UNWANTED LAND 13 COSTLY TO OWNER St. Lambert Resident Must Pay $960.60 Taxes on Property REFUSED AS GIFT Cannot Even Abandon Troublesome Lots Montreal, Feb, 10.--Even though the owner of a 'property 1s unable 10 sell it, cannot make use of it him- self and connot even give it away, he is still liable for accured taxes, it was decided by Mr. Justice Stackhouse last Friday in condemning R. S. Ln- gan to pay $960.60 to the City of St. Lambert. The property owner: de- clared that he had abandoned the property when he found he was un- able to dispose of it and no one would accept it as a gift and that in consequence: he was no longer liable for tages. The amount of $960.60 claimed by the city represented three years' ac- crued taxes. Mr. Justice Jtackhouse pointed out in his judgmen'. For the defendant, it was urged that pri- or to the taking of the action he had offered to donate the property to the corporation but the offer was declin- spending bro- Montreal, Feb. 10.--~More than 125 miles of highway around Montreal ate being kept clear of snow by the Provincial Government Highways De- partment, : This mileage 1s exclusive of the Quebec roads which are also being maintaiied by the Government, © Mr. Grafton exnlained that each municipality contributes $100 a mile towards the maintenance of the high- vray in its territory, and the Govern- ment pays the balance. Last year tae cost per mile amounted to $250, but that was a mild winter, and it is pected that that figure mdy be ex- ceeded this winter. Operations were somewhat delayed in some sections until Christmas this year on account of the delay in delivery of machinery and on account of the late decisions 'by the municipalities as to whether they wanted their roads kept open. ted. . GOOD CROWD SEES FOUR PLAYLETS BY The Little Th BY 'MICHAEL LITTLE THEATRE Bill Is One of Best Given by . . Littl: Theatre in Oshawa Those who attended the presen- tation of four one-act plays by the Oshawa Little Theatre in Roterv Hall, Saturday night, were not dis appointed but came away with the feeling that the Little Theatre is making great progress in its work. The bill was one of the best which has been given in the history of the Little Theatre movement in this city, in the opinion of many and it' provided that pleasing di- versity which cannot be obtained in a single drama of several acts. THe hall was well filled for the performance. "A Marriage Proposal," by An- ton Techekoff, with English version by Hilmar Baukhage and Bargett | H. Clarke, was the first play on the program and it provided the audi- ence. with much rollicking and wholesome mirth. The play requires some difficult acting and the parts were all very well taken. A. H. Power was Ste- pan Tchubukov, Mise Orona Find- ley, his daughter, Natalla Stepano- vna Tschubukov and Harold Smith, Ivan Vassiliyiteh Lomov, the young lover. Striking national cos- tumes were provided by .the St. George's Ukranian Soclety. "A Cradle Song" second play, "A Cradle Song," wtitten by Fritz Kreisler, famous Austrian violinist was a beautiful little gem and found a| warm response with the audience. The getting is simple, showing a Slavic mother in national costume watching over the cradle of her in- fant while she sings a sweetly | mournful lullaby telling of the death of the baby's father, while | in defense of his country. Mrs. | Mae Nicoll, as the mother, sang | most effectively and with fine | feeling. The violin and plano ac-| companiment by Donald Simpson and Doris Ainley was very good. Here again those in charge of cos- | tumes and properties showed their | talent in the stage arrangements. Trifles" An atmosphere of gloom, reliev- ed by naive humor, was provided | in the third play "Trifles" by Su-| San Glaspell, an American author. | The scene depicts the kitchen of a | New England farm house, in the | upstairs of which the farmer, John | Wright, has been found strangled in bed, and deals with the investi gation of the murder, his wife havt ing been taken to jail as she {is suspected. The play was well interpreted by the aétors and the different char- acters are shown in a strong light. H. Day, as Lewis Hale, is the typi- cal, law-abiding farmer, anxious to assist the authorities to the best of his ability. G. R. Holden does well as the big, geoff and somewhat pompous shéritf, while Al Kennedy acted well the part of an encrge- tie but officious county attorney. A difieult role was taken with suc- cess by Mrs. C. M, Mundy, who act- ed as Mrs. Hale. Katheryn Hez- zlewood gave a fine characteriza- tion of Mrs. Peters. "The Drums of Oude" The stage arrangements for "The Drums of Oude," by Austin Strong, the last but by no means least of the four plays, were elaborate and added a real touch of India to this drama which is supposed to take place in a city to the north of that mysterious country in the Spring of 1857, a time when mutiny was sweeping through the land. Lieut.