THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, } forts to Revive Live Wire Shock Victim Were Unsuccess WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1929 Proposal That Scholarships Be Established For Pupils Ot the Schools of Oshawa Interesting Suggestion Is Put Forward and Discussed at Meeting of the Oshawa Board of Education NO DECISION WAS REACHED ON MATTER Rev. Father Bench Expresses Doubt as to the Value of |, Some Scholarships and Prizes A suggestion that scholarships be given by the Board of Education in the Oshawa Collegiate and public schools, was advanced at the Board meeting Monday night by Trustee Dr. Donevan, His idea, Dr. Donevan said, was to provide a little definite encourage- ment, showing that the Board was interested in the individual pupils in the Oshawa schools. Chairman of the Board A. W. Bell remarked that the idea was a good one, Trustee Vickery said that the sug- gestion was good, but suggested that, since large expenditures faced the Board at this time, the setting up of scholarships be deferred for a time. Trustee Rev, Father Bench, on be- ing asked his opinion of the ques- tion, said that he favored scholar- 'ships if they were used in the right way, but that he doubted the value of some scholarships and prizes, They were worth while, he said, if they stimulated interest in the class as a whole, but there was a ten- dency, when a scholarship was an- nounced, for the race to narrow down early in the year to fwo or three scholars who were conceded by the rest of the class to have the best opportunity of winning it. "Many of the pupils 'who apply themselves the best, cannot win scholarships. Others are 'only a flash in the pan, but they flash at the right time to'win their class prizes, then fade out in the race of life and are left far behind {by their steadier companions, The whole question of scholarships should be treated with care," Father "Bench declared. Trustee Donevan explained that he had in mind particularly aiding onc particular type of boy--the boy who + stands pretty well up in his class, who was bright and intelligent, but who came from a poor family, and sas soon as he passed the entrance ¥or was 16 years of age; was forced to go to work. Something should be done to enable these boys to con- tinue on in school and receive a bet- ter education, if it was at all possible, be sai The matter was left in abeyance or the present, by the Board. ADVENTISTS G0 10 CONVENTION; COLUMBUS, OHIO Several From Oshawa Col- lege Are Planning to Attend The Seventh-day Adventists of Canada, who have their headquarters 'in Oshawa, and also maintain 25 churches in Ontario, will be very prominently represented by a corps of their leading dignitaries at the world-wide convention of clergymen and other high officials, that will be held' in Columbus, Ohio, September 24 to October 3, when every state in the Union, every province in Canada, iand several of the foreign countries swill send delegates.

C, Moffett, president of the Eastern Canadian Union Confer- ence, and will go to join in thrash- be out problems concerning the fur- her advancement of Oshawa Junior College, their denominational institu- tion here, progress in the Union and assisting in the appropriation of at least five million dollars for the ad- vancement of the church in foreign lands during 1930. Those 'who will accompany Presi- dent Moffett from the Eastern Cana- dian Union, all of whom are frequent visitors to Oshawa, include: F, W Stray, Moncton, New Brunswick, pre- sident Maritime Conference; M. V. Campbell, Toronto, president of the Ontario Conference; W. H. Howard, Westmount, Quebec, president of the St. Lawrence Conference; H. N. 'Williams, St. Johns, president New- foundland Mission; and Miss Amy Frank, secretary-treasurer of the Union Conference. .

