THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES. THURSDAY. MAY 10, 1928 "CLEAN-UP WEEK" IN OSHAWA PAGE NINE NOW IN FULL SWING Special Permission Given by the Fire Department to Permit Special Clean-Up in City Next Week Clean-up Week is Being - Well Observed in Oshawa All Bodies Uniting to Pro- mote General Clean-up of Rubbish --Beautifies City and Eliminates Fire Haz- . nr The "slap" of the paint brush and the hum-m-m of the vacuum cleancr are heard in the land, for this is Clean-Up and Paint-Up Week. The city council, the fire department and the Board of Health have united in roclaiming May 7 to 12 as Clean- te Week, with both especial privil- eges and Certain obligations which we ordinary citizens should observe. Among privileges of this weck, (be- sidé the eternal 'John, there's the din- ing room carpet yet ot beat!) is that of burning up, in good old bonfire fashion, all the rubbish that has been accumulating for the last «51 weeks, more or less , Fire Chief W. R, El- liott has announced that, providing veasonable care is used, open fires will be allowed during the week, which will make the disposition of rubbish considerably easier. Fires must be attended, however, and may not be lighted after dusk in the even- Mimination of the fire hazard is one of the chief reasons for Clean- Up Week, although it is by no means the only one. But it is considered sufficiently important that Provincial statutes give the Fire Marshall's de- artment, and through it, the Fire Ehiet of municipalities, the power to cause premises cleaned up, and, if necessary, have the owner prosecuted if there is an accumulation of mater- ial of sufficient quantity and of such nature as to be deemed a fire hazard. Occasionally the Fire Chief of this progressive city finds a business place or other premises with wooden boxes and crates, excelsior, oily rags, ctc, stuck away in odd corners and once in a while measures have to be taken to persuade the man to protect his own property and that of his neigh- bors. : The health of the city is also touch- ed vitally by Clean-Up Week, hence the concurrence and support of Dr. T. W. G. McKay and other members of the Board of Health, and of D. A. Hubbell, Sanitary Inspector. Accu- mulations of dirt and waste material are the paradise of flies and disease germs, and sometimes develop into a menace that affects the whole com- munity. Hence the Provincial Health Act provides that citizens observe Clean-Up Week as it is proclaimed in the municipality, by cleaning up refuse and all kinds of rubbish. And so Clean-Up Wétk causes Mr. Average Man to look about his pre- mises, and while he is doing so, he notices that the verandah really should be painted this spring, or that a couple of boards have worked loose over the winter, and that the hole in the concrete drivq hasn't improved any with the action of the frost. And that is where the 'Paint-Up' part of it comes in ,and painters and other men are busy repairing and re-paint- ing houses and stores and offices throughout the city. But Mr. Man .just gets through letting his painting contract, when his better half appears and informs him that the woodwork in the sit- ting room is a disgrace, that she wants the attic cleaned up right away, and that if he doesn't get his golf clubs out of the way they will fol- low his old trunk, full of love letters, into the yard bonefire. And so its Clean Up and Paint Up; and hurrah for housecleaning time! U.S. TO ESTABLISH SCHOOL FOR DIVERS . Washington, May 9.--The open- ing of a scheol for deep sea divers and the equipping of five vessels for submarine rescue work has been ordered by the Navy Pepart- ment. The schoo] will be opened about July 1, and it is planned to build up a force of about 52 deep sea divers of whom nine will be master of supervising divers, EFRIGERATORS ...allenamel and porcelain household equipment...

Police, who were tipped as to the plot and themselves informed Scot- land Yard as to the Prince's acti- vities in England, say Carol intend- ed to fly by plane under the strict- est incognito to Vienna, where he was to await word from his lieu- tenants that the time was ripe for his return to Rumania. .

The nature of the Government's response to his appeal wfll be an- nounced tomorrow in the House of Commons, but meantime. it is generally understood that tne tor- mer Rumanian Crown Prince fail- ed to get favorable consideration for his plea. Early Departure Seen Police dy remained su vows of the Surrey country house where Carol is a guest. The shades were drawn, .and inquirers refused an entry, The coming and going of sev- eral "mystery cars' this afternoon led to the belief that the unwant- ed visitor will soon be on his way. i0- SHE MIGHT ANSWER (Stratford Beacon-Herald) It's a matter of some months since Miss Macphail during a de- bate in the Commons made some very barbed comment about the war in China, Evidently she was under the ini- pression that the British had stir- red up all the trouble there, A missionary in Southern Shan- tung has just sent out a few mea- gre details regarding the murder of Dr. Walter Seymour, Superin- tendent of the Presbyterian hospi- tal at Tsining, The missionary further request- ed that no mention he made of his name or location, "due to the pra- carious position of all the mission- aries in the area." Who is causing this "precarious position?" Is jit selves? " Or is it the meddlesome British?

Certain of these double stars are known a: cclipsing variables from the relatiou- ship of their orbits to the earth, and the most massive of these eclipsing bo Ph oy known as H. D, 1337, has been investigated recently at the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory at Victoria, British Columbia, The star was observed by an elec : photometer in Germany during 1920, and an accurate determination of its changes of brightness was published However, this. complex curve could not be interpreted for want of pre- cise information obtainable by mecans of the spectroscope. When the mat- ter was taken in hand at Victoria Observatory further investigation brought to light an extraordinary system, The following illustration may help us to visualize this great star, If the carth were @ l-inch sphere--much smaller than a golf ball--the sun would be represented by a great sphere 9 feet in diameter, filling an ordinary room. More than 1,300,000 earth-balls could then be thrown in- side such a hollow globe and there would still be plenty of space between them. On this same scale the larger star of this interesting system would be 214 fect in diameter and more than 13,000 sun-spheres and seventeen billion earth spheres would be re- quired to make up its tremendous volume. . Picture, then, these. two gigantic globes of flaming gases, practically mn contact and revolving about cach velocities exceed 150 miles per scc- 36 and 34 times that of the sun, The surface of these stars arc at tempera- tures of 50,000 degrees Fahrenheit, about 20 times that of molten iron. This intrinsically high temperature combined with the enormous surfaces of the stars makes the system 28,000 times more luminous than the 3un, and yet, so inconceivably remote is it that' the star cannot be seen with the naked eye. Light, which travcls at the prodigious velocity of miles per second, and speeds to from the sun in cight and a minutes, requires a journey of 000 years to come tg us from extraordinary double star, Senn ---------- half 10,- this Mohammedans will not wear silk because it 1s the product of a worm.

When it comes to the proportion of expenditure on naval defense in relation to the en trade of Jritain the infons the showing this country, the sixth in the world in volume, is no beiter. Here is the percentage of naval contributions in relation to imports-and exports, respectively, for 1927-28: Great Britain, 2.87 and 2.83 per .ceit; Canada, . and .08 per cent; Aus- tralia, 1.63 and 1.91 per cent; New Zealand, .60 and .70 per cent; South Africa, .09 and .07 per cent. When it to expenditure per head of population there is still nothing to ing of the heads of Canadians in pride.
