JOHN STACEY, Brantford Team + Wins Honors Brantford, Oct. 26--~Wipning 17- 11 in Ottawa over the Ottawa Strathconas in a snowstorm and again here on Saturday 18-5 on a muddy field, where anything to the outfield went for 'extra bases, the Brantford Paterson softball team captured the O.AS.A. senior B championship with comparat se case The Brants bad Smith and Kipp, the battery which took the Brant- ford Collegiate to the junior cham- pionship last year, and Smith kept the visitors hitting to the infield, only three putouts being made by the outfield, The morning rain -ceascd in time for the game, but the diamond was such a sea of mud that a new diamond was staked out on the grass for the infield, the out- field remaining a cow pasture, Sin- clair for the Strathconas was hit hard, 17 being tallied, but a dry field would have meant that many of them would have been cut off, R.H.

Boz' S Kicks Beat Kitchener Toronto, Oct, 286 Balmy Beach took the lead in their sec- tion of the O.R.F.U, genior series on Saturday when they defeated Kitchener Panthers on a muddy field at Ulster stadium by 10 to 0. As has heen the case during the two seasons, Ab, Box's ability to hoof single points when the Beachers were in scoring position was the main factor in hemming in the Kitchener forces. Five of the winners' points came on sin- gles and the only touchdown of the game was the result of a Pan- hey fumble. Alex, Peters, who did t of the effective punting for Kitchener, did not receive same wingline support as Box, the Forward Passes Beat Tigers Montreal, Oct, 26.--By a nar- row margin of 2 points Mont- real's Interprovineial foothall squad managed a 9 to 7 win over the formidable Hamilton Tigers here Saturday.

Men and women who are thinking seriously about the faults of our economic and social systems, and how to correct them, are probably readers, Many of them are getting their ideas from library books; many more might do likewise with signifi. cant results, In promoting the use of books on unemployment, on the causes of economic de. pressions ind the means of pre. yenting them, the library may be an important agency for brings ing about clear thinking on the vital public questions which are now uppermost in the minds of thoughtful people. There is also the question of maintaining morale. It must mean something to an unemploy- ed father that his children may stil go to school and still bor. row books. The thousands of adults who, in thes» trying times, crowd library reading rooms probably leave the libraries with a little more faith in themselves and in society than they had when they entered, whether they have been studying u new voca- tion or simply reading to escape their unhappy thoughts. d.ibravies are more than plea. sant luxuries for prosperous times, They are capable of play. ing a respectable part in the pro. niotion of intelligent thinking and courageous action, Vancouver to Conduct Trials Vancouver, Oet, 26,---Canadian Olympic trials for 1932 will be held in Vancouver, it was decided at the annual meeting of the Brit. ish Columbia branch of the Ama- teur Athletic Union of Canada here Saturday night, Selection of the site for the holding of the trials was yet to be made, said J.

W. Porteous and Mrs. Porteous. of the China Inland Mis- sion as told by them in an inter- view during a recent visit to Mont- real, In the latter part of March, j93(> the Christian world was stirred by the news cabled from China that three missionarics, Rev, R, W, Yor- teous and Mrs, Porteous and Miss Nina LE, Gemmell working in the city of Yuanchow in the west of Kiangsi province had been captured by the Communist army under Gen. Peng Teh-hwai, Miss Gemmell was released after a few days but Mr, and Mrs, Porteous were held for ransom. They were hurried up uw mountain trail into the interior, continuing the march sometimes un- til midnight as Government troops were in the vicinity and their cap- tors did not wish to encounter any of the soldiers, When the captives were exhausted, they were allowed to rest in one of the rooms in a temple, where they lay on bare boards in their wet clothes, for sey- eral times they had fallen into wa- ter in the dark, They were moved from place to place, often through the rain, or through mud ankle deep, and across mountain streams, One evening, quite late the guard held a hur- ried consultation, after which the prisoners, already fatigued to the point of exhaustion, were ordered to get ready to move on, At the head of the party a man was carry- ing a large sword, such as is used by executioners, Seeing this the prisoners believed they were being led out to execution, but after a little the man with the sword dis- appeared, and the weary tramp con- tinued, At last they reached Heo- fang, the common mountain prison Soviet Government, which was to be their home for over a month, Finally, at Yungsin, the stronghold ol the Communists, where the people were very foreign and anti-social, they were handed over to the Soviet Government and were housed in a prison in the dis- trict, Other missionaries and Chinese Christians used every effort to ob- tain their #elease, but it was over three months. before the demands of their Communist captors could be sufficiently satisfied to permit them to depart.

Although it was pointed out by American 'banking leaders that the withdrawal of another $2,000,000,000 from the United States would not endanger the situation, some Berlin news- papers took up comment on the possibility of American inflation. The Deutsche Allgemeine sug- gested the United States : might abandon the dollar if France made maintenance of its dollar deposits in New York conting- ent on conditions unacceptable to Wall Street, Solution of Problem Certain leading German ex- perts, including Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, former Reichsbank president, were reported to see the ultimate solution. of the world's menetary problem in a United States-British-German agreement to quit the gold basis, During Premier Laval's visit to Berlin, one German expert fore- cast such a development, saying | "then France would be almost fsolated with immense stores of gold which would merely serve to supply the next 10,000 years requirements for wedding rings and toothfillings." Only a few Government offici- als desire the United States to abandon the gold standard, how- ever, and one high official of the finance ministry 'said Germany was "interested in witnessing the return of American prosper- ity because Germany, with her foreign obligations preponder- antly on a gold basis, would have nothing to gain by Ameri- can abandonment standard." of the gold 117 | Central PAGE THREE Fe : 7. 7 | Bowmanville Daily Times Representative's Phone No. 53 THIRTY TONS OF PRODUGE ARE SENT T0 SASKATCHEWAN Bowmanville le and District Responded Nobly to Appeal of West Bowmanville and district res- ponded nobly to the appeal issued through the churches last Sunday for' produce to aid the stricken farmers of the Canadian West and on Saturday a refrigerator car left the C.P.R, freight sheds load- ed with 30 tons of goods for Mar- quie, Saskatchewan.
