Ci Bull Trenton.--The cement piers which will carry the pillars of the new cold storage plant were run iths week and the interior of the stone walled enclosure is being washed down with hose reparatory to pouring the ce- ent for the strenthening of the walls, Rain Had No Effect Almonte.--A threatening sky failed to dampen the ardor of local Orangemen who gathered here on Saturday to make the Lanark County celebration one of tite most successful on record. Hundreds of Orangemen from all over the county united to cele- brate the "Glorious Twelfth" on the 241st anniversary of the bat- tle of the Boyne. The parade was one of the largest ever held in this town. Threats of rain had no visible effect upon the attend- ance of the paraders, and prac- tically all of the various county lodges were present.

Mr, Lee's loss will be heavy but he carried insur- ance, Farm implements stored in the barn were also destroyed, with about fifty tons of hay and two hundred bushels of grain. GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL BUT * FIND NO WORK Family Welfare Associ- ation Faces Problem in Montreal ontreal, July 15 -- Hundreds of Montreal boys and girls graduating from High School a short time ago are ready to earn their own living but can find nothing to do. The Family Welfare Association which supports several hundred families where the father is either unem- ployed, disabled or dead has had the problem of what is to be done with these young people, brought vividly before it' recently. "It has always been our proud boast that the boys and girls who had been to the technical school were placed as a general rule be- fore they left the institution," G. B. Clarke, reneral secretary of the Family Welfare Association, stated lately. "This year this group of haven do not appear to find a job any easier of attainment than do those who have finished elementary school," he added. To understand the seriousness of the situation, the case of a girl, of 14, might be cited as typical of many which confront social service workers at this time. The girl in question is tall, thin and overgrown in fact. Her father has been out of work for almost a year. Her mo- ther, who has borne many children, goes out to work by the day when- ever she can get it to do. e Fa- ig Welfare suggested that the girl who had finished school take a place as a nurse-maid. She was ven full charge of a baby. She had the baby's washing to do, rather a stiff task to set a youngster. The mo- ther of the infant played golf all day and if the child cried at night the little nurse-maid was expected to get up and attend to his wants, The 14-year-old became discour- aged, as a much older person might do under similar circumstances, and returned home. "I don't want to take care of babies for a living, my mother has always had them and 1 have always had to look after them. Please find me something else to do," the child pleaded with the Fa- ily Welfare representative. he next place of employment was a restaurant, where the little girl carried heavy trays for the wait- resses and received $16 a month and her food. There were branches in other parts of the city, and she was often sent to them at rush hours. The child seldom spent less than 50 cents a day for carfare. Frequent- ly. it was midnight when she reached home. Her father natur- ally objected to such hours for a child. Then the manager of the restaurant told the girl that she was not strong enough for the work, and now she is at home n, and her home is not a happy place. The condition of affairs described would seem to point to two great neéds in the community. First of all, that something should be done to train little girls who have to work, for the kind of work that people will be willing to give them, the association claims, The second great need is the continued support of social agencies which devote themselves to character building -- such as the settlement houses and the parks and playgrounds. Chil- dren cannot be left to their own devices if they are later to develop into solid law-abiding citizens, was argued. Y.M.C.A. Brings 1,500 Delegates to Toronto (By The Canadian Press) Toronto, Ont, July 15 -- For the, first time in history Canada will entertain an international parliament of youth when the World Conference of the Young Men's Christian Association meets here, July 27 to August 2. Registrations so far include 42 from Czechoslovakia, 37 from In- cia, 34 from Japan, 30 from Chi- na, 26 from Hungary, 26 from Sweden, 23 from Denmark, and 21 from Mexico. Other countries to be represented will include Australia, Belgium, Bulgaria, Egypt, Esthonia, Finland, Greece, Holland, Italy, Korea, Latvia, Norway, Poland, Roumania, Sy- ria, Siam, Spain, Turkey, and many South American republics. The vast continent of