President Treasurer Editor OSHAWA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1922, Bn Rl THE REFORMER--A NEWSPAPER, NOT AN ORGAN. : Bver since the announcement of a change 'of ownership 'in The" Reformer 'appeared there have been rumors regarding the paper's politienl affilia- tions. In some quarters it is stated that The Reformer is :an organ of the Drury Government: In other places it is said that 'it is to support Prem- ier King, and so on !/down the list, The new owners. take 'this 'opportunity of em: phaticelly 'stating: that The Reformer will be. run as an independent. journal. It is not the organ or mouthpiece of any Government, party or group and does. not intend to so become. The ownership and control -of The Reformer is- itv the hands of Messrs, Ross' and MacKay' who intend; to the best of 'their ability, to run the paper in the interests of Oshawa and vicinity.' They 'believe that the day is past when: newspapers. sheuld blindly praise all one political party'doés and condemn all that another does or tries to do. 'In announcing - an independent attitude The Reformer does not 'wish 'to comvey the impression that it: 'will be eolorless 'or spineless; adopting an attitude that is "neither hot nor celd."" It wilt praise: where it 'deems praise to be merited and con: demn where, in its Jedgmen, there is room for con- demmnation, cv: tt 1 In its. criticisms The Reformer will aim tp be: constructive not destruetive, to build up not to' tear down; to help not to hinder. It can best do this-by adopting an independent. attitude - towards alt parties; The' Reformer will be run as a newspaper not as an organ. on . AUTOMOTIVE EXPANSION Statisties' recently made public in the United States 'und Canada relating to the development of the automotive industry, previde much food for thought for those whose 'interests are more or less closely allied with this enterprise, as is the case with the people of Oshawa, Mr. BR. 8. MeLaughlin told the Canadian Nation- al' Bxhibition diréetors' luncheon last week that there: are now: 500,000 motor ears in Canada, He predicted 'that this number would be doubled: or trebled 'within the next few years. United States statisties' seem to substantiate the prediction that the number of cars already in use will be greatly increased: in a short time, According. - tothe * statistics published by the National Automebile Chamber of Commerce, the | output of aufomobile vehicles in the United States: in June exceeded all 'previous monthly records in the history of the industry across the line. This June production, - as reported by ninety concerns manufacturing passenger cars and eighty eoneerns manufacturing trucks, - was 287,875 automobile vehicles of all kinds (not including motor cyeles); of which 261,963 were passenger cars and 25,912 were motor trucks. These figures show an increase of 32,348 vehieles, or 12 per cent over the produe- tion in : May--namely, 255,527 - vehicles, of 'whieh 231,724 were passenger ears and 23,803 were motor trucks --which was the largest on record for a single month 'up to that time. Coupled with 'the record-breaking produetion in. June 'of 288,000 vehieles, which was 61 per cent over June, 1921, there came an increasing demand from abroad. - The U. 8. Government figures for May 'show 'that 6,798 ears wére exported, or 6 per ., cent inerease over April. Total motor exports, in- cluding 'trucks, were more than three times those of May, 1921. These ears or trucks were shipped to sixty or seventy eountries. 'These statistics are of: particular interest to Osh- awe people; beeause they show a development of thie industry whieh must be reflected on the General Motors Sos puraion here. That this i in. ivaly be- as th' the det demand for cars. \ i tes Meaarior cae, 3 ar} General Motors in Oshawa, local people will mote with more than usual interest the increasing foreign demand for cars from: this continent. "This faet: has farther significance for Oshawa' people when it is kmown that Canada exports more motor vehicles thas asy thet 'country in' the world, with 'thie 'ex: ception of the Uhibted States, and that the Industrial' Digest; of New York; recently predicted that Can:{ ada willl evefitiuiilly eclipse the United States in this.

The women voted /'dvy" to a greater extent than the men, the latter being divided about 50-50 on the question, The American Bar Association recently passed a resolution recommending that the sale of the re- volver be "prohibited. The 'Association 'point out that there were 85,000 "unlawful homicides" in the United States inthe past ten years of which 90 per cent. were committed by pistols, Last year there were 9,500 murders in the U.S, The law regarding the easy handling of revolvers in this country might also be tightened, {.

