THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, MAY 14, 1932 PAGE THREE Bowmanville Daily Times G. K. BROWN, Representative Office Telephone No. 744 NUSICAL FESTIVAL "PRIZES AARDED 'Association Was Congrat- ulated on Success of First Festival ---- Durham County's first musical festival was brought to a fitting climax last evening in Trinity United church, when 'the gold medalists, silver medalists (where two or more were first winners), and shield winners in the various classes of the festival, presented a concert of twenty-six numbers.

In thank- ing the Association, Mrs. White took occasion to congratulaje the Association for the success of the festival. The last half of the con- cert was devoted to the older classes, and was a musical treat such as not been heard before in Bowmanville.

ROTARY CLUBS OF DISTRICT MEET AT BOWMANVILLE (Continued from page 1) ed vocal, mouth organ, violin and mandolin numbers and an illum- inated club swinging number. The speaker of the evening, H. Napier Moore was introduced by his fellow journalist, Mr. A, R. Alloway, Managing Director of The Oshawa Daily Times, who in a brief and humorous vein, out- lined the spectacular career of one of Canada's foremost journ- alists, H. Napier Moore Mr. Moore, who proved to be a speaker of no mean ability, was forceful in his remarks, which he tempered with a ready and delightful wit. This depression, he said, had, despite its hard- ships, brought one good result. It made people think as they had never thought before. It has made them realize that under prevailing conditions a re-adjust- ment had to be made, and in this re-adjustment must be included that of government, not federal or provincial in particular but including municipal and civic. The Government- of Canada, stated Mr. Moore, was the na- tion's largest business, In its employ, directly and indirectly, were 188,000 citizens. More work was being conducted by the governments than in all the 12,- 000 factories of which Canada boasts, and people wondered why the taxes were high. One was bound to ask, he add- ed, who was to blame, and one could receive no truer answer than to say, we are. One of the most common sayings of the day was "There ought to be a law," and when these governments put these laws into effect, the peo- ple wondered why it is that the taxes are heavier. The average tax is indirectly made by the citi- ens' own requests. Canadians of today haye asked for more care and attention and they have had to pay-for it. Increase in Taxes Mr. Moore quoted statistics showing the enormous increase in taxes mow, as compared with the years previous to the war. He went on to outline reasons why these taxes had jumped, and he assured his hearers that the war was not the prime reason, National Barnacles were the prime reason.

They built glant elevators, not knowing whether one bushel of grain would ever be stored in them. This was what was costing the nation money, not the general administration, g ; The speaker criticised the un- equa] representation in the var- fous provinces, pointing out that Prince Edward Island, with a small population sent more dele- gates to the House of Commons than did Ontario when popula- tion wag compared. Dangers in Education The speaker saw another dan- ger in the educational system, He did believe in higher education, but he did not believe that it was necessary to erect huge pal- aces with tiled swimming pools, and ornate Gothic doorways to do the educating. The cost of this sort of thing was appalling and was in a measure largely re- sponsible for the increase in tax- ation. He stressed the need of training the youth of the coun- try in trades and professions which could absorb them, and saw in the obtaining of a B.A, de- zree without considering what line of business one was to en- ter, a questionable procedure. It was barnacles such as these, the speaker said, that caused higher taxation. If a ship wani- ed to make greater speed it clean- ed the barnacles from its hul} and until the barnacles were cleaned from the hull of Cana- dian "Government no decrease in taxation could be expected. Rotarian W. Ross Strike, of Bowmanville expressed the ap- preciation of the gathering to the speaker for his thought-provok- ing address, the sentiments of the meeting being passed on to the speaker by President