Africa will be represented by white men and black men. Even Russia will not be without delegates at the Conference. All previous meetings have been held in Europe, the last be- ing at Helsingfors, Finland, in 1926. Six hundred delegates come from countries outside Can- ada and the United States-- nine hundred from the Y.M.C.A. organizations of this continent. The Toronto meeting will be divided into two parts, one for boys apprcaching manhood and the other for young men. On August 2 the conference will ad- journ to meet for another week in Cleveland, In this way for- eign delegates will be given an opportunity to study the life of both the United States and Can- ada, Not only the boys and young men of more than 50 different countries will attend the confer- 'ence, but many older leaders in religious and philanthropic enter- prise. Outstanding among these is Dr. John R. Mott, president of the World Alliance of the Y.M.C. A, Already famous for his lead- ership of foreign missionary cam- paigns, Dr, Mott distinguished himself during the great war hy his organization of Y.M.C.A. work among the allied armies. He was made a Knight of the Le gion of Honour by France and his own government rewarded him with the Distinguished Service Medal. Soon after the opening of the Conference a fire will be lighted on the grounds and kept burning until ten o'clock Sunday night, August 2, When all delegates have lighted their "friendship torches" the fire will be extin- guished, the ashes buried, and the torches carried to the far cor- ners of the earth to light other fires of friendship. An effort is being made to consolidate the Y M.C.A, as a great instrument of international peace and bro- therhood. WALTER HAGEN CAPTURES TITLE (Continued from page 6) Not until Alliss had tried--and fajled--to sink his last putt on the last green, however, did the redoubtable Hagen feel the satis- faction of winning the, one cham- pionship which he had never won before and for which he had striv- en for many years, e 18th green finally failed the stocky British = professional from the Wannsee Club, Berlin, and his bold bid for a birdie three to tie Hagen was vain. itied h Popularity favored h' play- ers; cheers rose equally for one or other as they stroked powerful and perfect shots fo the smoothly rolling greens. Hundreds of Unit- ed States tourists, whose numbers had been swelled by many visitors who came for the play-off, cheered the Haig'to vietory. Many Cana dians favored Al and ter were reinforced by hundreds of British fans, who hoped the ti- tle would be wrested from its 13 years of United States possession and taken a Briton--even though it would not go to British 80 The largest gallery ever to wit- ness a Canadian tournament fol- lowed the contestants. It was es- timated by Royal Canadian Golf officials 'that 6.000 persons toiled over the course under the blazing sun; hills were covered with waves of color as women attired in bright. sports clothing attired the progress of the fight. Fortune ebbed and flowed for both players. Hagen appeared in the afternoon in white flannel long trousers, white shirts, and a white felt hat which perched on the side of his head. He started --and ended----his afternoon with the mien of a man who was out to win, oblivious of galleries and cheers. Alliss played the cool, nonchalant game which had mark- is prowess through the tour- nament from the start. Has Held Many Titles Hagen has held the British United States and French open ti- tles as well as the U.S.P.G.A. crown, but the best ha had been able to do in previous attempts to win the Canadian title was to tie with Mac Smith and Archie Comp- ston in the 1928 tourney at Rose- dale. His ability at match play, recognized as being as good as-- it not better than--any other player, stood him in good stead in yesterday's brilliant play-off for the throne vacatea on Saturday by Tommy Armour. It enabled the United States to lengthen the domination the pros from that country have enjoyed nunhrolenly since Donglag Figor woe tn © 00 at Hamilton. It was the thir teenth consecutive \.ciu,, J professional from the United States and the fifteenth since the Sbalapionanip was inaugurated in While yesterday's play-off was of the medal play variety it prac- tically developed into a match play sctruggle, punctuated by many brilliant shots, dnd undeci- ded until Alliss had missed his bid for a birdie three on the last hole of afternoon round. Hagen's total for the two rounds was three under par and Alliss' was but one more. "Because I was seven before I was four score, sir," was the inno- cent reply. Only war heroes are employed as waiters at a certain actresses' club in Paris. None but the brave serve the fair. ISSUES T0 BE DETERMINED IN P.L.1. CONTEST Vigorous Attack on Policies of