of rates to markets over wide areas, the development of new ter. ritories, the encouragement of basic industries "by freight rates lower than commercially justiflable; even in cases where there is no profit in doing so." The railway, the economist claimed, had to "take the rough with the smooth." It had to spend millions of dollars in keeping traffic running during Winter months, while truck owners did not bear the cont of snow removal, nor were they handicapped by other heavy Winter operating expenses. Winter Costs Great. Last Winter, the speaker ued. the Canadian National Railways spent $70.000 in maintaining service "on a certain branch line in the Maritimes." More than $35,000 was expended in clearing snow and ice from the line yet the revenue during the Winter months did not exceed the cost of snow removal.

This same line, Mr. Fairweather said, was subject to highway competition for more than two-thirds of the year. "What would the trucker's rates be if he had placed on him the obligation to. maintain service in the Winter time, to say nothing of the other forms of community obligation?" he asked. The speaker charged the provincial governments were "in the transport business in a big way" and suggested that they might see that they were receiving in return from this industry what the expense had been to the state.

Detectives, however, announced the man apparently had. stumbled into the channel, less than 100 feet from the Grenville Hotel, but few ago they said they suspected he was a victim of a quarrel. over a woman.

The canal locks were drained finally yesterday after Rev. H. D. Brosseau, parish priest of Our Lady of Sorrows Church, Grenville, was in communication with officials of the Department of Railways and Canals at Ottawa, and explained to authorities the public concern over the case. Dr.

Mason, from Lachute. When the body was taken from the water, it was said there were bruises visible on the man's face. Whether these were caused by blow from an instrument fall were discussed by residents. who were taking a keen interest in the case. The Montreal detectives arrived back in Grenville at noon and worked in mysterious manner.

They refused to make any statements and rumors were heard an arrest either had been made or was to be effected within a few hours. The inquest will be opened immediatey after Dr. Roussel concludes the autopsy, which, it is expected. definitely will place the cause of death. SOLD ON SUNDAY.

A pleasant interlude during the morning session was the opportunity taken by the General Council to indicate its esteem for one of its distinguished lay members.

Hon. Newton Wesley Rowell, K.C., in congratulating him recent elevation to the high office of Chief Justice of Ontario. Rowell, ever since the establishment of the United Church, has been one of its chief advisers in matters of law and legislation. Russell W. Treleaven, of Hamilton, moved the resolution in which the Council extended "heartiest congratulations" to the new Chief Justice.

The resolution expressed "full appreciation of his conspicuous qualifications for this high office and gratification that these have been recognized in this important appointment." Rev. Charles Hackett, of tion Dalhousie, seconded the moand the Council signified its unanimous approval by, spontaneously rising and approving it by standing vote. Speaking from the floor of the Council the new Chief Justice briefly responded: "I very greatly appreciate this expression of your confidence." Chairmen of Committees. lotteries increasing."

"The liquor traffic is still strong. and much work needs to be done before it will be eliminated from Canadian life. Gambling is on the increase. Lotteries are encouraging idleness and even suicides, according one authority," the Council was told by Rev. John J.

Coulter, of Sarnia, presenting the report on Evangelism and Social Service for the secretary, Rev. Dr. D. N. McLachlan, Toronto, who is ill and unable to attend the Coun-4 cil sessions on his doctor's orders.

Dr. Coulter voiced the sympathy of the Council with Dr. McLachlan. Dealing with the matter of sweepstakes, Dr. Coulter said that while the bill to legalize these was defeated in 1933 and again in 1934 I in Parliament, the opposition was less, and "the tendency to favor Dealing generally with.

gambling the clause in committee's report stated: "Unfortunately it cannot be claimed spirit gambling throughout the Dominion is lessening. Repeated efforts have been made to legalize lotteries in Canada. These attempts have failed. But the desire and determination to promote gambling, in one form or another, and especially in the matter of lotteries, go steadily on. "United action by all CommunIons will be required to resist the attempts to establish sweepstakes in Canada," the report urged.

