THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1931 PAGE THREE | Bowmanville Daily Times 'Representative's Phone No. 53 HIGHWAY OPENED AT ENNISKILLEN WITH CEREMONY Minister of Highways, in Address Stresses Value of Good Roads The United Counties of Nor- thumberland and Durham's new 14-mile stretch of paved highway from Bowmanville to Blackstock was officially opened yesterday af- ternbon by Hon. Leopold Macau- lay, Minister of Highways in the Ontario Government. The plans for the ceremony went a little a- stray owing to the minister get- ting held up on the road. He was to have joined a procession at Bowmanville at 3.30 p.m. and pro- ceeded to the scene of the cere- mony at Enniskillen. However, he was late and proceeded direct to Hampton where. jt was found the Botfingniille group had not ar- rived and the minister was forced to wait there while the Bowman- ville group went out. The ceremony was an hour late in starting and darkness was just covering the countryside. Snow was blowing hard across the hill where the ceremony took place and despite the freezing atm'os- phere several hundred people turned out for the affair, Warden Geo. Hooton introdu Hon. 'Mr. Macaulay who lost no time in for- mally opening the road by cutting the silken ribbon that stretches across it. The procession then formed again and proceeded to the end of the new highway at Black- stock and then turning around came back to Hampton where a sumptuous banquet was put on in the United Church by the ladies of that church. About 200 sat down to the banquet at which Hon, Mr, Macaulay was the prin- cipal speaker. Value of Good Roads Mr. Macaulay congratulated the United Counties on the build- ing of this new road and also on the fact that Northumberland and Durham had the finest county road system in the province of Ontario, Good roads meant a great deal to this province, he stated, for the tourists' industry, which finds its greatest attraction in good highways has now grown to the third largest industry in the Dominfon. During the past year three and a half million tours ists from the United States enter- ed Canada and stayed on an aver- age of seven days per person. It had been found that they also spent on an average of $5 per day thus bringing to this country and more partt€ularly this province a colossal sum of money each year. With prudent building of high- ways the minister assured his hearers that this industry would shortly become the greatest in- dustry in Canada, The amount coming into the country through good roads, he stated, was more by far than the amount spent by the Ontario Government on new highways.

Working hours were reduced at the same time from 634 hours to 6 hours daily to compensate for the loss of time off. The measure, which becomes effective December 1, the decree explained, was aimed at "correct- ing defects" encountered in the uninterrupted week, The action was regarded here as the most important since the introduction of the piece-work system of wages. The new working week will ap- ply to all enterprises and offices, except those directly connected with serving the cultural and liv- ing needs of the population, such as co-operative stores, dining halls and transportation. One of the most significant fea- tures of the mew ruling was the introduction of 8a common day off. Under the five-day week, days off varied according to shifts, indivi- dual preferences and industries. The six-day week will mean five working days and one day off, the latter falling on the sixth, twelfth, eighteenth, twenty-fourth and thirtieth days of each month, corresponding to the customary, fixed day off in other countries, The five-day week consisted bf Tour days of work and one day 0 A gradual change to the longer and interrupted week has been in progress for some time in vari- ous sections of the country, parti- cularly in the large industrial cen- 'res, since Joseph Stalin's speech ast June in which he said a num- 'er of faults had been found in the five-day uninterrupted week. Under this system, many fac- tories and industries operated continuously throughout the week without regard for days off for their labor. As a result, con- ditions bordering on chaos were experienced in numerous depart- ment bureaus, the authorities found. An enormous breakage of ma- chinery was caused hy inexperi- enced reliefs supplanting yegular operatives, there was insufficient time in which to repair the ma- chines, responsible authority was improperly distributed on the reg- ular officials' days off and there was a general disbrganization of labor. MATL ORDER WIFE REACHES WINNIPEG Mayor Webb Has Part in Romance of English Girl Winnipeg. -- Acquainted through the efforts of Mayor Ralph Webb, William Palmer- ston, for 12 years a resident of Winnipeg, arrived home, recent- ly, with his "mail order wife." Mrs. Palmerston, who until then was Annie Hignett, of Roch- dale, Lancashire, appealed to Ma- yor Webb last July to aid her in a search for a husband in Cana- da. The sympathetic mayor, with the aid of the newspapers, finally located Palmerston who wanted to get in touch with an English girl; object matrim'sny. Letters and. photographs were exchanged; Annie arrived in Que- bec; Willie met her; they were married in the afternoon and left for the west that night. Willie said he had been here 12 years and still didn't like Cana- dian girls. "They're pretty handy with a can opener, but they don't know how to use a frying pan." Annie giggled but said nothing. 90-DAY DIVORCE LAW IN ARKANSAS Supreme Court Ruling Makes Act Effective at Once "Little Rock, Ark.--Arkansas famous for its adherence to the orthodox ways of early settlers, Towns and cities, hoping to lure divorce seekers with fat pocket- books, were jubilant over a Sus preme Court ruling making the 90-day divorce law effective at once.

