Whitby Chamber of Comm 1erce ou, Fr1- 7evening Russell T. Keiiey laid great ess on the fact that trade -in a. town like itby càu be increased by a -careful. coe'- ge and -cutivation by consistent ,adver- ng of the trading area immediately.sur- nding the town. K-nowing the town's, )graphical position the speaker felt that r in the farming communities that new fineas la te b. had, by Whitby. stores. e opinion was expressed that this was cof the f unctions of a Chamberof Com- ýrce, end one that would bring satisfac-» 'y resulta. n this connection the speaker. stressed fact that bundreds of >business con- -ns are every business day lu the' week lciting business through ' one, fôrm or., other froan the people, of Whitby and t as a rule people shioppe d where tbey ýre invited. Hie stressed furtber that- rchants shouid let the people.. of the' xvn and country know what they have offer, and by efficient service and a endiy and belpf ul interest lu the .people the farming communities seek te in-. tuse their business. Witli such beipful suggestions as were rown out by a man of, Mr. Keiley's busi-. ss experience stillinlutheiÉr memories, al business bouses sbeuld individuaiiy d coliectiveiy, or through the Chamber Commerce if they will,- reach out. for re business. The merchants -should as 'Keliey advised cultivate -a knowledge rural conditions, carry out tie. sugges- ,n that the Chainber of Commerce bold'a icheon shortiy to whicb each memrber' nl bring a farmner-, and. by effective ad- rtiÉdng demonstrate that they bave the ods te seli at prices that wîll compare orably with those of the large outside irês who in order to get. business neyer ýe an opp ortunityr to,'advýertisc.

Help -Mothefji<jh One Child It is believed that at the next. -session of Ontario Legislature the Md(thers'-.Allo.w-, arice Act will be arnended to provide that: allowance*s may be. paid to the mother of one child instead 'of two or' more., as. at <present. This, the Gazette, and Chroniclabelieves, would be a blessin g toe mariy for the moth- er Of one may be in just: as bad circum-, stne s the mother of two, and it. would help thée mother -of Iseveral -children .but -only one under. sixteen.' The additional expense mncurried by this amendment, we f eel sure, would not be' great, and even if it was, it would be- mo ney well spent.- It *is a first class invest- ment to keep a capable. mother .and child-. re)i together after the head of the-house has gone. Helping Other Sufferera Out in the west there are thousands of" families. in dire distress because of drought rüining their. crops. . Many of them have suif e c omplete crop losses for the last tre <f4Our years, and their onfly hope for siteace during the ..coming: ýwinter lies i~n the generosityý of .their fel- Iow-Canadians in the east. In order to. help them in their extremity, théý United Churches of this district are plann ing to- loald a car Of fruit- and veget- ables,- and gend it to themi. This is a c oi- ruendable project. .1n spite, of the dry sea- son- here, there is, throughout this çistrict, an. abundance'of fruit and vegetables,ý froin whiceh it. should be possible ta spare a gen- erous portion to help feed -the suiferers. in the -west. Farmers who grow large crops of vegetables * might well spare soine. to hèélp fil! this car... Fruit growers with an abun- dant c rop of- apples, niany of- which are now- unfit, for exPort, on. account of hall, but which would be à- Gods end to the folks in the west, might' easily: spare them a few barrels. This ' is a great co-operative and humani- tfarian enterprjse, and we are confident that' .the people of South Ontario will measure Up to the opportunity which has been pre- *sented to them, to help their westçrn breth- ren in tleir- disitress. St. Francis and TheBid Followi 1ng the life of St.. FrAncis of Assisi, who died'more than seven. hundred years: ago, there began a revolution, in' , ian's relation to birdlife which has neyer *died and which' in these latter days is.ad- vancing with & he creation 'of bird sanctu- aries in alI parts of.the world.
