â€" _ TOWN COUNCHL > _ SESSION OUITE Mr. A. F. Holland addressed m(‘ council in a protest against the earnâ€". ings of the unemployed being .apâ€" plied on relief orders. He clalmed‘ in no uncertain terms that an "un~ justice" was being done, and was} charging thé council with "favorit. ism", when Ald. Hilliard remarked‘ that the council was not a court of: trial over the relief board. ‘ The Waterloo Town counciiâ€" meetâ€" ing held on Tuesday, Sept. 6th, proved quite lengthy, owing to nuâ€" merous delegations addressing the council and the amount of business accumulated since the August meetâ€" ing. ‘ 0_ Numerous Delegations Heard. Holland‘s Criticism Stopped When Mr. Holland also claimed that potatoes purchased for relief were junk, several aldermen took exception and Ald. Hilliard seconded by Ald. Uffelman, moved that Mr. Holland be heard no further. On beâ€" ing assured that the matter would be referred to the relief Board, Ald. McIntyre® voted for the measure which was carried. â€" Wm. Pope then addressed the council re insurance policies carried by those on relie‘ He etated that the Ontario Secrtary Of Welfare had sanctioned uh policles.= Ask Work to Pay Taxes Mr. John Pfaff then appealed to the council for work with which to pay taxes. He said that many repair jobs could be undertaken with the $2.700 left in the Board of Works treasury. He was then informed that only $294 +remained which | was needed for bills. Harry Wolfe also added to Mr. Pfaff‘s demands and it was finally decided on motion of Reeve Ratz and Ald Mclntyre, that the board proâ€" ceed with some of the repair work. Ratepayers will be employed and it was decided 50 per cent of the amount earned by the men be apâ€" plied to taxes. Heating System to Change The matter of a heating system to heat both the Fire Hall and Town Hall was again brought up. Two re:â€" presentatives _ of â€" different firms spoke on behalf of their automatic stokers. After much discussion it was decided to hire Mr. Klaehn at $15 a day for two days. Mr. Klaehn, who is an expect at such work, is to submit & report on the situation. Last Midâ€"Week Market Reeve Ratz then reported on the newly approved plan of better tax collection. Ald. Uffelman announced that the last midâ€"week market had been held. After much discussion the matter of residential zones in Waterloo was deferred to a later date, when a draft by the town solicitor will have been made of such. This was on Ald. Hilliard‘s motion. Relief Costs Drop August relief in Waterloo totalled $2,153.60, a decrease from July of $1,151.92. Last year the cost was $1,450. : The expenditures were as follows: food. $1.548.10; shelter, $307.65; fuel, $30; clothing $50.73; medical, $98.20; Public Utilities Commission, $118.92 The case of Mra.

