THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, APRIL 21, 1932 PAGE THREE Bowmanville Daily Times J..C. LARMER, REPRESENTATIVE Office Telephone No. 744 LADIES' NIGHT ATROTARY CLUB Rotary Annes Provide Ex- cellent. Program and Conduct Meeting The usual custom of holding the weekly luncheon of the Rotary Club -at noon on Friday was departed from this week when Wednesday evening was chosen as Ladies' Night. The ladies took charge of the programme and the members and guests spent a most interesting and instructive evening, Mrs, J. H. H. Jury acted as president; Mrs, W R Strike as sergeant-at-arms; pian- ist, Miss D. S. Morrison; song lead- er, Mrs. G. E. Reaman. Miss Wright, of Toronto, delighted the gathering in the rendering of sever- al vocal selections, while the guest speaker for the evening was Mr. E. Wylie Grier, well known artist of Toronto. Mrs. Jury presided and introduced the speaker, stating that he was born in Australia and edu- cated at Rome, The substance of Mr, Grier's ad- dress was the condemnation of mo- dernistic paintings and he warned his listeners to not be led astray from something they liked to the stuff that the people of Paris were trying to make themselves believe were masterpieces. Examples of these so called masterpieces were thrown on the screen and caused much amusement, In contrast some of the really fine works of English painters of the 60's were shown, All details were realistic and true to nature. Some of the smallest details were perhaps the most difficult to dis- play, he explained, - Painters are trying to live up to a ridiculous language, but the public is begin- ning to detest these paintings and they are not buying them because they are not interested. Modernism has invaded the United States and is destroying their art. In London the number of real masterpieces for sale is small and on this account the artists are unwisely favoring these modern works to creatg sales. "The public is not always right in their judgment of art," Mr. Grier said, "and the artist is not always right, but when a painting pleases you there is something in it you can understand, you should be zuid- ed by that.instinct."

MAN IS OWNER OF ° BIBLE DATED 1584 Maple Creek, Sask. -- Rev. Rural Dean P. C. Hackworth, of this city has a bible dated 1584, he stated recently when his at- tention was drawn to the claim that a Whitby, Ont., man had the oldest Bible in Canada. The Whitby Bible was dated 1652. Mr. Hackworth's bible was printed by Christopher Barker, "Printer to the Queenes Majes- tie." It is an old-Black letter," and uses the old-fashioned "s" that looks life *f"", As in the case of the Whithy bible, the covers are of wood, covered with leather. The edges of the pages are almost black with age, just as though the vol- ume had been through a fire. It has evidently been used as a family bible and contains a good marcy entries of baptisms, such as' ""Mabell Windor, ye daughter of Peter Windor, was baptized ye thirteen of February, 1635." "John Johnson, ye sonne of Luke Johnson, was baptized ye First day of Novemher, Ano-1662. "Jezbell Johnson, ye daughter of Luke Johnson, was baptized ye 2nd day of August Ano 1669. "John Roxton owneg this boke. God give grace on it to take. 1895:"" There are many such entries and the ink is as black as the day it was used. It is the old- fastoned ink made from "oak galls." T--- It is rather interesting to no- tice that between the . entry of 1635 and that of 1669, they had learned to use capital letters for people's names and proper nouns. Rail and air transport of parcels and other freight to places abroad has been inaugurated by England's four railways and its commercial aviation company. [- New comfort for the eyes.

