Shop In Oshawa and Help Build Up the Town The Ontario Reformer All the News While It Is News (VOLUME 51--No. 34 Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday Published at Oshawa, Ont,, Canada OSHAWA, ONTARIO, TUESDAY, JUNE 20, --r 1922 Yearly Subscription $3.00 Single Copies 5 Cents EIGHT PAGES ROTARIANS WITNESS BREAD MAKING BY MODERN MACHINERY Visit Tod's Bakery Following Monday's Luncheon at Welsh's PROCESS"IS EXPLAINED Plant Is Most Modern in Province, Outside of Large Cities ' Monday's luncheon at the Rotary Club was "Dave Tod's Day." It started immediately the Rotarians stepped inside the banquet hall at Welsh's Parlors. They found posters on the wall, telling of the food value of bread, and favors their plates including white tissue paper hakers' caps, with the message, "Bread is your best food; eat more of it," re- cipe books and "Big Dandy' pencils, And following the luncheon there was a short address in which, Mr. Tod introduced Mr. Harry E. Trent, | Shannonville and Harrow, and while Cobéurg Man and Henry Doxstater, aged 35, public school Principal, of Cobourg, arrest- ed in Rochester with his alleged wife after it was learned that she had deserted a husband and six children, the youngest only one year old, on Saturday waived extradition and both were returned to Cobourg. Doxstater formerly taught at at the latter boarded at the home of William Borland. He and Bor- land's wife, Mary Greve, became in- fatuated and eloped to Cobourg, where, it was alleged, they were married on April 28 last, They liv- ed there for a few weeks and then went to Rochester, where they were employed in a candy store. . Mrs, Borland-Doxstater is about 31 years of age. Notwithstanding the present situ- atdon the couple, express undying love for each other. They came be- fore Chief Magistrate Floyd Mon- day, charged with bigamy. They elected to he tried by the Judge without a jury. Doxstater is not a Cobourg public school Principal. His early home was, however, in the northeast of Northumberland county, CHRISTIAN CHURCH of Toronto, manager of The Fleisch- man Yeast Co,, for Ontario, who gave a history of bread-making down to the modern machinery. There were also present as guests Rotarians "Billy" Carruthers and *'Bob" Me- Mullen of the Ideal Bread Co., To- ronto, and "Jim' Anderson, of the Lake of the Woods Milling Co., Ltd. Mr. Trent traced the bakery busi- ness back to the Bible, éxplaining that the first baker mentioned there had been hanged, but he asured his hearers that bakers today did not merit such punishment. He told of the passing of various laws in this country governing bread making, and asked if it were fair that bakers should be required to sell loaves only in 12 and 24 ounce sizes, when butchers, grocers, etc, were not tied down similarly in selling their pro- duets. As it is bakers allow two and a half ounces on every loaf for shrinkage, but should enough not he allowed there is no provision in the law for bread being slightly under- weight. Competition Regulates Price ' Immediately there is a reduction in the price of flour, people expect a lowering of the cost of bread. Peo- ple forget to allow for the high price of the other numerous things that must be figured in the expenses of a bakery, said Mr. Trent. Competition. he felt, was the best regulator of price. ' "The province of Ontario may look with pride on its splendidly equipped bakeries," said the speaker, "and Oshawa is fortunate in having one of the best equipped bakeries on the continent." One big oven, as used in large bakeries today, will turn out as much bread in one week as will 200,000 women in their homes, and under ideal conditions. Bread was a great strength producer. A person can walk 26 miles on a pound of bread and only 20 miles on a pound of beefsteak, it had been es- timated. ! Referring again to the price of bread, Mr. Trent said that there would have to be a reduction of $1.70 a barrel on the cost of flour to permit a reduction of one cent a loaf on bread, without considering other materials. If bakers had been paid at the same high scale of wages as mechanics during the war, the cost of 'bread would have been about 25 cents a loaf. Visited Bakery At the lusion of the Iu the Rotarians visited Mr. Tod's bak- ery. The 7 by 72 foot addition to his plant has just been completed, and the machinery re-arranged. The result is that today Mr, Tod declares he has the best equipped bakery in any place in the province, with the exception of large cities such as To- ronto. The Rotarians expressed pleasure at what they saw at the plant, which many noted