Not that it loves Mr. Morrison--oh! no--but that it is determined upon defeating Mr; Drury because of his' refusal to endorse the Hydro.radial program. The 'Liberal convention at. Toronte last winter took practically the same stand as Mr. Drury in Hydro matters, The Globe might join the Conservatives, but it doesn't like Mr: Ferguson. The only thing left for it to do, so far as we can see, is to start another new party, with Sir Adam Beck as leader, and The Toronto o Yelevans as its bedfellow.

Hope Man Held--Osh- awa Men Furnish Information rave police assisted in bring- some. ¢hicken' thieves to justice, his week, following a number of bar, from the Oldham farm owned by, L. N, Clark, near Port Hope, Mr, Clatk's farm has been a favorite spot for the thieves to carry on their operations, and: since July 1st, 351 ickens have been stolen, Just -- a week ago the last raid was made and Mr, Clark decided to take steps to round up the guilty ones if possible. First he applied for per- mission for himself and two foremen to carry firearms and this was read- fly granted by Magistrate Campbell. n he visited both express offices requesting 'the clerks to notify him of the shipment of any white leg- horns, Wednesday Mr. Clark had busi- ness. at the Canadian National Ex- press office and while he was stand- ing there two crates of this particu- lar variety of birds werg brought in' and placed on the scales. There ap- peared to be a considerable mix-up (as to who the actual shipper was, Two messages from two different per- sons to call for these crates had been received and the instructions were that they would be found on the premises of Mr. Asa Hansman, Further investigation, however, led to a visit by Chief Colwill and Mr. Clark .to, Mr. Stanley Bowen's resi- dence on Cavan street, Here Mr, Clark identified several of his birds from the punch in the web of the foot and, according to Mr. Clark's story, Bowen admitted that a num- her of the chickens in his possession had been taken from Oldham Farm. Bowen was immediately placed un- der arrest and remanded. All the ehiehgn at his place were transfer- to Chief Colwill's premises. he two erates of chickens at the express. office were addressed to Oshawa men and Chief of Police Friend was immediately notified. Inquiries by officers here involved tv men. named Stokes and Bowen information received from them pos 0 on in Chief of Police Colwill and Mr. Clark visiting Mr. Priar's residence in Port Hope. Mr. Clark identified several of his chickens at this place and the whole coop was transferred to Chief Colwill's prem- ises and Stanley Friar was placed un- der arrest, The, next trouble to contend with was to find accommodation for til the chickens, First one man would telephone to Mr. Clark that he had ten chickens which he hought from so-and-so, and he was of the opinion that they had been taken from Old- ham Farm, and he would be glad to return them. When Mr. Clark took stock he found that of the 351 chickens missing exactly 290 had been returned and the prospects are that there will be quite a number more come home to roost. The circle is widening all the time and when Chief Colwill finally pulls in his net, there promises to be quite a large catch. One young man whose name has been quite freely men- tioned in conmection with a number of sales of chickens has 'left Port Hope and a warrant for his arrest his "been-tssued. Port Hope Ladies Had a Thril- ling Experience Near Wel-- come in Early Morning There is one young lady motor- ist who exceeded the speed limit on the Provincial Highway last Satur- day night and if by chance the traffic cop should issue a summons we are willing to wager that Police Magistrate Campbell's verdict~would be "case dismissed," says The Port Hope Guide, About two o'clock last Saturday morning Miss Edna McMullen, Mrs, R. Ware, Mrs. Dr, Staples and Mrs. Dr. Wallace were returning from the Toronto Exhibition in Miss McMul- len's car, Mr. Nelson had accompan- ied the ladies as far east as Whitby but with the beautiful moonlight they had no fears of making the remainder of the journey unaccom- panied, Just after they turned at Welcome they noticed a Ford car on the side of the road and three men standing a short distance south, Even then the ladiés did not suspect trouble but it was not until they were only a few feet away that two men stepped to the centre of the road drew their guns and demanded the driver to stop. Instead Miss Mc- Mullen stepped on the gas and that big Cadillac shot down the Welcome road fully fifty miles per hour. This unexpected speed drove both hold up men to the ditch in order to save themselves and in another instant the big car was out of reach. The ladies reported the hold up to night constable Harvey and all returned immediately to the scene of trouble but no 'trace of the highwaymen could be found.
