Simcoe Street United Church. which was graciously loaned for the occasion was comfortably filled for both afternoon and evening sessions and the large audience listened attentively to a series of home and foreign ms- sionary addresses of the most in- spiring character, A sight long to be remembered culminated the evening service when some 50 or 60 young men and women went forward indicating their commit- tal to a life of service or sacrifice as their Lord and Saviour might lead them, Many of these young people had already entered upon a course of training for definite Christian service. Outstanding Address The outstanding address of the day was delivered by Mrs. Char- Yes. E. Cowan, who was eo-found- er with her late husband of the Oriental Missionary Society. This work established over 30 years ago has been carried on almost entirely through native evangel- ists and teachers. A training school was first established in Tokio over 30 years ago and there a nucleus of native Christian workers were gathered and trained. Later Mr, and Mrs. Cowman undertook the work of placing a copy of one of the gos- pels together with a suitable tract in every home {in the Japanese Empire, A band of 100 native evangelists worked under their supervision for five years to complete this great task. Mrs. Cowman told how her husband was entrusted with a set of mili- tary maps, which were essential to the proper planning and carry- ing out of this work, Mr, Cow- man's health broke down under the strain of this work and he was forced to return home to Los Angeles where he died some years later. Discussion on West "The Canadian West" was the general theme of the afternoon session when addresses were given by Messrs. George Worling, Tom Devers and Paul B. W, Gelatt, all ploneer missionaries of Northern Saskatchewan, where thousands of new settlers have come in recently. The material needs and hardships of these people, and more particularly thelr spiritual needs, were vivid- ly described by tliese speakers. Rev. W, J.Anderson, Home Sup- erintendent of the New Testa- ment Missionary Union, also told of a revival movement in the West during the past summer in which he participated, . Work in Muskoka Work in Muskoka was describ- ed at the evening session by Mr. Kenneth Miles a young man at- tending Toronto Bible College, who spent the summer as a mis- sionary preaching at several school-houses in sections where no.other servfce was held.

Under these arrangements the producer consigns his apples, pro- perly packed in barrels after in- spection and grading by Ontario Government officials, to Andrew Fulton, the Department's repre- sentative in London, who carries out the marketing end of the pro- ject in Great Britain. As soon as the consignment is loaded here, and he can produce a bill of lading properly complet- ed the grower can get an advance of $1.50 per barrel through the Bank of Montreal, and R, S. Mor- phy, Manager of the local branch of this bank, states 'this ar- rangement worked out very well last year, the producers obtaining a pretty fair price for their ap- ples." While only 500 barrels were shipped last year under this ar- rangement it is expected that a far greater amount of apples will go forward from local growers during the next month ewing to the impetus given to inter-empire trade by the Imperial Economic Conference and the Empire Mar- keting Board of Great Britain.

This omission was in connection with the article by Frederick A. Dallyn, consulting engineer in charge of construction of the plant, giving a description of it. Mr. Dallyn's article, and one by E. Dean Wilkes, of Toronto, re- garding the control equipment of the plant, should have been credit- ed to the "Contract Record and En- gineering Review," for which they were originally written, and in which they appeared. The Times greatly regrets that the "Contract Report and Engineering Review" was not given the credit which was its due for having been the original source of these two articles, which were much appreciated by the readers of this newspaper, and trusts that this explanation will make amends for the regrettable omission of the usual credit given when a newspaper uses material which has originated from some other source. JAPAN STARTS MANCHURIAN DRIVE AS CHINESE REBELS SEIZE RAILWAY Mukden, Manchuria Oct. 11.-- The Japanese army launched an intensive drive yesterday to sweep southern Manchuria clean of Chinese insurgents, and at the same time prepared to stamp out rebellion stirring in the north- west. The campaign in the southern part of the province is directed against 30,000 {insurgents who have challenged the authorities of the Government of Manchukuo, which was set up with the as- sistance of the Japanese. The Japanese plan was to drive these insurgents into the forests * and mountains and to keep them there during the Winter, there- by starving them out. fo the north-west the Whole area along the Chinese Eastern Railway from Harbin to Man- chuli, on the Soviet border, is in ferment.

