LONDON, ENGLAND GROWS RAPIDLY Suburbs of Empire Capital Have Multiplied Since War Nothing illustrates the gzrowth of Greater London sinc: the War than the manner in which the outer suburbs are receiving char- ters of incorporation, and becom- ing independent towns, Hendon, on the north side, has just be- come a municipality, and will have its own mayor, aldermen and councillors. Hendon includes the well- known residential district of Golders Green, where, but a few years ago, a five-barred gate led to a farmyard through which one could follow a foot-path ot Edg- ware, alongside a lively brook, its banks spread with wild flowers. The coming of the 'Tube' soon altered all this. In 21 years the population has grown from 22,- 700 to 120,000, and more is being aaded every month, Heston and Isleworth, on the south Middlesex side, have been incorporated, with the town of Hounslow as its centre. The population at the 1931 Census was 75,000, compared with 46,- 000 10 years earlier, Southgate, on the northern heights, is ex- pecting every day to receive au- thority from the Privy Council to become a corporate borough, This district is rapidly extending as one of London's better class dor- mitories. The present population is 57,000, A new "Tube" is being pushed out as far as Cockfosters from the present terminus at Finsbury Park, and an average of 500 new houses have for some time been erected every year. LIBERAL GLUB T0- WIDEN ITS RANKS Invites 750 New Members, Not Necessarily Liberals London.--The National Liberal Club, which has extended a wel- come to many Canadians either as country members or as tempor- ary residents here, has decided to admit 750 new members who will not be required hefore election to declare themselves Liberals. These members will not be eligi- ble for the higher offices on. the executive. It has hitherto been a rule that every candidate must sign a de- claration declaring his allegiance to Liberalism, Probably not a few candidates in days gone by did so with a certain mental reservation, or else they changed their faith soom after and said nothing about it. There are already a fair num- ber of members who are connect- ed actively with institutions that have no sympathy with Liberal political principles. The National Liberal Club, like nearly every other West Fnd Club, has suffered a serious loss of membership in recent years, It was formed nearly 50 years ago, and for general social purposes is one of the most agreeable meet- ing places in London for the man of ordinary views.

Out of Wheat Market Russia is out of the wheat export market through crop fail- ure for at least one year and may actually be an importer of wheat in the current crop year, so that the only immediate sac- rifice she is being asked to make is with respect to a third of her timber exports to Britain, in re- turn for which it is understood material concessions not only in trade but in credits are offered. Neither the Dominions nor Britain are leaving all their eggs in the one basket, however. Lawyers are still studying the existing agreements with Russia, endeavoring to find a way by which they can be circumvented without being destroyed, in the event that Leningrad declines to accept Britain's proposals, Conferences between Canadian and United Kingdom delegations today made it clear to the latter that Canada does not intend to meet United Kingdom requests lock, stock and barrel, unless the United Kingdom meets Canada on what this country deems the primary principle of a useful agreement--control of Russian competition with Empire pro- ducts. Nor was the fact unstated that Ganada had concrete reasons for believing Britain would en- force this control if Canada went to the length of admitting Brit. ish industry to Canada on a basis of fair competition with Cana- dian industry in this market, Neither confirmation nor 'den- ial could be obtained of reports that Premier Bennett indicated that Canada would decline to sign any agreement at all, unless the Government was convinced it was useful and mutually ad- vantageous. The position of the Tynnett Government with regard to Rus- sia has been plainly stated to Mr, Baldwin. Canada does not pro- pose that her farmers, her work- ers, either in factories or in for- ests, shall be called upon to com- pete with peon labor whose pro- ducts are sold at any figure they will bring by a thoroughly des- potic dictatorship, alien in pur- pose to every principle of Brit- terribly has become our 350 Bay St. We are very pleased to announce that Mr. J.

