THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, MAY 10, 1928 Inju red When Struck by Osh Critically WHITBY Representative-- JAMES HOLDEN Phone, House 15--Office 434 (00D RESPONSE IN GLEAN-UP DRIVE Whitby Citizens Are Busy Clearing . Away All Rubbish (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, May 10--Now that the weather is fine the great majority of Whitby's. citizens are responding nobly to the clean up and paint up campaign inaugurated by the town council this spring. Folks are work- ing in gardens and lawns, leaves and rubbish are being raked up and every evening one sees and smells the pun- gent smoke of bonfires in many parts of the town. Although it is somewhat early for exterior painting there is every evi- dence that a number of homes and buildings will be brightened by paint in the next month or two. Local hardware merchants are co-operating to the extent of offering special values in paint . "Save the surface and you save all," might not apply to everything but the council believes that if Whitby is given a good sur- face through bright homes and trim gardens it will make the town highly attractive from a residential stand- point. SMOKER, CONGERT GREAT SUCCESS Held By Whitby Post No. 112, Canadian Legion (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, May 10.-A very suc- cessfu smoker and concert was con- ducted by Whitby Post 112, Cana- dian Legion, in the legion's club rooms, over A, H. Allin's drug store last night. The concert in- cluded outstanding Oshawa and Whitby artists. whose work was heartily appreciated and encored. In keeping with the smoker the usu] clay pipes and tobacco were distributed while those who tired of smoking pipes enjoyed a few fags or cigars. The president of the local post, Mr. John MeLelland, acted in the capacity of chairman, At the opening of the program a few minutes silence were observ=- ed in honor of those who had given their lives overseas and Sergt.- Major J. Parker, of "C'" Company, Ontario Regiment, . sang in fine baritone voice "There is no Death." The principal speaker of the evening was Major R. B. Smith, of Columbus, commanding officer of "C" Company, Ontario Regiment, Major Smith's remarks chiefly con- cerned the regiment and.in partl- lar "C" Company in which a num- ber of Whitby young men are ene rolled. Majo? Smith regretted that there seem@®l to be a lack of in- terest in the regiment and he '~W- dered if a platoon formed of Great War veterans would not stimulate increased interest. The militia training for young men he cialmed to be good as it taught them erect bearing and promptness in obey- ing orders. If cziled upon to de- fend thei® gouniry he thought that men who had received this training would make much better soldiers than absolutely raw recruits. Major Smith believed that there was no: a man present who desired an- other war and he thought that the League of Nations was doing much to prevent their occurrence. But there was no proof of continued peace and preparedness was neces- sary for every nation. Briefly he referred to the training camp at EN ---- DP -- 31 Hudson and 1 Essex Coach, late models, in perfect order, new duco F Chadburs Motor Co.

At one'time members of the regiment had enjoyed two weeks' stay at camp whereas now it was difficult to persuade some of the older men to go at all. Major Smith made mention of certain ex- aminations recently conducted in the armories at Oshawa in which a number of Whitby lads participat- ed. In every case the local can- didates had dome well according to the examining officer, G. W. P. Every, superintendent of the Whitby public utility com- mission and formrer army major, gave an interesting address on the matter of illuminating the town's beautiful war memorial at night. Mr. Every outlined three possinle schemes as suggested to him by the engineering department of tne Canadian General Electric. In each case one or two spot lights would be required and it is for the legion to decide whether one, two or three sides of the monument will be 11- luminated. A fourth scheme, the suggestion of Mr. Parker, would necessitate two. ornamental light standards and assure the illumina- tion of three sides. The approxi- mate cost would be $300 and Mr. Every thought that the town might assist to the extent of providing the light. Mr, Parker was strongly in favor of the latter method and at the conclusion of Mr, Every's speech he added that the legion could easily raise the necessary funds even as it had raised the $7,000 for the erection of the memorial, Other items on the program in- cluded piano solo, Thos.

LEVEL GROUNDS AT HIGH SCHOOL Preparatory to Seeding Oper- ations--The Grounds Terraced Whitby, May 10--Preparatory to seceding operations the grounds of the Whitby High School are being level- led under supervision of Mr. Robert Anderson, caretaker of the school. When the new wing was erected to the school the grounds were neces- sarily cut up during building opera- tions and much of the earth removed in excavation was dumped on the playing field with the result that the field was raised.to such an extent that its eastern border is now on the same level as the western border whereas formerly it sloped from west to east. The grounds have been ter- raced along Centre street and when finally carpeted with grass they will greatly enhance the appearance of the High school. ' FIRST RAGE OF HOMING SOCIETY Storm Causes Pigeons to Make Slow Time from Brechin Oshawa's homing pigeons were put to the test on Saturday last when the first race of the season was staged by the Oshawa Homing Society from Brechin, Ontario, a distance of 50 miles air line. Unfortunately a storm arose just after the birds were liberated, with the result that a very slow race was flown, Oshawa fanciers have always been able to boast of having some of the gamest pig- cons on the continent and it is such days as Saturday last that proves their boast to be correct, when their birds will come through rain as they did and nrake the race com= plete. The honor of winning the first race of the season goes to the loft of Wotten & Merritt.

