THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1 929 PREM. FERGUSON ATBOWNANVILLE TRAINING SCHOOL (Continued from page 1) combined with academic and voca- tional training. It is a national problem to salvage boys that have become misdirected, and put them in a position to become useful citi- + zens, To Be Enlarged "This school wil be even further enlarged. Boys are coming in - daily, As soon as conditions war- rant it, we will establish other in- stitutions of a similar character, to branch out and cover more ad- equately the needs of the Prov- ince." One of the things that particu- larly pleased him, the premier stated, was the influence being ex- ercised by the school in inducing the boys to turn to agriculture as an occupation. Of the 140 grad- uates of the school, 60 have taken up farming as their occupation. Nothing else would do so much to strengthen the fibres of a mation, he said, as the strengthening of a love of nature. "The boys who are being trained here are getting a help and direction that they would get in few of the public schools of Ontario," the premier declared. One of the best things done at the school, was in teaching the boys to be thrifty, said the Prem- ier. The pay system had been in- stituted, allowances being made to each boy for the work they do. If the boys Igse articles of clothing, or damage them, they have to re- new them out of the allowances. This taught them at once the value of thrift and the value of careful- ness, Praise For Staff The success of the school, the premier declared, was largely due to. the staff. Each teacher, from Principal Reaman down, was per- sonally interested in every boy, and made special efforts to get results from the boys. Premier Ferguson referred also to the Domestic Relations courts that had been set up, in Ontario declaring that they were doing a great work in readjusting difficulties of marrirAd life by hring- ing the husband wife into ' mony again, by mutual consent and co-operation, This system was hav- ing such good results that an ef- fort would be made to have it spread everywhere in the Prov- ince should the Ferguson adminis- tration continue in office, the Prémier stated. The trend was to prevent offences rather than pun- ish them, said the premier, refer- ring to an amendment passed at last session of the Tegislature al- lowing magistrates to place offend- ers on probation without the necessity of entering a conviction, which had formerly been réquired. Thanks to Club Premier Ferguson also extended thanks to the Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs. 'of «Sntagie Abich had as. ie a iiaae.. "Nest of Blue Goose i is Discovered i in Arctic and Photographed for First Time The first pictures of a blue goose's 1 nest and eggs ever to be taken or published are printed here. To ob- tain the distinction of being the first white man ever to gaze upon the nesting blue goose, J. D. Soper, Can- adian government naturalist and ex- plorer, went into the Arctic over a year ago and spent 'the winter and several subsequent months all alone in an uninhabited: and desolate part of Baffin Island, the great expanse of land, rock and snow which strad- dles the Arctic circle northerly from Hudson strait. By so doing he is able to give ornithologists data upon a question on which previously they have been able only to conjecture; namcly, where the blue goose nested and raised its young. These birds spend the winters in Mexico, With the approach of summer they mi- grate from their near-tropical haunts to the Arctic. Somewhere there, it was apparent, they must make their. nests and haich their eggs. * CANADIAN SCIENTIST SOLVES ORNITHOLOGICAL MYSTERY BY SPENDING WINTER ALL ALONE IN DESOLATE PART OF BAFFIN ISLAND man _ hdd. ever discovered their sub- polar nesting ground- until the Cana- dian naturalist solved the Piddle this summer by his sojourn in the north, Mr. Soper, who previously had spent three years in the Arctic at a stretch and who was the first white man ever to cross Baffin Island and return But Ak recently reached Sydney, N.S, aboard the sealing ship, Beothic, bringing .with him the pictures re- produced ABOVE.

