{ ', THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1929 PAGE THREE h Establi Y ACUTE Oshawa's Contributions Pass $650 Mark, But There is Still Much to Be Done for the Distressed Miners . i Oshawa's fund for the relief of the distress among the British Min- ers is slowly growing, It has pass- ed the $650 mark today, as contri- butions are once more coming in, Over the last two week-ends, the Oshawa fund has shown consider- able increase. Three of the musi- organizations of the city assist- materially in this, "by: holding sacred concerts and turning the contributions over to the fund, and it. is hoped that this week-end will also show a boost to the fund, In- dividual contributions have been coming in. fairly steadily, although y. Other organizations of this city which might aid in some way to boost Oshawa's total contribution to the fund. are urged to make their efforts count as soon as possible, for each day of delay adds to the suffering of the people in the min- ing areas of England and Wales. Many business firms, both in Osh- awa and in other cities, have assist- ed materially by taking a collec- tion for this worthy cause in office and shop, and it is suggested that the Oshawa fund could be swellcd considgrably 'if this was done by in- terested persons in this city, Individuals. who have not yet seen their way clear to make a con- tribution to the Oshawa Miners' Fund, might well spend minutes during their Sunday meditation, to reflect on the necd that is apparent over there, Without food and fuel, the families of thousands of miners are suffering from hunger and fll- ness, when the gemerosity of Cana- diang could relieve in a great meas- ure the acuteness of the need. The British Governmr nt is adding $1 to every $1 for the relief of the min- ers--and when governments do this, there must be real necessity for it. This means, too, that the larger a contribution is here, by far the larger good it can do in Wales, Today's contributions were: Already acknowledged $643.16 Mrs, 8, Emcley 00 R.

A spirit of the utmost good fellowship prevailed, and the affair had all the elements of a real get- together occasion, in which young and old, men and women alike join- ed with the greatest of enjoyment. A feature of the evening was a brief address by Lieut.-Col. F. Chap- poll, assistant manager of the ~ divis- ¢Col. Chappell, in addressing the gathering, expressed his sincere plea- sure with the wuccess of the social ening, saying he was delighted th the splendid spirit which seem- ed to exist in the departments re- presented. + The early part of the evening was given over to a splendid - concert program, in which many talented ar- tists took part. Piano solos and duets were played by Miss R. Hodgkinson, Miss Dorothy Local, Miss Bessie Wat- son, J. B. Doherty and M. Gould- burn. An excellent piano and violin duet w as played by Miss Irene and Master A. Weeks. The vocal solo- were - Miss W. Crowthers, W. rnett and George Walsh, while , and Mrs, George Walsh sang fh a very acceptable manner two duet numbers. A 'cello solo by W. Burnett, and entertaining numbers fn a lighter vain by Tommy Cruse and Roy Hamilton, completed a well- balanced and excellent program, pre- sided over by H, Edmondson. 7 After the program ample and dain- ty refreshments were served, and the remainder of the evening was en- Joyably spent in dancing. All those How Best to Use Vicks VapoRub After the Flu| Late Winter Colds Are Doubly Dangerous this Year; Don't Let them get a Start. AVOID PNEUMONIA OR A SE- ,, COND ATTACH OF FLU 'Jf you catch a fresh cold, don't keep it overnight. If possible, go home and go to bed. Take a laxa- tive and a hot lemonade, apply hot wet towels over throat and chest until the skin-is thoroughly redden- . Then rub vigorously with Vicks on thickly and cover with warm flannel. Leave the bed-covering loose, so that the vapors, released by the body-warm h, may be freely inhaled. At the same time, Vicks acts through the skin like a poul- tice. Repeat this treatment every four hours, eat lightly, and stay fn bed until the cold is broken. Complete rest helps the body throw off the cold more quickly, Mothers especially appreciate Vicks for the children. As fit is applied externally, it can be used freely and oftcn. without upset- ting delicate digestions, as too present declared the social evening a success in every way, and many were heard to express the wish that another might soon be held, CPTPIPIPI CVPTPTVIPTITTPP : WEATHERMAN SPPPPPPEPRERS SH SS A little fly flew thru the flue Where all the family had the flu, The fly flew thru the fluey air And took-a chew from each one there, All had the flu. He caught it too From Uncle Tru, Aunt Lou and Sue And once again flew thru the flue To pass it on, as all flies do. * Last night over our trusty radio, we heard one of the "progressive" radio stations of the U.S.A. broad- casting a mournful plaint, "Where do the Flies go in the Winter Time." (By-the way, we thought, and hoped, that that song had died a violent death long ago). But, this morning in one our our contemporaries, along comes this answer, Talking about the flu, someone starter a rumor in local financial cir- cles yesterday that the New York Stock Exchange was closed up on account of a fiu epidemic. George Washington must have turned over in his grave, to have sacriligious rumors like that circulated on his birthday! . Love, according to a United States journal, is a quest, and marriage 2a conquést, that divorce is an inquest. And per- haps we may add that the alimony is a bequest.

