THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, JULY 18, 1940 BRITAIN IST0LD HUNONSLAUGHT CERTAIN TO FAIL Minister Cautions 'People Coming Attacks 23 Bigger Scale » - don, July 18.--Amid the ull in n air raids on this country and British raids on Germany, Sir [Archibald Sinclair broadcast g warn- pg today that Britain must expect dF attacks on a scale many times eater than any yet launched by the enemy, who, he admitted, still 'has the numerical preponderance in air power. Conceding that the air strength of Britain's opponents means a serious threat, he expressed confi- dence that any great German on- slaught upon Britain would fail. He said that such an attack might be made within the next month by air, land and sea simultaneously. However, he added, the sooner British forces pass from the defen- sive to the offensive by land and sea as well as in the air "the soon- er the war will be won." In contrast: to recent Nazi at- tempts to destroy British shipping and ravage districts inland by mass air attacks, there. were only a few isolated raids today, one point in the southeast of Scotland, some points in the southeast and south- west of England being affected. In the southeast of England a lone raider dropped six bombs of the screaming type, which are in- tended to create terror before they hit the ground and explode. These bombs killed a woman, buried a baby in the debris of a house that was damaged, injured another woman and child, and damaged two other houses. Slight damage ana some casual- ties were reported elsewhere. De- fending planes went up to oppose some 'of the raiders in one district, but the Nazis made off before the | British fighters could engage them. ' At the same time the RAF. let "the Germans have a respite. The = Air Ministry communique explained h.that "owing to adverse weather con. Zditions our bomber forces did not "operate last night." In addition to =hammering - German naval bases, "air flelds and war industries, the RAF. has been concentrating on ~ the Dortmund-Ems Canal, on which i = Germans seem to have been di- | | «yerting much of their war supply "traffic owing to the British bomb- "ing of their railroad communica- tions, While the cnier of the Air Min- istry was telling the Empire today what dark days lie ahead in Brit- ain, the Minister of Home Security gave force to his warning by issu- ing a notice "strongly" advising every one in this island fortress to carry constantly his or her name, address, and next of kin or others they wish notified in the event that they "become an air-raid casualty." 'At the same time the public was told once again to keep away from windows at all times during raids because an investigation of casual- ties reported from the southeast of England showed that 60 per cent. were due to glass being shattered by bomb explosions, In his radlo aadress today, Sir Archibald Sinclair assured his lis- teners that the Royal Air Force had not only maintained but had in- creased its ascendancy over the Ger- man air fleet. Since the beginning of this month, he said, official rec- ords showed that 105 German planes were brought down, while Britain lost only twenty-four in defense against the raiders. He added that the Dutch canals and the harbors of Belguim, or he may launch an attack northward from the coast of Frarce. All (hese plan, of assembly have continuously to be watched." Sir Archibald paid high tribute to the work of Canadian, Australian and New Zealand pilots in air fight. ing, bombing, reconnaissance and submarine hunting. NOT INCREASING ONTARIO POLICE FORCE PERSONNEL (Continued from Page 1) tinued from the service at any time and 'for any reason, The mini- mum age limit of forty-two has been imposed to avoid taking on the regular force, as permanent constables, men of military age, in order that there may be no conflict with the military requirements of the nation. Veteran Guards Engaged Veteran guards have been en- gaged from time to time to guard important Provincial work. All of these have been ex-service men recommended by the Veterans' Security Committee, which repre- sents all the veteran organizations in the Province, The qualifications of these men as to age limits and otherwise have been practically the same as in the case of special po- lice. Furthermore, they have been selected from the immediate dis- trict where their services were re- quired. Vacancies in the motorcycle patrol. due mostly to natural cause, un- fortunate accidents and enlistments for active military service, have been replaced by appointments to the permanent force. These va- cemcies, however, are few in num- ber. The maximum age limit for recruits to the motorcycle patrol is thirty, and the other require- ments include experience in motor- cycle riding and a high standard of physical and educational attain- ment. Although the age limit of thirty yesrs may come within the military age limit, it is nevertheless necessary to impose such an age limit because this branch of the service requires, and can only be satisfactorily filled by, young me:.

On the other hand, he said, Brit- ish officials had reason to believe that the R.AF. had caused "very heavy damage indeed" on German oil refineries, st orage tanks and war industries suehi as'airplane fac. tories and the like, and communica. tions. Hitting Germans Hard "There has scarcely been a single day in which we have not been carrying the war into the enemy's territory," he said. "We are hitting the Germans hard in Germany and We are going on hitting them." In addition to this duty, British fliers have heen keeping up con- ® stant patrols beyond the west of * England, beyond Ireland, up to Ice- land, and even as far as Greenland, on the constant lookout for Ger- man submarines and against the possibility of German naval surface vessels sneaking out to the high Seas. Regarding the threatened attack on Britain, Sir Archibald said: "If the enemy is preparing an invasion of this country he may start not onlv from his native Ger- man bases, hut may come down Stavanger. He may come out of WOMAN M.P. WILL SPEAK IN OSHAWA (Continued from Page 1) forget that. I shall never forget why I was sent here and whom I represent." W. E.

