EE For Canning Store ---- THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, AUGUST 10, 1928 Plans Completed For . Monster G.M. Picnic Lakeview Tomorrow Problem Solved By Exec- utive, Regulations Being Benefit Lost Tent on Grounds Be Controlled By the -- Complete arrangements have mow been made for the monster General Motors Picnic tomorrow when upwards of 30,000 people are expected to gather at Lakeview Park. Preparations for the pienie which have been in the making for the past month have now come to a head, the result of which will make thousands of hearts happy, giving all a chance to enjoy them- selves to the fullest extent, The executive of the picnic come mittees wishes to thank the city council for its genuine interest in its behalf during the arranging of the program, The council's co-op- eration has certainly been appreci- ated, the executive said today. Ordinarily the transportation problem would present many diffi- culties to committees in charge of so large an outing, but so well have the committees done their work, that they believe they have accom- plished the impossible, that of ar- ranging a suitable and effective transportation system whereby the plenicers may be taken to and from the park, quickly, safely, and cour- teously. For the complete success of this venture, a few rules and regula tions have been propounded hoping to .give the guests at the picnic every aid in this direction, The general road to the park, as is gen erally known, is straight out Sim~ coe Street, past Cedardale to the; new concrete bridge, a few rods past, which is also a new gravel road turning off the highway w the west, All trafic as near as pos- gible will be turned in this direc- tion. There will be officers on duty at all main points to assist and direct 'the trafic, Parking space is reserved at the end of this new road where officers are placed to see that you obtain a space. Through trafic, however, will also make this trip, but in- stead of parking, will go right on through the baseball field, to the road running past the Jubilee Pa- vilion. The road returning to the city follows the general route back, This series of simple rules will keep trafice in a ONE WAY DIREC- TION, the object of the trafic com- mittee, and thus avert accidents or other possible delays through the two-way system. 'It is estimated that approximate. ly 4,000 automobiles will be brought to the park, and parking space for each is arranged. The tickets issued by the Gen- eral Motors picnic executive for transportation on the street cars or the special busses will be taken as fares by the conductors on any of those conveyances, Street car service will be in operation at all times, and it was announced that cars will run at most times oftener than every eight minutes, No defin- ite service could be stated, General Motors busses have been scheduled to leave Bowmanville and Whitby at 10 am, 11 am, and 1 p.m, during the day for the park, taking in the routes slong which they will pass, which in- cludes Harmony, Return busses will leave the park when occasion demands it, in the evening, or towards the end of the pienic. For the benefit of General Mo- tors' employees and thes families and friends, a field hospital is to b. maintained all through the day. Hot water for emergency cases or oer cases has been arranged, and a thoroughly equipped department with two competent nurses in charge will take care of sll acci- dent cases or other cases as need arises, A service car will be in use for the field hospital. Lost children will be cared for by the Boy Scouts in a special tent set aside for this purpose. The scouts will endeavor to take care of these lost little ones to the best of their ability. 'Your co-operation in advising them of children re- turned to parents will assist great- ly. A book containing the names and descriptions of lost kiddies will be kept and a signature requir. ed of the party to whom they are returned. It is of greatest im ) that the records are com- pleted; otherwise a long, unneces- sary search may be mi for chil- dren who are safe at home, The scouts wish to assist in all possible ways; but an instance such as occurred last year should be avoided. A mother reported a child lost and a search requiring a losg time was instigated. The result was that the child was found ina friend's car only a short distance from the place where it was re- lost If your child cannot tell its name and the name of the parents, a tag or other means of identification should by pinned to its clothing , AS 8 §0oé suggestion toward the GARS ---------------- CRASH TN UNAVOIDABLE WaY Buick and Ford Slightly Damaged at William and Mary Streets Once in a while there occurs in the city an accident which is un- avoidable, or which {is termed so.