was strik- ing in contrast with the methods used in baking twenty and thirty years ago. Practically all the baking is done without being touched by hand. The fiour is first sifted and is then car- ried automatically into the large me- chanical mixer. From there it drops into large vats, where it remains for about four hours. At the con- clusion of this time the dough is beaten down--this being done by hand, not only here but everywhere else on the continent, Mr. Tod ex- plained. The dough is then taken - from the vats and placed in the div- iding machine, where it is automat- ically chopped off the correct size to make a loaf. As it is earried to the next machine an attendant weighs an occasinnal loaf to make sure it is the correct weight. From the divider it is carried to the round- er up machine on a canvas carrier. Then it is carried into the proofer in pans. From the proofer it is drop- ped into pans, this again by hand. It is then moved into the steam room. It stays in the latter place for a few minutes so as to keep it soft. From there the large racks, bearing 480 loaves, are moved into the oven. The oven, with the 480 loaf capacity, turns out the bread baked im 45 minutes. There is another oven with a 300 loaf capacity which bakes the bread in 55 minutes. It requires ten minutes to unload the h When the bread comes out of the ovens it is taken to the bread room. There the drivers make out printed requisitions for the requirements of their customers. All the bread is loaded under cower. The addition to the plant gives of- ( on page 4 CONFERENCE ENDS Many Oshawa People Motor To Ringwood For The Sunday Services The annual session of the Ontario Christian conference was brought to a close Sunday evening at Ringwood where delegates from all over the province were present to hear re ports and addresses on the various departments of the church work. The principal speaker was Dr. W. H. Dennison, of Dayton, Ohio, who gave several addresses which were of an inspirational nature. Others who spoke, were Rev. C. J. Felton, of Toronto, formerly of Oshawa; Rev. W..P. Fletcher, of Toronto, Rev. E. C. Fockler, of Toronto, Rev. E. C. Hall, of Newmarket, all former pastors of Oshawa Christian Church and Rev. E. T. Cotten, present pas- tor of the church here. Rev. E. C. Hall was re-elected president of the conference. Those who attended from Oshawa as delegates were, Rev. E. T. Cotten and Mrs. Cotten, Miss Violet Samells, Miss Ella Rogers, Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Samells, Mrs. J. Johnston and Mr. L. A. Koch. On Sunday about thirty- five members of the local congrega- tion motored to Ringwood for the services, the feature of which was the ordination ceremony, Mr. Llewlyn Fletcher, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Fletcher being ordained into the ministry. It is his intention to at- tend Yale for four years and then go to the foreign field, possibly Ja- pan.

Told MRS. WRIGHT SPEAKER Mrs. A. J. Stalter, of Oshawa, Is Again Elected as President The 27th annual convention of the Ontario County Women's Christian Temperance Union was held in the Baptist church, Whitby, Friday, June 16th, with the largest attend- ance on record. The president, Mrs, A. J. Stalter, of Oshawa, was in the chair, The devotional exercises were led by Mrs, Walker, of Ux- bridge, Most fratifying reports were re- ceived from all departments, These showed an increase in members and finances. Special mention was made of Prince Albert's complete contribu- tion to the Budget Fund. Several splendid papers were read, One on Prayer, by Mrs. Park, Oshawa, con- tained much for personal thought. The report that a girls' "Y' had been recently organized at Oshawa received hearty commendation and a paper given by one of their members, Mrs. L. Palmer, was full of infor- mation, A notable feature of the convention was the presentation of two County life membership pins, both going to Whitby women, Miss Mitchell and Miss B. Powell, the latter being donated by Mrs. E. E, Starr, of Whitby, For securing ten members, a Star of Honor pin was awarded Mrs, R. Virtue, leader of the Oshawa *"Y". Mrs. Virtue was a bouquet of roses by Mrs. Starr. The eptertain- ment committee had not overlooked in any detail the comforts and pleas- ure of their guests. The refresh- ment tables were a delight to see with delicacies and flowers and a beautiful red or white rosebud for each individual. During the banquet hour very interesting and educative greetings were received from the local clergy, also the president of the a Miss Lee, Toronto, leader of the Girl Guides.

