Excavation P L it Taken Out For Prop THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 25, 1928 Over 700 Hear Collegiate Glee Club and Orchestra Present Collegiate Scorc: Another Success in a Fine Musical Program - Lawrence J, Lugsdin, Elocutionist, As sists -- Orchestra Delights the Audience With Fine Group of Numbers Another great success wad achieved by Oshawa Callegiate In- stitute last night when with over seven hundred people attending in the school auditorium, the Glee Club and Orchestra of the 0.C.I, Music Club presented their second annual musical concert with Laur- ence J, Lugsdin, elocutionist, as assisting artist, Every item on the program was well chosen and ef a most delightful nature, The Glee Club, composed of 63 voices, was the first to be heard on the program when they opened the concert with *O Canada," and fol- lowed with "Santa Lucia" and "The Ash Grove." Immediately the result of much painstaking care on the part of the conductor, Mr, L. F. Unitt, became apparent, The necessary hours of faithful practice was also shown by the Club in the high degree of perfec- tion with whieh they rendered thelr various selections, the harmony and rythme were both well-nigh per- fect and the volume was well regu- lated to suit the splendid surround- ings, : Assistant Artist The assisting artist for the oc- casion, Mr, Laurence J. Lugsdin, of Toronto, supplied the necessary variation from the musical side of the program and even in his first group of numbers impressed the audience with his clear and perfect readings. Both the readings -in-his first group were by William Henry Drummond and were fairly well known to make them perhaps more appreciated by those present. They were 'De Cure of Calumel" and "Johnny Corteau." Mr. Lugsdin's second group coni- sisted of Pauline Johnson's famous poem 'As Red Men Die,"' and an encore number "A Night in a Sleeping Car." In his reading of "As Red Men Die," Mr. Lugsdin seemed to hold his listeners spell- bound so thoroughly did he carry them away in the theme of the story. "A Night in a Sleeping Car," was a round of laughter ana one of the best encore numbers of its kind the writer has heard for some time, Mr, Lugsdin's last group, headed hy 'My Cane Bot- tomed Chair," by Thackeray and followed by two encore mumbers one humorous and the other *Lit- tle Batiste," hy Drummond, all lived up to the very high standard of those which he had given pre- viously, Orchestra Delights Audience The Orchestra made its first ap- pearance with the playing of "Fragrance," an Intermezzo hy An- cliffe. Here again, as was the case with the Glee Club, the audl- ence was thrilled with the nign quality of the music. Their sec- ond number, Valse Intermezzo," by Lincke, was probably their hest, judging at least 'by the. appaluse with whieh it was received. A great future indeed should he in store for orchestras of this type in Oshawa Collegiate in years to come. | This is the first year in which other than a dance orchestra has been attempted in the school and with this suceess as a starting point something of a very promis- ing nature can safely be looked forward to. Three solo numbers were given py the students of the school and each effort was equally well rer ceived and given its duereward in applause, The first wad a vocal solo by Miss Irene Winter, "Arc You Smiling?" by Hector McCar- thy. This was followed hy a violin solo by Norman Moffatt for which he was encored in no uncertain manner. Following Mr. Lugsdin's reading of "As Red Men Die" Miss Marion Gummow gave a piano solo, "Sonata Pathetique," by Bee- thoven, . which was also encored. All three numbers were among the very best om the evening's pro- gram. A quartette from the Glee Club consisting of Miss Glover, Miss Winter, Gordon Maxwell and Tom Hele, gave another slight form of variation to the program with their presentation of "To a Wild Annual Concert Who was last night chosen presi- dent of the Oshawa Tennis Club for the season of 1928, Rose," by McDowell and "Keep on Hopin'" by Maxwell, Official School Club One of the features of the pro- granr was the first public presen- tation of what is to become the official school song of Oshawa Col- legiate--**We Are the O.C.L,"" which was composed in both music and words by Frank and Gordon Maxwell, who are fifth year stud- ents in the school, It is a truly great song and will be a credit to hoth the school and the brothers who wrote it when it makes its official debut, Besides, to Mr. Unitt, who rend- ered such valuable service in con- dueting both the Glee Club and Orchestra, too much credit can- not go to Mr. MeGiry and Mr. Ew- ing, members of the teaching staff of the school, who rendered untir- ing service in organizing and as- sisting the movement in every way possible. Mr. McGirr gave his par- ticular attention to the Glee Club while Mr. Ewing was associated with the orchestra, Many thanks were extended on the occasion of Mr, Russell Per- kins for his beautiful stage decora- tions which »were loaned for the evening and also to The Adams' Furniture Company for the favor of two floor lamps.