READERS' VIEWS LETTER TO EDITOR Editor, The Oshawa Daily Times, Dear Sir: You will possibly recall the two women who were arrested for shop lifting in Loblaw's grocery store some time last weck, As I had contemplated changing my staff of cleaners before this in- cident happened it has been reported to me that all of my staff were dis- missed for the actions of the two women who. were drrested. This I might say, is not so and it is the re- quest of the innocent women that I forward this letter to you so that they will be exonerated from any suspicion which might be reflected upon them. Diamond Jubilee of Simcoe _*Street United Church to Be Observed on Mam- moth Scale -- Attractive Programs Are Arranged --Services Sunday Will Open Week of Celebra- tion One week from tonight, as one of the most interesting programs in connection with the Diamond Jubilee celebration of Simcoe street United church, the Sunday School will pre- sent the pageant "The Sunday School Garden." The pageant, which will be pre- sented m five acts, will show a con- trast between the yesterday of 1808 and today, sixty years later. First will be shown "The Sunday School Garden Uncultivated," with Father Time and mother nature. Then the first eftorts of cultivation will be depicted in scene two, with religious education and faith, hope and charity playing their. part, The division of work between the home, the day school and the Sunday School, will be depicted in very in- teresting fashion, showing a new light: on this question, Then, in the next scene, the fruits of the culti- vated garden will be shown in the organization of the church school. Its amns, its progress and growth, and the achievements it accomplishes will be depicted in order, The final two scenes will continue in the illustration of the Sunday School Garden, showing how, after they have received its training, the children live in the Way of Christ, and finish with "Praise to Him Who is the Way." The pageant is being directed by Mrs, A. W. Bell of this city. Another interesting program to be presented during the coming week of this church's Jubilee is "Ye Olde Tyme Choir Concert" presented by the choir of the church in costume of sixty years ago. The choir, under the direction of Mr. J. H. Renwick, organist and choirmaster, have pre- pared a varied program of vocal and instrumental selections of days gone by, and many old favorites that have perhaps not been heard by some for years, will be given. Readings and humorous dialogues will also be in- troduced during the evening. On every cvening of the week, a program will be presented by onc of the departments of the church, start- ing with the Young People's night on Monday, and a reception to old friends of the congregation and its present members, by the Official Board, on Tucsday evening. On Fri- day cvening a supper wi be served, with a varied program following, and this evening is the only one in which an admission fee will be charged, al- though the Jubilee is incurring con- siderable expense to the officials. Fine scrvices have also been arranged for both Sunday, May 13, and Sunday, May 20. NEW CONGREGATION A LOGICAL STEP North End Resident Praises Move of the United Church Oshawa, Ont.,, May 10th, 1928 Editor Oshawa Daily Times. Dear Sir: . Have just rcad with interest the announcement in today's issue of the "Times" of the movement on foot to establish a new congregation of the United Church in the community of North Simcoe, This, I believe, is the logical thing to do due to the establishment of so many homes in this section of our city. The district north of, Aberdeen and Alexandra streets is destined to be one of the greatest residential parts and a community is not complete without its church. Fortunate indeed is the city whose interests are cen- tred in its churches. The proposal to form one in this district is a laud- able one, from a practical as well as a moral standpoint and worthy of the support of every citizen. Yours very truly, IRA E. GILLETTE. 528 Mary St., Oshawa, Ont.

