Whitby Names Assessor, Only three applications for Town Assessor of Whitby, for the year 1923, were received by the town clerk and presented at a special meeting of the Town Council. On the recommen- dation 'of the Applications Commit- tee, the application of Mr. Jas. F. Pirie was ed. The ry by-laws were passed, and Mr. Pirle was appointed assessor for 1923 at a salary of $400. The duties are to commence at once in order that the assessment may be completed as soon as possible. The two other ap- plications were from Geo. Kiel, who asked for $300 salary; and Henry Compo. who requested a salary of 125. Stole His Dope. - The lengths dope flends will go to get their favorite "shots" was brought forcibly home to a Cobourg doctor one morning this week, when he found that some party, who evi- dently knew just what particular {drug he was after, had entered his dispensary and stolen about $5 worth of morphine. The drug fiend evidently made a haul, as $6 worth of morphine in the ordinary way, retailed to dope fiends, would cost nearer $50. Hic By CP.R., Engine. While standing alongside the C.

Trade Mprks are Valuable The speaket outlined the Chinese method of dping business, pointing out that they| were conservative, but that when a fitm once obtained a foot ing in China jts future was assured. He told of a |case where goods had been sold for fifty years simply by the trade mark on the' cover, a firm of English white [lead makers doifg an enormous ' business simply because their trade mank 'was known, Many foreign manufagturers of textiles sold immense quantities of goods simply on their label; \ Unconsclously' Dr, Ross made a ple for the branding of goods and their proper advertising, a lesson which might well' be taken ho by manyH Canadian manufac: turehs, Belf-Conjained Country "China is oné \of the largest coun. f the worjd, larger than the Uni Stdfes, '(It has 'the 'largest " Ipopulgtion In the world: under one ruler. | The civiligation of" China has outlived all others such as that of reece and Rome."

The speaker clainjed that a traveller could follow the beaten track in China without encountering any discomforts. He then touchéd on\the various busi ness centres, such ag Shanghai, Han- kow and. Tin$ein, outlining their chief exports. The main artery. into the country the Yangitse River, which is navigable for large boats for 600 miles toa then a further 400 miles for smaller boats, Beyond that there are rap which are traversed by small Chin boats, but the difi- culties of navigation are such as to make the 60, 000 people living be- yond those rap! almost inaccessible to the rest of world. China N Railroads "The great of China is for transportfition. TRere are only 6000 miles in the whole'of China, und this is mostly in the north; 150,000,000 people in China are without roads of any kind." ite this k of transportation and backwandness of the interior, Dr. Ross claimed: that we should not look! om China as a back number. 'The interior may be backward but the great mass of the people are wide awake and anxious to learn. "In business the Chinese will be found to be very much the same as ourselves. They are actuated by the same ideals as the rest of us, the desire for happiness, the affection for loved ones; and the desire to ac- cumulate wealth. These desires meéan they are energetic, enterprising and ready to undertake anything in which there is a profit." Centre Shifting from Europe The speaker concluded by prophesy: ng that the centre of the world's activity would gradually shift from Europe to America and Asia.

