The remodelled system will ensure the solution of the problem created by a rapidly growing community which has necessitated the changes carried out and which required a subâ€" stantial outlay. The town now has a system which will serve the municipality for years to come, being adequate for a population of The remodelling of the plant entailed the expenditure of a large sum, a part of which was borne by the provincial and federal governâ€" ments under the plan of assisting municipalities which engaged in undertakings for the employâ€" ment of those out of work. The efficiency with which the system is operating indicates that the changes have been carried out satisfactorily. After careful consideration of the proposal to establish an intermediate school in which first form collegiate work for Waterloo pupils would be carried on in order to relieve overâ€" crowded conditions at the K.â€"W. Collegiate and Vocational School, the Waterloo Public School Board has gone on record as opposed to taking the step. It was noted that if the local board took over first form work and received the grants paid to the Collegiate because of the Vocational Department, it would cost $7,264.88 for the town and county pupils. If the grants were not received, this cost would beincreased to $11,921. Inspector Roberts, in commenting on the question, said the changes in the educational system as proposed with the inauguration of an intermediate school were contrary to all modern principles of education. It was an upset in the established viewpoint of public schools taking fifth class work but obviously the education reâ€" ceived is not equal to that received in a highly developed school under highly developed specialâ€" ists. He also stated, in commenting on the proâ€" posal, that there is no place where any idea on conducting an intermediate school could be obâ€" tained. It was pointed out that Waterloo has a large interest in the Kitchenerâ€"Waterloo Colâ€" legiate and it was, therefore, inadvisable to construct or arrange for an intermediate school here. "In such times as these, when a serious aituation confronts our people and when those who are charged with the responsibility of adâ€" ministration are racked with anxiety, I hold it to be the duty of every citizen to abandon or In view of the fact, as the senior principal stated, that the pupils are now under a highly experienced staff and are receiving a fine eduâ€" cation under the present system, and that the proposed school would be more or less of, an experiment, it is not surprising that the Board should fail to approve the proposal. The overcrowded conditions at the Colâ€" legiate, however, constitute a problem which still remains to be solved. That criticism of the Hydro Commission is arousing the ire of that body was evident in the remarks of Hydro Commissioner Maguire, who spoke at Waterloo the other day when he expressed resentment because of the "carping criticism"" to which the commission is being subjected. "Canada is sound and in these times of stress it is the duty of everyone to support those whom, in the words of the catechism, aré ‘put in authority over us‘," declared Sir Henry Thornton, Chairman and President of the Canadian National Railways, in the course of an important address delivered during his annual visit to the Pacific Coast. Sir Henry aspoke in part as follows: The Waterloo Chronicle While it will be generally acknowledged that the Hydro has proven a great boon to the province indicated in the fact that the people of Ontario had been saved many millions of dollars through its operation, fuller explanation as to the value secured for the payment of $50,000 to John Aird, Jr., by the Ontario Hydro Commission, and of power contracts entered into which have been criticized adversely, would serve a useful purpose. A royal commission inâ€" quiry into Hydro would appear to be contemâ€" plated by the government which according to an announcement of Premier Henry is studying the contracts in detail. Based on these studies the government will decide what is best to do. A judicial inquiry would set at rest conâ€" jectures with regard to the potwer contracts entered into and serve to enlighten the public in regard to the matters complained of. NOT IN FAVOR OF ESTABLISHING INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL HERE ENQUIRY INTO HYDRO CONTRACTS CONTEMPLATED CANADA IS SOUND AND WILL RECOVER, THORNTON STATES WATERLOO HAS MODERN SEWERAGE PLANT at least relax political and sectional strife, lndl in whatever difference of opinion there may be.‘ to support those who in the words of the catechism are ‘put in authority‘. Quite irre spective of what political party might happen to hold power, 1 would equally venture this advice. We all have an abiding and unbounded faith in our country. Fundamentally we are perfectly sound and solvent, We are better off than many other countries. We will return to \nurma.lity quicker than other nations. ‘‘The great natural resources of Canada! are the same as they were three years ago. We‘ have the same courageous, conscientious and lawâ€"abiding people. This is not the time for the display of strife, nor to seek the sacrificial goat. No section of this country can really prosper unless the whole country prospers. Let us thereâ€" fore resolve unselfishly and coâ€"operatively to dedicate ourselves to ‘the support of our conâ€" stitutionak authority and stand shoulder to shoulder in a time of common but temporary ’danger. "The great banks of Canada have had enâ€" viable records. They are the trustees of funds confided to them and that trusteeship has been faithfully executed. Since the present depresâ€" sion descended upon us, let us say since July, 1929, there has not