tT Basan ey THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1931 PAGE THREE | | The Whitby t a well attended meeting of cis interested in local relief and welfare work held in the Council Chamber on Monday even- ing, plans were made for etfective- ly: carrying 'on the work of the Christmas Cheer and Welfare Find, which was started before C mas, The President, J. H. Ormiston presided, and repre- selitatives were present from the Town Council, V.O.N,, Women's In. stitute, County of Ontario Olu Girls' Association, Whitby Legion and the various churches, The treasurer reported funds on hand, and after some discussion it was decided to work with the Le- gion, Sanitary Committee of the Victorian Order of Nurses, and the V.O.N. in relief and general wel- fare work. Funds were placed at the disposal of the Legion and the V.O.N,, and to the Samaritan Com- mittee, this money tn be expended for relief and welfare work only. The office's of the Fund, elected last fall, were instructed to carry on. They are: president, J. H Ormiston; vice-president, R. A. Hutchison; secretary-treasurer, John R. Frost. The committee will also function as before. In a brief address the president thanked all who gave their ser. vices at Christmas for the distri- bution of relief to needy families. Over. 60 baskets were purchased and delivered, and not one family was hungry on Christmas Day so far as the officers were aware. Whitby had responded most gen- erously' to the appeal for funds; and thanks to the loyalty of the workers the money was wisely and well expended. Few towns of Whitby's size had done as well, the president added. With regard to the future, Mp, Ormiston felt that if further funds were needed to carry on, 'the good citizens of Whitby who were "able to give would gladly respond. Ay motion was placed on the books thanking all who helped at Christmas to bring comfort and cheer to citizens in need. COUNTY COUNCIL AGAIN IN SESSION Important Problems Facing County Fathers at Whitby What promises to be a momen- tous session of Ontario County Council opened at the Court House Tuesday afternoon. It is an ad. journed session, and principal among the questions to be discus- sed is that of cutting down ex- penses. The special committee ap- pointed to consider to what extent this action can be carried out in the various spending departments is expected to report. The proposal made hy Reeve W. J. Philp, of Brock township, that a reduction be made in the salar- fes of county officials, will in all probability come up again and be thrashed out. A further proposal for the cutting of mileage and per diem allowances may also be ad- vanced.

The question of expenditures on roads and bridges is sure to be much debated, There is a feeling that the county's good roads burden, owing to the large bills submit. mittees were not heard from last ted by the provincial government for highway construction, is get- tine too heavy and that it is about time to call a halt. It is understood that the queés- tion of old age peusions will also be brought up for discussiom LATE MISS BURNS ISLA TOREST Funeral of Wellknown Whitby Lady Held on Monday Many citizens attended the fun- eral on Monday afternoon of Miss Jemima Burns, sister of Mr, Fred N.

