Winner Is Pupil of Albert Street School Principal, Miss T. A. Patton NAME WILL BE PLACED ON CHALLENGE SHIELD Judges in Toronto Were Unanimous in Choice -- Other Competitors Men- i tioned for Able Work First prize in the fire preven- ffon essay contest recently, con- ducted in the schools of Oshawa has been awarded to Winnie Griffin, 13 year old fourth grade pupil of Albert Street Public School, according to an announce- ment received this morning from J. B. Ritchie, fire prevention en- gineer for the province, who acted as judge in the contest. By winning the contest Winnie brings to Albert Street School the shield donated by the city council and will have her name engraved on it as the winner. Winnie is a pupil of Miss T. A. Patton, senior fourth grade teacher in Albert Street School and commenting on her essay Mr. Ritchie states that it was selected both by himself and by an independent judge who over- looked the essays. Honourable mention was also awarded to six other pupils whose essays ranked almost equal to the winning essay submitted by Winnie Griffin. Those receiving honourable mention were: Roset- ti Witte, St. Gregory's; Sybil Coulthurst, North Simcoe; Myrtle Beckman.-Centre Street; Dolores Krantz, King Street; Veronica Johnston, St. Gregory's and Neil Bennett, Centre Street. Mr. Ritchie's letter to Fire Chief Elljott reads in part. "The winner was chosen sole- ly on the merits of the essay, without considering who had won it last year or from where any particular contestant received in- formation. As a matter of fact no fault could be found if some of the children got their information from their parents or from any other source whatever, so long as they compiled it and wrote it themselves, We actually encour- age them to seek out as many sources of information as pos- sible. "In arriving at a decision we found it rather difficult to come to a definite conclusion because while some excelled from a lit- erary viewpoint they were defici- ent in ideas for Fire Prevention, and others not go good from a literary viewpoint gave evidence of considerable study on the part of the writers. The essays were marked on the basis of 50% for literary style and 50% for Fire Prevention facts and ideas. On this basis seven of the essays were found to be almost equal, although the two independent examiners chose Winnie Griffin | for first place. I am returning the essays to you herewith, as requested in your letter of Octo- ber 27th." CITIZENS' BAND ELECTED OFFICERS At a business meeting of the Oshawa Citizen's Band held last night the following officers were elected: Assistant Bandmaster, ¥. VonGumten; president, A. H. White; vice-president, F. Brit- ten? secretary-treasurer, G. Bils- cham; property manager, J. H. . Askew; librarian, H. C, Carnell. A committee meeting will be held next week at which plans for the coming season will be drawn up and some minor ch: 8 made in the band so that the citizens of Oshawa can look for still fur- ther Amprovement from their band in 1932. Ess s RSE EREERE ESN Ald, Geo. T. Morris To Run For Mayor The first hat was thrown into the ring for the mayoralty fight next month by Ald. eorge Morris at the meeting of the city council last night. Ald. Morris announced his intention of running for the chief magistrate's chair to his fellow alder- men during the coursé of the meeting, and also let them in on the secret that he was going to be elected. IEE SE NE ERE EE ERS ER eraser WIZARD CONTROL IS NEW FEATURE Latest Model of McLaugh- lin-Buick Is Miracle of Control Full explanation of "Wizard Control", declared to be a startl- ing innovation in motor-car op- eration, will be given to the pub- lic on November 14th. On that day, according to an announce- ment ° from General Motors of Canada, Limited, Oshawa, Mec- Laughlin-Buick's new line of Straight Eights for 1932 will be formally presented. Details about the cars that are to succeed the original McLaugh- lin-Buick Straight Eights indi- cate that an entirely new method of car control has been intro- duced, one that represents the longest step forward in this phase of automotive engineering that has been made in recent years. The new McLaughlin-Buicks are also sensational in their adapta- tion of the modern trend in body lines. The distinguishing name of "Wizard Control" has been given to the mechanical evolution achieved with an automatic pow- er-operated clutch combined with improved free-wheeling and the already famous silent-second syncro-mesh transmission. Wizard Control embodies principles never before employe' in automotive engineering, and notwithstandine various interpretations of free- wheeling already familiar to the motoring public, certainly seems to bring new comfort and secur- ity to motoring. The McLaughlin. Buick automatic clutch gives all the advantages of free-wheeling, with the added security of in- stantaneous, positive control. Makes