Jand, where children irremediably crippled for life shall be cared for and trained, first, for happiness, and second, for useful citizenship. Praises B.T.S. Hon. Mr. Martin gave high praise to the Children's Ald So- ciety of the united counties, men- tioning particularly Rev. 1. A Daley, D.D., the superintendent, and lauded the splendid work be- ing accomplished at the Bowman- ville Boys' Training School. Serious conditions of child ne- glect in the united counties of Northumberland and Durham to- gether with a growing problem of illegitimacy, were brought to the attention of the Children's Ald So- piety at its annual meeting in St. Peter's parish hall Wednesday af- ternoon by Rev. James T. Daley, D.D., the superintendent, in his Jeyeport. "Conditions are not cleared up 'despite the prosperity and good- 'will of this district," Dr. Daley de- clared. He also asserted that the sta? of the institution for special work is only half the size recent. ly recommended by the Ross re- port of the Ontario government. The past year, he continned, saw B06 complaints involving neglected or delinquent children investigat- ed. Only 18, however, were made wards of the Society. There were 136 court attendance cases and the superintendent held 1,100 inter. views and travelled some 10.000 miles in his work. Finances The treasurer's report showed receipts of $6,811.09, and expendl- tures totalling $6,680.43. The: meeting was shadowed by ithe death on Tuesday of Dr. E. A. Totten, of Port Hope, who has been treasurer of the soclety for 8 years and for the past 12 years 'has given free dental service to the children in the shelter. He will be buried today and the execu- tive of the soclety, exclusive of Harold Fulford, the president, who tis quite ill, will attend, I: + Staft Praised * High praise was given in re.

POPPY DAY FUND _ HAS REACHED $207 Canadian Legion Is Grateful to Bowmanville , Citizens The first b \ The report of the Poppy and Memorial Fund committee of the Bowmanville branch of the Can- ,adian Legion as issued by Major Frederick Moody, chairman, is as 'follows: . ._ The committee in charge of the Poppy and Memorial Day activl- ties, is now in a position to make a report on their stewardship, but as contributions are still coming to 'hand it must bo considered in the mature of an interim report. Theirs is a feeling of grateful. 'ness to think that the citizens of Bowmanville and vicinity are, so conscious of the need as to respond 'nobly to this appeal. And while 'the collections on Poppy Day, Nov. '8, might have been greater had the full staff of canvassers mater- "falized, it 1s felt that this, our first appeal, has been responded to most creditably. ' " Tollowing 18 a statement of re- ceipts: -- Poppy Box collection, $173.03; Anonymous, $1.00; Com. al Herbert Mortlock Generous Grant For the Crippled is Promised by Public Welfare Minister panions of /the Forest, $2.00; Couch, Johnston and Cryderman, $6.00; 1.0.0.F., $5.00; Jerusalem Lodge, AF. & AM, $5.00; F. ¥.

In addition grateful acknowl- edgement must be made for the following welcome contributions: Glen Rae Dairy, $5.00 milk tick. ets; F. C. Vanstone, 200 lbs. flour, While the aims and objects of this special fund are generally known, may we repeat that it was raised to relieve any pressing dis- tress among ex-service men of Bowmanville and vicinity, -- a measure of relief that might oth. erwise fall on the respective muni- cipalities. This assistance ig to. be given in the form provisions, fuel, rent, clothing, meals, accommoda- tion for transients, etc., but only after careful investigation. There are no administration expenses to this fund, as all investigation and other services are rendered .gra- tuitously. In consequence, apart from the cost of the poppies, and a small matter of postage, the bulk of the fund is available for relief. And even in the purchase of the pop- ples themselves, there is a further relief as these poppies are produe- ed by crippled veterans in the Vet- craft shops, a number of mon be. ing employed throughout the year as the result of your generosity, Your Legion is indeed grateful for your splendid and timely as- sistance, GOOD-BYE MEANT SILENCE Not long ago there was some- thing rather {irrevocable in the sound of the word "Good-bye." It signified a long period of absence-- and silence. Now that is all chang- ed. Long Distance telephoning brings back the absent voice, and So ye is so much easier to WELFARE WORK IN MANITOBA GIVEN HIGHEST TRIBUTE Child Welfare Leader Gives Review of Progress Made (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Winnipeg, Dec. 4.