PAGE FOURTEEN 'THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 29, 1928 rm Galore Offered by Oshawa Merchants This Week ROTARIANS OF 27TH DISTRICT IN CONVENTION Sessions Opened Monday In Kitchener-- Welcomed By Mayor Kitchener, Aug. 29. -- Kitchener Xo onday had the distinction of being the place for the annual conference of the Rotary Club executives of the Po District of Rotary International. er 100 delegates, comprising the presidents and secretaries of the 56 clubs of the district of New York State, Pennsylvania and Ontario avere assembled at the Walper House where questions concerning the man- agement and conduct of Rotary were isc The sessions are "In charge of District Governor Ro- larian Robert Turnbull of Bath, N.Y, The visitors were cordially wel- tomed at the opening session by Ro- Jlarian H.W. Brown, president of Tthe K-W Rotary Club following which Mayor Ratz delivered an ad- dress of welcome on behalf of the city. The mayor complimented the members of Rotary International upon the excellent humanitarian work being done by the organization par- ticularly in the interests of crippled ishildren. The reply on behalf of the isitors was delivered by Rotarian Howard Vanderhof of Bath, N.Y, who expressed appreciation of the gordial welcome and who stressed the importance of the links of friendship 'Such as were established today. An interesting feature in connec- tion with the 27th district was that «of the 56 clubs exactly half of them are in Ontario while the remainder gre in the United States, An indi- 'gation of the international aspect of Rotary was reflected in the fact that at the opening session both Canadian and American national anthems were sung. A ew visitors were accompanied by their wives who were entertained at ithe country club in the afternoon hy ithe local Rotary Annes. The regular Tuncheon of the local club held in the evening at which about 160 per- sons were present including Rotari- ans from Preston, Guelph and Strat- ford.

Albert B. Finley, Buffalo. and Sirene F. Adams, Dansville, N Mayor's Address Mayor Ratz in addressing the gath- ering remarked: 'Never have I discharged one of my official duties with greater pleas- ure than that which I experience at this time in welcoming to this city the visiting members of your great organization. "To the visiting members 1 say welcome--thrice welcome, Some of you have come from distant parts of Canada, and some from the neigh- boring Republic. On behalf of the people of Kitchener 1 extend to you the freedom of this city. "I am glad to extend the freedom 'of the city to such men as you that have gathered tg take part in the deliberations of this convention; for I know that no matter where you go you will leave the impress of your lofty ideals upon all with whom you come in contact. No selfish motive brings you here. Each of you is here as the friend of humanity. You will make the world better than it was when you came into it; and you are here to deliberate as to the best means of promoting the cause you have at heart. "I do not know all the activities of the Rotarians; nor do I believe any- one not a member can know all your good works, for the reason that your work is done quietly, and without show; but I believe the scope and nature of your labors is wide and varied. As one that has been identi- fied with the municipal life of this city for several years I have had an opportunity of learning something about the work of the Kitchener Rotarians; and their unselfish devo- tion to the interests of crippled chil- dren. What this great work means to the future life of the community, to the country, and to the world at large, we can at this time see but dimly, Only time and eternity can reveal the complete results of your labors. You are building far greater than any of us can at this time fully realize. "Two thousand years ago the great Friend of mankind said, 'Suf- fer little children to come unto me.' That command is capable of a much wider application than is usually considered it to be. It means that we should give all children such an op- portunity in life, such an opportunity or self-expression as their Creator intended they should have. Your or- ganization is carrying out this com- mand in a noble way. You are open- ing wide the door of opportunity for those unfortunate children who have heen handicapped by birth or acci- dent, "By your noble works you are do- ing much to dispel the fear that the world is getting worse. You are proving that the world is getting better, That prominent professional and business men should employ a large portion of their time and means in promoting the welfare of the under-privileged boys and girls is an evidence of the upward moral trend; and the world is bound to become better on account of such activities. You are building on firm foundation; and storing up treasures where 'Moth and rust do not corrupt, "I trust your visit to our city will be a pleasant one; and your con- vention be the most successful in the history of your organization, SHE REALLY MIGHT (Kitchener Record) Ethel Catherwood, winner of the women's high jump at the Olympic Games, vows she will never marry a man under six feet, But she may yet jump at a little baldheaded runt five feet in his shoes, who she'll think is the grandest man that ever happen- ed, Why Pay More FOR YOUR FALL AND WINTER SUIT Scotland Woolen Mills Offer the best value possible.

