THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, JUNE 18, 1929 ARRANGEMENTS COMPLETED FOR «STREET FAIR (Continued from Page 3) vide amusement, The booths which have been ar- ranged include splendid new features, and the crowd will have a busy time making therounds of them all. Each booth will be manned by Rotarians, Kiwanians, Kinsmen and other friends of the club, and the Rotarians will be decked out in white coats. A final check has been made on every detail of the plans for the booths, and all is in readiness for the big night at the Four Corners, ° Street The erection of the booths will be started in the afternoon, and at fous o'clock the section covered by the Street Fair will be closed to all traf- fic. The city engineer's department and police department will co-operate in placing barricades at the points which have been selected, and for the rest of the night the centre of the city will be in the hands of the Ro- tary Club. An interesting offer was made by one of the members at yesterday's meeting. This member will be out of the city on Wdnesday, but he said that he would provide, for any one person who happened to receive any injuries as a result of the Street Fair, one week's free treatment at the Oshawa General Hospital, Another interesting feature of the meeting was a welcome back evtend- ed to Duncan Campbell, who was present for the first time since his re- turn from Cleveland, where he re- cently underwent an operation, . Mr. Campbell, in reply, voiced his appre- ciation of the kindly spirit shown towards him by the Rotarians during his illness. ASK OSHAWA RY.

Will, Sell House The council decided to sell by tender the house on Ritson road south owned by the city, the house to be torn down and re- moved. W. Murphy was notified to re- move the gravel, stone and wagons from the city property on Midland street at the north entrance to Alexandra park. The council decided to not place a full page advertisement in the new Oshawa Directory. Application Refused The application of Joseph Drap- ak for a gasoline pump license and a service station at 840 Sim- coe street south was refused. Letters from F, Grimshaw and Thomas Pugh regarding alleged smoke nuisance from the ice cream factory on Warren avenue, were referred to the Board of Health. Dog Catcher Named Thomas Waddington was ap- pointed dog catcher for the city, his duties being defined as includ- ing the checking up of the assess- ment, seeing that all dogs in the city were tagged; impounding dogs found running at large without tags; and removing car- casges of dead dogs from the - streets. A Police Commission Parking Area recommendation that from the parking be allowed on the city property on Metcalf street was referred to the city property committee. A recom- mendation was: "That this Commission recom- mend to the city council that the council provide a parking space for cars on the vacant property owned by the city on Bagot and Metcalf streets, owing to the dif- ficulty of keeping the streets clear for traffic which necessitates regulations being passed to pro- hibit parking on certain sides of different streets, also a time limit being put on others, which makes it difficult for persons to find parking space." Alderman 8S. H. Jackson ques- tioned two accounts totalling $297.35 from Mercury Service Limited. He sald that the purchase of gasoline should either be distri- buted among more firms in the city or the council should instal a gas pump with 1,000 gal. tank to serve city vehicles. Alderman Hart declared that the present method was perhaps more economical as a man would have to be kept on the job to attend the pump. A motion to instal the pump and tank, made by Alderman Jackson, was referred to the city property committee, HUSBAND AND WIFE FINALLY ~~ UNITED, HAD FAILED TO MEET Mrs. Thomas Smith and Baby Journey From Scot- land--Mistake Rectified Through some unforeseen mis- take, a wife and her baby daugh- ter arriving in Oshawa yesterday from Scotlad and seeing America for the first time failed to meet her husband as arranged through recent correspondence. The wife and mother was Mrs. Thomas Smith who had expected meeting her husband, whom she had not seen for some years, upon her ar- rival at the Oshawa station, When she failed to find him, however, she sought out Chief of Police Friend and asked him to find her husband for she knew that he would be waiting tor her some- where and that the mistake, for she believed it could be nothing else, would soon be rectified. Shortly after he had written her his last letter, Mr, Smith ob- tained a new position in Toronto and communicated with railway authorities to see that his wife, who was on her way to Oshawa, would be directed straight through to Toronto. By some manner or means the 'wires were crossed" and the two did not meet, although Mr, Smith waited at the Toronto Union station all day yes- terday. And then, sensing some mis- understanding, the husband came to Oshawa last night and went to the police station where the glad news was related to him that his wife had arrived and was at a certain address in the city. It was not long before the happy couple were united, after hours of appie- hension and worry for fear some- thing had happened to the other. The two will move to Toronto with their little baby, where the two will take up residence, Golf Etiquette: Decorum should be observed both in addresssing the ball and after it is missed.-- Ottawa Journal. A ROTARY BALLOONS ARE_ LOCATED BY LUGKY PERSONS Most of Them Travelled North of Bowmanville Before Coming Down Thanks to the direction of the wind, the people of the district of Bowmanville and north of that town are having a splendid opportunity of sharing in the chances on the auto- mobile which is to be given away at the Rotary Street Fair on Wednes- day night. Four more large balloons were released last night, and all of them floated off in a north-easterly direction. Two went up at the Motor City Stadium and two at Lakeview Park, and in each case the ascension was perfect, the balloons rising gracefully and evenly until wafted y the breeze off over the city and the surrounding country. This morning three letters were re- ceived intimating that the balloons had been recovered, along with the tickets entitling the finders to chan- ces on the automobile, One of these referred to a balloon which was sent up on Saturday night, It was found at 945 p.m. on that night, at Lot 25, Con. 2, township of Darlington, by Mrs. Percy Byers, R.R, No. 