Creighton represent- ing the Town of Oshawa and CG. W. Mason, K.C,, representing Scott Bros. The judgement is given as follows: The reasons given, if 1 may look at them, show that all elements of com- pensation were considered and the claims made were put forward clear- ly and with skill. The elements of personal loss and injury to business were rightly rejecied, for, gas al ready noted, the value of the land taken and the injury to the land left are the sole elements of damage, The Supreme Court says that an Appel- late Court should not interfere un- less satisfied that the award does not represent the honest opinion of the arbitrators or that their basis of valuation was erroneous, The ap- peal should be dismissed, but I give no costs, FORMER OSHAWA MAN CELEBRATES GOLDEN WEDDING J. H. Rogers Left Here Over Half Century Ago For States On Monddy evening of last week, Mr. J. H. Rogers, of Portage, Wis- consin, a former old resident of Osh- awa, with Mrs. Rogers, celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of their wedding, Mr. Rogers is a brother of Mr. B. J. Rogers, Simcoe Street South, of this town, and was born on the old Rogers' homestead on the lake shore, owned at the present time by Mr. B. J. Rogers. He receiv- ed his education in Cedar Dale and later at Thornton's Corners, and graduated from Vivtoria College, Cobourg. He then attended Ann Ar bor University, from which he grad- uated as a lawyer and immediately took up residence in Portage, Wis- consin. He has held the position of County State "Attorney for several ears, It is more than fifty years since Mr. Rogers left Oshawa and his last visit here was ten years ago. Out of WILL BE ERECTED | Rev.

Dawson and Ro- bert Sculthorp were instantly killed last Friday night at the level cross- ing, just west of the Cobourg Sta- tion. The two young men and Edgar Rowson were returning from Co- bourg about eleven o'clock and reach- ed the crossing just as the train which carries express only came tear- ing along. The car was struck just at the driver's seat and Sculthorp and Dawson, who were in front, were instantly killed, the former being thrown to the north track and the latter on 'the embankment. Secul- thorp was badly cut about the head but there is not a single scratch on Dawson's body. Rowson, who was in the back seat, was carried about either of the other men and it is (Continued on page 4 Committee On Mechanic Street Extension Busy When asked this morning by The Reformer what had been dome by the special committee, of which he is chairman, which was appointed in connection with the opening of Me- chamic Street North, Councillor Mof- fatt, said that some progress was being made. It is realized by mem- bers of the committee that the peo- ple of that district need sewer com- nection, and it is with this in mind that an effort is being put forth to get the right of way mecessary for the street, which would enable the sewer to be comstructed. Mr. R. W. Dixon, who owns about half of the property through which the extended street would have to pass, has promised to give the land required for the right of way, Counc. Moffatt said: Mr. Dixon has also agreed to allow the town to take gravel from the creek passing through his property, in connection with work on the extension. This offer, of course, is subject to the other property owners reaching am agreement with the town giving the land required for the right of The speaking Sunday evening, prior to the launch- the morning on twenty-five yards farther east tham: tied in doing so much longer. It means hard work, much sacrifice and liberality on the part of all great need is co-operation of the fullest and heartiest nature," declared Rev. By W. Allin M.A, Diocese and Finance Commissioner, in St. George's Church ing of a campaign for funds to com- plete the proposed new Memorial Church. Rev. Mr. Allin spoke in what the Church meant, while his evening address dealt with the only manner in which a congregation could carry out the work it was their duty to perform. Timely Addresses Both addresses were timely and most appropriate on such an occa- sion when the members and adher- ents of St. George's Church are seriously considering undertaking the most important step in the his- tory of the Church. One of the big- est difficulties in the Church, Mr. Allin pointed out, is the one-sided view of some people as to the mean- ing of it. The Church is a Divine institution with a Divine message and purpose for the whole world, and the work the Christian Church has to do is the biggest given to any institution in the world. The Church should be a centre of acti- vity, mot for a few respectable people but for everyone. Unity Needed The different aspects to the devo- tional side of church work, the speaker declared were prayer, medi- tation and then action on the truths given to the people. The church should be steeped in prayer but even then it was not simply its duty to pray to God and them stop but the result should be reasoning and doing. He had heard people blame the church but they forgot to blame themselves. It was the people of the congregation who constituted the church. It needed a combination of brave men and women who are trained to work together with their inddvidual powers developed to a high degree, in a great body for a great end. { Equipment and Training luustrating his thought by re- ferring to the allied armies, Mr. Allin declared that they could mever have wom the war without equip- ment and the training to work to- gether but at the time, if called a family of fourteen, only three are living, the two brothers and one sis- lives for King and Country; ODDFELLOWS PAY RESPECT TO DEAD DECORATE GRAVES Annual Service Held Sunday --Parade From Lodge Rooms MR.