J. C. Cochrane, North Bay, Speaker at Brother- hood on Sunday "We can have no fault to find with God for the great country he has given us. He could not have given us a greater inheritance. But we need to look into ourselves, and say 'We have had a great inherit- ance, but we have wasted it in riot- ous living'" In these words Rev. J. C. Cochrane, superintendent of the United Church for Northern Ontario, struck the keynote of a thoughtiul and inspiring address at the Sunday afternoon meeting of the Oshawa Christian Social Bro- therhood in the New Martin Thea- tre. People, he said, had to learn to look into themselves and criticize themselves, That was one thing which had to be done when they were face to face with difficulties, as in the present day, and he said it was very significant that people were doing more serious thinking as to the meaning of the question of social righteousness than they had done for the last twenty years. Mr. Cochrane's address was receiv- ed with the greatest attention by a large gathering of men who at- tended the Brotherhood meeting, which was presided over by T. S. Aikman, the president, assisted by the class leader, M, M, Hood. A solo by H. Dyas was splendidly sung and well received by the gathering. Mr, Cochrane's Address Speaking first of all on his task in Northern Ontario, Mr, Cochrane said onc of the problems of today was to bring to bear upon th Christian church its responsibility towards the pioncer people who were pushing back the frontiers in the north. Fhe people in the north were poor people, he said, but they had expanded the 'boundaries of the country, Now, on account of the failure of amrkets for pulp- wood and lumber, they were suffer- ing great hardships, Taking Problem Seriously "The church is now taking seri- ously the question of finding a Christian solution for the problems which eonfront society," said Mr. Cochrane. "We are listening for the voice of leadership, no matter where it comes from. The experts arc silent.

No. 101 of the Seaboard Great Lakes Corporation, was due in Oshawa to-day calling for the first shipment of turnips, grown in Ontario County, consign- ed to a large produce house in New York. The first shipment only consisted of about a hundred tons, instead of two hundred tons as previously ar- ranged for, owing to inadequate storage facilities at the dock. This morning the Government Wharfing- er and a representative of the pur- chasing firm, Mr. Lownsbrough, of New York, were endeavoring to obtain further warehouse accom- modation at the dock in order that the total shipment will not be de- layed. All the turnips are carefully graded and inspected by Govern- ment officials before being bagged ready for loading, and are reported to be of most excellent quality.

This was announced last night by officials of the department. The work would be concentrated chiefly on those three stretches of the couuntry where no landing fields exist--Montreal to Halifax, Ottawa and Toronto to Winni- peg, and Lethbridge to Vancou- ver. For the most part the places where the fields are to be lo- cated have already been sur- veyed, and the plans for their establishment drafted. In the main, work of clearing is of a type in which labor is the big item. The workers will be establish- ed in camps near to the site of the proposed fields, and the camps will be administered by the department. When the work Is completed Canada will dave a chain of landing fields ex- tending from the Atlantic to the Pacitic, YOUNG PEOPLE'S TRAINING SCHOOL STARTED SUNDAY Over Eighty Are Enrolled For Courses to Last All This Week On Sunday evening the first meeting of the Training School sponsored by the Oshawa Young People's Union was held in the form of a fireside service, at Sim- coe Street United Church: This meeting was very well attended, and certainly gave encouragement to the executive which has worked long and hard in an endeavour to make the school an outstanding Success. A sing song, in charge of ILeon- ard M. Richer, opened the meet- ing, followed by a period of devo- tion, led by Miss Velma Harris. A thanksgiving story, a poem, and a violin solo were among the items that added to the pleasure of this period. Another short gong service followed, and then erke and coffee was enjoyed by all, the Young People leaving, inquiring of one another "what course are you tak- ing?" During the evening, Miss Hazel DeGuerre, president of the Oshawa Young People's Union, outlined the courses, and told who would be in charge of each group, and urged every person present to attend and take the study class that dealt with the work of the group under which thev worked in their own Union, On Monday evening at 6.30 the (Continued on page 3), .

