'The clerk was instructed fo write the Hydro Commission of Ontario for their promised reply to the del- egation that visited the commmssion on Femruary 12 relative to the pur- chase of the local Hydro plant.' Farmers' Agreement Reeve Carruthers brought to. the notice of the council that fact that the Town of Whitby had made a five year agreement with the farm- ers of that town regarding assess. ents and exemptions and wonder- ed if this could not be done in Bow- manville to do away with the ncces- sity of having to canvass cach year to present the case of the farmers to the town council. 1t had previous- ly been the case that this agree- ment had to be made each year be- tween the contacting parties, but the reéve did not sec why Whitby could make a five year agreement and Bowmanville could not, The matter was finally disposed of by leaving the question in the hands of a committee composed of the fi- nance committee and the clerk to report on at the April meeting of the council, Waterworks committee asked per- mission to purchase at a reduced price from out of town a quantity of 4-inch pipe and other accesories. Permission was granted, Councillor Fletcher, chairman of the cemetery committee recommend. | ed that a new fence be erected at the cemetry together with new gates for the entrance. He considered tne cost without labor to be $315.30 and suggested that the old fence be ut. ilized for some other purpose. Mo- tion was carried and the work will be proceeded with in the near fu. ture to provide work of the unem- ployed. INDUSTRY MAKES INQUIRIES {IERE A matter of utmost importance te the town of Bowmanville was brought up at last evening's meet- ing of the council whereby it is possible for the town to practical- ly double its present quota of em- ployed help. A letter was read from the Commisioner of Indua- tries of the Canadian National Rail- ways informing the town that an American company was wishing to locate in Canada and would spend the sum of $750,000 on a plant § they could find a place with all the required necessities. These nec- essities included a good supply of water, a close proximity to the EE -------- A proposal that the town council make an agreement with the farmers within the corporation limits for a period of five years, similar to that made recently between the town * council of Whitby and the farmers of that vicinity, was made by Reeve Carruthers at the regular meeting of the town council held in the coun- cil room lastnight. Another import. ant item of business that was trans acted was the sale of the old Rat- cliffe Machine Shop to George Week es for the sum of $800 cash. 'A communication was read from 'the Dominion Road Machinery Com- pany who wish to supply the town with a Champion horse drawn road sweeper for paved streets. The mat- ter was. left in the hands of the road and streets committee to report at the April meeting. 'M. V. G. Gould wrote asking the council its intended action in erspect 'of the claim of Mrs. Vanstone of King street whose cellar was flood- ed in the January thaw. Clerk was instructed to write Mr. Gould to the effect that council was considering the matter. : Councillor Alan Campbell, chair- man of the finance committee pre- sented his report of accounts for payment amounting to $1340.67, which was adopted. - \ Deputy Réeve Rehder, chairman of the Waterworks Committee rendered accounts amounting to $198.65 which were carried. The finarfce committee reported "the sple of the high school deben- tures to H. R. Bain and Co, for the price of $102.08. This price was ap- proved and the mayor said that the town got an exceptionally good price for their debentures and one that reflected on the good: standing of the town's finances.

Ross Strike last evening. Mr. Strike is the counsel repre senting the farmers in the contro- versy which arose when the Hydro, in installing their new relief line, crossed the farms of many farmers in this district and in many in- stances crossihg diagonally across fields, At the previous liearing the cages' of but two farmers were heard out of the 30 that are trying to make a settlement with the Com- mission, At thé former hearing no decision was arrived at and it is expected that at the hearing next week an offer will be made to the farmers by the counsel for the Hy- dro which includes Sir Willlam Hearst, former premier of Ontario.

