THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 16, 1929 PAGE THREE i Thirteen Homes Are Isolated From City By Railway Tracks Restricted Citizen in Court] Faces Charge of Trespass ing on C.N.R. Property-- Citizens Are Compelled to Rise Hour Earlier in the Morning to Reach Work and Live Within the Law --Application for Cross. , ing Hangs Fire An echo of the old CN.R. erossing mncident wherein application was | made in 1925 for the establishmént of a crossing over the tracks at the Dxford stre® point, was heard in | tity police court this morning, Since | the original application was made | 10 the Railway Board at Ottawa by | the East Whitby Township Council, | the matter has cropped up several | times as residents on the other side f the tracks were hailed to court or trespassing on the C.N.R. prop- erty. 1he cause for a further revival of the matter, and for further efforts to be made on behalf of those resi- dents living over the tracks to se- sure the crossing, was the appear- ance in police court this morning of | Harry Makashuk, one of the re- stricted citizens. Short Cuts The contention of these citizens Js that they should be allowed to use the tracks as a short-cut to the main | artery of the city, Simcoe street, By so doing they cut off a long and te- dious roundabout way of reaching the same place. It generally takes, one . of the citizens remarked, a good half hour to make the trip, while the short cut across the tracks occupies | only a few minutes. One resident, Crown Attorney MeGibbon told, must t up an hour earlier in the morn- ing, leave his house at six o'clock in order 15 reach his work, simply by adhering to the letter of the law, and the order of the CN.R. and using the roundabout road. This road, it 1s generally hnown, is in a terrible con- dition and not fit 'or pedestrians. "Something like the trenches?" humorously questioned Mr, McGib- . LJ "Yes, like the trenches," answered Dr. Thonne, who appeared in the interests ofthe Ukrainian residents attending his church, No Redress Dr. Thonne wondered if permis- sion might net be granted to those over the tracks to use the short cut until further information could be obtained fromy/ the Railway Board and the govfrnment, both of which bave again been approached in the matter. Magistrate Hind said there was only one statement to be made in regard to the problem. His hands were tied. It was the duty of the city constables, and those of the C.N.R. and CP.R. to carry out the law as it exists, prosecuting all those who trespass on the property. Chief of Police Owen D. Friend d that he would see that the w was observed, and pointed out the fact that J. R. Booth, CN.R. de- tective, who prosecuted the case, was instructed to rigidly enforce existing regulations respecting the property in question, Action Delayed Louis Hyman, counsel for the de- fense, stated to the magistrate that he had 'made application to the Rail- way Board at Ottawa some time ago, In answer he received communication stating that the application would have to come through the channel of the Township council. Aiter re- lating the incident to the Township council, Mr. Hyman was informed by that body that it had communica- ted with the Board, and was waiting definite results. The issue respecting 2 Gentlemen Want Warm, Com- fortably Furnished Rooms suitable for study and bed- room. Apply Box "D" Osh- awa Daily Times. a crossing at this point, turned down once by the Board, is now applied for a second time, Mr. Hyman has not committed himself on the result. Two prominent municipal officials of the community, which in this case includes the Township, have stated their intention to Dr, Thonne and Mr, Hyman to look further into the matter, and get some action if such is to be obtained, They are Dr. Kai- ser and John Ross, Township reeve. Private Road The original sub-division was Op- ened by Enoch Thompson, who own- ed the property, ten years ago, After laying it out in subdivisions, which were connected to Oshawa only by this round-about street. Mr, Thomp- son offered the land for sale, at the same time issuing a circular which stated that application had been made for the right of way over the tracks. The crossing never was obtained, At the present time only one right of way exists in the neighborhood, which is the privilege of a Mr, Wil- kinson and is strictly private, Fence Is Cut Complaints have reached the police department of this city from Mr, Booth, C.N.R, detective that someone who has been trespassing at this point has been in the habit of cutting the wire fence to enable freer access to the C.N.R. property, As quickly &s it was mended it would again be cut, This occurred three times, the detective stated. Although all those connected with the case this morning were in favor of a crossing as the means towards a justifiable end, they were of the opinion that no trespassing should be allowed until word is received from the Railway Board. Thirteen Homes Isolated At the present time there are thir- teen homes in the district remote from the city on the other side of the tracks, with a population of 50 persons, Originally there were nine homes, At the time the Railway Board re- fused the crossing, which happened in 1925, one recommendation was made which was considered wholly inadequate; that a footbridge be erected over and above the tracks to allow citizens living remote from the city to pass the tracks in safety and without committing the offence of trespassing on the railway prop- erty. The case was adjourned February 18.