James. Mr. M. A. .Sorsoliel, Deputy Minister of Public Welfare, in a few brief remarks expressed the regret of the Minister at his in- ability to be present and referred feelingly to the splendid contri- bution Rotary had made to the Boys' Training School. SUPERTEST GAS GREAT SUCCESS Has Been Well Received: by Motorists When the new Supertest "Wonder" gasoline was first put on the market last October, fit was thought by some that the time of the year was very unfa- P vorable to the introduction of a new fuel to motorists, Supertest officials, however, had supreme confidence in the anti-knock, quick-starting, high mileage qualities of the new gasoline and were certain that its performance would create an im- mediate favorable {impression with car-owners. So backing their faith in the product with strong, wide-spread newspaper advertising, they in- troduced "Wonder" gasoline sim- ultaneously throughout Ontario and Quebec, The results more than justified their faith. In addition to in- creasing the satisfaction of their regular patrons, thousands of new customers are now using Supertest "Wonder" Gasoline and other products. "REVIVAL WEEK" ATNEW MARTIN o Change of Program Daily, With Old Favorite Films : Listed Owing to the popularity of the revival week held recently, and the number of requests from many local and out-of-town patrons, the New Martin © Theatre next week wil bring back to Oshawa a number of talking picture hits of last year in its second revival week. Such pic- tures as "Hold Everything", with Joe E. Brown and Winnie Lightner, "Merely Mary Ann", with Charles Farrell and Janet Gaynor; "Son of the Gods," with Richard Barthle- mess and Constance Bennett; "Dir- izible" with Jack Holt, Ralph Graves and Fay Wray; "Rain or 'wiine" with Joe Cook, and the in- imitable comedian, Will Rogers, in "A Connecticut Yankee", will ap- pedr on the program for the week. [hese will be shown for one day cach at the New Martin Theatre. With a different program each day, supplemented with the pick of « medies, single reels and fea- turettes, and three shows daily, at 2.30, 7.00 and 9.00 a.n., next week will be bargain week at the New Martin, with the regular price of 25 cents prevailing. FOR SHADED SPorTs It is often considered quite a difficult problem to brighten up shady corners, particularly in those smaller gardens where all corners come in this category. But this should not gapse any trouble. because there are actual- ly some plants which prefer shade or semi-shaded conditions. The tuberous rooted Begonias, for instance, will not do well un- less they are grown in shady cor- ners, such as under-tree foliage. Among those flowers which are recommended for partial shade are Verbena, Phlox, Nicotine, Pansy, Marvel of Peru, Nemophi- la, Lupine, Larkspur, Godetia. Clarkia, Alyssum and Candytuft. Practically all annuals .will hold their bloom longer and also their depth of color if they have a lit- tle light shade, particulary around noon hour when the sun's rays are 'strongest. .

Fire Chief Elliott later made an investigation of the cause of the fire. FIRE IN MARSH The fire department were called out at 5.44 p.m. yesterday afternoon to fight a fire which was burning in the marsh at the lake. The fire had secured such a hold on the dry reeds that it took almost an hour to extinguish it, Fire Chief Elliott stated that his department earlier in the day had set fire to the dry grass and reeds in order to clear up the area. Apparently the fire had jumped the creek as the department were called out as the first spread eastward toward the Yacht Club. Winnipeg, Man., May 14. Thirty years ago two Young men were beginning legal careers in the thriving Manitoba town of Portage la Prairie. Today one of them is leader of the Govern- ment party in the Senate of Can- ada, a former prime minister, and a member of the Imperial Privy Council. The other is be- ginning an election campaign which he hopes will make him prime minister of Manitoba, The first man is Rt. Hon. Ar- thur Meighen., The other is Iieut.-Col, Fawcett Gowler Tay- lor, D.S.0., K.C., leader of the Conservative Party in the Mani- toba Legislature. Citizens of Manitoba will decide in June whether the second of Portaze Prairie"s foremost political is to attain office. Col. Taylor is a stout 'man physically and a hard fighter.