been a single bank closure in the whole of Canada, and while I am far from drawing comparisons from the misforâ€" tunes of others, it is a striking fact that in the United States, admittedly the most opulentl nation in the world, there have been approxiâ€" mately 2,400 bank closures during the period mentioned, involving deposits amounting to one billion, four hundred and seventyâ€"nine million dollars. Of course, all of this sum is by no means lost, as there will be at least a degree of salvage, but the comparion points vividly to llhc solvency and strength of Canadian banks and their ability to weather such a storm as we are at present encountering. I state emphatic~ ally that all of the banks of Canada are sound, solvent and in a position to meet fully their obligations. Their fundamental soundness is ’one of the bright spots of our Canadian situation." The Southern Commission on Lynching has arrived at some definite conclusions on this old American custom and it has not hidden them from the nation. Here are the findings in brief : they show up the tissue of lies by which this modern savagery has been boistered up; 1. There is real doubt of guilt of at least half of the victims of mob violence. 2. Fewer than oneâ€" fourth of the persons lynched since 1890 have been accused of assaults upon white women. 3. Claims that lynchings are necessary because courts do not convict Negroes for their crimes are fallacious. 4. Mob leaders can be identified without difficulty, aithough grand jury indictâ€" ments seldom are brought. 5. Lynching is most frequent per tens of thousands of Negro popuâ€" lation in sparsely settled areas, 6. There is a direct relationship between lack of education, economic status, and lynching danger. The reâ€" port has been hailed by the press and the public as a document which puts in authoriâ€" tative and impressive form conclusions held for a long time by every enlightened Southerner. That the town of Waterloo is rapidly approaching the status of a city is evident in the figures disclosed in the 1981 edition of the Kitchener and Waterloo directory which gives the population of the municipality as 8,889. Canadians are better off today in many respects than they were in the "goliden era‘" which followed the turn of the century; they have $10,000,000 more in savings banks today than at the same date in 1929; the Canadian people have six and a half billions of life insurâ€" ance as against $431,000,000 in 1910 and in addition they hold $3,600,000,000 worth of Dominion, Provincial and Municipal bonds, said M. Grattam O‘Leary, wellâ€"known Canadian writer, in the course of a radio address recently. Twenty years ago, Mr. O‘Leary continued, five per cent. of Canada‘s population were living in one room. Today, with a population of about 10,000,000, less than two per cent. are oneâ€"room dwellers and upwards of 60 per cent. of Canaâ€" dian homes are owned by the families who cccupy them. For a longâ€":time the shameful barbarity of lynching has been covered by ‘"The veil of chivalry and the mask of protection of womanâ€" hood," says a writer in commenting on the subject. This covering is being slowly but surely removed and the abomination has been revealâ€" ed, says the Macon Telegraph, "as a stark, ugly thing for which there is no defence." As to unemployment, more people are gainâ€" fully employed in Canada today than in the peak employment season of 1926, according to figures issued by the Dominion Bureau of statistics. As compared with 1901 there are 10,000 more industries in Canada, employing 300,000 more people, and paying out annually $6424,000,000 in wages while producing $3,â€" 000,000,000 more in goods. In every conceivable sphere of the national life there has been extraâ€" ordiary development, Mr. O‘Leary stated. There are more good roads, more electrical developâ€" ment, more and better transportation, more livestock, more produce from: farms, mines, forests and fisheries, more convenience and more comforts for Canadians today than ever before in their history. ' BETTER CONDITIONS THAN DECADES AGO LYNCHING CONDEMNED THE WATERLOOQO CHRONICLE With the coming of cold weather, live stock has been stabled and is in better condition than usual. Ar inâ€" creased acreage of fall plowing is reâ€" ported from the majority of counties. Fall wheat has an excellent top and should pass the winter in good conâ€" ’\‘hlion. A coneiderable quantity of heavyy, wellâ€"Afished poultry is being marketed and the volume wJll inâ€" crease as the festive season apâ€" proaches. Pouitry Grades Most of the poultry being offered on the market this year is being graded in accordance with governâ€" ment standards, with the class and grade marked by tags affixed to the breast of the bird. There are two classes of poultry, "Milkâ€"fed," die tinguished by white fat, and "Selectâ€" ed," distinguished by yellow fat Within these classes are the grades "Milkfed A." "Milkfed B." "Selected A," "Selected B" and "Selected C." ‘Gradlng of the birds in this manner enables the householders to choose good dressed poultry with great )case, Every hen house should be cleanâ€" ed before putting in the pullet crop A good thorough cleaning consists of removing the litter and all poul try house fixtures, such as mash hoppers. drinking fountains and the like, then flushing the walls, cefing, dropping boards and floor, scraping 110058 any dirt that may have a tenâ€" dency to stick. After the house has been thoroughly cleaned it is ready for a coat of whitewash. This will improve the appearance of your hen house, make it much lighter for the birds and at the same time help to kill parasites and disease germs. A common practice is to add a pint of disinfectant to a gallon of whiteâ€" wash.