WHITBY Representative James Holden Phone House 15 Office 434 GOV'T ENGINEER VISITS WHITBY ABOUT HARBOR Town Council Holds Special Session ---- Consider Re- pairing Slips GRADUALLY RECEDING Council Decides Government Should Bear Whole of Expense (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, April Tans special meet- ing of the: town council was called this morning fof the purpose of con- ferring with Mr, McTavish, Dom- inion Government Engineer attached to the department of publis works, sent here regarding the necessity of repairing the end of the slip at the north east end of the harbor which is gradually receding before the wa- ter, The government proposer a retain- ing wall across the slip, with the suggestion that the town bear two thirds of the cost. The matter was brought to the attention of the gov- ernment by the council because if the end of the slip keeps receding the water might in time undermine the southern extremity of Brock street, This suggestion, however, was not approved by the council as the Harbor belongs to the govern- ment and the council does not see why it should be called upon to con- tribute to its upkeep. The following resolution, moved by Reeve Jackson and seconded hy Coun, Ormiston, was therefore passed, "That this council assembled in special session on the 25th day of April to consider proposed repairs to the harbor works at thé northeaster- ly end of the slip at Whithy harbor, and having discussed the proposal cf the department of public works of Canade that the town of Whithy should bear a portion of the necces- sary expense of the repairs, This council hereby expresses its opinion that the whole cost of protecting the poption of the harbor werks should he borne by the department of pub- lic works and that if it should he found necessary to extend the pro- posed revetment oyer any portion of Brock street in the town 'of Whithy the town will be willing to close the said portion of Brock street and turn the title of the land over to the Do- minion Governnient, Albeit the clerk is hereby instruct- ed to hand a copy of this resolution to the engineer of the Public Works Department at Toronto." His Worship Mayor Bateman pre- sided over the meeting. EE DANGER OF CHEAP TALK AND SLANG Basis of an Interesting Ad- dress By Rey, A, M, Irwin (By Staff Reporter) Whithy, April 25--The dangers of slang and , cheap talk formed the subject of an interesting address pre- gented by Rev. A. M. Irwin as the topic at the regular meeting of the Irnited Church Young People's Lea- gue held in the church school, last night. Slang, the speaker emphasiz- ed, was inelegant, incorrect and often vulgar. As a word vehicle of thought it often involved carelessness and inacenracy in the conveying of ideas rand impressions from one mind to another. Certain words which were correct many years ago had degen- erated into slang whereas other words which were looked upon with askance had become fit for refined speech. As an instamce of this the word, "kiddy," was referred to. Rev. Irwin pointed out that there was : time when if one called a child a kiddy the wrath of its parents might be easily incurred. Such was not the case today for the word had taken on refinement. PS By continuous use of slang, the speaker warned, there remained the danger of losing personal refinement. Then also certain slang words had » meanings and werc oiten dole and Suggestive. He did not deny that wholesome expletives had their place as, figuratively, they allowed a person to blow off rather than to blow up. Other expletives however might be considered harm- ful as they bordered so closely to profanity and blasphemy. Cheap talk, Rey. Irwin explained, was that light foolish conversation in which peopie passed $0 much of their time . Its danger lay in the fact that it failed to develop the mind. - He did not classify it with cheap talk but rather considered it a desirable thing providing it was not overdone. Gossip he thought could be included in cheap talk and he who gossiped was in danger of alienating friendships and causing distress to himself and others. One should at least try to develop men- tally by giving expression to good sound thought in a way that was accurate and meaning. . Others who assisted in the pro- gram included Miss Marjorie Ross who rendered a beautiful soprano solo accompanied on the piano by Mrs. Geo. Ross and Miss Flossie A. S. Mcleose Purchases