PAUL'S Huge Girdle Is Being Install: ed to Prevent the Further Spread London, Aug. 28.--Details are now available concerning the huge "bi- cycle chain" of stainless steel which is being placed around the dome of St. Paul's Cathedral. The girdle is being supplied by Brown, Bayley's Steel Works (Limited), of Sheffield, and is being sent to London in sec- tions by lorries. The dome of St. Paul's Cathedral, that part of the fabric which has caused the greatest anxiety, consists essentially of a triple dome supported by a double drum of masonry, sur- rounded by an open colonnade vis- ible from the street, the whole being finally: supported from the founda- tions by eight massive piers. Poor Material Removed These piers are eccentrically loaded and were originally constructed of very poor material. The defective material has been reinforced by pumping concrete grout into the in- terior of the piers, and by other means, but the eccentric loading of the piers has a tendency to push them out of vartical and allow the drum to spread in diameter. This tendency is accentuated by seasonal variations in temperature. The drum expands in hot weather, but being constructed of masonry and having no strength in tension, does not contract by an equal amount in cold weather, To stop this progressive spreading of the drum with the attendant evils in the supporting piers, a stainless steel chain has been designed to en- circle the drum at a point just be- low the Whispering Gallery, and hy means of wedges a stress of 1,000 tons approximately will be imposed upon this chain. It is expected that this tension will be sufficient to pre- vent any further increase in drum diameter. Short Skirt Nearly Created a Furore In Noted London Hotel London, Aug. 27--"Kindly pull your dress down, madam. The man- ager sent me to tell you to do it." This was the startling message that a waitress brought to a woman with the usual short skirt who was taking coffee alone in the lounge of a popu- lar London hotel after lunch. The unhappy victim did not wait to obey the manager. She jumped to her feet, left her coffee unfinished, paid her bill, and went to the hotel entrance. There she sent for the manager and asked him for an explanation of his message. He invited her to his office and said quietly :-- "It is quite true I sent you the mes- sage, madam. short nowadays that they have no idea how they are sitting. Sometimes we have rows of women sitting out- side in the large armchairs who dis- close so much leg that the men make fun of them as they pass by. "I had no intention of insulting you. You see, I did not come and tell you myself." NINETEEN HOURS BY AIR (From the New York Evening Post) Flying from Los Angeles to New York, a distance of 2710 miles, Colonel Art. Goebel has spanned the continent in eighteen hours and fifty-eight minutes. He has cut more than a quarter off the record for non-stop transcontinental flying made in 1923. This is one more striking example of the progress which aviation has made in the past five years. When we stop to realize that California and New York have now been hrought within considerably less than one day's travel from each other, we see Colonel Goebel's record for what it is. It immediately evokes comparisons of overland transporta- tion since the days of the covered wagon no less startling: than those to which we have hecome accus- tomed in overseas travel. It was not an casy flight. Tt was not one which everybody would have the stamina to carry through, Pilot and passenger as well as plane are fully entitled to every bit of credit which they will receive.

Not only is much more serious and practical consideration being given the matter gy authori- ties overseas, as Premier Ferguson reports, but negotiations here on Tuesday with Lord Lovat, chairman of the Settlement Board, are said to have resulted in certain adjust- ments, suggested by the Ontario Department of Afticultire, which are expected to ilitate greatly the supervision and aftercare of newcomers, as well as speeding up migration to Ontario of desirable farm workers and of boys prepared to learn agriculture. Although particulars of the new financial arrangements are not be- ing given publicity, pending com- pletion of Lord Lovat's conversations with other provinces, and his re- port to the Overseas Settlement Board, it may be said that a special agreement has been reached with respect to settlement in Northern Ontario. Bona fide farmers from the Old Country desiring to take up land in the northern part of the province may obtain $1,000, half of which will be contributed by the Overscas Settlement Board and half by the Ontario Government, to en- able them to mae a start with im- plements and buildings. Land is available from the Department of Lands and Forests in 160-acre blocks, at 50 cents an acre subject to the usual regulations as to clear- ing, cultivation and erection of buildings, whereas in any good ag- ricultural section of old Ontario, $1,000 would not go very far toward purchase of a farm alone, exclusive of implements and stock. To this special agreement the Federal Goy- ernment 18 not a party, as in the more general schemes. The Cottage Scheme As intimated by Hon. John 8. Martin after Tuesday's conference with Lord Lovat, a cottage scheme has been approved, with a view to provision of a suitable home and two or three acres for married im- migrants going on Ontario = farms. The original plan has been sub- jected to some changes, one of which is said fo be leasing of these plots to the Ix i Gover t for a term of years, rather than outright purchase, which it was felt would frequently not be acceptable to the farmer concerned. ~ Annual BARGAIN 2 yd.