Smith is In Service Recognition BE : Tired out but thoroughly happy the Ontario R nt hy} from Niagara on Monday night after the most successful four-day camp the unit has attended since the war. Travelling by CN.R., on Thursday evening of last week to Toronto, and from there by boat to Niagara, the unit arrived about 1.00 o'clock Fri, day morning. On board the Canada steamship Cheppewa, although a dance was in progress, the boys of the unit were not to be out dome, but made their presence known by a promenade around the decks, invad- ing the dance floor, to the amuse- ment and delight of the moonlight excursionists. Arriving at Niagara- on-the-Lake shortly after midnight the units were met by their advance parties and conducted to their lines. Little sleep was enjoyed as the first night in camp meant numerous "raids" by members of other units including a raid in force by members of the Peel and Dufferin regiment. They were also raided by an army of mosquitoes which were responsible for a "salute which while not strictly regimental, was none the less effec- tive." Training during Friday and Satur- day consisted of Company and Bat- talion manoeuvres, field work and musketry at the Rouge. While the results are not yet known, the unit has every reason to believe that the awards did not all pass from them. Saturday evening the unit were taken on an excursion to Niagara Falls to witness the illumination and everyone who saw that wonderful sight were unanimous in their expression of ap- preciation and approval, : Numerous expressions of #pprayal were given when at 9.30 am. Sunday the Bugle call sounded "No Parade" on account of rain, This was the first wet day the unit experienced and most of the day was put to good advantage making up for some of the lost sleep, although the sports program was carried out despite the wet ground, In the evenin the officers and units attended a Brigade garden party, the two bands of the Ontario and Peel and Dufferin Regi- ments supplying the music. Monday was devoted to tactical field work and a review by Major General Thacker, Chief of General staff. During the review a very pleasant event took place, when the popular "C" Com- pany commander of the Ontario Regiment, Major R. B, Smith was presented wtih the officers long ser» vice decoration, denoting 20 years, of commissioned services in the forces, Many congratulations were shower- ed by all ranks showing to some extent the feeling of comradeship and esteem in which Major "Bob" is held in the unit, by both officers and men alike, Embarking at approximately 7.00 pm, Monday evening on the S.S, Canada the unit returned, again putting it on the map by the merri- ment which was stimulated among the passengers, The atmosphere on board was a duplicate of that, which many had experienced on troop ship during the war--the ability, when the work is done, to throw all care and duties aside, and enter into a spirit of freedom and frivolity only to be found among those who have the honor to wear His Majesty's uni form. The unit on two or three occas- ions was congratulated by members of the staff on the manner in which its various stages of training were carried out. The esprit de corps which existed between all ranks of the regiment and the willingness to perform any duties which fell to the lot of the regiment to perform. Oshawa in general has reason to be proud of its militia unit, one which can acquit itself - honorably well, either in training or sports, Up to the time of this paper going to press no competition awards had been made, but in an interview today from official circles, it was learned that all ranks played the game and earned any mark of recognition which may be awarded, 4 URGES REVIVAL OF RECENT QUESTION AS TO COWAN PROPERTY "The Editor, Oshawa Daily Times, Dear Sir: Permit me to utilize some of your valuable space for publication of a few remarks on the Cowan Property. '"The Cowan Property," yester- day a live and burning subject, to- day forgotten and relegated by our city fathers to the upper shelf among other treasured archives. With all due respeets to the mem- bers of our council, whether they be guilty of sins of commission or omission, may I ask is it in the best interest of our growing com- munity that such a very important and far-delving proposition should be disposed of in this manner. Before proceeding further with the erection of the proposed police, fire, or any other civic building, I should like to see a vigorous re- vival of the matter of the purchase of the Cowan property for munieci- pal purposes and the site of these essential structures determined by 2 vote of the ratepayers. » In this way only can I congeive of the future welfare of our fair city being served by a most unself- ich and democratic. method. Winner of Pontiac Car to Be Announced Saturday Evening at 8.30 o'clock Engine is Stopped at 7 'Clock Last Evening By George Hezzelwood Af Motor Had Run at Speed in the Final With an even greater crowd than that which saw the starting of the Pontiac car last Thursday, the car to be given away free at General Motc:s picnic tomorrow was stopped last night at 7 o'clock by George Hezzelwood, secretary of th: General Motors Corporation, on its six day journey at exactly the same hour it began a week ago. Excitement and speculation ran high last night as the car sped along the last few miles of its journey, while for the last three minutes it was running, the throttle was opened wide and some real tra- velling over the treadmill was de- monstrated, Little ceremony accompanied the stopping of the car. At a minute to seven George Hezzelwood entered the car and while A. W, Bell held his watch in readiness, Mr. Hezzel- wood rea~hed for the ignition key. At exactly seven the ignition was shut off and the car came to a gradu- al stop, terminating its journey of probably somewhere between 700 and 1,400 miles. The special speedometer was then detached with the padlock and seal still intact and under the careful eyes of Mr. Hezzelwood, it was tak- en to General Motors where it was placed in a safe for the night, still unopened. Before a committee of 15 men, in- cluding the president and vice-pre- sident of the Corporation, the speed- ometer was opened and read this morning. Then followed the search for the correct guesser or the near- est guessér and not until tomorrow night at 8.30 o'clock will the winner of the car be known to the general public. : JUNE FSH CATCH SHOWS DECREASE Valued at $2,983,829 Com- pared With $3,227,866 June, 1927 Ottawa, Aug, 9.--There were 85,160,100 lbs. of fish landed on both coasts of Canada in June last, This was valued at $2,985,820, wv compared with 85,637,300 tus, valued at. $3,227,866 for the cor- responding month last year, On the Atlantic coast the catch amounted to 41,424,100 lbs, wor cod, haddock, hake and pollock an increase of more than 1,000,000 1bs, over June, 1927.

