Nothing could be learned by The Times this morning regarding the recommendations formulated at last night's meeting, although there is every indication that a definite personnel was gelected tc comprise the Public Welfare Board, and that the names thus selected will be in the hands of thé City Clerk prior to the special Manda, of the City Council on ¥RKo Statement "Mr. 'Disney, when seen by The Times this morning, stated that he was not authorized by the Citizens' Advisory Committee iu make any statement for publi- cation regarding last night's meeting, "There is nothing for publica- tion," said Mr. Disney when ask- ed regarding this important suu- ject of vital interest. "In fact I was instructed as secretary not to make any statement for publi. cation. The feeling of the com~ mittee was that the matter must be left entirely in the hands of the City Counci] and that any recommendations from the Citi- zen's Advisory Relief Committee. while they will doubtless receive very serious consideration, could not be taken as final in any de- gree as regards the personnel of the Public Welfare Board.

P, Davis. secretary of the lair, was bubbling over with enthusiasm over the prospects for the 1932 Fair, En- tries have been pouring in from all parts of Ontario and Durham Coun- ties, and from points farther afield, and indications point to one of the greatest agricultural shows ever seen at the Oshawa Fair. The di- rectors have been working hard to attain this end, and it is apparent, from the entry list at this date, that their efforts have borne fruit, and that the Oshawa and district people are going to be very agreebly surprised when they walk througn the buildings and watch the judging in the stock rings. All the Fair buildings are in ex- cellent condition, and the redecora- tion work which has been done this summer hag greatly enhanced the "Vappearance<iof 'the: buildinzs. All that is needed now is an assurance of favorable weath- er. If the sun is in a smiling mood, then it is certain that the Fair will break all records of recent years, and give the directors ample reward for the months of hard work which they have done in preparation for the event.

He left no doubt that he intends to stand by the Cabinet, and the only chance the Opposition has Is bet..€en dissolution of the Reichstag Nazi-Centrist | and adjournment pending further efforts to find a common basis for co-operation, The President will receive the various party leaders in pursuit of such efforts, but political observers do not expect much in the way of results On the contrary, it is ex- pected that the Chancellor will pre- sent a decree of dissolution before the Reichstag can vote no-confid- ence next week, This would entail a general elec- tlon, the firth major election this year, withi,, 60 days.