Government by Opposi- tion Met by Energetic Defence of Lea Ad- ministration Charlottetown, PEL July 15--(By Reuben MacDonald, Canadian Press Correspondent)--With August 6 set as the date for voting in the prov- incial elections of Prince Edward Island, and with a full list of can- didates nominated by the two pol- itjcal parties involved, the election campaign is now in full swing and the electorate finds itself confront- ed with a Liberal defense of Prem- jer Walter M. Lea's administration during the past four years, and a Conservative attack by forces un- der the leadership of Hon. J. D. Stewart, who was Prime Minister before the Province overwhelming- ly endorsed the issue of protibition and other policies of the Liberal arty in the general election of lz Liberal appeals emphasize the fact that Premier Lea, who also holds the portfolio of Agriculture, is the first farmer to become Prime Min- ister of a Province in which 85 per cent of the people are engaged in agriculture and a larger per cent dependent upon that industry, « he financial position of Prince Edward Island and the roads policy of the Government are important factors in the Liberal campaign. While the other Canadian provinces excepting Quebec, . had large defi- cits last year and made big addi tions got e public debt, this prov. ince had a surplus on current ac- count of rgore than $15,000 and her per capita debt is the smallest of any province in the Dominion, de- clare Liberal candidates. Through the use of modern mac- hinery, the purchase of which was a far larger mileage of better roads was improved at a lower cost than under the previous Conservative ad- ministration, it is claimed. Prem- jer Lea contends that when the previous government had the advan- {RS fodersi Highway, Grant, the the e roads cost from $2000 to $3000 3 mile, whereas the present regime without the advantage of such ai and dependent entirely on ordinarv revenue, had widened and otherwise improved the roads by the the new power machinery at a cos usive of ocncrete culverts, o t $250 a mile. Gravelling of e roads, construction of concrete culverts, steel bridges and other perman: charged to capital expenditure. To meet this, the Receipts Jom motor vehicle li- the provincial . Liberals claim that the budget of Hon. R. B, Bennett meant unwarranted ad- ditional taxes on the people and that he failed to carry out a pledge to give the Island an additional grant of a million dollars, as well as a three million dollar highway. Fail- ure of the Dominion Government to fulfill an alleged promise to pay 100 per cent of the ocst of old age pensions, and lower prices for but- ter, eggs, potatoes and other pro- ducts are being .used as weapons against the Conservatives. Following Premier Bennett's an- nouncement that he would pay 75 er cent of old age pensions, Mr. tewart declared that if elected his government would pay the remain- ing 25 per cent. He stated a belief that a suffiicent amount of money had been "squandered" on roads by the present administration to have met the expenditure for these pen- sions. At the last legislative ses- sion, Premier Leu's government put through legislation enabling the Province to take advantage of any pensions measure enacted by the Dominion Parliament Conservatives take the ground that the Government has been un- duly extravagant in its public works policy, that the large amount of money spent on roads has been wasted and that a large amount of the increase in the public debt has been unnecessary. They are attack- ing the Government for not secur- ing a final settlement of the federal subsidy as recommended in the Duncan report. The opposition charge the Liberals let a golden op- portunity pass to secure a proper settlement before the economic de- pression depleted the federal reven- ues. The Liberals maintain the psychological moment did not arrive for reeciving an increased subsidy until 'after the western provinces were given their natural resources. A similar attitude taken by the Preimer of Nova Scotia is referred to. Conservatives also declare the Government has failed to implement the recommendations of the Mac- | millan Education Commission whereby the Department of 'Educa- tion was to be reorganized and var- wus improvements made in the sys- tem. Prohibition is not figuring as pro- minently as it did in the elections of 1927. Conservatives, contending the Government has failed to enforce the Prohibition Act and keep its alleged promise of making the prov- ince "bone dry." point to a state- ment made a vear ago by Hon. A. C. Saunders, former Liberal prem- ier, to the effect that it was im- possible to cope with the activities of the bootleggers. More liquor than ever is being sold, it is said, and bootlegging is still rampant. Liberals, however, contend