For Uncanny Control A touch of the foot on a floor- hutton makes possible the shift- ing of gears without the use of the clutch pedal, and when you are "away", the release of the accelerator gives you free-wheel- ing. But the moment the foot is removed from the button, or the accelerator depressed again, the clutch will engage smoothly, either operation making positive connection with the engine, In- stantaneous, almost uncanny in its easy application, is the change from free-wheeling to conven- tional control or vice versa, The conventional clutch pedal Is there, all the time, but it need not be used unless the driver de- sires, An advantage of "Wizard Control" is its remarkable sim- plicity of construction and op- eration. From all opinions on its gen- eral appearance McLaughlin- Buick has produced this year the handsomest cars in its history. From the radiator, flanked by dual trumpet-shaped horns, to the dual tail lamps, every line is new. The sloping V-V windshield has a rakish tilt, lessening wind resistance, with the customary (Continued on page 3) MAYOR BREATHES Speaks of Shaking Mike Bouckley Till Jaws Rattle Mayor Ernie Marks was feeling pretty hot under the collar today when seen by The Times. He thinks that Mike Bouckley's brag about throwing him down the sewer cer- tainly formed a very odorous state- ment, : "I never saw a little fellow with as big a swelled head as Mike's in my lite," said His Worship. "A good many men would go over to the store and take him by the scruff of the neck, or the other extreme, and shake him until his jaws rattled. So far as I am concerned, I wouldn't be Mayor of a city that couldn't raise $10,000 in one day in order to uphold the dignity of its Chief Ma- gistrate." : "[ am going to win this het and Mike's going to have callouses on his hands from wheeling me. I am advertising on the screen at my theatre for a straw hat and a wheel- barrow for him and anybody wish- ing to donate these, please deliver them to Fire Chief' Elliott at the Fire Hall, in order to save Mike's energy, as he is going to need it all," said the Mayor, his face fairly white with anger. ' THREATS AT MIKE| PROGRAM ONE OF 'REMEMBRANCE Suitable Ceremonies Have Been Arranged For Tomorrow The complete program for the celebration of the first '"'Remem- brance Day' to be kept as a pub- lic holiday in Canada, under the provisions of a Dominion Statute, will be a most suitable one as ar- ranged in this city by the local branch of the Canadian Legion. At 1.45 a.m. the members of the Canadian Legion together with all war veterans, Mayor Er- nie Marks and the members of the City Council, and several oth- er organizations which have signi- fied their intention to join in this ceremony, will form up at the Armouries and march down to the Memorial Cenotaph in the "Gar- den of the Unforgotten." At eleven o'clock, in common with the whole of the British Em- pire and all the countries of the Allies during the Great War, the solemn two minutes of complete silence will be observed. The ob- servation of this solemn period will be universal in Oshawa with all factories and business places completely suspending operations as they have in previous years. Following the two minutes of silence a brief memorial service is to be conducted at the Ceno- taph by Rev. Captain E. Harston, Chaplain of the Oshawa branch of the Legion, officiating. Following this service memor- fal wreaths will be laid at the base of the Cenotaph by officials of the Legion, members of the City Council and other public bodies, and individual citizens. Evening Memorial Service At 7.30 pm. a "Public Remem- brance Service' is to be held un- der arrangements made by the Canadian Legion in the Auditor- ium of the Collegiate Institute at which the principal gpeakers will be Rev. Canon Hedley of Toron- to and Lt.-Colonel B. 8. Hoover, Treasurer of the Legion Provin- cial Command. The Band of the Ontario Regi- ment is to parade to this service while a large portion of the regi- ment itself will be on parade in uniform for the occasion. During this service the music will be led by the Legion Choir. The support and co-operation given to the Legion in making the day a success, and in assuring that the celebration shall be a suitable one, is described by offi- cials of the veterans' organization as "most encouraging." ARMISTIGE DAY IN OLD COUNTRY The King Will Lay Wreath on London's Cenotaph London, Nov, 10 -- Arrangements for the commemoration of Armis- tice -Day in England this year are much on the lines of previous years. The two minutes' silence will be observed throughout Great Bri- tain. All traffic, except that on the railways, will come to a stand. The King and Queen and the Prince of Wales will be present for the observation of the silence at the Cenotaph at 11 a.m. on Wednesday. The Queen and other ladies of the Royal Family will witness the cere- mony from windows