On the temperance question the report declared: "It is jof remarkable significance that, just the movement towards return of the open sale of intoxicating beverages began in the west, and worked down to the Maritimes, it is becoming more and more apparent that the west will lead the way against the present situation. Situation Not Final. a church, inform we are under members obligation to our that the present situation is not final and cannot much longer be maintained. Science and religion are both opposed to it. In a period of extreme depression, when the ordinary requirements in the form of food, clothing and shelter are hard to obtain, it is almost inconceivable that 156 million dollars should be expended on intoxicating beverages in one year.

"Defenses which home training and church teaching have built up around young lives are broken down. Another disquieting factor is the great increase of drinking among women and girls. "Beverage rooms are openly frequented by Jarge numbers of women, many of whom are still young and immature. In social circles, also, drinking by women is no longer an innovation." the report stated. be dealt with Among the recommeridations to the Council will be that the General Council: appeal to "all our people to practice total abstinence."

R. B. Cochrane, secretary of that body. He stressed the importance to the life of the church of home missions. How could, foreign missions be successful work at home was not being, prosecuted in such a manner was virile and convincing? he asked.

The little log church on Canada's frontier was a potent force in the life of the people, but, as in the case of foreign missions, money was needed. "We've never had any culty in getting young men to go to difficult churches on the. frontier," said Dr. Cochrane. The lifficulty was not in men but in lack of money, He spoke of new frontier mining and agricultural churches and unable to get them because money was unavailable.

"If ever home mission superintendents justified themselves it has been in the last seven years of depression," Dr. Cochrane said. He referred to drought conditions in the West and declared: "I hang my head in shame when think of some of the salaries which are paid United Church ministers on the prairies." But money was not available and grants had to be cut. At this point Chief Justice N. W.

Rowell suggested a committee might be appointed to look into the question of whether all. offices becoming vacant at headquarters should be filled. He stated there soon would be four vacancies in important offices of the church. It might not be, necessary to All them all. He moved for appointment of a committee to consider and 'report on all appointments to be made at this meeting of the Council.

One of the posts which will become vacant and must be filled is that of secretary, now held by Very Rev. Dr. T. Albert Moore. Mr.

Rowell's resolution carried and it was decided the moderator would. name a committee of 20. S. W. Dean.

secretary of the board of pensions, presented his report. An actuarial report which had been obtained indicated, the need for an income of $464,000 year for 50 years, and $18,000 for 10 more years to discharge obligations of the pension fund. "It is an intolerable thing to think of cutting our benefits," said Mr. Dean, telling the Council of the need for -more funds for pension purposes. He could not think of anything which would more seriously impair the morale of the church than to cut already meagre pensions paid to retired ministers.

He suggested appointment of commission to explore possibilities for raising funds. Report of the Board of Publications presented by Elmer Davis of Kingston. Rev. Frank Langford, Toronto, general secretary of the Board of Christian Education, in presenting its report, recalled the famous ing of an American statesman century ago that the establishment of the common school would rid the country of crime. "A hundred years later, the President of the Republic announced with humiliation and sorrow that the United States was the most lawless nation in the world." "Something more than the common school is needed," urged Mr.

Langford. "We hear. it said that Christianity has failed. But where the gospel has been tried it has gloriously succeeded." he declared. Encourage Young Men.

Mr. Langford said the number of. students in theological colleges had been holding steady at around 200. "We are not yet ordaining ministers as rapidly as they are dropping out, by death and from other causes." The surplus, of ministers at Church Union had been wiped out, But that did not mean that the board looked for a large influx of new candidates for the ministry. He believed, however, there were many young men who should be encouraged to think of the ministry.

Mr. Langford outlined the activities in children's and people's work and concluded: "We are happy about the way young people are responding the call Parisian says: The Lady on the PARISIAN Bottle JAVEL WILL HURT THE NOT PARISIAN tains no lye, nO caustic.

PHONE RIDEAU 1073. 10-36R "Mercy" Operation Fails to Save Life of Baby in Chicago Hospital CHICAGO, Sept. -Baby Julian Tafel found mercy today in death. It was a painless end, the kind of "mercy death" his father had hoped for, Starvation against his had mother's been decreed wishes. by "bottomless" colon, and from the start father favored letting "nature take its course." The mother's pleas won out, and an operation on Tuesday stayed off death.