Martin removed from Wallenstein a wellâ€"known figure in farming life. He was about 62 years of age and the fifth son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Henry B. Martin ofâ€" East Wallenstein. Soon after his marriâ€" rge to Miss Ida Beatty he moved to the Thomas Haddow farm west of Wallenstein where he resided until his death. â€" 8 _ Had Suffered Several Strokes.â€"In His 62nd Year. CHAMPIONS STARLINGS The much abused starling cian has at last found a champion, and a lone one at that, in the person of Mr. Benjamin Schwandt, a Bresâ€" lau farmer. Mr. Schwandt believes that insect pests which have been a nuisance in the past have been entirely removed by the starlings. "I admit," he said, "that you could get along very nicely without the starling in the city, but he‘s a real hired man for the farmer." One year ago last Spring he suffered a_ stroke while bagging; grain in his granary and s#ome months later a milder one followed. During the forenoon of the day of his death he had been harrowing in the field but evidently had a preâ€" monition of impending danger, as he had unhitched his team ere the final stroke left him lyin%‘ lifeless on the fallow ground behind his harrows. Surviving him are his widow, two darg‘fhters, Mrs. Gordon Koerber of Bridgeport, and Mrs. Victor Macâ€" Lennan, West Wallenstein. He is also survived by three grandchildren and by three brothers, Amos of East Wallenstein and John and Ezra of Floradale. One sister, Mrs. Josiah Sittler, and three brothers, Daniel, Jacob and Noah, predeceased him some years ago. S o The funeral service, held at the family residence at two o‘clock on Saturday afternoon, was conducted by Rev. J. Ure Stewart of the Wesâ€" ley United Church, Elmira. Interâ€" ment was made ih the Hemlock Hill Mennonite Cemetery, one mile west ‘of St. Jacobs. by Council. LENGTHY WALLENSTEIN missed from the staff of the Old eople‘s Home, Kitchener, following the moeeting of the board on Wednesâ€" day. â€" _ _ Friction with the new manager, E. A. Amos was revealed when Mré, Henry was heard by the board. She complained of alleged interference ‘with her duties and in the firing of employees without notice. She tenâ€" dered her resignation because she was "fed up" with things, (effective Sept. 15th). Mr. Amos, however, thereupon _ told her she . was "through" at once. . 20% CRITICSM IS _ FATAL TO RADIO _At Newmarket subjected to a barâ€" rage of questions by students at the Conservative Summer School last week, on remedies for. the depresâ€" sion, Government control of radio broadcasting, and relief of farmers, all of which he anewered, Prime Minister R. B. Bennett remarked: "The people will have to decide wheâ€" ther they want to keep radio. If they continue their criticism of members of the Commission, even criticizing them by name in Hansard, they will woon wreck it. Such personal alttacks on members of a Commission are unâ€" heard of in England. You can easily part with radio, any timeâ€"you wish; but if you do you will find it hard to get it back." TwWO COUNTY HOME °_ : EMPLOYEES REMOVED Reeve Ratz, surprised that Nurse, Miss Simpson had not been disâ€" missed, moved that she be removed at once and criticized Mr. Amos for not doing «0 earlier. Mr. Amds in defending himself said that he was not playink favorites. Discusses Politics at Conservaâ€" tive School. Further Elucidation Mr. Benuett reiterated his «tateâ€" ment. delivered in Montreal on his return from England, that Canada could not increase wages and reduce hours of labor without losing her export trade, and promised further elucidation of his Government‘s poliâ€" cy during the next few weeks, after he has time to study the domestic situation. He told the students the time was not ripe for formulation of a policy to prevent depressions. He added any Conservative Government that did not learn by experience was not worthy of the name. In reply to a question on unemâ€" ployment insurance, he said unaniâ€" mous consent to amendment of the British North America Act permitâ€" ting Dominion legislation wae not essential. If negotiations for amendâ€" ment of the act falled, he declared, unemployment insurance could be set up in thoee Provinces which agreed to have it. ~ No Better System tn hi« speech on democracy, the P‘rime Minister said that, though de: mocracies have fallen in recent years in Germany, Italy and Egypt, "we see that man has not been able to evolve a better eystem than demoâ€" cracy for the good of the country." Defects of democracy, he said, were well known, as are its dangers and «teps that should be taken to overeqme them. Attorney _ General _ William H. Price â€" informed the Conservative Summer school, at Newmarket last week, during the discussion of Proâ€" vincial Treasurer Dunlop‘a address on "Treasury Problems," that the Government was now giving considâ€" crations to strong demands for costâ€" ler divorce actiona in Ontario. _ BLAME BINGHAMTON ENGINEER A discloeure that the engineer of a milk trnl? which telescoped the rear of the Bric‘s Atlantlc Plier, causing a toll of 14 deaths and seores infured knew the signals were against him, was turned up this week by a fiveâ€" day investigation into the wreck.

The survey the boards of trade agreed to complete is part of an effort to conserve Grand River water flow during the summer through erecâ€" tion of a large dam near Waldemat, which would have the effect also of controlling floods during the Spring which have done considerable damâ€" age to property in the past. ‘The project, if lauched this winâ€" ter, would provide $350,000 for re lief,, work in 10 municipalities borâ€" dering the river, and would cost beâ€" tween $600,000 and $700,000, of which $150,000 would be epent at iron founâ€" dries. . It was pointed out the scheme has to be ratified by all the municipaliâ€" es separately, hbefore it can beâ€" come effective. Councils in the towns interested, probably will be usked for their sanction around the end of October. Ratification, it was said, would enable the municipalitiés to provide money for the work withâ€" out resort to byâ€"laws, as the project would be classed as relief. If All Munjcipalities Approve, $350,000 Relief Work Will The entire Grand River conservaâ€" tion plan would cost $2,955,000, enâ€" gineers have estimated. It calls for dams at Pilkington and on the Coneâ€" stogo River, besides that at Waldeâ€" mar and a reservoir in Lutheran awamp. It has been suggested that work be Carried on under euperviâ€" cion of the Ontarib Hydro Electric Power Commission‘s construction deâ€" LOCAL COUPLE CELEBRATE 4014 ~ANNIVERSARY partment On Thursday, Sept. 7th, Dr. and Nrs.

