THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1930 PAGE THREE Local Church Obtains Fine Site Overlooking Memorial Park | (Oshawa Harbor Was Busiest of Its Type on the Great Lakes, During Period of Operation In Less Than Four Months, oe Thon Four Monte OSHAWA HEALTHY and Cleared the Local Port, Handling 22,782 Tons of Freight in and Dut of the Port NAVIGATION CLOSED UNTIL NEXT SPRING October Was Busiest Month, With 18 Ships Reported, Transferring 11,556 Tons, Including 22 Automobiles ~--November Saw 6,476 Tons Transferred, and September 4,496 Tons With insuean ie on uli fireat Lakes shipping navigation officially closed at the Port of Oshawa for the ses- son with the clearing of the steam- ship City of Kingston, which deliver ed 50,000 pounds of sugar here. Re- cords which have been kept by Co. B. J. McCormick, industrial commis- sioner, show that for the four inonths of operation of the harbor, fiity-one cargo ships entered and cleared this port, handling 22,782 tons of local freight, Acting on instructions from the de- partment of marine, the Westman Machinery Co., of this city, is now dismantling the special flash light on the outer end of the westerly pier and it will be stored for the winter in a government freight shed. Busiest of Its Type In the short period which the new harbor has been open to navigaticn, the Port of Oshawa, has handled ton- nage far in excess of any other har- r of a similar type on the Great Lakes, it is stated. Thus there is every reason to believe that if the harbor were developed as it :hould, Oshawa would eventually become one of the first ranking Canadian ports on the Great Lakes. An effort was made to have one or more steamers winter at the har- bor but although one steamship line intimated that it would have a ves- sel remain in the local port until the opening. of navigation next spring, at the last minute it was forced to make a change in its plans, Although the Great Lakes are now practically cleared of all shipping it 1s interesting to recall that LaSalle, the intrepid French explorer never hesitated to navigate Lake Ontario even in the stormiest winter weather, On his first voyage westward, made early in December about three hun- dred years ago, the bold explorer made the trip in a small sailing ves- sel, probably the first ever to have been seen on the lake. Battered by high winds and gales, the little boat hugged the north shore of the lake and its crew of sailors and adven- turers had many narrow escapes. At one time, threatened by heavy seas, the vessel was forced to seek shelter in the mouth of the Humber river and here the party was faced by an- other peril for as the surface of the stream began to freeze, the tiny craft almost became ice bound, But the loss of many lives and nu- merous ships has convinced shippers that is not practicable to navigate the Great Lakes in winter time and ships that utterly' dwarf LaSalle's small craft are not allowed to venture forth except on' their own risk. Monthly Figures According to figures supplied The Times through the courtesy of Col. McCormick, 51 ships entered and cleared the harbor here during the past four months, October was the busiest month with 18 vessels dock- ing here. Only four came in No- vember. Tonnage over the wharves is recorded as follows: August, 253% tons; September, 4,49634 tons; Octo- ber, 11,55 tons and November 6,746 tons, In August nine automobiles were shipped from the harbour and in October 22 were shipped this way, while none were taken as cargoes during September or November. A total of $1,217.57 was received from various steamship companies for side wharfage, $3741 being col lected in