But the six-day-old child was doomed. He had no chance from the beginning, it was disclosed by an autopsy, performed two hours after physicians gave up the battle at the baby's oxygen tent. Had he not died of uremic poisoning after the operation, necessary secondary operation would have killed him, they declared. Not only was the large intestine of the church. The women have done great things.

But the men have not taken their religion with the deep seriousness we believe they ought." Rev. Dr. A. E. Armstrong, of Toronto, presented the report on foreign missions.

It was story of ever-opening doors which could not be entered, he said, for lack of means. But the money spent cn foreign missions had not been spent, "but invested." He pointed to drastic changes in social habits and customs in countries like China, The fact that foot-binding among women had been abolished was surely significant. Dr. Armstrong told of his visits to foreign fields. and of his regret that missionaries were being recalled, and those left were breaking down physically on account of increased work imposed upon them.

As regards Japan: "A Kagawa justifies all the money spent on missions in that country." But there were many Kagawas in Japan. It was Kagawa who had challenged the Western people to "take their religion seriously." Reserves Being Depleted. In India the outcasts were seeking a religion that would give them political freedom and equality. Whole villages 100 were turning Christian. Dr.

Armstrong urged the church to "stand by its investment" in foreign missions. He said that this year his board got 60 percent. less from the missionary and maintenance fund of the United Church than it did in 1928. Reserves were being almost entirely depleted. Consider Appointments.

On the motion of Hon. Newton Wesley Rowell, K.C., resolution was adopted to create a committee of: 20, composed equally of ministerial and lay commissioners, to consider and report on appointments to be made at the present meeting of the General Council, and it was further agreed that Andings of any committee instructed to make nominations to General Council be submitted to the new committee. Dr. W. Hollingsworth, Edmonton; seconded the resolution.

The committee will be appointed by the Moderator, assisted by committee now in existence in connection with. the appointment of the secretary. Appointments to be considered include those for the posts of secretary of the council, editor of the "New book steward, associate secretary of the Home Mission Board, secretary of the Foreign Mission Board, field secretary of evangelism and social service, and secretary of missionary education. Mr. Rowell said he agreed with Dr.

Roberts that the spirit of unity was greater than they had anticipated, but he did think that in making those appointments they should wholly neglect the strains that had combined to form the church. Critical Situation. The church was facing a critical situation, he pointed out. They had changed the leaders in a ber of important departments. It was of the greatest moment if the church was to move forward that they obtain the men best fitted by talents, character and experience for those posts.

If they took up the' appointments one by one and dealt with them one by one, they might not attain the result they would like to have. It would be wiser to name a strong representative committee to sider how far it was necessary to All all the offices. It it were sary to fill them all, he thought the committee should have to show grounds as to why they thought so. Dr. Hollingsworth pointed out such offices are not temporary, but last for a long number of years.

He suggested the appointments be given to men of youth and initiative, fitted to carry on the work of the church. Rev. Dr. S. W.

Dean, secretary of the Pension Fund Board, suggested that the Moderator and Dr. Thomas Bradshaw, president of the North American Life Insurance Company and chairman of the Pension Fund Board, be empowered to name commission to explore possibilities of raising funds to supplement the present income, and to take any steps General Council might consider it wise to take. He pointed out there is a debit balance of $9,227,265 to be met by contributions from the missionary and maintenance fund, or from other outside sources. Possibility of reduction of benefits was "an intolerable thing to think about." he said. Over period of 50 years they ought to have an annual income for the Pension Fund of $464.000, and for further period of ten years an annual income of $18,000 with which to discharge their obligations.

Serious Situation. 'The situation is a serious one. The only two courses are, either to get more money, or to lessen the benefits being paid. We can go on as at present for number of years, but by doing so we shall lessen the assets available for men in 15 or 20 years' time." Dr. Dean said.

Over the last 11 years one-third their ministers had passed out of the active ranks, he remarked. The average pension paid to a minister was $573. There were 740 ministers drawing from the fund. To ask them to accept.any less than, they were getting was to force upon them degree of poverty the United Church ought to be ashamed of. The report of the Fund Board was distributed to commissioners when the Council resumed for the afternoon session.
