THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, MAY 20, 1932 Will be Signed ly Ottawa, May 18.--The agree- t recently arrived at hetween Dominion and Ontario Gov- ments in regard fo the. St. jwrence power project is being weed to its legal form and will executed very soon, 'It is re- ed 'as the one thing whieh m the Canadian angle at Jeast, mains to be done before the Lawrence Waterway Treaty, long under negotiations, is od 4 = Therefore, ~once the arrange- ent with Ontario is formally goneluded the broad trealy may signed at any-~time, It would mot be effective," of course; till sanctioned both by Parliament and by Congress, So far as the Ontario aspect of the cdse isw eoncerncd, the in facts are fhat the provinee gto have the wat powers ing with «Wie naviga- those which : con- miplate power development will je constructed. The 'whole cost of the power plant will be borne by Ontario. and the Dominion will 'he reimbursed in: that con- mection. The outlay is estimated at wor $95.050.000 and $75,- 000,000. This is apart from the power houses and transmission lines. : As regards the broad treaty, secrecy iy maintained, but the fundamental facts are that jt will apply only to the International section and not to the whole waterway and that it will be a 50-50 arrangement in the paying the costs between the two coun- tries, From Canada's share, how- ever, will be deducted the cost of the Welland ship canal or other completed works contributory to tha waterway project. Then as stated, the Dominion's outlay will be further modified by Ontario's recouping it for the cost of power works. This will be about $70,000,000. As to the net outlay to the Dominion, engin- cers are figuring that out, It will he large in one way but not so large when it is compared with the entire cost 'of the undertak- ing. The treaty will not affect any rights of Quebec. The terri tomy to which it will apply is not in 'that province, OLD TOLL HOUSE A SCOTCH RELIG Picturesque Cottages Near Glasgow Remind of the Past Glasgow. -- In most parts of 'Scotland there still remains some "westige of the old system of tolls which existed in the days when roads were of the nature of pri- "wate property. Practically every highway hag at intervals along its "length picturesque little cottages 'each known to the local inhabi- 'tants as the Old Toll House. These relics of an economic and social order that has passed sur- "vive as ordinary dwelling places, . eonverted from their function into prosaic peasant "homes mere "buts and bens" that are rapidly disappearing from the "face of the landscape. They have ""hbeen no more than roadside cot- { tages now for the best part of two generations in most of the # cases, but we are today reminded {that while the toll system de- . parted so long ago from our main highways, it lingered on in some * instances in the byways, Not un- fil this week has the last of the ; toll gates been removed. i Last Toll-Gate L The last toll-gate stood on ' #"The Duke's Road' leading over "ithe' hill from Aberfoyle to the 3 Trossachs. It guarded the ap- "proach to the road from the vil- just immediately behind the Bailie Nicol Parvie Hotel. That & road wag taken over last year by original' the county council of Perthshire, who under State encouragement has been reconstructing it to form a motor highway that will render the Rob Roy country and the Trossacks more accessible to the tourist. Good progress 1s be- ing made with the development and the new public road is now practically formed, although it will be another year before the final surfacing is completed, Mo- torists are, however, already us- ing it subject to the condition that they do so at their own risk. The road shortens the distance from Glasgow to the Trossachs by 15 miles, and it provides one of the grandest short circular tours with the return made by the Cal- lender route, that is available to the motorist in Scotland. On Duke's Road Duke's 'Road had a toll at the Aberfoyle access and another at the Loch Archray end, the first for dealing 'with the north-going traffic and the other to collect the dues from the southward tra- vellers, The Archray gate was removed some time ago, but it is only in the present road-making operations that the Aberfoyle gate has gone. The old road was constructed in 1884 as a joint un- dertaking by the late Duke of Montrose and the North British Railway Company in order to provide a carriage-way over the hill through this romadtic terri- tory which Scott has described both in "The Lady of the Lake" and in the novel "Roh Roy." The railway company used the road for a four-in-hand coach that took passengers from Aberfoyle Station over to the Trossachs ama Loch Katrine and returned by the same route to Aberfoyle. Lo- cally there is still a recollection of an accident which took place The some forty years ago when the coach horses took fright at = passing cyclist and plunged down a precipitous bank of the turn near the Achray end known as Basan Gruamach, Several of the passengers were killed. The old road was only nine feet wide and it ascended to an altitude of 720 feet in the first 214 miles of its total length of nearly six miles. In the recon- struction the highway is given a general width of 18 feet, and though it follows closely the line of the original it has nothing like the old gradients and tortuous turnings. The cornering width goes out to 24 feet at some of the bends, and instead of rising steeply in corkscrew fashion im- mediately behind the village of Aberoyle it presents an ascent not at all difficult for the modern car . Whereas the old road had short snaps of 1 in 4, the steepest gradient on the new road is 1 in 7, and that occdurs only for a short length at one point, Gen- erally the ascent from Aberfoyle is from 1 in 12 to 1 in 20. Scenic Grandeur At the summit the road pre- sents spacious prospects of scenic grandeurs., On the northern side there lies