THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, MAY 3, 1929 RE PAGE -<xif Board of Health May Acton Reco industries Are . As Electric Paralyzed Power Line Snapped by Odd Accident Piece of Timber From Roof of Savoy Building Crash- ed Through High Tension Wires Causing Sensational Electric Fireworks TWO HOUR TIE-UP IS RESULT OF BREAK Most of City's Industries and Small Power Users, as Well as Many Resi- dences, Without Supply of Power A break in the electrical service on Simcoe street just south of King street yesterday afternoon com- pletely paralyzed most of the in- dustries in the city, as well as shutting off the electrical supply to residents and commercial users in the belt between Bruce and Col- borne streets, including Westmount and Harmony. The power was off from 3.25 to 5.08 o'clock. The break was caused by a piece of timber from the Savoy building, 26 Simcoe street south, falling off the roof and crashing through the 4,400 volt main supply wires. The short circuit thus caused set up a surge in the wires that sent a ball of fire crackling and sizzling along King street east to Prospect street, snapping wires at every pole be- tween the break and the King St. intersection, and causing five ot the high tension wires at King any Prospect streets to snap together and sever under the high voltage. Daylight Fireworks The accident provided people in the 'business section with one of the best exhibitions of daylight fire works that has been witnessed in Oshawa. As the wires shorted and surged together they snapped and fell to the ground. This caused sparks many feet long as, the high tension wires crossed each other, and sent snakes of flame along the wet ground as they crashed to the sidewalk. The local office of the Hydro-Electric power commission was immediately notifitd and the current shut off, and local police officers kept pedestrians away from the dangerous spots until assured that the wires were dead. The industries immediately af- /fécted by the break were Fittings, {"Tdmived; Oriental Téxtiles, Centra Spring: Company, Limited, and all small power users in .the central portion of the city. In order to re- pair the damage at King and Pros- pect streets, the electrical supply to General Motors of Canada had to be shut down for a short time as the supply wires were on the same poles as those wires which had been snapped by the accident. Delays The Times Just at the time thé break oc- curred, The Times was ready to go to press, and since as a result of the accident the entire supply of power to this office was shut off, no papers could be printed until af- ter 5.30 o'clock, two hours later than the usual time of issue. FINAL NIGHT OF THE MIKA Auditorium Filled to Capac- ity on Last Night The presentation of the Gilbert- Sullivan light opera, '"'The .Mi- kado," by the General Motors Musical Soclety, was given its final showing last night before an audi- ence which filled the spacious au- ditorium almost to capacity. The large audience was highly appreci- ative of the splendid efforts of the members of the company, all of whom gave a finished performance in their singing and acting roles. As might be expected, the final night's presentation was a little more perfect than on the two pre- vious nights, all the principals being thoroughly at home in their parts, and making the most out of the music and the opportunities for displaying dramatic ability.

He was let out on bail of $2,000 until May 9. y NAMES MISPLACED In the account of the honor roll of Mary street school published in last night's edition the names of Donald Smallbone, Alan Comeron and Donald Cameron, which were included in the list of pupils of the Junior III with Miss M. A. Wilson as teacher, should have been listed as Senior III pupils, GRADUATED AT O.V.C. In the list of graduates for the Ontario Veterinary College announ- ced today appears the mame of G. H. Collacutt, of Port Perry, who has completed the course with great distinction. In the honors list, he was awarded third prize for gen- eral proficiency in the graduating class. FIRE LOSS DOWN For the first quarter of the year 1929, the local fire department an- swered a total of 86 calls, The to- tal fire loss for the same period was $4,336.59. This is a slight decrease from the same period for last year. For the month of April the total number of calls was 25.--This has been the heaviest month so far this year, but the fire loss for that month was small in comparison with that of the previous months. INSURANCE MEN MEET . W. Irvine, of the Canada Life Association, Toronto, gave a splen- did sales talk to the Life Under- writers Association of this city at the annual meeting in Welsh's par- lors yesterday, Mr. Irvine advanced several unusual idea on making sales, and considerably impressed the meeting. The president, W. O. Ben- nett, occupied the chair, and the meeting was attended by practically the full membership of the associa- tion, RAIN CAUSES ACCIDENT Ag a Chevrolet car driven by B. M. Black, of 224 Bruce street, on King street east, attempted to turn north onto Division street, it was met by grief in the form of a Fora Tudor ploughing into the side of the car, at 8.30 last night. The driving rain making vision difficult was likely the cause of this acci- dent as both drivers could give no cause or the occurence. Wm. Den- nison of 18 Oak street was the driver of the Ford and though nei- ther driver was injured the Ford suffered a severely bent wheel and other damage while the Chevrolet had running "board, fender and body damage. ? MAY PURCHASE CAR FOR D. A. HUBBELL At the Board of Health meeting last night, Alderman P. A. Mac- donald suggested that an automo- bile be purchased for Sanitary In- spector D. A, Hubbell. This officer, being charged with many duties, including affixing placards for quar- antine of houses where cases of contagious disease existed, had 1 much ground to cover, particularly when there was a large amount of contagion, he said. At the present time, a taxi has to be used, at $1.50 per hour, and in April alone, taxi fares cost $116.25. "If we dre going to have to pay bills like this for taxi ser- vice it would be much cheaper to buy an automobile," Mr. Macdon- ald declared. He would take it up with the finance committee, and perhaps have this committee meet the Board of Health on the ques- tion, he said. Dr. T. W. G. McKay, medical of- ticer of health, for the city, sug- gested that an assistant be appoint- ed to Mr. Hubbell to handle pla- carding and releases, as it would, in his opinion, be much more eco- nomical than the present 'method. The matter was left for considera- tion by the board and the finance committee. cn mt---------- CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET Chicago, Ills, May 3.--Wheat prices scored early upturns today, but afterward under- went a setback, Initial strength was ascribed to announcement that Eastern railroads would reduce export rates on gram, but in some quarters the announcement was construed as bearish. Opening unchanged to 1-dc high- er, wheat later showed a general sag. Corn also tended downward, starting at l.dc off to 1-8¢ up, and subsequently receding all around. Oats were firm.