CANADA 1S FACING DAWN OF NEW ERA SAYS MACAULAY Striking Progress Shown in Report of Sun Life As- surance Company Montreal, Feb. 10.-- We ate fac. ing the dawn of a new era of, 1} hope, great prosperity," So spoke 1. B. Mccaulay, eminent Canadlan financier, head of the Sun Life As- surance Company of Canada, at the annual meeting held here to-day He drew a vivid word picture of de. pression conditions which this Con- tinent faces at the present time, be. lieving that the first stage in the come-back has passed, that the re- turn to prosperity will be gradual, and that the Federal Reserve sys- tem has it in its power to hasten that return. "What of the future? Even if no action be taken by those in con- trol to stabilize the dollar, this de- pression, like all others, will slow- ly, painfully work its own cure, as is, in fact, now happening. That cure comes through the accumula- tion of the combined savings of the people of the Continent." Mr. Mac- aulay then told how the savings are deposited in the banks and of the great increase that has been shown by savings deposits during the past year, with the result that the banks have a steadily Increasing amount of money which they may be requir- ed to pay out at any moment but which they can lend to brokers and others on call.. / The Annual report of the Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada SAYS CANADIANS MAY VIEW FUTURE WITH CONFIDENCE President of North American Life Assurance Co. Re- ports Successful Year . The North American Life Assur- afice Company in its Fittieth Annual Statement reports a highly satisfac- tory year in 1930. The new busi- nesg during that year was decreas. ed slightly while the total assure ance in force showed a smaller in. crease than was recorded in 1929, However, the surplus earned dur ing the year increased $610,247, over that of 1929, The same rela- tively high interest rate was earned as in 1929, namely 6.149%. The ex- pense rate was reduced and divid- end payments to policyholders in- creased by $120,834. These were some of the high lights from the Fiftieth Annual Re- port of the North American Life Assurance Company at its Annual Meeting on Thursday January 29th. Mr. Bradshaw in presenting this report spoke on general conditiohs and compared the present reaction in Business to that which occurred after the Napoleonic Wars in Eur opo and after the Civil War in the United States. Continuing, he sald, it is very difficult to predict the course of prices and values. If we should assume that the unprece- dented development of the last fifty years in science and business was for th time being retarded we might look forward to an era of re- duced commodity values and gener- al lowering rates of interest. If, on the other hand as we may assume there shall continue to be an ad- vance both in pure and applied sci- ence, we will continue to have tre- Lmendous demands on capital which may present a prolonged reduction eithor in prices or in Interest rates. Revolutionary and evolutionary changes are occuring both in the political 'and economic life of the people of the world, but as far as Canada 1s concerned we may with supreme confidence look forward to the future, We have not only tre- mendoug natural resources but our country is stocked with fine virile, God-fearing people. It may well be open to question whether it is wise by artificial means to force popula tion and business, but it at least may be said that in the natural way and without special stimulation our country is destined to progress very rapidly and steadily to increase in population and wealth. JUDGMENT WILL BE GIVEN LATER (Continued from page 1) When asked to take the witness box on his own behalf, Pawlénchuk, who is a husky looking Ukrainian, developed a paroxysm of coughing and moved with slow steps. Mr. Parkhill explained that his client was just recovering from an attack of in- fluenza, Questioned by Crown Attorney McGibbon, the accused denied that he had ever sold liquor to any of the men, He admitted that Joseph Con- roy had called at his place. "He came one time and he was drunk like--" Pawlenchuk said, "I gave him a little drink of whiskey once but did not sell it to him." Accused dented that he even knew John Conroy, Entering a plea on behalf of his client Mr, Parkhill submitted that there should not be a conviction on he basis of the evidence given in court as be belicved that the wit- nesses were ali relatives and bore malice against Pawlenchuk for a charge of theft which he brought against Jack Conroy and which was dismissed in court, Crown Attornéy McGibbon argued that the Crown had made out a good case, that the witnesses had shown no malice and that it had been eéstablish- ed beyond a shadow of a doubt that Pawienchul was selling liquor illegal- ) 42 On account of the physical condi- tion of the accused, Magistrate Creighton said that he would reserve his decision for a week, Too Late To Classify FOR RENT ~~ APARTMENT, three rooms and bath, steam heat, | newly decorated, janitor service, equipped laundry, reasonable rent, Phone 1400.

F., Richardson, 544 Mary Street, called The Times this morning to give sone interesting facts regarding the winter 46 years ago, Forty-six years ago yesterday, he said, the sap was running, and be worked for two days in the sugar bush, tapping 300 trees. The sap ran for two weeks, and then came another spell of cold weather, Then the spring opened up, and this, he says, was the earliest spring in his recollection, NOT QUITE The Lindsay Post, in a recent issue, credited John Gibson, chairman of the local board of health, with a phenomenal record. In the heading of an article telling of his re-election as chairman of the board, it said "Health 'Board Chairman Re-elected for: 144th Time. But, having been elected for the 14th time, Mr. Gibson has a long way to go before he qual- ifies for the honor ascribed to him by the Lindsay paper. STRAWBERRIES SHOWN Ripe strawberries are being shown in the window of one local fruit store, The berries are of good size and color, but necdless to say have been imported from some southern land, Strange as the Canadian win- ter is becoming it has not yet been found possible to grow fruit during the winter season. Judging by weath- er reports from the west, however, Canada may become in time the land of the palm instead of the maple and orange groves will take the place of apple orchards. JRME HAS COMEBACK A deputation of the nursing stall of the Oshawa General Hospital paid a visit recently to the home of Orme Gamsby, at Orono, and had a tale of woe to tell which meant the resurrection of several sults of clo- thes by the ever ready Orme, But it is always well to remember that Orme always has a come-back even- tually. On Monday Orme was In the city, presumably for the purpose of at- tending the hockey game, wearing a nice specimen of carnation. It seems that Orme paid a visit to the hospital to see friends--and rumor says that a local florist gave Orme 13 carnations for an even dozen, Having come from a Scotch settle- ment, Orme was wearing the odd flower. y v '| MEETING DATE CHANGED The Board of Education will hold its regular meetings on the last Mon- day of each month, starting with the March meeting, it was decided by the Board last. night.

