i THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 3, 1929 PAGE THREE Council Refuses to Lift King St. E. Residential Restrictions Right of Way Offered by G.D. Conant For Bridge At Lakeview Gardens Give City 33 Foot Right-of-Way -- Council Takes Will Give CY Towards Extension of John Street--Dry Ask Wednesday Half Holiday Year Another Step Goods Clerks Round--Canadian Legion's Memorial Accepted WHAT THE CITY COUNCIL DID Refused to raise the residential restrictions on the north-west corner of King street and Wilson road, to allow for the erection of a gasoline ser- vice station. Referred back to the council in committee of the whole, a recommenda- tion of the special committee that a vote be taken at an early date on the purchase of the local electric and gas systems. Referred back a report of the city property committee, recommending that a by-law be submitted to the ratepayers for he erection of a fire and police building to cost $130,000 on Metcalf street, Referred back a finance committee report recommending that a Juvenile Court be established in the city. Adopted a report of City Engineer W. C. Smith on the extension of John street from Burk street to Nassau street, and decided to introduce an enabling by-law at the next council meeting. Received an offer of G. D. Conant of a 33-foot right-of-way to allow the placing of a footbridge over the creek to Lakeview Gardens. [HOPE FOR FLIERS The city council last night went another step towards extending John street from Burk street to Nassau street; received a report from the chairman of the Board of Works stating that G. D. Conant had offered a right of way 33 feet wide for the purpose of construct- ing a bridge to Lakeview Gardens; and decided to allow the Canadian Legion to. take care of the Garden of the Unforgotten this year, be- sides handling several other items of business. The council received a report from the City Engineer W. C. Smith stating that the cost of opening John ' street from Burk street to Nassau street would be slightly over $6,800. Half of this cost is to be borne by the city and half by the property owners of the vic- inity. Since John street was rec- ently opened, by expropriation pro- ceedings, across the creek between Centre and Nassau streets, and is now open from Park road to Burk street, this procedure will give a through street from Simcoe street to Park road, and will also give di- rect access to Centre school to children in the south-west ward. The engineer's report was adopted and an enabling bylaw will be pre- sented at the next council meeting. It was decided, on the recom- mendation of the city property com- mittee, to request the Water Com- mission to place a fire hydrant at Burk and Quebec streets, and to (Continued on page 2) VOTE AGAINST WAR CREDITS IS LABORS VIEW IN ENGLAND Independent Party Instruct ing Its M.P.'s in Drastic Action (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) London, Apr. 3.--The principal topic of political conversation in London today was a decision taken atthe annual conference of the In- dependent Labor Party at Carlisle instructing its members of parlia- ment to vote against all war cre- dits.

Phone 2700 Offéer to Care for War Sunshine Says "Spring's Here" A clear blue sky overhead, bright warm sunshine and a gentle breeze proclaimed today as the first real day of spring. The dawn was heralded by the merry singing of birds and as the populace of Oshawa awoke from slumber it was to find the outside world transformed. Few there were who did not feel a thrill as they surveyed the city, basking in the morn- ing sunshine. No wonder the feathered songsters warbled in light-hearted ecstacy and ex- pressed in no uncertain way that life was worth the living. IS DIMINISHING (Continuea from Page 1) was feared the rainstorms in which the plane had become lost forced it off its path, and that when Captain Kingsford-Smith dispatched his final message Sunday morning he may have been much further than he thought from Wyndham, Even the reference "100 miles from Wyndham" was vague enough and possibly far from sufficient. The immense area inland from Wyndham is practically unexplored--A wilder- ness of hills and rivers without any permanent beaten tracks and not the semblance of roadways. It is .one of the wildest territories in the world. The comment of royal airforce officials, "We don't know where to look," seemed even more grim as the search entered its third day, still going forward but with each step of its advance laden with dan- ger to the would be rescuers, planes, ziative runners and river boats them- selves. (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) London, April 3--A despatch from Sydney, N.S.\W.,, to The Evening News 'today stresses the mystery which shrouds the telegram received by Captain Charles Kingsford-Smith, before the departure of the "South- ern Cross," Saturday. From this telegram Kingsford- Smith assumed that his agent at Wyndham reported the weather was good 'and favorable for his flight. The aviator's brother at Sydney declared that he saw this telegram but did not notice the signature. On thé other hand, however, the postal department asserts that there is no record of such a message-- which Kingsford-Smith put in his pocket just before he took off. The genuine telegram from his Wyndham agent he failed to receive, it arriving just after he started. This telegram described the wea- ther as highly unfavorable and urg- ed postponement of the flight. It was impossible to recall the flyers by wireless aerial as the trailer was lost when the machine took off. Jury Empaneled Lindsay. -- Dr. W, G. Collison, coroner empaneled a jury yester- day morning at 10 o'clock to me quire into the death of the late Pearl Holmes wife of Mr. Hilliard Hickson, wh was shot by William Challis, as she lay sleeping on a lounge at her home about four miles south of here on Sunday last.