Mr. Rogers, privr to leaving Oshawa, | devoted most of bis time to studies, but always took an active interest | in the church and is still éontribut- ing liberally to the work of the Osh- awa Christian Church, In reporting the golden wedding which was celebrated Monday, June | 12th, the Register-Democrat, of Por-| tage, says: "Wedding bells, echoing down fifty years, sounded last evening at the Emder House when a hundred guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Rogers, assembled at dinner to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of their mar- riage. The occasion earried both the rejoicing and the solemnity of a time in which few ever share. But it stood for more than these, for rarely have there been here more genuine expressions of gratitude for benefic- ent and kindly lives than were ex- tended to Mr. and Mrs. Rogers by their friends. Pretty Decorations "Yellow, the golden wedding color, was in all the elaborate decorations. The main dining room of the hotel was set with one long table and many small tables, and these were 'canopied by ropes of smilax thrown from the central chandeliers to the walls and hung with baskets of yél- low flowers tied with gold tulle. At the plates were tiny gilded souvenir baskets filled with yellow daisies; there were Marcheniel Niel roses for the gentlemen; and the tables were set with large flower baskets of yel- low and white. The Ringling or- chestra of Baraboo played delight- fully in the hotel lobby. "Mrs. Rogers wore a gown of gray crepe de chine and point lace. and carried yellow rosebuds and her mother's wedding shawl of white em- broidered silk. At the long table with Mr. and Mrs. Rogers were rela- tives and friends of many years, five of these friendships having been be- gun before that other wedding day. "At ten o'clock, after a most de- licious dinner, Judge W. 8. Stroud, acting as toastmaster, called on some of the guests to express what every- one was feeling of the beauty and significance of the evening. Rev. Ralph Hindman, Professor W. G. Clough, Mrs. J. H. Ritchey, Henry E. Andrews, Judge Chester, A. Fowler and Miss Zona Gale were the speak- ers and brought to the time some re- flection of the appreciation felt by the friends of the host and hostess for all that they mean to Portage and have meant down a half cen- tury. Phases of his full life, with contacts in home and town and state the speakers emphasized, the hospi- tality, the helpfulness, the influence for real values and dignified and just and scrupulous living. And as they spoke to Mr. and Mrs. Rogers, who sat surrounded by their children, their grandchildren, and by friends, every one of whom was in some way beholden to them, the hour took on the aspect of far more than a social way.

The booths were effectively decor- ated with flags and bunting, and there was am excellent display of sewing and wearing apparel of all kinds and description. Especially worthy of mention was the home- made cooking booth, for the supply was very generous and inviting. Later in the afternoon tea was served under the trees and a social good time enjoyed by all who partook. The program was not put on as| extensively as planned, several mu- sical numbers had to be omitted owing to the weather, but the num- bers rendered were very much en joyed. There was a cherus by the girls, "When the Tide Comes in." piano duet, by Beatrice Pugh and Willie Dennis, solo, by Ivy Fleming. A Folk Dance by 12 little girls, all dressed in green, was exceptionally pretty, as was the fairy drill by ten little girls in white. Mrs. R. 8. McLaughlin opened the Bazaar and presented the prizes for sewing and attendance at sewing classes. Mrs. MeLaughlin, in pre- senting the prizes, congratulated the girls on their splendid work, and called for three cheers for Mrs. Wit- terick, who has worked hard to make not only the bazaar a success, but was painstaking in her work in the sewing class.

