The recommendation was made by Ald. George Morris, chairman, in the report of the fire protection and city property com- mittee, and was passed without opposition. The site: was not designated however last night and for this reason members of the Legion are still. in doubt as to the ultimate location of the proposed new building. Originally the report of the property committee recom- mended the leasing of a strip of land on the west side of the city property," fronting on Bagot street, with a width of 40 feet and a depth of 100 feet. As certain difficulties were foreseen {in the leasing of this land the section of the clause] desiznating the sit- uation of the site, was deleted from the report by Ald. Morris. 1t is hoped that a site-may be named in the near future so that the Legion can proceed 'with its plans, ' A communication which was re- ceived last night from J. A. Ellis, secratary of the provincial unem- ployment rclief fund, asking for information concerning the extra cost of the subway, on account of winter work was forwarded to the Board of Works. The city council has been in- formed that all relief works, upon whieh a government grant is made, must be completed before March Died FREDERICK O. HARE On Sunday, November 2nd, the death of Frederick O. Hare, 21 Mon- tague St., Regina, occurred at the Healey Hotel Hospital, Swift Cur- rent, Saskatchewan, where he had been ill with pneumonia for some time. Although never a resident of Oshawa, the deceased was well- known in this locality. His father, James Hare, lives at Colborne, On- tario. Of his immediate family, left to mourn his loss are his widow, and two sons, Harold and Lionel, ages 16 and 13.

This week the Oshawa Curling Club opened tHe season for the roar- | ing game, while to-day the weather is so mild and clear | that the golf links will issuc their call to many devotees of the sport. It is rather unusual for this season of the year that two such sports that are considered to be typical of the two direct- ly opposite seasons of the year | should be participated in at the same time, Yet on a day such as we have to-day it would be possible to play golf in the ll afternoon and curl in the ev- ll ening. SUBSCRIPTIONS HAVE BEEN TAKEN FOR POPPY FUND Carry on Work Among Needy Veterans The poppy Fund campaign of the Oshawa Branch of the Canadian Le- gion is already meeting with some measure of response from citizens, who are quick to show their sym- pathies with the cause of the dis- abled and needy war veterans of the community and their dependents. Although the Poppy Campaign, offi- cially, is centred around the Armis- tice period, a number of citizens have already sent their cheques to the secretary, signifying their de- sire to help the Legion in taking care of the needy families of vet- erans during the coming winter. Contributions, which have been re- ceived and acknowledged to date are as follows: Dr. T. W. G.' McKay, $5.00; A, G. Storie, $5.00; W. E. N. Sinclajg, M. | : W. H. Moore, M.P., a Davis, $10.00% Col. Frank Chapell, $6.00; R. Ray Mec- Laughlin, $5.00; Rev. E. Harston, $5.00. The Poppy Fund, which was rais- ed by the campaign of November, 1929, amounted to a sum Of $1,- 162.98. This fund was disbursed as follows: To the Veteraft Shops, for poppies and wreaths, made by disabled war veterans in sheltered employment, $209.55; Wreaths and flowers for memorial purposes and sick members, $57.52; loeal relief, including rent, fuel, clothing,.pro- visions, etc., for deserving cases, $841.00; transient relief, $16.30; printing and postage, $33.16. This left a balance on hand of $6.45. In addition, however, a sum of $53.04, lent to the Poppy Fund from Whe general funds of the branch, has been expended on local relief, so that there is at present a deficit of $46.59 in the fund. It is the hope of the Legion offi- Happened cers that this year's response to the Poppy Fund will be even larger than it was last year, since the needs are much greater, and there will be many calls to assist war veterans, who are in distress.

E."Harston Preaches on "Magic of Grace" The first in the series of evan- gelical services being held in Sim- coe Street United Church was held last night, Rev. E. Harston, pastor of the church, was in charge and the service itself was most cn- couraging a large audience was presept and a very fine address | | was delivered by Rev, Harston, who took as his theme "The Magic of Grace", basing his address on Isaiah 6:1. Rev. Mr. Harston spoke very | impressively of the vision Isalah had received of God as a supreme being and his vision of himsel! | in his sin. Mr, Harston then touch- | ed npon the cleansing of Isaiah | and the vision Isaiah had of bis] duty followed by his call to ser- vice. Isaiah, the greatest of the Hebrew prophets, attacked the cor- rupt national life of his time with prophecies of . disaster and final deliverance, The messages of Isaiah as contained in the text | were very applicable to present conditions, Mr. Harston stated. During the service the Grae Male Quartette, of Toronto, ren- dered several very enjoyable num- bers. The singing was lead by 2 special evangelistic choir made up of members of the congregation, under the leadership of Ruthven MacDonald, well known soloist of Toronto, The meetings will be continued every night except Saturday until November 16th, and should prove a source of inspiration to the members of the congregation as well as the city as a whole, On Wednesday evening of this week the famous Adanac Male Quartette, of Toronto, will I d | | | | heard at the service.

