Oshawa, April 25, 1928 THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 25, 1928 WOMEN'S DAILY INTEREST NATIONAL MUSI BRITISH ISLES To Be Sung By the Glee Singers on Visit to Oshawa The Westminster Glee Singers bring for their Canadian tour some of the finest music of the centur- ies. Not since their visit here twen« ty years ago has a Canadian audi- ence had the opportunity to hear so fine an organization of such beautifully arranged programs. Ad- ult singers frony some of the best- known old Cathedral choirs are in the company, as well as six of the clearest-toned boy sopranos ever gathered together in one group. For their appearance here on Saturday, April 28, 2:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. at St. Andrew's Church, they have chosen secular and sac- red music which will not only please the musician, but which will touch a responsive chord in the soul of anyone in whose make-up there is a love of music. That in- cludes pretty well the whole Brie tish race, for the old melodious folksongs and national airs sung by the Westminster singers run back centuries in British history. The artists who sing them are the product of centuries of train- ing and practice. Cathedral choirs in England have specialized in the training of boy voices since earliest times, and at present and for hun- dreds of years, they have been ont standing in this branch of sing- ing. With the Glee Singers will be heard six boy sopranos who, for beauty of voice, artlessness, and purity of expression, could not be excelled anywhere in the world. They are reminiscent of a heauti- ful phase of English musical cdl- ture, and have always proved ore of the greatest sources of attrac- tion wherever the Glee Singers have sung. It 1s one of the crowning glor- fes of British singing that its boy sopranos have for centuries heen unequalled in the world, and their pre-eminence has existed until the present day. It is not that other countries eannot produce the re- quisite material, hut that the cen- thedral choirs have carried on for all these years has resulted in es- tablishing a noteworthy tradition, which has set a very high standard for so many ordinary churches. The Toronto Telegram, speaking of their recent visit to Toronto, says: "If you were a millionaire, you would have them sing a whole week, and see to it that every choir, glee club, quartet, soprano, con- tralto, tenor and: bass soloist in the city heard them; for their singing i that rare, restful and absolutely Batisfying kind, which you never tire of. First of all they look as though singing was the happiest job in the world--which it is: when you know how. The lads smile frankly at the andience, and of course win all hearts before they open their mouths. And the men look as jol- ly as the lads, and they sing--in- dividually and collectively--like very archangels. The tono of the ensemble and that of the soloists is identical and characteristic. It Is round, flute-likg, elear, without tremor, and has an hundred change- ful beauties In shade and tint, In- terpretation is their eatest art, and it is superb. Such playful light and shade, sueh delicate whisper- ings, such noble power, and such living rhythm are theirs! The Bass soloists--Charles Dra- per, Albert Greene, and James Bar- ber, had each his particular forte. To one magnificent breadth and cavernous depth, to another a ring- ing sopority, and to another a su- ave cellorlike legato, but all were alike in splendid art of word first and tone second. The same beau- tiful sanity marked the singing of James Davis, tenor. It was an ed- ucation in vocalism to hear him sing Elgar's *In the Dawn." Such lyric smoothness and such melting sweetness and sympathy of pure tone are his! And Donald Reid's alto singing simply enthralled the audience. Such a silver voice is his, soaring up to top E flats, bear- ing his words like mragic whisper- ings! You were in St. Paul's again as you listened to his most lovely voice. When shall we hear another such? And Edwin Brazier, boy soloist, sang with the taste of a mature artist and a tome of pur- est and sweetest sympathy, But all the excellencies of these splendid soloists found their best expression, after all, in the beau- tiful concerted numbers of last night's program. It will be a chance in a life- time to hear these world-famed vo- calists amd St. Andrew's Church should be packed to the doors on Saturday afternoon and evening.

The total profit and loss surplus now stand at the formid- able total of $654,851,509. The statement filed today, which affords the public one of the few opportunities of viewing the finan- cial operations of the Ford Company, reveals the effects of the long, shuts down of the company in 1927, due to the redesigning of the car and the retooling of assembly plants, The indicated loss of $42,786,727 in surplus does not take into con- sideration any dividends which the company may have paid during the year to the three owners, Henry Ford, Mrs. Henry Ford and their son, Edsel B. Ford, It is unlikely, however, that any dividends were disbursed, in view of the shutdown and reorganization of plant and pro- ducts. , Says Half of Tools Were Rebuilt According to F. L. Faurote in an article in The American Machinist, expenditures of new equipment and the cost of everhauling machinery for the production of the new Ford amounted to more than $17,500,000 while it is expected that by the time the final costs aire all in the total amount expended will reach $25,000, 000, In the article Mr. Faurote says that 50 per cent, of the machine tools had to be rebuilt. The change- over was made at costs of $4,000,000 for new machine tools, $4,500,000 for altering tools for special Model A work and $5,000,000 for dies and fix- Lures, FINAL SLAM (Texas Ranger) "Bridge, bridge, bridge," cried Auction Maniac to his wife.

