' THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1928 PAGE THREE Christmas Cheer Fund Needs Help of Every Oshawan This Season Peli Ape Sue fn Santa to Remember Their Little Brothers and Sisters Assistance of Generous Citizens is Ne» cessary to Make Christmas a Happy Day in Needy Homes : "Dear Santa," says a little girl writing to that very realistic per- sonage of the Northern Regions, in care of the Christmas Cheer Com- mittee, "I am not to write ta you this year for a lot of toys, My little sister, who is eight years old, wants a dol, but she needs some un- derwear, Santa, and some boots so she can go out in the snow when it comes, 'We have to stay in the house when it gets cold 'cause the wind comes through our clothes. There are three of us, and we all want something to keep the cold out. Will you bring us some?" Many Like This This pathetic appeal is only one of the numerous letters received by members of the Christmas Cheer Committee, who, realizing the re- sponsibility of their positions, are doing everything in their power to swell the coffers of the Christmas Cheer Fund, They alone, however, are not able to raise this fund te $3,000, the amount needed to take care of every little girl and boy and every family who is in need of as- sistance, financial or otherwise, with the winter season approaching, one' Letters pleading for help, letters acknowledging support from last year's fund, letters praising the Christmas Cheer committee; and yet each one with its little plea for more aid, individual assistance, is read oy= er, line by line, by one who inquires hia every case that comes before im, : Each For All It is rather a pitiable circumstance when affairs are such that assistance is needed, But we cannot get away from the fact that there are such cases and a great many of them. Brothers in more than one way are we, who are called upon at this time of the year to help out our brothers and sisters, High and low alike contribute towards an equaliza- tion on that day of days, Christmas, So must we who plan festivities on that occasion take one responsibility upon ourselves, to play the man and donate our mite, All must give, and all must unite to make sure that the Fund this year reaches the objective of $3,000, It won't be hard to do if we re: member and contribute, ourselves, Do it now! \ MODERN BUSINESS SHOULD RENDER PUBLIC SERVICE "Milton D, Bergey Talks to the Rotarians on Rotary Education Rotarian Milton D, Bergey, presi- dent of the Campbell-Ewald Com- pany, and formerly advertising man- ager of General Motors of Canada, was the speaker at the weekly lunch- eon of the Oshawa Rotary Club in Welsh's parlors today, Mr, Bergey spoke on "Rotary Education." Four Life P There were four periods of edu- cation, he said; comprising the pre- natal or hereditary influences, early environment, school life, and self- education, the last period extending irom the time the ex-pupil flourished his diploma to the world, saying that he was an "educated man," until the graye cl.imed him, During this last period, a man relied for his educa- tion largely on impressions obtained from contacts with others, and upon reading. The value of the education obtained depends wholly upon how it was assimilated, and whether the man learned to profit by his oppor- tunities and master his environment, "It is oply as we put this know- ledge to the test of actual use, that it becomes of value," declared the speaker, Applying the fact: ing th yin, acts concerning the foutth period of education to Ro- tarians, Mr. Bergey said that Ro- tary everywhere gave its members a b r view of business. plifters find us poor and leave us poor, but business, in which modern ethics are applied, is a real friend of the people--it finds us poor and lea- ves us rich," declared Mr. Bergey. Ti speaker illustrated this remark with 1 ferences to the electric light Companies, who found iis in dark- ness.and left us in light, the farm im- t mapufactugers, who found the Rrmer EH ing with a hoe and rake and left him ding Sremphant- ly over the fields; automo- bile manufacturers, who found us sit- i ront porch,and leit unlimited range of Public Service Mr. Bergey in closing said before business could be a real friend to the people, "each officer of each com- pany must realize that he is pot only an officer of a nrivate company, that he has really a responsibility as a public officer, in giving real ser- vice to the people." EXPANSION IS THE GREAT PROBLEN KING $T. CHURCH Rev, C, E, Cragg Deals With the Question at Sunday Morning Service Under the subject "The Greatest The of Our Church," Rev, C. E, Cragg delivered an interesting and inspiring sermon on Sunday morn- ing in King Street United Church, For a considerable time King St. Church has been crowded to the doors and the problem of expansion has been one of deep consideration by members of the board, 8 mem- bership which is one of the largest in the United Church of Canada and with the increased growth of tie city is climbing very fast, With an attendance in the Sunday School of six to seven hundred, the need for proper accommodation to keep step with the growth was stressed by Mr. Cragg as the ime portant item of interest in the minds of those responsible, Giving to the Church : The solution of this problem, he said, was in developing the proper spirit and proper system of giving, Mr, Cragg spoke at some length on the principle of giving one-tenth to the church as the principle laid down by our Lord Himself and the one that should govern present day giving. He also quoted several conerete cases Where this principle had been adopted and in every case a marvelous increase resulted in a spiritual and also a material way. : "With a congregation such as we have here," said the pastor, 'we can have whatever we want if we go about it in the right way. The Tithing system in the form of a "Tithers' Club" has already been advocated by the official Board and in this way Mr. Cragg believed lay the solution of the problem of giving the people that attend the church and Sunday School the ac- commodation they should have to keep them interested in the work of the chureh. Keeping the People "With the great crowds of young people who come to King 8t. Church, we must provide to keep them hy having facilities that' will meet their requirements, We should not wait till they start to drift away to realize and take steps to keep them," said Mr, Cragg, On numerous occasions this fall the Sunday School room has heen ohened to accommodate the peo- ple. An organization meeting of the "Tithers' Club" {is being held to- night (Monday) in the Board room, a large number of the memhers of the Board alreadv having Indicated their intention of joining.

