In the Collegiate In- stitute, $162.51 in 1930 and $118.38 in 1931. In the Voea- tional Institute, $135.72 in 1930 and $127.51 in 1931, Cost Already Decreased "These figures show', said the Chairman of the Board, 'that the cost of education in the pub- lie schools has gradually de- creased since 1929, but this fact only adds to the difficulty of the Board in further decreasing these costs, "We realize, however, that some definite action must be taken to meet the financial situa- tion, and we regret very much that this action will entail not only drastic cuts in salgries hut interference with the present school services, "This interference in service will involve the closing of certain class rooms, thereby forcing fur- ther congestion in other classes, and will mean that some young- er pupils, as well as older, will have further to walk to school. "It will also be necessary, in the case of f{llness on the part any teacher, that the pupils of the class affected remain at home, but in this regard the Board will endeavor to limit any one period of enforced absence to three days, thereby saving the kalary of a substitute teacher for that time, Va "In order to effect further economies the classes at the Col- legiate and Vocational Institute will be enlarged to the limit, and the number of classes, os- pecially in the night school, will be curtailed." Must Eliminate Improvements Dealing with maintenance costs Dr. Donevan stated "expendi- tures on maintenance have al- ready heen reduced to such an ex- tent as to eliminate anything in the nature of permanent im- provements, "It necessitates using a less satisfactory and efficient grade of coal, and means that many items which add to the comfort and health of the pupils in the schools will have to be elimin- ated, The Chairman of the Board stated further that "while no definite figures are yet available regarding the economies to be put into effect by the Board, a full statement regarding these economies will be released for publication as soon as formally ratified", Governed By Regulations "Further economies would be possible," said Dr, Donevan, "but the public must realize that in many matters the Board is bound by the regulations of the Depart. ment of Education, and has gone as far as it possibly can in the face 'of a very definite increase in the number of pupils pttend- ing the schools'. In conclusion Dr. Donevan asked the parents of 'to realize that action is only taken by the Board after very careful consid- eration, 'The members of the Board of Education fully realize that the students will suffer as a result of these mies, but it demands that actdon as outlined by taken," said Dr. Donevan, mp, ENTERTAINED YOUNG . PEOPLE George and Blossom, the two well known Toronto radio artists ap- peared in Jevion. with their small company of entertainers' at Rotary Hall on Friday under the auspices of Simcoe Street: United Church Young People's Society. The audi- ence, though not large, was highly appreciative of the high class pro- gram of songs, dances, dramatic and comedy sketches, and showed a articular liking for the George and lossom sketch which was the cli- max of the evening, These two char- acters, whose voices have been heard over the radio many times, ap- péaréd as real people in their roles of the young bride and groom, both with a cockney accent. "George," the head of the company revealed himself as a very versatile actor going suddenly from the sublime to the ridiculous and doing an excel- lent impersonation of the famous Dickens character, Uriah Heep, a feww moments before lunging , the very comic role of "George" with his "Blossom," HUMANE SOCIETY MONTHLY REPORT Inspector J, L, Ory of the Osh- awa Humane Society reports that during the month of January he eoxumined five horses, and found one of them unfit for working and to the owner of one of the re- muining horses he gave warning that further action would be taken if proper care and freat- ment were not extended to the animal, Mr. Orr destroyed five doge during January, Five were found killed in the streets, one dog was "1eported to the Society for bit- ing, and complaints were lodged against four dogs. There is only one dog in the pound at present. Of cats, Mr, Orr destroyed six during the past month, Four were killed on the city streets, two were gent from the pound to good homes and only one cat had to be rescued from a Hydro pole in January.

ORMISTON DEATH SUMMONS LOUIS BANDEL Well-known Business Man of Whitby Dies Suddenly Death with startling suddenncss came on Tuesday to one of Whit- by's best known business men and citizens in the person of Louis S, Bandel, proprietor of the Whithy House, Mr, Bandel got up in the morning at the usual hour and ate a hearty breakfast, At noon he was dead, having succumbed to a severe heart attack, with. which he was seized two hours before, Mrs, Ban- del and her daughter, Mary, were in Toronto, and although they started Yor Whitby with all possible speed on hearing of Mr, Bandel's illness, they did not arrive until he had passed away, The news of Mr, Bandcl's sudden passing occasioned great surprise and genuine regret throughout the town, The late Mr. Bandel was born in Whitby sixty three years ago. In his carlier years he was in business in Whitby, then for some years he was in business in Toronto, and was the former proprietor of the Se- bert House, Port Verry, Hc came hack to Whitby in the spring ot 1921, purchasing the Whitby House from his brother, Mr, Anthony Bandel, Deceased was one of the hest known hotelkeepers between Toronto and Belleville, and always operated a first class house. The homely atmosphere for which the Whitby House was noted reflected the character of its owner, for Mr. Bandel was a genial and painstak- ing host, In religion Bande! was a member of Bernard's R.C, Church, and in fraternal circles was a member of the Knights of Col- umbus, Deceased is" survived by his wi- dow, one daughter, Miss Mary, and two sons, Louis and Joseph, all of Whithy ; also one brother, Mr. An- thony Bandel, of Whithy, and four sisters, Mrs, Ole Sebert, Whitby; Mrs, Charles Barton, Whitby; Mrs, Morrisey, of Orillia, and Mrs, An- nie Collins, of Kitchener, The funeral takes place on Fri- day morning from the Hotel to the R., C.

