The report, present- ed by the Hon. Raymond Morand, Cons. Essex Kast, and bearing endorsement of the entire com- mittee of nine members; recoms- mends the establishment of a paid federal commission of three members to direct the operation of the proposed new system, and the gradual acquisition of such stations as will be necessary for the complete coverage of all Can- ada. The report, which was brief ond 'left the working out of the details to the commission, pays tribute to the present radio broadcasting stations but the committee expresses the belief that present system, excellent as it 18 in certain respects, docs not meet the requirements in quality and scope of broadcasting to en- sure its maximum benefits. Establishment of a chain of high power national stations lo- cated at suitable intervals across Canada, their exact position to be determined after a technical survey, is suggested in the re- port, which algo recommends the establishment of a Trans-Canada chain as one of first duties of commission, Advertising would be limited to not more than five pef cent of the programme per- iod, The report suggests location where required and undep priv- ate ownership, if desired, of "as many stations of one hundred watts or under as may be deem- ed necessary for complete cover- age.

Young brought an inspirational message stressing to the members of the brotherhood the responsibility that rested with them for the future development of' Canada. The responsibility of being a Canadian citizen was a great onc, with the opportunities that are o1- fered in present times, it was stated, If these opportunities were scized upon with fervour, Canada would lead the world in christian en- deavour and place her at the heat of other nations in religions work, There was no nation in the world that was as free of tradition as Canada and it was with that ad- vantage that she was placed in the position of being able with her new life and intellectual life, to form a connecting link between 'the Land and the: United States, The time had arrived, Rev, Young asserted to learn that division is fatal, and that union is the only factor that will bring the nation through to success.

LEAVING FOR loss Perry, * Mayor Says Establishment of Relief Depot by the Provincial Government Would Be of Great Help to Municipalities LOCAL STORE IS READY TO OPEN Miss Farncombe and Her Staff Will Move Office Into New Premises in Relief Store Building Discussing the report which emanated from Hamilton on Sat- urday, regarding the policy of the Ontario Government towards mu- nicipalities in connection with relief Work, Mayor Thomas Hawkes stated this morning that this city has received no official word of any new regulations he- ing put into force by the Covern- ment. Discussing the general situa- tion here and elsewhere in the province Mayor Hawkes stated that while Premier Henry had expressed his approval of the system of administering direct relief from a central supply de- pot such as that being establish- ed here, expressed the hope that eventually the. Ontario Govern- ment will co-operate in maxing such stores a success by estab- lishing a central depot in Toron- to. "The Ontario government is in a splendid position to assist in making municipal depots a sr cess and thus save large amounts of money for the individual mun- Icipalities," said Mayor Hawkes, "I believe the Ontario Govern« ment should establish a big pro- vincial depot similar to the hig supply depots from which branch chain stores draw their needs all over the province, The Govern- ment would have 2 tremendous buying power, far greater than any individual or municipality, while the municipality would simply need to order its require- ments from the central depot to obtain supplies at the lowest pos- sible price, "Further there is the matter of sales tax and 1 think the Gov= ernment should take some ace tion in order to relieve munici- palities from this tax, which, in the aggregate, will amount tn quite a large sum in purchasing supplies to be used in direct re- iief," said the Mayor. So far as the local depot is con- cerned the building which is to be used for this purpose has now been made fully ready for occu- pation and appears ideal for the purpose. Shelves and tables have been installed for the storage and handling of supplies in the main part of the building, while there is sufficient available office space to" accommodate the Relief Le- partment of the city. Arrange- ments are being made for Miss Farncombe and her staff'to move into their new quarters as svun as possible. 5 ONLY ROUTINE BUSINESS L The meeting of the Oshawa Property - Owners' Association held in the Genosha Hotel on Friday night dealt mainly with routine business, it wag stated by F.
