 The charter as presented to the legislature in committee hearing, on February 26, 1895, received con- siderable opposition mainly on the premise that the powers contained in the charter were too broad ana the committee of the Oakville Fire District felt that if the charter were modified and the aims of the district were made fewer in mum Der and more specific in definition there would, be a better opportun-- ity of having the charter passed by the State Legislative bodies.
 These changes in the charter have now been made and the re- yised charter was presnted at the Fire District meeting last eye ming for approval. Robert Wheeler was chairman of the meeting. Several items of the charter was read and questions asked. One change in the charter, sec ton 20 - Instead of having three commissioners, to have seven anu to be elected annually. 4.

President Roosevelt Back
in the White House

president ROOSEVELT, deeply
L tanned and in fine spirits, returned
to the White House, his holiday tour
ended. When he landed from the cruis-
er Houston at Charleston, S. c., he told
a big crowd gathered to welcome him
that the country is on its way back to
prosperity under the planned economy
of his administration, land don't let
anybody tell you differently"
At an informal press conference just
before he left the cruiser, the Presi-
dent was asked to comment on the
impending collapse" of his drive to
put three and half million employ
ables on relief to work by November 1.
He replied that November 80 was 80
days off and that November had new
er been set as the deadline, and that
he had been very careful to say that
substantially three and half million
persons would be put to work. If three
million are at work by November 80
he said he would be satisfied with the
four-billion-dollar program, and that it
could not then be considered to have
fallen down.
One of Mr.. Roosevelt's first appoint
ments in Washington was for talk
with Secretary of State Hull on the
European situation.

Next day Prime Minister Stanley Bald

done at Geneva. He deprecated even
the use of the word war, but called for
a rearming of the empire, saying: "In
the interests of world peace it is es-
sential our defensive services should
be stronger than they are today"
Baldwin announced the adjournment
of parliament on October % and the
election of a new parliament on No
vember IA. The campaign already is
under way and is lively, with the inter-
national situation furnishing the main
issues. The Labor party accuses the
government of delaying action in the
Italo- Ethiopian embroglio until too
late to prove really effective, and inn
pugns it's motive in seeking rearma-
ment.

Townsend Plan People
Hold a Convention

EARLY 5000 men and women from
~ all parts of the United States
gathered in Chicago and held a ma
tional convention of the Townsend
plan, which, as most people know,
would give every person sixty years of
age a 5000 per month income If the
person agreed to spend it all within
the month, did not work or have an
income all told of more than $2,400
a year.
The elderly California doctor who
devised the plan was present, and the
delegates seriously undertook the work
of formulating campaign to compel
the adoption of the plan at the coming
session of congress. They reported
that Townsend plan units are growing
rapidly in all the states.

Prospects for Early
Peace Are Faint

p RITISH diplomats were of the opin-

peace in east Africa were mighty small
unless Italy could be stopped by the
effective imposition of penalties. The
Italians seemed to have dropped diplo-
matte negotiations with the other Euro
pean powers and started another big
drive from the northern front toward
Makale and Adds Ababa. The first
days advance carried their central col

plans were offering little resistance.

Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
gave out a statement commencing the
farmers for their decision. THE ref

that corn-hog farmers of the country
will be doing their best to increase
hog production next year in such a
way as will not bring about excessive
overproduction in subsequent years.
They realize their triple duty: To
the consumer, to the cause of soil con-
servation, and to the maintenance of
fair income for themselves"
Before the results of the voting were
known President Roosevelt announced
tentative plans for making the AAA
over from an emergency to per-
manent agency. Observers in Washing

Friends of the prince hold that a
Starhemberg dynasty in Austria would
be greatly preferable to restoration of
the Hapsburgs. They say the pre-
tender to the throne, Archduke Otto,
wants to establish a democratic king
dom, and this would not fit in with
the ideas of the Fascists. Besides, the
return of the Hapsburg dynasty would
be bitterly opposed by the little en-
tente and probably by some of the
great powers. Won Starhemberg is a
descendant of long line of Austrian
heroes and his family is older than
that of the Hapsburgs.