IL YOUNG AUSTRALIAN LEAGUE WILL VISIT OSHAWA APRIL 12 About 160 Boys of High School Age to Spend Half Day Here About 160 boys of the Young Australian Leagne will visit Osha- wa on Friday, April 12 and will spend the afternoon in this city. They will be entertained by Gen- eral Motors of Canada, Limited, and by the Rotary Club of Osha- wa during they stay in this city. The party will arrive at the Canadian National station av 1.30 o'clock from Ottawa, and will be taken at once to the General Mot- tors Auditorium, Mary street, Here a luncheon will be served to the boys, and it is expected that the executives of General Motors of Canada, a number of members ot the Rotary Club, and a number of boys from the Oshawa Collegiate will also be entertained at the lun- cheon. Following the lunch the boys will be shown through the local General Motors plants. The boys comprising the party are on an education tour of the United States and Canada, and are now in Montreal. They go to Ot- tawa tomorrow, and spend nine ronto for a 4 days' stay.

They will ship from Vancouver on the return voyage to Ausuraiia, their tour having started from San Francisco, California. Speaking to The Times about the visit of ths party to Oshawa, G. W, Hezzlewood who is in charge of the arrangements for the visit to Oshawa, said: "Oshawa fis fortu- nate in having this group of young Australians visit this city. They are stopping at only few of the Canadian cities, and Oshawa is the only city that is being visited be- tween Ottawa and Toronto, The boys apparently come from the better families of Australia, and are getting part of their education in travel, so that the publicity that Oshawa will receive back in Aus- tralia as a result of the visit will probably be of considerable value." The boys will all be attired in a distinctive uniform, and will have their own band. Arrangemeuws have not heen fully completed for the local reception of the party, but it is expected that, on the way up from the station, they will stop for a moment at the Garden of the Unforgotten. The luncheon will be sponsored jointly by General Moors of Canada and the Oshawa Rotary Club and it {is expected that an invitation will be issued to a number of Collegiate boys to attend the luncheon, so that they can meet in fellowship with these boys of' Australia. It is expected that announcement of further de- tails of the visit will be made at the Rotary Club meeting next Mon- day.

