Ra. In United POP YORF: . » »» + »» » + »@ m‘lfl“ RATES On application. Advertising copy must effice not later than Monday noon to insure The humanitarian work which a service organization can carry on in the community is well ilustrated in the efforts of the K.â€"W. Rotary Club in behalf of the. crippled children of the County. For the past four years the Club has made this its major activity and during that period over five hundred cases have been investigated and. scores have been examined gt the clinics held from year to year. Upwards of seventyâ€"two operations have been performed and apparatus supplied in over sixty cases, while remedial treatment has been given in scores of other cases. The need of continuing this humanitarian work is evident in the fact that over one hunâ€" dred cases were examined at the May clinic this year, the second largest number since the cliniecs were first inaugurated in 1923. Transâ€" portation to Toronto has been provided free of cost by Rotarians and in no case has there been a charge by surgeons or doctors, the expense being confined to hospital bills and cost of apparatus supplied which has been paid out of the club‘s Crippled Children‘s Fund. Where assistance is required, equipment, training and adaptation to useful occupation is also made the concern of the club members. : In devoting time and effort to so worthy a cause, this organization is performing a comâ€" mendable service to the community and when opportunity offers it should be encouraged by liberal contributions by citizens to the Crippled Children‘s Fund. â€" Thanksgiving Day, which was observed on Monday, found conditions throughout this goodly land such as to call for heartfelt thanks to a kind [’rovidence for the blessings of the past year. & Evidences of prosperity are to be seen on‘ every hand. Here in Ontario as well as throughâ€" out the various provinces, including the West where a wheat crop of over 400,000,000 bushels of golden grain has been garnered, there have been bountiful harvests. â€" Industrially, conâ€" ditions have not been as good for years, while the development of Canadian resourceg$ has been undertaken on a vaster scale than ever before. There have also been no serious epidemics and Canadians generally are in a state of contentment induced by the happy conâ€" ditions prevailing. > on Armistice Day, which is to be observed on Friday, November 11th, also provides an occaâ€" sion for Thanksgiving in that the bitter feelâ€" ings engendered by the war have disappeared and hearts once closed in enmity are toâ€"day open in good will towards all. As has been truly said, hands which once brandished the sword now guide the plow and the loom, the scythe and the pen. Armistice Day, however, specidlly serves as a day of grateful remembrance of the brave and gallant lads who went forth and did valiant battle for their country even to the making of the supreme sacrifice of life itself. Action was taken at a recent joint meeting of the Boards ‘of Health of Kitchener and Watâ€" erloo with. a view to entering into a joint arrangement in regard to providing adequate accommodation for isolation hospital. cases. The proposal has been made that an Isolation Hospital be operated jointly by the two municiâ€" palities on a similar basis to the arrangement in effect in operating the K.â€"W. Hospital. The move is one that should be encouraged as making for economical and efficient adminisâ€" tration with consequent increased service to the public. The outcome of the proposed meeting of the Boards with the K.â€"W. Hospital Comâ€" mission will be awaited with keen interest. * Toronto University recently observed its centenary with special gatherings, degrees beâ€" ing conferred on prominent leaders in political, professional, business â€"@md scholasti¢t life, inâ€" cluding the degree of "doctor" in the cases of Lieut.