Mr. John Buchanan of the O.A.C., spoke of practical ways of business keeping in close touch with agricul tural life and he related the experiâ€" ence of the Kiwanis (lub of Guelph in forming a Turnip Club. The Guelph district is noted for turnips and grows 6,000 to 8,000 carloads yearly. Eighteen boys were enrolled and each sponsored by an individual Kiwanlan. Each boy had an aere of land and was provided with seed and fertilizer. When thinning time came, Iluey held a turnipâ€"thinning contest. each boy to hoe his row until the first boy finished. While the turnips grew well, this year for some reason was Not a good season for turnips When opened up they were soft in the centre and the buyers wouldn‘t take them. As the result of the Turâ€" nip Club, groups of shippers. seedsâ€" men and others were brought toâ€" gether at the College and a lot of light was [et into the matter of growing turnips. Embargo Lifted â€" The embargo on the importation of cattle from the Old Country has been removed so far as Scotland ki concerned, since there have been no â€" outbreaks â€" of â€" footâ€"andâ€"mouth disease.in that country over a satieâ€" factory period. Animals from Scotâ€" land may now be imported providing that they are embarked at a port in ‘Scotland on a vessel sailing direct to Canada without touching at an Engâ€" lish port. The feed accompanying the cattle for the use en route must also have been grown and stored in ’Scotland. The order permits conâ€" aideration of applications for the Imâ€" portation ofâ€" cattle, sheep. other ’ruminants. and ewine from Scotland. _ Hon. Thomas L. Kennedy has anâ€" rounced that with a view to develâ€" ‘npinx new â€" solutions to â€" general farm problems, lowering farm taxes and eecuring better financial termé for the farmers, he is calling at an ‘mryl date a conference at Queen‘s Park _ with â€" representatives | from every county council in the older part of Ontario.

K. Reek, in announc: Ing the plans of the Ontario Standâ€" in Field Crop Committee to promote the use Of legumes freely next «pring. Ontario had a good crop this year of alfalfa and red clover seed aud it is expected that both of these will be reasonable in price next spring. Alsike may be included also as high tariffe discourage export. Mr. Reek says: "As a soil builder, pasture and hay producer, alfalfa slands supreme. At Ridgetown we practise seeding all grain crops to al falfa or mixture of alfalfa and other .legumes Even for plowing down, alfalfa opens up the soil and adds mnitrates and other plant tfoods to a value worth much more than the price of seed. It also improves the mechanical condition of the eoil for the production Of beans, corn, fall wheat, and other crops. As a hay crop, alfalfa outâ€"ylelds all others, both in quantity and quality. It was the only crop to remain green for pasture during recent very dry years in Western Ontario."

POLICE COURT NOTES NEGRO 18 LYNCHED MAN TO HOSPITAL A distinction should be drawn beâ€" tween a iaw fmposing a speed iimit and a law directed against the drivâ€" ing of a motor car recklessly or to the danger Of the public. In some caseq speed is an important factor in reckâ€" less driving, but not by any means in all cases. 1 doubt whether any person has greater cause for just trritation with the law than the man who is fined for exceeding the «peed limit when he was driving withou danger to others. We have two abuses. First of all, the motoring public has been subject in very many cases to unjust eaploitation by way of fines, and, giowing out of~ this there is a d{sâ€" respect for law and authority which, ir the present condition of society and world affairs, is very disturbing. Now, wha is the remedy for these two abuses? | suggest that the remeâ€" dy is the abolition of the speed limit. You ask me, "What, is there going to be no restraint upon those driving upon the highway?" My reply is. "Most decidedly. yes." But the reâ€" straint should take the form of a measure providing that the car must always be operated within a limit of speed that is safe under the cireumâ€" stances. The advantage of any such arâ€"|Z rangement is Obvious. There is at|& the present time upon the highways |& a class of people who cause probably ‘Z the greatest amount of trouble; who Z feel that If they keep their cars reaâ€" "=' sonably within the speed lim{t lafd ': dewn by the law they are duoing all ‘Z that is required of them. As a result, i 4 when gecidents happen we frequentâ€" _T| ly hear the excuse, "Well, 1 was Z2 driving within the speed limit." It seems to me that if that type of driâ€" l_:_ ver had placed upon him the direct |z and definite responsibility of at all!Z times maintaining a speed limit that )3 was safe, having regard to the cirâ€" i:â€".‘_ cumstances, there would be a dl-i-!: tinct improvement in the conditions ;E of driving upon the highways. In & other words, the responsibility would |& be personal and individual ralher‘E than general, and I venture to sugâ€" & gest that there would be a \'orij prompt response from the driving & public VE Mayor Bezean recently reported that representatives of an outside company were looking about in Kitâ€" chener for a euitable factory «ite with a view to locating in the city.
