After Business Hours--Phone 359, 'ATIVE--JAMES H., ORMISTON ire Chief Lavery Ashks for Dismissal of Two Firemen Counc Asks for Committee Report Before Taking Ac tion--Chairman of Fire and Light Charges That Council Sidetracked Fire Dept. Matters--Reeve Jack- son Strongly Objects An echo of a fight alleged to have taken place between two members of the fire department at the Landon store fire on Monday morning was heard at the Town Council meeting when Councillor, Robert Reid, chairman of the committee on Fire and Light, pre- 'sented a verbal report from Fire Chief Charles F, Lavery recom- mending the dismissal of the two men on the grounds that they had been guilty of conduct unbecoming to members of the brigade. Mr. Reid asked the Coun- eil to endorse the fire chief's re- commendation, recalling that when he was engaged the Council had pledged itself to stand behind the chief in his efforts to bring about harmony and discipline within the brigade's ranks. "I ask you to he men enough now to stand behind the Chief when he makes a recommendation," sald Councillor Reid, who charged that in the past the Council had been too prone to sidetrack fire department matters even after re- commendations were made, Coun, Reid stated that for a long time there had been trouble in the department, and while it was thought that matters 'would be straightened out after the new Chief was appointed, this appar- ently, judging from the conduct of the two firemen referred to, had not been accomplished. He thought that the Chief should 'have a free hand and the co-oper- fon of Council in his efforts to prove matters. e Town Clerk was asked to ua the by-law defining the duties bthe fire chief at a fire, and one gection' read: 'The Chief as of- ficer in charge may suspend or Ine any fireman for disobedience or neglect of duty and report to the chairman of the Committee of Management, and said commit. tee shall enquire and decide the justice of any such suspension or fine and report to the Council." Coun. Rowe took this section to Mean that the Chief who had wer to suspend, should report the committee which in turn would investigate and report to Council. The chairman of the Fire and Light Committee had simply discussed this matter with the Fire Chief and presented that official's recommendation without consulting his committee, which, he held, was not the proper pro cedure, As a member of Council Mr. Rowe declared that he would not stand for what he characteriz- ed as low life disgraceful actions on the part of firemen who were public servants, and he believed that the Council to a man would back up any recommendation the Committee would make, but he felt that this committee should first be called together to hear the fire chief and decided on any recommendations deemed neces- sary. Resents Charges Reeve Albert W, Jackson opin. ed that it was the duty of the Fire Chief to report his difficulties in writing to the Council, with his recommendations, Friction in the ¥ire Department, he said. could not go on, and it was un- thinkable that any such conduct should be indulged in by firemen as had been reported. Reeve Jackson strongly resented Coun. Reid's charge that the Council had sidetracked, its duty in deal- ing with fire department matters, declaring that Mr, Reid was alto- gether too free in his charges, "I feel that every man sitting on this board has always done his duty when fire department mat- ters have come up, tinue to do so regardless of who is affected," the reeve declared as he agreed with the contention that the Fire and Light Commit- tee should have heen called to- gether to deal with the Fire Chief's recommendations. Mayor Bowman stated that if the fire chief suspended the two men in question his duty was clearly defined in the by-law as to making a report to the Com- mittee of Management. In this case the report had only been made to the chairman. Wrong Action Taken Coun. Pringle stated that he was anxious to uphold the hands of the Fire Chief and would not tolerate misconduct in the department, but he felt that a mistake had been made by Coun. Reid in not calling his committea together after Fire Chief. Coun, Reig stil! contended that fire department matters in the past had been sidetracked, not merely by this council but by past administrations, The final decision of Council was that Mr. Reid is to call his committee together, consider the Fire Chief's recommendations and report back to the Council two weeks hence, Bo Christmas Fair "For Whitby is a Possibility Christmas Fair, Which many years ago flour.

THE NEW HONEY GRADES The consuming public are showing a special interest in the attractive appearance and con- ventent {identification of quality which is made possible by the new honey grades, which come in- to effect this year. Where honey is sold by grade the grading must conform to the Canadian stand- ards. The Canadian = standards for honey provide a natural cias- sification by colour into the four clagses "White," "Golden," "Am- ber," and "Dark.' These classes in turn are graded strictly on the yuality basis as "Fancy," "Choice" or "Manufacturers." The honey grades are especially popular hecause of the consis- tency of the application of grade terminology to the product when sraded; the inherent quality of the honey literally speaks for it- gelf MORE FISH MEAL statement recently issued USE In a the Dominion Seed Branch calls attention to the availability of Canadian-made fish meal at Mari- time points, ded highly as a protein feed for live stock and poultry, largely taking the place of tankage.
