THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, JUNE 14, 1929 PAGE FIVE ONTARIO COUNTY + DAY BIG OCCASION (Continued from page 3) - fous opeérations which were being done or had been done on the roads over which the cavalcade passed. At Uxbridge. another brief stop 'was made, the party being welcom- + ed by Mayor Pollard and J. w. .Widditield, M.P.P. for Ontario north . Here again, additions were made to the procession, and " 'the bus and cars were taken, back to the highway, and proceeded north to Sunderland. At Sunderland Another reception committee was waiting at Sunderland to re- - ceive the Warden's aprty. Here through the generosity of the vil- lage council, light refreshments were served at the Brock 'hotel, and a short time spent in conver- sation with the citizens who had assembled to greet the councillors. The village and township hall and war memorial were greatly admir- ed as the party passed through, The people of Sunderland were al- so delighted with the decision of the eouncil to pave the road through the village, and the stretch in question was pointed out to the council. At this point the provincial highway.. detours. ®or about two miles, as construction work is being done on the main road, so the party proceeded along the "detour road and then turned north into Beaverton. The main object of interest at Beaverton, where further additions were made to the string of cars, was the splendid town hall of the village of Beaverton and the township of Thorah. With the handsome war memorial, sur- rounded by glorious flower beds, the hall is indeed a credit to the community, The councillors went through the building, and especial- ly admired the spacious auditori- um, with its fine stage and equip- ment for staging of entertain- ments. The council chamber and municipal ofices were also much admired, as were the public library next door, and the new Presbyter- ian church just east of the town hall. The new bridge at Beaver- ton, and the dam, which was swept out by the floods in the spring, were also objects of inter- est here. Proceeding north from Beaverton, the "party headed through Mara Township, with its huge piles of stone for 'road building seen at frequent intervals, towards Orillia, After skirt- ing the shores of Lake Simcoe, a halt was made at the Atherley Bridge, made famous by the long-drawn out controversy over payment of the cost of construction. The bridge is indeed a magnificent span, four hundred feet long, with its swinging arch' towards the Simcoe county side of it. Reeve Forsyth of Pickering was able to per- i the engineer to swing the bridge open for the guests, so that they could see its operation. This «+ bridgexbuilt-at a.cost of $118,000, paid medgintly by the federal.government-and 4 the counties of Simcoe and Ontatio, was one of the outstanding features inspected during the way, Lunch in Orillia From Atherley:a few minutes drive brought the party int6 Orillia, where a halt was made in the beautiful Couchiching Park for lunch, The splendid memorial in honor of Samuel de Champain at once caught the eye the lifelike bronze figure being part- icularly arresting. : Luncheon, served in the park, was a delightful occasion, providing an opportunity for meeting and greeting of old friends, for by this time the party had attained censiderable size. After luncheon, all gathered around the bandstand, where greetings of welcome were extended to the visitors from Ontario county by Mayor Ben Johnson and Reeve La Force of Orillia and Warden Greatrix of Sim- coe county, ; Mayor Johnston expressed pride at being an Ontario county boy, having been' born in Cannington and spent his 'early life there, and he paid a tribute to Warden Dobson as.one of the pioneers of electrical development in this part of Ontario. He also out- lined the industries of Orillia, and said his town was the most progressive and beautiful town in Ontario, ' Warden Dobson, in responding, acknowledged the welcome of Orillia and Simcoe County, and incidentally mentioned that the great reason for the industrial development of Orillia was the fact that it enjoyed cheap electric power rates, At Wasdale Falls The party continued its northward way to Washago, where a halt was made.' Those who had been travelling in the bus were placed in the cars in the procession, and a trip was made to Wasdale Falls to inspect the water- power development there, and the generating station where the power is generated to supply Ontario county from the north end, down as far as Uxbridge and Port Perry. The plant, of course, is operated by the Hydro- Electric Power Commission of Ont-~ ario, and is located at Wasdale Falls, on the Severn River, which is, at this point, the boundary line between Sim- coe and Ontario counties, Ccenic Beauties The trip to the falls was worth while from a scenic as well as an instructive point of view, The wind- ing road led through great masses of rock, with the Severn river showing itself on occasions through the thick growth of forest. At the falls, the dam held back the watce, and trans- formed the stream, at the other side, into a raging torrent of whirlpools and dashing foam. An interesting sight was that of a little boy, brown as a berry and sturdy as an oak, fish- ing near the dam, catching the fish-- bass and pickerel--with his hands as they came out of the spillway with the overflow of water. He had no difficulty in dipping his arm tor the shoulder into the water between the rocks, and picking out splendid speci- mens of fish, which he deposited in a quiet pool he had constructed. The visitors crowded around to watch his operations, and he quickly sold his stock of fish to eager county coun- cillors. 0 i The plant itsclf was a source o much interest. It has two generators, each with a capacity of 600 horse- power, and it has recently been hooked .up with the Niagara and Muskoka. systems. making am addi: .

