THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, APRIL 9, 1929 PAGE THREE Oshawa Ex-Service Men Celebrate Vimy Ridge Anniversary No Effort Being Spared By Searchersin Attempt To Find Missing Body Father and Relatives of Late Miss Helen Wright of Peterboro Work Cease- lessly in Effort to Find Clues to Whereabouts Body : SEARCHERS ARE - HANDICAPPED Mud and Broken Concrete at Bridge Considerably Hampers Operations -- Diver Begins Work of Exploring Bed of Creek No effort is being spared by fire- men, police, government employees or relatives of the deceased Miss Helen Wright in the continued search for her body which disappear- ed in the swirling waters of Har- mony Creek last Saturday morning just before daybreak. The father of Miss Wright, who has been wrought to distraction at the unfortunate oc- currence has been present at the scene of the accident a half mile west of Harmony and several Peter- 'boro men have been spending prac- tically all of their time in searching the debris at the bridge and in pa- trolling the shores of the stream in the hope of obtaining some avail- able clue which will lead to the re- covery of the young Peterboro girl. The searchers are considerably handicapped however in their opera- tions. Broken concrete, large slabs of pavement and tiling and a large mass of muddy loam now fill the + spot where before flowed a small stream, scarcely five or six feet deep, Although a government. employed diver of foreign birth yesterday made a thorough scrutiny of 'the floor of the creek, there was nothing to indicate the presence of the body. The search was carried further down stream where the body must cer- tainly have been carried since the heavy flowing waters would not have permitted it to lodge in any crevice of weed-bank to the. north of the highway. Every effort so far has proved fruitless. The only grim relic brought to light since the night of the storm was a silken scarf which was recovered a half mile south of the highway and half covered up by the mud and water. Since that time the flood has subsided and the wa- .ters have takén on " their peaceful aspect but the mystery of the where- abouts of the young woman's body has. not yet been cleared up. But the tireless searchers are con- tinuing their hunt. Every nook and cranny of the stream from the high- way to the lake is being prodded and the whole length of the stream is be- ing combed. Although police detec- tives spent all Saturday afternoon and Sunday punting about the marsh near the lake and stated that in their opinion the body could not have drifted down that far in so short a time, the searchers are again covering the ground with pike poles. Twinkling lights of the lanterns car- ried by the bands of searchers may be @hen as the little bands continue, away after dark, and the search is pursued. Constable George Terry, veteran of the local police force well remem- bers the occasions when two other fatal accidents occurred in the same vicinity. The bodies have never been recovered. This fact makes it im- erative that the recovery of the y of Miss Wright be found. 4 .. Yesterday afternoon found a new device at the scene of the accident to aid in the search. A diver Was engaged by the government to assist but as yet has uncovered no trace of the body. Workmen from the Ontario Department of Highways at the request of W. H. Bradburn, M.P.P. were at the bridge yester- day. Mr. Bradburn telephoned to R. M. Smith, deputy minister of the department urging him to obtain assistance as quickly as possible. The department minister, it is said, read- ily agreed to do all within his power to help and the workmen arrived yesterday. Futher requests for aid were successful and the diver was secured. 'During the first part of the week many charges of dynamite were ex- ploded in order to break up the re- gnaiiy E pieces > concrete, which made it impossible to ore the stream-bed "underneath. i was thought that possibly the body might have been caught by the fali- ing mass and pinned undérneath. Miss Wright's body may be any- where in the acres of mud and loam | which last Saturday morning was inundated by the deep floods. Mud and clay were washed from north of the highway to the expansive flat lands south of the road, and it is just possible that the body was caught in these flats. The work of storm and tide uight easily have completed the dread act of covering the body and making recovery practicably an impossibility. Tt has been decided that excavation of the many acres is useless. The work of the ' water dug out deep cavities in the banks of the stream and these 'perpetually caved in. If the body had have been caught under one of these, the opin- ion remains 'that recovery is im possible. 7 Today the search is being contin- ued and the tired, nerve-wrecked men have not even a thought of giv- ing up until the body is recovered. a ---- The best way to make sure that you lare going to enjoy a book is to read it.--Montreal Star.