The Ohio State Journal remarks that it's certainly a wonderful relief to be living in a world that is ab- solutely pledged to not resort to war unless it feels like it. But, since the subject of this column is supposed to have some- thing at least to do with the weather, we suppose we had better "feel like" getting back to the subject, and in- form you that there seems to be a prospect that the thermometer may show a little milder turn over the week-end, with moderate winds, Good afternoon, PLAY PRESENTED BY THE DRANTI CLUB OF HARMONY Successful Presentation in South Simcoe School Last Night The play "Headstrong Joan", given last evening in the auditorium of South Simcoe School by the Har- mony Dramatic Club, under the aus- pices of the South Simcoe Home and School Association, was a great success.

In spite of this, brecause of the great increase in the number, of books circulated each day, there are many vacant spaces on the shelves, If the patrons of the library would return their books promptly a greater var- fety would be available for all, say» Miss D, Cutler, librarian. "Harness" by A. Hamilton Gibbs is a very readable novel of post- war days, Home from the war, disil- lusioned, ready to settle down as a writer in a little village close to London and take care of his wife, Michael Gordon soon discovers that the things he wants most---quiet and contentment--are hard to at- tain, In time, however, after var- fous domestic difficulties, the tronules are satisfactorily adjust- ed, A well written and interesting book in Storm Jameson's 'Farewell to Youth," The brought about by an unhappy mar- riage leave young Nat Grimshaw stunned and depairing and prema- turcly old, While his ruthless wife seeks happiness with another man, he withers away in seclusion, only to be saved from utter pessimism by his "cousin by marriage," whom he afterwards marries, Pioneer Struggle Ohio in Revolutionary days pro- vides the ba"k-round for a well constructed historical novel '"'Shad- ow of the Long Knives' by Thomas 1 Boyd. It pictures the pioneer's struggle to gain a foothold in a new environm-nt, menaced on all sides by 2 conflict between British, Am- ericans, and Indians for possession of the soil. It is seen through the eyes of Anvus McDermott, Indian srout for the Britich, His love for Charity, a girl he rescues from the Indians, relieves somewhat the dark pages of Indian torture. Life in a small Biscayan mining village is pictured with brilliant though bitter realism in "The In- truler" by Vincent Blasco Ibanez, With the advent of great wealth in newly discovered gold mines, the village becomes the battlefield for its control and the contest is waeced between the rriing Jesuits and the anti-Clericals. The story is drama- tie, full of color, and the onnr-ssion and poverty of the miners are drawn in great detail. A Medieval Story "The Snake Pit' by Sigrid Und- set is a story of mediaeval times. It is. the story of Olay Audunsson in the days when he brought his wife Insunn, back to Hestviken. There they try pathetically to re- capture the first, fine frenzy of th ir youthful love and to expitiate the mortal sins into which they have fallen, On Olav especizlly falls the burden of his unrequited, un- confessed murder of Teit, but his r-al problem lies between him and his God. Even after Ingunn's death, that problem has still to be resol- ved. Other New Fiction Other mew fiction received fin- clud-s: "The Crippled Lady of Per- fbonka" by James O. Curwood; "Swag" by C. F.