BROWN THE JEWELLER Phone 189 71 people: overcome tional available load of 5000 horse-] power, Warden Dobson was particu-, larly interested in it, since he had first seen the possibilities of power devel- opment at the falls when he owned 85 acres of land at this point, land which he afterwards sold so that the development could come under public ownership, At Rama Reserve After a wait at Washago until the party - re-assembled, the procession continued down the west side of Lake Couchiching; through rugged country with beautiful scenic views, to Rama, the Indian reserve, Here the Indians were waiting in full force to receive | the Warden's party. They had as- sembled at the Ojibway Indian Coun- cil Hall, a splendid brick building, wher the women had brought speci- mens of their handicraft for exhibi- tion, and most of the members of the party bought these as souvenirs of the day. At the urgent request of the Indians, Warden Dobson addressed them in the hall, thanking them for their kindly greeting, and expressing the hope that they were happy and comfortably on their reserve. At this point interest was shown in the old stone Indian church on a height overlooking the lake. Dinner at Cannington Rama was the last stop before Cannington was reached at seven o'clock. There dinner was waiting for the party at the Queen's Hotel, and the sumptuous repast provided by the warden was thoroughly enjoyed by all, for the day had been one to create large appetites, a Dinner over, the scene of festivity was adjourned to Cannington's beau- tiful and well-laid out park, where the chief feature of the evening was an excellent band concert provided by the band of the Ontario Regiment of Oshawa, which had come to Can- nington to take part in honoring Warden Dobson, the host of the day. The whole community seemed to have assembled in the park for this occasion. At the park, a program of speeches was also presented, with Varden Dobson presiding. He expressed the warmest appreciation of the kindness of the band in coming to Canning- ton to provide such a musical treat for the citizens, and also welcomed his. guests in his usual genial and cordial manner. The speakers, who, with one excep- tion, were confined to members of the county council, did not deal at any length with county affairs, save to stress the necessity for maintain- ing a good system or roads and keep- ing the educational facilities of the county up to a high standard, Tributes To Warden All of them, however, paid high tribute to the hospitality of the war- den, to his capable services as a pub- lic 'servant, and to the ability and grace with which he was discharging his duties as warden of the county of Ontario, And in all the speeches, too, there was a warm note of appre- ciation of a wonderful day's pleasure and profit in the tour of Ontario county. Those who spoke were Reeve Kin- ney of Whitby, Mayor Pollard of Uxbridge, Reeve McMillan of Reach Township, Reeve Forsyth, of Picker- ing and Warden Lovitt of the neigh- bouring county of Victoria. Warden Dobson gracefully acknowledged the speeches, and again voiced his de- light at the success which had at- ténd the Ontario County Day. The progtam at the park continued until a late hour, and then, as the bus party started back for Whitby, well after midnight by daylight sav- ing time, the strains of an orchestra getting ready for dancing on the main 'street of the village as the cul- minating' act of Ontario County Day, followed them along the road to the provincial highway, ; As has been said, it was a *memor- able day, one long to be remembered, and when it is remembered, it will be 'with gratitude to the hospitality 'and "thoughtfulness of the man who made it all possible, Warden Adam 1 Dobson of Ontario County, TRIPLE FATALITY ONLY AVERTED BY PROMPT ACTION (Continued