--Paying high tribute to the work which has heen done in the interests of welfare work in Manitoba by Hon, E. W. Montgomery, the province's first minister of public health, Misg Mil- dred McMurray, LL.B., head of the legal branch of the child welfare department, gave a resume of the progress in child welfare work ir Manitoba, in an address before the Caledonjan Club. Contrasting the ideals of humanity of today and one hundred years ago Miss Mc- Murray instanced that at that time, in England, every child over four years of age was estimated to be self-supporting; that in the fac- tories children labored from b o'clock in the morning till 8 o'clock at night,, with one hour off for meals, and on Sundays worked from 6 to 12 In the morning clean ing the machinery. children were apprenticed out, Te- ceiving no remuneration for their work, and provision for the em- ployment of mental defectives was made in a law which required évery employer to employ one "idiot" to every 20 normal workers. The first step in Manitoba's child welfare history had been taken in 1917, when a commission was ap- pointed to investizate child welfare legislation in various parts of the world. The Child Welfare Act of 1922, she declared, was a monu- ment to the vision and statesman- ship of those who designed it. It was redrafted and proclaimed in September, 1924. Not long after, the machinery was found to be in- adequate, and in September, 1927, a ministr of health was appointed, The department was the most im- portant and at the same time thé most difficult one in the provincial government, The next step in the development of the department, was the investi- gation and report of Miss Charlotte Whitton, director of child welfare for the Dominion in 1928. On her recommendation the department was divided into three branches: that of Mothers' allowances, headed by Miss Gertrude Childs; child care and protection, under Miss Elsie Lawson, and the legal department, ot lel Miss McMurray is the ead, SPECIAL CHRISTMAS PROGRAM PLANNED Lucerpe-in-Quebec, Dec. 4. -- Music will ring through the rafters of the Log Chateau here at Christ. mastide according to arrangements that have been made by the Cana. dian Pacific Railway music depart- ment in connection with the festi- vities which open three weeks from today. The Children of His Majesty's Chap! Royal Savoy will be here to sing, ladies from the Margaret Ea- {the festivities. Workhouse ton School, Toronto, will take part in old English country dances and old French dances will be danced by the Disciples of Massenet from Montreal. The Bytown Trouba '| dours, a male quartette which has already made a name for itself in musical circles, will be here at the same time. ; It is planned that the old flavor Christmas shall characterize all Music, menus, and mummers will all ensure it and the atmosphere of the cabin will lend itsel? to the idea, of RADIOLOGY NEW AIDTO BEAUTY Is Great Help in Removing "Scars Left by Accidents Los Angeles, Cal., Dec. 4.--Ra- diology as hand-maid to beauty has given new hope te women suffering from defacing scars, and may soon offer extensive service in facial re- storation, sald Dr. Benjamin H. Sherman of Hollywood, California, before the Radiological Soclety of North, America, Automobile acel- dents, burns and other injuries are the sources of defacing scars or ke- loids, to the removal of which sci- ence now turns the beneficence of X-rays and radium. Consequently men and women otherwise possibly defaced for life by accidents, may have hope for recovery of lost bodi- ly beauty. This is not possible in all cases, Dr. Sherman said, as some injuries leave marks that baffle all efforts. However, the marking of the keloid, derived from the Greek word mean- ing clawlike, extends over healthy tissue beyond the borders of the scar, and here it is that radiology will offer restoration of lost come- liness. "Burns about the mouth, eyelids, nose, neck, ete." Doctor Sherman said, 'may completely change the patient's looks or ex- pression, generally to his detri- ment." WOMEN ENJOYING THEIR FREEDOM Are Found Making Good in Nearly Every Line of Work Vancouver, Dec.4.--A Vancouver lady who has been in London for some years gives in the local press, some of her observations, Women are taking advantage of their free- dom and are making good in nearly every line of work. There is a ten- denicy to spoil home life a little in this, the wife having her engage- ments and the husband his, which means that they have little in com- mon. Women's organizations and men's are still usually kept quite distinct, with ocacsionaly a straf representative of the opposite sex on the boards of each, but closer co-operation will come. It is pathetic to visit mental hos- pitals and note the youth of the patients. A new system is being tried with great success in many of the asylums now. The padded cell is used as a boxroom, and patients on their worst days are calmed by very hot baths. CANADA MAY DEFER Revision Likely to be Less Than Expected Owing to Empire Parley Ottawa, Dec, 4.