FIFTEEN WHITBY "APPLICATIONS FOR ~~ OLD AGE PENSION MEETING OF BOARD - "WILL SOON BE 3 CALLED Reeve Kenny Outlines the Qualifications Necessary "For Pension (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, Aug. 1.--Reeve S. M. Kenny, who is Whitby's repre- sentative o nthe county old age pen- sentative on the county old age pen- sions' Act which will shortly come into operation ,has received fifteen applications from the Whitby dis- trict to date. As a number of others have been enquiring about the pensions, the reeve expects to receive a considerable number more applications in the near fut- ure. The County Pension Board are receiving many applications from all over Ontario county and it i= expected that a meeting will soon be called by the chairman, Gor- don McLean of Uxbridge, to deal with them. The meeting will alto- gether likely be held in the county town, ; Reeve Kenny is of the opinion that many of the citizens are not aware of the act and a number do not understand the qualifications under which a person may become eligible for a pension. The Qualifications The qualifications of the Domin- fon Old Age Pensions Act are as follows: A.--Is a British subject or being a widow who ig not a British sub- ject was such before her marriage. B.--Has attained the age of seventy years. C.--Has resided in (Canada for twenty years. D.--Has resided in the Province in which the application for pen- sion is made for five years. E.--Is not an Indian as speci- REE Weeping Widows In that strange interlude -- "life" ==there comes a time when one's partner dies. The remaining er, if she be a widow is grief stricken. But beyond the grief there very often arises fear -- haunting fear = for the future, the spectre of want. Sometimes the very means to provide for immediate subsis- tence are lacking. Friends come to the rescug for a time but only - for @ time. " Then the widow is doubly lonely. She has not only lost her husband: she has become a burden to friends. This is not a pleasant possibility for your wife, is it? Well then, why not strive to prevent it--as far as it lies in your power, by means of a Confederation Life Insurance Policy? Write for our pamphlet entitled "A Cheque in the Mail". You will be astonished to learn how much insurance you can buy for a modest premium. Confederation Life Head Office: TORONTO Branch Robert B. Smith, Lowe: Agent, 37, King St. E, Oshawa. and news will be received at the RESENTATIVE -- ------ ho fied by the Indian act. _F.--Is not in receipt of an in- meas much as $365 per year. G.~--Has not made any volun- tary assignment or transfer of property for the purpose of qual- ifying for a pension, Children Not Relieved The Reeve also pointed out that under the Parents' Maintainence Act a son or daughter having suf- ficient means is bound to provide for the maintainence of a depend- ant .parent. The Old Age Pension Act will not relieve a son or daugh- ter of this obligation unless they are unable to provide for the par- ent. 'Mr. Kenny also referred to the fact that a person with an income of $365 a year was not eligible and that the maximum pension amounted to $240 a year, and is to be reduced should a pensioner have an income of $125 a year, so that the pensioner's income and the amount of the pension should not receive more than $365 a year. When applications have been re- ceived before the first of Novem- ber, 1929, and the pensions have been granted, the pensions will be paid thereafter monthly by check.

SPEEDERS WILL FAGE CHARGES Brock Street | Residents Re- port Numbers to the Police (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, August 1.--Two motorists will shortly appear in police court to answer charges of speeding on Brock Street S. It is enly a short time ago that complaints were made by residents op this street of the tend- ency of many motorists to break the law in this regard and the citi- zens were informed that they could take the numbers of the cars of the offending drivers and together with other information report them to the police. As a result the two numbers have been reported and Chief Gun- son had laid the charges that will bring the alleged speeders before the magistrate, WHITBY PERSONALS Mr. and Mrs. Charles Ross of New York are visiting the form- er's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Geo.

