PAGE THREE Canadian Trade Commissioner at Liverpool Visiting City THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1928 Completes Inspection of Business Section For Fire Hazards Fe Ci lott Bw TT) POTION OF day a Tour of Schools -- Fire Drill to Be Promoted --Cedardale, South Osh- awa, Albert Street and Rit. son Road Schools Visited This Morning Having completed his systematic inspection of the business section of the city, Fire Chiet Wesley G. Elliott began this morning on a round of the eity schools. Oshawa has an enviable record in Ontario for promptness and ordely fire drill in dts schools, and Chief El- lfott 1s doing his utmost to main- tain this standard. Of course, the base of the training lies chiefly with the teachers and principals of the institutions, but it has been "ascertained that they are giving every assistance to Chief Elliott that they can, Although the school year is not a great way advanced, it is time that fire drill in every phase should be taken up with seriousness by the staff of teachers and those who are in charge at the different schools. Organization no doubt takes considerable time: to acquire, but it is urged by the Fire Chief's department here that organization in respect to a systematic fire drill should be immediately accomplish. ed. In one or other of the eity schools, the reorganization of the staffs' made it necessary to with- hold inspection until a date in the near future. However, in the 4 schools which Chief Elliott and his assistants visited, the conditions were quite meritorious, Cedardale, South Oshawa, Albert and Ritson Road schools were included in the routine of the inspectors this morn- ing, and in each it wags found that considerable headway had heen made in regard to the bullding up of a complete fire drill system, Al- bert street school walked off with flying colors, although while In the other schools, matters are he- ing adjusted to 'suit the conditions through the re-organization pere fod and no doubt will eome up to the peak of advancement when these matters are permanently settled, The shield which is competed for every year was won last year hy Centre street school, but many of the other schools have aspirations for the shield and each will put up a serious fight for its right to se- cure it, In most cases, music fs used to keep the children in march- ing order, and no doubt gains the end. It is also understood that music of quick time would help considerably in having the school emptied sooner, thus saving two or three minutes in case there was a conflagration, SCALLOPED HAM & POTATOES Soak 1 quart sliced raw potatoes for 1 hour, Drain and dry carefully.

This, perhaps, was not very disadvantageous at the beginning, but the rapid growth of the municipalities has brought about a condition of affairs which must sooner or later be dealt with, This, to some extent, has been realized' by creation of the Essex Border Utilities Commission, which deals with a number of matters common to all the municipalities, but this commission can never to the full extent deal with the prob- lems which now exist, and which are bound to become greater in future. The only complete solu- tion in the interests of all the municipalities ig for them to en- ter into a partnership on fair and reasonable terms whereby they will become one municipality. Al- ready each municipality has lost seme advantages and {incurred some unnecessary expenditure, by remaining separate, To Retain Individuality "What I have had in view was the working out of a partnership between the five municipalities ra- ther than a merger. For this rea- son I have endeavored to provide that each municipality shall retain its own individuality, and at the same time secure all the henefits arising from a complete union, Under what I propose it is impos- ible that any one municipality will be able to dominate all the others, and if they become one I think they will find it adglsable to work 10gether for the general benefit of all. "From the best analysis I have heen able to make, I see no reason why the average tax rate of the five municipalities should he in- creased, and I think sich a rate will give sufficient revenue for the new municipality to maintain pro- per municipal services and at the same time to make some improve: ments, I believe that this also ap- plies to school rates. "It Sandwich enters Into the plan, I do not see any probability of the county huildings and court~ house being removed. In over half of the counties of Ontario the county buildings are situated in munieipalities which are not part of any county organization, "The financial position of the municipalities would be improved, as money could he borrowed at a somewhat lower rate, and the pur- chase of supplies on a larger scale would no doubt be a saving. At present some confusion is caused by more than one of the present municipalities having the same street names," ' An Alternative Proposal In the event of the proposed new municipality not being created, it is suggested that special legislation be obtained, nevertheless, author- izing formation of one police force and one fire brigade and agreement between any Essex municipalities regarding river front improvement, OWMANVILLE MISS MARGARET CLIMIE Representative Phones: Office 587; Resi dence 811, NUSIC STUDY CLUB 0 MEET OCT. 3 Rev.

