A. tewart, received a few days ago by Mayor C. E. Bowman, is final. The need for economy is given as the reason for not including Whitby har- bor in the estimates soon to be tabl- ed in the House of Commons at Ot- wa. Last week, following a special meeting of the Council, Mayor Bow- man despatched the following night letter to the Honorable Mr, Stew- "With further reference to our re- quest for the extension of the break- water and dredging at Whitby har- bor, made at the time of your per- sonal inspection here last fall, also our letter of October 9, 1930, we are confidently expecting that you will be ple: to place an amount in the estimates soon to be brought down to cover these much needed repairs, Water in the harbor is now only about eight feet, and going down. Please advise if any further inform- ation from us will be of service. / The Minister's Reply On Saturday' Mayor Bowman re- ceived a letter from Honorable Mr, Stewart, which speaks for itself. It follows: Dear Mr. Mayor: "I have your telegram of the 24th Making representations in con- nection with the harbor improve- ments at Whitby. An item for this work was under tonsideration in the preparation of our estimates, but ng to the ne- cessity for drastic revision and the cutting down of expenditures during the current year, I am afraid that it will not be possible for the govern- ent to Provide for the work at the ort of Whitby in the estimates of the Department for the coming fis- cal year. H. A. Stewart. What action will be taken by the le authorities in view of this let- is not yet certain. The Chamber Bn Fired TI on whic 8 ou breallewater construstion is wot pe ceeded al e money alrea expended there will be wasted. This resolution will come f » the Council, but in view of the Phistors decision it hardly seems ly that any. on will be taken him, The town's only hope is that with further representations to the minister an amount may-be included in the supplementary estimates. ALL SAINTS' AY.P.A. Monday evening next will be a banner night when Magistrate Jones, of Toronto, the eminent authority on wild flowers, will give an address, il- lustrated by coloured lantern slides on this subject. The A.Y.P.A. ex- tends a general invitation to any and all who wish to attend to come and enjoy this lecture. A silver eol- lection will be taken in aid of the Bullaimg Fund for the new Parish ALL SAINTS' EVENING BRANCH TO HOLD CONCERT A concert, full of surprises, is ised for next Wednesday even- ng, when an evening of splendid en- tertainment will be given, under the sponsorship of the Ev Branch of the Women's Auxiliary, The pur- yose of this concert is to provide funds for the social service work carried on by this branch, and also WATER LEVEL IN WHITBY HARBOR LOWEST IN YEARS The water level in the hare bor at Port Whitby is now less than eight feet in depth, and old residents state that this is the lowest in many years. The reason given is the drought of last summer and fall, when for several weeks practically no rain fell. The water is so low that boats will have great difficulty in coming in. Similar reports are coming from various harbor ports on the great lakes, and also river points. The need for dredging at Whitby harbor was never greater than today, that is if the government intends to con tinue recognition of the fact that the harbor is one of the best on the north shore. The result of the drought of last year is also seen in + the marsh lands. = CHECKERS ARE MOVING Never before perhaps were check- ers moving as they are now. The boards in two barber shops and one garage are kept busy and the check- er club rooms are being used almost every week day afternoon and even- ing.

A large attendance of members prospective members is requested. by MAY NOW BE Ci rots JE Eo Passer 'With the ice gone, and no pros- pect of a play-off between the Tuxis and the Butchers in the Whitby Town Hockey League, the former can now be assumed to be the champions. There was some talk of a play-off in the Oshawa arena, but this seems highly im- probably. The Tuxis entered the League very confidently and while for a time the Butchers wielded the scepire of supremacy, the Tuxis by a steady process of im- provement game after game came out winners. They are to be con- gratulated, The League produced some good hockey last winter and it is to be hoped that early next winter organization will be under- taken, also that for the summer tho same teams will enter the field of softball.