From Pagt 3) of his mother. When she would not respond to his question if she wantde anything, he became alarmed and asked his brother Lawrence to get a glass of water for her. In the meantime he ryshed to the neighbor's residence and' summoned Mrs. Wilson. Both he and his brother preced- ed Mrs. Wilson into the room by a minute or two and there collapsed, having been breathing the gaseous atmosphere for some time rpevious to getting up in the morning, Thize Overcome Mrs. Wilson found the three by the gas. Rosh who had sensed the pres- enee of the vapor threw up alt tue mindows in the room after sum- moning Mrs. Wilson, and it was probably by means of this action that his mother's life was saved, Reginald Brown, a friend of the | family living on St. Juien street, 'was- communicated with by tele- phone and hurried to the Woola- cott home where he carried Mrs. Woollacott to a neighbor's home, as well as ooking after the two boys. Dr. Brown was called, who worked over the three of them un- til signs of life were evident. The three are now coming along nice- 1y: Tums Gas Jets Off When young Ross went into the kitchen on his first trip down- stairs the odor of gas was so strong that it was difficult for him to make his way to the gas stove and turn off two jets on the plate and the oven jets. No explanation may be given as to the reason why the jets were turned on, although Mrs. Wilson last night signified her intention of getting up early this morning and doing some bak- ing fbr. the boys who were suppos- ed to have attended the Albert street school ipcnic which is being held today. Although she cannot remember ing -made her way downstairs ba aa WILL BE MARRIED TO-DAY 2dith Wilton Baillie, daughter of Lady Baillie and the late Sir Frank Baillie, who to-day becomes the bride of Donald Fleetwood Benson, son of Mr. and Mrs. BE. W. Benson of Montreal, in the little church of St, Jude at Oakville, 3 and turning on the jets, it is the opinion of neighbors that this is what happened. The weak con- dition of Mrs. Woolacott might have served to make her partially colapse while downstairs but sens- ing her growing weakness, promp- ted her to go upstairs again so that she might rest. ----------p---- EAST WHITBY TP, BYLAW WILL BE GIVEN APPROVAL Sitting of Ontario Municipal and Railway Board Here This Morning At a sitting here of the Ontario municipal and railway board this forenoon, condition approval was intimated of a bylaw of the town- ship of East Whitby, putting into effect residential restrictions on Simcoe sreet north of the city 1im- its for a distance of 1,400 feet. Commissioner J. E. Ellis, heard the argument for and against the by- law, which provides that for a dis- tance of 1,400 feet north of Ross- lyn Road, on both sides, Simcoe street north shall be a residential area. Gordon D. Conant appeared for the township of East Whithy, and the bylaw was also supported by George W. McLaughlin and Robert Grierson. Philip Conn was the only person to appear in opposition to the bylaw, At the conclusion of the hear- ing, Commissioner Ellis intimated that he would recommend to the board that the bylaw be approved, subject to the exception of the pro- perty. of Mr. Conlin on the north- west corner of Simcoe street and Rosslyn Road, so that this could be used for residential or business purposes other than a gasoline sta- tion or garage. Mr, Ellis also in- timated, however, that if the coun- cil of the township insisted on the bylaw standing = as at present, it might be approved as a whole. The hearing .was conducted the Oshawa council chamber. in DECORATION SERVICE Final arrangements for the De- coration Service to he held at Un- fon Cemetery, June 23, at 3 o'clock, will be made at a meeting of the decoration committee of the local I.O.O.F. lodges on Tuesday even- ing.