August, $257.03 in Septem ber, $598.13 in October and $325.00 in November. BUILDING PERMITS NOW TOTAL $175,000 FOR ELEVEN MONTHS Building permits issued in this city during the eleven months of 1930, total $174,995, accordng to the fig- ures supplied by the City Engineer's department. Last month ten permits, totalling, were issued. The permits last month include a dog pound for the Oshawa Humane Society at $1,000, two electric signs in front of the Commercial Hotel, at $600; and seven garages. The gar- ages are being constructed by G. L. Gummow, 291 Athol street east; E. Colborne, 116 Division street; R. Spiers, 224 Eulalie avenue; Mrs. M Taylor, 307 Leslie street; W. R. Ash- ton, 135 Huron street; Edgar Pres- cott, 505 Rogers road, and C. B, Mor- rison, 20 Arlington Avenue. A permit for a $3,000 church for the Calvary Baptist: association in_ this rity was issued this morning, to start the month of December. DURING NOVEMBER 51 Births Recorded With Only 17 Deaths--Marri- ages Totalled 17 Old Mister Stork is doing his best to increase the population of this city, it is revealed in the vital sta- tistics reports issued by city clerk F. E. Hare. Last month there were 51, births in Ohaswa, while only 17 deaths were reported. Cupid was also active, leading 17 :guples to the altar during the month, I'his was just the same as the num- her married in November of last year, and was an increase over October of this year, when 11 couples were mar ried, The number of births last month was an increase over Novem ber of a year ago, when 48 little peo- ple saw the light of day, and was a decrease from October, when there were 59 recorded The number of deaths last month was a decrease from both November of last year, when 21 people went to their reward, and also from October, when the relatively high number of 31 persons met the Grim Reaper INTREPID FLIER OF ATLANTIC TO VISIT THIS CITY Capt. J. Erol Boyd Will Re- ceive Civic Welcen:« Tomorrow Night Captain J. Errol Boyd, To- ronto, first Canadian to fly across the Atlantic, will appear in Osh- awa tomorrow night and will be tendered a welcome by Mayor T B. Mitchell and G, D. Conant, presi- dent of the Chamber of Commerce. With Captain Boyd's remarkable feat still fresh in the minds of Can- adians, Oshawa is being offered a wonderful opportunity of becoming acquainted with this bold aviator who first started flying in the Can- adiam corps during the Great War. His deeds of daring however, have been eclipsed hy his peace time ef- fort in flying the veteran monoplane Columbia, rechristened the 'Maple Leaf" in honor of his ecountry, across the Atlantic to England, Captain Boyd is being brought here through arrangements made by Robert Fraser, manager of the Winter Gardens, Simcoe street north. The famous aviator is ex- pected to arrive at the Winter Gar- dens at nine o'clock and will be met there by Mayor Mitehell and Mr. Conant. His coming will be watched with interest, HISTORIC CHURCH IS NEEDING REPAIRS London, Dee. 3.--5t. Clement, Ipswich, which lovers of "The Pick- wick Papers" will recall as the fine old church to which Sam Weller re- paired from the Great White Horse in an endeavor "to dissipate his melancholy by strolling among its ancient precinets,'" is still standing much as in Dicken's day, but time and the smoke of industry have told upon it. The sum of $5,000 is re- quired for repairs, and the Rector, the Rev, J. C. Knapp, is making an appeal. CARD OF THANKS R. B. Lloyd wishes to thank his many friends including Oshawa Rebekah Lodge, No. 3, Victory L 0.B.A., No. 583, and Albert Street United Church for their kind sym- pathy and floral tributes during his recent bereavement. .