Stares and Shops and Will Erect Threestorey Addi- tion for Six Apartments A, S. McLeese, 39 Simcoe street north, announced to The Oshawa Daily Times this morning that he has purchased from R. N. Bassett the property at 31-39% Simcoe street north, including Robert- shaw's stationery store, Smiles'n Chuckles candy shop, and the va- cant store formerly occupied by Smith & Haskill, florists, This property has a frontage of 404 feet, and immediately adjoins Mr. McLeese's other holdings. His property on Simcoe street north now extends from the north side of son to, and including, the Robt, Simpson Co. store at the south lim- it of the Armories property. Mr, M¢Leese did not divulge the pur- chase price. Since the buildings of this block extend to the rear only half of the available depth of the property, Mr. McLeese intends to construct a three-storey addition which will be the full width of the block, 40% feet, and which will extend 60 feet to the rear of the present building. This will provide six additional apartments suites, as well as almost doubling the area of the stores on the ground floor. Excavation will commence in a short time, he inti- mates, and construction work will then be pushed, as rapidly as pos- sible. [Plans are now being pre- pared by C. C. Stenhouse, and a ma- jority of the construction sub-con- tracts will be in the hands of Pe- ter Martin & Sons, Bowmanville, This firm is also in charge of a large part of the work in the ad- ditions to the block at 39- 3 Sim- coe street north, occupied on the ground floor by Service Cleaners and Dyers, R. G. Smyth, druggist, and the Robert Simpson Co. Roof- ing is practically completed, and electrical wiring started this morn- ing, by the A. C. Cameron Elee- trical Co. This addition will give 14 additional apartments, of one to five rooms each, and will cost about $35,000. Excavation work was compleiea last fall on a large apartment build- ing which Mr. McLeese espects to complete behind this block, 39--43 Simcoe street north, When com- pleted it will be a four-storey structure, 130 by 36 feet, contain- ing 40 apartments of one to 6 rooms. It will cost in the neigh- borhood of $60,000, Augusta who contributed a humor- ous reading. The president, Miss Price, read a communication from + the Almonds Young People's J.eague expressing their regrets that they would not be able to join in a social evening with the local society, next Tuesday night, on account of the inconven- ience of daylight saving time to be adopted here from that month on to September. It was then decided to postpone the social evening until the last Tuesday in May, The Scripture reading was taken by Miss Helen Hudson while Rev Mr. Irwin con- ducted the opening prayer. The meeting was closed with the regular exercises, WEATHER AGAINST Whitby Inaugurates a Cam- paign to Beautify the Town Whitby, April 25--The prefailing weather for the past few weeks has been quite unfavorable to the paint up and clean up campaign inaugur- ated here this spring. The ground is still too soft with moisture to allow for work either in gardens or on lawns and in fact the tempera- tures have been such that few people feel like spending much time out-of- aAoors. However the great majority of citizens are in accord with the cam- paign and there is evefy indication that when the days become more pleasant 2 great deal of cleaning and painting will be done locally. Several merchants have announced their intentions of painting their store fronts and it is a well known fact that a little paint adds a great deal to the attractiveness of any business section. Later in May two days will be set aside as paint up and clean up days. Certainly if the plant has the co-operation of every- cone Whitby will be made a much brighter and more pleasant place in which to live. PREPARING FOR FIGHT Washington, April 22.--The bit- ter and protracted controversy over the diversion of water from Lake Michigan at Chicago again will be before the Supreme Court tomor- row. The St. Lawrence deep wa- terway advocates, Great Lakes shipping and hydro-electric inter- ests have aligned in challenging the diversion, while the friends of the deep waterway from Chicago to the Gulf support it. A great ar- ray of counsel will participate in the contestants hope for a decision before the present term ends a Juue, Bassett Property o Simcoe St. North Will Build Apartments J the block occupied by ¥.

