PAGE EIGHT Zi A Bi > THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, JULY 22, 1940 SEES EMPIRE AS STABILIZING FORCE FOR LAW, ORDER (Continued from Page 1) thing, the British Empire, part empire and. part onwealth, is the only world-wide organization in existence, .the world equalizer and equilibrium. ; "If you bring it down, the planet will yock with an earthquake such as it has never known. We in the United States will shake with that earthquake, and so will Germany." "I think that often in your sleep- less night you realize this Mr. Hitler, and sweat breaks over you, thinking for a moment not of a Nazi defeat, but of a Nazi victory." Prime Minister Winston Church- ill was described by Miss Thomp- son as "the master of the dyke against world chaos." She did not know what spirits surrounded Hitler, "but around you Winston Churchill, is a gallant com- pany of ghosts. Elizeeth is there, and sweetest Shakespeare. Drake is there, and Raleigh, and Welling- ton. Burke is there, and Walpole and Pitt. "Byron is there and Wordsworth and Shelley. Yes, and I think Washington is there, and Hamilton, two men of English blood whom gallant Englishmen defended in your parliament. And Jefferson is your parliament. - And Jeffreson is there, who died again the other day in France. All the makers of a world of freedom and law are there." Miss Thompson said she expected that the whole force of German propaganda in the immediate future would be concentrated on trying to break down Britain by removing her leadership. "It seems that Germany hes no quarrel with Great Britain. Hitler's quarrel is exclusively with this par- ticular British Government, and especially with its head, Mr. Church- ill. If Mr. Churchill will only re- sign and & government come in which is acceptable to Mr. Hitler, he will be glad to make peace im- mediately." This, said Miss Thompson was a line of argument that everybody was familier with. 7t had been used with Austria, C® cho-Slovakia and other countries that Germany had absorbed. Power Interruptions Occur Friday Evening Oshawa"s downtown section was without electricity for well over half-an-hour Friday from about 4:50 to 5:30. The weather happen- ed to be rather cloudy and so the stores were quite dark. A wire down on Mary street near Richmond was the cause of the discontinuance of power. i The General Motors was also without power for a time on the same day when a short circuit oc- curred on one of the main lines. Workmen were changing electric wires over to new poles when two live wires crossed. Witnesses said they saw huge blue flames roll along the line. The repair was made without delay.

OLD YMCA. IS HEADQUARTERS REGISTRATION JOB (Continued from Page 1) six deputies in each of the 60 to 70 booths in the riding to adequately handle the large number which will register. Col. Chappell made his first ap- peal for voluntary workers today at the Rotary Club luncheon meeting at the Genosha Hotel and intimat- ed thet similar appeals would be made at the meetings of the Ki- wanis and Kinsmen clubs this week. This registration is more than a community service, it is a national service Col. Chappell point- ed out, as he asked for help from anyone queiified for one day or more. The Department of Education, Toronto, has sent out notices to all school boards to make available the schools under their jurisdiction for taking registrations and Col. Chap- pell send that in addition to the schools an attempt would be made to secure other places so that the work might be speeded up and com- pleted in three days, The Y.M.C.A. building, purchas- ed by the Federal Government to be demolished as part of the site of a new post office, is to be furnished as hezxdquarters, a telephone instal- led and a secretary engaged. The registrars are supposed to have their personal booths arranged by August and to report same to Ot- tawz, after which the registration dates will be announced. Further announcements are to be made and a summary of the ques- tions to be answered by each per- son registering will be published at a later defe. On a trial of the time it takes to complete each question- naire, it was found that 15 minutes is the shortest approximate time, providing the person knows all the answers at once. Wilh 44,000 or more persons to register in Ontario riding it is easily seen thst it will take at least 11,000 hours. If this divided into 60 booths for 12 hours for three days, it approximates 2,- 160 hours, or about six deputy regi- strars will be needed at each booth. As no funds are available Col. Chap- pell finds it necessary to ask for volunteers for this service and would be pleased to have qualified persons telephone him offering help. It is expected that registrations will be completed on or before August 19. 700 HEAR WOMAN WP. DENDINCE PREMIER KING (Continued from Page 1) their capital and in one instemce profits amounting to 8 millions of dollars a year, This fiery woman M.P. claimed that just previous to the outbreak of war a movement was on foot among the common people of Cen- ada to take matters into their own hands, and to solve the economic problem where the gvernment had failed to do so. "We have the spirit and the structure of fascism already imple- mented in the country," declared the spesiker, in criticizing the con- scription of manpower and other war-time acts of the present gov- ernment. She urged her hearers to actively oppose the bill before the Canadian Parliament which will make the saving of money com- pulsory. : Mrs, Nielsen advised the women to take @ greater interest in the government of their country. "For years we have left the government of the country to men, and look what a mess they have made of it," she declared. Canadians should try to get & comprehensive view of the situation, and some day be in a position to say "O Canada, We Have Stood On Guard for Thee!" William E. Noble was chairman of the gathering, ©:ad Hugh McIn- tyre and Nick Williams presented Canadian Youth Congress reports on the "Civil Liberties Group" and "Conditions of Youth," respectively. Appreciation was expressed to the management of the Biltmore The- atre for the loan of their building, and to the theatre employees ad others who had given their time to make the meeting possible. NOTED SUBMARINE 1 BELIEVED 10ST (Continued from Page 1) where at the bottom of the North Sea while men in other little pig boats go out to take their places. "Considerably Overdue" London, July 22.