/ _ THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, JULY 21, 1931 PAGE THREE Ald. M"Donald makes Plea for Strictest Civic Economy ROTARY SWIMMING POOL OPENING PLANS GIVEN ATLUNCHEON MONDAY H. W. Nicoll, Speaker at Luncheon, Expresses 'Thanks for Donations POOL ONLY $1,200 . Dr. T. W. G. McKay Prom- ises Co-operation of: De- partment of Health in Keeping Pool Up to the Proper Sanitary Standard ' Yesterday's luncheon of the / Oshawa Rotary Club was given over, largely to a discussion of the improvements at Rotary Park and particulary of the swimming pool which has been erected there for the children of the city, srd the plans which have been rade for the opening ceremonies. 'Or. 8. J. Phillips, the president, announced that the Ontario Regi- ment Band would march from the Armories to Rotary Park, start- ing at 7.15 p.m. and on fits ar- rival there, the pool would be of- ficially declared open by Mayor Ernie Marks. Johnny Walker and his marathon swimmers from the lakefront training camp would then give an exhibition of swimming, and the tank would be thrown open to the children. The president urged all members of the Rotary Club to be present at the opening ceremonies. H. W. Nicoll H. W. Nicoll was the speaker of the day, but his address, touching on the supervised play- ground and swimming pool, was briet and to the point. After telling of the new equipment, 'which was described in yester- Gay's issue of The Times, he went on to speak of the splendid co- opera fon which had been given in th. building of the tank, so as to bring it within the amount of money the club could afford to spend. The tank in Toronto on which the local on® was modelled he said, had cost $5,320, but the tank here, thanks to the assist- #nce given, would cost only a little more than $1,200, Messrs Bathe and McLellan, the contrac- tors, he said, had done the work at its actual cost of labor and ma- terials to them. and this had kept the price far below normal. J. C. Fowlds and Les. McLaughlin, he said, had supplied the cement at their cost price, and Mr, Mc- Laughlin had done all the team. ing at the actual cost to him of the labor involved. The cinders for the bottom had been secured through A. W. Bell, traffic mana- ger of the General Motors of Canada, Limited, at a ridiculous- ly low figure, while Fittings, Limited had donated the gate valves required for the mains, end the Pedlar People had do- nated the expanded metal re- quired for reinforeing. Mr. Bow- den on Gibbs street had also al- lowed the club a right-of-way through his property for the wa- ter mains without charge. while the public utilities commission had agreed to supply the water for this - year without charge. The tank, he said, had a capacity of 96,000 and it was pr posed to change the water daily. Mr. Nicoll expressed great ap- preciation of all these donations, . which had kept the actual cost .

McKay, who was present at the luncheon, prom- ised the fullest possible co-opera- tion of the board fo health in keeping the pool up to a high standard. There were certain re- quirements which would have to be met, he said, and samples of the water would be taken repeat- edly to make sure of its purity. He suggested that the club might ccusider the installation of show= ers in the dressing rooms, under which sjthe children could wash before going into the tank, as this would help to maintain the cleanliness of the water, Dr. Mec- Kay highly praised the club for its action in installing the tank, saying this was something he had in his mind for 15 years, and he believed that, with the contamin- ation of Oshawa Creek making ft dangerous for swimming and bathing, the swimming pool would be a godsend to the child- ren of the city. The thanks of the club mem- bers to the directors and club committee which had planned and completed the project were ably expressed by George Hezzel- wood and A. R. Alloway, who sald the pool would fill a long- felt need and would bé greatly appreciated by both children ad parents. The financial statement of the ciub for the year ending June 20 was read by R. S. Morphy, Lhe treasurer, and showed receipts of $12, 773,62, and expend iures, including $2,000 invested of 12, 659,63. Of this amount, $2,286.- 62 had been spent in' caring for crippled children, $1,106.74 in maintaining and operating fo- tary Hall, and $740.12 in the up- keep of Rotary Park, -------- REPORTS ARE MADE BY COMMITTEES Council Votes to Retain Tax on Busses Oper- ating in the City The usual reports of the stand- ing committees, as approved and adopted by the City Council last night, read as follows, the only discussion of any importance be- ing that prompted by the opposi- tior of Ald.