Annis Elected Presi. dent--Much Enthusiasm is Shown LARGE ATTENDANCE Will Arrange Tournaments With Many District Clubs The Oshawa Tennis Club held one of its most enthusiastic pre-sea- son meetings for many years, last evening, and elected officers for the forthcoming year. G. W. Mec- Laughlin, G. D. Conant and R, S. McLaughlin were elected honorary presidents, A. }. Annis was elected president, «+ Miss Dorothy Myers, vice-president, J. Carroll Ander- son, secretary, and Dr, W, J. Lang- maid, treasurer. Miss Adeline Go- heen was elected convenor of the Ladies' Membership Committe; Men's Captains, Stewart Alger and George Jamieson; Ladies' Cap- tains, Miss Ada London and Miss Elizabeth Furber; Grounds Com- mittee, Stanley Everson and Theo- dore Fishleigh; Refreshment Comi- mittee, Convenor, Miss Margaret Myers and assistant convener, Misa Vivian Goyne; Auditor, Arthur Peacock. The meeting was well attended and a thoroughly representative gathering, The members were en- thused over the prospects for this season, which seems slated to he the best that the club has yet en- joyed. The courts are already in fine shape, and with the addition of the four new courts, which are also in the best of condition there should be no reason for complaint, It is expected that the club will open its playing season on May 15, it the weather is suitable, Tournaments with the tennis clubs at Turonto, Cobourg, Port Hoye, and Whithy will be arrangad among the season's activities, and these inter-clubs games should be ol distinct benefit to the game in Oshawa. If necessary three courts can be added to the increased ic- commodation already available, and early season predictions augur well for a quickly filled membership list. Already numerous applica- tions have been received, and those intending to play this year are ad- vised to act sooh, and can file an application through Dr. WwW, J. Langmaid, Simcoe street north, "TQ THE EMPLOYEES OF THE GENERAL MOTORS" To The Editor of The Oshawa Daily Times: Dear Sir: I am writing you hoping you will find room in your valuable paper for my letter as 1 feel it a duty to write a few lines and warn our worthy workers of the great risk they are running in trying to enforce a' "un- ion" at the Motors Works, knowing as I do the terrible sufferings and hardships that have been brought about in England by "strikes" and "unions," and in cvery case the in- nocent have to suffer for the guilty; if only workers would individually think things over, and make their own personal complaints to those in command instead of trying to ruin hundreds oi homes, by dragging their mates on with them. Surely there is no need for any man to stay at a job if he considers he is under- paid or badly treated in any way, let him quit and obtain other employ- ment. Before I continue don't think I have.anything to do with the Mot- ors, because I have not, only that I have friends working there who are satisfied and know when they receive a good day's pay for an honest day's work. I know many who would like the chance to carn half what many of my friends are carn- ing. : My friends if only you could really know what England is like - today, its industries arc practically at a standstill through labor disputes, and wrong leadership, and unsound ad- vice - given by their so-called friends. "Unions" would be a splendid thing and the means of keeping men to- gether if they were only "used" in- stead of "abused." For happiness and prosperity, workers and employees must pull together and: work with one aim in life "success." Workers, think my friends before you make the foolish mistake of killing the "Goose that lays the Golden Egg." Remember above all, when the bread winner is out of work it is the poor wee mites or babies that suffer most. Surely, it is our duty as men and women at all times to protect the weak, I am only a worker but I dread to think what will happen if you don't think before you leap. Come, my friends, let us pull shoulder to shoulder, and not at cach end of the rope, or it may break in half and let us down. Always Your Well Wisher D. R _ Oshawa, April 25, 1928 EMPIRE SETTLEMENT (Glasgow Herald) So long as Great Britain has a large surplus of unemployed work- ers, while Australia has an urgent need for men to develop its re- sources and defend it against pos- sible aggression migration offers the readiest means of mutual bene- fit. But migration without proper organization may be worse than useless. It is of no avail to pour men indiscriminately into a coum- try which has in certain areas its own unemployment problem. [Propose Contain Excavation Work Will Start] Immediately -- Dimen- sions Will Be 96 Feet, 6 Inches By 131 Feet, 10 Inches -- Owners Are J. W. Butler & Company With a view to building a six- storey hotel on the Borsberry pro- perty at the corner of King street east and Mary street, J. W, Butler and Company, Royal Bank Build- ing, Toronto, have taken out a per- niit for excavation and sidewalk protection for the sum of $6,000. The excavation work, which will be started immediately, will be a very considerable job, extending along King street for 96 ft. 6 inch- es, and along Mary street, 131ft. 10 inches. According to the permit J. W. Butler and Company are the own- ers and also the architects, and the Hotel Engineering Company are the contractors. It is understood the new hotel when completed will be a six-storey structure and will have 110 bed- rooms. The building will be of structural steel on concrete foun- dation. Carpenters are at work this