(104a) CLOSE SIX GARAGE DWELLINGS DURING MONTH OF APRIL Are Condemned by Sani- tary Inspector as' Unfit for Habitation NEED INCINERATOR Inflammable Matter at City Dump Handled in Un- satisfactory Manner Direct action against some of the owners of 'garage dwellings" in this city was taken during the month of April when six of these places were condemned ag unfit for human habitation, the inhdbi- tants of five of them moving out or being evicted during the month, according to the report of Sanitary and Plumbing Inspector D. A. Hub- bell, presented to the Board of Health at its regular May meeting last night. The board fixed its seal of approval on this 'action by ac- cepting the sanitary inspector's re- port without debate. The sanitary inspector also pointed out again to the Board the unsatisfactory manner in whicn mattresses and other articles of similar nature were handled at the city dump, and he read to the Board a letter which had been sent to the operator of the small incin- erator, reminding him strongly of his duty. According to inspector Hubbell, many of the poorer class of people frequent the dump and salvage any possible article, such as old mattresses which have been thrown out for any reason. These were taken to their homes, creat- ing a most unsanitary condition. D. A. J. Swanson strongly sup- ported the clause in the report tnat the installation of a proper inciner- ator, which, he said, would cost in the neighborhood of $40,000, would take care not only of this condi- tion but of all the inflammable matter that was sent to the dump and periodically caused trouble, through blowing around the neigh- (Continued on Page 2) id IMPETUS IS GIVEN T0 MOTOR CLUB, NOW RE-ORGANIZED Privileges and Aims Outlin- ed Before Representative Gathering Last Night Through the combined efforts of the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce and interested citizens the Oshawa Motor Club, which has been a dor- mant organization for some years was given new life and a decided impetus at a re-organization meet- ing held last night in Welsh's Par- lors. Formal proceedings were carried out in connection with the establishment of the club througn the presence of Elmer West, of Sault Ste. Marie, who is president of the Ontario Motor League and other officials including Dr. P. E. Doolittle, president of the Canadian Automobile Association, W. R.

Leon Frazer, industrial com- missioner and secretary of the Osh- awa Chamber of Commerce as well as secretary of the Motor Club or Oshawa was present. The following were elected to the organization committee: C. E. McTavish, 'chairman; M. E. Hart- ley, W, H. Karn, E. Parsons, H, J. White, F M. Dahmer, J. N. Wilson, A. L Boukley, M.

There will be a meeting of thé organization committee on Mon- day evening, May 6, at 7.30 o'cleck in the Chamber of Commerce board room for the purpose of electing officers and directors. Although representative attend- ance at the meeting which followed a splendid hanquet was far from encouraging, enthusiasm was work- ed up by the O.M.L. officials who declared, each in turn, that Osnr awa would be regarded only as an up-to-date city when it established an active motor club in affiliation, as is customary, with the Ontario Motor League.

