be handed over to the G.W.V.A. funds, instead of which | am saddled with the responsibility of seeing these accounts settled. Being no squealer, that is what Iam now doing. Of course 1 can quite see, that if there had been a profit instead of a loss, it would have been said I did quite right in the matter, but as it was the other way round, of course I did quite wrong. The only satisfaction I can get from Mr. Cameron is sympathy, which won't pay hills, One account included in the num- (Established in 1871) An independent newspaper pub- lished every other day (Tuesday, Titursday and Saturday afternoons at Oshawa, Canada, by The Reformer Printing and Publishing Compan Limited, Charles.

Single coples Ob cents, TS -------------- OSHAWA, THURSDAY, FEB, »In, CLEAN UP THE POOL ROOMS » The decision of the Town Coun: cil on Monday night to grant no new licenses for pool rooms, The Hetormer believes, will meet with the warm approval of the majority of residents of Oshawa. The ex- pressed desire of the Counchllors to have the present pool rooms clean. ed up and the standard raised will also meet with the approbation of practicslly every man and woman in the 'town, Too often, however, expressed de- sires of this kind are forgotten within a few days. Sometimes, too, it l# found that the line of least jesistance is to allow matters to continve as they were, once the question under discussion is out of the public eye. The decision to lim- it the licenses here to four does ngt dispose of the pool room ques: tion It settles only the first part of it. The second part is to adopt strict regulations -- and see that the samo are enforced -- to keep the standard up to a level that will not make the pool room atmosphere a detriment to manhood. Inasmuch as several Councillors have voiced the opinion that local pool rooms are not what they should be, ratepayers will expect these Councillors to insist that conditions are remedied and that promptly.