BOWMANVILLE MAN IS ACQUITTED ON PERJURY CHARGE William Terry Exonerated-- Charge Must Be Proved Beyond Doubt (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, Sept, 27.--Willlam Terry, of Bowmanville, charged with perjury, was exonerated when he appeared for trial before Judge J. E. Thompson, in the county court chambers, yesterday after- noon, His Honor dismissed the case on the ground that although Terry had heen convicted in the Oshawa Police Court on a charge of being intoxicated there had been no evidence to prove that he had drunk any liquor the day of his arrest or the day previous, When first appearing in court on August 26, the defendant had pleaded not guilty to the drunk charge and had denied drinking any Intoxicat- ing beverage. Several witnesses testified that he was intoxicated but he stoutly denied taking any liquor. The case was remanded for two days to allow him to se- cure defence witnesses, but when he re-appeared in the Oshawa court he reversed his plea to that of guilty. A warrant was then issued and he was promptly placed under arrest for perjury. Bail was plac- ed at $5,000 but as this could not be secured, he was incarcerated In the ounty jail until trial yesterday. The circumstantial evidence as offered by the Crown was undoubht- edly strongly against the accused but as Judge Thompson pointed out the charge was of such serious na- ture that his guilt must be proved beyond all shadow of doubt. Al- though three officers of the Oshawa police force including Detective Sergt. Flintoff, P. C. Foreman and P. C. Spencer testified that Terry was in an intoxicated condition when arrested, not one witness had actually seen him take a drink, One witness swore that he saw a couple of bottles of heer in his home the night of his arrest and that he act- ed as though drunk. There was no medical evidence, however, available to the court. Terry was arrested on Friday night, August 24, in Oshawa, while driving through the city in a ear with an- other man. Some beer was found in the car ,but the accused denied that he had touched this. The con- stables stated that he was quite drunk when placed in the cells. When Terry appeared in the Osh- awa police court the morning fol- lowing his arrest, he was given op- portunity to make a statement af- ter evidence had been given by a detective and two constables to show that he was drunk. This could be done under oath or other- wise. Hh chose the former and flatly denied having anything to drink. He was given opportunity to retract his words but refused to do 80. He was remanded until Mon- day, but after seeking legal advice he decided to change his plea to guilty, being fined the regulation $20 and costs. The police had In- formation ' which gave them the right to indict him on the perjury {charge and being unable to raise the bail of $5,000 he was remand- ed in custody. Taking the witness stand yester- day, the accused man again reiter- ated that he had not had any li- quor the day of his arrest or the day previous. Questioned closely by Crown Attorney McGibbon, he stuck to this statement. W. H. Kennedy, defense counsel, explained that when he advised his client to plead guilty it was to al- low him to return to work as guick- ly as possible. He was surprised at the action taken by the Crown in re-arresting his client and plac- ing bail at such a high figure. Terry, he argued, had been frank and honest in the witness box and he contended that the Crown had ed no evidence to prove that his client had partaken of any in- toxicating beverage. Crown Attorney McGibbon opin- ed that the Crown had proved its case, and contended that the honor of the courts must be upheld. Immediately upon his dismissal, Terry joined his wife and family, who had been interested and anxl- ous spectators in the court room.

Tracks Removed and Area Paved (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, Sept. 28--A much needed improvement has been made on Brock strect, one block north of Dundas street, where the right-of-way of the old and forgotten Toronto and Eas- tern railway company crosses the road. For a number of years wooden planking lay along this point and the crossing was a great nuisance to traffic as it afforded many bumps and could not be navgiated at a speed beyond a crawl. Many drivers, un- aware of its presences, may have dri- ven over it at normal speed with re- sultant discomforture to themselves and particularly to occupants in the rear seat of their vehicles, Yesterday the old planking was re- moved and the Warren Paving Co. paved this areca making it level with the street, thus eliminating the an- noyance to traffic. The cost is to be borne by the railway company in accordance to an agreement made re- cently with the n council, 39 COMPLAINTS ARE HEARD AGAINST THE VOTERS' LIST (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, Sept. 28--Thirty-nine complaints against the voters' list for the municipality for the year 1928 have been r-ecived by Town Clerk John R. Frost. The major- ity of these complaints are for names which have been left off the list, chi fly because the clerk has not been duly notified.