LAND ADJOINING | OSHAWA HARBOR (Continued from Page 1) as the city did not own any land immediately close to the harbor. This property was right on the Oshawa Railway car line and also on the har- bor basin and was an ideal industrial site. It could be filled in and entire- ly reclaimed by the present harbor development, this summer, said Ald- erman Boddy. The land was bought for $5,500 nine years ago, said Alderman Hart, 'There was a house and barn on the property. Alderman P. A. Macdonald ported the purchase. Industries Interested Some concerns had been consider ing the purchase of this same land last year, Lut the city had secured an option on it first, said Alderman Boddy, Should such a concern as a coal company desire a location, this would be and ideal location. This would be bought under authority of a bylaw passed last year by the rate- payers, authoriz' .g the purchase of lands for industrial purposes, up to a total of $30,000. The clause, recommending the purchase was adopted on motion of Aldermen Bunker and R. McDonald. MEMBERS' NIGHT HELD BY FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH (Continued from Page 8) . W. Small who delivered his ad- 'ess In a clear and pleasingly dis- 'net manner. The concluding number was a solo by Mrs. Mundy. Refreshments were sorved after tls in the Sun- day School Room of the church. Mr. Small's Address Rev. Mr. Small's address was as follows: "While we are today celebrating our 60th" anniversary, it appears that the beginnings of Baptist work in this plage go back at least a cen- tury. The matter has not been fully investigated by anybody so far as 1 have been able to discover, but the evidence at presnt available seems to make it fairly clear that there was a Baptist Church in or close to Oshawa'before 1833. When it was organized, or by whom; who were its members, or how many; are facts which do not appear at present, The following may how- ever be briefly mentioned as having some bearing upon the matter. "Dr. T. E. Kaiser, in his Historlc Sketches of Oshawa' records that Rev. Robert H. Thornton, D.D,, of Scotland "prosecuted Presbyterian work for many years in a large area along the north shore of Lake Ontario. The infant Preshyterian church in this locality, under the leadership of Dr. Thornton held its assemblies from 1833 to 1837 in a building known as the Baptist Church on Lot 20, Concession 1. "Our friends of the Simcoe Streed United Church celebrated their Diamond Jubilee in 1928, and In a most interesting booklet pub- lished at that time the writer of the history of that church states that 'the Baptist Church between Oshawa and Whitby was kindly placed at the disposal of the Meth- -odists when they met four times vearly for the administration of the Lord's supper.' This was about sup- 1835, \ : "Doubtless more information may be made-avallable by more in. vestigation than I have been able to do. But what happened to this early Baptist Church, that it does not exist is not clear, Conjectures 2 i. have been offered, hased upon cr- tain Jacke and these conjectures are probably correct; But they are not such that I care to offer them with the meagre evidence at pre- sent know to me. : i The Present Church "The present organization came into 'being on October 11, 1870. At that time a group of people be- longing, it is said, to a local Dis- ciples' Church met in the Corin- thian Hall and resolved 'that still keeping our present faith and practice we join ourselves to the demonination known as regular Baptist.' Oritical examination of the facts would indicate that that was not such a course as would now be considered necessary in order to organize a Baptist Church. However, the minutes of that time are certainly incomplete, and other proceedings may have been had of which no record now remains, A council of neighboring Baptist churches seems to have heen satis- fled withgthe proceedings. "The new organization with a faith and zeal that is remarkable entered upon the construction of a building. It still forms part, and apparently the main part of the Baptist building on King street east, The guilding was dedicated on February 18, .1872, in the course of three meetings, morning, afternoon and evening. Rev, W. 8. Patterson was the pastor at that time. Various Pastors "The church carried on under various pastors for some years. The year 1874 was remarkably fruitful in baptisms, for in that year 24 people joined the church in that way, making a fifty per cent, increas in membership. ghortly afterwards, owigg to finan- cial weakness, the chufch discon- tinued regular meetings for some months, The organization held to- gether, however, for in May 1883 regular services were resumed un- der the leadership of students from the Fyfe Missionary Society of Mec- Master Hall, With their 2id the chureh became stronger again, and in 1888 Rev. T. Brooker of Mount Forest was called to the pastorate. Since that time, with many changes of pastor, and through many difi- culties and vicissitudes the work has continued without interruption. ""The membership has been some- what of a 'procession. Many have come, dismissed from other Baptist churches to the Oshawa church by letter, and many have gone by the same route to other church, These transfers have incinded places geattered over the whole Dominion of Canada, a large number of churches in the United States and Great Britain, and. even oné trans- fer of membership to Australia, On March 3, 1895, at a business meet- ing of the church a remarkable event took place. Sister J. R. Clarke was réceived by letter from Vancouver, B.C., and brother Wil- liam Eaton in the same way from Parrsborongh, N.S, East is east and west is west, and in Oshawa the twain did meet, once at least, A Feeder Church The Oshawa church has thus act- ed as a feeder to other churches. In her history many hundred have 'put on Christ in baptism' within her walls, And a large proportion of them have gone