BRUCE ‘"This is the mostâ€" favorable sign of industrial pickup we have had School Modelled on Same Lines as the Bowmanville Boys‘ Institution. > ¢ It was made clear that the instiâ€" tution was not a reformatory, but a place where underâ€"privileged chilâ€" dren might be given training by comâ€" petent instructors. It is modeled miong the same lines as the training schoo} tor boys in Bowmanville. With distinguisifed visitors from all parts of the province attending, Mrs. Herbert Bruce, wife of the Lieutenantâ€"Governor of Ontario on Thursday officially opened the doors of the new Ontario Givle‘ Training School near Galt. In the anditorium of the new brick buildings, addresses were delivered by Hon. Dr. Bruce, Premier George 8. Henry and Hon. W. G. Martin, who outlined the aims of the instiâ€" tution. Two large brick dormitories have been constructed in an attractive site just optside the city of Galt, with amplé, grounds for outdoor reâ€" creation surrounding the bullding. Attending the opening, in addition to government officials, were promâ€" inent welfare workers representing eeveral prominent organizations, and inspectore of children‘s shelters. Insige the structures there is acâ€" commodation for 50 girleâ€"25 in each â€"together with kitchens, and recreaâ€" tion rooms modernly equipped. Within the buildings, which are expected eventually to accommodate 150 children, studyâ€"echolastle and along other linesâ€"will be made availâ€" able.

TWO PETERSBURG YoUTHS GUILTY OF ROBBERY Russel Seip and Adoliph Rieck Reâ€" manded at Kitchener. Russel Seip, 17, and _ Adolph Rieck, _ 18, both _of â€" Petersburg, pleaded guilty in Kitchener police court on Monday to a charge of breaking and entering the home of Theodore Lautenschlager at Petersâ€" burg on Saturday night and stealing $41 in bills. They were remanded for one week for sentence. According _ to _ police, â€" Lautenâ€" schlager did not misa the money until early Sunday morning. He inâ€" formed â€" High County â€" Constable Whitesides at once. Lautenschlager stated that he had had a party on Saturday night, and furnished the officer with a list of the guests. After careful questioning Officer Whitesides took Seip and Rieck to police headquarters after they had admitted their guilt. f $14 in bills was found in the barn at Seip‘s home and $27 hidden in the ground at the Reick place. Lautenschlager is at a loss to underâ€" stand why the youths failed to touch $400 in change and cheques which were lying close to the bills. Entrance to the house was gained by breaking in one of the cellar windows. glone of the household heard the thieves at any time durâ€" ing their presence in the building.

He writes as follows: L RECOUNTS GREAT Halifax is a nice place to see but not so nice to live in unless one was born there. It can best be seen by touring it on foot, since some of the streets are so narrow that our car was caught between the street car and the sidewalk. â€" Halifax might be compared to the city of Chicago. Just as the Ameriâ€" can city was rebomn after the great q:e, so has Halifax changed since the great explosion of 1917. The story of the great disaster can rendily be learned from the guides. They willingly tell of how the great American ship carrying 2300 tons of explosives for the French collided with the Belgian Relief ship in the narrows between Halifax, and of how 1600 persons perished, 1100 persons were crippled, 600 blinded, and 1500 homes ware deatrofled. Anchors of the American ship which was blown to bits can be seen at city parks two and three miles from the scene of the explosion in the exact spots where the great anchors landed. On the arrival at the seaboard the Liberal Party under Angus Macdonald had just been returned to power, and so throughout our entire stay in the city we heard a great deal of political talk.

The excavating done this spring they felt had been well worth while, the cost apâ€" proximately $700. About 4 weeks more al a cost of $200, they thought, would complete the planned section. At present finances are low, the treaâ€" surer reporting only $200 on hand and poseible receipts would bring that up to $600 which would be needâ€" ed for expenses. The suggestion was ’ulso made that the creek above the \hridge be cleaned.