A, Beck fs a popu'ar exposition which interprets the many complexities of Eastern ph'l- osophy for the Western reader. The lives of Buddha and Confucius oc- cupy a large part of the book and are well done. The author writes from the point of view of .a sincere student of Oriental philosophy. The of the Gypsies - A history of th- gypsies through- out the world is colored by the ro- mantic delight the author has in these people in "The Story of the Gypsies" by Konrad Bercovicl. In his account of character, customs, and philosophy, he draws freely up- on personal experiences. He speaks their languare, and has lived their life. The book opens with a chapter on the disputed origin of gypsies, then traces their history from their first appearanec in Germany in 1417, through numerous migrations to various countrics which have re- sulted in their permeation of the civilized world. In "Tamerlan, the Earth Shaker" by Harold Lamb, the author recon- structs the terrifying figure of the Asiatic conquerer, against a barbaric background of Oriental splendor in the fourteenth century. He conquerred half the world. and although his memory in European history fs associated with towers of heads of slain en- emies, is shown here as able, brave, 4nd generous, as well as am- bitious, eruel and oppressive, Prohibition or "Prohibition or Control" by E. R. Hose is Canada's ex with the liquor robles, The author attempts "to record concisely. the method adopted in Capada for eon- trolling the liguor traffic." He out- lines the power, function, and du- ties of the commissions of control and shows how these commis~ions have. solved the of loeal option, retail liquor selling, licens- ing, breweries, enforcement, taxa- LOCAL FIRM ASSIGNS It is officially announced that R.

CHINESE WARLORD SUSTAINS DEFEAT (Contiraei trom Page 1) alist China struck hard at the first r.volt of consequence against its authority, officers returning here today from yesterday's battle with the forces of Chang-Tsung-Chang, former Shantung war lord revealed. The victory app.ared to have been | much more complete than was at first indicated. General Liu Chen-Nien, Nation- alist commander, returning to Che- foo today said a large party of re- volters were surrounded at Kusi'n, 25 miles west of Chefoo, Another large party retreating toward Teng- chow has been surround:d and is expected to surrender momentarily. The Nationalist commander said it had been established reliably that General Chang-Tsuhg-Chaug was directing personally the move- ments of the revolting Nationalist soldiers, although his exact loca- tion in the area affected by the fighting was not known. A Rus- sian géh ral, Nachaeff, who com- manded his armored trains when Chang was war lord of Shantung, is assistinz him, A consigerable quantity of am- munition and arms was taken by the Nationalists in the battle yes- terday. This was augmented today with the arrival of 200,000 rounds of ammunition on the Nationalist gunboat Chuyu, which also brought $50,000 (Mexican) for the use of thetroops. The battle, although firing was heard here only Friday, lasted two days, and apparently has dealt a telling blow att he incipient revolt by which Chang Tsung-Chang hop- ed to regain his former overlord- ship of Shantung. ROTARY MOVEMENT IS CELEBRATING ITS ANNIVERSARY Continued from page 1) meet other men on the basis of friendship, high ethical principles, and international goodwill. The id.a of the service club today is universal. Underlying the rapid extension of the Rotary movement has been the fact that there is no dead tim- bir in Rotary membership; men must attend and participate or make room for others more active. The discussion of polities is taboo, and men of all nationalities and creeds are brought together on the simple platform of fellowship and service, It is a cardinal principle of Ro- tary that a member should join not for what he can get out of it, but for what he can give, as expressed in the motto, "Service Above Self." Civie, philanthropic and humani- tarian activities form a part of the program of Rotary clubs the world over. . At the banquet to Manitoba live- stock men by the provincial govern- ment, held at Brandon recently, it was revealed that in four years Manitoba livestock had taken 300 prizes, with 96 firsts, at the nation- al winter fair at Toronto.