out to witness and work for Him in other places. "In 1913 the old building was re- decorated (not for the first time) and reseated. At the same time a Sunday school section was added at the back, so as to increase the efliciency of the church in religious education of the young. The church has suffered from two schisms, one of they quite re- cent, and well within the memory of most of the present residents of Oshawa, Partly as a result of this, and in order to avoid confusion which might arise from the pre- sence of another Baptist organiza- tion in the city thé name of the original church was changed from Emmanuel Baptist Church to First Baptist Church on October 3, 1928. By this name the church is now known' In spite of its diMcultles, In spite of the severve blows which it has suffered, the First Baptist Church during itg long life has made many contributions to the moral and spiritual uplift of the community, It believes that there is still a most important work for it An do, 2 in this helfef will again gird up its loins and seek to go forward." DE An old gentleman noticed a boy sitting on a bench tnd holding in his hand a large sandwich of bread and ham, From time ot tims the boy would raise a corner of the top layer of the sandwich, take out a small shred of ham, put ft in his mouth, and arrange the sandwich exactly as it had been before, Ho dig this many times, until finally, op ening the sandwich for another bite, he discovered, with evident disappointment, that the filling wae entirely gone. "Why don't you eat it?" asked the 61d gentleman. The boy looked up and ans wered: 'Taint mine!" Two friends met in mid-air, "Fancy mecting you here," cried one. "I am falling from my aero- plane." "That 80?" replied the other, "1 am Hang from my gas stove," -- 88 C, Scotford, Group 81, Toll Poel Estate. ! y % UL | Boddy, DISCUSS ACTION ON HARBOR VOTE (Continued from Page 1) the city's industrial growth material- ly." . "This city has contributed $120, 000,000 to the Dominion exchequer in the last ten ycars and what have we got in réturn?--A one-horse.post of: fice, a custom house, part of it in an abandoned house, and very little on our harbor," he said, The harbor development was very important, arkl should be left to the good judgment of the committee and the Chamber of Commerce directors to decide on the advisibility of a public meeting. Alderman Sulley supported the cominittee's recommendation, declar- ing there would be no harm in call ing -a public meeting. The committee's report was uphehl by Alderman Morris. This city stood to benefit more by a harbor than al- most any other port on the north shore of the lake, he said. Mayor Mitchell recalled that many deputations * had gone to Ottawa without gecuring a harbor, which ef- fectively silenced the clamor for de- putations, he said. He doubted the advantage of a public meeting, bow- ever, as it was not always a good policy to do public business out in a public mecting. While a harbor might not be of a great benefit immediately, it would be of great benefit to the city in the future, especially when: the Welland Canal and the St. Lawrence Water- ways were completed, said Alderman Extension Necessary Further extension of the harbor was necessary, The city council had not done nearly as much {or the har- bor as had the Chamber of Com- merce and other bodies, said Alder- man Macdonald. There should be no objection to the committee's report, for it did not immediately authorize the calling of a public mecting, said Alderman Hawkes. A public meeting was necessary be- cause the city needed, not so much an immediate money appropriation as assurance by the government that the city's proposal for ultimate har- bor devejopment would be proceeded with as it became neccessary. This would give the city 4 reasonable talk- ing point for securing new industries, Alderman lHart declared * Alderman P, A. Macdonald mov ed, secondedb y Alderman Hawkes that the clause be amended to read that the whole city council fhould meet the directors of the "Chamber of Commerce on the questioh. A smaller Committee could work to more advantage than a large body like the council, and would have to report back to the counell in any case, was the opinion of both Alderman Hart and Boddy. Alderman Morris supported Alder- man Macdonald's amendment de- claring that there would be beter results by having the whole coun- cil meet the Chamber of Cqmmerce directors, The amendment carried, ECONOMIC UNITY MEANS DURATION OF BRITISH EMPIRE (Continued from Page 1) tax on some article of food from a foreign country--that whole question Lcan be clearly put before our peo- e. The people would then be able to judge for themselves, and say yes or no. "Believe me," Mr. Baldwin went on, "there is no alternative to a vi- sion of the economic unity of. our empire except its ultimate dissolu- tion, There can be no more vital question than that which Ties before you now, no question, better worth working for because Tt means the ultimate salvation of our own couny try. It means the ultimate duration. of our empire." J In view the unusual political situa- tion the newspapermen were admit. ted to the meeting, though they are usually barred from the central council, 1 in LJ 4 £4 Mr. Baldwin said confidence which had been springing up a year ago had now disappeared. The financial situation was much. graver. Loss of confidence had led to an alarming increase in, unémployrhent.- Conser- vatives, when they assumed o flice, must husband the national resources and stimulate industry. "This "is only to be accomplished by a thorough-going policy of safe- guarding which is more reliable, mere efficient than general protec tion," Mr. Baldwin said. "We must wed imperial policy with domestic policy, I remain unwilling to ask Britons "to give any vote on the question of food taxes unless and until they know exactly what is in- volved and what they may be go- ing to pet in exchange.

