The holding of an Imperial conter- ence of business men at which the question of freer and greater traue could be fully and frankly discuss- ed was necessary, and it was urged that the Federated Chambers con- gress will afford without unneces- sary duplication this opportunity and will allow ample time for tue preparation of the agenda paper. Other subjects of national and international importance were dis. cussed by the gathering of leading men of commerce from all parts of the Dominion. 'W. M. Birks, presi- dent, was chairman. The execu- tive decided if the approval of the annual conventions is obtained, to set up local health committees among its member boards and chambers across Canada to under- take, in co-operation with existing organizations interested in the health of the nation, an inter-town and city Better eHalth Contest, in an effort to diminish the '"'wastage of time and life with their deleteri ous influence on production caus- ed by illness, so often preventable."

Ninety reservations ftom Eastern Canada have been obtained up to the present. Busi- ness men from Great Britain and delegates, including the president, from the United States Chamber of Commerce, will attend. The executive approved the sug- gestion made by Sir Edward Dav- son, chairman of the Associated Chambers of Commerce of the brie tish West Indies, that the Cuna- dian chamber should act as the West Indies correspondent in Can- ada pending the appointment of a British West Indian trade commis- sioner in Canada. To further trude between Canada and the British West Indies it was decided to take up with the Federal Government the question of excessive cost of telegraphic communication be- tween Canada and the British West Indies. The cost deterred the flow of Canadian news to the West In- dian Press, it was stated, and de- terred also the exchange of busi- ness telegrams. NORWEGIAN VESSEL ENDS FAST VOYAGE Freighter Vego Crosses on Maiden Voyage .in Seven Days Montreal, June 29.--A fast voyage was made by the Norwegian freight- er Vego which has arrived her on he rmaiden voyage from Blyth, Eng- land, to Montreal, via. St. John's Newfoundland. She is under the command of Capt. Lind. Averaging 14 knots against a head wind and sea, the Vego reached St. Johns in seven days, comparing fav- orably with the speed of many liners an dit is believed that this run con- stitutes a record for a foreign freight- er on the North Atlantic service. . Speed Surprises In an interview, her chief mate, F. Jacobson' stated that her builders, Robert Thompson of Sunderland, England, promised that the vessel would do 13 knots and they were more than surprised when she aver- aged 14 knots, especially against a head wind and sea. She brought a full cargo of coal, the dust of which stuck to the fresh- ly painted bulkheads and made the ship look as if she had been in ser- vice for years instead of a few days. She is 2,922 tons gross and has a total SRpRCY OF bios bushels of grain, er deadweight tonnage i 5,200 tons. 2 ii All the latest navigational aids have been fitted to the new vessel whose equipment includes a direction finder and telemotor steering gear. She carries a crew of 29, including the captain and three mates. She is owned by Henrik Qostervolds Line and 'is the latest of a fleet of six steamers. The company have a sev- enth, a sister ship to the Vego, now building. She is now loading grain for Bre- men, German and Finland. SUGGESTION MADE BY FIRE MARSHAL Advocates Owners Not In. surance Firms Paying For Small Losses St, Catharines, June 20.--That fire losses of small amounts should be paid by the owners rather than by the insurance companies was the sugges- tion made by Provincial Fire Mar- shal A. P. Heaton addressing the op- ening session of the Ontario Fire Fighters. Although the actual loss by fire had been reduced since 1923, the number of fires had increased, the Fire Mar- shal said, and this was accounted for by the number of minor fires in dwellings, which were caused by carelessness. New dangers had been caused by the introduction of lux- uries into thc home. He gave the credit to the cfficiency of the fire- men and their apparatus for the de- creased loss. It was stated during the discussion on pensions that 24 Ontario cities had no pensions fund for firemen. Mem- bers will urge the passing of the Firemen's Pensions Fund Act by the Legislature, TRIBUTE IS PAID TO BLISS GARMAN Greatest Poet Canada Has Produced, Says Dr. Roberts Halifax, June 29.--Announcing his retirement from the presidency of the Canadian Authors' Association, Dr. Charles G. D. Roberts recently coup- led in his annual report a tribute to Bliss Carman as "the greatest poet Canada has produced," with a predic- tion that the poet's ashes in good time would "find their resting place on that high green hillside over-look- ing his own city of Fredericton." Pointing out that Canada is a bi- lingual nation, Dr. Roberts urged that representation of French-Canadian authors be increased in the Canadian Authors' Association. The associa- tion, was peculiarly fitted to do the vitally important work a closer un- derstanding sympathy and co-opera- tion between the two branches of Canadian people, each of which had much to give the other, A CANADIAN-MADE PRODUCT MISS BONDFIELD'S SISTER 1S PAYING VISIT 10 GANADA Learned of Sister's Appoint- ment While in Montreal Confidence of People One of Woman Cabinet Min- ister's Assets Montreal, Que., June 29.--News of the appointment of her sister, Right Hon.

