SEY Fie Fang THE.OSHAWA DAILY [IMES WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1929 PAGE NINE EA A Patronize the Home Merchants Who Are Building Oshawa Hero Awards Follow Four Years After River Tragedy Hope is not the only thing that ie oft-times deferred. Now and then recognition enters the same category. Four years and five months ago --August 27, 1924 -- one tragedy was averted, while another occur- red in the Miramichi river, near Chatham, New Brunswick, Roland M. Roberts gave his life in an heroic effort to rescue Wen- onah R. Shields fronr downing. He was not a strong swimmer, but when he saw the young woman in peril, disregarding his own safety, he plunged In to aid her, While Roberts' brave effort end- ed in his death, Miss Frances H. Ullock, of Chatham, had a more fortunate experience. She was but a slip of girl that August day in 1924, when she saw Roberts and Miss Shields struggling in the wa- ter. She sprang in and succeeding in rescuing Miss Shields, returned to the aid of Roberts but was too late. H. M. Boland, theg Nova Editor of the Montreal Star ing at Jacquet River that August. The heroism of Miss Ullock and of Roberts was brought to his atten- tion and he reported the facts to the Carnegie Hero Fund Commis: sion a few days afterwards, Last week, the Carnegie Commls- sion, having satisfied itself of all the details, decided to vote Roberts' widow benefits to the extent of $1,000, and Miss Ullock- $1,600 to be used in her education. Mr. Boland, who made the re- port lived more than two years after turning it in, but passed away two years too soon to see it acted on. Whether or not Roberts' widow and Miss Ullock are still living is a question for the Carnegie Com- mission to probe. If so, Miss Ulock's education was probably complete long since. ' BRITISH RYDER CUP TEAM FORMED AGAIN New York, N.Y., Feb, 6.--In the make-up of the 1929 British Ryder Cup teamr will be found only four of the professionals from the other side who lost to the American pros 9% to 2% at Worcester, Mass, in 1927, George Duncan, who will cap- tain the home team when the.in- ternational pros clash at Leeds. in April, Aubrey Boomer, Archie Compston and Charles Whitcombe are the survivors. Duncan. won the only singles mateh the British captured at Wor- cester, Joe Turnesa being his vie- tim and Charles Whitecombe got a draw with Gene Sarazen. Boom- er played great golf to lose to Johnny Farrell, Compston leads the British professionals for the time being, at least. In addition to the Dritish pros re-elected, the 1927 team included Ted Ray, who succeeded to the captaincy when sickness forced Abe Mitchell to remain at home; Arth- ur Havers, no longer available, Fred. Robson, Herbert Jolly and George Gadd. The 1927 team for the United States consisted of Walter Hagen, captain; Johnny Farrell, Leo Die- gel, Gene Sarazen, Al Watrous, Joe Turnesa, Bill Melhorn and John Golden. Al Espinosa was on the team, but did not get into the play, Hagen will captain the teamr again, thanks to a graceful ges- ture by Leo Diegel, the P.G.A. champion, and a majority of the team of two years ago will again a possible addition or two. A good ji. guess is that one of the members will be Horton Smith, the young Joplin pro, who has been making the going rough for his fellow pros across the continent during the winter season, As was the case in 1927, the team from the United States will be restricted to home-breds, golf professionals horn outside the United States not being eligibie. PREVENT FRAUD IN SALE ALBERTA COAL Toronto, Feb, 6.--Coal merchants transporting Alberta coal to On- tario will be compelled to state in their advertisements the d'strict or area in which the coal was pro- duced and the brand under which it is registered in Alberta, if the bill by which Premier G. H. Fer- guson proposes to prevent frand in the sale of coal becomes sta- tutory. The m:asure was given its second reading, when the Prenrier explained its purposes. Declaring that residents of On- tario at prcsent send a hundred million dollars into the United States for coal every year and that the province felt that much of th's could be spent in Canada, the Prep miler explained that the Govern- m:nt had been cooperating with the Alberta Government to bring about a stri-ter grading of the coal.

During the especially hectic days of 1925- 26 the streets of the city, the walls of Cardinal's Cathedral and even the Loop, Chicago's business cen- tre, were at tims converted into impromptu gun ranges. Though not more than a half dozen of the city's gang murders ever have been solved, there is an accepted lore which draws a thread of continuity through the hostili- ties, with few breaks. After 1926, according to police and informed persons, a better or- ganization of the whiskey and heer which recoznized each other's zones of trade and influ- and entered assassination and released the: gunman to other fields.

J. _ Strasshein, exchange inspector to Ontario, from South Africa, Coming as a stranger from a sis- ter Dominion, although more of an ambassador bearing a message of goodwill from a similar organiza- tion, Inspector Strasshein tells a few amusing stories of how the children of this province had re- ceived him and the various pronun- ciations they gave to his name, Beginning with the earliest | stages of education in his country, whin the settlers had a three-fold teacher, he traced its course up to the present high system of educa- tion whi'h they now enjoy. The three-fold tcacher was both spiri- tual adviser and doctor, as well as being able to read and spell, which were then the standards by which he receiv-d his standing. = Often they were disbanded soldiers. even runaway sailors.