In police court yesterday a case came up that should be of unusual in- terest to Canadian people and, as the case centres more or less around Osh- awa, it should be of particular inter- est to local citizens. A Scotch lad of seventeen summers appeared char- ged with stealing rides on railway trains. When arraigned ig. court, the lad after much questioning told his story. He was raised in the city of Aber- deen, Scotland, and at the age of fourteen, left school to work in a sawmill, He worked in the mill stead- ily until he was sixteen when he was discharged because the firm would not pay the employment insurance that is necessary for all firms to keep on their employees. For the next year he drifted around the city of -Aber- deen doing odd jobs and living with his mother and his stepfather. Hear- ing of the countless opportunities of- fered in Canada he signed up with the Aberdeen Lads Clb which paid his fare to Canada where he was pla- ced on a farm, about a month ago. Going to the farm, he signed no agreement with the farmer and was Caught "Riding the Bumpers" Immigrant Youth Admits He Didn't Like Farmers Hours thus free to go when he pleased, which was contrary to one of the Dominion laws regarding young im- migrants seventeen years of age. He stayed at the first farm near Picton for four days but didn't like the hours so he left and later worked for an- other farmer at Demorestville. Mean- while he had been communicating with a former friend in Toronto who asked him to come to that city where his friend was sure that he could get a job. Arriving in Toronto the lad could not find his friend anywhere and so he decided to make his way back ro the Old Country, He was, however, caught "riding the bumpers" near Oshawa and brought to court. The youth informed Magistrate Willis that he had received good board and good treatment on the farm but he did not like the work. One of the apparent reasons was because of the early hours that he had to get up. The lad was remanded until May 9. Meanwhile the local force is try- ing to get in touch with his former employer. Magistrate Willis will al- so correspond with the Department of Agriculture about the matter, ---- Latest Financial News rote a an a el ow Stobie, Forlong and Ce. id a ts TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE Toronto, Ont., May 3.--Goodyear Tire and International Nickel were the redeeming fea- tures of a rather listless market on the To- ronto Stock Exchange today when prices were inclined to move in an irregular fa- shion, Losses and gains were about equally balanced at the noon hour. Trading was far from heavy, though International Nickel en- joyed active trading and a few stocks such as Ford Motor and Brazilian were somewhat active. A spectacular run in Goodyear sent the price soaring to a high of 375, the noon quotation of 370 showing a net advance of 30.00, International Nickel eldh close to the morning's high, indicating an appreciation of 1 5-8 points to 54 1-4, Brazilian tumbled down to 54 1-2, a loss of 1 3-4 points while Canadian Oil at 57, Walkers at 76 1.2 and Service Stations at 74 were all off a point, The proper industrial stocks failed to in- dicate any definite trend, with Cockshutt Plow gaining 1 3-4 points to 43 3-4, while Harris was unchanged at 74.

Noranda was a bright spot and in the face of a slightly weaker movement, climbed up 95 cents to 54.70, The rest of the price chan- ges were only minor, Sudbury Basm stren- gthened 15 cents to 8.75, while Teck-Hughes unproved 10 to 9.40, Hollinger 10 to 7.60 and Ventures 40 to 9.75, Ajax Oil and Wainwell were both again prominent in trading and were subjected to profititaking, Ajax closing 4 points to 1.23 and Wainwell 5 to 53.

The hall was filled to the doors. The program consisted of a campfire scene, reminiscent of the great war. Those taking part were Messers. R. Hamilton, R. Drum- mond, R. Mills, W. Thompson and G. Roy. Mrs. F. LeRoy and G. Roy sang ag a duet the old Scotch song Huntingtower. An instru- mental duet was played by Miss 1). Local and Mr. M. Goldburn, and Roy Hamilton followed with a com- ic song "Burlington Bertie" which was very well received. 'The Gypsy"s Warning" was an interesting vocal number. Those taking part were Miss D. Local, Mrs. Beaton, R. Mills and the Miss- es W. Hamilton, R. Hamilton, J. Hamilton, Roy and Cawker. The main part of the concert was an interesting and humorous sketch entitled "How the Story Grew". This portrayed plainly how stories from hand to mouth were magnified. Those taking part were the Mesdames Knight, Cor- mack, Sparkes, Douglas, Mackin- tosh, Roy and Parker. The evening was brought to a close by a scene, "When you and I were young, Maggie", featuring Mrs. F. LeRoy and Mr. G. Roy. The accompanist for the evening was Mr. M.

S. Dickinson, according to a report which he presented to the Board of Health last night, He reported that he had been forced to con- demn a whole carcass of beef that was so dangérous that persons eating the meat were practically sure to have suffered serious and painful disease or perhaps death. The animal had either died or had been killed at the home of ifie owner, a man of foreign birth, the inspector stated, and had been taken to a slaughter house just outside the city to he dressed, at noon hour when the inspector would ordinarily have been in an- other section of the city. However, by good fortune, Dr. Dickinson said, he had returned to the slaughter house in time to find the carcass, and immediately conduct- ed the usual inspection. Finding a particularly dangerous condition, he ordered it buried immediately in quicklime. The man who had killed the animal has been in the habit of selling occasional carcasses to local butcher, the inspector said. Owing to a technicality in the pure food law, the man could not be prosecuted on this occasion as he had not offered the meat for sale in the legal sense of the term, but was given a stringent warning by the Inspector. The Board of Health . last night in- structed the - secretary to write immediately to this man, 'to the owner of the slaughter house, and to the butcher that usually handied {Continued on Page 2) LITTLE THEATRE WILL GONTINUE NEXT SEASON Acknowledgment Made of Those Assisting This Year That the Oshawa Little Theatre| will carry on for another year has | been definitely decided by the Kx- ecutive, it was announced to The Times today. , Hopes are express- ed for a much larger subscription list than last year.
