Dun-das and Glengarry counties council today appointed a special committee to interview the federal government to stress advantages of the two-stage development. The committee consists of the reeves of the various municipalities bordering, the St. Lawrence and is as follows: Warden Robert Mc-Naughton, Charlottenburgh; Edgar Whittaker, Williamsburg towTiship; F. H. Broder, Morris-burg; J.

L. Johnson, Cornwall; J. McDonald, Cornwall township; Wallace Gallinger, Osnabruck; W. J. Major, Lancaster township: James Dufresne, Lancaster village; Alfred Deeks, Matilda; F.

J. Hadley, Iroquois village. The St. Lawrence power scheme was brought up for brief discussion by Walter J. Campbell, deputy reeve of Osnabruck.

Mr. Campbell introduced a motion asking that council appoint a committee to interview the Dominion government and point out the advantages of the two-stage development of the proposed power project. Mr. Campbell's motion referred to the resolution passed by council at the January session petitioning the government to inaugurate the two-stage development. Mr.

Campbell said he understood the one-stage development would result in far more damage to territory in the United Counties adjacent to the St. Lawrence. Attempt to Protect Land. Reeve F. H.

Broder (Morris-burg), said he felt council should follow up its resolution concerning SMITHS FALLS. Oct. 24 (Special) Mrs. C. Willoushby.

Smiths Falls, has received a letter from Lance Bombardier Scott who is with a Canadian artillery battery "Somewhere in England" and some of his war experiences are sketched from the letter. "I have been promoted since arriving in England and hope your son is getting on too. have seen a bit of action when "Jerry" takes it into his head to give us a dose of eggs, but we give him back plenty too. Even as I write I can hear and see the guns and bombs, but they are a few miles away.

"You are quite right when you the power project by sending a deputation to interview government officials at Ottawa. "Until recently the two-stage development was thought to be the better one," Reeve Broder commented. "The single-stage plan now lias been mentioned as the one most likely to be carried out.

so many Americans argue that Hitler began his war with an eye on a national election this year. Well, say Americans, Hitler may make the same mistake. They take their politics pretty seriously, but don't let a third party stick his nose into the fight. It's a strictly private scrap. The latest charge of Roosevelt's enemies is that freedom of the press will disappear if he gets another four years of power.

That Egg Again That egg which hit Willkie at Chicago threatens to become the egg that splashed around the world. Al Smith says it is a result of the way people live and think under Roosevelt. They said Raymond Moley, erstwhile New Dealer who is now campaigning for Willkie, turned red when a Virginia farmer publicly presented him with a ham described as "the emblem of our party." The crowd tittered when Moley took the ham In his arms. They laughed out loud when Moley described the great Willkie sweep as "a great wind that has come out of the west." There are thinking people who wonder where the present enthusiasm for opinion polls will lead, whether the time will come when private polls will settle everything before election day. They have even had a poll to find out whether people thought young Elliott Roosevelt, son of the President, should have got into the army with a commission.

The answer was bitterly in the negative. DETROIT, Oct. 25 (A.P.) John L. Lewis' endorsement of Wendell L. Willkie drew both support and attack tonight from leaders of the Congress of Industrial Organizations' second largest affiliate, the United Automobile Workers of America.

In the first expressions of sentiment, however, critics outnumbered supporters. The automobile workers West Side local of Detroit, which claims a membership of 26,000, wired Lewis in Washington that it was "grievously disappointed" in him and charged that he had "betrayed the membership." Two members of the union's international executive board took opposing stands. Richard T. Frankensteen said at Toledo that he considered Lewis "one of the finest men that ever lived" but that now "for the first time on a major issue I have to disagree with him." Leo Lamotte asserted that "to me, John L. Lewis always has been correct until proven wrong.

And I don't think he's wrong now." Other comment follows: Philadelphia Officers of the American Federation of Hosiery Workers (C.l.O.) telegraphed a pledge of "continued loyalty and enthusiastic support" to President Roosevelt They said Lewis "spoke tonight for himself and not for the vast majority of workers" in the C.l.O. Paterson, N.J. Irving Abram-son, first vice-president of the New Jersey State C.I.O., asserted that Lewis had "betrayed organized labor for the moneyed interests of Wall street." Memphis, Tenn. Harry Martin, international vice-president of the American Newspaper Guild (C.l.O.) telegraphed Lewis that "your desertion of Franklin Delano Roosevelt is a shocking betrayal of the trust vested in you by American workers." 71 "Si 1 hammocks slung between the which has been taken out of ser Eli Scharf Dies While At Work On Farm At Wakefield WAKEFIELD.