Elmore Reaman, princi- pal of the school, welcomed the people who attended the fair, espe- cially the members of the Rotary and Kiwanis clubs from many parts in Ontario. The school had been enlarged during the past year from an accommodation for 80 to being able to accommodate 200 boys, he said, extending thanks to various individuals that had made dona- tions to the school. H. C. Schoi- field, Toronto, chairman of the Boys' Welfare Board of the Prov- ince, managing the school, was chairman of the meeting, which was held in the auditorium of the new school building. Presentation Made The presentation of the Rotary Gymnasium and Swimming Pool, a magnificent new building, was made to the Province by Charles Buchanan, governor of the 27th Rotary District. The gymnasium will bear a bronze tablet with the Rotary emblem and these words: "This building presented by the Rotary Clubs of Ontario, 24th of September, 1929." The building was formally accepted by the Premier. Greetings were brought from Wm. Cairns, of the Toronto Rotary Club; George Gillespie of the Pet- erboro club; Harry Balbarrie, of the Ottawa Club and D. 'R. Mor- rison of the Bowmanville Club. Re- sponse was made by Dr. Reaman.

BRAGG Keen Discussion of Policies of Leaders in Election Campaign "In view of the fact that the principles for which the Prohibition Union stand have been clearly out- lined and submitted to the candi- dates of both political parties--and in view of the fact that M. J. El- liott, Conservative candidate has stated that he could not sign his name to the pledges required by the Prohibition Union--and in view of the fact that W. J. Bragg, Liberal candidate has without hesitation signed his name agreeing to carry out our program; be it therefore resolved that as a prohibition con- vention we pledge our undivided support in this election to W. J. Bragg." This resolution was passed yes- terday afternoon at a meeting of the Durham County Prohibition Union in the town hall at Orono, The meeting opened with the presi- dent, H. G. Macklin, Tyrone, in the chair, and he noted that at one po- litical meeting it was stated that clections were not won by prayer, but he was still old-fashioned en- ough to believe that this was a help and therefore called upon Rev, J. U. Robbins, of Bowmanville, to start the deliberations with a pray- er, President's Address The president opened his re- marks with the reading of a letter from the general secretary of the prohibition union which the aims of that body as adopted by the executive in regard to the present election. In remarking on these aims, Mr. Macklin stated that the union expressed dissatisfaction with both the Conservative and Liberal attitude to the temperance question and especially the Ilquor Control Act that he considered =a stop backward in the solving of this perplexing question. He also criticized the passive attitude and lack of interest displayed by Mr. Sinclair in his manifesto concern- ing temperance. It was their duty, said the presi- dent, to support any candidate that expressed himself against 'the wets and Mr. Ferguson" and as there was no Progressive candidate in the field in Durham County, the elector should register their votes for Mr, Bragg, who had signed the pledges and with the approval of his.leader had agreed to enforce any decree that came up from time to time for the betterment of the liquor situation. The president told of his interview with Mr, El- liott and how that candidate had agreed to vote on any temperance measure that his. leader, Mr. Fer- guson brought up in the house. Condemns I. C. A, Commenting on whether prohl- bition should be a political question the president stated that it would be in politics for good as long as the men behind the liquor traffic had the money to spend on the fur- therance of their objects. He dub- bed the L.C.A. as what was suppos- ed to be advanced temperance leg- islation but was in reality a "pro- gressive piece of booze legislation." "There is danger in receiving revs onue by the sale of liguor and this eight million: dollars profit of the government would possibly develop in the liquor .controlling the gov- ernment." . "People in Toronto need not think that temperance people were to be chloriformed. This blot must be wiped from the escutcheon of outlined | this province," the speaker continu- ed. He called on his hearers to face the issue fairly and squarely and urged them that the present was the best time to act. In con- clusion he said that he had not engaged a speaker as he thought it better to talk over the local prob- lems by themselves. Manifesto Signed Before being seated he read the manifesto of the Ontario Prohibi- tion Union which read as follows, and which the Liberal candidate had signed. "As a candidate for the Ontario Legislature in the electoral district of Durham at the impending gen- eral election. "I hereby declare that if elected I will support the temperance leg- islative program set forth by the Ontario Prohibition .Union as be here stated and that 1 will confer and co-operate with other members of the Legislature who take a simi- lar position in devising ways and means of making sald program ef- fective and that whenever neces- gary 1 will act independently of my political party to promote these ends. ""(1) The passing of an act pro- viding that no brewery or distillery shall manufacture or sell alcoholic liquors in the province without a license from the provincial govern- ment and the submission of this act to the Privy Council to test the au- thority of the province over the manufacture, "(2) The passing of an act pro- hibiting the manufacturing of bev- erage alcohol within the province of Ontario to the extent. of their powers thercof to come into opera- tion when approved by a majority vote of the electors ascertained by a properly conducted plebiscite or referendum, "(3) In case of the adoption of a prohibitary law---the making of the necessary residue of the, manu- facture and sales of alcohol "for in- dustrial, scientific, medicinal and sacramental purposes a government monopoly. v "Signed at Orono, Sept. 22, 1929, "W.