The daughter grew up in Lyons. Neither she nor her fa- ther knew the whereabouts of the mother. After several years, Mr. Orndorff obtained a divorce on ground of desertion and mhrried again. He and his wife are now living in Arkansas City, Kan. About fifteen years ago, an Inheritance from the mother's relatives caused a search for her. When she could not be found, she was declared le- gally dead. Recently the daughter, who is now Mrs. Dorothy Pearl Smith, of Peoria, 111, fell heir to $100,000 by the will of Minnie Blair, whose death had just occurred in China. . |DAUGHTER DESERTED 40 YEARS Tarhion( AGO GETS HER MOTHER'S $100,000 The mother made no explanation in her will as to why she had de- serted her home and family. No mention was made of how she had amassed her wealth or what she had done during all those forty years. Mrs. Oradorff, or Minnie Blair, when she fell in China, seemed to realize her death soon would follow. She then wrote several let- terrs, one to establish her identity and another to her brother-in-law, O. D. Lawrence, of Lyons, asking him to find her daughter. The will was placed in the hands of the with the letters establishing her identity. He at once communicated with Kansas relatives of the moth- er. Virtually all the estate was in cash, only $12,000 being invested in Chicago stocks. She had ap- proximately $3,000 in jewelry and personal effects. A GREAT TAXATHN OCHEME T0 ASSIST BASIC INDUSTRIES Contained in British Budget Brought Down By Churchill April: 24--In a three- hour speech which David Lloyd George and Philip Snowden after- ward declared was the most brilliant performance of Churchill's career, Winston Churchill, Chancellor of the Exchequer, called upon motorists to immolate themselves by paying a tax of fourpence a gallon on petrol for the benefit of the country's indus. tries. He said that taxation on the industries would be reduced accord. ingly. He though that, considering the rapid fall in the price of petrol in recent years, this was an oppor- tune time to impose the tax, and he hoped it would not result in a redue- tion of consumption. The address was so long that Mr. Churchill took a 30-minute rest inter- val in the middle of it to fortify his voice for the concluding section. Revealing that under the Dawes plan Great Britain's receipts from debt © settlements and reparations would nearly equal this coming year the amount which she must pay to the United States, Winston Church- ill, Chancellor of the Exchequer, to- day told a erowded House of Com- mons the condition of Great Britain's public purse. Concerning the Dawes plan receipts, he said that the com- ing financial year would show an aggregate of nearly £32,000,000, He pointed out that this would not be far short of the £32,845,000° which would be paid to the United States, "If in my first speech in this Par- liament," he said, "I had predicted such an equipose within so few years, the members would have been frankly incredible," The Chancellor said that much credit was due those who took part in making the Dawes agreement pos- gible! New Scheme of Tax Relief London, The new scheme of tax relief for the benefit of industry, he said, would be introduced in Parliament this coming Autumn. That portion centrated on heavy traffies. One-fifth would be given to agriculture, the remaining four-fifths to coal mining, coke, timber, iron and manganese ores and limestone for blast furnaces and steel works, He estimated the total relief to these industries would call for raising £29,000,000 yearly from other sources. British sugar refiners will be given the benefit of reduced tariffs on raw materials and the Chancellor said that this lessened duty ought to benefit the retail consumer to the extent of one farthing a pound. This change will be operated immediately. Foreign white sugar will continue to pay the existing duty, Total Revenue For Next Year The total revenue for next year applying to railways would be con-, was estimated at £812,497,000 (ap- proximately $3,956,860,390). The ex- penses, he thought, would amount to £806,195,000, giving a surplus of about £6,300,000 as compared with this year's surplus of £2,600,000. In addition to the tax on petrol, the Chancellor said he would propose a customs duty of onethird ad valorem on buttons and of sixpence cach on mechanical lighters. He also gave notice of a proposed increase of sixpence duty on British wines, The Chancellor said that this year's surplus of more than two and a half million pounds had been gained despite some adverse finan- cial factors. He sald there were some unexpected expenditures, men- tioning a loss of five millions in revenue from the tax on beer and that there was a shortage of three millions in the revenue from the betting tax; The chancellor took credit for economies in Government expendi- ture and a reduction of no less than twenty-eight millions in the coun- try"s dead weight debt within the past year. He said that the treasury had had to deal with an enormous quantity of maturing war indebted- ness but that the worst of this was over and that the general position was greatly improved. Mr, Churchill alluded to the listing of the British funding loan in New York and said that initiative for this came entirely from U.S. sources. He thought the reception of this secur- ity of the U.S. market was signifi- cant in its bearing on British credit. Fixed Debt Charge He announced a' Government de- cision to establish a fixed debt charge of £3565,000,000 a year for in- terest, sinking funds and all other services on the debt so that the pro- cess of amortiaztion would steadily increase. He estimated that this plan would extinguish all indebted- ness, including that to America, in fifty years, He lamented that the country v still suffering from the effects of (he coal strike and general stoppage of industry in 1826 and that no increase in the product of the income tax could be hoped for. Unemployment, he said, remained obstinately at the dismal figure of 1,000,000 persons, but he hoped that his plan for industrial relief would do away with the long stagnation in the "basic industries which formerly were the glory of this island and vital to our export trade." He concluded with an appeal to all parties to suppodt the Government rate reform when it is introduced next November. He. said it was calculate dto remit 75 per cent. of the local rates on industrial build- ings, freight 'carrying railways, canals and harbors, while farm build- ings and land would be totally ex- empt. He said that would be the most important measure of the kind presented to Parliament since 1834.