four of the noblest Highland lochs--Loch Katrine, Loch Archrav, Drunkie, These are not all within simultaneous view, but at parts three of them can be seen, and the mountain boundaries beyond are in spec- tacle choicely representative of Scotland's imposing picturesque- ness. The land through which the road runs has now passed into possession of the Forestry Com- mission for Scotland and that fact offers some assurance that the area will not be spoiled by building development, It is ex- pected that in the afforestation of the lands due regard will be paid to the preservation of the amen- ities in regard the vistas from the heights, while probably also sym- pathetic consideration will be giv- en to such requirements as park- ing and picnicing accommodation, The home motorist regards the development with high favor and doubtless the tourists from other lands will also be duly apprecia- tive of the improved opportunity of exploring this theatre of dra- matic Highland beauty. INDIAN SCOUTERS HAVE NO DIFFERENCES Mohammedan, Hindu, Chris- tian and Buddhist Scoutmasters took a ten days' training course together in perfect harmony and good will at a camp near Colom- bo, Ceylon. All joined in the mor- ning and evening prayers of Rob- ert Louis Stevenson. A NEW HONOUR FOR B.-P. The latest honour conferred upon Lord Baden-Powell is the Grand Cross of the Order of the Grand Duke Gediminans of Lith- uania., The decoration was pre- sented by the Lithuanian Minis- ter to Great Britain on behalf of the President of the Republic, the Honorary Chief Scout of Lithu- ania, "in recognition of his ser- vices to Lithuania in the cause of international good will through the Boy Seout Movement." * Heavy Quality Seamed Axminster Rugs Newest patterns.

Phone 2861 DODD'S HLITA'E PILLS In the Automobile World IN THE AUTOMOTIVE WORLD WHO GETS TOURIST DOLLAR? Four hundred million dollars seem a lot of money, but the map and chart men at Ottawa tell us that garage men, accessory deal- ers and service station propriet- ors have received this sum as their share of tourist traffic busi- ness in Canada gince 1920. The Statistical Bureau was able to show that the expenditure by tourists in Canada ranged from $83,734,000 in 1920 to $250, 776,000 in 1931. By the simple expedient of - asking questions, the Association has determined how the tourist dollar is aivided and it seems fairly definite that 20¢ goes for gasoline, garaging and accessories which, in the 11 years since 1920 would amount to the afore-mentioned $400,000,- 000. The destination of the remain- der of the tourist dollar was also calculated. For hotel and other types of accommodation, 20c is also spent, Retail stores get 2bc, restaurants 21¢, confectionaries 6c, and theatres and places of amusement, 8c. There is no offi- cial Canadian estimate of how much the summer tourists will bring this year, but the Ameri- can Automobile Association esil- mates it at $285,000,000, MODERN HAULAGE A load of thirty logs, each feet long and each weighing about 500 pounds, would appear to be a real test for a motor truck of any size, especially when the road to be travelled with snow to A depth places of three feet, is the load successfully handled by a 1930 Chevrolet heavy duty truck with dual wheels and®*trail- er, according to a transport man- ager in North Sydney, N.S. The transport man says he also uses the same truck for hauling cord- wood, and manages to handle about two cords, amounting to 2% tons, the road, in this case, being in the usual raw state in the timber country. 9 = In some Yet this WHAT THE CARS CONTRIBUTE Official figures on motor vehi cleg registration in Canada in 1931 show that the Dominion had a greater total of registrations than any other country except the United Stacen} Great Britain with 1,624,3 and France 'with 1,- 459, 850" It worked out to 8.6 persons per motor vehicle in Can- ada, and viewed in this respect there were still only three coun- tries with fewer people per motor vehicle. United States had 4.6 persons per vehicle and New Zea- land and Hawaii 7 persons per vehicle. The money contributed to the revenues of the nine prov- inces and the Yukon territory by motorists in 1931 amounted to $43,231,027. In lfcense fees the sum ofe$19,684,908 was contrib- uted and, on top of that, car own- ers paid $25,646,119 in gasoline tax, PONTIAC HAS INCREASE Registration levels were tredit- ably maintained in the province of Nova Scotia in the first quar- ter of 1932, but not every auto- mobile was able to show sales fig- ures equal to those of the same period in 1931, Pontiac Six, however, was able to show an in- crease of 50 per cent. in the vol- ume of sales in that province for the first quarter, as compared with the first quarter of 1931, WHOLE COUNTRY BENEFITS That employment figures im- prove ag the motor industry re- vives was the theme of meeungs held recemtly in the eight Zone cities of General Motors Products of Canada, Dealers and sales- men met in these cities and heard interesting figures presented, dealing with the beneficial effects of car activity on all Canadian industry. The figures presented showed there are 87 days or em- ployment provided for Canadian workmen in the manufacture of every General Motors car at Osh- awa, Ontario. The employment, of course, ig not all in the car factory proper, but in the basic industries associated with auto- mobile manufacture as well. In allied trades, such as sales and service branches, additional em- ployment was given with each car sold, General Motors' men in all the Zones felt that in the "87 days of Work in Each Car" slog- an, they had something that would help to dissipate hesitancy on the part of prospective cus- tomers. The fact that a mew car represents an average of 87 days of gainful employment to work- men throughout Canada is from a report made to the Dominion Tariff Board by J. A. Coote, Pro- fessor of Economies, McGill Uni- versity.