It would be absolutely 'necessary for them to thoroughly organize to carry this election and support the candl- date who had signed their ultima- tum. He was once, he stated, a strong Conservative and still had his own views but he would vote Liberal at the polls this time on principal alone and that principle was the abolition of the liquor traf- fic. Neither party had a policy in this respect that really suited them but they would have to vote for BOWMANVILLE LOYAL TRUE BLUES Will hold a dance at Genes Hall, Courtice TO-NIGHT AT 8 O'CLOCK Everybody Welcome I SE AM Now CE Bury A Delightful Breakfast Food Sold by Karns Drug Store, .. b. Mitcneu, F. W. Thompson and Jury & Lovell, the one that came nearest to their aims. He gave credit to the Con- servativee members who forsook their party on the liguor issue and praised them for their convictions. He was convinced that the L.C.A. was a great mistake and that a better measure could be produced for the control of this evil, W. T. R. Preston W. T. R. Preston, of Port Hope, was the next to give his views and stated in no uncertain terms what his opinion on the Ferguson enact- ment which was claimed to be a temperance measure was. He felt sure that with the forcing of thelr ideas total prohobition could be in vogue within two months. "Never before has the issue been so clearly defined between parties ag it was at this election." He was firmly of the opinion that Mr. Ferguson was straight and honest, but was on the wrong tracks in the solving of the liquor business. Mr. Preston com- plimented the Liberal leader on the promise of a referendum and stat- ed that with two parties, the Lib- erals and Progressives, which was a chance of two to one, the union should receive some recognition at the polls this time. Several other matter and one lady, not satisfied with promises of the Liberal lead- er, said they must vote for the less- er of the two evils. There was a lengthy discussion on the wording of the resolution which was finally adopted between Mr. Meldrum and the Rev. Mr. Sisco, of Port Hope, with the former's version winning in the end. The meeting closed with the singing of the doxology at six 'o'clock. speakers gave their views in the BURGLARS ENTER AND ROB GARAGE AT NEWCASTLE Window Was fas Retioved And Cash Register Contain- ing $6.50 Stolen Burglars broke info the New- castle garage on Monday night and stole the cash register which con- tained $6.50 in silver. The proprie- tor Mr. C. E. Hoar informed the Times that he was awakened at 4.45 am. by a man who was on his way to work and as informed that one window on the west side of the building had heen taken out, He then investigated and found what has been previously stated. One other window had been tampered with. and the in- truders had evidently: tried to jim- my the door also. The register. was recovered about one mile west of Newcastle later in the day by some farmers who reported the matter to the chief of police in Bowmanville. Provincial Constable was called from Cobourg and is investigating the case and he be- lieves he told Mr. Hoar that it is the work of a gang that has been working in the neighborhood for some time. It is, not many weeks since another store in the village was robbed of several hundred dollars worth of goods and the work on both jobs was of a sim- ilar character, The provincial police are now working 'on the case and expect to bring the cul: prit or culprits to book in the near future.