overlooking the Cenotaph. Detachments of the Navy, the Army, and the Royal Air Force, and the Merchant Navy and fishing fleets, together with a contingent of ex-service men and women will orm a hollow square at the Cenotaph. Music will be played by the bands of the brigade of Guards between 10.30 and 11 a.m. The choir of the Chapel Royal, suppl ed by bers of the Westminster Abbey special choir, will assemble at the Cenotaph, and the Bishop of London will conduct the service, Shortly before 11 am, a wreath will be placed at the base of the Cenotaph by the King. The Prince of Wales will also deposit a wreath and wreaths will subsequently be laid on behalf of other members of the Royal Family, On the first stroke of 11 a.m., belng sounded by Big Ben two minutes' silence will be observed. _ The service will be on similar lines to previous years and will be broadcast. At St. Paul's, after. a service in- side the Cathedral, the silence will be observed in the steps, where bugles will sound the Last' Post. There will also be the usual special service in Westminster Abbey, The United States Office of Edu- cation maintains in Alaska 93 schools for natives, employing 195 teachers and having a daily average i more than 3000.

District Commander | To Inspect Regiment Major-General Ashton to Review Local Battalion on Sat- urday--Church Parade to St. George's on Sunday Afternoon The Ontario Regiment is to be formally 'inspected on Saturday afternoon of this week by the Officer Commanding Military Dis- trict No. 2., Major-General Ash- ton, this ceremonial parade mark- ing the conclusion of the six weeks fall training period which has been carried out under the direction of Major R, B. Smith. On Saturday afternoon the Regiment is to parade at the Ar- mouries at 1.45 o'clock when "C" and "D" Companies will be eresent from Whitby and Can- nington, and every available offi- cer and man will be on parade. Following the ceremonial in- spection field tactical exercises are to be carried out at which the District Officer Commanding will be Chief Umpire. Following the ceremonial in- spection, on Saturday, the Regi- ment is to parade for Divine ser- vice in St. George's Church on Sunday afternoon. The colours of the regiment hang in this beautiful edifice and it is considered only right that the battalion should therefore, parade to this church for ser- vice. "D"" Company, with headquar- ters at Cannington, are remain- ing over in the city for the church parade, and will be billet- ed in the Armouries on Saturday night. 'A most attractive pro- gram of entertainment is being provided for the officers, non- commissioned afficers and men of "D" Company, the principal attraction being in the form of a Cance on Saturday evening, Mother of Parliaments Opened (By Canadian Press) London, Nov. 10. -- In the great chamber of the House of Lords, glowing with scarlet, gold and precious stones, the King to- day officially opened parliament. As the King, accompanied by the Queen, entered the chamber, they faced a scene of splendor. Uniformed ambassadors were grouped on the right and centre of the floor which was packed with peers, In the galleries, the princes of india who are attending the round table conference, splashed notes of an oriental color. There was a brief pause while by the King the gentleman of the black rod summoned the faithful commons to the Bar of the House of Lords, Tnen, in a clear voice, His Maj- erty read the Speech from the Throne, it contained reference to re- cept from the Canadian Govern- ment of an invitation to an Im- perial Conference at Ottawa, ic referred to "the clear and em- phatic mandate," given the Na- tional Government in the general election in endorsation of mea- tures taken to balance the bud- get and to give the government authority to frame plans for en- suring favorable balance of trade. FIVE WEN DEAD IN LANDSLIDE Were Buried Under Tons of Earth in Excavation (By Canadian Press) Flerreville, Que, Nov. 10. Five men, employed on excava- tion work on the shores of the St. Francis River, in Nicolet County near here, lost their lives last right when a landslide buried them under tons of earth, The bodies of the victims were re- covered early this moriing about seven hours after the men were trapped. The dead are, Theophile Ca- pino, Pierreville; Mederic Mon- don, Plerreville; M. Menard, Montreal; and Wilfrid St. Ger- main, St. Pile De Cuire, Gue. ENCORE He was a bit shy, and after she had thrown her arms around him and kissed him for bringing her a bouquet of flowers, he. arose and started to leave. "I am sorry I offended you," she said. "Oh, I'm not offended," he replied. "I'm going for more flowers." MONDAY'S DANCE A BIG EVENT Most Enjoyable Program Now Being Arranged The big dance and masquerade on Monday, November 16 to be held in th: armouries is rast taking definite form and with every addition the enjoyment of