THONNE TELLS OF WORK IN OSHAWA AMONG FOREIGNERS 68 MEN SEEK TO BE. . COME CANADIAN CITIZENS Night School Work Among People of Nineteen |, Nationalities . Sidelights on an effective work that is being done among the foreign pop- ulation of Oshawa, were thrown by Rev. Dr, Thonne, pastor of the Uni- ted Church Foreign Mission on Al- bert street, in a talk to the Kiwanis club at its weekly luncheon yester- ay. As part of the activities of the mis- sion, Dr, Thonne, said, a night school had heen established three months ago, and now there were 108 stu- dents, of 19 nationalities, who arc studying the English language as well as useful arts, As a result of the work, Dr, Thonne said that he had had 68 men in the three months make inquiries as to how they might be- come naturalized Canadian citizens, During this winter, many of the men of that district had been with- out work, said Dr, Thonne, and some of them had been receiving relief from the city, What they . needed most, however, was not relief, but work, for a dole only made them lazy he said. He made a plea for the Canadian people to endeavor to be friendly with these people from the old lands of Europe, and said that they invariably were deeply appre- ciative of anything that was done for them, : The Kiwanis meeting was presided over by A. J. Parkhill, president of the club, and during the business ses- sion arrangements were completed for the lecture to be given on submarine warfare by Rear Admiral Gordon Campbell "in the Collegiates Tuesday night. The ticket sellers reported that the sale of tickets was proceeding well, and that the lecture promised to be a popular one here as it has been in other cities. B OBITUARY | DEATH OF MRS. C.

POLICE GRANT REOUEST AND LOCK MAN UP Foreigner Demands Protec- tion in Local Bastile-- Pays Fine Police at one o'clock this morning were faced with a situation such as seldom comes before their notice, Generally, those whose actions insti- gate police interference are hostile to being locked up in the local station, but this morning Desk Officer Ser- geant Ed. Stauffer got a telephone call requesting a constable to come and oblige a gentleman by placing him in a "single" cell. Nonplussed at the peculiar request Sergeant Stauffer took the police cai and when he arrived at his destina- tion found it was the home of the Court Interpreter, William Igel. Mr. Igel, whose work at police court has to do with many types of foreigners, was awakened he says, about one o'clock by someone whose actions verified the supposition that he was intoxicated. The man de- manded police protection and shel- ter for the night, Mr. Igel was not in a position to furnish this person- ally, so he called the station, and in the eid Harry Chorney, of Toronto, was granted his wish. In police court: this morning, how- ever, Chorny pleaded not guilty to being intoxicated, but evidence pro- ved too strong against him and he was. fined the customary $20 and costs mth the alternative of 30 days in jail. It is estimated that there are about 350,000 radio sets in use in Canada, the majority of which are in the rural districts where recep- ton is always better than in the ur- ban areas.