BOOSTERS' CLUB SOCIAL 'Another large crowd was in at- tendance last night at the weekly euchre party and dance held by the Boosters' Club of St. Greg- ory's congregation, The ladies who won prizes at cards were Mrs. A.

MacDonald who refused it, and then filed a writ of mandamus with the Supreme Court. In denying the petition recent- ly the Supreme Court held that it was illegal on three grounds, dis- missed it and declared the 90- day divorce law effective forth- with. News of the decision spread fast and lawyers in such towns as Hot Springs, El Dorado, Little Rock, Fort Smith and Texarkana began dusting off musty book shelves in anticipation_of a di- vorce stampede. Hotel managers put on extra help and awaited the coming of the first divorce seek- bi before announcing their new rates, ROBOT WAITER HAS BEEN MADE Hotel Man Shows Work of 25 Years of Labor New York.--John F. Daschner, Massachusetts hotel proprietor, came to New York recently to show the press his new invention which he hopes °*will do away with restaurant tipping. Daschner, who resembles the late Enrico Caruso, has rigged up a mechanical waiter which makes it possible for a person to eat a complete meal without the necessity of human help or in- terference. He did not bring the thing down from Worcester, but in- stead brought a movie film of it in action. The film shows two persons sitting in a restaurant. They decide what they want to eat and write the items on a slip of paper, which 1s dropped into a slot on the table. The diners sit and talk for a few minutes. Then the salt and pepper shakers, sugar bowl and lamp in the centre of the table start shaking. That section on which they stand starts rising and reveals a series of trays con- aining the first course. The diners reach out and get their food, Then a lever is pressed and the thing sinks back into position, to come up later with subsequent courses, Daschiner explained that the mechanism is hydraulic and works noiselessly. It took him 25 years to invent it, he said, and now that he has achieved suc- cess, he is ready to retire from business, rest on his laurels and let the waiter stand as his per- sonal contribution to humanity. MICROSCOPE MAY AID MEDICAL HEN Will Magnify to 17,000 Diameters as Compared With 2,000 at Present Pasadena, Cal.--Fourteen years of application by one mur to the development of a mew and pow- erful microscopic instrument has resulted in what was hailed to- day by medical men and sclen- tists as a disovery that may mean much toward checking the spread AMBULANCE SERVICE Phone 1082w DAY or NIGHT The event that brighténed the financial hlorizon of Arkansas, which last year called for federal aid to feed its hungry farmers, was a Supreme Court ruling deny- ing a petition which sought to have the divorce law placed on the Jallot at the next general elec. on. The law, passed by the legisla- ture a year ago, has i held in abeyance ever since the Home Protective Association petitioned the Secretary of State demanding that the people be given a chance to vote on it. The association be- lieved that if the people were giv- en a chance they would repeal the law, described as "outrage. ous." Twelve thousand signers of the of contagious disease. Before a group of medical men, astronomers and other scien- tists last night, a demonstration of the instrument was given by its inventor, Dr. Royal Raymond Rife of San