â€"Governor Ross, Premier Ferguson and Hon. Vincent Massey. The University continues to flourish and is one of the outstanding eduâ€" cational institutions of the continent. EIGHT CHARGES OF FALSE PRETENCES LAID AGAINST FORMER SUPERINTENDENT When Poter Cowan, former waterâ€" works superintendent of Galt, apâ€" peared in police court . there last week, the charge of theftt of $35.20 laid against him a week ago was withdrawn and cight new charges of false pretences totalling. $5,600.26 were laid, one for each year coverâ€" Ing the cight years from 1927 back to 1920. * The first charge was drawn up As follows : "Charged that Potor.Cowan, durâ€" Ing the year 1920 did uniawfully ob tain the sum of one hundréd and One Year, THANKSGIVING AND ARMISTICE | DAY | A HUMANITARIAN WORK JOINT ISOLATION HOSPITAL # PROPOSED SUBSCRIPTION RATES Thureday by David Bean and Sone, eighty4ive dollars and forty cents ($185.40) from the public utilities commission of the city of Galt by false pretences. contrary to the criminal code." M. A. Secord, K.C., appearing for“ the accused, withheld plea and olecâ€" tion, and the caso was remanded until Nov. 8 with the understanding that it was to be remanded again for another week, namely Nov. 15, as Crown Attorney Bowlby would be unable to be present at the earifer date. Bail was increased from $1000 to $11,000, of which $5,000 is Mr. Cowan‘s own bail, while the remainâ€" )u $6,000 is composed of two sa #ureties of $3,000 each. C Waterloo is indicated in the population returns | aue for the year just made public by Assessor| _ Hachnel. The records show the substantial inâ€" crease of population of 824, bringing the total number in the municipality to 7,450. In the south and east wards are recorded the largest increases due to an extensive building camâ€" paign carried on during the past twelve months, In this district have sprung up many handsome residences, and this section has become one of the most desirable residential districts in the Wlthbxmmmwgd‘ insurance concerns located here which are steadily expanding, the further growth of the town is to be anticipated. In another decade or so it is quite possible that the municipality of Waterloo will qualify as a city, Waterloo‘s financial institutions and manufacturing estabâ€" lishments being solid, substantial ones which give every evidence of continued growth and The prediction that the Canadian West would this year enjoy one of the largest crops in its history has been fulfilled despite set backs due to frost, hail and unseasonable weather, the wheat yield alone being over 400,000,000 bushels. Threshing is about completed and the returns to Western farmers, with the marketâ€" ing of the crops, will have the effect of stimuâ€" lating business throughout the entire Dominion. â€"It is also encouraging.to note that the central provinces of Ontario and Quebec had a eatisfactory year. In Quebec the crops were better than the average in yield and quality with the exception of corn and potatoes which were affected by excessive moisture and cold weather while the hay and fodder crops in both provinces were exceptionally heavy. In Ontario, however, the corn crop suffered through adverse conditions, the final estimate being 42 per cent 'below the returns of last year. It is also worthy of note that the principal field crop of the Maritimes, potatoes, is exâ€" pected to be at least up to the five year average. Hay, fodder and grain were all an average crop of fair quality. In Nova Scotia, however, ‘the apple crop was but 62 per cent of a five year average. ‘ _ On the Pacific Coast conditions were generally satisfactory. The apple crop was 15 per cent of normal. It is interesting to note that the returns in the tobacco crop are very satisfactory, a large acreage being planted to tobacco in Onâ€" tario and Quebec. 42,028 acres were planted to this crop in 1927 with an estimated production of 43,916,700 lbs. The total production of 35,â€" 522,400 pounds in Ontario is by far the largest tobacco crop yet grown in will Party of Americans that war between Britain and the United States would mean the destruction of civilization. He rightly said that war between these two. peoples is unthinkable. The United States is sending a new amâ€" bassador, Mr. Dwight W. Morrow, an eminent business and financial man, to Mexico, with a view to establishing more cordial relations beâ€" tween the two countries. Antiâ€"Americanism feeling is quite pronounced in Mexico and the move is welcomed in both countries. duced in Cleveland, Ohio, by a newly organized homicide squad that is doing much to ensure the safety of that city‘s streets. The squad has already secured many manslaughter conâ€" vicition on charges of reckless driving. . A new organization "The Society for Preâ€" servation of Canadian Forests" was recently formed with the slogan "Save the Forests." The object, which is a commendable one, is to aid the government in enforcing laws for the prevention of forest fires. Canada‘s resources in this respect, although large, are not illimitâ€" able and waste and carelessness will in time exhaust any known resource. servers, not only in this coufitry but from across the sea , is bright with promise.