THE WHITBY subscriptions and Whitby Branch Office at Gazette and Chronicle.~Telephone 28. After Business Hours--Phone 359, REPRESENTATIVE--JAMES H. ORMISTON DAILY TIMES news will be received at the NO APPOINTMENT FOR SOME TIME YET Office of Sheriff of Ont. County May Be Kept Open It is learned on good authority that there will be no appointment made for some time to come by the Ontario Government to fill the office of sheriff of Ontario county. The work of the office is now being carried on by the deputy sheriff, Miss Mary Braw- for a number of years, and it is understood that she will be al- lowed to continue in charge of the office for the present. With very little court work on, the of- fice is not so busy now as in the fall, winter and spring months. There 1s, however, plenty to do. James Blanchard, M.P.P., of Ux- bridge, mentioned, for the post, was.in town recently, but had no statement to make. The name 'of Major Bob Smith, of Oshawa, it is learned, is still under consid- eration. Sheriff and Mrs. Paxton are now away in Montreal taking a much needed and well earned holiday. It is not known whether the Sheriff on his retugn will carry on, as, it is learned, he was requested, for a while longer. One thing is certain, and that is that the government has no de- sire to open up the riding of ley, who was with Sheriff Paxton' North Ontario county at the present time, a step which the Queen's Park authorities would be forced to take.it Mr. Blan- chard was appointed, 10 APPOINT NEW TOWN SOLICITOR Council May Hold a Spe- cial Session This Week The Town Council {s expected to hold a special meeting some evening this week for the pur- pose of appointing a town solici- tor to succeed the late Arthur E. Christian, who held that position so creditably for a number of years. The meeting was called for Wednesday évening but it is un- defstood that gll members of the Council cannot be present that evening. The position will no doubt be gwen to a local barrister, and while some names have been mentioned, no applications have been made to the town clerk. Expect Harbor Grant The Council has not yet re- ceived word from Ottawa regserd- ing its most recent request for an appropriation for harbor dredging. The minister some time ago sent up an engineer to in- spect the harbor and make a re- port, which, it is learned, was a most favorable one.

Lions Unsatisfactory As Talkie Performers New York.--There {is still room at the top for those who crave to record the lion's jungle roar for sound pictures, Mr. and Mrs. Martin Johnson who returned recently aboard the S.8. Excalibur after eight months in the Belgian Congo where they made sound pictures of snimals and pygmies, say that they are dissatisfied with their roaring lions. Some of their jungle per- formers roared too close to the microphone. Others were stand- offish. Two sound engineers who ac- companied the Johnsons spent many nights in the jungle trying for the perfect roar without suc- cess, Accompanying the explorer- authors was a small menagerie. Bong, an over-sized chetah or South African hunting leopard, had his first view of New York's skyline from the boat deck of the Excalibur, his quarters during the voyage. His companions on the boat deck were two tremen- dous gorillas, Congo and his wife Ngagi; a pair of chimnanzees, an eleven-months-old gorilla that be- longs to Mrs. Johnson and ans- wers to the name Snowball, a col abus monkey, considered an ex- tremely rare specimen by Mr. Johnson and a white-nosed Congo monkey, Bong, the chetah, may gee more of New York as he may be pre- sented to the New York Zoo. The gorillas are destined for the Smithsonian Institute, The explorers' new picture will be called "Congorilla," Martin Johnson said. He expects it to be released in October. He also brings back manuseript of a book, Much of the Johnsons' time was aflent making pictures of pygmies. They lived for several months in a native village of five hundred Liltiputian blacks. Ye "Io babies were born while we were there," Mrs. Johnson re- lated. "Until they are about eight years old children of pyg- mies are nearly normal size. Then they appear to stop growing. The mothers of the two pygmy babies for whom we were god-parents were so tiny I could tuck them under my arm." MISS FISHLEIGH.