Japan of "International Piracy" (By Canadian Press) London, Feb, 3 A crowded House of Commons had an open- ing hour full of matters of ex- tremé moment when it re-assems- bled yesterday after a six-weeks' ICCens, Topping all other matters of course wag the situation in the Far East, Sir John Simon, Sec- retary of State for Foreign Af- fairs, outlined the British posi- tion in a statement duplicated by Rt. Hon, J, H. Thomas, Secretary for the Dominions, before the ex- traordinary meeting of the Lea- gue Council at Geneva, gir John explained that Brit- tain, the United States, France | and Ttaly had joined in presenting SYNOD MEETING ing to Toklo and Nanking pro- pogals calling for immediate ces- tation of hostilities, formation of 4 neutral area in Shanghal to be policed by neutral forces, and opening of negotiations on Sino- Japanese controversies in the spirit of the past of Paris, From many parts of the House cheers expressed satisfaction at the infermation vouchsafed by the Fo'eign Secretary, But the douse was not unanimous, Rt, Hon. George Lansbury, leader of the Labor Party, rose to ask the Prima Minister to grant the op- portunity for further discusion on the matter, Prime Minister MacDonald auickly rose and said "at this mos went it would be most inoppor= tune to have a debate which might do infinite harm and could not possibly do any good." The grey-haired Opposition leader, amidst signs of restive- ness in the general bpdy of the House, again rose, "The world ought to nize," Mr, Lansbury said, 'the Japanese Government has been engaged In a plece of {interna- tional piracy." Loud cries of "withdraw" came from the Conservative henches, Capt. the Rt. Hon, I. A. Fitzroy, Speaker of the House, very calmly sald: "The right hon- orable member must' remember ne is talking about a friendly power." More cries of 'withdraw' and "eit down," filled the Chamber, "I have not the slightest inten- tion of withdrawing, and I am not going to sit down,' persisted Mr, Lansbury, "In this House, the Soviet Government, which is ns friendly as any other Govern- ment, has been denounced over and over again," Some members still made noisy protests, with Earl Winterton de- manding a formal withdrawal and Sir Willlam Davison asking Mr, Speaker if such assertions were not an abuse eof the question period, \ The Speaker declined to take Mr, Lansbury's outburst too ser- foutly and his response to those members who protested also im- plied there was no necessity for hig authority to he supported by the House at large, The general body of members indeed were not seriously indig- nant, for Mr, Lansbury has heen charged with letting his feelings gol the better of his descretion cn former occasions. "I have alreally sald what I have to say," Mr, Speaker quiet- ly remarked, There was an*interjection from the Prime Minister that Mr. Lansbury himself had proved how useless would be a debate at the present time, Later Mr, Lans- bury submitted a motion of cen sure, which the Speaker rejected as not being sufficiently definite, whereupon Mr, Lansbury sald he would ralse the subject again on adjournment, An editor received from a lady some verses daintily tied up with pink ribhon and entitled, "1 Wonder it He'll Misg Mc?" After reading them, he returned the effort to the sender with the following note--"Dear Madam,--I{ he does, he ought never to be trusts ed with firearms again"~~New Zca- land Railways | G recog- TANNERS MaY FORM COMBINE ) (Continued from page 1) keep his tannery running apd his men employed he must be pre- pared to give quick service when favored with orders.

British Buyer Interested Mr, Davis pointed out that they were being called upon dally by Increasing numbers of represen- tatives of British firms, and, all things being equal, they natural- ly got first ehance on 'our re- quirements." The British buyer today was showing twice the in- terest in Canadian leathers ho did #IX months ago. Proceeding, Mr, Davis stated that wholesale supplies of shoes in Canada were practically ex- tinct, He pointed ouf also that for the Inst two years the production of boots and shoes in Canada had been below the normal require ments of the Canadian market, und today the stocks of leather footwear in Canada were at one of the lowest points on record.

The new treaty ix understood broadly to follow the principle of the treaty which was concluded last year with Australia, although Thompson, the commodities to be Imported into Canada are somewhat dif- ferent, The arrangement is relied upon to go far in rectifying the decided decline in trade between the two Dominions since the old treaty was cancelled, A much broader significance is attached, however, to the treaties between Canada and those two sister do- minfons since they are regarded as the nucleus of the system of widened Imperial preferences, the development of which is the par- ticular purpose of the economic conference in Ottawa this sum- mer.