W. Durham Tories Booth's Braves Turn In Another Victory; Beat Belleville 5 - 2 Grand Trunks Used a City League Youngster in Box, as Their Star Southpaw, Williams, is Laid Up with a Sore Arm--Patton Twirled for Oshawa BELLEVILLE DISPUTE UMPIRE'S DECISION Despite Heavy Rain Crowd Was One of Largest of Sea- son and Diamond Was in Fairly Good Shape--Locals Play in Lindsay Wednesday Despite a heavy downfall of rain a couple of hours before the time when the Central Ontario League fixture was announced to get under way at Alexandra Park Saturday afternoon, a little extra work put the field in fairly good shape allow- ing Oshawa and Belleville to clash before one of the largest crowds of the season, Effective pitching by Patton in difficult situations gave the league leaders a 5 to 2 victory over the Trunks. In almost every innings Belleville runners got on bases and on some occasions, the bags w loaded but the visitors a the necessary punch to bring the men in. In the seventh and eighth only did the Trunks go out in order, Jef- frey, a City League hurler, drew the pitching assignment for the visitors, Williams having developed a sore arm in Wednesday's game, Four Walks for Evans Patton was given almost gilt- edged support, two errors being made behind him, one of them a wide throw by Twigg in the first in- nings, but considering the condition of the ground, which was somewhat slippery, the class of ball could not be improved upon. Weir, who was off color in the Quinte City last Wed- nesday, was exactly the reverse on Saturday, accepting eight chances perfectly and he received three pass es to first in five times at bat Johnnie Evans was not given z chance to bring his batting record up to a higher level and, judging 'rom appearances, Central League pitchers are just a little bit frighten. ed of his prowess with the bat. Johnnie went to first base four times on four balls and is therefore not credited with a time at bat. Twigg demonstrated to the faps that he can hit the ball and hit it hard. Three hits, including a home run in five attempts, is fine work and a fourth attempt was a long fly to right field. 23 Men Left on Bases Patton struck out six of the visit- ors but walked seven and he was touched nine times. Thirteen Belle- ville men were left on bases, three in the first, three in the second, two in the third, two in the fourth, one in the sixth and two in the ninth. ' Osh- awa were almost in a like position, ten of the locals being left on. Jef- frey was inclined to be wild, walking five men and at times having much difficulty in locating the plate. With Williams again in form, the Trunks will have one of the strongest teams in the league and if he had been available for Saturday, the large crowd of spectators would have wit- nessed a sensational game. Umps' Decision Disputed The game was exciting at many stages, more 'particularly because runners were decorating the bases in ilmost every frame and it was guite ommon to see three men on with no- body out, and then the side would oe retired without a score. Umpire Gloster was the centre of attraction 'n the sixth frame when he called Harry Mills out at first for running Jf the base line. Wilson had drop- ved the throw and the runner had seen called safe by Base Umpire Barnes but the Umpire-in-Chief overruled the decision. A warm argument followed between the of- icial and the Belleville men, with the result that several of them were warned and the visiting official scorer was chased from the players' bench to the press box. Whether the official was right or 'wrong in his ruling is only known to himself but he certainly kept control of the game. Umpire Gloster was in the right posi- tion to see if Mills ran out of his al- Elect Officers The West Durham Conservative Association met in their annual con- vention in the Town Hall at Bow- manville Saturday afternoon, when the following officers were elected: President, A. J. Staples, Orono; First Vice-President, Mrs. L. A. W. Tole; Second Vice-President, Mayor H. L, Quinn; Third Vice-President, Miss Nellie Taylor, Nestleton; Sec- retary-Treasurer, W. F. Ward, bar- rister, Bowmanville; Associate Sec- retary, Miss Carrie Martyn, Bow- manville; Auditors, P. C. Trebil- cock, Archie Tait. Dr. V. H. Storey, Past President, was chairman. Ad- dresses were given by Capt. Joseph Thompson, M.P.P., Toronto; W. G. Clysdale, Conservative Organizer; C. Jonas Thornton, ex-M.P.; John H. Devitt, ex-M.P.P., and others. Mr. Clysdale predicted that there would be an election in the very near fu- ture. lotted territory in going to first, as alleged, and he was apparently the only one who had noticed it so that it would be impossible even for the Belleville players to state positively whether or not Mills had done as the umpire claimed. Still Leading C.0.B.L. Oshawa is still leading the first half of the race and if this coming week brings forth similar successes to those of last week, Bert Booths tribe will be well on the way to the championship of the first section. The Petes will be the hardest propo- sition for the Motor City artists and no doubt Jake is saving his star man, Al Heckman, for this occasion. The Oshawa batters have the kmack of bunching their hits, which always brings results, and right now they are the equal of any outfit in the league for snappy fielding. The out- field has been strengthened and for (Continued on page 5)