-Col. Frank Chappell play- ed 'the part of the soldiery Me- Gregor, with ability and ease, while Evelyn Chant was well suit- ed to the role of Mrs, Clayton. James Storie made a fine showing as the young and enthusiastic Lieutenant Hartley. Lesser roles were faithfully acted as follows: Sergeant' McDougal, J. N. Bernley; Stewart (the sentry), Wm. Bor- rowdale; Hindustani servant, Lloyd Saunders; . Hindustan! servant, H, 8. Biles; sepoy, H. 8. Biles. The settings by Mre, E. C. Hod- gins were beautiful and realistic. John Craig as director deserves great credit for the success of all four plays. A. M. Robinson was the efficient stage controller, The or- chestra under the direction of Mrs. E. J. McGirr, provided several splendid selections which were much appreciated by the audience. Its members include Mrs. A, Mec- Farlane, Mrs. N. Kinder, Mrs, S. @. Carnell, Mr. Chas. Eder and Mr. Humphrey Carnell, violjug; Mr. Jules Von Gunten, cello and Mrs. McGirr, piano. ~The thanks of the Oshawa Little Theatre players are due to the Ro- tary Club for the use of their hall; to The Williams Piano Co., "The Arcade," Mr. R. N, Bagsett, The Public Utilities Commission, The Art Sign Studio and the Oshawa Branch of ther Canadian Legion, who in various ways have very kindly given their aid, and also to St, George's Ukranian Soclety who kindly loaned the costumes for the first and second plays. The ELORA INTERMEDIATES LOSE Parig, Feb, 10.--Before tho larg- est crowd and in the finest game of hockey seen in the Paris Arena this season, the intermediates de- feated Elora by the odd goal in five within the last minute of the game in the first of the home and home games for group: honors. "Culture cannot bo transmitted, it has to grow on the spot; it can- not be given to the mind, it must he rooted to the soul"--=Will Dur- - Cultural Life of Oshawa eatre and PETROUSKY |, : Our present age is the age of mechanicism, Teverish speed and barbarian noise. A man of this day is reduced to something like a human Robot, the automaton, be« coming more and more subservient to the gods of mechanicism and standardization, who, from morn- ing till night, ticks his life awap like a well set' clock. In spite of the picrw:cnt wealth and luxury the life of present day man seems to be utterly prosaic, uncolorful-- the man-made god of meechanicism had divested him of things that make a peasant or a simple shep- herd boy a romantc and colorful figure. Lost in the perpetual com- motion of speed and noise, the finer sides of life' are slowly pass- ing away from our minds; we have no time, no room for our self- expression, and consequently our souls are being slowly mummified. Just like the automatons we are daily' fed by canned food, canned mygie, canned drama, canned ser- mons and canned everything! Con- sequently, we seemingly 'enjoy but evening to be present at the pres- entation of four splendid acts giv- en .by this popular institution on which Oshawa should pride itself. These anomalies of our present age, the vacancy of our life, will exist as long as we let the gods oi mechanicism and standardization enthrall our spiritual self that, ever clamours and yearns for its self-expression in things beautiful 'and 'noble--In 'things, some people indifferently refer to as, art. For, art and culture is the poesy of life and, the value of art lies in mak- ing people happy, as was said by one philosopher. Happiness, there- fore, is the purpose of art. The mere physical satisfaction that man derives out of perfected things can- not give man' the real happiness. Unless man finds this happiness, his nature rebels té6 spurn him on the path of the full expression of life, Thus felt the ancient Greek, Roman and Egyptian, when they laid the foundations for our cul- ture. For these obvious reasons we got our music, literature, dra- ma and other forms of are as means for man's self-expression. And, for this obvious reason, 1 believe, Canadian people have es- tablished a noble institution, known as The Little Theatre. The Oshawa Little Theatre .