those who attend will be enhanced. There is no doubt but that it will be the biggest eve- ning's entertainment ever put on in Oshawa and no other project: that has ever been presented here has given so much for so little money. Snell's orchestra, it is learned, are preparing a special program of dance music that is designed to ap- peal to even the most fastidious dance enthusiast, The orchestra will be augmented by a number of mu- sicians who will present a program of up to the minute numbers, The program of dance music is being broken up so that those who do not wish to dance may be catered to. A number of intermissions are be- ing arranged rather than one long period so that special attractions may be presented. City Relief Work on Week About System Starting Thursday of this week unemployed working on the city relief work program will be employed by al- ternate weeks following the adop- tion of a resolution to that effect by the city. council last night, Enough work was in sight with the addition of the employment being started by the Public Utili- ties Commission on the new fil- tration plant to provide work wor all men in the city on the re- liet rolls, Ald. P. A, MacDonald announced. Speaking to The Times Ald. P, A. Macdonald stated that 218 men would go on Work this Thursday when the shift changed. These men will be replaced next Thursday providing work for a total of 436 men on city work, As soon as the work on the P.U, C. filtration plant starts employ- ment will be provided for a num- ber in excess of the number actually receiving relief from the city he stated. - While the registration of un- employed early in the fall show- ed considerably more than 2,000 men out of work at that time this number has been considerably reduced since that time, city of- ficlals state, The actual number of unemployed in the city is not definitely known at present but those dctually seeking relief la- hour or help from the city do not number much more than 500 at present. "What are you going to do if it rains two days in a week and the men on that shift lose that time?" asked Ald. Tom Knox. "I think you should provide six days work for every man and change the shifts according to the num- ber of days they have worked." "lI am afraid that would be impossible though I would like to divide the work evenly." replied Ald. Macdonald. "It would be difficult to-arrange the shifts to change on different days and would complicate the pay rolls. However this work will continue all winter and during that time days last by bad weather will probably balance against both shifts." 5 So far this fall men on relief labour have only had three days work every two weeks or more. Any additional work was pro- vided on grading and men re- ceived direct relief orders for two days and cash for one day on a three day shift. Now that the council has started the regular relief work program the system of paying men in part by direct relief orders will be discontinued in the near future. The study of English is required in nearly all high schools and col- leges of China and Japan. | Oshawa Times Will Be Published on Remembrance Day In common with the Toronto newspapess and several of the newspapers throughout the Province, The Times will be published as usual tomorrow. Remembrance Day will be observed in all departments by two minutes of respectful sil- $hee at 11 fom. during which me all work will stop and the plant be shut down. P HOME INFLUENCE MOST IMPORTANT Bethune College Principal Addressed Rotarians on Child Training Much of the popular psychology and philosophy of today was sub- versive to morals declared Miss Margaret_ Oughterson, principal of Bishop Bethune College, in an in- teresting address on the young gen- eration before members of the Osh- awa Rotary Club at their regular luncheon meeting in the Genosha Hotel yesterday, Careful superyis- ion of the literature coming into the home and a censorship of the moving pictures seen by children was urged by Miss Oughterson. "I am not one of those who con- sider the young people of today any different than were their parents or their grandparents," said Miss Oughterson. "The world they are asked to live in is different, it is much harder, more difficult for them to live in than the world many of us knew when we were young. We are responsible for this world and for the fact that many young lives are wrecked by the difficylties they discover." ' Children of today were often not so much misguided as unguided de- clared the speaker. The home in- fluence was the most powerful in life but because of modern condi- tions of life there was frequently no home influence felt by a child. Parents too busy or preoccupied by pleasure to spend time with their children had undisciplined boys and girls she declared, With sthe fading of the old stan- dards had come the secularization of many schools and universities and lack