Diego, Calif. The new microscope was cred- ited with a magnifying power of 17,000 diameters, compared with 2,000 diameters, said to be the limit of commercial instruments. Physicians said that it made visible forms of bacteria never before beheld by' man. Dr. Rife's microscope, it was announced, has confirmed the bellef of Dr. Ar- thur I, Kendall, of Northwestern University, that certain com- municable disease germs change their forms and become invisible with ordinary miscroscopes when their environment changes, ---------------- SWEDISH PRINCESS GIVES INTERVIEW Talks Over Telephone With London Newspaper About Engagement London.--Princess Ingrid of Swe- den denied that she was engaged to be married to Count Nils von Ro- sen, an officer in the Swedish Army She denied it by telephone to a re- porter who describes the conversa- tion in this article. "She was in the royal palace in Stockholm. I was in the Daily Ex- press office in London." A telephone is an ordinary method of communication, and royalties are less remote from the world than they used to be. Nevertheless it struck me that there was something in ringing up a princess in Sweden about her rum- ored engagement at least as stimu- lating as seeing film actors ape roy- alties on the screen. : Chilly Emphasis Princess Ingrid had been alleged to have told friends, while she was in England for Lady May Cam- bridge's 'wedding, that she was de- termined to marry Count Nils von Rosen regardless of opposition, that she considered herself engaged to him and that she was optimistic of the future. She is the daughter of Princess Margaret of Connaught, who was the Crown Prince of Sweden's first wife. Rumor has been concerned for some years with finding her a bride- groom and the names of our own Princes have been mentioned in that connection, If she were suddenly to marry a nobleman or a commoner not of roy- al blood, simply as her heart dic- tated, how romantic that would be! She declared to me, however, with chilly emphasis that the wish had been father to the mis-statement in the story. I asked for a call to be put through to Princess Ingrid at the Royal Palace, Stockholm. Half an hour elapsed then "You are through," said the exchange, "to the Royal Palace, Stockholm, Speak up, please." "Hullo ?" voice, "This is the Daily Express speak- ing from London," I replied, "A newspaper here published this morn- ing an announcement of Princess Ingrid's engagement to. Count Nils von Rosen. 1 would be glad if her Royal Highness would confirm or deny the announcement." "It is absolutely untrue," the woman's voice. "Am I speaking to Princess In- grid?" "You are." "Then, ma'am," I proceeded, "is there any truth in the suggestion that you mentioned this engagement while you were here?" : "None whatever." "You did not say you regarded yourself as*engaged to him and in- tended to marry him." "I did not. It is a canard, It has no foundation at all." "And you have nothing to add to your denial ?* "I have nothing at all to add, ex- cept that I think the situation is ex- tremely unfortunate." "Thank. you, ma'am," I said. "I much appreciate your courtesy." Perhaps there are other royal pal- aces in which it is as easy and plea- sant to talk with a princess about her matrimonial affairs, but I doubt it. il inquired a woman's came Immediately, Must be ex perionced and accurate, Stenography . while not es- sential, preferred.