Every avail- able seat in St. George's Anglican Church, where the boy was former- 1y-a member of the choir, was tilled. / Previous to the ccremony In St. George's a service was held in the home of the lad half a mile west of Maple Grove when practic- ally the whole of the community turned out to pay respect to one of its most popular members. At this service the pastor of Maple Grove ! United church, where the boy had Leen attending since he left Osh- awa, the Rev. H, Stainton, con- ducted the gervice and in a shor address expressed the sympathy of the whole neighborhood in the death of one of its most promising young people. Following this service the cor- tege left for St. George's Church, Oshawa, where every troop of the Oshawa Boy Scouts was well rep- resented and the 5th Oshawa Troop of which the deccased was former- ly a member formed a guard of honor. The service here wag conducted by the Rev, Canon dePencier, who also conducted the burial service in the Union Cemetery. After the gervice was over the scouts of the city again formed an arch and the coftin was carried under this by six of his former mates, of the 6th Oshawa Troop. They were Don Miller, Lloyd Harding, Willis Me- Leese, James Sutton, Gordon Rooney and Carmen Hughes, Over twenty-five cars followed the cor- tego from the church to the ceme- tery, many of these coming from Maple Grove.

Hamilton, superintendent of the local govern- ment employment office. A few lo- cal industries have been taking on some of their former.employes who had been laid off, but for the most part there is little demand for fac- tory workers or laborers. The skilled trades are also quiet, little building being done in the city at the present time, This*is a situation which is very much sim- ilar throughout Ontario 'as Sud- bury is the only city which reports the building trades still active, With the new Skinner Co. plant openitig in the near future, the employment bureau is hopeful] that tihs will create a Whited demand for factory workers. During the past® month there were 405 placements made throuzh the medium of the local office, in- clading placements for women. The majority of these were for casual jobs such as shovelling snow or distributing bille. That unemployment is not only general throughout the provinee, but also in many sections of the United States is shown by a bulle- tin received by the Oshawa office from the Public Employment Bur-| eau of Clevelan This bulletin points out that he demand for help in all kinds of industries anu offices during January hag noaver been eo clack at an 1922, Cleveland, alihg larger eity than O of the most importa municipali- ties in the United States, depends largely on industries which manu- facture products of a similar na- ture to those manufactured here.

Y,, Feb. 10.--Shades of carly Dutch traders may chuckle with satisfaction soon as ocean going vessels again leave this city for dis- tant ports. Less than a century ago, Albany was one of the principal seaports on the ®Avestern side of the Atlantic, sending its own ships to the Indies, Europe and even China, With the increased draft of mod- ern vessels it became impossible for many to make the 160-mile trip from open sea up the Hudson River from New York, and. in the last 50 years few ocean going ships have been seen here. 'The Hudson has been turned over to passenger steamers of shallow draft and canal boats. Now the: new port of Albany, far- thest inland seanort of the United States, is, preparing to open its docks tg world shipping. Deepening of the Hudson for 30 miles south of the city, a project authorized. by the federal government in 1926 will be completed within a few 'raonths at a cost of "$11,200,000. Keeping pace with the dredging of the river, "the Albany port district, composed of the cities of Albany and Rengselaer, has constructed nearly a mile of ' concrete piers, extending along, botlt sides or river, Erec- tion of términal st rds," including transit sheds, warehouses, cranes, rail ends and storage warehouses for lgmber and grain will be started ecar- ly' in' the 'Spring. Four large railroads converge on Albany and these will have direct connections with 'the docks. 'As Al- bany is; the eastern terminal of the New York state barge canal system, and is the center of a vast network of trunk highways, the new port is expected to' have the advantages of a natural gcong@Entration of land and water transport facilitics, The new depth provided in the up- per Hudson, 27 feet at minimum low water, will 'amount £6 at least 30 feet at all stages of the tide. At. that depth, nearly 90 per cent of all car- go ships in the world can navigate. The new port will bring Great Lakes shipping 160 miles' nearer the sea. Compared with. Montreal," the great inland seaport of 'Canada, will have to 'travel only 160 miles to reach. the open sea, while from Mon- treal they must travel 1,000' miles, alcohol content of 24 to 30 proof spirits. . » For the benefit of the industry, manufacturers were allowed to sell in quantities not Jess than. three bottles or one five-gallon keg to one customer at one time.

URGES YOUTH TO WORK, READING tional Address at St. Andrew's F. L. Fowke delivered a very in- structive address yesterday after- noon to the St. Andrew's Sunday School scholars, Out of hig wealth of knowledge and experience he pleaded with the young folk to give diligence to reading and medi- tation. The advantage of reading the productions of the great scientists; the tremendous value of reading biography and philosophy, was em- phasized, and above all things the perusal of the Book of all books which was given to us to be a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path, was stressed in Mr. Fowk'e thorough-going manner while the audience listened with rapt atten- tion. The value of Church and school in the formation of charac- ter was dwelt upon and modern ad- vantages dlong these 'lines were emphasized. The speaker closed his inspira- tional talk by telling the children not to think that things came in a hap-hazard way in life, but real success was preceded by work-- hard indefateagable work if they were to accomplish the things that were worth while. Two fine selections were render- ed by a mixed quartette composed of Mesdames J, Reid and A. H. Begg and Messrs, John Gray and O. Toaze, under the leadership of Mr, George Henley.

The pilot; whose name is not known, explained to the many in- terested spectators who gathered about the plane, that lie had been forced to come down on account of the snowstorm which made it im- possible for him to see where he was going. A machanic was also in the plane. The storm abated shortly after 2 o'clock and the little plane took off, the airmen saying goodby to Oshawa. Those who conversed with the pilot state that he claimed he had come from Montreal and was head- ed for the airport at Weston, near Toronto, He intimated that he was then going to fly to Chicago and Winnipeg. It has not beap learncd whether the machine is one of those en- gaged in the air mail service as it did not resemble the planes which are used by the company between Toronto and Montreal. STOBIE FORLONG MAY REOPEN BUSINESS WITHIN FEW DAYS Resumption of business by Sto- bie-Forlong and Company by the and of this week is within the bounds of possibility if the ac- counting and compilation of eredi- tors' statements can be completed soon, it was intimated over the week-end. N. L. Martin, custodian in bankruptcy of the firm, believed he could make some definite an- nouncement as to the status of the voluntarily bankrupt house within a few days. As far as can be learned without a complete auditors's statement of the position of the house ,the firm is solvent and able to meet 'all creditors' demands.