L. Bird--Disease Not Hered" A most instructive address on the importance of heredity was that given at the weekly luncheon of the Oshawa Kiwanis Club yes- terday. The speaker, Dr. G. L. Bird of this city, effectively an- swered many of the false ideas prevalent at the present day re- garding this subject and gave gome illuminating illustrations to prove his contentions. President R. B. Smith, who was in the char, read a cable from Premier R. B. Bennett, in answer to one sent by the Oshawa Kiwanis Club and other Kiwanis Clubs urg. ing him to address the convention of Kiwanis Internatfonal next May, The Premier replied that, as par- liament would without doubt be in session at that time, he could not promise to accede to thig re- quest, Kiwanians Elmer Dixon and ¥. Hare, who have been ab- sent for several meetings, were welcomed back. The speaker of the day was In. introduced by Dr. J. Archer Brown who referred to the great amount of studv that has been given by (Continued on page 10) ARPANGF SPLFADID LECTURE COURSE . . 1931 Program of University Extension Class Published Members of the local [University of Toronto extension class will be offorded some intellectual treats during the continuance of their course next year, according to the program of lectures which has just been arranged.

A HISTORIC CITY A centre of great historic interest in New Brunswick is the city of St. Jol, on the shores of the bay of Fundy. - On the city's outskirts, on a high hill overlooking the bay, is the site of old Fort Howe. Near the shore is a tablet erected by the Na- tional Parks of Canada Branch, De- partment of the Interior, commemor- ating the landing of the United Em- The Oshawa Branch of the Can- adian Legion will not only provide Christmas Dinner at Rotary Hall os Christmas Day for the gingle unem- ployed men of the city who are in needy circumstances, but will hold "open house' all day for these men, and will provide for them entertain- ment in the afternoon and evening. This was decided last night by a special committee of the Legion which was appointed at the last meeting to arrange the details of this Christmas Day function, which will be open to all single men who are without friends and relatives with whom to spend Christmas Day The plans decided upon call for the serving of Christmas dinner at noon, the providing of facilities for entertainment in the afternoon, a Legion to Provide Open House For Jobless on Christmas Day light supper in the evening, and a concert programme following that, to be presented by members of the Legion in Oshawa. Special sub- committees were appointed to take care of the catering, program, and other features of the day, and fit was decided to have the invitation tickets for the event distributed by A. H. Power, secretary of the branch, at the local employment of- fice, 8 Bond Street West, While this Christmas Day entertainment is intended for.bona-fide residents of Oshawa the committee felt that when Christmas Day comes it would not be wise to draw the line too strictly, so that any transients who happen to be passing through on that day may be allowed to join in the festivities.

This announcement' shows that while 1930 was generally regard- ed as a véar of depression, it had been one of business expansion for this company, five new stores were opened and set in operation by the company in the province, mak: ing a grand total of 99 Loblaw Groceteriag now doing business in Ontarfo. The attitude of the Loblaw congern with reference to the period of depression is well ex- pressed in the following paragraph from the announcement: "While the word 'depression' has rocently found its way into the vo. cabulary of thé people of Canada, yet it is plain from figures that such a condition is largely tem- NAMED DIRECTOR | OF PENNY BANKD J. C. Anderson of This City Receives Appointment to Executive J. C. Anderson, local barrister, and a member of the Board of Ed- ucation, was appointed a director of the Penny Bank of Ontario at the annual meeting of the bank held in Toronto recently. Among others on the board of directors, the names of Mr. Henwood, gen- eral manager of the Bank of Tor onto, Mr. Norsworthy, assistant general manager of the Bank ot Montréal, M. C. Beaugard, of the Dominion Bank, Angus McMurchy K.C., and Professor M.

EVENING CLASS IN ORCHESTRA MUSIC | ASKED OF BOARD Petition of Several Interest- ed Citizens To Be Present- ed at Next Meeting A request that the board of edu- cation, as part of its evening voca- tional class program, undertake the organization of classes of instruc- tion in orchestral musie, under the tuition of Leonard. Ricker, supervi- sor of music in the schools, is to he presented to the hoard at its next meeting. This request is sponsor- ed by a number of interested eciti- zens, who, while fully appreciative of ¢he excellent work that is being done in the public schools and the collegiate and vocational institute in developing a love of music, be- lieve that this line of education stops at the most important period, and would like to see it continued in some form. The orchestra of the collegiate and vocational insti- tute, which 'has been trained by Mr. Richer, is cited as proof of what can be done by instruction of this kind, and the sponsors of the move- ment believe that this instruction should be provided after collegiate age is past, and also made available for others in the city who would like the opportunity of studying or- chestral music under Mr. Richer's leadership. Towards this end, a petition has been in circulation among those interested in the project, and will be presented to the hoard of educa- tion at the first opportunity. The | petition reads as follows: "To the Oshawa Board of Educa- tion: "Gentlemen,-- Wa suggest that you consider at this time in your program of musioal education the question of orches- tral music.

We would suggest you ar- range with your Mr, Richer to start action on this line, and in a small measure to show that there would he experienced talent to reinforce the student's efforts. We attach hereto some signatures of those who have in the past performed under Mr. Richer."