of definite moray training, said Miss Oughterson. There was a vast amount of subversive teach- ing of psychology which declared restraints and inhibitions ~ were harmful, to the child. "Prohibitions and inhibitions. have given us a sense of duty to our neighbors and to the community," declared the speak~ A Mixed Blessing New facilities for intercourse and the breaking down of international barriers had not been an unmixed blessing declared Miss Qughterson. Many persons were strong interna- tionalists without realizing fully the results of the attitude they adopt- ed, she claimed. Each nation had its own ethics and standards of re- ligion, Because of the diversity of views pressing for attention many people were suffering from "moral indigestion." "We should take time for very serious thought before we accept the standards of other countries on an ecqual footing with our own," warned Miss Oughterson. Accepting the opinions of many teachers of child psychology many parents were allowing their children to grow up without control declared Miss Oughterson. The dangerous doctrine that a child should not be restrained led to the necessity of belated spankings which should have been given early in life. "Sooner or later you have to con- trol the child which grows up with- out restraint," she declared, "I ask you to think seriously about the literature that is coming into your homes," asked the speak- er. "Not only the stories in the periodicals but many of the adver- tisements arouse in children a mor- bid curiosity, and if we could censor our films a little our children would have a more balanced view of life." The unbalanced picture of life presented in many moving pictures was scored by Miss Oughterson who should be taught that they wers as unreay as fairy stories. A Canadian film industry was suggest- ed by Miss Oughterson who expres- sed a preference for British and French' films before those of the United States. The reaction of boys to discipline was better than that of girls said Miss Oughterson who reminded her hearers that she had been in Eton College, England, for 25 years be- fore becoming principal of the Bishop Bethune College. Boys, she declared, could take a "talking to" and stand up to it. A girl who was being reprimanded would burst into tears, but girls were more import- ant, she asserted because they were the mothers of tomorrow and would have a tremendous influence. - Miss Oughterson urged the Ro- tary Club to take an interest in work among girls in the future as well as its interest in boys and in crippled children. The speaker was introduced by Rotarian William Gilbert, SUDBURY PLANT EFFICIENT ONE Was Visited by Editor of The Times Yes- terday (By M. McIntyre Hood) Dis Company, which bas made an offer to construct a similar type rlant at Oshawa, is as yet prac- tically untried and untested. It was put into operation only two weeks ago, and in that time has heen subjected to minor adjust- ments, such as are always neces- sary in a new plant. The of- ficial opening ceremony, is sched- uled to take place next Monday and in the near future it is ex- pected that it will be possible to give an accurate estimate of its efficiency, The above information was given to me this afternoon by R. H. Martindale, superintendent of water, light and sewers. Mr. Martindale, under whose depart- ment the plant is operated, is, however, well satisfied with the thoroughness of the installation of the equipment and is satisfied that it will meet the needs of Sudbury, Whether such a plant would be suitable for a city like Oshawa, however, i8 a question he would not care to answer, g/nce, in Oshawa the effluent would be discharged directly in- to Lake Ontario, for which the city alsc derives its water sup- ply. This is rather an important joint, as we will show later. The construction of this mech- anical type of sewage disposal plant is the first step ever taken by this city in the direction of gcientific sewage disposal. Two rapidly flowing creeks, one from the northeast, and one from the northwest, intersect the city, join at a central point, then flow off to the southwest as a single stream. In the past, all the sew- ago has been emptied at various polirts, into this stream, has pass- éd out beyond the city, into a little lake about a mile ana & half to two miles away. This lake, in turn, empties into an- other stream, which has its out- let in the Georgian Bay. In all of this route of progress however, the sewage-laden waters flow through practically uninhabited, rocky country, exposed to the ac- tion of nature, and no commun- ities depend on these streams or the lake for their water supply. Operation is Simple The mechanical operation of the plant, which cost Sudbury $192,000, plus the cost of sewers, appears simple. It was built be- cause the two streams, owing to the growth of the city, were becoming badly fouled with