Complaints had been received from the Oshawa Retail Merchants Association against such practices being allowed, and, in an effort to cleat the air Mayor Hawkes wrote to the department asking for an Roya] Canadian Mounted Police.

McQuade, pastor of the church, The sisters and brethren of the various lodges will assemble at the Orange Hall at 1030 a.m, and from there will march to the church for the service. In view of the keen interest which ig being taken in the celebration of the anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne in Oshawa this year, it is anticipated that there will be a large turnout for the annual parade and church service to- morrow morning, and there is a possibility that many visitors from lodges in neighbouring communities will be present. Every reasonable opportunity is being given overseas holders to convert, which is not com- pulsory. A bonus of one per cent, in cash is being paid to for- eign holders who assent without undue delay. While it is too early to assure patriotic bondholders that the conversion savings--estimated a* £7,000,000 net--will be translat. ed into a reduction in direct taxa- ation, every effort will be made 1 that direction, the Government states. - Meeting Ni Next Week The meeting of the finance committee which was to have been held last night to consider the problem of a central emer- gency relief committee for Osh- awa did not materialize. When The Times reporter went to the city building where the meet- ings of committees are held, he wag surprised to find that the whole place was locked up, and there was no sign of any mem- bers of the city council. On inquiry being made of the chair- man of the committee, the in- formation was secured that the meeting would be held on either Monday or Wednesday evening of next week, by which time it is expected that information essential to the discussion of the question at stake will be available.

("It is done"), Premier Edouard Herriot of France joy- ously signalized the end of the arduous labors of the Lausanne reparations and war debt confer- ence, which has wiped out Ger- man reparations annuities. Premier Herriot's jubilation was tempered by characteristic French acumen, for he selected two pretty girls for an impetuous embrace. Prime Minister Ramsay Mac- Donald of Great Britain, who has led the conference throughout, and whose labors have alone been responsible for the Franco-Ger- man agréement that permits all- around agreement on reparations, had little to say. He was tired, and he faces more labors in Lon- At Conference of Zone Officials {Vessel Brought In Large Cargo Britain Come on Through Bill of Lading Carrying the. largest cargo of package freight that has come into the Oshawa Harbor this sea- son, the steamer S.S.

R. Beaumont, the latter doing the driving throughout the long trip which started from Tor- onto on June 14, Mr. Beaumont's car attracted much attention in the city because of the banners it carried. On one side was a banner carrying the slogan, "Buy British Products," while on the banner at the other side were the words, "See Cahada First." Attached to the trunk at the rear of the car was another banner carrying both of these slo- rans, The object of Mr. Beaumont's tour, he explained to The Times, was simply to spread the gospel of Empire trade, and towards this end he has béen supplied by official sources with a large quantity of literature on this subject, which he distributes at strategic places along the route, as well as delivering ad- dresses to organizations in some of the cities he visits, For instance, TRANS-CANADA MOTORIST VISITED Cin Y YESTERDAY Mr, 100 per Beaumont ad- cent Canadian the Chateau wis given a on Tuesday drecsed the Boosters' Club at Laurier, Ottawa, and fine reception, After spending a day or two in Toronto, Mr. and Mrs, Beaumont and their son will start on a tout to Victoria, rollowing an all-Cana- dian route. most of it by car, and the balance by steamer and rail Thev will drive from Toronto to Sault Ste.