(Continued from page 1) harnois Transmission Company, and, in the words of committee counsel, "A prominent man of his party." Tense Moment in Examination The committee-room was elec- tric with tension when Peter White suggested that Senator McDougald's relations with Beau- harnois during its solicitations of construction rights from the King Government' "might be regarded suspiciously by some . people as selling his influence as a sen- ator." Takes Stand Again Today In the highlight session of the epecial committee's probe, the smooth-faced, middle-aged, im- maculately.clad senator recount- ed, with appeaffance of candor, his association with Beauharnofis. Refused permission to tell his story unprompted by questioning his examination developed into a clash of witnesses and interroga- tors before the adjournment late yesterday, Today Senator Mec- Deugald took the stand when the committee met at 11 a.m, Made $1,500,000 Acknowledging cash profits of approximately $500,000 on an in- vestment of about $200,000 in addition to stock-holdings which al present prices would net him another $1,700,000 Senator Mc- Dougald denied that he had been consciously interested in private power developments on the St. Lawrence at any time during his membership of the International Advisory Commission. 'Through hie knowledge of St. Lawrence deepening, however, he agreed he wus placed in an advantageous poeition when he later became in- terested in Beauharnois projects. FORMAL ORDERS ARE ISSUED (Continued from page 1) o'clock. Tactical Exercises On Monday, August 3, the Regi- ment will parade for a tactical ex- ercise at 9. a.m, while the work of breaking camp, prior to returning to returning to permanent head- quarters, will be carried out during the afternoon. Arrangements for the comfort and health of the members of the Regiment are detailed in "Camp Standing Orders" issued by Col. Hodgins. The boundaries of the camp area are clearly defined. Bath- ing 18 strictly prohibited in the wa-~ ters of the creek in the vicinity, while water for drinking purposes will be specified by the Regimental Medical Officer, no other water be- ing used for this purpose. Owing to the fact that a "rally" is being held in Cannington on Monday, August 3, 3 the local branch of the Canadian Legion, "D" Company, which has its headquar- ters at Cannington, is to be excused parades on that day. Capt. L. W. Currell, of the Huron Regiment, is attached to the On- tario Regiment, for the period of the camp.

The two fina! programs were up to the high standard of the other programs during the five day stay. In the afternoon the Lucille Elmore Re- vue Company provided a program that held unusual appeal both for young and old. Lucille El- more herself, once a member of "The Stepping Stones" cast in New York, is a diminutive artist who very much pleased her au- dience with her brilliant imper- sonations, her wit and her vocal and dance numbers. She was ab. Iv assisted by Clare Foster, an unusually smart young pianist and Josef Serpico, a violinist of outstanding merit who studied the great masters. The three comprising the company present- ed one of the most versatile pro- grams of the whole stay, In the evening the company again rendered a program of 45 minutes duration. The Highlight of the evening performance was the characterization of a deacon delivering a sermon in the ab- sence of the minister. This was one of the most comical events of the whole Chautauqua, The feature, however, of the final evening, was the appearances of John Bockewitz, whose clever artistry caught the fancy of the large audience. His previous an- nouncements stated that '"Noth- ing is dry but the chalk," and this was certainly true. Mr. Rockewitz is an artist of excep- tional merit. He uses very large easels and more than a score of colors to produce his pictures which were further enhanced by brilliant light effects. He accom. panied the drawing of his pic- tures with a running fire of am- using comment and the artistic rendition of poetry and prose. His cartoons were another smart feature of his artistry and he added much local interest to his program. The program was pre- sented in such a way that not on- ly did it prove highly entertain- ing but it was also aducational and instructive. The whole made a worthy number to the nine Chautauqua programs. Theres was never a dull moment during his hour on the stage. FELICE SOFTBALL ONCE MORE With the big tent down and the ball ground once again elear the softball schedule will once again get under way tonight and the games that are yet to be piay. ed to complete the first schedule will be run off in quick time. Public School, and Goodyear have a game to play which was post- toned from