London, Nov. 23---A balloon as- cension to a height of 80,000 feet, nearly 16 miles, has been planned by Eustace and Oswal Short, broth- ers, who are partners in one of the oldest aircraft companies in Great Britain. y Sitting in a small hermetically sealed metal ball, the brothers hope to continue the exploration into the stratosphere which was started by Prof. August, Picard, Belgian phy- sicist, whose sensational ascension last summer almost ended in disas- ter in the Austrian Tyrol. The Short brothers, who are bal- loon experts, believe they will be able to keep in touch with ground stations by radio telephone during the entire time they are aloft. They will equip their sealed car with every known device for measuring air conditions in the rarified atmos- phere into which their balloon will carry them. English Balloonists Planning to Ascend 16 Miles Above Earth Calculations show the balloon should reach its maximum height about one hour after taking off. The two pilots, who will probably take a skilled scientific observer with them, will conduct their re- searches and then begin a slow des- cent. They expect the whole adven- ture will take about six hours, So little is known about the direc- tion and speed of the currents in the stratosphere that the explorers say they cannot tell where they will land, although they would not be surprised if they came down in fhe Steppe country of Russia, While no definite location has been set for the ascension, it is con- sidered likely the take-off will be made at Cardington formerly the site of the Royal Air Force dirigible research base, which was abandoned shortly after the crash of the dirig- ible R-101 in France with the death of 48 men. STATUE OF POLAR EXPLORER BUNT IN SWEDISH TOWN Impressive Ceremony Held in Honor of Finn Malmgren Stockholm.--A solemn and inspir- ing ceremony took place in the old Swedish university town of Upsala recently when a magnificent statue of Finn Malmgren, the young polar explorer, who lost his life during the tragic Nobile expedition, was solemnly dedicated. The Rector Magnificus of the University, Pro- fessor T. Unden, in his speech re- called how the young hero gave his lite by remaining alone to die in order to enable his two Italian com- panions Mariano and Zappi to go on and to be saved. Malmgren, when feeling that his strength gave out, in spite of the protests of his comrades, forced them to continue their march toward safety, wav- ing God-speed to them as long as they were in sight. Mariano and Zappi in a state of the utmost ex- haustion were finally saved, while Malmgren remained alone to die in the icy wilderness of the arctic sea. 2 His heroism so fired the imagina- tion and the admiration of his fel- low-countrymen that when a sub- scription was started to erect a monument more than 10,000 persons responded. In this way a far larger sum than was needed for the statue was brought together, The surplus was made into a fund named "Finn Malmgren's Memorial Fund," the proceeds of which will be used for supporting the scientific research of which he was an exponent, A sensational and touching tribute was added to the celebration by the arrival immediately before the cere- mony of an aeroplane carrying Com= mandant Mariano, one of Malm- gren's two companions on his last journey, who with deep emotion de- posited a wreath on behalf of the two Italian comrades for whom the Swede gave his life. LEARNED SWEDISH TO READ OLD BOOK Stockholm.--The old saying that books have their fates is strikingly confirmed by the romantic story of a 200 year old Swedish bible, .re- cently published in the Swedish press. : The descendant of an Indian chief recently presented a Swedish-Am- erican Museum with a Charles XII bible, which had been treasured in his family for centuries, About 17- 20 a Swedish sailor on board a Dutch vessel anchored off the coast of Northern Mexico, had to flee for his life from the crew and would have been killed but for an Indian chief, Chipaqua, who derended and protected the fugitive from his pur- suers, Out of gratitude the Swede asked the Indian to accept a gift, and Chipaqua's choice fell on a bulky edition of the bible published during the reign of the famous hero King Charles XII, and brought across the seas by the Swedish sailor. Chipaqua and his later des- cendants, although unable to read Swedish, venerated the imposing folio as a sacred family heirloom and carried it with them when mov- ing from' one district to another, The modern descendant of the old chief, however, has studied law and became 2 barrister, When he heard that gifts were being solicited for a new Swedish-American museum, he sent the old Swedish bible to the curators explaining how it had hap- pened to come into the possession of his family, He wudded that his interest in the: ancient voldme was so great that he had even learned the Swedish language in order to be able to read it. BLIND GIRL WINS HONORS AT SCHOOL Blindness Allows Her to Concentrate Milwaukee, Wis, -- Clementine Wien, 17-year-old blind girl, has been selected valedictorian of the January graduating class of South Division High Schools. "I've had a big advantage over the students who can see," she re- marked, "People passing the win- dow, a boy making races, or a paper wad fight does not distract me. No- thing for me to do but concentrate so, of course, I get good marks." Clementine has never seen a test tube, but she can make chemicals behavé in a manner that dismays other students, Her four year av- erage in a science course is 93.38. Next year she will be in a college somewhere. : LEONORA BRAHAM IS DEAD IN LONDON Famous English Actress Appeared in Canada in 1878 London.~Creator of the role of Yum-Yum, Leonora Braham, known the world over to stage followers of the past generation, died here res cently, the actress and vocalist who 1 her first stage appearance in Lon= don in 1874 and played in the first production of Gilbert and Sullivan's "The Mikado" in 1885, performances, In Victorian Day Miss Braham was known as one ol the sweetest-voiced sopranos.