All productive industry and agri- culture are to be made the benefi- ciaries of a new taxation plan, de- signed to aid the great basic indus- tries which have been depressed since the war and which it is hoped their foreign markets. Early in his speech he announced a surplus for the year pust ended of £4,500,000, For the coming year he fixes revenue at £812,497,000 and ex- penditures of £806,195,000, Instead of the remission of the petrol tax, Churchill announced a tax of four pence a gallon on gaso- line, kerosene and other light oils, a billion tons of which enter Great Britain every year. He will thus gain funds for his ambitious new plans. He also announced that the whole foreign and domestic debt, amount. ing to over $20,000,000,000, will be extinguished in fifty years, without any increase in the present taxation, But these announcements, impor- tant as they were, were almost for- gotten by the erowded and fascinated House as Churchill proceeded to out- line his vast scheme for state aid, which he declared the most import- ant measure to be intraduced in Par- liament "possibly since - the great reform bill © 7884." He made it clear the scheme secur- ed Premier Baldwin's approval, has the whole Cabinet behind it and will, be the Conservative election plat- form next year, Listened to in silence for the most part, the Chancellor turned to the Labor back benches when they did interrupt and shouted: "What? you mock, do you? Then we will advance against you with irresistible power." Will Be Divided Into Two Classes The House listened to him in sil- ence for two hours more as he told how: hereafter English industry will be divided into productive and dis- tributing classes. By a system of legislation, productive industry is to receive remission' of the bulk of its taxes, : By October, 1929, all "productive industry employing manual labor," will be relieved of three-quarters of its present taxation, other than nat- iopal income tax. All taxation on farm lands, farm buildings and live- stock will be "wiped clean off the slate; it will cease to exist." : In addition, freight rates for agri- culture, cial, timber, iron and steel industries are to be reduced eight per cent, The railroads will be com- pensated for this cut by having their local taxation cut to the extent of $20,000,000 this year, Charges at doeks and ports will be correspond- ingly reduced. For the favored in- dustries, buildings used for "produc. tion by manual labor" will only pay cne-quarter of the taxation of other buildings. "Our objective is to separate pro- ductive property from other pro- perty," Churchill explained. Relief for Unemployed In order to effect these changes, Churchill plans legislation changing the whole system of local taxation, and relieving industry of the burden, which present laws impose upon it indirectly, of providing relief for the unemployed, Ten million wage earners are em- ployed in the industries whose taxes and freight rates will be cut. Chur- chill explained that nine-tenths of the unemployed also come from their ranks. The distributing trades, Churchill siad, are more prosperbus than ever and getting more so, Nothing is to be done for them. An immense political controversy will of course centre upon the bud- get and a year of legislation will be necessary to- give it full effect. But the Chancellor sald the Government would force through the bills enab- ling the cut in productive industry's taxation by October of next year, just at the time when a general elec- tion wiil probably be fought. The bulk of the new taxes are placed on the well-to-do through the gasoline tax, which is expected to raise the price from 24 to 30 cents a gallon, There is a reduction of half a cent a pound in the sugar tax, and income tax relief is given to poor men with children. Gasoline used by commercial trucks and fishing boats will not be taxed. : The Chancellor estimated the oil tax will raise $70,000,000 this year and more later, all of which will go to relieve the taxation burden on producing industry. This year's ex- penditures are to be about $50,000, 000 less than last year. Churchill's proposal to place a duty on the lighter oils will: virtually in- crease the present price is approxi- matély one shilling (about 25 cents) per gallon, and there is little doubt that the duty will be passed on to the consumer, The price will become 16 pense, or about 32 cents a gallon.
