PAGE.TEN meus sus somes MN hau THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1927 -- -- BENNETT GIVEN * GREAT WELCOME (Continued from page 9) a tremendous ovation as he rose to speak. Democracy has been challenged by .undreds of thousands of people in ilurope and Asia during the last five years and this situation in turn, 0 said, was a challenge to all the rien and women of voting age in .4.8 Dominion. The only way is to have an educated democracy. His p:ea was for more leaders. "So far as 1 am concerned all I can say is that there rests on us a great and an ever-increasing responsibility the 10rmation of an informed and edu- cated democracy. Parties are not ends but means to the high pur- pose." Party Convention Mr. Bennet quoted an authority in stating that the party convention in Winnipeg was the greatest since Cenfederation, Leaving aside all pa:iy considerations; if the dele. zaies gathered there at their own expense formed a cross-section of the people of the Dominion, "then, indeed, it was a very remarkable inanifestation on the part of the Ca- nadian people of their loyalty to their country." He said that at the. convention there was not a word of criticism, passed upon their political opponents and their names were sel- dom mentioned. Taking his listeners into his con. fidence, Mr. Bennett told of the struggle that went on in his mind | before he decided to become a 'can didate for the leadership. On one side was the urge to enjoy in peace the accumulation of the years. "The argument that prevailed. was the simplé one. I recalled the eager faces of the men who offered thei: lives for Canada, and I merely said to myself if I can render some ser. vice I am duty bound to do it. So here I am back again to say, as I said at the convention, that I dedi- cate my talents and my time to the 'service of Canada so long as I am able and my countrymen desire." " "If Canada is worth dying for, surely it is worth living for," he concluded. STRATFORD BAPTISTS TO JOIN REGULARS Stratford, Oct. 23.--At a meeting of members of the Memorial Baptist Church, following the evening serv- ice tonight, a resolution was passed urging the church to join the new Convention of Baptist churches which was formed in Teronto under the leadership of Dr. Shields. The resolution was passed unanimously by a meeting representing about 75 per cent. of the adult membership of the church, Rev. R. tonight's service spoke at consider- able length on the two Baptist Con- ventions in Toronto. ST. CRISPIN'S ANGLICAN " MARKS ANNIVERSARY Birch Cliff, Oct. 23.--Today St. Crispin's Anglican Church, Scarboro, which enjoys the distinction of being the only place of worship in | trict, stated That K. Gonder | is the pastor of the church. and at: The Corn Borer Interviewed by the Oshawa Daily Times last week, Mr. Oscar Downey, Corn Borer Inspector for this dis- not only farms. but city and town 'gardens were badly infesied with the borer. In somo gardens in Oshawa he had found as high as 50 per cent and in | Whitby one garden showed an in- festation of 62 per cent: Though no arrangements have been made up to Cite regarding the administration and enforcement of the Corn Borer Act, within the limits of the city of Oshawa, Mr. Downey was of the opinion that this might be put ip charge of the Chief of Police. Questioned as to the result of preventive measures which had beer taken consequent upon the passage of the Acth e produced a memoran- dum from Mr. Lawson Caesar, Prc. vincial Entcmologist, stating that though they had not been able to achieve a general reduction of the pest in every instance, results so far obtained were satisfactory and indicated that by persistent enforce- ment of the measures recommended in the Act, the danger of the Borer Canada named after the patron saint of shoemakers, celebrated its fifth anniversry, when Rev. Alfred Clark, Rural Dean of East York, and Rev. R. Mercer-Wilson of Wycliffe Col- lege, conducted the special services. The celebration will be extended un- til Tuesday, which is St. Crispin's Day, with snecinl sacred song serv- ices in which the Pickering Quartet will feature, OFFATS Gold Medal Electric Ranges Wi , Over 80000in ELECTRIC Simcoe Street North [J he oh daily use througho for sale by the SHO P Oshawa, Ontario would be considerably abated, though it might not be entirély .eli- minated, There has been a reduction of thé infestation as follows: Essex coun: ty, 50 per cent; Kent, 50 per cent; Elgin, 20 per cent; Oxford, 25 pe: cent; Norfolk, 33 per cent. There has been an increase in Lambton, parts of Middlesex, anc parts of Prince Edward. In view of the bad weather last fall, wher numbers of farmers were unable tc complete their fall plowing, anc were consequently obliged to rus! their spring werk, Mr. Caesar con siders these results fairly satisfac- tory. However, as Mr. Downey re marked, when we take into consia eratio nthe fac that each Borer moth may lay as many as twelv. hundred eggs, and there are per haps over a billion larvae in On- tario at the present time, we havc a leng, hard fight ahead of us, and must not let ourselves become over: optimistic on account of a few ap parent successes. . READERS' VIEWS A VERITABL iraiRYLAND Editor The Oshawa Daily Times Dear Sir-- The lovely weather of yesterday tempting me to a solitary ramble {I hied me away to my newly founy | vantage point a short distance west of the city, ynamed it, with apologies to the own- (Hilltop view I havc ersi, with the passage of a few weeks it has lost none of its beau- ty. To anyone with 'eyes to see' it is a veritable fairyland of kaleid- scopic beauty 'with the trees in ali their autumn brilliance, with here and there a field of vivid green which gives promise of another har- vest time. The orchards rouua about, with their reddening appies, and even the brown earth f[reshly upturned by the plow has a charm of it's own, and one can look over the city and pick out many places of interest, new General Motors building can be seen, the new schools at Park Road and Centre street, dre easily discernable. Most of the large manufacturing plants may be seen in part, with a field glass the sign on Pedlar people's building can be easily read. What impresses me the most is the extent of the couu- try that may be seen. Far as thc cye can see on every hand there is something of interest. I counted 10 apple orchards. what a lovely sight that would be in apple blosscm time. I certainly enjoyed -a pleasant outing all by my lonesome.