The two worked to- gether to keen the constituency of Portage la Prairje in the Con- servative column. Mr. Meighen Bracken. Conservative Chief in Manitoba Girding for Battle of the Ballots but Mr. Taylor entered municipal politics. He was elected mayor of the city in 1910 and held tire office until 1915 when he resigned to enlist for overseas service. He served in France with the 1st Canadian Mounted tifles from August, 1916, to October, 1918, holding the rank of major. Men- tioned in despatches several times, he was awarded the Dis- tinguished Service Order. Col, Taylor's first venture into provincial politics was in 1915. MRS. LINDBERGH IN COLLAPSE AFTER BODY CREMATED (Continued from page 1) that her condition was serious-- merely a precaution, Clues Obtained Hopewell, N.J., May 14--Chues to the identity of the kidnappers and slayers of Charles Augusius Lind bergh, Jr., were obtained by police yesterday from the two men who led negotiations for the baby's recovery during the time he was believed to be alive. After a day of questioning it de- veloped that both Dr. John F. Con- don of New York and John Hughes Curtis of Norfolk, Va., had been in touch with either the murderers or their personal agents, and last night the state police of New Jer- sey were prosecuting their man hunt. with every hope of appre- hending the criminals. What in the way of mames and descriptions, Condon and Curtis were able to supply, remained a secret, but this information was enough to revitalize the hunt for those who stole the 21-months old infant from his crib on Sourland Mountain last March 1, and left his battered body beneath a clump of bushes within faur and a half miles of the Lindbergh home, Dr. Condon is known to have been face to face with an agent of the kidnappers when he paid over $50,000 in ransom money in a Bronx cemetery, and Curtis had such lengthy negotiations with the abductors or their agents, that his information also is considered to be of utmost importance. Curtis Investigation Defeated when he ran as a Con sorvative for Portage la Prairie, he returned to the fight on hi return from the war and was clected at the general election of 1920, He was re-elected at the general elections of 1922 and 1927. In 1922 he became leader of the Conservative Party of Manitoba. During the past year Col. Tay- lor has travelled extensively in Manitoba, addressing meetings and laying the foundation for his final assault on the Bracken government. Born at Meadow Lea, Man. Col. Taylor was the youngest gon of a large ploneer' family. His parents came to the province from Peel Countv, Ontario. He is now 54 vears old The Con- servatve leader was educated in Winnipeg schools and was called to the bar in 1900. He has al- ways practised in Portaze la Prairie and for a time was crown prosecutor there In 1910 he married Miss Mabel Agnes Dyke- man_ Since the war he has taken an active interest in veterans' organizations.

Hunger and negligence have made fallow, for this year at least, the most fertile wheat fields of the Soviet Union. « It is not wholly improbable that Rus- sia will be an importer, not an exporter, of wheat when the world's crops are harvested in 1932. Josef Stanlin's decree Satur- day reducing the grain quotas assessed against collectives and individual farms and encouraging the disposition of the surplus in the open market probably will reduce supplies available for ur- han consumption and export by 150,000,000 bushels. Inasmuch as even in the record crop year of 1930, Soviet exports were on- ly 111,000,000 bushels, this would eliminate Russia as a snhip- per to foreign markets even in a good crop year, Russian Wheat Crop to be Low; Hungry Peasants Ate the Seed Reports that filtered out of viligantly censored Russia tell that only 34 per cent. of the ne- cessary seed grain was ready in time for the Spring Sowings of the entire wheat-producing dfs- tricts, This is due to the, col- lective farming scheme, which took both initiative and acres from peasant proprietors and united all agricultural labor in leaderless hands. The peasant farmer who had been accustomed to storing his seed-grain against the time of sowing had no longer a personal interest in his forfeited bit of land. The provision for seed was left to the authorities--who have proved incompetent. In other districts, where seed has been stored, hungry peasants have helped themselves. The grain has been eaten---and of it there was not enough. Tondon.--The question wheth- or the word persons includes wo- men, which was so long pondered over by the jurists of Canada and of the Privy Council before the latter decided that women were eligible for the Canadian Senate, cropped up again in the assembly of the Presbyterian Church of England. A motion including women in the designation of persons was carried after keen debate, The assembly was asked to prepare a roll-call of names of those per- sons who are authorized to preach and undertake pastoral services. British Presbyterians Dispute Whether Women are Persons To the surprise of the assembly an amendment was moved that the word men should be substi- tuted for the word persons, Rev, David Anderson, who was in charge of the resolution, said it was clear in the minds of the committee that both men and women might become eligible for appointment, If educated and well-equipped women sheuld offer themselves to Presbyteries and congregations, they should not re- fuse them. The amendment was lost by a large majority and the motfon including women was car- ried. MARRIAGE IS OFF BILLS TO BE PAID Montreal.