DRAMATIZATION OF 'TALEOF TWO CITIEY AT ST. ANDREW'S Rev. Allworth Eardley of Ottawa Pleases Large Audience at Lecture A finished dramatic reader in every detail and possessing a voice rich in the qualities necessary for stage performance, Allworth Eard- ley, pastor of Dominion United Church, Ottawa last night present- ed Dickens' "Tale of Two ( 3 in splendid style at St. Andrew's United church hall. A large audi- ence was present to hear the cele- brated dramatic reader and every- one was amazed at the countless lines which Rev. Mr. Eardley re- membered and spoke in faultless mannner. Beginning at the first of the well-known book, probably Dick ens' best work, the lecturer gave a short 'synopsis of the historical connection of the story outlining as he went along the interesting fea- tures of the tale which it was impossible to put into direct narra tion. The feature of the whole lecture, which was divided into two dis tinct parts, was Mr. Eardley's dra matization of the character roles of the many different people who take such an important part in the story. Sydney. Carton, thé great hero of the story, will long be re- membered by Mr, Eardley"s splen did interpretation of this charac ter. Dr. Mannette, the beloved psysician, Charles Darnay, and even Lucy Mannette were portray ed in their correct types and lost none of their appeal whatever. That Mr. Eardley's control of his voice is something akin to super- human effort is a well-known fact, The deep bass drawl of Sidney Car- ton's lines and the shrill piping notes emitted by Miss Pross, the housekeeper were splendidly por trayed. An impressive silence came over his listeners as the dramatist gave the great scene in the hook, that of the few moments before Sydney Carton met death on the guillo- tine. His voice softened at this point as he gave the immortal lines "It is a far, far better thing which I do than I have ever done--it is a far, far Deer rest that I go to than I have eyer known". A vote of thanks was given to the lecturer-dramatist at the close by the minister Rev. F. J. Maxwell. During the evening Mrs. Creighton sang several numbers which were much appreciated. 100 GREAT NEEDS OF MAN ARE OUTLINED Piladelphia, Pa., April 9.--One hundred eminent men have sum- marized the world's intellectual needs. . This. summary was issued by the American Philosophical Society re- cently as part of the ideas express- ed in the first 100 letters received in reply to its recently inaugurated canvass to secure an "intellectual stock-taking" of the world. Dr. Harlow Shapley, director of Harvard College Observatory, wrote that genius is needed, and lacking that an "epidemic of broad intellectual sympathies." Dr. Alex= is Carrell, of the Rockefeller In- stitute. for Medical Research, wrote: "The world imperatively needs the advent of great intellectual leaders who know the require- ments of spiritual life as well as the sciences concerned with inant mate and living matter." Dr. James R. Angell, president of Yale University, wrote: 'Perhaps the most pressing intellectual need in the western world at least is re- presented by the acquirement of such poise as comes from a genu- ine co-ordination of the great sub- divisions of thought. These sub- divisions have become so highly specialized, so separatist and sO self-conscious not to say self-com- placent, that the genuinely philoso- phical outlook of life and its prob- 'lems an outlook which presupposes inclusive vision and genuine in- sight, has become utterly impossi- ble." Dr. W. W. Keen of Philadel- phia, medical author, said the need is "a sense of dependence on God." Dr. E. A. Wallace Budge, of the British Museum, London, wrote: "More attention should be paid to the histories of the past civiliza- tions, and their influence upon us through continuity." ~ i Open Letter 160 Australian route from Montreal to Toronto, and seeing them on this march. tion of the citizens in this regard The City will be greatly honoured on Friday next by the visit of ] boys who were selected in that country to tour the United States and Canada.

Marked changes were isolated and fractional losses about equalled similar advances. In- ternational Nickel was a typical example of the morning performance, when after break- ing to a low of 44 3-4, the price recovered to 46, unchanged. The Oil group was uneven, with Imper- jal strengthening 3-4 to 108 1.4, while Bri- tish American was slightly off at 47 1.2, and Foothills lost 50 cents to 7.00 and Home 25 to 20.25. F. N.