--The Admiralty announced last night that the fam- ous submarine Salmon is "consid- erably overdue and must be pre- sumed lost." The 670-ton Salmon is the sub- marine which sighted the German liner Bremen last December 12 but did not attempt to torpedo her, out of regard for international law, be- cause sufficient warning could not have been given the Bremen crew. The Salmon earlier that day sank a German submarine. The British submarine on the same day hit the German cruiser Liepzig with a torpedo and dam- aged the German cruiser Bluecher, The Bluecher later was destroy- ed by Norwegian shore batteries in the German invasion of Norway, April 9. The Salmon's commander, E. O. Bickford, was promoted from lieu- tenant-commander to commander and received the Distinguished Ser- vice Order for the December ac- tion. His crew received decorations. Normal Crew Forty The Admiralty announcement of the submarine's loss did no! give any hint concerning her assign- ment. Her normal crew was forty men. . The Salmon was completed in March, 1935. She was a member of the Shark class of submersibles, rated by the authoritative naval manual, Jane's Fighting Ships, as "very handy craft capable of mak- ing a crash dive in thirty seconds." 643 RECRUITS ARE SIGNED BY MILITIA (Continued from Page 1) who have applied for enrolment in the regiment. Whitby Answers Call (By Whitby Editor) Whitby, July 22.--The reality of | war and the country's need of men | to serve king and country were fur- | ther brouzht home to the people of | this county town over the week-end as recruiting was brisk for the Sec- | ond Battalion, Ontario Regiment | (Infantry). The historic armoury | building, once headquarters. of the old 34th and later the Ontario Re- | giment companies, closed for sev- | eral months, again opened its doors to receive recruits, and by ten | o'clock Saturday night about 60 | local men had signed up, a good | percentage of this number being | married men with families. To | many of the younger men, without home ties, the call to volunteer for service fell on deaf ears, but re- cruiting officers. are hopeful that some of them who might have been a little hesitant at first will sign up in the next few days. The fact that Whitby has sent over 100 men already to various units overseas and in Canada must be considered, it is pointed out. Some local men have also signed up with the On- | tario Regiment at Oshawa in the | last few days. It is understood that the objec- tive for the town of Whithy is suf- ficient men to form a company. A sound truck playing martial airs tourned the streets of the town sev- | eral times on Saturday and was | parked in front of the armoury, | and this helped to arouse some en- thusiasm. Among the first to sign up was Ex-mayor Ed. Bowman, and | he was followed by 10! a few of the the guest preacher at the evening | service. business men who could qualify as | as dirt-filled water choked it. | ter flooded the streets here | St. | of the Clouds", to age. The armoury remains open for a few days more and it is expected that many more names will be added to the regimental lists." Re- cruits are also to be sought in the outlying districts, it is said, in order to make the battalion a County of Ontario unit. God Will Answer British Prayers, Declares Divine Rev. Ivor Pritchard of Carolyne Street Mission, Hamilton, brought a mesage of comfort to the congre- gation of Calvary Baptist Church on Sunday morning. He read the Old Testament story of how Abra- ham pleaded with God to spare the wicked city of Gomorrah for the sake of the few righleous people therein, and based his remarks on the two questions: "Shall God de- stroy the just with the unjust?" and "Shall not the God of all the earth do right?" Mr, Pritchard re- ferred to the crowded churches in England on the day of prayer, and stated that God would not be un- mindful of the cry for help which had gone up from the British Em- pire. He described the gallantry of the English sailors as told by a survivor of the Athenia who had been in his church for some time. The saint of God has nothing to fear and nothing to lose, pointed out Mr. Pritchard, as his hope is in things eternal. Storm Sewers On Strike In Storm The Local Union of Associated Storm Sewers went on strike yester- dey afternoon, and absolutely re- fused to allow the passage of any more rain water. As a result (?) the rain soon petered out. "If we did not put our foot down some- times it would rain all the time," declared union officials. "Enough 1s enough!" sed the drain at the cor- ner of Division and William streets Wa- and created a dangerous situation for automobiles. LITTLE BROWN CHURCH Rev. Mr. Turner of Toronto, was the guest speaker at the Little Brown Church on Sunday evening. He was assisted by Robert Hing- ston, who read the Scripture lesson, Matthew 24: 1-14. Miss Lillian Harrison, of Toronto, sang "Back and Miss Harrison and Miss Vivian St. Clair sang a duet. There was a splendid attend- ance at the Sunday School in the afternoon when Mr. Turner gave an illustrated lecture on Noah's Ark. Two young ladies from Toronto en. tertained the boys and girls with gospel songs and Miss Myrna Arm- strong also sang. Next Sunday Rev.