Greenwood Hill -- Heart Attack Probable Word has reached here of the death by accident of Caleb Roach, aged 62, of Agincourt, who was killed on Monday night about 7 o'clock, when he fell under a Ford truck which had stalled on the Greenwood Hill, near Pickering. Although the right front wheel of the truck was practically on top of his body, it was thought by Cor- oner Cartwright of Pickering, that Roach had died from heart disease Just previous to the accident. Roach was in company with R. G. Gorrell, a near relative, and was in the course of moving from his former home, half a mile north of Agincourt, to his old homestead, 2 miles east of Blackwater. The two had carried on a market gardening business which had not yielded the best results and were intending to start up again at the homestead of Mr. Roach. As the truck approached the top of the hill, Roach and Gorrell realized by the sound of the engine that they were practically out of gas, and they dccided to back up the hill thus utilizing the remaining {gas to advantage and being in a position to coast down the oppo- site side of the hill, nearer to a ~asoline station. Gorrell, who was at the wheel, backed the car down the hill, while Roach stood on the runming board and directed him. When about half way up the hill again, the left front wheel of the car struck a stone and the car stalled. When he ~ould get mo amswer from Roach, "orrell looked outside and saw Noach'® feet. He immediately jumped to the imjured man's as- sistance, and found the wheel of the car resting against Reach's | stomach. Roach had died before his benefactor could zeach him. County Constable J. Potter was ' summoned. A post mortem on the body of Toach was conducted yesterday af- "ternoon at 4.30 o'clock, but as yet no information has been divulged as to the finding.

FLU EPIDEMIC WANES The influenza epidemic in Osh- awa is on the down grade, and Is disappearing almost as fast as it came upon the eity before Christ- mas, Dr, T. W. G. McKay, medical officer .of health told The Times this morning. Oshawa has had its share of the flu epidemic that has swept over the country, said Dr. McKay, but the cases were mostly of a moderate type with mild cases predominating. This city has far- ed lighter than many other On- tario municipalities in cases of complications, sueh as pneumonia, and deaths here have been few, Dr. McKay said. : SOCCER MEETING A genéral meeting of the G.M, C, football club will be held in 'the lunchroom at the G.M.C, plant tomorrrow, Business is of a na- ture which will prove interesting to everyone connected with the soccer game. DIED IN ENGLAND The death took place in England recently of Arthur Lewis, for many years a resident of Oshawa, Mr, Lewis left this city for his home in England about four years ago. His wife, Mrs, Annie Lewis, prede- ceaséd him four years ago. Sur- viving are three sons, Arthur, Alex and Roy, and one daughter, Flor- ence, and two brothers, 'and four sisters, living in England with the exception of one sister, Mrs, T, EB, Holmes, of Oshawa. Mr, Lewis was in his 47th year, FIRE AT ARMORIES Seventy-five dollars' damage re- sulted last night from the effects of a fire which got a good start in the Armories under the stairway. Luckily the fire departmemnt had only a short way to go in order to combat the blaze, Prompt action probably saved a conflagration as flames had got a firm hold upon the partitions under the stairway, Spontaneous combustion was blam- ed as the cause of the blaze, Cheniieals were used to extinguish the flames although one line of hose wag laid as a precautionary meas» ure, No insurance was carried, SEEKING BERT BROWNING Bert Browning, aged 18, who disappeared from his home on the Middle Road, Port Credit, last March, has not been seen or heard of since, At the present time, his mother is ip such a state of health that every effort is being made to secure information as to the lad's whereabouts, so that communica- tion may be established with his parents, Browning is almost six fcet in height, has brown eyes, is of slight build, has dark brown hair, which is usually kept in "bfush style" and wovld pass for a young man of about 22. Anyone who has met the boy since he has disappeared. or knows where he is now located, is asked to write or wire to this paper cr C. H.

Reaches 4.364 Volumes-- Membership In Library Is 78 Per C:-nt. of Total Student Enrolment At Collegiate According to data released by Mr Siyfield yesterday the Oshawa Col- legiate Imstitute Library has just completed the best term in i's his- tory. When it is rememberad that the school library was not organiz- ed till September 1927, the accom- plishments of this deparimont of the scheol have been little 'short of phenomenal. the fall of 1928 numbered 4364.

Study of the above figures shows that non-fiction circulated through the school library equalled 46 per cent of the total eircula- tion. In the awerage public library it amounts to approximately 11 per cent. In addition to the usual circu- lation of books and periodicals, 50 pamphlets, 85 clippings, and mounted pictures have also been borrowed. Thousands of questions were answered and an equal num- ber of reference requests taken care of. Six hundred and forty two stu- dents took out borrowers cards during the first term and are active users of the library at the present time. on ul Many New Books Added Since September 1, 147 books have been added to the library, bringinz the present total of books up to 2149.