WHITBY ISSUE OF DEBENTURE (Continued from page 1) the East Whitby sale is compar- able the nearest to it is the sale of an issue for $320,000 by the united counties of Northumber- land and Durham, of fifteen-year instalment, six per cent, deben- tures, which sold for 100.17. When it is considered, however, that the Northumberland and Durham issue was almost four times as large as that of East Whitby, and was five years longer in term, in financial circles it would probably be regarded that East Whitby obtained an even better price than that which was obtained by the united countries of Northumberland and Durham. PREPARING FOR BALLOON TRIP Professor Piccard Will Re- peat Experiment of Last Year Brussels.--Prof. August Pic- card has left for Zurich to pre- pare for anbther balloon trip sev eral miles into the air. a flight which last year carried him to altitudes never before achieved by mam. Prof. Piccard hopes to begin his flight between August 1-and August 15, dependent on weather conditions. The balloon will be equipped with a new gondola of aluminum and enamelled white to reflect the sun's rays, since Prof. Pic- card and his assistant suffered from the heat on their first flight, . The new gondola has mot two observation-portholes, but eight, in addition to the manhole for entrance and exit. All apertures are water-tight, in the event of an accidental! landing in the ocean or an inland lake. The balloon bag for the new flight will be the largest in the world, with a capacity of 14,000 cubic metres. The weight it will have to carry, including baliast, will be abbut 3,520 pounds. Prof, Piccard intends to make a flight from a point near Hudson Bay after his ascent at Zurich. Ten St. Catharines Families To Go North ish democracy. ' WILL ROUND CAPE | IN 18-FOOT CANOE | Montreal, Aug. 17.--Braving the danzers of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, two experienced Scadinavian sailors left Mont- real yesterday in an 18-foot canoe en route to Vancouver via Cape Horn, The navigators, Helge Borup, 42, Danish sailor and newspaper editor, and Har- old T. Jensen, 38, a veteran ship's officer, expect to complete the journey in about two years. St. Catharines, Aug. 17.--Ten unemployed St. Catharines fami- lies have selected home sites in northern Ontario near Metheson, and will move there to establish new homes this month. Under arrangements made by munici- pal authorities with Dominion and provncial Governments, these people will 'receive stock, implements and material for the construction of their homes and will be cared for during the Win- ter. The decision was reached by the families after two of their number had visited the northern district, "SO AT 07 "TO LAUNGH NEW CANADA AND THE COMING ECLIPSE Dominion Observatory Party Makes Plans for Phenomenon Ottawa.-- Few people have been fortunate enough to behold a total eclipse of the sun, nature's most impressive spectacle, The chance of a lifetime to witness this glorious phenomenon will come to many on the afternoon of August 31 next, according to the Dominion Observatory, De- partment of the Interior, Ottawa. At 2,04 p.m, E.S.T., the moon's central] shadow will strike the earth in the polar sea north of Siberia thence sweeping down as a hand about 100 miles in width, past the pole and through Hud- son bay, cutting the east shore of James bay, passing down through FIVE YEAR PLAN -- | Soviet-Russia Ready To! Do Business With U.S.A. Washington, -- Soviet Russia claims it will launch next Jamu- ary a second five-year plan call- ing for $75,000,000,000 in ex- penditures for industrial © im- provements, agriculture and transportation --- business that would provide a market for Am- erica if credit and trade arrange- ments were developed, Figures on the new plan were made available recently by the Soviet information bureau here which pointed out that despite the economic depression, the projected outlay is nearly treble that under the first five-year plan, The colossal project is expect- ed to require large purchases of materials and machinery from other countries. Disclosure of its details comes at a time when Russia is sharply curtailing her purchases from the United States and placing large orders with Germany and Great Britain ag a result of new commercial agreements with those countries, Authoritative sources, how- ever, informed the United Press that Russian trade representa- tives and" Americans doing busi- ness with Russia believe the So- viet may resume large-scale buy- fng from the United States if credit and reciprocal trade ar- rangements can be developed. Conclusion of - such a trade agreement with Russia as a means of increasing this country's for- eign trade was urged by Henry T. Rainey, Democratic leader of the House, in an article written from the United Press last week. FOREST FIRE FIGHTING METHODS Ottawa.--Forest fires in Can- ada are, to an Increasing extent, being fought hy specially design- ed apparatus. Light gasolene fire- pumps have been hrought into use which will deliver a forceful stream through half a mile of hose, or, in favourable ciréum- stances, a mile, and even farther. Fighting the fires at night is also greatly expedited by the use of lamps similar to those used by miners, which can be attached to the worker's cap and so en- able him to keep on working dur- ing the hours of darkness, at the very time when his work will have the greatest effect, In addi- tion to this, the use of aircraft in the more remote forest areas, where communication and trans- portation facilities are not ade- quate, plays an important part in the suppression of fires Forest Service, Department of the In- terior, RECORD OF EARTHQUAKES Ottawa.--On the average gver 300 earthquakes =n year, or roughly one a day, are registered on the seismographs at tha Do- minion Ohsgervatory, Department of the Interior, Ottawa, The ma- jority of these, howaver, do not involve an» serious disturbggce anywhere, and comparativel /fTéw originate in Canada.