the beginning of the month. They will likely play to- night, J. LAKE MORDEN ACQUITTED J. Lake Morden, charged with keeping animals at the Cream of Barley Camp 'under unsanitary conditions, was acquitted from the charge when he appeared be- fore Magistrate Alan Campbell, The charge was laid by the Hu- mane Society. Mr. Morden brought nearly a score of wit- nesses who refuted any idea that everything at the Cream of Bar- ley Zoo was not as it should be. Not only was the charge dismiss. ed but the Humane Society was ordered to pay the costs. | City and District News TO VISIT CAMP, At yesterday's meeting of the Cshawa Rotary Club, a pressing invitatton was extended to the members to go to Camp Fifosh, of the 6th local boy scout troop, and participate in a chicken sup. per to .be cooked and servel by the scouts, on Tuesday evening of next week. The Rotary Club guve some financial support to thie camp, which is expected 10 Lave about sixty boys in atiend- ance, and in addition to serving supper, the scouts will present a typical boy scout entertainment for their visitors, A large num- Ler of the Rotarians signified their intention of accepting the invitation. TO SPEAK NEXT WEEK It was announced at Monday's Rotary Club luncheon that the speaker at next week's meeting of the club will be Leon Frazer. VAGRANT REMANDED Herbert William Smith. who appeared in police court this morning on a charge of vagrancy was remanded for investigation for the usual eight days. Smith was taken into custody on July 20 and could not give a clear ac- count of his name of livelihood. NOVEL ADVERTISING STUNT The management of "The Grill" one of Oshawa's most popular establishments for nourishment has invented a very novel and pleasing method of advertising. Neighbouring along the same lines as the "Cigar Store Indian", a full size human figure, in wood, rep- resenting "The Grill Chef" stands in front of the door, holding out a list of his specials for the day. It is thought that this is the first time this method of restaurant ad- vertising has ever been used. The sign is the work of the Art Studio Company, Oshawa. BUS CAUSES TRAFFIC JAM Quite a serious traffic jam was created a few minutes after noon today by the action of a driver in charge of a Gray Line passen- ger bus in stopping his vehicle to drop passengers when just over the intersection, The bus in question was travel- ling eastward on King Street, crossing Simcoe Street with the green light this vehicle was brought to a standstill just a few yards over the intersection, other cars in rear being forced to stop, and await the bus driver's con- venience, before they could pro- ceed. Before the bus was ready to move the green light came on for traffic to move north and south up Simcoe street but this proved impossible because of the line of cars behind the bus. The incident was reported to the police shortly, after it occur- red and it is probable that some action will be taken to prevent a repetition of such an incident. ROTARIANS TRAVEL TO VIENNA ON S.S. ROMA S.S. Roma of the Navigazione Generale Italiana from Naples, Gibraltar arrived at New York, July 20th, with 882 passengers, including the Rotarians from In- ternational Convention at Vienna. Tho Roma has been provided with an attractive open air swim- ming pool for second class pas- sengers constructed on after up- per deck. The passengers will therefore greatly benefit and en- joy new attraction of Lido Life, similar to that found on the fam- ous beach a few miles from Ven- ice. MAN CHARGED WITH CHICKEN THEFTS Harold Tremayne of To- ronto Reémanded for . Eight Days for Pickering Thefts Harold Tremayne, of Toronto, was remanded for eight days by Magistrate Clarke at Pickering last night following the hearing of a charge of stealing chickens the property of a farmer named Gibson, whose farm is located on the Brock Road near Pickering Last week Gibson lost a num- ber of chickens during the night, but the next day found some of them in bags some distance from his house in a clump of bushes, He communicated with Constable Crummer of Pickering, who with a companion spent Friday night on the farm in the hope that the thief would return for his spoils. Late in the evening it is alleged Tremayne arrived nearby in a car and was taken into custody after a short struggle. \ In court last night Tremayne claimed that he was in possession of a car owned by Dr. Glass of Toronto which he was trying out. e told the court that he had rned up the Brock Road and going up a hill, and that he stop- ped to get water. The police claim that there were evidences in the car of chick. en feathers, while a pair of pliers were also- found, which it is thought were used to cut the wire of the coop.