Oshawa Collegiate is unique in furnishing its students with a course in the use of books and Jib- raries. The work in library meth- ods extends over four years. Time spent in the library is divided among reading, study, and instrue- ticn. Every one of the twenty-four forms gets at least one library per- fod a week. In the past four montis the librarian has taught 165 les- sons on such subjects as school library regulations, valué and use of libraries, the school library, the publie library, the aim of library instruction, the physical make-up cf a book, eare of books, the ar- rangement of books in a library (Dewey System, etc.), reference books, the card catalogue, how to take notes, how to study. books on the supplementary reading list. Il- lustrated lectures om Napoleon, The Empire, The Bourbon Dynasty, and Canada from 1812 to 1840 have been given in conjumction with courses in Modern and Cana- dian History. Mr. Siyfield has also delivered many talks before home and school clubs and parent-teacher tension. Several of these talks have led to the establishment of class- room book collections in the ele- mentary schools. Nor has the lib- rarian been content with working locally. He has investigated the lib- rary resources and service of mearly one hundred secondary schools in Ontario. Through guestiomaires, he has gathered a wealth of mater- ial soon to be published under the title, "A survey of Collegiate, High and Technical School Libraries in Ontario." A recent addition of "The Globe™ carried the following in its educa- tional column.-- "There may be a few other schools (besides Oshawa) in Canada which have some vision of what a school library may mean, but there are very few. May their tribe increase". Mr. Siyfield's study of school libraries reveals the fact that there is only one other col- legiate institute ia Ontario which has a full-time librarian.

To function efficiently a school library needs an appropria- ticn of one dollar for every pupil enrolled, and certainly not less than fifty cents per student. The students in Oshawa Colleg- iate cannot complain of a shortage (of reading matter, other than books. The following newspapers 2nd magazines are always available in the reading room.--Punch, Sphere, Atlantic Monthly, National | Geographic, Bird-Lore, Canadian Magazine, Saturday Free Press, Sunday Vancouver Province, Satur- day Halifax Chronicle, Mentor, Lit- erary Digest, Saturday Night, Lon- doz Times Weekly, St. Niiholas, Na- ture Magazine, My Magazine, La France and L'echo de France, Rod and Gun, Human Pleader, Canadian Field Naturalist, Family Herald, World Wide, Popular Science Monthly, The Globe, New York Times, Maclean's Magazine, The Canadian Red Cross Jumior.

The extent to which the students make use of the periodical liter2- ture is gratifying. While the god derived from this activity is mot easily measured, it cannot but have a marked effect upon the lives of the students. The work of keeping the reading room in order, attend- ing to incoming and outgoing mali, waiting at desk, looking after re- ference meeds, and giving syvstem- atic instruction wmell-nigh fills the librarian's day, but' amidst it all the proper tastes im literature and bringing books to bear has mever been lost sight of.

"I have read with much interest your editorial in today's issue in which you suggest that one of the City Public Schools be named the "E. W. Drew School", Since his re- tirement Mr. Drew has been spoken of as the "Father of the Board of Education", but he has during his many years service, been much more than that. The teaching gtaff and school officials bave always considered him to be one of their best friends and he has, on many occasions, shown that friendship in a very practical way. : inspector of Ontario, Children's Friend "He has been the school child- ren's good friend for there has been given to the children of Osh- awa, during his term of offjce, a series of school buildings unsur- passed by any other city in the province.

It would be a real amd fitting tribute to the man who has given £0 geaerously of his valuable time and good judgment during his many years of service if one of the best schools in the city were to be named "The E.

The pictures were made at the Oshawa plant, being finished last Saturday, and will be shown from coast to coast at subsequent displays of the new Pontiac, Advance Showing E. R., Birchard, sales manager for the Pontiac, welcomed the peo- ple in a brief address, General Mo- tors of Canada, he said, realized that residents of this city were es- pecially interested whenever Gen- eral Motors announced a new mod- el, and that the practice was be- ing established to give Oshawa res- idents an advance showing of the models when they were brought' out. Interest should he especially keen in the Pontiac, on account of its volume of production and the importance that it has for a large number of peope in the city, said Mr, Birchard, During the evenipg, music was furrished by Bill Hurst and his orchestra, The lighting effects which have heen installed in the auditorium, and the rotary stage, allowing the people to see the cars from every angle added material- ly to the effectiveness of the dis- play. Dealers' Convention This public showing was held in connection with the dealers' and factory representatives' conven- tion being held yesterday and to- day. + Yesterday, factory represen- tatives of the Pontiac Motor Car Co., from Vancouver to Halifax, gathered in their annual assembly, while today nearly 400 Pontiac dealers of Eastern Canada met to discuss the season's business and plans for 1929, The new Big Six Pontiac was presented t othem.dur- ing the day. Across Continent Executives of the Pontiac divi- sion of General Motors are arrabng- ing to have this display of the new Pontiac caggied across Canada, and, it will be conducted in connnection with dealers' conventions in the Maritimes, and at Winnipeg, Cal- gary, Regina and Vancouver, A complete line of the new Pontiac, together with a eunt-away chassis showing the working parts, will 'also be on display at the Montreal Motor Show which opens Saturday. Quantity Production It was stated yesterday by W. E. | Davis, assistant general-manager of General Motors of Canada, in charge of operations, that quantity production of the new Pontiae will commence at the local plants io about a week, as soon as sufficient materials have arrived at the plant to start the line. A few cars have already been made individually for show purposes, but materials have not yet arrived in syfficiert quan- tities to start the assembly line, he said. Card of Thanks Mr. and Mrs, T.