In Quebec Parent on the Canadian Nationa) Railways, Maskinonge on the Canadian Pacific Railway Just north of lake St. Peter on the St, Lawr- ence, and Magog to the south, are all fairly near the central line of totality. Totality com- mences at 2.24 p.m, EST, at Montreal, which is just within the western edge of the shadow, the eastern edge being about 100 miles distant, Along the central line of the zone of totality the duration of the total eclipse will be about 100 seconds diminishing to zero at each edge. Even at points only ten miles within the shad- ow, however, totality wil] last for a full minute, and even five miles nearer to the edge for over forty seconds. Partial Elsewhere Though it is only within this comparatively narrow band that the eclipse will be seen as total, it will be visihle as a partial eclipse throughout the whole of North America, At Ottawa 97 per cent 'of the sun's diameter will be covered at the maximum phase, at Toronto 92 cent cent, at Winnipeg 76 per cent, and at Vancouver 40 per cent, To the east of the shadow zone, 98 per cent, of the sun's diameter will be covered at Quebec and 93 per cent, at Halifax. The Dominion Observatory has arranged to observe the eclipse at a site between St. Gabriel and St. Alexis which are villages to the north of the Lake. St, Peter expansion of the St. Lawrence, a little above Three Rivers. At this point there will be erected ce- ment piers as foundations for the instruments, and buildings to house the apparatus and provide photographic dark rooms. The list of delicate instruments will include, the 20-inch coelostat and 20-inch mirror, spectro- graphs, cameras, moving picture machines; and apparatus to carry out magnetic radio, and meteor- ological observations, also those to give the necessary time ser- vice, and to accurately determine positinns and directions, The staff for the most part will be accommodated in tents on the site. In the final stage of pre- paration and observation about fifteen or sixteen astronomers and helpers will be on the ground, May Not See It While astronomers the world over have for months heen con- sidering details of equipment and planning' observational pro- grams, many of them, even though the sky be clear and their observations successful, will not really see the eclipse at all, since in one hundred short seconds one cannot attend to all the multi- tudinous details of delicate in- strumental adjustment and photographic exposure of hair- splitting accuracy, and still have leisure to look about him, Layman Has Advantage The layman will have the ad- vantage of leisure, untrammelled by instrumental equipment, and can observe the spectacle to full advantage with the unaided eye, or perhaps with the aid of a small field-glass, He should plan to take up his position well with- in the zone of totality, at a place permitting an unobstructed view of the sun and of the sur- rouding country, where the rapid approach of the moon's shadow can be readily seen. The main spectacular features to be looked for are the 'corona', which bursts into view at the instant of the onset of totality, and the "prominences'" --- eruptions of gaseous matter which are some- times visible as projections from the surface of the sun, Another interesting phenomenon is that of the "shadow bands", which are to be seen immediately pre- ceding and following totality, and which can best be observed on 2a white sheet spread on the ground. In viewing the partial stages of the eclipse, which precede and follow totality by over an hour, the eyes should be protected by a dark screen, such as smoked glass or photographic film which has been exposed and developed to a dense black deposit.