Charges When Beer Is Confiscated Two previous convictions haveing been registered against him on char- ges of being intoxicated I'red Mc- Nally was sentenced to serve three months in jail by Magistrate Hind when he appeared in city police court here this morning again on a similar charge. Chief Friend how- ever put in a good word for the ac- cused saying that it has been more than a year since McNally has been hailed to court. Herbert Harrison and Wallace Dell also of Oshawa appeared in court this morning along with McNally charg- ed with consuming liquor in a public place, Remands were given in each case at their own requests, The arrests were made last night by Chief Friend himself. The three with an another party had tapped a keg of beer according to police and were considerably surprised = when Chief Friend = told them to come along with him to the station. SUSPEND SENTENGE IN ASSAULT CASE Maurice McCalpine Must Abstain From Use of In- toxicating 'Liquors "You will abstain from the use of intoxicating liquors for a period of two years ,and must report to the chief constable once every month for the same length of time. I will place you on suspended senterice and bind you over to keep the peace on the sum of $500," This was Magistrate Hind's ad- dress to Maurice McAlpine of 149 Celina street when the latter appear- ed in city police court this morn- ing charged with assaulting his wife some time ago. From the evidence adduced, McAlpine was without funds and although he was making his best efforts to keep his wife and three children reverses had come and he was having a hard time doing so He promised to start over again and leave liquor alone, which he blamed to be the cause of all his domestic troubles. FAREWELL ESTATE CHEQUE RECEIVED First Distribution Brings Sum of $3,743.67 to Hospital The first distribution from the estate of the late Col. Farewell, who left a sum of money which has been declared by court judgment to be the property of the Oshawa General Hospital, has been made. This morning the hospital received a cheque for $3,743.67, and it is understood that there is a further sum yet to be pald to the institu- tion, This bequest was the subject of considerable litigation, ag the mon- ey was provided for a Whitby hos- pital, should steps be taken to have a hospital built there. In case of default on the part of Whitby, it was to come to Oshawa hospital. After some litigation, the court de- cided that Whitby had not compli- ed with the terms of the bequest, and the money was declared to be- long to the local institujon, Today's cheque was' the first distribution of the bequest.

I have given the Hydro and Gas problem close study since 1926, and the industrial problem for au longer period than that. . 1 have never had the slightest doubt in my mind; on the wisdom and advisability of this city pur- chasing and thereby controlling its Hydro and Gas; and also acquir- ing and having complete control oi lands for Industrial Development. Without any fear or doubt, I say every citizen on Saturday next wno has the best interests of his or her city at heart should get out and vote YES to all four questions for the progress and profit of the city generally, As our mayor has correctly said, and the others of us who are sup- porting him agree; we cannot hope to get new industries, and thereby continue our present progress and prosperity. until we purchase these utilities, and without adding wne cent per annum to our tax bills. We are producing today a clear net profit of over $125,000.00 per annum, and at present we are giv- ing the largest proportion of this enormous profit to certain other municipalities; because we are by fate in that partnership, \ We can on Saturday by voting yes, separate and control our own system, and retain for ourselves the profits we create for the re- duction of our rates and taxes and the redemption of the purchase monies. The Chamber of Commerce, The City Council, and last but not least The Oshawa Daily Times being all of like mind and thought should be supported on Saturday by the peo- ple when they are asked to vote. I am told Oshawa once had the chance of purchasing the Street | Railway for a very small sum; but failed to do so. What a gold mine today that is, no one can deny; and the profits that concern earns, through : the growth and develop- ment of this city, goes into' the common pot of the Dominion Treasury; and we are crying for better transportation today through the folly of our ancestors. Let us take that as a lesson on Saturday, and vote for the future profits and prosperity not only of ourselves but for our children and children's children. The whole of the questions or bylaws affect the industrial pro- gress of our city. We want new industries; but prospective manu- facturers tell us our hydro rates and land prices are too high; and therefore we cannot come--That a a fact. In all frankness and seri- ousness I say Oshawa's future will be weighed in the balance of the vote on Saturday,, Will the people be found wanting? No! They will vote yes to all four questions that is my prediction, why? Be- cause these bylaws are bylaws. for progress and profit and the people of Oshawa want progress, and they want control of the profits their progress creates. I could give figures innumer- able to uphold this contention, but they have been given already. It is now only for me to uphold the principles of these bylaws; and to say, electors--~now or never--Look ahead. Plan ahead. Knock the By the way, what has become of the craze over mah jong?