The pig was soon lost in the snow and perished of cold before it could be recovered. . gammy Loughn, reputed to be one of the oldest men in Canada, died at the County House of Refuge at Whitby on Saturday, aged 108. He was born in Ireland. An interesting link of the past with the present was discovered by a Times representative recently, while making a railway journey from Co- bourg to this city, ° The writer boarded the crack Maple Leaf Limited, of the Canadian National Railways in the castern town and proceeded at once to the smoking compartment of one of the handsome first-class coaches. There, seated near the window gazing out at the snow-clad ficlds and the beautitul scenery that scemed to flying past, sat an elderly man with a fur cap, dark overcoat and enjoying his fay- orite cigar, Being anything but bashful, and being interested in this man, the newspaper man started a conversa tion, and learned to his surprise that his new-found acquaintance was "Pat." Gary, possibly one of the best kno railroad men who worked x C.N.R. in former days. 'ou have served this railroad for a number of years?" Mr, Gary was asked. "Ah, yes. I've worked for this rail- road for over fifty years; yes, for the larger part of that time 1 was the conductor in charge of this very train. It was the crack train of the road even then, In the old days it was No, 1, Later No, 15, the Interna- tional Limited, was operated on this schedule, Now No, 5 the Maple Leaf has taken over the rin and is operat- ing on the same time ag No, 15 used to run. 1 was on this road when the second track wag laid. Of course, the first track was laid about 1850, but 1 am proud that I had a part in its operation during the larger part of my lifetime." St, (33-26) Mr. Gary's eyes still had that spark Veteran Railway Conductor Interesting Link With Pas and twinkle that bespoke an active life, and indicated that he had a thor- ough understanding of his work, "1 am not on the road now," said "Pat" "I retired some time ago, having been forced to take life easi- er owing to ill health." As the trajn sped on its westward way at mile-a-minute speed, various trainmen stopped and paid their re- spects to "Pat" who seemed to com- mand their admiration as an "old master" of his occupation. Soon came the call "Tickets, please," and the conductor appeared mn the doorway. "Well, well, if it isn't my old friend, Pat" There followed a few remarks that proved beyond a doubt to the interested listener that the el- derly man was indeed honored by his former co-workers, The conversa- tion was carried on with sympathet': references to several of their former comrades who rode the shining steel, many of whom were retired, and a few had passed to the great beyond. Incidents that had occurred during the long years of seryice brought laugh after laugh. At Oshawa, the newspaper man left "Pat" gazing out of the window. at the excavation where Oshawa's new subway is being erected. "A great saving of time will be made here," said the "old master." "We wasted many hours at this crossing, and it has been a hindrance to the street cars. A good idea!" "Good Luck, Pat" and he was gone as the train gathered speed and puff- ed its way westward. As the train disappeared around the bend, these words seemed to form themselves: "Men may come, and men may go. but the railway carries on and on," EXAM.

POST-MORTEM IN BOWMANVILLE ON HOCKEY SEASON Boys Hang Up Their Sticks and Look Ahead to Another Year When the bus pulled away from the Oshawa Arena last evening after the big gamo the cry went up "Are we downhearted" and the answer in no uncertain terms "No" and that was the spirit in which the hockey season for the Bowmanville Juniors closed for 1930-31, For James, Lunney and Piper it was their last game ot Junior Hockey. Next year they join intormediate ranks and thelr places in the junlor team will be filled with some new material ot which there is an abundance in the town, As for the game last night there was not a man on the team who complained, They knew well that they were fairly and squarely beaten and that even at thelr best the disadvantage of the big ice, and the coaching told on them, What pleased the fans most of all was to see so many support. ers from the home town present at the game. Judgliug from what Wwe saw ourselves there were at least four hundred from Bowman- ville and a goodly number of these womenfolk, That is more than has attended any game in Bow- manville this season, A half an hour before the game when the crowd was coming in two out of every three thot entered the arena were from Bowmanville and they were coming early to get a plek of the weats. Even the manage. ment of the Arena must have been surprised to get such a crowd for a junior hockey game but every- one seemed satisfied with what they saw, The only regret we have is that once again the team has finished up this year with a balance on the wrong side of the ledger, This year is not near so bad as last year but even at that it is bad enough and last year's debts have yet to be cleared up, In the interests of clearing up these debts the club is to hold a dance or some enter. talnment in the near future and it is to be hoped that this will be well patronized so that next year the team can start out with a clear book ahead of them and keep straight all through the soa. son which can only be done by public support which has been noticeably lacking this season, The date of the dance will be an. nounced shortly, CANADA GENERAL INSURANCE CO. IS IN GOOD POSITION The Dominion of Canada General Insurance Company held its forty- fourth Annual Meeting at Toronto, when the President, Colonel A. BE. Gooderham, reported to the share- holders that despite the disturbed business conditions existing throughout the year, the Company made very satisfactory progress, writing policies with gross pre- miums aggregating 2,849,676, which, after deducting reinsurance and lapses, netted the Company in income, including interest, of $2,- 099,786 and after charging against that amount claims and other ex- penses, and making generous pro- vision for reserves, there was a bal- ance of $92,217 to transfer to sur- plus account. The Company's ns- sets now stand at $3,688,000; total reserves--$1,666,000, and total se- curity to policyholders $3,475,000. Card of Thanks Mr, and Mrs, 7T. H.