--z7 to 1 i1 Protest Language At Mock Marriage In Radio Program ALMONTE, Oct. 25. (Special) Following a meeting of the Almonte Ministerial Association in which a recent CBO broadcast "Life and Love of Dr. Susan." was discussed thoroughly, a resolution was passed condemning the program, and it was decided to forward a letter to that effect to the chairman of the Canadian Broadcasting Commission. The letter is as follows: "On Monday, Oct.

21, 1940. a program "Life and Love of Dr. Susan" came over CBO at 12.45 p.m., the closing part of which was the recital of the marriage ceremony, the principals in the marriage being John and Charity, and the officiating officer. The ceremony followed closely the language long used by the churches and it concluded with the recital of the words of the prayer which ended with the usual form in the name of the Second Person of the Trinity. "The Ministerial Association of Almonte, unanimously and strongly protest against the use of the publicly-owned CBO in broadcasting for the amusement of the public, a sacred ceremony, and more especially the use of a mock prayer addressed to the Eternal in the name of His Son.

This, in our judgment, was blasphemy of the mast flagrant and unpardonable kind, against which we lodge our strongest protest." New liri1ge Completed BROCKVILLE. Oct. 25 (Special) The new bridge on the scenic provincial highway at Lan-don's Bay, west of here, has now been completed and. with grading at the approaches which is underway, a route from the Thousand Islands Bridge to Halstead's Bay will be open to traffic.

DC, Oct. 25 John L. lirwis, bushy-he adrd czar of labor, last night made the most spectacular wager of the campaign. Mr. Lewis bet his job on Willkie to be next president of the United States.

Whether Mr. Lewis made any involuntary bets for Mr. Willkie remains to be seen because no man can be certain of the result of this half-hour nation-wide broadcast which has been built up by days of yecrrcy, mystery and speculation. The National Committee of Democrats for Willkie paid $45,000 for the lwis mdio time, thereby knowing their faith that Lewis still mgs enough power to be worth the money. It is widely gossiped that the privilege of naming a new secretary for labor under Willkie was part of the understanding with Lewis.

A Desperate Challenge This promise to resign as president of the CIO. if Willkie were defeated is taken as a desperate gesture of challenge to the many lieutenants In his own ranks who hate drilaird for Roosevelt. lemociaU argued that Lewis has passed the peak of Ills power over labor. Republicans are delighted at having recruited a man hom they believe can swing votes where they are badly needed Irom men with dinner-pails. The labor leader drnounced the President as "a Caesar," said his "motivation and purpose was war." accused him of seeking a concentration of power in his own hands, and said his re-election would be'a 'national evil of the first magnitude The country, he added, 'needs no superman." and "wants no icl family." He said that Willkie, on the other hand, had said he would end unemployment, enforce the right of labor to organize, and promote collective bargaining.

If Willkie la elected, he said, "this task can and will be done." He had conscience, he said, in Willkle's Integrity and honor." Whatever else Lewis did on Friday nlsht he pitched the tone cf the campaign a note or two higher toward an historical crescendo. Le is may be gambling more than his job He may be gambling to be the king maker of America. How Short of War? "How short of war?" is the trearner under which a Washington newspaper has run a series of articles which concluded with: "We are in a state of potential ar with the Axis powers; we are cftclally defending Canada and even other British possessions at war with Germany. We are supplying U.S. navy and army equipment to belligerent Britain, usually considered participation in war." There was little to disguise these articles for anything but what they were outright political attacks on the policy of President Roosevelt.

A comparison of the utterances of Willkie and Roosevelt on the touchy subject of foreign relations ahovks little difference, even in phraseology. By Inference Willkie would leave the impression that he believes Roosevelt is leading this country Into war. In the isolationist mid-west he Mid: "We do not want to send our boys over there again and we do not intend to. If you elect me president, we will not. I believe if you elect the third-term candidate they will be sent." Paradoxical Utterance Yfct if Willkie utterances are to be taken at face value he promises at much or more "aid short of war" to Britain than does Roosevelt.

Yet have the paradox of Willkle's supporters constantly l'ii -id "is rwhv at the argument that Roosevelt, by his aid to jnu.i.g uie country into war. and Willkie promising bigger and better aid. The answer to these apparent lnronsisteiu Irs is politics. A violent autl-Roosevrlt man commented: "If you look carefully at the words of both men you will find loopholes and reservations. Thia country's aid to Britain will increase, icuardlrss of what muy be said in the cumpaiKti.

It will Increase because of the dominant j.entimrnt of most Americans." Historical Comparison The other day I heard an interesting comparison of the attitude of Germans and those of German in the United States in the early days of the last war and now. It was agreed that German-Americans arc much less belligerent and articulate now than they were in 1915. Many of them, of course. Sack any sympathy with Hitler and feelings hey may have for the old land are modified to that extent. Then, too, another generation has grown up.