2, Bow- manville, Reports were received on two of the balloons sent up last night. Mrs. Thomas = Willoughby, 135 Barrie Avenue, Oshawa, reported having found a balloon two and a half miles north of Bowmanville, on a vacant field, at 7.35 p.m. last night, The balloon and the tickets, she reported, were intact. The other balloon was found by Raymond W, Cole and Melville S. Dale, shortly after 7.30 pm, in t field owned by Mrs. N, Metcalf, one concession south of the highway at Maple Grove. Reports have also been received on the finding of the other balloons which were set off on Saturday af- ternoon, but which came down in the city after going only a short dis- tance. The publicity committee is now waiting reports on the other two" balloons sent up last night, but regarding which no report has as yet arrived. EXTENSIONS T0 STREETS BEFORE THE CITY COUNGIL Committee Reports Progress Made on Some of the Extension Projects 1 The question of street extensions in the city is being kept very much alive by the city council. Last night the city property committee was again Instructed to take ender consideration extensions of Alice and Colborne streets east from Ritson road, which proved such bones of contention last year, and also to report on the advisability of the extension of Louisa street. Each of these three street ex- tensions has been under considera- tion for some time, and all of them have been considered important. Difficulty in conducting negotia- tions with the owners of the prop- erty involved has prevented defin- ite action being taken in the case of Colborne and Alice streets, but Leave Your Car AT Mercury Service Parking Station The Streets Will Be Crowded Parking Spaces EVERY FACILITY FOR RENDERING SERVICE AT THIS PARKING STATION Parking Rates:-- 25¢ per Afternoon or Evening MERCURY SERVICE Corner Mary and King Streets East it was suggested at the council meeting last night that unless the owners would come to terms with- out delay this year, it would be advisable to institute proceedings. The city property committee r=- ported that negotiations were pro- ceeding favorably in the opening of John street west of Nassau street, and that it was hoped that a definite report could be made at the next council meeting. NEW SCHOOL PLAN NOT COMPULSORY Shifting of High School Work to Public Schools Is Optional Deseronto, June 18.--Premler G. Howard Ferguson made it perfect- ly plain here yesterday afternoon that compulsion does not and will not enter into his plans, as Minis- ter of Education, to extend to the public schools of the Province the advantages of two years of high school education. In other" words his new reor- ganization proposal can be either accetped or left alone, The Gov- ernment has no intention ot forc® ing on the public schools anything to which they may be opposed or which, from a financial point of view, they may feel themselves unable to handle. "May" is the word which the Prime Minister us- ed before the United Empire Loy- alists celebration yesterday, when in speaking of his great aim to provide the children of rural local- ities with the same advantages iu schooling as possessed by pupils in large centres of population. There was not the slightest sug- gestion from him that the public schools 'must' fall in line with it, and at no time has he ever consid- ered making his proposal anytning but optional in nature. CLAIMS CHINA 13 WEARY OF STRIFE Former Cabinet Minister in Nanking Government Revives Disorder Montreal, June 18.--War clouds which have hung over China for 80 many years are showing some promise of clearing, according to Dr. Hawkling Yen, Ph.D., a former cabinet minister who was in Mon- treal Wednesday. Dr. Yen bases his faith in the restoration of or- der on the fact that the great mass of the nation has become tired of instability and is eager to support Gen. Chiang Kai Shek and his Na- tionalist party which stand for or- der and strong central governs ment. Defeated Rivals The Nationalists have gradually' defeated or combined with all ri- val parties except that led by the Christian general, Feng. With Gen. Feng, the Nationalists have fought on the age old question of provincial rights against strong centralization. Gen. Feng is re- garded as the champion of provin- cial rights, democracy and simpli- city, but has recently compromi ed with the Nationalists and support- ed their Government at Nanking. Dr. Yen explained that the great question was whether or not the two parties could work together, and said that a solution might arise from Gen. Feng's retirement form public life, which was pre- dicted in a rocent Chinese rumor. Dr. Yen denied that the Govern- ment of the Nationalists was at all comparable to that of the Fascists in Italy, Although believing in a strong central Government, Gen. Chiang Kai Shek and the National- ists do not wish to establish a dic- tatorship and all of the general's orders must be passed upon by a commission which is elected demo- cratically. Dr, Yen's views are of particular interest as he has had a great dea: of experience in Chinese politics. He entered politics as commission- er of foreign affairs in the Shang- hai government in 1912 after hav- ing received his M. A. degree at St. John's ® University, Shanghas, and a degree of Ph.D. at Columbia. During his long political career He has held many important cabinet positions including the post of Minister of loreign Affairs. He re- tired from politics recently to ac- cept the office of Secretary of the Institute of Pacific Relations and he is now in Montreal making ar- rangements with the local branch of the institute regarding its next conference which is to be held in Kyoto, Japan, in October. Dr. Yen is now on his way to the Unit- ed States where he will continue to visit the centres of the Institute of Pacific Relations, He has al- ready visited towns in the western states and in Canada, and before returning home will visit England, France and the League of Nations headquarters at Geneva. A Canadian delegation of 18 men is expected at the conference this October, Dr. Yen said, and the chief topic to be discussed is the question of the unequal distribu- tion of land, food and population, a question in which Canada is closely involved. The institute is an entirely unofficial body and de- votes its efforts to studying and understanding the causes of inter- raeial friction, believing that a so- lution of this sort of problem is more likely to be affected by un- official than official negotiations.