J. Burns Tells of Fine Qualities of American People RESPECT FOR CANADA Uneasiness is Caused By Commercial and Industrial "Depression Mr. W. J. Burns of 61 Alexandra street has returned this week from the Southern States after spending three months there in their milder climate. "It really takes several visits of some duration to the Re- public," said Mr. Burns, "to be- come reasonably acqutained with its fairs, and the viewpoints of the people there. My visits have served to enlighten me very great- ly. Contrary to widespread opin- ion in Canada, devotion to religious observance, firm support of prohi- bition, the love of family life and children, and enthusiastic support of education, characterize the great mass of the American people. The Republic is no more to be judged by New York or Chicago than France is to be judged by Paris. Everywhere in the Press and con- versation, the expressions regard- ing Canada and the Canadian peo- ple are invariably favorable and most kindly. They appear to re- gard us with great respect as in- dividuals. "Although great efforts are be- ing made to guard the evidences, commercial and industrial depres- sion is appearing here and there, and causing uneasiness as to the extent to which these influences may grow through the approaching summer and early fall. In Novem- ber the Presidential election takes place. jovernor Smith, of New York State, a Roman Catholic, is now expected to be the Democratic candidate. This unusual choice is proving to be an enlightening mile- stone as to the character of the cleavage at the present time be- tween the two great divisions of the Christian Church. Very happy conclusions are drawn from opine fons generally current. However widely different the opposing clergy and priesthood may be in their doe- trines and practices, the laity to- day in the Catholic and Protestant churches are considered nearer to- gether in friendly sympathy and freer from hatred and malice than at any period since the Reforma- tion. I am sure everyone will hope this mutual good feeling may con- tinue to enlarge, "The Atlantic seaboard has wit- nessed an unusual wet spring.

In speaking to The Oshawa Daily Times this morning regarding the accident, Mr. Smith stated that he was going west-near the Highland Creek bridge, and that ,while there was little traffic in a westerly dircc- tion when the accident occurred, a string of seven or eight cars was coming from the other direction. Cowling, he said, darted out sudden- ly from between two automobiles in the line, about one' and a hali car lengths in front oi Smith, who had no chance to stop or swerve to the side to avoid the accident. Cowling, according to Chief of Police Smith, was on his way to at- tend a lodge meeting when the acci- dent happened, shortly after seven o'clock last evening, Dr. C .D. Far- quharson was summoned and render- ed first aid, after which the man was removed to the Toronto General Hospital, where he was stated to be in a precarious conditicn. SUCKER FISHING IN FULL SWING (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, May 9.-- 'Sucker fishin' "* as the boys call it, 13 in full swing at all the nearby streams and rivers now, The boys may be seen at night bring- ing bags of these fish into the town, proving that although Spring {itself was slow in arriving, the fishing has come along as us- ual. Several report the streams full of the fish, In many instances all that is needed to catch the fish is a spear and bag. In one place a group of boys caught more than 50 of these fish. It is said that the suckers or mullets are good for eating at this season but later on they become soft, and are not used so much for table use. At any rate they are being caught, CLOSE CHECK-UP ON TRAFFIC BY-LAWS (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, May 9. -- Traffic bylaws are being closely checked up in the tcwn of Bowmanville.

J. Burns on Return Home from South Says Cty of Oshawa is Now Having Its Innings Mr. W. J. Burns is home again from the Southern States where he spent three months with thousanas of other northern people enjoying the milder winter climate there. I received the Daily Times regular: ly," said Mr. Burns, "I was auuuz- ed at the severity of the community brain-storm which seemingly en- veloped the whole city during the formation and endowment of the Chamber of Commerce. Now that the magic word "Service" is the watchword, in a wider sense than formerly conceived, in the church, the fraternal society and the eity, individualism is shrinking in prac- tice, and the strength and efficiency of unity in effort is drawinz men everywhere out of their shells to its support. Our city is now hav- - ing its innings; and the new Cham- ber should, as hoped for. be a great aid in solving the pressing prob- lems existing within and outside its bursting boundaries. Those wlio did net join the Chamber of Come merce may still aid, substantially, in pushing the city ahead. ' "They may brighten the home fronts with flowers and general neatness, The Home and Schoo] Clubs and other uplift societies are always beckoning for good work- ers. That splendid source of tax- es for eity advancement in public works--the store-keeping element --needs more faithful support. Ev. erything to advance Oshawa should be the aim. I hope to see the day through extension of news service, the Daily Times will be considered sufficiently for us as'an evening pa- per. There are thousands more evening papers sent" into Oshawa than into Hamilton by Toronto pub- Ilications. Hamilton is fighting for Hamilton and see its growth." 'MADAME.

Robertson was also fined the minimum penalty for failure to ob- serve a stop sign at the cornér of Brock and Simcoe streets, Mr. Rob- ertson was late In arriving at court a3 he failed to realize that the city is operating on daylight saving time. He quite fr nkly admitted that he had failed to observe the stop sign at this particular inter- section having been in' charge of a new car at the time. His Worship commended him for his frankness and honesty. The third case, & similar offensg charged against C. D. Rodgers was dismissed on the grounds of insuf- ficient evidence. Rodgers was ac- cused of failing to observe the stop sign at the corner of Greta and Simcoe streets at 12.05 midnight, May 1. Sergeant Stauffer and a second constable testified that they had seen Rodger's car enter Sime coe street from Greta without stop- ping. They disputed the number and as the car was parked farther up the street Sergt.