--With her expected marriage failing to materialize, Miss Creola Payette is now oblig. ed to pay a dressmaker's - bill which she contracted in contem- plation of the marriage, accord- ing to a judgment of Mr, Justice Duclos in the Superior Court. The young woman figured in oth- er court proceedings a short time ago when ghe sued her fiance for damages on grounds of breach of promise. but failed to prove her contentions to the satisfaction of the presiding judge and jury. In the present action, Miss Payette was sued for $105 as the balance of an account for dresses owed to a dressmaker, In defence she admiited buying the dresses but said it had been arranged that she would not be called upon to pay until after her marriage. By a subsequent arrangement, it had been agreed, in view of the fact that the marriage had never been golemnized, that she would not he asked to pay the bill until the spring of 1932, she said. In her opinion, therefore, the action was premature. CLUMP PLA G If the garden is a small one be satisfied with few varieties, It is much wiser to grow five plants each of ten varieties than one each of fifty, Plan for broad masses of color to create an im- pression of spaciousness, In qth- er words, avoid making a botani- cal museum of the ordinary small garden. For the bulk of the plant- ing one is well advised to stick to such old favorites as Coreopsis, Gaillardia, Delphinium, Hardy Perennial Aster, Hardy Phlox, Iris, Peonies and Dianthus in the perennial part, and Asters, Phlox Drummondi, Zinnias, Verbenas, Petunias, Cosmos, Nasturtiums and Marigolds for immediate re- turns.

Charles A. Lindbergh was accompanying his son's body to a crematory, police were taking Curtis over a part of the trial that followed in his negotiations with men he believed were in pos: session of the child, Their first trip was understood to be to South- ern New Jersey, near where Curtis and Col, Lindbergh were reached last night to be informed that the baby had been found dead. President Hoover's order direct- ing all federal detective agencies to assist in finding the abductors met an immediate response now that the finding of the body had released the official restraint imposed on police of the country while there was still a chance of recovering the baby alive. In addition to the executive or- der from Mr. Hoover, police were he fied world. A rapid Inquisition into the ac- tivities of all persons who have had contact, or attempted to have con- tact, with the kidnappers was in- dicated when Morris Rosner, once an investigator for the: Department of Justice, was questioned at the Hopewell headquarters of the state police, Rosner, a self-nominated "negoti- ator," at one stage of the investi- gation had announced that he ex- pected to be able to effect a return of the baby, and was engaged for several weeks on a number of my- sterious missions. Colonel Sees Body Trenton, N.J., May 14--There was evidence of deep feeling, but no outward emotional sign nor break in his calm, when Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh saw his murdered baby in the morgue here yesterday. The Colonel arrived with Colonel Henry Breckenridge, his personal attorney. They drove through a crowd that jammed traffic for blocks and into an alley. They were met by Colonel H. Norman Schwarzkopf, head of the New Jersey State Police; Prosecu- tor Anthony M. Hauck of Hunter- don County; James Kirkham, Mer- cer Cointy Chief of Detectives; Chief of Police Walters of Tren- ton; and Frank W. and Walter H. Swayze, the latter the Coroner. When the casket was opened, Colonel Lindbergh stepped forward and examined the teeth closely for several minutes. A cover hid the lower part of the hody from his view. He motioned to an under- taker's assistant. . "Take it off," he said, "I want to see it all." For a minute more he examined the toes, and indicated with a nod that his examinatioin was complete, Prosecutor Marshall motioned him to another room. With them went Prosecutor Hauck of Hunterdon County and the €oroner. The door was locked. "Colonel Lindbergh," queried Marshall, "are you fully satisfied that is the body of your child?" "I am perfectly satisfied," he re- sponded, He asked then to be excused from any further questions at the mo- ment, He said he had been under great strain, and he wanted to leave immediately--he hoped they would understand, and he promised to answer any questions they might put to him later. Linden, N.J.,, May 14--The body of Charles A. Lindbergh Jr. arrived here late yesterday for cremation. The hearse was followed by an automobile carrying. Charles A. Lindbergh. Both cars drove into the grounds of the Rosehill Crematory and Cemetery, and fifty or more out- siders were requested to leave. As sooyp as all had been cleared from the grounds the Colonel and his companion went inside the resi- dence adjoining the crematory. The body was taken from the hearse and carried inside immediately. Colonel H. Norman Schwartzkopf, who drove the closed Lindbergh car here, said no arrangements had been made for ultimate disposition of the ashes. Colonel Lindbergh, Colonel Sch- wartzkopf and Colonel = Henry Breckenridge, the Lindbergh attor- ney, witnessed the cremation of the body. The three silently watched it lowered into the retorts by three engineers and assistants, and with- out visible emotion peered for a moment 'through the transparent opening provided for official wit- nesses.