MUSIC CONTESTS Will Take Part in Class C Competition for Brass Bands (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, August 1.--Formal entry has been made by the Whitby citi- zens band into the C Class competi- tion for brass bands to be held in September at the Canadian National Exhibition. The entry form has been mailed by the secretary, Mr, Frank Poothe, to the officials in charge of the competition. The band, which numbers twenty-four musicians are practicing hard and holding two re- hearsals a week and are reported to be making splendid progress. The contest piece, "Reminescences of the Opera" by Rimmer, constitutes many difficult and beautiful passages from 4 number of familiar operas and it is understood the local musical or- ganization plays the number in ex- cellent style. : Last year it will be remembered the band entered the contest and was a close contender for the prize money being only a point and a half below one of the winners, All this year the band has been practicing faith- fully and those in charge as well as the bandmaster feel that this season the chances of the band figuring in the prize list are much increased. ROVERS READY FOR GAME WITH CHEVS. (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, August 1.--Last night the girls' soft ball team held a strenu- ous practice at the town park in pre- paration for the Friday evening in Oshawa with the "Chevys." Although the Rovers were defeated in the first game of the second round when they met the Malleables in a ten inning contest last Friday night, the girls are far from being disheartened. The local team are playing a good brand of soft ball and no doubt by good tight playing and by improv- ing their team batting they can make the leaders of the league step to hold their place. The game to- morrow evening between the two old rivals promises tuo be a keen con- test and no doubt many of the Whit- by fans will accompany the team to Oshawa to cheer their favorites on to their best efforts. FOUNDATION LAID FOR NEW GARAGE (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, August 1.--The founda- tion of the new garage and auto show rooms, which are being erected on the corner of Ash and Dundas streets by Threadgold Bros. has been started and the work is reported to be progressing favorably. The gar- age and showrooms are to be of modern construction and design and will provide for show windows to extend all along the front of the building on the. Kingston highway. The building is being erected on the cite of the old open air skating rink and sinice this spot has long been an cye sore to the community the new. building will greatly add to the attractiveness of this section of the town. Sir John Adams, the noted English educator said at a dinner in New York: Our young people admit that their morals are rather--er--modernist, but they lay all the blame on their fathers and mothers, They account for this queer attitude with many plausible reasons. All the, same, they remind me somehow of little Jimmy. "Little Jimmy, against his father's warming, started to climb up on a table. * 'Don't. climb up there," his fath- er said, 'If you do, you'll fall, sure,' "But Jimmy climbed up, and then down he fell. "As his father lifted him to his fect and wiped the tears from his eyes Jimmy bawled: i "Its all your fault--boo, boo -- for not catching me. Why didn't you catch me? You knew 1 was going to fall--you said so.' " OSHAWA FOLKS By W. H. Karn PLL BET HE'S RINGING ' ME SOME DOG 1SCUIT/ =~ rr = = Fine cigars, smokeables of all him and for her.

NEXT THE POST OFFIO KARN THE DRUGGIST FOR SERVICE BLERIOT PREDICTS AVIATION'S FUTURE | Famous Flier Discusses Feat After Lapse of Twenty Years IS GREAT OPTIMIST Big Celebration Planned for Anniversary of First Channel Flight Paris, July 16--""Twenty years after!" ' Louis Bleriot stood beside his own magnificent Bleriot biplane at Le Bourget Field and smilingly watched a huge air liner comfortably carrying 20 passengers come down from a flight of less than three hours from London, The pilot and his assistants strolled away umoticed, the steward polished up plates and glasses after serving refreshménts during the voy- age and the passengers were hurried thmrough customs for a fast motor trip to the centre of the town, Only 20 years after, and if thé science of aviation has progressed this far in such a short time, what will my friend Charles Lindbergh see 20 years after his epic trans-Atlantic flight? The world must not be sur- prised if it sees the Lindbergh At- lantic lane as popular for air travel as is today the little course I covered 20 years ago." Bleriot's Epic Flight Louis Bleriot was reminded of his historic flight, one of the most ro- 'mantic in the history of aviation. On July 25, 1909, he flew from Calais to Dover and for the first time linked France and England by air. It took him only 45 minutes and today would seem like nothing for an aviation feat. But then that flight was as stupendous as the first $op across the Atlantic, It gripped the imagin- ation of the world, it shattered boun- daries and thoughtful men asked each other what the future had in store with a Bleriot in their midst, Louis Bleriot now prefers to look ahead, rather than back, although both France and Englan dare pre- paring fitting ceremonies in honor of the twentieth anniversary of his chan- nel flight. He still is a keen aviator and flies all over Europe in his pri- vate plane, He never has lost faith in the immense future of high-speed aerial transport and one of his great aims now is to see the Atlantic con- quered, thoroughly and practically, in the same way that the channel has been made a regular aerial highway. "Nothing can stop the airplane," he said. "It knows no boundaries and no clements to deeat it. Look what I was up against 20 years ago, with a flimsy little craft that could lift just one man. I could sce my objective ,only about 20 miles away, yet | had to wait upon the weather and the whims of my feeble motor. Folks laughed at me, but I think that even I, wita my faith, would have laughed at the suggestion of a Lind- bergh within my lifetime. "These things have come upon us swiftly, and | predict that greater events in air navigation will come even more swiftly, Lindbergh will be when I had the happiness to greet him here in Paris." In the designing office of the big aircraft works which Bleriot controls in France, plans are now being work- ed out for several interesting types o ftrans-Atlantic heavier-than-air ma- chines. . Planning Boat-Piane He is interested in a sort of big hybrid vessel, part ship and part air- plane. It would have a light-weight hull resembling somewhat that of a ship and driven by a. marine engine and an under-water screw. There also would be an arrangement of aero- engines and wings which would drop- into position above the hull, enabling the craft to take the air. In an emcr- gency the wings could be discarded and the machine proceed across the water under its own power. Bleriot has devoted his life to the progress of vaiation, as Lindbergh is doing now. There is mdfch of a paral- lel between the two men and their feats. At the time when Bleriot was making ready to attempt to fly across the channel, the English aviator, Latham, alsa was on the ground and there was keen rivalry between the two. The early morning of July 29, 1909, was clear and the air calm. Bleriot got up early and was off before Latham was awake. In landing on a hillside above Dover his plane was partially wrecked and he was slightly injured, Latham took off in pursuit, but came down in the sea and was rescued, Although many thousands greeted Lindbergh when he arrived in Paris, not a person was on the ground when Bleriot came down. The city was still asleep; even newspaper men and photographers. But fame quickly came to the gallant Frenchman and his glory was never dimmed. On the twentieth anniversary of his flight, air squadrons of both France and England will be mobilized in ccle- bration. Bleriot himself will fly his old course in his modern machine and will be escorted over and back across the channel by the finest ma- chines available. "Naturally it will be a happy day for me," said Bleriot, "but. I wish Lindbergh could be here. It will be the sort of celebration he should be a part of." .