Calls of Grounded Vessels Answered "Plane Dispatched After Radio Call is Picked: Up Gloucester, Mass, Oct. 25.--The rracticé of '"'threwing out the life line" is-dying out. In its stead come radio and the airolane. For now, when a ship flashes iis distress signal from a r-ef off shore a. radio-equipped amphibian air- plane picks it up and almost im- mediately carries cut the life line to the marooned passengers ana crew.* That insures speed in rescuc work that the old-fsahioned gun could not attain. This method of rescuing persona on stranded ships is now in practice here and at Cape. May, N.J., auu has already proved its superiority over the old system, The U.S. coast guard has install- ed radio receiving and transmitting sets on several of its airplanes, and these are used not only in combat- ing smuggling operations, but in rescuing persons on endangereu shins, In this new method of rescue, the » which he buys in Oshawa as mest of his money comes from the sale of goods in Oshawa. No hotels or restrooms could I find, stores were {not opened till afier eight o'clock {sc IT had to walk the streets. I | did some shopping, when the stores | finally opened, then, as the banks "did not open till ten o'clock, I went to the rectory and asked to be al- lowed to sit on the verandah. The rector took me into his reception room where 1 sorted out some NOTE: ] BETTER HEALTH". TORONTO, CAN. a. i If fyi take YEAST for your HEALTH, use Royal Yeast Cakes.

One end cf the line is carried through clips on two masts, planted on the shore about 200 feet apur-. The airplane, flying low, picks up the line from these upright poles and carries it seaward to the dis- abled vessel. A special pick-up is usec on the airplane for making coniact with | papers showing our local number. | Time passed and his social worker {came in, then I had need to go to | the toilet, but comforted myself {with the thought, "there is one in the Public Library."

The ship- "wrecked crew gets the life-line from the airplane. 'then cne by one, the persons aboard the storm-swept ship tare pulled ashore in safety by means of the breeches buoy and other cou- ventional life-saving equipment. Thus radio, in a new guise, again demcnstrates its value in saving life and property. The new method jof bringing out the life line to a distressed ship is largely depenaent upon this rapid means of commu cation for its effectiveness. Distress signals from disabled vessels are either intercepted direct- ly by radio on the amphibian air- planes or the SOS is picked up by ia shore radio station and relayed on the air- certain rescue to the radio operator plane. Speedy and ensues, TRAFFIC TOWERS TO SOLVE LONDON'S STREET PROBLEM London, Oct. 24--London may at least follow the example of New York and. Berlin by piacing traic patrolmen at the busiest street In- tersections with traffic towers. A sub-committe of London's Traffic Advisory Committee will meet Gen- eral K. M. Gordon this week to ex- amine his new patent control tow- er. The system has only one nov. elty. At the foot of the post which supports the traffic tower is a slit through which powerful rays of light are- thrown across the pave- ment, in place of the white lines which now mark passages for pedes. trians.