If you have I. might come in under that cate- gory," she said with a twinkle. "Oh, yes; I have been a great aunt for years. I'm fully qualified for admis- sion to Canada under that head." Miss Bondfield was most enthusi- astic about her impressions of the Dominion, "I thoroughly appreciate Canada," she said, "I can never say enough about the wonderful hospi- tality of your people, and the way the women have welcomed us to their homes. Their kindness is really over- whelming." Miss Bondfield and her sisters are members of a family which number- ed seven sons and four daughters, whose home was in Chard Somerset, During the war she was active in organizing social clubs for soldiers and girls, and convalescent homes, and has spent most of her life in deaconess work, A Unique Experience Rev, Mrs, Edith Pickles, pastor of Stanley Congregational Church, Li- verpool, England, considers herself unique because she entered the min- istry without experiencing any of the usual 'prejudice, Interviewed here, Mrs. Pickles told how her entry into the ministry came about as a natural sequence of cvents, For 11 years her husband, Rev. Albert Pickles, had oc- cupied the pulpit of Stanley Congre- gational Church and when he died five and a half years ago she was called as his successor. During the war when her husband was at the front she had preached in several Liverpool 'churches and had done some general public speaking as well as gaining experience in this line in a good many organizations, MAXWELL'S SCHOOL PICNIC HELD ON SCHOOL GROUNDS Retiring Teacher is Presented With Signet Ring Taunton, June 29. --~Maxwell's school picnic which was held on the splendid grounds of Mr. Jas.

Before the picnic broke up Master Robert Hancock read an address to the teacher, Miss Doan, who has re- signed as teacher at Maxwell's. At the proper time, Miss Bessie Mount. joy presented her with a pretty sig- net ring.

FARMING FUTURE IS UP T0 WOMEN EXPERT CLAIMS Feminine Farmers Hear How to Keep Educated Child- ren on the Land Women must take an important part in rehabilitating agriculture as an industry, according to speak. ers at the annual meeting of the Darymen's League Co-operative As- sociation here, "You are sending your boys and girls to high schools and colleges, where they estalish high standards for themselves," Miss Vera Mc- Crea, director of the home depari- ment of the association, told 800 farm women who had gathered for the meeting. "They are never coming back to live happily under unfavorable circumstances. They are either going on to become leaa- ers in business or the professions or a few are coming back to en- gage in agriculture. Certainly the more progressive, ambitious ones cannot be expected to become in- terested in an industry which com- pares os unfavorably with the tin- ancail returns of other industries." Miss McCrea declared that the value of the agricultural industry in the United States declined from $73,000,000,000,000 to $58,000. 000,000 from 1921 to 1927, while other corporate wealth increased from $99,000,000,000 to $134,000,- 000,000. "The social status of the rural communities is being raised be- cause of the alert and active think- ing of our members and their wives, she continued. "I antici- pate better churches, better schools and better homes and a generally improved Condition in rural af- fairs." ' The meeting was. attended by more than 2,000 dairy farmers from all sections of the New York milk shed. BROWNING TO GIVE AWAY $60,000,000 Multi-Millionaire Breaks In- to News Columns in New Role New York, June 29.--E. W. Browning, multi-millionaire "Dad- dy" who figured so largely in the news some years ago as adopter ex- traordinary of young ladies and husband of "Peaches,"" who before her marriage was one of his wards, | da; has broken out on the front pages again, This modern 'Cinderella man" was not too successful in some of his previous attempts to spread sunshine among the work- ing classes but he is now engaged on a master stroke. With a great fanfare of trump- le ets he is selling his New York pre- perties including several skyscrap- ers, and with the $6,000,000 or so to be realized will bring down a perpetual rain of kiddie cars, coaster wagons, dolls, boats ana the like on *'poor" children wav come under his attention. Known as "Daddy" because of his adopting tendencies, he Is the cynosure of the eyes of hundreds of little girls as he tours New York streets in his distinctive car. Hav- ing heard much of his generous nature, it is ony natural that they should expect him to berak out at any time in one of his open-handed attacks of generosity. He has now turned himself into the Browning Foundation for the purposes of his proposed generosi- ties and the proceeds of the sale of his skyscrapers, business bufld- ing, apartment houses and other properties are to be handed to this foundation so that he will he able to give goodies and knick-knacks and what-nots to children without being criticized for his open-hand- edness. The proceeds of his vast holdings will, it is expected, bring toys and joys to thousands and thousands of youngsters now living and other thousands yet unborn. Sought Fun After Forty Browning, no doubt, hopes that tihs major gesture will convince the public of his sincerity, which has been more or less scoffed at for some years now. All his pro- perty he acquired before he had reached the age of forty, at which time he took his leisure and be- gan the adoption of poor little girls as wards, girls whom he thought worthy of a better place in the sun than they had been enjoying prior to the time he took them under his wing, oe ALMONDS PICNIC AT OSHAWA PARK Sunday School Will Hold Annual Outing on Wednesday, July 3 Almonds, June 28--Mrs, T.