ORMISTON or adie i <n GIRLS HAD NARROW ESCAPE AT BEACH Were Saved From Drown- ing by Companions and Boys Some excitement was caused at the new bathing beach at Whitby by the narrow escape frown drowning of at least two Whitby girls, and their rescue by a num- ber of hoys who happened to Le swimming near there at the timo. Three girls, Wilma Lavery, Mii dred Smith and Marie O'Connor, had gone in swimming. together, when the O'Connor girl was seiz- ed with cramps, and seemed ui- able to take care of herself in the water, = Mildred Smith, who was nearest to her, went to her res © 'cue, as did Wilma Lavery. Miss Lavery, however, also got infu difficulties when she went down in deep water, and the situation looked serious until a number of boys swam out swiftly and brought all three girls to shore. Miss Lavery, who is a daugh- ter of Fire Chief and Mrs. Lave ery, fainted as she was being tak- en out of the water but her res- cuerers and some bystanders rendered first ald and brought her round. The three girls were taken to their homes, none the worse of their thrilling experi- ence, Bystanders spoke in the high- est possible terms of the action of Miss Smith and Miss Lavery in going to the aid of their com panion, as they undoubtedly sav- ed her from drowning, This in- stance is cited as one in which life-saving equipment at the har- bor would haye--atdded. greatly Tescue. in the work of NOMINEE PLEADS FOR WITHDRAWAL Leading in Ballot Candi- date Pleads Not to be Elected Manchester, England.--"1 beg not to be elected," pleaded Rev. Frederick Luke Wiseman at the Wesleyan Conference in Manches- ter recently, when a vote was be- ing taken for the President De- signate of the United' Methodist Conference which is to hold its first meeting in September. There were two candidates for the im- portant office, Mr. Wiseman and Rev. Dr, Scott Lidgett, and . on the first vote the former received 462 votes to Dr. Lidgett"s 432. The President, Rev. Dr, Mald- wyn Hughes announced the re- sult and he ruled that as the fig- ures did not give necessary clear majority there must be another. vote. Mr, Wiseman at omce asked to be permitted to withdraw his name in favor of Dr. Scott Lid- gett, but this request was met with shouts of "No." President Hughes: "I rule that we take another vote on the two names." Mr. Wiseman: "May I not be allowed to withdraw my mame?" There were cries of "No," "Hear, hear," "Chair," and "Order." "I bez that T may be allowed to do 80," persisted Mr. Wiseman. Dr, Scott Lidgett rose on the platform, and in quiet tones said: "What Mr. Wiseman has said is marked by that characteristic generosity we have always been led to expect. On an occasion like this it is not for any man to say what he thinks or feels about his own persbnal qualifications or about the decision of the Confer- ence, It is for us all to put our- selves in humble submission to the will of the Conference. I do hope we may vote without pre- judice." Mr. Wiseman: "I desire to sub- mit myself to the will of my brethren , . . If you will not allow me to withdraw my name, I hope you will respect that feeling." Amother vote was taken and the figures announced were: Dr, Lid- gett, 313; Mr, Wiseman, 216, Hamilton, Aug. 16. -- Albert Felix Rastrick, well known arch- itect, ended his life in the front bedroom of his home at 150 Jackson Street west yesterday af- ternoon when he sent a .IR calibre revolver bullet througn his heart, Deceased, who had been in ill-health for some time, was about fifty-eight years .of age and was well known, Cobourg, Aug. 16. -- A party of apple buyers representing an English firm is going through the apple belt of Northumberland County, They intend to visit various fruit districts in Ontarin in order to learn Canadian or- chardist. methods.