--Although much material has been assembeld, the latest indications are that, at the next session of Parliament, no ex- tensive revision of the tariff may take place. At the emergency session in Sep- tember the fairly definite promise was made of a full revision at the regular session, suplementing that which was then undertaken. This was before the Imperial conference assembled in London. What has oc- curred there, it 1s held, has changed the situation very materially. Instead of coming to any conclu- sion, the conference, in place of breaking up abruptly, adjourned to meet here in Ottawa sometime with- fn 12 months. No definite date wad set and opinions as to when it will, vary all the way from June to October. The British and. Dominion Governments and their respective conveniences must all be consulted. But whenever the conference does resume, the proposals to come be- fore it once again may affect the whole fiscal structure, not only of Canada but, as well, of all the Do- minions. This fact suggests the strong likelihood that the Government may go slow on tariff revision next ses- sion because the conclusion of the conference may affect the whole business and anything decidea meanwhile, might very well have to be gone over again. While this does not mean that the tariff will 'not be dealt with next session, it suggests that any extensive revision is improbable and that the changes, except in certain instances, hay more likely partake of the character of adjustments, Securing Hydrometric Data In the planning of any water power development it is essential to know two things; first, the head or fall available at the site, and sec- ond, the flow of the water that may be depended upon at all times. The work of securing such water supply records, without which no water- power development cap be intelli- gently designed, Is on the pri. mary functions of t Dominion Water Power and Hydrometric Bus reau of the Department of the In- terior. INSURED VETERAN AWARDED VERDICT Interesting Case Is Decided Against Insurance Company Montreal, Dec, 4.--An accident and sickness insurance policy taken out by Alex. Vasvari was not in- validated for failure of the assured to state that he had suffered a gun- shot wound in the Great War, be- cause at the time of taking the pol- fcy he was ignorant of any {ll ef- fects from the injury, Mr. Justice Lane decided in the Superior Court in maintaining an action for $350 against the Continental Casualty Company. Vasvarl, a Hungarian laborer, was insured by the company against sickness and accident on August 8, 1928, and 10 days later, suffered a hemorrhage while carrying a stone weighing between 90 and 100 pounds. It was subsequently found that the hemorrhage came from the lung which had been injured in the war, The company submitted that the assured had failed to disclose his nshysical condition fully and that had he done so, the policy woula not have been issued. Mr. Justice ILdne pointed out that the man had undergone five medical examina- tions before admission to Canada and as he was not ailing in any way, was not conscious of any {ll effects of the war wound. MORF, POWER I USED BY MINES Canada Northern Power Manager Tells of Success FULF TARIFF PLANS Montreal, Dec. 4.--Success 'of ~pld and other mining operations in Northern Ontario and Quebec fis indicated by increased consump- tion of hydro-electric power, with vhich thé various camps are now bountifully supplied. Bailey V. Har- rison, vice-president and general manager of Canada Northern Pow- er Corporation, Limited, points to ings, Canade Northern er Cor- poration has experience. a record year, and is now splendidly equip- ped to take full advantage of the further industrial development of that great northern territory. BETTERNENT IS GENERAL TRADE Improved Demand Is Re- ported For Seasonal Lines Montreal, Dec. 4--Although the period is approaching when trade statistics will make less unfavor- able comparison with those of the preceding year, that period has not been reached, as yet. A general improvement, however, is noted in the wholesale and retail in seasonal lines. Extensive advertising and attractive prices offered on many items by the large stores have had their appeal to shoppers, and the aggregate volume of business has been heavy, according to dispatches to Dun"s Review from branch of- fices of R, G. Dun & Co. located in the chief commercial and industrial centres of the Dominion. Travellers covering the Western Provinces re- nort fair-sized orders from the large dealers for spring deliveries, with a certain percentage for immediate placement. Seasonal hardware is moving fairly well in some sections, and manufacturers of skiis and other winter sports equipment are active. Fal lines of sporting goods also are n good demand, and standard lines of silverware have a fair market, al- though jewellery sales are generally off. Flour, paper, lumber and iron and steel still are in an unsatisfac- tory position, but expansion js re ported in textiles, where prospects are brighter than for the past sev- eral years, Shoe factories in the Maritimes and Quebec are operat- 'ng at around 60 per cent. of capa- #ity, with