The two other men who were nominated and withdrew were Fred Dent and Fred Draper Election On Saturday The men nominated have until 9 p. m. tonight to file their quali- fications and if more than two of * them decide to run for office the election for the two seats will be held next Saturday, giving probab- ly one of the shortest election cam- paigns in the history of the town. The election will be held so soon after the nominations because the date of the bylaw voting has al- ready been announced and adver- tised and cannot be changed with- . out considerable expense. ! When the nominations had all i been received the meeting was : thrown open for the speeches by the ! candidates. George T., Davidson, a constable, told the meeting that a seat on the Council would pe something new for him, but that if he did qualify he would guarantee that the ratepay- £ ers would have a financial state- 'ment in their hands at the nomin- meeting.

Charles Broughton, of Dundas east, told the listeners that he had not yet decided whether to be a candidate but that if he did stand he would do. his best for the town. = George W. Huntley in the same position. T Housing Question The longest speech of the evening was given by Russell J. Underwood, of Burns Street, who announced definitely that he would be a can- 'didate of a seat on the Council. Discussing the housing question, and the houses that he claimed at an earlier meeting he could build for $2500, Mr, Underwood said 'I am willing to carry out an agree- ment with anybody who wants me to build them a house at that price." A workingman, afford to buy a $5000 house and keep it up, but he would, if given a permit to build, supply cheaper homes for the working men, He pointed out that such a price would not include the lot, furnace or hardwood floors, but that it would be a well built fomr room house with a full cellar. TRANSFORMER FAILED P.U.C. workmen were called upon last night for some unexpected work when the transformer at Brock and St. Peter streets failed at 7.30 p.m. throwing many houses in the area into darkness.

All the property was in Mara Township, the other sections having been redeemed previous to the sale. With Miss E. A. McKay acting as auctioneer, results found the coun- ty $208 in excess of the arrears, but this extra money will be returned to the original owner in most cases. An interested crowd attended and William Shackleton, R. R. 2, Bre- sixth of an acre for $63, while Wil- liam Finn of R. R. 1, Atherley, paid $265 for 50 acres of land adjoining his own property, and was pleased to get it at so low a figure. Clear titles to these lots will not be given for a year, and the original owner can reclaim them at any time within that year by paying the purchaser the cost plus ten per cent, ! Douglas, Isle of Man--(CP)--The 0 judges of the Isle of Man-- ey have the local title of deem- sters--are getting pay increases of £300 ($1,200) a year, to 1,700 pounds Health Board Investigates Trailer Camps At their first meeting since Aug- ust the Board of Health yesterday decided to investigate the trailer settlements in the town, and asked the Town Council to pass a bylaw prohibiting the trailers from being located on any land not designated as a trailer camp, With chairman Ross Munro pre- siding the members discussed the question of the trailers which are being used as dwellings in various sections of the town, and decided that there should be some town re- gulation establishing suitable places for these trailers to stay. The other question brought up was that of the T.B, survey, which is almost completed in Oshawa. Dr. F. A. Cuddy, Whitby MOH , told the board members that he thought such a survey in Whitby would cost approximately $1,500, but that such a survey would be very valuable in the town. He felt that the help of the local service clubs would be needed to make the comprehensive survey possible, ® From Readers WON'T ALLOW CREDIT Editor, Times-Gazette, The Whitby Rehabilitation Com- mittee wishes to thank the mer- chants of Whitby, who have co-op- erated with the veterans of Whitby in the purchasing of goods on re- establishment credits. Apparently there are one or two merchants who refuse to give vet- erans that cooperation that other merchants have given. Complaints have been received from vets that they are having difficulty doing business with one or two mer- chants when the merchants learn that they want to spend their re- establishment credits. This is a situation which should be somrected 2s soon as possible, and 1,600 pounds respectively. y James Whitby Rehabilitation Committee, Moral, Not Speaking to a large congrega- tion at the Baptist Church on Sunday evening upon the Rela- tion of the Christian Church to the new Liquor Act of the Drew administration the minister of the church said, "I have no relish for preaching such a sermon but feel that the Christian Church would be untrue to its responsibility for the social and moral welfare of men if it kept silent in such an hour. "I would make it plain that my, sermon is no criticism of the Prime Minister or his political policy apart from this particular piece of legislation," he said, "It is my opinion that the issue is primarily a moral, and not a po- litical one. It is unfair to use it as a lever either for or against any political party in power or out of it, It is because I believe it to be a moral issue that I feel I have a right to speak as a Christian minister in a Christian pulpit upon this, subject, = can. not conceive how the church can remain silent upon a question in- volving the spiritual, moral and physical well-being of such multi- tudes as this one does." Blameg Liquor Interests He would be a naive man in- deed who did not realize how completely the 'liquor interests are behind this policy to legalize and publicize drinking. "Let's bring it into the open" has been the cry of the liquor po- trons for the last five decades. "The more open and public it 1% the less people will drink' is the argument of the sponsors of the new Act, which is tantamount to saying that if you would give the people a license to rob and encou- rage them to do it at proper hours &. Januck, PreseNTS GENE TIERKE, 7) NOW PLAYING Two Shows at 7.00 and 9.00 At the flood- tide \ of her glory! Cocktail Bar Issue Is Political you would reduce the crime wave accordingly, Quoting the Prime Minister to the effect that: people will drink less when they come out from be- hind closed door and drink under conditions which will expose them to the ordinary demands of gooa conduct in public places, the min- ister commented, "that statement may have been made in all sin- cerity, but one must criticize it as amazingly nailve--and without » Droof in any previous situation." "Public" Drinking No Good It is plain, in his argument for d.ceney in public drinking either that Mr, Drew does not remember the days of open drinking or he conveniently forgets them. I have seen plenty of that '"'well-behaved public drinking' in England, that is so applauded in this country these days. I was raised in a vil- lage of approximately 500 people in which were five public houses, If the Prime Minister imagines that an intoxicated person is less offensive on the street tham he is in a back parlour, either he uses his motor car more than his legs or the hotels of Toronto are more particular as to whom trey permit to pass out on to the streets than those here. "It is promising nothing new to say that the government would have more jurisdiction over the outlets than they now have.'The Liquor Control Board according to the promises made at the intro- duction of Beverage Rooms would close at once any beer-parlours wrere the best conditions did not exist, Having looked in on some of those beer-parlours in the pro- vince I can only say that if the 'best conditidns" prevail in them I would certainly not venture in one where the 'worst conditions' prevail, "One answer of the church to pthe whole question lies in her Evangelistic mission. No Christ- ian genuinely concerned for the betterment of mankind can fail, surely, to sound the note of an in- tense evangelism in thes. days."

He defeated his only opponent, Dr. N. E. McEwen of Pickering, by more than 250 votes of a totale vote of 1326. . With all the other members of the > i Township Oouncil and the school : board receiving acclamatiens the vote was even lighter than last year and less than thirty per cent uf the voters cast ballots at yesterday's election, An analysis of the voting shows that Dr. McEwen, who has been an unsuccessful candidate at various elections since 1921, won a large ma- jority in the Highway No. 2 villages of Pickering, Liverpool and Dun- barton but lost heavily in the northern and western sections of the township. The final result was: Annis--1789, McEwen--537, Last year at an election in which there was voting for other olfizes too Mr. Annis won 908 votes to Dr. McEwen's 657. Date Was Changed A few months ago the Pickering Council moved the date of the elec- tion forward from the first Mon- day in January to the second Mon- day in December in the hope of en- ticing a larger number of the town- ship's voters to the polls, Whether they regard this election as a fair test of their new date remains to be seen.