I agree that some of them may have been not within sense or reason, but those that we make now we do with the best interests of Oshawa at heart." In conclusion Mr, McDonald ask- ed that council consider strongly urging the establishment of a pro- tective insurance scheme by the Government, being assured by the Mayor that a resolution urging and endorsing such a scheme had al- ready been adopted by council and forwarded to the proper authorities, Mayor Hawke's Reply + In replying to the deputation Mayor Hawkes stated as regards the opening of the food store "you forget the idea behind this move, that the council is making an effort to save public money. "We hope, through the establish- ment of this depot, not only to he able to operate more economically but also to operate more efficiently, to treat those who have to ask for increase, better than we have been doing in the past. "I am afraid that some people have got the idea that this depot will mean less help, That idea is quite wrong, we hope it will mean more help at less cost." Plea for Merchants Mr. Seaver: "I think one of the main ideas of our being here is to protect the small merchants, Among the rank and file of our body we feel that they are deserving of con- sideration." Mayor Hawkes: "It is not the small merchant, the corner grocer, who will suffer the most from a loss of orders by the proposed depot. Some of the big chain stores have accounts running up to two ane three hundred dollars each month while the average corner grocer only has an account of six or seven dol- lars. Speaking to some of the small merchants, am repeating what they ay now, I am told that many of as for orders on one of the chain stores." Benefit to Stores Ihe Mayor explained to the de- putation that in St, when this method of relief had fir been talked of, there had criticism from the merchants they had soon secn to be derived Salarjes Cut Eddie McDonald: "In St. Cath- arines the funds are raised by public subscription. Here in Oshawa civic salaries have been cut, teachers salaries have been cut. There arc now no large salaries paid in the city. These people are on the verge of hardship, especially if they have a family, When these people arc asked for a subscription towards a relief fund they will say no, but if salaries had remained the same then a campaign for funds might have been sucéessful, w + City Set Example The city has set the example and it was immediately followed by General Motors who cut the day rate, something they had never done before in their history, Just go and try and ask those 'people, who have had salary cuts, to RVC us our bread and butter and see what answer you get, "In our opinion an able-bodiel man should be given work, and paid It is all right for an older man, or a man with some handicap to get direct relief," said Eddie McDonald. eeting Tonight Mayor Hawkes: "I do wish all this had been put in writing so that we could lay it all before council, "As regards providing for shelter, this will be talked about at a meet. ing called by council to-night to which many prominent citizens have been invited. We hope some scheme will be developed from that meet- ing. We expect, antl hope, that something will come of it. [ had two men to sce me this morning, while the case of two others was brought to my attention and this matter of evictions is becoming quite a problem, Need Shelter A family needs shelter just as much as it needs food and fuel" said the Mayor, "and .I do not think there is any member of the City Council who does not realize that we have got to do something" (Aldermen Kirby and Harman sig- nifying assent). The Mayor explained to the de- putation that City Council had al- ready passed a resolution authoriz- ing the establishment of the food store which is opposed by the un- employed, and also that arrange- ments had been made for keep- ing the single men's hostel open in- c Atel. o Consider Requests "Your viewpoint, and your re- quests, will be laid before the coun- Lcil at its next meeting, however" said the Mayor, "that is all I have the power to promise, and 1 can assure you of that. Your views will be laid before council for con- sideration." Y Before the deputation withdrew Ald, Harman, speaking to Eddie McDonald, asked "You are not re- presenting the Canadian Labor Des ense League are you? Mr. McDonald: "No, Absolute- beer bunt the benefit ly no. Mr, Seaver: "Apparently the local press has made the mistake that the Canada Defence League has something to do with the N.UW.A, That is wrong. We are citizens of Oshawa. Not reds or anything to do with reds" Mr. McDonald: "No sir, we are not reds, We are good citizens with the interests of Oshawa at heart, Return to Park When the deputation returned to the park the meeting was still in session, having been addressed by Sam Elliott and F.

Parade Formed Following this brief report the parade formed up, some 200 strong marching up Simcoe Street to Aberdeen Street, down Mary Street to Kingedale Avenue, down Jarvis Street to Division and along Di- vision to King, and along King to Simcoe Street and to the park where it dispersed, Carried in the parade, in which there was a small number of women were large banners bearing the following slogans ;-- "We want Bread and Butter on the table, not Promises. "We won't stand for Food Store," "No Deportation of Any Citizen." "Join the National Unemployed Workers Association," While the police were out in some strength in order to be in a position to curb any unruly con- Juct, both the meeting and parade was most orderly and passed off without any untoward incident of any kind, CITIZENS PLAN FOR OWN MAIL SERVICE any City Arrowwood, Alta, -- Rail cur- tailments may be bringing this town a daily mall service, if the citizens have to | ehow their self-reliance to get it.

CARDINAL IS SENT UP FOR TRIAL (Continued from page 1) court the which Campbell had taken to Cardinal Detective Sergeant Flintoff stated to the court that on February 29 he went to the Cardinal home and asked if he had received a dog of that type, to which he received a negative answer, but admitted that he had taken a collie dog to Tor- onto about the same %ime, but not a beagle. The officer stated that he returned to see Cardinal on March 8 after the dog was re covered, and after telling him that the dog had been recovered, asked him again if he had sent the the dag to Toronto to which Cardinal answered that his memory was bad, but he remembered getting the dog from Campbhell, After stating that he had no evi- dence to adduce J. P. Mangan, counsel for Cardinal submitted that before the accused could be found guilty, it would have to he proved that he knew that the dog was not the property of the boys by whom it was brought to him, and further stated that the only incriminating evidente was that given by Dctec- tive Sergeant Flintoff, The magistrate, however, found that there was sufficient evidence to send Cardinal up for trial. SOMME MEMORIAL UNVEILING BY PRINGE OF WALES Ceremony Will Be Held in Thiepval, France, on May 16 as one London, = Many groups of ex- servicemen, especially those repre- sentative of the North of England battalions, will be present at Thie- pval on Whit-Monday, May 16, when the Prince of Wales unveils the British War Memorial to com- memorate the missing in the Battle of the Somme.

"Did you have anything to do | with the contract which was en- tered into to purchase power from the Beauharnois," asked Lordship. "That matter wag handled by the hydro electric power com- | mission entirely," replied the ex- premier, "Our government, of | course, had to confer with the Quebec government on the ques- tica of exporting power." Mr, I"erguson added that because of Quebec's well known policy not to export power, this matter was the subject of confe at Montreal, where the difficulty was adjusted, "One must take notice of press reports," continued His Lordship, "and therefore I would like to afk you about a statement that Senator Haydon was reported to have made that you were holding up the Beauharnols power con- tract with the Hydro pending the peyment of $125,000 to certain pergons. "I can only repeat what I sald before the senate committee," re- plied Mr. Ferguson.

Who, then, will be so foolish as to leave the eradicating of vice, and the planting in ol virtue in its place, to a few weeks or years? Yet he who procrastinates his repentance and amendment, grossly does so, with his eyes open, he abridges the time allotted for the longest, and most important work he has to perform; he is a fool.--Dr, Isaac Barrow.