The check, of course, did not in- clude the untold thousands of Americans who visited Canada as day tourists or who entered the country by trains. Z VAGRANT SENT T0 REFORMATORY Man Convicted of . Begging Breaks Down When Sentence Passed Samuel' Davis, no address, who asts a record of having spent prac- tically the whole of the past eight years in various jails throughout the province, was sentenced to three months determinate and two years indeterminate at the Ontario Refor- matory, Guelph, by Magistarte Hind today, when he was convicted on a charge of vagrancy. Davis who pleaded not guilty, had been found begging on King street several days ago. The majority of convictions which had been registered against him were for vagrancy . He told the court that he was willing to work if he could be given a chance. He also claimed that while he had been detained in a jail at Perth he had been badly abused by his fellow prisoners. Where's your home?" Magistrate Hind asked. "In Toronto," the accused replied. He could not give the court any ad- dress however as he had not been home for five years. His Worship thought that if Davis were removed to Guelph they might teach him some useful trade so that he could earn a living. "Why didn't they send me to Guelph before?" wailed the prisoner who seemed to be anxious to keep out of jail. Davis immediately burst out crying when sentence was passed and he had to be removed from the court room by a constable. His shouting and wailing could be heard as he was led downstairs to the cells. As it seemed impossible to quiet him he was immediately transferred to the county jail at Whitby. HARBOR WORK 15 LIKELY TO BEGIN WITHIN A WEEK OF REPRESENTATIVE COMPANY IN CITY YESTERDAY Equipment for the Work is Now on Its Way to Oshawa Work on the dredging of the chan- nel at Oshawa harbor is expected to be started within a week, according to Mr. Pratt, a representative of the Canadian Dredging and Construction Company, of Midland, the firm which is to do the work, who was in the city yesterday making arrangements for the commencement of operations. The dredges to be used in the oper- ations, said 'Mr. Pratt, are now on the way to Oshawa from Prince Ed- ward Island, where they have been SEEK PROPERTY BEHIND CENTRE STREET SCHOOL Several Pro Be T y Matters To en Up With Council The Board of Education Monday night neusered fe business adminis- trator, C. H. R. Fuller, to confer with Mayor T, B. Mitchell and city clerk F. E. Hare, regarding the acquisition of further property at the rear of Centre school. Several other matters will also be taken up with the city council, A further block of property has been considered necessary at the rear of Centre school, to add to the play- ground area, for some time, Several efforts have been made to secure it from Mr, Hind, the owner, who lives in California, and from whom the city council recently had to expro- priate land to extend John street across the creek, The Board's course of action will be decided upon fol- lowing the conference between the business administrator, the mayor and the city clerk. The Board decided to convey to the city the . small triangle owned by the board, at the inter- section of Gordon street and Simcoe street, near Cedardale school, provid- ing the city construct sidewalks from Simcoe street to sidewalks on Gor- don srteet, : A request will also be forwarded to the city council for a sidewalk on the west side of Ritson road, from Ritson road school to Olive avenue, as the absence of a sidewalk is causing considerable inconvenience to the scholars of that school. The chairman of the management committee of the Board was instruct- ed to confer with the proper commit- tee of the city council, in order that proper adjustment may be made be- tween the city and the Board of Edu- cation on the salary of the school attendance officer, A. L. W. Smith, who is now juvenile court officer, WORK STARTED ON SKINNER FACTORY Workmen Now Busy on Some of Preliminary Operations. The first steps towards the start of building operations for the erec- tion of the Skinner Company's fas- tory on Simcoe Street South have now been undertaken. The tool shed and workers' shack has been erected on the property, and a number of workers have been employed on dig- ging operations for the past two days. It is expected that the work of con- struction will be in full swing as soon as the materials can be assembled on the ground, probably within a very few days' time. engaged on some extensive opera- tions. The pontoons and pipe and other equipment, he said, are now on their way to the city by rail. When the work starts, the harbor front will be a hive of activity. Track extensions to the scene of op- erations will be necessary to trans- port the equipment to the desired lo- cations, and thirty carloads of coal will be required for the dredging vessels and. apparatus. These details are now being attended to, and it is expected that the officials who will be in charge of the actual operations will arrive here early next week. CITY AND DISTRICT NEWS | PRESS TENT AT FAIR The headquarters of The Oshawa Daily Times and the Whitby Gazette and Chronicle at the Oshawa Fair will be found in a tent located imme- diately east of the sccretary's office. Subscribers and rcaders of these papers will be welcomed at the press tent while visiting the Fair. WIRES CATCH FIRE When two hydro wires became crossed near the intersection of Bruce and Charles street last night causing the insulation to catch on fire, the residents of the district called the fire department. The bri- gade responded but could do nothing but allow the wires to burn until they finally fell to the ground. The hydro department was notified and linemen were on the scene immediately. FIREMEN ASSIST DOCTOR Members of the fire department assisted yesterday in maintaining artificial respiration with the body of Ernest Yardy who was electrocuted near the corner of Albert street and First: avenue. When Yardy was brought to the hospital four firemen worked with his body under the direction of Dr. R. E. McMullen un- til they were relieved by hydro em- ployees. SECURE LARGE CONTRACTS Two large glazing contracts in To- ronto have been awarded to the W. E. Phillips Company of this city, according to recent announcements.