sew- age. So a large sewer was con- structed, leading from the centre of the city to the site of the new plant, with smaller gravity sew- ers feeding into. it from all parts of the community. On reaching the plant, sewage paeses through fine but very itrong screens, which hold back the solids and let the liquid pass through. The effluent, after passing through the screens, is vemarkably clear and clean, but it must be remembered that noth- ing takes place in this process to reduce the bacteria count in the water. Periodically the screens are cleared of the solid matter, which passes to the incinerator and is burned. (Continued on page 8) CAMPAIGN GOFS 'ON THE AIR Broadcast For Welfare Societies on Monday Oshawa will be "on the air" next Monday evening on the eve of the campaign of the Associated Wel- fare Societics for funds for relief work during the coming year. An appeal for public support of the campaign will be broadcast from station CKGW between 6.25 and 6.30 Monday evening. The time tor the broadcast has been donated to the campaign committee through the courtesy of The Evening Tele- gram and CKGW, The broadcast will take place at the same time as a dinner being given in the Genosha Hotel to cam- paign workers when definite in- structions will be given to canvass- ers and final announcements will be made by Chairman Ross McKin- non. The committee will endeavour to have every radio in the city tun- ed in on CKGW at the time and the broadcast will be heard from a local speaker in the dining hall of the Hotel, Sudbury, Nov. 9.

Appointment of Consulting Engineer Not Yet Made by City--Will Consider This on Friday Evening Only a disposal plant providing complete treatment of sewage by the activated sludge process and the digestive treatment will be accept- able to the provincia department of health for the city of Oshawa, Dr. W. J. Bell, deputy minister of health, and Dr. A. E. Berry, pro vincial sanitary engineer assured members of the Oshawa council at a special meeting in committe last night, Though refusing to express opinions on the definite system of different engineers both officials of the health department left no doubt in the mind. of the aldermen as 40 which svstem they favoured. In spite of the advice received from the rep-esentatives of the de- partment the council again delayed decision on the sewage disposal plant by referring decision on the choice of consulting engineer until another meeting on Friday night The delay was advised by Ald, George Morris, who declared that the council should seek to get he engineers for the best price possible, I'm not going to vote for any engineer without making a bargain with him", declared Ald, Morris, "Every member of the council and most people in the city are receiving less for their work hap thd; were a few years ago. There is no rea- son why engineers should not take a cut as well" Possibility of Oshawa building 2 plant similar to that recently coms pleted in Sudbury by the San Diie engineering Company which a num- ber of the aldermen thought would save the city money, was disposed of by the health officers who de- clared it would not meet the needs of Oshawa. Sudbury was able to use only partial treatment, they der clared, because the sewage went ine to Kel® lake, sewerage lake in a barren piece of country with no people living near it. Stressed Urgent Need "Unquestionably Oshawa must build a sewage disposal plant and this is a most opportune time," de- clared Dr, W, J. Bell, who first ad- dressed the council. "With a pre- sent population of 24,000 and the probabiility that as times improve the city will grow a proper sewage disposal plant is one of your Jost urgent needs. The only place you can run your sewage is into the lake which is also the source of your drinking water, It is of first im= portance tg protect the source of vour water." "There may be some uncertainty regarding the meaning of the man= vo datory order issued by the departs. «a ment", suggested Dr. A, E., Berry who discussed technical details with the council. "Only complete treat- ment will be satisfactory here and by that we mean the activated sludge system. Screening or any. thing short of complete treatment will not be satisfactory for Oshawa", "Do you approve of the Sudbury method for use here?" asked Ald, Louis Hyman, 'No! It is not suitable for Osh awa. It has no activated sludge treatment," declared Dr Berry. He explained the activated sludge treat- ment of sewage by blowing air through it and the fianl resultant practically clear effluent, Answering a question by Ald. Morris, Dg, (Continued on page 3) ; LIBRARY STAFF HAS SUBSCRIBED Unsolicited Donation of $60 Made to Welfare Fund "It was announced this morning by Ross McKinnon, chairman of the Campaign Committee for the Associated | Welfare Societies, that a subscription of $60, had beén received from the staff of the Oshawa Public Library.