M. Gilbert Speaks The value of scientific industrial research in conserving the natural resources of Canada, and in utiliz- ing material that would otherwise wasted, formed the chief thought in an interesting address given by Prof. A. E. Alcott of the University of Toronto, at the weck- ly meeting of the Oshawa Rotary Club, held last night in the Rotary Hall. The subject of Prof. Alcott's address was "Insulation and Heat- ing", but behind the story of in sulation and its value was the story of how the sixty-six per cent. of wasted resources in the lum- bering industry has been made to producé a valuable merchantable product which, in turn, is effect- ing a remarkable saving in the fuel resources of the world. The meeting was under the leadership of W. M. Gilbert, who had pres- ent as guests the officials of the Internatiohal Fibre Board Com- pany, from Toronto, Incidentally, the dinner was provided for the Rotarians by this company, and was served in "shanty" style, rem- iniscent of lumber camp days, and was thoroughly enjoyed. The en- tertainment features of the pro- gram were in the hands of Jack Grace, whispering tenor of the radio, and Jack Powell, his ac- companist, whose efforts were grateful applause. Included among the guests were W. A. Argue and F. W. Klschell, Toronto, Thomas Chatfield, Dave Fowler and Allan Carney, of the Oshawa Lumber Company, Norman Millman and William Holland.

Showing how heat leaked out of buildings or into buildings in two ways, either by openings or by ab- that Insulation | was necessary to prevent the lat- | { ter type of leakage, since its pur- posc was to keep homes warm in ! winter and cool in summer, and by explaining the processes by which insulating material operated, he #liowed how this was done. In sulation, too, produced a more cven distribution of heat, and made it possible to use upper rooms | and attics which, without it, were too hot to use in summer and too cold in winter. Insulation board also had the effect of giving in- sulation against sound, since it kept the sounds from penetrating from the outside, and did not re- flect the sounds from inside the room, The effect of insulation on fuel speaker, The average furnace, he said was only from 50 to 60 per cent. effective, so that, with coal at $16.00 per ton, the heating valuc cost about $30.00 per ton, which accentuated the necessity of conserving fuel, since supplies were diminishing, and once used, could not be replaced. In the aver- age house, insulation would save about three tons of coal a year, and this would mean, if used in every home in the Dominion, a saving of $30,000,000 a year. In addition, the use of insulation hoard reduced the fire hazard, and thus promoted another sav- ing. Insulation board was being made the subject of a great deal of rescarch work, said Prof, Al- cott, with the idea of providing uses for waste materials now hav- ing no commercial value, In 1926, Canada's production of insulation board was 9.7 million square feet, while in 1929 fit was 34 million square feet, and the consumption had grown in proportion to the growth in production. While there was a certain amount of imported insulation board, he said, this was small In comparison to the con- sumption, and he saw no reason why in the future Canada should pot produce all her requirements of this material and manufacture a large exportable surplus. The thanks of the club were ably expressed by President Frank Johnston, while George Hart moved a hearty vote of thanks to the officials of the International Fibre Board Company for their hospitality.

Early this morning, how- ever, when the sun came out it soon disappeared. In addition to the white frost the business section of the city this morning was shrouded in mantle of fog. Strange .as it may seem, there was no fog in the north: a ern end of the city which is on somewhat higher ground.

The permits issued during. the month just passed are accounted for as follows. Three dwellings at a total cost of $5050, 12 garages at $2080, 9 alterations at $3675, one other structure cost $100 and | two electric signs cost another $100. While the sum for the ten months is exceptionally small this will likely be largely augmented during the present month by the cost of the subway, and other building activities which are pro- posed. All civic works such as paving and grading do not come under this heading and therefore are not considered as construction of buildings. is practically certain The Times was informed this morning that building permits in the city for the entire year will not come within many thousands of dollars of what they have dur- ing the past few years when excep- tional activity was noted in the building trades in the city. During the peak years it was difficult to get enough skilled men for con- struction work but now it is dif- ficult to get enough work for the i skilled men of the city.

The interior of the kitchen in which the stove was located, was almost com- pletely gutted all the furniture be- ing wrecked beyond repair. Shortly before three o'clock Mrs, Charles F. Sturgess, who resides in the front of the house went to her back porch and noticed flames shooting' from the window of the Pentland kitchen. When the fire department arrived on the scene they found the kitchen a roaring mass of flames. The fire, which had evidently had its origin in the ceiling of the room where a stove pipe came too close to it, had been burning for some time, it is thought, before it was discovered, Mrs. Pentland, who had left the house a short-time be- fore the fire broke out, stated that she had turned off the stove before she went out about half an hour before the fire, The firemen had to combat the extreme heat of the fire as well as a dense cloud of smoke that rose from the burning celotex ceiling. The kitchen of the house is almost a total wreck as the result of the fire which burned a great deal of the ceiling, Several pieces of fur- niturée were completely wrecked.