Little Miss M. Pearce, who has been in Canada 10 weeks, brought to The Times office a garter snake which she had found at Prestonvale tour- ist camp Sunday. She said that, in England, she had never seen a snake except in a zoological gardens, and that she was going to take this onc back to the Old Country when she returned in a short time, to have it exhibited in her school there. FIRE IN FACTORY Spontaneous combustion was cit- ed by Fire Chief "W. Elliott as the cause of a small fire which broke out in a stock bin on the second floor of the main building of Fit- tings Ltd., Bruce street, shortly af- ter nine o'clock this: morning. The fire brigade responded to an alarm which had been turned in from hox 21 situated in the factory yard. No difficulty was encountered in ex- tinguishing the blaze. Beyond filling the stotk room with smoke, the fire caused little damage. Painters who had heen at work had stuffed some benzine soaked rags in one of the bins, and it is though spontaneous combus- tion resulted from the rags. Expressing his belief in gatherings of farm people with the business men of the cities, and stating, out of a ripe experience that the boy on the farm had a lonely life, and needed the sympathy and kindly fnterest of the men of the cities, Dr, G, I. Chris- tie, president of the Ontario Agricul- tural College, delivered an inspiring address at the luncheon of the Ki- wanis Club of Oshawa, held in the hospital tent at Alexandra Park, at noon today. The meeting was one of an unusual character, for the Kiwan- ians had as their guests a large num- ber of junior farmers taking part in the competitions sponsored by the club at the air, and their fathers, It was this fact which led Dr. Christie to compliment the club on its action in seeking to give a stimulus to the farm boys of the district, and to voice the need for a closer understanding and relationship between the people of the farms and the cities and towns, A. J. Parkhill, president of the club, presided over the meeting and wel- comed the guests, and the speaker of the day was introduced by Major R. B. Smith, of Columbus, who spoke in terms of the highest praise of the achievements of Dr, Christie, Value of Agriculture Commenting on the Kiwanis motto, "We Build," Dr. Christic held this up as a model for the young farm boys, and portrayed to them the part which agriculture played in building up the industrial life of the Dominion, Pointing to the volume of agriculture products of Ontario, am- outing to half a billion dollars last year, he said this new wealth played a great part in keeping the towns and cities alive. He also referred to the fact that the reduced crop in the West this year has industrial men in Dr. G. I. Christie, of 0.A.C. Made Strong Appeal on Behalt Of Young People on the Farms Speaker at Luncheon of Kiwanis Club, Held at the Fair Grounds, Stresses the Necessity of Closer Relationship Between the Farmers and the Urban People a mood of uncertainty and worry for some weeks, on account of the fear that it would reduce the buying pow- er of farmers. ortunately, however, the smaller wheat crop had created higher prices, so that the cash values of the products of the farm would be as great of greater than last year, thus giving the farmers as high a buying power. Help of Small Fairs Dr. Christie then referred to the va- lue of small fairs as means of edu- cation for the farm boys, so as to acquire all the knowledge possible regarding the production of better live stock and better crops. ; A Community Institution "You must think of the Oshawa Fair as a community institution for the people here," said Dr. Christie. "It exists primarily as an exhibition to benefit the boys and girls of the farms, and not as a place of amuse- ment, The Oshawa: Fair has a great opportunity, but to serve that pur- pose and to be worth while it must be centred here, and kept as.a com- munity institution." In closing, Dr. Christic strongly urged the boys to learn all they could from the small fairs and then, when' they were ready, to attend the Ontario Agricultural College, and secure the benefits of the experi- ments and research and the instruc- tion work done here, so that they could become better farmers. Thanks of the club to the speaker were gracefully tendered by W. J. Trick, while the thanks of the junior farmers and their fathers were ex- pressed in a brief address of appre- ciation by W. J. Croskery, the dist- rict agricultural representative for Ontario county. Oshawa merchants have some fery attractive exhibits at the Osh- awa Fair, which opened today.