The next step will be for the City Council to formally hand over this plot of land to the Oshawa Parks Commission for recreational purposes. Ald. E. Clark, chairman of the committee of council which has been carrving out the negotiations with the Street Railway Company, expressed the hope this morning that the Parks Commission will commence the work of improving the grounds immediately. "The people who live in the dist- riet which will be served by the new park are most enthusiastic over the scheme" said Ald. Clark. "and 1 believe the unemployed of that district are willing and ready to get to work on making it suit- able for recreational purposes." It is understood that the Oshawa Soccer Club has already had repre- sentatives look over the new park site with a view to determining whether it would be possible to establish a football field on the grounds, while other athletic or- ganizations are also interested in the .project..

APPEAL IS MADE TO SPORTSMEN Oshawa Team Needs As- sistance in Final Series for Championship Into the finals for the Ontario Intermediate Softball Champion- ship, and without finances to pay the expenses of the long jump to Sudbury for their game in the fi- nal series, the Oshawa Dodzers are in a quandary as to how they can go through with the. two games which have to be played in order to decide where the title title rest. The Oshawa team has had a splendid record during the season, and is given more than an even chance of winning the ti- tle, if--and it is a big "if'"--it can finance the trip to Sudbury. Today the Dodgers decided to make an appeal to the sportsmen of the city to help them out of their difficulty in financing the journey, and the management of The Dodger team, will be glad to hear from any followers of snort who are willing to go down into their pockets to help Oshawa's aspirants for a provincial cham- pionship over their financial hur- dle, which is more serious than that which faces them on the softball diamond. KILLED IN COLLISION Owen Sound, Oct. 11. -- One man was killed and four women injured when an automobile and truck collided on the Owen Sound-Meaford highway near here yesterday, Sproule Long, 35, of St. Vincent Township, g pas- senger in the truck, was the viec- COMMITTEE MEETING TOMORROW EVENING ON PROBLEM Arrangements for Payments for Shelter, Water and . Light to be Discussed at Meeting POWERS DEFINED BY GOVERNMENT F. L. Mason, Utilities Chairman, Asked to At- tend to Give Views on Payments for Water and Light A definite policy on the vexed problems of shelter, water and light for Oshawa families who are on relief is expected to be evolved within the next two or three days. At the last meeting of the public welfare board, on Thursday of last week, a gub- committee was appointed to take charge of these problems. Owing to the absence from the city of one of the members appointed to the committee, it has not been possible, as yet, for the commit- tee to meet. A meeting has been arranged, however, for tomorrow evening at ejzht o'clock in the city treasurer's office, at which an effort will be made to lay down a definite policy to be followed in connection with the payment of bills for rent, water and light, Powers Defined In laying down its policy, the committee will be guided entirely by the order-in-council of the On- tario government, which defines the extent to which any munici- pality can go {in making pay- ments for shelter, water and light. Shelter can only be provid- ed for those who are actually renting houses, and there is a re- striction on the total amount which can be paid out each month for these three objects combined. The order-in-council' also, pro- "vides that payments on these ac- counts can be dated only from October 1 of thig year, so that no congideration can be given to claims for arrears of rent, water and light bills. Water and Light With the lines to be followed go clearly defined in the order-in- council, there should be little difficulty in fixing a policy of operation in connection with rent. Regarding water and light, however, the co-operation of the Public Utilities Commission is he- lieved by the chairman of the committee to be essential, and Frank L, Mason, chairman of the commission, has been asked to at- tend the meeting so as to discuss these matters with the members of the committee in order to faci- litate arrangements for taking care of these obligations. Situation Aggravated Meanwhile, the rent situation in the city has become quite ag- gravated, and city relief head- quarters are being besieged by citizens who are threatened with eviction from their homes, It is the hope of the committee, how= ever, that definite plans can be made at to-morrow night's meet- ing to put into effect at once a system, whereby rent payments can be made in accordance with the government's order-in-coune cil. The members of the commit- tee are J. C. Anderson, A, V. Swail, L. S, Hyman, David Haver- son and M. McIntyre Hood, the latter having been named as chairman of the committee.

A formal request for his deten- tion was not made by the United States legation until after Insull had been. taken to headquarters. His detenifon had, up to that time, been a provisional matter but after the request from the State Department, through the legation, was received, and was officially under arrest.