Grenfell Association Is Formed in This City Business Men of Oshawa Unite to Further the Splendid Work Being Done by Sir Wilfred Grenfell in the Lab- rador--R. Morphy Consents to Act as Treasurer of the Local Grenfell Fund As a result of the publicity give en the work conducted by Sir Wil- fred Grenfell and his associates in Labrador, it was believed that many of the practical business men and others who heard the address- es of Dr, Paddon on Monday were desirous of assisting in a rather more substantial way than they have yet had an opportunity of do- ing. It has therefore been propos- ed to form a Grenfell Association in Oshawa, Similar groups are found in many other Canadian towns and cities. The annual membership fee is three dollars or as much: more as the member cares to give. Each member receives quarterly the magazine, "Among the Deep Sea Fishers". All who desire to bhe- come members are asked to send fee to R. Morphy, Manager of the Bank of Montreal, on or before Saturday, April 20, when the mem- bership campaign for this year is closed. At the request of those in- terested Mr. Morphy has kindly consented to act as the treasurer of this fund and will receive all amounts handed in until the close of business on April 20. Acknowledgement will be made through The Oshawa Daily Times. Any organization deemed desirable can be effected by the members of the association when the present brief campaign closes. Hereafter it is hoped by the promoters of the Association that the week begin- ning on the second Sunday of April will be known in Oshawa as '"'Gren- fell Week". Memberships date are: Dr. T. W. G. McKay. Geo. W. McLaughlin received to $ 10.00 25.00 ---- Total $85.00 MUST SHOW THEIR * DIAMONDS OR ELSE LOSE THEIR MONEY Cayuba, Brazil, Apr. 10--Trad- ers who come into this diamond province of Matto Grosso to barter goods of the outside world for the glittering products of the washes must know their diamonds if they would make a profit in their deals. There are many ways of making a stone appear more than its value, and one of these is cooking a light stone with a pot of black beans all night and then selling it to a trad- er for a black diamond. The dark- er hue is only temporary, however, and there is seldom a trader who cannot detect a real black diamond from a cooked one. Prospectors in the diamond sec- tions here are from every race un- der the sun, men as hard as those of the gold days of '49 or later Alaska fields. Quick to fight in defence of their property, or real or fancied wrongs, these men are real survivors of the fittest in the fields where the law of civilization and courts is unkown, Any prospector has no hesitancy in leaving his poke of diamonas lying carelessly on a table, and no one will attempt to steal it. The reputation of these men as quick on the draw or with a knife thrust is such that their diamonds left lying about are perfectly safe from thiev- ing hands. K. OF C.

EPIC OF SEA END INLIQUOR CHARGE Smuggling Charged Against Owner of Yacht Found Adrift Philadelphia, April 9.--An epic of the sea, with chapters of hero- ism and distress, had its denoue- ment before U.S. Commissioner Pat- terson here yesterday when Lelana H. Ross, New York and Jersey City society man and sportsman, was charged with and then cleared of attempted smuggling. Ross is the owner of the two- masted auxiliary schooner Nomad which was found wallowing crazily 6ff Cape May, N.J., with himself and two seamen dazed and help- less in the cabin and bottles rou- ing about on the floor, He told a story of a stormy voy- age from southern waters, during which his Captain, John D. Scho- field, was drowned trying to save those aboard the yacht by fixing what he called a "bum" rudder. But his tale did not prevent him from being hauled before Commis- sioner Patterson on two grave charges. It was alleged by cus- toms men that he attempted to smuggle and unlawfully transport alleged intoxicating liquors into the United States. Assistant U.S. Attorney Thatch- er showed receipts found on the yacht revealing that Ross had bought 7 1-2 cases of assorted li- quors at Nassau Bahamas for $139. Ross's attorney, Francis E, Laws, of New York, displayed a permit showing Ross was permitted to carry on board nine quarts of spirituous liquors or their equiva- lent for medicinal purposes. There was no evidence, Laws contended, that Ross was trying to bring liquor to this country. Most of the liquor found on the yacht was non-spirituous, he said. Commissioner Patterson inter- jected at this point: "There is no evidence there was any liquor aboard other than what Ross was permitted to have." "I discharge the defendant," ne said. Customs officials were undecided whether they would undertake fur- ther action against Ross, Thatcher said he was convinced Captain Schofield had died in line 'of duty and had not been -- as suggested earlier--pushed overboard during a brawl. Harry G. Bush and Richard French, the two seamen held pris- oners on the yacht while it was be- ing towed to Philadelphia, were not formally charged and did not ap- pear before Patterson, H. | jail pending his appearance in po- {tery from the G.M.C. before Mag- General Gunn Speaks at Fine Banquet of Local Post, Canadian i Legion CITY POLICE COURT PAID FINE OF $20 Roy Howard paid a fine of $20 and costs for being intoxicated im city police court this morning be- fore Magistrate Willis of Whitby.

Mr. and Mrs Charle Shaw were on their way home at a late hour, and nearly stepped into a four foot hole where the culvert had been washed out. A flash of lightning was all that saved them from taking another step into the chasm. . A number of residents had wa- ter in their cellars and consider- able damage was done at the mill, the remaining bank left from the last flood of a few weeks ago be- tween the two creeks being levelled, also some damage to the waste gate and at the bridge.