The basement floors will be cement instead of mastie, "I'he steps outside will be of cement nstéead of stone. All face brick is to be selected stock brick instead of rug brick, "On the first floor," continued Trustee Nott, "the floors in the rooms will"be maple or birch instead of mas- tic. The corridor floors will lMkewise be of maple or birch instead of steel and concrete. The stairs will now be maple or oak instead of steel. The original plans provided for a private cloak room for the teacher of each room. These are being cut out, there being the central teachers' room om the second floor. The main door in the front on the original plans was to be 19 feet in the corridor. It will be moved out the same as the side doors, thus keeping the cold out of the baild- ing, and not changing the cost. Toilets will be provided for the principal's and nurses' rooms. The windows will be small, double diamond glass, as in the Simcoe Street School, instead cf large, as originally The 5 of three feet six inches. Fire doors between coal bunkers and the boiler room are cut out," concluded Trustee Nott, Gay Company (Gontinued from page 1) which would be adequate im years 0 come. LY Trustee Drew Also Opposed Trustee Drew, in opposing the rec- ommendation of the Property Com- mittee, felt that the Board was being asked to vote on something of which the members knew nothing. "The Property Committee is asking the Board to sanction am expenditure of $54,000 for a public school in the southeast ward but they have mo plahs or specifications here for the Board's inspection and possible ap- proval," he said. "We know nothing of the alterations or deductions from the original plans. All we have is that the revisi are ptable to the members of the Property Com- mittee and I cannot see how any ber can lentiously vote on such a proposition, which is unprec edented in the history of the Beard." Trustee Nott, chairman of the Property Committee, stated that he could get the plans im a very few minutes and explain them to the Board and he outlined the changes manufacturers were about to get to-}' raw [stated that he was mot prepared to bhulld rink, 1.8m. cony. thatgacept their words... nations LY So RHE that the Trustee Smith stated a that he could not see the contention of Trustee Chappell as they would have better accommodation in lavatories and cloak rooms, while the ventilating system would be much better, "If we can save $14,000 and have a school better than any other in Osh- awa, it looks to me like a wise move," he said. Supports. Recommendation Trustee Brown did not wish to criticize the Property Committee, He thought the original tenders called for the expenditure of too much money, There had been a good deal of criticism levelled at the Simcoe Street school but teach- ers had termed it to be the best 8chool in Oshawa, being warm and 'domfortable, and no trouble had 'been experienced with it. With ref- erence to the alterations. to the pro- posed new school he could not see how the substitution of rug brick for stock brick would disfigure the appearance and as far as a wooden stairs was concerned, schools were being erected in Toronto similarly equipped. If the building caught 'fire, it would burn down, even if a fireproof stairs were installed. He had asked the architect whether or not the building would look like a shack' and had been told that it would not. In his opinion the price should be lower than it was, point- ing out that schools could not be built in Oshawa at as reasonablv a price as in other places. The recommendation when put to a vote, carried by a vote of 4 to 2, those in favor being Trustees Knight, Smith, Nott and Brown; and those opposed being Drew and Storie. The other members, including Trustee Chappell, did not vote. The Proper ty Committee was then authorized to call for tenders for the plumbing and heating, the tenders when received to be submitted to the Board. At the close of the discussion Trus- tee Chappell suggested it would be very nice when building new schools to name them after those members of the Board instruméntal in having them erected, to characterize their work. "For instance," he said, "the new school which is to be built in the southeast ward, might be called 'The Economy School." " » Trustee Knight advanced the sug- gestion that the Board take steps to get the Centre Street School under way as soon as possible, but the sug- gestion was ruled out of order and the matter will come in for some attention at the next regular meet- ing. Technical School Needed Trustee Smith made reference to the desirability of providing more accommodation at the High Schoo! in connection with the construction of a technical school. The need for such an institution in Oshawa has been expressed by quite a number of citizens and if such a step is taken it will relieve the congestion at pre- sent fa evidence at the High School. By erecting a technical school and installing a gymnasium, etc., the High School would be converted into 4 first chass Collegiate Institute. How- ever, any steps taken in this regard must be approved by the Depart- ment of Education. Secretary A. E. Garbutt was instructed to write to the Department asking that a repre- sentative visit Oshawa to investigate the situation and bring in a recom- mendation to the Board. The grant offered by the Department of Edu- cation for the erection of techaical schools is quite liberal. Those present at the meeting were: Chairman C. N. Heary, Trus- tees E. W. Drew, S. Storie, W. P. Kuight, F. Chappell, H. 8. Smith, W. B. Nott, A Brown, Mrs. E. M. Corn- wall, Mrs. E. C. Myers and Secretary A. E. Garbutt. ued from page 1) ity, you are wanting.

I replied, 'No, Doctor, do nothing with this at all until after Saturday as there are two games scheduled for that day." The doctor replied, "All right, I don't suppose a day or two will make much difference." The next day I called Mr. Hare, secretary of the Park Board, and told him to call a meeting of the Board for Friday evening, which he did. The doctor says neither he nor the paper men were notified. This was 2 meeting of the Parks Board to dis- cuss matters pertaining to park bus- iness and especially to bring before them the question of breaking up this oval. Friday afternoon one of The Reformer staff called me about 5.30 and Asked if I knew the grass oval athletic field was being plowed. I replied that I certainly did not. I met Mr. Woodruff on Thursday, the day after the Fair, and told him the doctor wanted to break up that grass oval. I told him I certainly was not in favor of it and as he was one of that committee it was up to him to speak up 4nd say where he stood. . The Park Board met Friday eve- ning and passed a unanimous reso- lution that the work of plowing the oval be stopped and that the sod be replaced at once and nothing further done without consent of the Park Board, one of the commission adding that there was very likely to be a Central League final ball game here Saturday. The special committee met the Parks Commission Tuesday evening and the doctor endeavors to imfer that the committee were a unit on plowing up this oval. We certain- ly were mot. *. He further states that the Park are unanimous now that a portion of it should he plowed. I wish to go on record right here that I am not now in favor of plowing up any of it. If you do plow it up you will not have a turf like there mow is inside of tem years. In conclusion I would say the 4 city council would do well in the fu- ture to attend to and not appoint any special commit tee to confer with the Parks Commis- sion, as I think they are quite capa- ble of running their own affairs, Yours truly, F.
