THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, JANUARY 27, 1930 CITVENSHIPIS URGED, DRRANANS : {Continged Jrom, Page 3) natural ritish subjects, it wa stated. $1b) §. yop H. Kostur was. chairman of the meeting, and Willian Rvehlo the secretary. The first address was given by Mr. Rycido. who urgea the necessity for the Ukranians to become Dritish citizens. M, Petrewsky, well-known here as the author of the first novel in anlan ever published in North merica, made a strong plea for , more interest among his country- men in the local, provincial [and federal "affairs. He stated 'that Ukranians constituted the third largest national group in Canada, and should consequently share a wroportionate responsibility in the uffairs of the government. Advantages of Citizenship Advantages of naturalization "Taking into consideration the fact that there is a tendency in the English-speaking press to dis criminate against British subjects of non-British origin, designating them by the general term of 'for- eigners' irrespective of the fact that they may be Canadian born | or may for many years have been | British subjects; "Therefore this' mass meeting 'of citizens of Ukranian origin in Osh- awa unanimously resolves to peti- tion. the . English speaking press and the Canadian people as a whole to refrain in the future from apvlying this 'improper term to their fellow citizens, A man who is now a British subject {8 no longer uo foreigner in this country." ny : i si i NO SETTLEMENT were pointed out by Mr, Hall, who also outlined the procedure neces. sary for the taking out of citizen- ship vapers, He reminded his aual- ence.that a British subject was a Dritish subject all over the world, and cited the protection that Bri- tain provided for her people. A British subject could more raadil secure a position in Canada, and had" the right to vote and sft wn parliament, He sald that he was pleased to see the Ukranians tak- ing' sufficient interest in civic af- fairs to place an aldermanic can- didate in the field in the last muni- cipal election. Although he was de- feated, he might not have been had a larger number of the Ukranians been naturalized. It was fair that they should have a representative in the city council, he declared. Ii Rev. Lukas Standret, Presbyter- ian minister among the Ukranians ||| in this city, also addressed the fi gathering. ii Resolution Passed le The meeting by a standing vote passed the following resolution, which was moved by Teodor Mucha and seconded by Ernie Clinyk: 1 The Goodness of Beef YET REACHED BY TOWN AND FARMERS Council's New Offer Re- jected-- Door Still Open for a Settlement A new offer of a tax exemption of seven and a half mills, based on the assessment of 1929 as con- firmed by the county judge, with a five year agreement, on the un- derstanding the town would apply to the Ontario Legislature at fis next session for a private hill vall- dating said offer, was made by the Town Council on Friday cvening to the farmers who own farm lands in the town of Whitby, The council held a special meet- ing to confer with the farmers, and the latter were well represented. The new offer, which much to the council's regret was rejected and Reeve Jackson outlined when the conference opened, made with the object of finally settling the Alspute of long standing between the town and the farmers, and with i the hope that all owners of farm lands in the town would 'he Indue- | od to remain, as the council did not wish to lose one of them, The council's original offer to the form- ers was an oxemntion of 6.6 miils, the maximum allowed by the etat- CL | est | throat and chest Tins of 4 and 10 Cubes 4.0 VICKS | ILI ETRY A.

After the council had gone into committee of the whole, leeve Jackson, who was in the chair, out- lined the council's desire for a quick and satistactory settlewent, 'the reeve pointed out that council was willing to forget the past, auu its sole object was to be fair to the farmers and make them an offer wish it was felt they. should ac cept, i On the suggestion of the farm- ers, through Mr, F, H. M, Irwin, they were allowed over an hour to consider the offer of settlement. The Council withdrew to the Town Clerk's office while the farmers held their meeting, When the council returned to the council chamber, Mr. Irwin read a resolution, passed by a majority of the farmers, accepting the council's offer of seven and a half mills and a five year agreement, but. on the 1928 instead of the 1929 assess- ment, a term of acceptance being that the rights of these who had applied to the Rallway Board for permission to leave the town would not be prejudiced thereby. Council took this Jatter clause to mean that the farmers who had applied for annexation to the town- ship would still press for the judg- ment of the Rallway Board, also that all of the farmers were not agreeable to the new offer submit. ted. The attitude of the council was that the new offer must be ac- cepted by all of the farmers, other- wise it would be withdrawn, Mr, Irwin contended that the farmers had not understood before they went into conference that the offer was to be accepted by all of them, and for this reason they had conferred at a disadvantage. Reeve Jackson, however, read the letter which had been sent out to all of the farmers, and contended that it was clear that counell's in- tention was to déal with all of the farmers as a body, with the hope of reaching a settlement and avoid- Ing any further proceedings befor: the Rallway Loard. |arranced. During the discussion which fol- lowed the announcement of the de- | cision of the farmers, the assessor | announced that the difference be- | tween the 1928 and 1928 assess- | ment was nine thousand dollars, | Some of the farmers felt that it | would be cheaper fo rthe town to | grant them this further concession | than to pay the cost of a private | bill before the Legislature, | It was the unanimous and ex- | pressed opinion of the council that the new offer was a most generous | one, and one which should be ac cepted... In all fairness to other taxpayers in tke town who were now groaning under a heavy bur- den of taxation, council felt that it could go nb further. The door for a final settlement, however, is not ghut, for the farm- ers by council's conrent decided tu hold a further conference at which council's offer would be reconsider- ed.

The rest of the story of Lady Mann's work in directing salvage operations came from other mem- bers of the house staff, Forced down from the attie floor wher the fire had gained terrific head and realizing that the house was doomed, she turned her efforts to salvaging personal eilects and family treasures.