the bulk of orders for im- mediate delivery, but seasonal slack is appearing in the Ontario indus- tty, with a consequent decline in de- | mand for hides and leather, De- mand for heavy machinery is off, "nd dullness continues in the agri- cultural implement and automotive industries. At a time when the prices fo: grains, and other farm products have been declining rapidly, live- rtock prices have shown outstana- ing strength, At present prices, it is decidedly more profitable for the farmer to export his grain in the form of cattle, cheese and bacon than to attempt to sell grain in a world market burdened with sur- plus supplies from many countries. Nuring the past few weeks, ship- mente of live cattle from Canada to (ireat Britain have been resumed fier a lapse of three years. The 'celine in Canada's export trade in animal products has been due part- Iv to the great incrense in domestic requirements. This has heen large {this fact in a statement in which he | points out that with mines produc- ing at a greater capacity than ever before econo ie conditions are, per- haps, more favorable than in any other part of the country. "Qutput of electric. power," Mr, "Tarrison added, "ls an unfailing in- dex of business conditions, The out- nut of Canada Northern Power Cor- noration's plants shows a very sub. tantial increase over last year and is now at a record figure. Just a week ago the company brought into operation the newly-constructed Upper Notch power plant, which was designed and constructed under the supervision of the engineering division of Power Corporation of Canada Limited, The capacity of this plant in 13,000 h.p., and it is interesting to note that additiona) power requirements to meet the ex- nansion programs of several of the major mining properties served by the company, as well as the consis- tent demand for more power for domestic and commercial purposes, will absorb the complete output of the Upper Notch plant. "During the past month the new mill at the Dome Mine was put in operation. The former mill was de- stroyed by fire 12 months ago, but in spite of the loss in power load from this important customer, pow- ar output throughout the year was 'nereased, The decision of the Dome Tine 'directors to construct a new mill, together with the new and 'arger mill being built at the Mec- Intyre mine, are outstanding dem- snetrations of confidence in the fu- ture of the Porcupine camp, "Extensive additions to the mill. ing capacity of the Lake Shore and Teck Hughes gold mines have eith- er been recently completed or are now nearing completion, while satisfactory conditions continue to nrevail in the Rouyn district, "During the past 12 months the number of customers served by the company increased by néarly 400, bringing the total to about 10,300. Two months ago the company con- ducted a successful customer own- ership campaign--the third in three years, As a result of these cam- palgns the company has over 4,000 customers who are preferred share- holders, uniting with the company in furthering the interests of the whole territory, "An interesting development dur- ing the past year has been the ag- gressive campaign's electric appli- ance stores thus adding materially to the company's power demand, as well as diversifying the load. "In point of customers served, output of power, and gross earn- REGENT NOW!

REWARD TO LEWES LAUDED BY PASTOR First Fruits of American Re- naissance, Just Starting, He Says New York; Dec. 4.--The award of the Nobel prize in literatune to Sin- clair Lewis is among the first fruits of an American renaissance, just étarting, which during the present century will result in the produc- tion of great masterpieces for pos- terity, Dr. Charles Frances Potter, pastor of the First Humanist Church, said. Dr, Potter,took issue with Dr. Henry Van Dyke, of Princeton Uni- versity, who held that to give the Nobel award to the author of such 'works as "Flmer Gantry," "Bab bitt" and "Main Street" was a "Blackhanded compliment" to this country. "The first fruits of our literary renaissance are evident in the works of such authors as Lewis, to whom the Nobel prize has justly been a- warded," said Potter. "The Euro- pean recognition has been rather peevishly characterized by Dr Hen- ry Van Dyke as an 'insult' to Amer- ica and a 'backhanded complinient' to the country, "Was Dr. Van Dyke {irritated by Elmer Gantry? Surely this eriti- cism is most provincial and narrow minded. The prize was not given to show us up as a nation of Bab- bitts, but as a tribute to our intele lectual maturity, evidenced by our new capacity for self appraisal. "When a group of our authors admits that there are Babbitts among us, and several hundred thousands of us buy and read their books, we have taken the first step to remédy our Babbitism, and when the Swedish Academy gives its a- ward ,to the greatest of those aue thors it is honoring America as well as the American author."