Nygren Gave Vivid Picture of Jesus Last Night "It's a lie they have told, that Jesus never smiled," evangelist David F. Nygren declared last night speaking on "The Most Beautiful Picture in the World" in the First Baptist Church revival campaign. I'he evangelist gave a word-picture of Jesus to an attentive audience which filled the entire church. It was Boosters' night, and the boys and girls gave a twenty minute pro- rram which was greatly: enjoyed, Tomorrow is the closing day or tic mission and Mr. Nygren will speak to the morning and cvening services and also to a meeting for men at 2.30 in the afternoon. "Jesus was the happiest man who ever lived," said Mr, Nygren, "and vet when I say this I know there are people who insist that he was a man of sorrows and that he never smiled. I'm not unmindful of the sorrows of Jesus. I look back 1900 years and see that lone Galilean walking o'er the roads and streets of Palestine. He was a friend to the blind, the dumb, the outcasts, the sinners. I see him stand in blackness of darkness, reviled, per- secuted, deserted, whipped, nailed to the cross and at length in the blaze of a hot Syrian sun, dying . . . No, I know he suffered, but that was for us; aside from the sins of this world Jesus was 'anointed with oil of gladness more than all his bre- then'. He had a keen sense of humor; he attended social func- tions; he enjoyed fellowship; he spoke about flowers and birds; he played with little children; he was the happiest man this world ever knew. "Oh, 1 know, you have seen paintings depicting Christ as a long- raced, sad-faced, ghost-like person, going along with a slow pace, fear- ing lest the heaven should fall from above and the earth give way un- derncath, sighing, crying, sad, sad, sad. That's not my Christ nor is it the Christ of the New Testament. He is the Lilly ot the Valley, the Rose of Sharon, the bright and Morning Star, the fairest among ten thousand. [I've fallen in love with Jesus, and 1 beg of you to consider him. To know him is to love him, to love him is to serve him, to serve him is to become like unto him, and then to be with him forever." PROPERTY OWNERS MET The regular weekly meeting of the Oshawa Property Owners' As- sociation was held last night in the Genosha Hotel with an un- usually large number of the mem- hers in attendance, The members were rather disappointed in not having as their speaker W., H. Moore, M.P., for South Ontario, who was to have addressed, the meeting. Mr. Moore informed the executive that he was unable to attend due to the need for his at- tendance at the session of the House of Commong in Ottawa. The secretary reports that the membership of the association is still increasing in an encouraging manner. The business transacted at the meeting last night was purely of & routine nature. AIRD ON STAND AT HYDRO PROBE Chief Figure in Hydro Ine quiry Starts to Give His Evidence (By Canadian Press) Toronto, May 14. -- The tangl- ed skein of evidence regarding the payment of $50,000 to John Aird Jr., for his part in negotia- tion for the purchase of the Mad- awaska Power was slowly un- winding yesterday as Mr, Aird himself was called to the stand. He had already started his story of the negotiations when the royal commission enquiry ad- journed for lunch. Efforts of Paul Reize, of Chicago, repre- senting 'certain interests" to obtain the 'power site were out- lined by Fred Roberts, Toronto lawyer, who represented Reize in some negotiations, but whose ef- forts failed after the Ontario Government had definitely out- lined its policy of developing its own natural resources. Another witness, Winthrop Green, whose wife and Afrd"s wife are sisters, testified to hav- ing cashed a cheque for $1,650 for Aird and declared he had re- turned the money to John Aird in $50 bills.