B. Pringle Was in 89th Year -- Former Mayor and Business Man One of Whitby's grand old men, in the person of Willam Briggs Prin- le, passed away at his home on undas street cast Monday. after- noon, in his 89th year. He had been ill for only a shart time. The late Mr. Pringle was born in Raglan on April 19th, 184]. AS a young man he taught school in what was then the village of Port Colborne. For a time he also con- ducted a brokerage business on the canal at that village, of which he had. the honor to be reeve for a term. He came to Whitby about fif- ty years ago and for nearly forty years conducted a grocery business. At the time of his retirement a few years ago he was one of the town's oldest and best known merchants. He found time to dewote to the municipality and had the hopor of serving both as mayor and reeve. Today, out of respect to him, the flag flies at half mast at the Town Hall. The late W. _B. Pringleswas a rc- markable man in many ways. Of late years he carried on a very suc- cessful insufance business and never lost a day in business up until his late illness. Almost to the end he re- tained the use of all his facultics, He had a memory which served him well, and in an interesting manner he could discuss the history of the town in which he had hved so long. Heswas a quiet, kindly man, and had a host of friends who deeply regret lis passing. Deceased is survived by two sons, H. L. Pringle, town engineer of Whitby ; Floyd, of Troonto and two daughters, Leulla, of Toronto, and Stella at home. His wife died in 1916. The funegal will be held on Wed- nesday afternoon from his late resi- dence on Dundas street east. Service will be conducted at the house by Rev. A. L. Richards, of the United church, and interment will take place in the Union cemetery. ple in this country and every corner of the empire may look back to in generations to come, as an election where the people of this country fi- nally and ultimately made its decision to be one with its kindred over- seas."

There were several commiunications and committee reports, and deputations were heard. Regulate Junk Yards Council voted to endorse a peti- tion to be made to the Ontario Government by the town of Leam- ington asking that the Statute he amended to give towns and villages power to regulate the establish ment of automobile wrecking shons and junk yards. At present only cities have this power, Mayor Bowman pointed out that in Whitby at present located on a front street there was a junk yard, on a small scale which was very un- sightly. He felt that no harm could come from edorsinz #he town of Leamington's request, Reeve Jackson Council endorse the request that the clerk write to W. E. N.

Help Hockey Teams On the request of J.J. King, of the Junior hockey team, and New- ton Joynt, of the Intermediate team, the use of the Town Hall for a Minstrel show on March 17 at the reduced rate of $7.60 was 'granted. The 'show is being held under the joint auspices of both teams to raise money to wipe out deficits ingurred during the sea- son's operations. A request from the Bell Tele- phone Company of Canada for per- mission to open up streets and erect, poles in various parts of the town was referred for considera- tion to a special committee of W. J. Davidson, chairman of streets, iI! Mayor Bowman and Town En- | gineer H, L. Pringle. The Company presented blue prints showing. the location of the proposed new poles, and Reeve Jackson thought that be- should be thoroughly investigated. Police Report The Police report for the month of February showed a number of cases prosecuted and fines of $50 | levied, with $40 of this amount out- | standing to be collected for March - The chief explained that in one or || two cases where fines were levied by the magistrate, time for pay- | ment had been extended.