af- ternoon putting up the sidewalk barricade. The Borsberry residence has heen completely demolished and the materials nearly all remoy- ed by the wrecking company, WEED CONTROL, MEETING HELD Professor Bell Addresses Fasmers at Session in Beaverton At a special Sow Thistle and Weed Control Meeting held at Beaverton recently, Professor W. J. Bell of the Kemptville Agricultural School, came out very strongly mn favor of Sweet Clover as a silage and pasture and as one of the best Weed Control crops we have. Professor Bell made the state- ment that he could grow. three- quarters. the tonnage of Swest Clover silage that he could of Corn, and 'as' Sweet Clover silage was so much richer in Protein, cattle required only three-quarts as much as they would of Corn sil- -age to produce the same results. He also stressed the cheapness of the crop and its soil huilding properties, To make good silage he recommended cutting with a binder in the early bloom stage, cutting immediately into the silo, 50 as to avoid wilt or drying out and tramping thoroughly in the silo. As a Weed Control crop, in Pro- fessor Bells' opinion, it was with- out a peer, as the land could be plowed and summer fallowed after the silage crop was taken off dnr- ing the two hottest and driest months of the year--the only time when a summer-fallow is of any use, He was also a strong advocate of Alfalfa. Mr, J. Buchanan of the Field Husbandry Department, 0.A. Col- lege, Guelph, who also addressed the gathering of over fifty farmers confined his remarks largely to Weed Control and Drainage and endorsed Mr. Bells' remarks. The opinion of both these men is bore out by the experience of some of Ontario Countys' good farmers. W. J. Rynard of Zephyr who is a well known grower of Seed Grain, and Certified potatoes says 'One of the leading factors in the Bet- ter Seed and Weed Control Cam- paign should be "Grow Alfalfa" which is, I am sure the very best crop any person can grow to get rid of weeds, because cutting #l- falfa twice each .year destroys weeds before bloom or maturity. The crop can be left 4 or 5 years and I have known Wild Oats and thistles to be entirely killed out and all other weeds destroyed." Ray McLaughlin, Oshawa, says "One of the best methods we have found for cleaning up a field of weeds is to grow Sweet Clover for silage. It is usually in the silo by haying time and any wet weather in haying can be used to plow up the clover sod or it can be plowed right after haying and one has the whee month of August to work it for Fall Wheat." TO HEAR DELEGATES ON AIR PROJECT (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, April 25--In reply to a telegraph message sent by the coun- cil last Monday night to Ottawa re- questing an interview with the De- partment of Defi in tion with the proposal to have an air camp and port established here an answer was received by wire yester- day. The receipt of the request was acknowledged and the council was advised that the matter had been laid before Col. Ralston, the Minister of Defence, with the expectancy that an appoinment for interview with the delegation to go from Whitby might be arranged shortly. The council is mow awaiting further osed New Hotel to Erect a Six Storey Hotel to 100 Rooms YOUTH PREFERS BURWASH AFTER BEING CONVICTED Edward Hobbs, of Bowman. ville, Sentenced to Three Months at Burwash FOR FALSE PRETENCES Says Mimico and Guelph Reformatories No Place to Send a Man "The Ontario Reformatories at Mimico and Guelph are no places to send a man if you want to re- form him, I would rather go to Burwash or Kingston penitentiary any time, to learn better citizens ship." With this statement Edwaril E. Hobbs of Bowmanville, sen- tenced to three months in the One tario Reformatory, Guelph, for false pretenses by Ma: 'strate Hind a moment before, asked the place of confinement to be changed to the Burwash Industrial School, His request was granted, Hobbs has served terms of three months in Guelph Reformatory and nine months in Mimico, for pre- vious convictions of false pretensca and theft in Bowmanville and To- ronto, Following permission to speak to the court, after sentence had been pronounced, he made these statements, an exact copy of which Crown Attorney McGibbon stated would he sent to the authori- ties in Toronto. "We are allowed too much freedom in these institu- tions," Hobbs continued, 'we can smoke, fights are freqent, and there is continual talk among the clder men about the 'jobs' they are going to 'pull off' when they get out, I can't receive any reforming influence in an atmosphcre like that." Crown Attorney McGibbon ex- pressed his gratification for the frankness of the boy in making these statements, stating that they had opened the eyes of the court officials in this city, A prisoner like this youth, of 17, who was par= Laps not as strong willed as many of the men about him in the in= stitution, could certainly have his will considerably weakened rather than strengthened in the atmos- phere outlined. Sh Magistrate Hind acceded to the request to have the sentence mane to Burwash rather than the On- tario Keformatory, adding the ad- monition to Hobbs that nothing could act as a reforming agent ut- less he decided himself to live the Letter way, Hobbs was charged with obtaining $9 from J. Lewing- ton, florist of this city, by falie pretenses. He obtained the sum hy passing a worthless cheque, ac- cording to statements made by the crown, Born EASTMAN--At 28 Oshawa Blvd, Tuesday, April 24, 1928, to Mr, and Mrs. T. Eastman, a daugh- ter.