It presents a political map of the United States.) (BY KEN. CLARK, Canadian Press Staff Writer) Washington, D.C,, May 20--The observer cecking to draught an ac- curate political map of the United States faces a bewildering problem. If the parties had any relation to present-day economics, it would be possible to divide the country into large sections representing propor- tionately large blocs of opinion. But no such relation exists, The highly-industrialized North- east, for mstance, cannot represent the conservatism of big money, big business, nor the conservatism of organized labor--for neither the Rg- publican nor Democratic. party as |' such represents industrialism or agriculture, the cities or the coun- try, big business or the little farm- er. Nor can the arcas of the south Middlewest, Northwest and the Pa- cific stand together even in a loose way for agriculture, Both Conservative Both parties are conservative. Curiously enough, in the ultra-Con- servative Republican party is ob- scrved the only considerable out- cropping of radicalism--in the Mid- dlewest. A single geographic gen- erality, fitting almost any cleetion, that the South, because of the Zro question, is Democratic, In this presidential year, out an electoral college of 531 membess New York returns 47, Pennsylvama 36, Illinois 29, Ohio 26, Texas 23, California 22 and the other states from 17 to 3.

Moreover these three states have shown a Democratic tendency since 1928. Excellent also in the cyes of the Democrats are the prospects of 15 other states including New Jersey, Missouri, Indiana, a slice through the Middlewest of Montana, Wyom- ing, Colorado and Nebraska, and Washington and Nevada in the West, Alwi Lys optimists, they an- nounceé "fair" chances in 11 other states--Maine in the East, the Da- kotas, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois in the Middlewest, and Oregon, ldaho and Utah in the West. California, President" Hooy=- er's home state; Michigan, Pennsyl- vania and Vermont, home state of Calvin Coolidge; are said to be the least probable, "but possible." The Opposite View In short the Democrats claim they will carry all the states with the exception of four and these they may get. Bascom C. Slemp, who used to be Ccolidge's Secretary, says the Republicans will get all the states but five. Eight months before elections, before anyone knows who the Democratic nominee thay be, before platforms have been drawn up, before business has de- cided whether to perk up or to take another toboggan slide, these defin- ite predictions and allocations of strength geographically are obvious- ly of no particualr value, The most that may Be said is that in an ordinary presidential year-- and this is not an ordinary yegr-- an ultra-conservative dry Republi- can candidate like President Hoover would get the support of business in the Northeastern states, particu- larly where the Republican machine functions with such devastating power as in Pennsylvania; he would get the rural prohibition vote of the Middlewest, the Northwest, the Pa- cific states. He would get the na- tionalistic vote throughout the country. On the hand a Democratic candidate would find strength in the west city votes of such states as New York, Massachusetts, Illinoi. He would carry the entire south.

SCOUTS TRAINING SAVES THEIR MOTHER Two Scouts of Westfield, N.J., returned from school at noon to find their mother unconscious on the floor of the gas-filled kitch- en. One threw open doors and windows and 'phoned the doctor; the other immediately began ar- tificial respiration. The doctor, on another case, arrived twenty minutes later to find the mother partially recovered, He declared the boys' promptness had saved her. +«U.8. SCOUTS MAKING GOOD Sixty-nine per cent. of Ameri- can Rhodes scholars have been Scouts; 80 per cent. of all players selected for last year's All-Am- erican - football teams were Scouts; nine of those for the All- American first team were Scouts; 39 of the 50 boys selected hy Thomas A.