J. M. Harvey as the new rector of Cadeleigh. . The Rev. G. H. Davis had 'been chosen by the parishioners as the new incumbent, but the bishop re- fused to induct him, At the induction service the sex- ton, W. Kemp, and a friend, tolled the bells and helped generally, but Mr. Kemp said frankly that he was a "blackleg" at heart. "My sympathy," he said, "is with those who have resided becayse the bishop appointed Mr. Harvey when we had petitioned him to get Mr. Davies of Swansea, to whom the liv- ing had first been offered by the patron, J The church was unusually full. Many people had come from outside the parish out of curiosity. None of the local church council put in an appearance and the duties. were car- ried out by the Rev. C. Buckingham Pollard, whe had been appointed by the bishop to act. The bishop made references to the situation in his induction address, but mainly from the legal point of view, I asked why he had advised against Mr. Davies being given the living, which is in the patronage of Mrs, Squires. He said: "There is no mystery, Tt| simply amounts to this, I-de not think Mr, Davies is suitable for the parish, "F think he is a very good man, and have recommended hini to other liv- ings and shall do so again. But I think it is a case where Mr. Harvey is more suitable than Mr. Davies for Cadeleigh. " "There is not the slightest reflec- tion on Mr. Davies. It is a pity that Cadeleigh church people have taken this course, because it is not calcu- lated to do any good. "I have endeavored in my address to pointout the three courses that are open to a bishop. 1 explained that I may refuse altogether an institu- tion, in which case there is a remedy at law, This is a very rare thing and is known as a case of duplex querela, "My predecessor, Bishop Philpotts, did refuse Mr, Gorham and at one time it looked 'as if the Church of England would fall into a schism over that refusal, as the archbishop sup- ported Mr. Gorham and instituted him, "Then, secondly, a bishop might re- quire a man to pass an examination such as he passes in ordination. This again is rare. The third course is the one | have taken and [ have drawn particular attention to this at the service. "A bishop may make friendly repre- sentations to the patron that he or she should make another appoint- ment. If the patron persists, then under the present law the man is appointed, but under the patronage measure now before the church as- sembly the bishop may adhere to his objection and it may be put before what would be called a board of patronage. "This would mean that the merits and demerits of a clergyman would have to be discussed, and this might . ---- i. A a al i tl lal @ LL, A a - be a very unpleasant thing for every- body concerned, "This measure, however, is not yet law, and T don't think it will become law, Jf only because of that provi- sion, In his address the bishop said that refusal of a living did not always hurt'a man, "I think," he said, "it was Dr. Roche Ditchfield who said that he had been twice refused, but it had done him so little harm that | he afterwards became a bishop." After asking the parishioners to as- sist the new rector, the bishop said: I take a great deal of trouble, not only in this case but in all cases, to try and see if I can perform efficient- ly the duty of selecting the best man for the parish which best suits him. "I have taken the greatest trouble in regard to this parish." HE RECOGNIZED HIM A connoisseur of paintings saw in a second-hand dealer's shop the por- trait of an admiral in full uniform. He offered the dealer $250 for it, but the latter declined to sell under $375. As neither would give way, the pic- ture remained in the shop, A short time afterward the con- noisseur saw the picture hanging in the dining-room of a house he hap- pened to be visiting. "Hello! What have you here?" he said to his host. The latter replied that the portrait had been bequeathed to him, and added: "It is the portrait of one of Nelson's admirals; an ancestor of ours," "Was he indeed?" commented the connoisseur.
