VIOLIN RECITAL AN OUTSTANDING EVENT Pupils of Professor Broadus Farmer Are Artists of Note An exceptionally fine violin reci- 'tal far surpassing anything ever be- fore heard in this city was attended by only a fair sized audience last evening in Simcoe street United Church. The pupils 'of Professor Broadus Farmer of Toronto gave one of the violin recitals for which they are famous through United States and Canada. Every number without exception would stand test with any of the leading violin ar- tists of the day. The most difficult passages of famous selections were played with apparent ease by these prodigies. The first number D Major Con- certo, first movement. (Tscharkow- sky, was executed by Hyman Good- man with a complete mastery of the violin, very unusual for a boy of his age. Mark Peel played Legende by Wieniawski, with remarkable tonal qualities and intonation. An- tony (Remonsh played Midnight, Bells, (Herberger-Kresiler), and 'Molly on the Shore by Kreisler as only an artist can play. Abie Stein- berg's. rendering of the Spanish Symphony. (Lalo.) was presented as only a true artist could play. The technique was marvellous, the slow movements were beautiful, the cadenzas and quick passages were executed with perfect intonation. Abie. Pratz player the difficult B inor Concerto (Mendelssohn) with .flawless bowing and technique, in- comprehensible for a boy of twelve years. John Decaon's rendering of The Girl of The Golden West, (Puc- cine) was a credit to his teacher, Mr. M. M. Stevenson. He has a clear round voice which was truly a pleasure to hear. Miss Florence Craig, pupil of Ernest J. Farmer, accompanied the difficult numbers played by violin- ists as only a great pianist could do. Mr, Samuel Collis is to be con- gratulated for bringing to Oshawa such wonderful talent. Having such a teacher as Professor Farmer whose method he uses, there is no doubt that he will have some really great musicians in the near future.

SUDBURY STREETS ARE UNDER WATER Sudbury, Nov. 15.--Streets of Sud- bury are this evening in a flooded condition as the result of a heavy thaw which broke with the incessant rains which have prevailed since Saturday. Nelan's Creek, which tra- verses the business section of the town, overran its banks and iniuh- dated the cellars of neighboring stores and residences. The water reached the highest level in years. At 11 o'clock this evening there was no sign of the flood receding. Fears are entertained that the new bridge constructed on College street will be affected, as the fill has been in place only for three weeks' time. Two street bridgey are blocked with ice. Inquisitive guest: "And have you any little sisters?" Little Girl: "No. But I have two brothers at school, and they have a sister, and I am it."

H. Everson, member of the Oshawa Housing Commission and promin- ent citizen. - Mr. Everson has for some days been ill at his home, 171 King St. E., but is so interested in the campaign that this afternoon he granted The Reformer an in terview in the course of which he made the following statement: "In the city of Oshawa during the past 8 or ten years there has been a very marked improvement in the housing conditions and home life of the people. "Simultaneously with the coming of General Motors there sprang up among the working class a desire for ownership and while at the be- ginning of this period only about 22 per cent. of this class owned their homes, now over 80 per cent. of these families are reg'stered as owners." Most of these homes have heen purchased on easy-payment plants, Mr. Everson explained, and he re- marked that to date very few have defaulted payment. "Most of them," he said, "are putting up a heroic struggle to keep their families in decency and meet the monthly or quarterly payments (Continued on page 3) FRENCH FREIGHTER HITS COAL CARRIER (By Canadian Press) ' Quebec, Nov. 17.--The Dominion Coal Company steamer, Hochelaga, plying between Montreal and Syd- ney, N.S., is beached at Channel Patch in the St. Lawrence about 48 miles below Quebec, as the result of a collision between the collier and the French owned freighter, Leopold, L.D., about 4 o'clock thjs morning, The Leopold L.D. is pro- weeding to .this port under her own steam, So far no casualties have Leen reported.

And the somewhat amazing fact seems to be, according to a state- ment by authorities of the city who had to do with the correction of the lists, that not nearly all who appealled will find their names on the 1'sts as they are printed. This was without exception the fault of the persons concerned, com- bined with '"'poor staff work" at the committee rooms of the two political parties. People sent in their names to both parties and cons'dered that to mean that they would be looked after. That was not the procedure, how- ever. The person appealling had to appear before his Honor Judge Thompson, Committee room workers have said they had not sufficient time properly to do the work which was imposed upon them. But the lists of appellants is more numerous than the actual 'additions to the lists, and that is how the matter rests Ten hundred i servative candidate ir Ex=Attorney STACEY SPEAKS AT CLAREMONT, ALSO VICTORIA CORNERS Says the Campaign is Now Becoming a Battle of Works AT SCUGOG TONIGHT Conservative Candidate is to Address Oshawa Audience Tomorrow Night One of the largest and most en- thusiastic meetings which Mr. John Stacey, Conservative candidate, has addressed during the present cam- paign, was at Victoria Corners last evening. With Mr. Stacey were (apt. Joe Lawson, from Toronto, and Dr. James Moore. Mr. Bell, Cor- rth Ontar- io, was also there. The hall was filled, with people standing, and the interest was main- tained until about half past eleven when the speaking ceased. The present situation said Mr. Stacey, is resolving itself into a bat- tle of words between two strongly marked camps, those of the temper- ance people and those supporting for various reasons the Ontario Temper- ance Act. Mr. Stacey said he had attended and been a member of a Temperance Society when in his youth, and in those days the tem- perance societies had been the chief means of repressing the drink traf fic.

Mrs. Ashmore today flatly contradicted published reports ob- tained from official sources that the shooting was the result of a family dispute. '"We were on the best of terms, My husband kissed me as he left the house. He said he had to see a certain person near the Four Corners. That was about ten o'clock. He came back about two o'clock bleeding from the wound. I do not know what caused him to do it. "But I want it known that it was not because of any quarrel," she declared. U.S. COAST IS LASHED BY STORM Heavy Damage to Property in Eastern States--Death of Child Reported New York, Nov. 16.--A southeast gale and driving rains swept the Atlantic Coast today, causing one death in the city and doing exten- sive damage to property on Long Island and in New Jersey and East- ern Pennsylvania. In the city the wind reached a maximum of 72 miles an hour at 1.30 o'clock. The death in New York was di- rectly attributable to the wind. Mar- garet Paxtro, aged 3, of 602 Car- roll Street, Brooklyn, was playing on the fourth floor fire-escape at her home when a gust of wind blew her into the backyard. She died in- stantly. In Asbury Park, N.J., it is re- ported, a wall of the Mayfair The- atre, under construction, was blown down by a 75-mile an hour wind, but 25 workmen in an adjoining building escaped. In Eastern Penn- sylvania it is reported that heavy rains and wind caused minor floods in several places.