Trade Conditions in North of England to Industries Interested in Export Trade to United Kingdom Harry A. Scott, Canadian Govern- ment 'I'rade Commissioner at Liver- pool, whose territory includes the North of England, Lancashire, North Midlands and North Wales, is here for the first time in four years to meet Canadian exporters who are in- terested in trade with the United Kingdom. Mr. Scott visited Leon Frazer at the Chamber of Commerce from where he paid business calls to the General Motors of Canada, Limited, and the Robson Leather Company, in relation to the export trade from Em- pire possessions to the Mother Coun- try, In an interesting and fluent man- ner Mr, Scott gave a description of trade conditions in the north of Eng- land. "Although the heavy industries of Great Britain have not improved to the extent hoped for so far this year, export trdde for the first six months of 1928 has shown a 3% per cent, in- crease over 1927," Mr. Scott said, "and there has been of late a cone siderable improvement in business conditions generally, The North of England, however, has not shared fully in this increased prosperity. This section is chiefly concerned with the production of textiles, iron and steel, coal, shipbuilding, and engineering, Shipbuilding and engineering are steadily regaining their former posis tion in world markets and the Brad- ford woollen industry has been ime proving its position but the coal in- dustry and the iron and steel trades have still many difficulties to over. come and the Lancashire cotton in- dustry which has been in a state of serious depression for over seven years, is still hampered through fin- ancial difficulties within the industry, in meeting foreign competition, The artificial silk industry, however, is expanding rapidly and its linking up with the cotton trade should have a significant bearing on the future prosperity of this section, Also a number of the newer industries which have expanded since the war and do not depend so much on export trade, have been busy during the past twel- ve months, Ba he North of England with some 17,000,000 of people constitutes one of the most complex and highly 'indus- trialised regions of the world, it was stated, and is responsible for well over one-third of the total trade of the United Kingdom, Being primarily an industrial area it is difficult for Canada to compete in manufactured goods but thére is an enormous de- mand for foodstuffs to feed its work. ers and for raw and semi-raw mater- ials for its industries, Canadian grain, wheat particularly, meat pros ducts, dairy products, canned goods, fresh and dried fruits and timber have already an established reputa- tion for quality, It only remains for us to maintain that quality and to increase our available suppies in ore der to keep them before the British public throughout the year. Unfor- tunately, our trade in certain food products has lately fallen off with the result that for the calendar year end- ed December 1927, our exports to the British market were valued at $409,- 551,767 as compared with $459,236,013 in 1926, a decrease of $49,084,246, In the absence of Canadian butter, Eng- lish people are using Danish and New Zealand, a shortage of cheese is supplemented from New Zealand and canned goods from the United States, although Canada's share of the latter trade has lately been in- creasing. "Liverpool, the second port of the United Kingdom, with its 37 miles of docks, is the gateway to this section of England," Mr, Scott pointed out, "and consequently has heavy direct importations of Canadian goods par- ticularly agricultugal products" It is also important in the re-export trade to British West Africa, most of the large concerns interested in this trade being located there, Can- ada's main exports to West Africa arc motorcars and to a lesser extent flour and canned 'fish, but there is room for expansion in other items such as timber, sugar, etc, "Manchester, though primarily a centre of production, is the distri- buting centre for a population of over 3,000,000 people and the Manchester Ship Canal Co. which controls its excellent port facilities is striving to increase direct trade with Canada." ' Resulting from the visit to Great Britain last year of the Honorable James Malcolm, Minister of Trade and Commerce, the Canadian Goy- ernment has recently set in motion the machinery for securing the maxi- mum of publicity for Canadian pro- ducts in the British Isles by the set- ting up of an exhibition department in England. "We are taking full ad- vantage of the space reserved by the Empire Marketing Board at the vari- ous exhibitions this year," the trade mmissioner said. "We have already participated in several of these ex- hibitions with gratifying results and in addition to foodstuffs, arrange- ments are being made at the larger industrial exhibitions for displays which will offer to Canadian manu- facturers a unique ity for in- midge wy og 4 United Kingdom. There is now also 2 Canadian Publicity Director with headquarters in London for - Eh on | dw 10d resources to the attention of the itish public. England wants Cana- ' Pays Business Calls to General Motors and Robson Leather Co. * Harry A. Scott Describes diag foodstuffs. From personal ex- perfence during the past three years I can testify to the steadily increas ing interest being taken by the Bri- tish public generally in purchasing Empire products and while it is ap= preciated that market conditions in Canada have lately made it difficult for our exporters to cater for British "requirements, I would like to empha- size that a huge potential demand exists for our products and it res mains for us to take full advantage of the opportunities afforded."