DECLYRES SHAW NOT HUNTED MAN Reeve W. H. Golding of Bothwell Says Public to : be Informed Shortly (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) London, Ont, April 3--The man whom provincial police at Barrie and Guelph and district are seek- ing and determined to "get" and generally supposed to be Orval haw, elusive and much wanted jail breaker, is not Orval Shaw, in the opinion of Reeve W. H. Golding, Bothwell, Ont., who recently public- ly proclaimed 'his friendship for Shaw. Within a few days, said Mr. Gold- ing, the public would be informed from Bothwell of facts concerning the identity of the hunted man and the whereabouts of Orval Shaw. hp lie Hespeler, Ont., April 3--This little town last night was the headquar- ters for the greatest force of police ever gathered here to hunt one man. Inspector Stringer, of the criminal investigation department: at Toronto Mayor Mitchell as a Good Churchman It was in the last, sleepy, _ dying moments of the council meeting, when all business had apparently been discussed. Mayor Mitchell was endeavor- ing to secure an adjournment. "Now, if any member of the congregation--" Butthe laughing "brethren" of the council had no further business, so the meeting ad- journed. 'Twas one of the absent- minded slips that show where a man's thoughts trend. Mayor Mitchell is apparently a good churchman! WAPLE GROVE YOUNG PFOPLE GIVE PLAY "Take My Advice" Was Well Presented Last Night Before a well-filled church the Young People's Society of Maple Grove presented the three-act comedy, "Take My Advice", last evening in King street United Church under the auspices of the group of the Ladies' Aid, under the convenorship of Mrs. H. M. Brooks and Mrs. E, Gibson. As far as could be ascertained this was the first time these young people have presented a play in the city and they will be well-received when they return again. Jimmy Samson, a young town- waker, was portrayed by Mr. Wil- lam Laird. The first act was laid in the office of the small news- paper of the village of Eureka, the Eureka News in the month of October. Jimmy Samson came to the lifeless town and decided to awaken it from its slumbers. John Wargrim, as enacted by Mr. Ted Foley, was a strong character in the plot. He controlled and domin- ated Eureka, and only when he becam eacquainted with Samson were his intentions of checking the progress of the town met with op- became acquainted with Samson and Wargrim clashed throughout the entire play. Mr. Jack Cator portrayed the small-town editor, Bob Mannion. A number of interesting charac- ters were introduced into the plot and each member of the cast en- acted her or his role in a com- mendable manner. Mr. Elgin Mun- day played the part of Jud Fenton, the type of character that has never made any progress and was willing to stay that way. Peggy Acton was a doubtful young char- acter who arrived in town three months previous to. the opening of the play. This role was taken by Miss Marjorie Stevens. Bob Mannion's sister, Virgy, worked in the office with him and a large portion of the. plot cen.red around Virgy, whose part was played by Miss Nellie Snowden. Miss Edna Swallow, who enzcted the role of Mts. Nelson Dodd, was the cause of no small amount of laughter, when she brought before the au- dience her portrayal of a society leader of the small town of Eureka, Marcia Wargrim, the daughter of John Wargrim, Eileen Hockin, and Trainer, Miss B. Souch, were the remaining characters. The see¢- ond act was divided into two scenes, the first. in the office of the paper in the morth of Novems- ber at 9.30 in the morning, and the second at 4 o'clock the same afternoon. . Act three took place the next morning, The inevitable victory of youth over age, and Jimmy Samson over John Margrim brought to a close an interesting play. Gratitude Shown In Letter From Mrs. Geo. Morrow Toronto, Apr. 3.--A woman's gratitude for the kindness and courage that probably saved her husband's life was expressed in a few simple phrases in a letter which Capt, W. Roy Maxwell, director of the provincial Air Service, receiv- ed yesterday from Mrs. George Morrow, wife of the Anglican Mis- sionary at Rupert House, : Capt. Maxwell, it will be recalls ed, flew a few weeks ago to dissant Moose Factory in the James Bay district to bring Rev, Mr. Morrow to Cochrane Hospital.

Consequently, the company which had been endeav- oring to obtain permission to erect a gasoline service station on this site will not be able to erect the station, there, This action was taken by the council despite a recommendaiion from the city property committee that a by-law be presented to raise the residential restrictions and permit a gasoline station to be erected on 'he corner. A strong delegation, backed by a petition signed by 37 ratepayers of tha vicinity, appeared before the council and asked that the by-law be left as it now is. Another peti~ tion, signed by four men, including the parties interested in the actual real estate deal, asked that the council allow the service station to be erected. W. H. Moyse, spokesman for the delegation ,said that it had gone too far when the residents had to appear before the council to petis tion against amendments to the bylaw "every time somebody wants to put through a real estate deal on King sireet east." He would not have built his house in that district had he known that this sit- uation would have developed. F. J. Lamble, Alex. Neilson and A. V.