P. A. Macdonald, the chair- man of the Finance Committee, classified as '"'unnecessary expen- ditures,"" were brought before the City Council at the regular meet- ing last night, and approved, in spite of the strenuous objections to their approval put forward by this alderman, The first recommendation to draw the "Finance Minister's" criticism emanated from the Board of Works, the report of this committee, as presented by Ald. S. Jackson, containing the c¢lduse 'that the city donate the sum of $200 towards the cost of instailing a water main from Gibbs Street to the tank in Ro- tary Park." Discussing this recommenda. tion Ald. Macdonald stated, 'I am very much surprised at the Rotary Club asking the city for such a donation irrespective of what it is for. We should donate nothing at this time when there are far greater needs among the unemployed. At the end of June the Relief Department has ex- pended all its funds. We are fac- ed with an exceptionally heavy deficit in this department, and I am very much opposed to any clause of this nature. "I agree that the object is a most worthy one but there would be a great deal more honour to the Rotary Club if it defrayed the whole expense of the project itself. The problem that we must face to-day is that men and women cannot find themselves in enough to eat. We cannot con- tinue on in this manner. We will have to provide groceries and fuel for the winter and the Relief De- partment has absolutely nothing. The time is not opportune to spend anything on luxuries," said Ald. Macdonald, Ald. Puckett agreed with Ald. Macdonald, and seconded the lat- ter's motion that the clause be deleted from the report of the Board of Works. 'People in this city are on the verge of starva- tion. They are unable to pay their rent and are losing their homes. This clause, I think, should be struck out," said Ald. Puckett. Ald. 8. Jackson classified the recommendation "as one of the best that has been before council for some time. I believe that the city should pay the total cost of this work and not only $200. Ald. E, Jackson, Ald. Caunt, Ald. Boddy and Ald. Morris all spoke in favor of this recommen- dation, pointing outs that the cause was a most worthy one for the sake of the children who could not always be running to Lakeview Park, while a large pro- portion of the amount given would be spent in labor and re- lieves unemployment to some ex- tent. Ald. Hyman stated "this money could not be spent any better than for the children," while Ald. Cawker took exception to the words of Ald. Macdonald in clas- sifying the pool as a "luxury." On being put to the Council, Ald. Macdonald's motion that the clause dealing with this donation "be struck out" of the report of the Board of Works was lost, the mover and seconder being the on- ly aldermen to vote in its favor. Fire Chief's Grant The second recommendation dealing with financial matters to be opposed by the Chairman ou Finance was one contained in the report of the Fire Protection and City Property Committee as pre- sented by Ald. George Morris, and read "that W. R. Elliott, Fire Chief, te instructef to attend the Fire Chief's convehtion at Shaw- inigan Falls on August 4,5,6 and 7, and that he be allowed the sum of $50 to defray expenses." Discussing this clause of the report Ald. Macdonald stated that he was again going to oppose this recommendation 'on the grounds of economy. This is not a time to spend money on conventions," said he. "A lot of good can come from these gatherings probably but this is a year when expendi- tures of this nature should be put aside. "I may look at things from a more pessimistic point of view than the majority of aldermen around this council chamber but 'I only oppose this expenditure in the interests of the city. If you examine the finances of the city you will ind an extraordinary state of affairs. We face a deficit of eighteen to twenty thousand dollars on relief,--that is over a mill to be carried forward to next year and our revenues are going down. We must face this condition, $50 may not mean anything in normal times, and I would say "yes" tot, or to $75, but at the present time the money can be spent to more benefit and better advantage." \ Ald, Morris stated his opinion 8), that conventions were y uable. "We have just had one in Oshawa and the merchants in the business section will tell you of the benefit derived. If every municipality took the same stand that Ald. Macdonald would have us take then there would be no convention anywhere. The Fire Chief should be encouraged. He has built up a splendid depart- ment for this city and it is up to us to encourage him." Ald. Kirby suggested that the sum mentioned be increased to $75, moving an amendment to this effect seconded by Ald. Knox, Ald. Boddy supported Ald. Mac~ donald, stating that "we should lay off conventions for this year," and that 'the money can be spent in a more worthy cause." Ald, Hyman agreed with Ald, Kirby, while Ald. Hawkes suggest- ed that the city shoulda pay the Fire Chief's "legitimate expenses" to and from the convention. Ald. Kirby's "amendment to the amendment," increasing the amount of the grant to the Fire Chief to $75, was lost when put to Council, the vote being 6 in favor and 9 against. Ald. Macdonald's amendment that the clause be "struck out" was lost, the mover, Ald. Puckett and Ald. Boddy being the only three members of Council to vote in its favor, the clause being ap- proved by the majority of ">uneil, Obituary DEATH OF MRS. P. J.