B. HARKNESS TELLS ADVANTAGES Outlines Benefits of Trying Child Delinquents Under Juvenile Deliquency Act Rather Than Under the Criminal Code Impetus was given the movement to establish a juvenile court here, by a meeting last night in the city council chambers which was ad- dressed by Judge D, B, Harkness, educational se-retary of the Social Service Council of Ontario, Several local men also spoke, and it was evident that the city council and most of the men in touch with social work in the city were in favor of the establishment of a juvenile court. In his address, Judge Harkness pointed out that at the present time a children's court branch of the re- gular police court is being conduec- ted in Oshawa, Cases coming before this court must be conducted under the Criminal code, however, which often does not adapt itself particu- larly well to dealing with a juven- fle deliquent, Removes Criminal Taint Under the Juvenile Deliguency Act, when a juvenile court has been established, the judge is given wide powers in acting in the best inter- ests of the child rather than being bound by the technicalities of le- gal procedure, The child is tried not as a criminal under the code, but as a misguided and misdirected deliquent, without the taint of cri- minality, said Judge Harkness, Whereas the Criminal Code speci- fies a brief and definite remand, under the Juvenile Deliquency Act a child could be remanded indefin- tely, and thus no conviction would be registered against him unless he again appeared for a misdemeanor, The Act also provides that a proba- tion officer may be named for any child, and in a juvenile court evi- dence relating to the social condi- tion and environment of the child may be admitted, which would not perhaps be legal evidence under the Code, said the speaker. A point stressed by Judge Hark- ness was that a Juvenile court pro- vided machinery for handling cases of contributing to the deliquency of childr-n in which it was sometimes a'most impossible to register a con- viction under the provisions of the Code. It also provided .protective legislation to children that did not o~cur in the Criminal Code, In short it was the "child's Criminal Code," the speaker said, How Established A Juvenile Court was established in any area by brin~ing the provi- sions of the Juvenile Deliqueney Act into force by proclamation, The municipality, through its coun-il, informed the Provincial Attor.-Gen. that there was a strong body of opinion in favor of the establish- ment of a court; the attorney-gen- eral notifi-d the Minister of Justice to that effect. and the government {ssued an order-in-conncil proelaim- ing the act in force in the distri~t. The provineial attorney-general's department then appointed the jud~e and other officials, and set the court in operation. The sugg-s- tion of the community was general- ly, taken as to the appointment of the officials. Pr-reauisites to tne establishment of the court were a probation and detention service, but the superintendent of the Child- ren's Aid Society was in Ontario ex- officio a probation officer and the Children's Shelter might properly be used as a detention home, The cost of operation of the court was not great, and would probably amount to less than $500 per year outside of the salary paid to the jud<e of the court, Judge Harkness said. Crown Attorney J. A, MeGibbon. spoke briefly saying that he was doubtful of the advantages of a Ju- venile Court. There would be. a tendency to molly-coddle the child- ren too much, he said, and in his opinion the present system of a children's court was working out well. Most of the diffi~ulty was not with the children in any case, but with the parents. District Advantages Rev. Ernest Harston declared that where a Juvenile Court was set up, all of the activities of a child- ren's court could be carried on in a fimer and broader way. It had dis- tinct advantazes, and would mot in any way hamper proceeding with certain cases under the Criminal Code where it was seen advisable. D. A. J. Swanson strongly sup- ported the Juvenile Court, because he said. there was sufficient ju- venile delinquency here to justify its establishment, and it got rid of lawyers handling juvenile cases. It would not provide any molly-cod- /¥2g, but would provide sections under which megleetful parents could be checked up. and which were found no place else.Alderman Wm. Boddv was also an advocate of 2 juvenile eourt. Link Other Services In a brief address A. R. Alloway, who introduced the Juvenile Court 'dea in the city council last year, «aid that the 1928 council had been unanimously in favor of it. It would effectively link up and supplement the work of the Social Service De- Poartment, the Children's Ald Soe clety, 'and all other public welfare organizations. It was working out satisfactorily in many other cities and had been doing so far twenty years, and the court should be established in Oshawa, immediately he said, even though the County of Ontario did not see fit to fall in line with the movement at once. He sug- gested that someone not engaged in dealing with gerious crime be employed as the Juvemile Court Judge, because it might prove bet- ter in having a man dealing espec- ally with the children's cases, and besides in a growing city like Oshe awa the time of the police magis- trate or other officials was almost entirely taken up with police court work, A vote of thanks to Judge Hark- ness was moved by Alderman A, 8, McLeese and Medical Officer of Health, Dr, T. W, G. McKay. Mayor T. B. Mitchell was chairman of the meeting. KIWANIS CLUB GIVES $10 GOLD FOR BEST ESSAY Collegiate Students May Write on .

He was awarded the Victoria Cross, the Distinguished Service Order, the Croix de Guerre of France and was made an officer of the French Legion of Honor, The Q-boats were tramp steamers fitted up with hidden guns, that used to lure the submarines to what look- ed like easy prey, then sud@enly run up the British naval ensign, un- cover their guns and open fire on the submarine, It was extremely dangerous warfare, and many of the decoy ships were sunk, but they did most effective work in saving allied shipping, The lecture of Rear-Ad- miral Campbell, which is being given under the auspices of the Kiwanis Club, tells graphically the story of this chapter of the war, r _ CHICAGO GRAIN OPENING Chicago, Ill, Feb. 23.--(Open)--Wheat, Mar., 127; May 1.32 1-8; com Mar,, 95; May 99 1-8; oats, Mar, 50; May 52 WINNIPEG GRAIN Winnipeg, Man., Feb. 23.--( i - ces--Wheat: May 1-8¢c to 3-8¢c lower a 1B to 133 3-8, July, 1-8¢c to 1-2c lower at 135) t, 1-4c to 1-2c lower at 1331-2 Wi lower to unchanged st to 134 3.4; to 133 1.4, Oats--May, 61 1-8 to 61 CHICAGO GRAIN MARKETS Chicago, 11, Feb. 23.--Under general sell ing, wheat prices suffered an early setback today, largely in sympathy with the de. clines at Liverpool and Winnipeg when Am. erican markets were closed.