This committee has been appointed by the Ontario Educational Association at the suggestion of Premier Ferguson, and the appointment of Mr. Farmer as a member is a tribute to the keen interest he has taken for years in educational affairs, In an interview with The Times, Mr.. Farmer gave some interesting in- formation regarding the reason for this committee, and its functions. "For some years," he said, "rural school trustees have been debating the merits of the township school board as a possible solution of some problems of rural education. Chief of these problems is the small school. The sponsors of township school boards felt that by co-operative ef- fort in a township, small schools, with five or less pupils, could be closed temporarily or permanently, as con- ditions required, and the pupils trans- Samuel Farmer, Port Perry Outlines Functions of the Educational Committee ported to another school. The second problem was to secure high school education for rural peo- ple without sending the pupils to ur- ban centres. Much Opposition "There has been in the debate, con- siderable opposition to the township school board; but no alternative has been suggested to solve these prob- lems and others which confront rur- al people in the matter of education. "The committee is to study the sit- uation fairly, secure accurate infor- mation as to existing conditions, and to suggest practical improvements in the rural educational System, Will Review Proposal "Naturally," said Mr, rer: "there will come up for review the proposal of the Minister of Educa- tion to put two years of High School studies in the Public Schools of On- tario. and two years of University work in High Schools. Some consid- eration will also be given as to the curriculum, as to the fitness of the present course of studies to meet ru- ral needs, HAS BEEN-READER OF NEWSPAPER FOR ABOUT 57 YEARS C. J. Horn of "of Orillia Pays His Annual Visit to Oshawa C. J. Horn, of Orillia, was an in- teresting visitor fo The Times offices yesterday. Mr, Horn, who is an old resident of the Oshawa district, pays a visit to this city about once a year, and always calls at The Times office to renew his subscription to the news paper. This year, he made a special point of expressing the pleasure which he and the members of his household enjoy in perusing the columns of The Times. "We appreciate very much the brightness of the news columns of the newspaper," he remarked, "and we would not be without it." Incidentally, Mr. Horn can claim to be one 'of the oldest readers of The Times, in point of continuity as a reader. He first subscribed to it, he said, away back about the year 1872, the year in which he was married, when, under the name of The On- tario Reformer, it was published by the late W. R, Climie, He has been that he has been a reader of the news paper for about 57 years, a record hard to beat, Although Mr. Horn will be 80 years old in November, he is still hale and hearty, and operates a fruit and ve- getable garden on the outskirts of Orillia. In his younger days, he lived near Harmony, but left there thirty- eight years ago to settle near Orillia, where he has lived ever since. ' In the course of the trial the judge turned to the negro lady on the stand and asked, "How old are you?" "I's seventy-three jedge." "Are you sure?" "Yass, suh." "Mandy, you don't look seventy- three." "I'se sure jedge." : After a few moments the trial was interrupted by Mandy. "Jedge, I's 'mistaken about my age being seventy- three, that's my bust . measure, suh." ¢ KEEPS THEM BUSY Thief: I hope you will be lenient with me, your worship, I have a good many dependent upon me for their support, Magistrate: Children?

Schooter had been convicted on a charge of reck- less driving and fined $20 and costs, as a result of an accident on the Kingston highway, near Thornton's Corners, last Sunday night, in which his car is said ot have cut in on a car driven by Edward Hemsworth, causing it to collide with a telephone pole. Magistrate Hind ordered that Schooter's car be impounded until he could arrange a settlement with Hemsworth for the damage to his machine, A satisfactory settlement was reached yesterday and the court commended Schooter for his frank- ness and fairness in giving evidence.

E. proved unsuccessful yesterday in reviving Ernest Yardy, fireman at the W_ E, Phillips Co. Ltd.,, who was electrocuted near the corner of Albert street and First avenue by a live hydro wire which had been blown down by a high wind. Yardy was unconscious when he was brought to the hos- pital but it was not. until after they had worked over his body for three hours that the doctor and his assistants finally gave up hope. His heart had ceased beating and it failed to respond to the treat- ment which wag administered, Unselfish Effort : Yesterday's fatal accident is said to have been the result of an unselfish effort on the part of Yardy to place the wire in a posi- tion where it would not endanger some children who were. playing close by. Apparently it had fallen just before he arrived at the spot for the hydro officials did not re- ceive any report of a break in the line until after the fatality occur- red. The wire was insulated but in picking it up the unfortunate man must have come in contact with the exposed end. He fell to the ground and as persons rushed to his side to pick him up he urged them not to touch his body. He then lapsed into unconsciousness. Fortunately in falling Yardy had come clear of the wire and it was with no difficulty that Iy» was picked up and removed to an am- bulance which had been called al- most immediately, Dr. McMullen stated today that death had been almost instantan- eous due to respiratory paralysis caused by shock.

After the body has been released for burial it will be shipped to Trenton where inter- ment will take place. The deceased was formerly a resident of Trenton but had been employed at the W_E, Phillips Co. for the last eight months, He is survived by hig wife and family residing in Trenton.