CONTEST 1S EXPECTED IN VICTORIA, B.C. Delay in Placing Tory Can- didate in Field Has an Effect Ottawa, Dec. 3, -- Reports from Victoria, B.C., indicate the by-el ection there on Thursday next will be very close, While Hon, Dr, Tolmie carried Victoria for the Conseryatives by 2,600, he was an exceptionally strong candidate, a cabinet minister, and had a weak opponent. Hon, Dr, McLean, the Liberal candidate in 'the present contest, is very popular and will poll a larger vote than that of his party, Dr. B, Plunkett is the pres- ent Conservative candidate, Not in Federal Riding | In the recent provincial election, Hon, Dr. McLean, although defeat- ed in the provincial Vietorio riding, had a small majority in that part of it which comprises the federal constituency, Oak Bay, which is strongly Conservative, is in the d | provineial consituency but not ip the federal. He is appealing to th® people on the ground that there is po national significance in the bye- election, but this is not the view of the Liberal Leaders here, gs Hon. James Malcolm, Hon. James A. Robb, Hop. Charles Stewart and Sepator Andrew Haydon have all gone from here to take part in the contest on his behalf. Delay Hon. R. B. Bennett will speak in Victoria on Tuesday and Wednes- day and will nrge a policy of de- mestic utilization of raw material, instead of shipping it to the Unit- ed States.An attempt was made to. secure an acclamation for Hon. Dr. Mclean as a solace for his defeat in the provineial contest, but to this the Conservatives would not agree, although some favored ft, and this caused a delay in placing a Consgervfive candidate in the field, which has militated against their success.

PRISONER WAGES AROUGH BATTLE WITH AN OFFICER John Clancy Assessed for Intoxication and Pays for ' Police Tunic Troubles never come singly at the local police station, This fact was demonstrated last night, One sergeant of police is minus a tunic, and one man appeared in police court this morning as the result of the affair, It so happened, that a certain man in town, John Clancy by name, was arrested last night for being intoxicated and was quickly escort- ed to the loeal bastille, The ser- geant, Ed, Stautfer, was inclined to disagree with his prisoner's man- ner when being searched, and therefore decided that force was absolutely necessary, in Shreds But h prisoner probably thought likewise, and with a vigor- ous wrench of his body he caught the sergeant in such a position that before the latter bad time to turn, hig tunic was ip shreds, This aec- tion on the part of 'the prisoner, however, did not meet with the ap- proval of the sergeant, who vi quickly placed his man under h influence by some act of jiu jitsu, Pays for Uniform In addition to a fine of $30 and # | costs Mr. Clancy was assessed $30 extra when he appeared in police court this morning to go towors ols new tunic for Seregant Staup- The tattered tupic hangs In Police Chief Friend's office this morning, mute evidence of the bat- tle waged last night between the guardian of the law and the prison- After all there's nothing remark: able about laying a corner stone, What else could they do with it?-- Kitchener Record, Sunday would seem as ressive as ever if stil iq I wore their chener Record, Even the announcement that spavin is incurable will not prevent young from ~Toronto Telegram.