Memories of the last Warriors' Parade at the Canadian National Exhibition when Oshawa's Legion Pipe Band received such an ova- tion when passing through the Prince's Gate, will still be a pleas- ant memory to those who took part last year. The local Post are again chartering epecial busses to take a delegation from Oshawa for Warriors' Day, Saturday, Aug. 25, and are hoping to be able to form a complete company of their own on this occasion. The fact that the Legion Pipe Band paraded one of the largest companies on that first march through the Prince's Gate, speaks volumes for the popularity of our Band there, and the applause was very gratify- ing. We are hoping to parade as 2 unit this year, and with the pro- per support of the local veterans there should be no difficulty in forming a full company under K. S. M. (and now Drum Major) Wm, Cooper, our ever popular Marshall. There will be a large committee offering tickets in the chartered busses on and after Thursday, and the local Post will meet each Th until the coming Field Day. is hoped that reservations will be made as sarly as possible, as there will be limited accommo- digg Cis 82s" N.

A. N., Gurofsky of Toronto, counsel for Beaver and Craig elected on behalf of his clients to make a speedy trial of the case before a ounty Judge. . Thus ends for the local courts a sensational case which has been ad- journed four times and which now, after five witnesses for the Crown had been heard this morning, has been passed on by Magistarte Hind to a higher court. Beaver and Craig have not yet elected to plead but are witholding until all the Crown's evidence has been heard. Those to give evidnece on behalf of the Crown this morning were *Perce" Canning, Sergeant Detective Flintoff of the Oshawa police force, James Lucas of Port Perry and bro- ther of the jailer at Whitby, Detec- tive Johns of the Toronto police force and Violet Walker. P, A. Canning of Canning Bro- thers' men's furnishing store, was the first to give evidence this morning. He told the court of the extent of his loss and described the 150 suits which had been taken as of the bet- ter class and about 75 per cent blues between the sizes of 34 and 44. He also stated that he believed the robh- bers entered by a rear window at the east side of the store into the cellar and after coming through a tunnel and up the cellar stairs had open- ed the cellar door and thus gain- ed entrance, Detective Testifies Sergeant Detective Flintoff told of a visit in the company of an Oshawa man who knew Beaver paid to Lewis Beaver while he was in custody at the County Jail in Whitby, Detective Flintoff told the court that at that time the man advised Beaver to plead guilty to his charge and return the stolen goods, To this Beaver re- plied that if he turned Crown's evi- dence he could never get back into Toronto and he would rather get life than do that, James Lucas told the court of an- other visit in which Detective Johns, Violet Walker and himself had paid to Craig, at the Whitby Jail, After being warned that whatever he said may be used against him, Miss Wal. ker accused Beaver of the theft from Canning's and told him of ac- tions at that time which were of a suspicious nature. Beaver denied all this, "Do you think the girl is ly- ing?" Mr, Lucas asked Beaver at the time. "I don't think so," was the reply Lucas said Beaver made, but on being cross-examined by A. N, Gurofsky he admitted that he wasn't sure of the exact words which were used. That he had known Beaver in Tor- onto for some time and that he had cautioned him to keep away from the gang he was going with was part of the evidence given by Detective Johns of Toronto when he was called to the witness box. He also told of the visit paid Beaver at the Whitby Jail which Lucas had spoken of and bore out to a certain extent Lucas' state- ments. Girl's Fiancee Vanished The Crown's main witness how- ever, was Violet Walker, of 444 Dun- das street west, Toronto, a youn pleasant looking girl of about 2 who was to be married two days after the robbery tobk place to a third man in the group who are alleged to have committed the rob- bery. This man is still at large des- pite the urgent efforts on the part of the police to apprehend him and since it was concerning this man that Miss Walker drew the major part of her data all three, a large part of her evidence could mot be en. She told however about either the night following. or two nights fol- lowing the robbery of how she saw Beaver drive up to Craig's home which is across from her's on Dun- das street and of his going up into Craig's room and getting him out of bed. The two then came down to the street carrying a parcel with them which they added to several other pensation Board, I , bridge, workers and payment, $22.50; J. Y.

How are we ever go- ing to civilize those people!--Bor- Toda "What is the significance of the Bell Systemr Flag on your Oshawa building today?" the Times asked Manager Black of the Bell Tele- phone Company this morning. "This is the anniversary of the world's first long distance tele- phone talk," said Mr. Black. "On August 10th, 1876, Alexan- der Graham Bell arranged with the old Dominion Telegraph Company for the use of one of their circuits =m Alz0B. Brantiord to Paris, for the is Anniversa Distance of First elephone Talk ' purpose of testing his telepbone invention. The test proved highly |successful. The listeners in Paris beard quite distinctly various se- Jections of prose and poetry shout- ed into the crude instrument in Brantford, eight miles distant. They could not answer by tele- phone the replies being telegraphes back to the speakers, but the test proved the practicability of the telephone for more than merely Coa Hearing Important Evidence Heard at Preliminary Here Today parcels which were already im the car, and then set out. She stated she believed they went to Montreal and backed this up-by a picture of the three young men which had been taken in Montreal a short time laten and which she had seen. She alsq started to tell the court that her fiance, who is still at large, has told her that they were going to Montreal to get some money for the marriage and that he was carrying a gun, bug this was not allowed as evidenca against Beaver and Craig.
