Officers of the Cust- oms Dept. Object to Be- ing Placed on the Shelf S0 Early.

(Special to The Guardian)

LONDON, July lid-Officers of the Customs and Excise Depart- ment, who have hitherto retired when 61 years old, are now by an agreement with the Whitley Coun- cil, to be compelled to retire at 60, lf they have then completed 40 years service. .

The agreement has spread dis- content among many of the men who oblect to being placed on the shelf so early. They contend that their knowledge and experience lnake them peculiarly valuable at the age oi 60, and they urge that an extension to 62, or even later, would be more reasonable.

The change, writes a civil service correspondent, is a definitely retro- grade step. The old regulation itself was obsolete for it had been drawn up nearly a quarter of a century ago. Since then the average dur- ation of mens' lives has increased by several years and the duration oi their period of activity has increas- ed by even more. In these circum- stances, when everything points to a

longer period, of usefulness of em- »

ployees, it seems folly for a depart- ment deliberately to shorten that Period.

The staff association which made the proposal wished to clear the old- er men out of the way in order to secure stations for younger mem- bers. .

highly profitable for the government to increase its foreign indebtedness and apply the proceeds to withdraw- ing part of its international debt.

One hundred million dollars at the present exchange, the Fascist bank confederation goes on to say, should give a net yield of $1,600,000. One billion should be used in buy- ing up in the open market treasury bonds and that 5 per cent consid- cred a loan. The remainder should increase the treasury‘s cash rc- scrvcs or be used in paying off part of the treasury‘s debt to the bank of Italy.

Returned From Pleasant Auto Trip

Mr. and Mrs. P. J. MacDonald and daughter Miss Minnie, and son Allison returned this week from an‘ auto tour of Nova Scotia. They were accompanied by Mr. J. S. Jenkins, iMerehant of New Glasgow, N. S.,

Mrs. I. G. Moellcr, who has been lvisiting in this province. They crossed by the Carfcrry and motored to Amherst, Truro and New Glas- gow. At New Glasgow, through the kindness of Mr. Moclie who is superintendent of the Steel and Car works which employs about 1050 men, they were shown through the ‘works where they sow under eon- struetlon a refrigerator car contract for 200 cars at a cost of a million dollars. They were also shown through the Allan Shaft coal minc through the kindness of Col. Mc- Kcnzie. They went down the shaft ‘to a depth of 1500 feet and walked a mile and a half to the end of th pit where they each dug a. lump o coal which they carried home as a souvenir. ‘The clial company here Iemploys 600 men. Their next visit was to the Pottery with a floor space of two acres and where they manu- facture all‘ kinds ofpctiery, drainage

tiles and culverts. I

Iieaving the industrial section the party next paid attention to the scen- ic beauty of the province. They vis- ltcd Green Hill, 500 feet above sea. level from which they could see ‘a radius of fifty miles including Prince‘ Edward Island, also the towns of Pietou. New Glasgow, An- tigonish and 'I‘ruro, a magnificent view and one long to baremcmber- ed. They next visited Antigonish, driving through a. moat picturesque scene with Marchy Hope Mountain on the right and Brown's‘ Moun- taln on the left. Between the two hlountains there is a space of only

An important meeting convened by Mr. Adam Andrew. Les Angeles, Calif, was held in the office oi the Superintendent of Education for the purpose of organizing the body which is to have charge of the ad- ministration, ctc.. of. the proposed "Early School Llbirles". The meeting was called to order by Mr. H. H. Shaw, there being present Mr Andrew. Hon. F‘. J. Nash, Hon. c. Gavin Duffy. Mr. R. H. Rogers and Mr. J. R. Burnett. Mr. Andrew ex- plained that his objective was to have a suitable juvenile library es- tablished in every school, and he himself was prepared to provide the funds to make a beginning. It would be necessary. however. to raise funds for books for all the 400 or 500 schools, and he thought this could be done by appealing to old school boys from each settlement at home and abroad to contribute money to provide the books. thought the Women's Institutes could be successfully applied to or- ganiae for these contributions, and to supervise the local libraries which would be» in ” of the teachers as librarians. ' In order to put the scheme into operation he had ask- ed Messrs. Nash, Duffy and Burnett to form a commission with Mr. 1?. H- Resets as secretary-treasurer and the Superintendent of Educat- ion-es advisers. This commission would have full power and discre- tion in giving effect to his wishes in order to make the library scheme a success. On motion it was decided to call the new body "The Adam Andrew Library. Commission," and Mr. Nash was elected chairman with _lllr. rs as secretary-treas- urer. Aite discussion it was de- cided to well: upon the new govern- ment to ascertain what support could be obtained