Thompson in the county court chambers this morning. The provisional board of ihe pro- posed local hospital is plaintiff in the action and has retained A. G. Browning, K.C., of Whitby, as coun- gel, while Gordon D. Conant, of Osh- awa, is acting for the hoard of the Oshawa General Hospital which has been named as defendant. A Request The Late Col J, E. Farewell died on Dee. 29, 1923 and, according to his will, left a legacy to the propos ed Whitby Memorial Hospital of $3,000 providing work of construe- tion be started within three years after his death. If the board of the hospital failed to comply with these conditions then the legacy would re- vert to the Oshawa Hospital board, On December 29, 1926, the first sod was turned on the site of the Propased hospital at Byron and hestnut streets, Work of exeava- tion was commenced but little more was performed, The local beard considers that it fulfilled the terms of the legacy while the Oshawa board thinks that it did not comply with the conditions and is, there- fore, not entitled to the bequest, Contract Let The first witness to be called was R. J. Underwond, who was let a con- tract to take out the site of the hos- pital and make an excavation, This was on Dec, 27, 1926, and according to his evidence he made a sub-con- tract with T, W. Ross of Whitby and work was commenced on December 28.» James Willis, president of the pro- vineial board of the proposed hos- pital, was then called to the witness hox and related the particulars con- cerning the activities of the board, After examination hy Mr, Browning, cross-examination by Mr, Conant proceeded, Question: "Did the Whitby Mem- orial hospital receive any money from the town council or county of Ontario?" "It did not ask for any." "When was the bylaw passed by the council to grant it money." "Seven years ago." : "When was the board organized?" "In 1926," "#Did you know that Col Farewall died bn Dec, 28, 18237" "Yes" "You obtained your charter with- in a8 few days of three years after his death? "Yes," "Was the board organized follow: ing the granting of the charter" "Yes. Minute Book The minute book of the Whitby Hospital Board was then produced. Mr, Conant pointed out an entry stating that on December 27, 1826 the board called for a contract to stake out land and make an excava. tion, Counsel asked Mr, Willis if he knew when the work started, The witness replied that he consid- ered the work had started the day after the contract was signed, Witness admitted that the bequest of $8000 or $4000 mean much to the hospital board and that the legacy would influence further subscrip- tions, Mr, Conant: "Would you say that the Nig ad hinged on this bequest?" 'No, Mr, Conant: "You have no regis tered deed of the land? The deed you have is subject to a condition that within two years from Dee, 28, 1926 a hospital should be built on the p rty worth at least $20,000," Mr. Browning: "There is another agreement covering this and allow- ing an extension of a year, I am not yet at liberty to submit this as evidence," x Copy of Bylaw Town Clerk John Frost submitted a copy of bylaw passed by the coun- eil in July, 1921, Questioned by Mr, Conant, Town Clerk Frost admitted that there was no further record of transactions with the Whitby Mem- origl Hospital Board as far as the bylaw was concerned, A, BE. Christian, clerk of the coun- 4 of Ontario, at request of Mr, rowning, produced record of the proceedings of the June session the county council in 1921, showing 0 page 4 that a deputation from the proposed Whitby tal board waited upon the council and request- ed a grant.

J.E. Farewell Whitby, Oshawa Take Question of Bequest Before County Court J. B. Willis, chai Miss Chris. tina Thompson, Mr, E, L. Odlum and himself, In September 1926, he claimed, a public meeting was called by the town council to discuss re- organization of the board. The secs retary-treasurer declared that $7,000 had been subscribed and $3,000 had been paid up. At the public meet- ing authority was given to recom. stitute the board retaining as many of the old members as possible. Plans for the mew hospital were prepared and received in 1927, Agreement was made with the archi« teet, Mr, Somerville, of Toronto, on December 27, 1928 and tenders were called for the building by the archi- tect. The treasurer added that the excavation and building contracts were to be let separately. Asked by Mr. Browning, he stated that the work was not continued on account of the winter and the fact that a communication had been received from the Toronto General Trusts Corporation giving notice that an objection had been made by the Oshawa Hospital Boards concerning the Farewell legacy. Bequest Not Vital Mr. Conant: "Then your whole project depended on this bequest 2 Dr, MacDougall: "No, it would help materially." : Mr, Conant asked whether the witness considered it a beld thing to attempt to erect a hospital in view of the amount of money which had been subscribed, Mr. Browning objected. The fin. ancial side of the proposition is a matter for the board and not the court," he declared. Mr, Conant said he wanted to show whether the proposed hospital was a bonafide project. Photos Produced Edward Pankhurst of Cambpell's studio, Oshawa, was called to iden. tify photographs which were said to have been taken by him purporting to be the propesed Whitby hospital site at Byron and Chestnut streets, Mr, Browning: "When were the photographs taken?" Witness: "Two weeks ago." Mr, Browning: "That is to say two years after this excavation was made." Miss BE. McWilliams, superintens dent of the Oshawa Hospital, testis fied that the late Col, Farewell died in the hospital on Dec, 29, 1823 at 2.15 pm, Thomas W. Ross, the sub-contrace tor for R. J. Underwood, testified that he started excavation on the afs ternoon of December 28, and did work to the value of $226. Mr, Ross stated that he had not received any money for the work as yet.