PHONE 1507 ta REALTY VALUES WILL INCREASE, S PREDICTION Last War's Experience In- dicates Climb, Toronto Assessor Says Toronto, July 18. -- Real estate acuvity has increased markedly in Toronto this year, and there is every evidence that prices have stabilized, W. George Farley, Assessment Com missioner for the city, said last night. In the first six months of last year transfers for real estate, both residential and commercial, totalled 3,281, compared with 3,720 for the first months of 1940. "If history repeats itself, the ex- perience of the last war would in- dicate that property values will in- crease markedly as the war con- tinues and continue increasing after the war," said Mr. Farley, who has been in the assessment department for forty-nine years. He recalls that in the last two years of the first Great War property values jumped and continued to soar until they reached their peak about 1926. Records of realty transfers show that persons who in previous years have shown themselves remarkably astute in their investments are in- cluded among those purchasers who have been picking up real estate bargains in the city since shortly after the war began. "In the first two years of the first Gre at War, there was prac- tically no building and the later demand pushed up the value of im- proved property," Mr. Farley recall- ed. "During the present war, resi- dential building has remained fairly active, particularly in North To- | ronto." The Assessment Commissioner pointed out that prosperity and de- pression' usually have succeeded each other in seven-year cycles over | a long period of commercial activity. "We have long passed the seven- year cycle of depressed prices, we are now in the eleventh year, and I believe that since property values are now shown to have been stabil. ized at a bargain low, the upturn In real sstate prices may begin soon," Mr. Farley sald. The more apparent examples of depressed realty values are the large homes constructed before the last war by men who have since died and whose children have not wish- ed to carry a large house In some areas of the city these large houses have been converted Into small apartment houses or duplexes, but in others this alteration has been prevented by residential restric- tions. OPEN PROBE INTO RAILWAY FATALITY Adjourn Inquest Into Omemee Wreck Until July 25 Lindsay, July 18--Crown officials have opened an inquest into the death of Conrad Smelser of New Toronto, fatally injured in a rail- road accident near Omemee Satur- day. The inquiry, under Coroner Dr. W. D. Thomas of Bobcaygeon, was adjourned until Thursday, July 25. Crown Attorney J. E. Anderson stated last night no charge had been laid against Phil Harford, Co- bourg truck driver involved in the accident that cost Smelser's life. Smelser, fireman on the Peter- boro to Lindsay morning passenger train, was pinned against the loco- motive boiler for nearly two hours when the engine upset after being in collision with the loaded oil truck two miles east of Omemee and about fourteen miles from here. Al- though both passenger coaches on the train were burned to a mass of twisted steel, the passengers escap- ed without injury. Freed through the efforts of Wil- liam Fisher of Omemee, Smelser was rushed to Ross Memorial Hos- pital here but his condition after showing slight improvement at first, gradually grew worse. Death came about 2 o'clock yesterday morning. While trapped in the overturned locomotive the fireman displayed great bravery despite his extensive injuries and directed the efforts of workers who eventually freed him. Death is believed due to shock in- duced by the extensive burns he received from the hot water and steam that surged through the cab. The victim was a resident of New Toronto for about twenty years and became a railway employee fifteen years ago. Large Registration At Summer Bible School den, Gordon Rahme; Obituary MRS. ELLA L. PHILLIPS Mrs. Ella Louise Phillips, wife of the late W. C. Phillips, former. resi- dent of Oshawa, passed away at Toronto on Wednesday, July 17, fol. lowing a prolonged illness.

They lived in Oshawa for a short time and then removed to Toronto, where Mr. Phillips passed away some years ago. The late Mrs. Phil- lips attended St. George's Church. She is survived by two sons, Col. W. E. Phillips and A. M. Phillips of Oshawa, and four sisters, Mrs. F. W, Cowan, Toronto, Mrs. Maury, Seattle, Wash., Miss Ada MacMillan and Mrs. Dart, living in California. The late Mrs. Phillips is resting at the funeral chapel of A. W.

PRESIDENT (Continued from Page 1) tion platform promising not to send United States armed forces to fight in foreign lands, outside the Americas, "except in case of at- tack." Action came after Senator Rob- ert F. Wagner, of New York, plat- | form committee chairmen, read the document amid frequent interrup- tions of cheering and applause. Repeat Third Term Ban Just before the vote, Representa- tive Elmer J. Ryan, of Minnesota, offered an amendment to the plat- form declaring that no mea shall be eligible for a third term for pre- sident. Booing drowned out the clerk's voice as he read the anti-third term proposal and then the dele- gates shouted it down vociferously by a voice vote. The 4,000 word document, com- pleted after hour of bickering in the resolutions committee had thrown the convention off schedule, also declared that the United States "cannot afford heartlessly or in u spirit of appeasement to ignore the peace-loving and liberty-loving peo- ples wantonly attacked by ruthless aggressors." The platform pledged thet the party, if elected in the November elections, would take steps "to ex- tend to these peoples all the ma- terial aid at our command, consist- ent with law and not inconsistent .with the interests of our own na- tional self-defence -- all to the end that peace and international good faith may yet emerge triumphant." Some of its authors said the for- eign policy plank would assure a "middle of the road" course in foreign affairs and Senator Burton Wheeler of Montane declared that if adhered to, it would thoroughly protect the United States and guar- antee that there would be "no intervention" in foreign wars. Before it was finally adopted, however, Senator Claude Pepper, of Florida, had led an unsuccessful fight for a plank pledging "full aid short of war" for the democracies and "a solemn pledge" that the United States would not extend the "hand of appeasement" to dictator- ships. 31.