that there has been a marked improve- ment in temperance, that the Gov- ernment has carried out its pledges to the temperance people and that it has been making an honest and determined effort to enforce the Prohibition Act. Mr. Stewart announced that he had accepted the verdict of the peo- ple in favor of prohibition as re- gistered in the general elections of 1927, and in the plebiscite two years later, and that if elected he would make no change in the law unless given the people's consent. RURAL DRIFT T0 CITIES IS PLAINLY SHOWN BY GENSUS European Population in South Africa Increases in Urban Areas Alone Pretoria, South Africa, July 15-- Significant of the drift from coun- try to town is the fact that the in- crease in the European population of the Union of South Africa, as shown by the preliminary results of the census, has taken place in ur- ban areas only. The shift of population has been to the Transvaal and Natal from the Free State and the Cape; in other words, from relatively dry parts of the Union to areas of rela- tively better rainfall. The country- side has not maintained its natural increase. The movement of popula- tion has been practically equal with | h the natural increase. e Director of the Census considers that differ- ent methods of farming have to be followed more adaptable to the need of carrying a larger rural popula- tion. He is also convinced that modern farming methods, resulting in less labor being necessary, also helped to account for the decrease in rural popuTafion, 'The census shows that the Union's European population has increased by 148,- 304 or 884 per cent, snce 1926, and now totals 1825527. Important changes in Parliamen- tary representation are involved by this increase. It will mean that the House of Assembly will attain its maximum strength of 150 members provided by the Act of Union. The preferential treatment formerly giv- en to Natal and the Orange fe State will disappear. The official forecast is that after the next de- limitation the Cape will gain three seats and the Transvaal two, while Natal will lose one seat and the Free State two, making the Parlia- mentary position as follows: Cape, 61, seats; Transvaal, 57; Natal, 16; Free State, 16. PROGRAM OF BiG WUSIC FESTIVAL NDW CONPLETE International Society of Contemporary Music to Meet in Oxford London, July 15 -- The complete programme for the ninth annual festival of the International Society for Contemporary Music has been arranged. The festival opens at Oxford, July 21. The first concert, which will consist of early English choral music, performed by the combined choirs of Christ Church and New College under Dr. W. H. Harris, will be held on the follow- ing day in the Town Hall. On July 23 the first concert of contemporary music will be given in the Sheldo- nian Theatre. The programme will consist mostly of chamber music, but will include works for small choir and chamber orchestra, not- ably a Sinfonietta by Halffter, and three a cappella choruses by Egon Wellesz. On July 24 these ballets will be performed: Vaughan William's Job and Lambert's Pomona by the Ca- marge Society, and Erwin Schul- hoff's La Somnambule by a group of dancers from Prague. The sec- ond chamber concert in the evening of the same day includes Goossen's second violin sonata, a string quar- tet by Marcel Delannoy, and a piano quintet by Mario Pilati. A new symphony for organ solo by Leo Sowerby will be played in the Ca- thedral on the Sunday, when music by Purcell and Taverner will also be performed. © On' July 27 the festival removes to London for an orchestral concert at Queen's Hall organized by the B.B.C.

F, Tolmie. Vitamin D, the premier points out is an ingredient present in pilchard oil, largely relied on to remedy ric- kets in young live stock. Hereto- fore this vitimin has been taken from codliver oil. ; Discovery of the fact that pil- chard oil had a high. contant of eagerly seized on in the east as the basis for exhaustive tests. For some years now elaborate ex- periments have been carried on to devise a means of preventing rickets in calves and other livestock. liver oil, sun's rays, and many other laboratory methods have been tried to effect a workable plan for nurs ing ill-conditioned animals and poul« try past their early days. If tests now to be carried on at Dominion experimental farms sup- port the British Columbia conten- tion that. pilchard oil may not only be substituted for a cod liver oil, but will give excellent results on a basis much. more economically. British Columbia refinery plants may bene- fit materially from recognition of these claims. With many plants on the West Coast of Vancouver Island, British has a growing production of pilchard oil, which would - enormously from any established new uses for the product.