March 29, Instead of welcoming the great company promoter with an effusive smile the eminent financier's of- fice boy continued to blubber so damply that an enquiry was in- evitable. "Been pinchin' stamps was the sobbing answer "an' the boss is 'going tor have me locked up." The great company promoter stepped softly into the sanctum. "You're going to have your boy ar- rested, he tells me," he observed, after! talking about the weather, borrowing half a million, and mak- ing an appointment for lunch, The eminent financier nodded grimly. "I shouldn't," said the other, in his best insinuating manner; "'af- ter all, we all started in quite a small way, didn't we?" is indebted to H. A.

The first two days of the month have at least been notable for the inter- mittent showers that have drifted over the province, On one occasion last night the rain was interspersed with a wet snow that melted as fast as it fell The rain has had one detrimental effect, that being that the highways have been made slip- pery and hazardous for driving at any speed, 'I'hree or four telephone poles have been broken off by vehj- cles that did not cxercise the neces- sary cares HOLY TRINITY SERVICES The three hour service will be held in Holy Trinity Church, corner Court and Barrie, Good Friday from 12 to 3 pm.

BROWN SEES MARKED IMPROVEMENT (Continued from page 1) the year. The public apperaed to be in a buying frame of mind and showed particular interest in the models of Canadian-made cars. Many of the purchasers paid cash for their cars, which is in itself a good indication of the general improvement in business. "During the week of the Spring dealer showings of new cars in Toronto, 199 General Motors cars were sold, Sales of higher priced cars in Montreal also revealed an increase of 100 per cent, over last year, and the reports from Winni- peg are equally encouraging. Sentiment Improves "In fact, rpeorts of increased activity in the automobile industry in all parts of Canada have great- ly improved the sentiment in busi- ness circles," Mr. Brown pointed out, "and in this progress towards better times, the Canadian auto- mobile industry will undoubtedly lead the way. The volume of busi- ness offering in all parts of Can- ada to date has been amazing, It has been a volume only equalled by the record of 1928, when (ieneral Motors of Canada pro- duced 100,000 cars. Mr. Brown drew attention to the "Forward Canada" movement that is being backed by the leading in- dustrial organizations of Canada and declared that it would soon make itself felt, by pointing the way to greater prosperity, in every territory of the Dominion. The idea behind this industrial ef- fort, he said, was one he was heartily in acdord with; and Gen- eral Motors of Canada had been proud to identify itself with such a plan that will help spread the message of Canada's vast strength he pointed out, would tend to unite all the forces at the com: mand of Canadians and not help but lead the way to bet- ter times, The reporter was interviewing the famous film actress.

'Personally, I have been, am, and am going to be--married." here also, and much sympathy is ex- pressed for the bereaved. A quiet wedding was celebrated on Saturday last, at the bride's home, by Rev.

The poet of 'Abbey Dawn is only a poet, while Jack Miner is a poet and a practical man, He knows the spuri- ous and the cannibals from the beau- tiful and useful.

There were 26 speeches in all and no two were the same although two or three spoke on the same subject. Each subject was handled exceptionally well and the deliver- ance was better than was noticed at the High School contests some weeks ago. Even those from the junior forms in the school showed no trace of fright but were able to deliver their subject in a way which was a credit to the teachers and the students themselves, The winners were as follows, Junjor 3rd girls, Helen Cotton: Junior 3rd boys, Jack Honeyman; Senior 3rd girls, Senfor 3rd boys, Junior 4th girls, Florence Hoop- er; Junior 4th boys, Fred Neal; Senior 4th girls, Grace Rundle; Senfor 4th boys," Bob Clark, The Donald Mason; and potential greatness. The move, {subject spoken on by the winner order Paul's were, Cath- their respective of St. in I the Flag', 'Natural Resources t Canada", "The Capture of Que- bee', 'Public Schools ¢y' Ontario',' "The Young Citizen and his flaz and Unemployment". The latter address showed hours of study by this contestant and was heartily applauded at its conclusion. In- terspersed with the program of speeches were musical numbers. The meeting opened with *O Can- ada" and was followed by a chor- us of about 25 singing 'Bluebirds their songs are telling" and "Lbve- ly Spring". Half way through the program the chorus again render- ed "Who is Sylvia' and the close three choruses from II Trovatore were sung by the chorus, Murray Mitchell and Russell also con- tributed a very fine duet entitled "Spring"'.
