THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1928 PAGE THREE Three Cornered Fight For Mayoralty Looms as Install Big Condenser to Regulate Supply of Current to City Hydro Commission Seeks to Maintain Power at Stan- dard Voltage -- Old Con- denser Entirely Inadequate to Handle Power Demand Here--Even Flow of Cur- rent Without Fluctuation Will Be Provided To regulate the supply of elec tricity to thig city and to prevent the drop in voltage occasioned when the power demand is greatest, the Hydro Electrical Power Commission are installing at the Oshawa sub-station a large synchronous condenser, This condenser has a capaci) of 5000 k.v.a. (kilo-volt-amperes) and will replace the present con- denser unit with a eapacity of 1,200 k.,v.a., which has become totally inadequate to handle the power demand here. The conden- ser functions as a voltage regunla- tor, keeping the power supply al- ways at the standard voltage. At present during the daytime when the demand for power is greatest, the voltage drops and electrical equipment will not function at its best in either factories or homes, and during the night when the when the power demand is light, the voltage is sometimes too high, which is hard on the equipment through which it passes. For lh, stance, late at night electric lamps are sometimes observed to burn much more brightly than earlier in the evening, owing to the high- er voltage. The condenser equipment Win prevert both the drop in voltage during the daytime and the ex- cess voltage at night, both of which are equally undesirable. An even flow of current, without fluc- | Good WilL"" tuation, will be provided. The new equipment will also eliminate occurranges like that of yesterday morning when, owing to the neces- sity of cutting out for repair pur- | poses one of the two lines supply-, ing power to the city, the voltare dropped so low that electrica® equipment in a large part of the city failed to function . CHICAGO WANTS 10,000 BABIES Chicago, Dec. failed to fill the bill in Chicago. He fell short in at least one impor- tant respect, for mearly 10,00: couples petitioned for = babies to adopt and failed to get them. The demand for babies always reaches its peak at Christmas, the Illinois children's home ana socr- ety, which placed more than 5,000 children in homes last year, was besieged by 5,200 would-be foster parents in the last two weeks, pleading for a baby to adopt for Christmas, * KIWANIANS WILL BE DADDIES TO FATHERLESS LADS Rev. Ernest Harston Speaks on Fostering Goodwill at Weekly Meeting Kiwanians in the city will short- ly become '"Kwanis Daddies" to twenty fatherless boys of Oshawa, when plans are worked out follow~ ing the lines of the report of a special committee received today At first, two Kiwanians will be assigned as '*Daddies" to each boy, and will be required to call at hig home and see conditions there at jeast once a month and report to the club. The boy will also call at the Kiwanian's office every Satur- day morning for a short in.erview, This action will probably be tol- lowed up in time by having each Kiwanian take one boy as his pro- tege, thus making forty or more fatherless bors that will be cared for by members of the Kiwanis Club of Oshawa, In presenting the report of the committee assigned to consider this phase of the Ki- wanis program, Kiwanian Harry Lecky, at the meeting today, point- ed out that, because of the work that Kiwanis is doing for under- privileged boys om this continent, there is an international respect for the organization, Good Will The speaker at today's noon luncheon meeting at Welsh's Par- lors was Rev, Ernest Hars.on, of this city, who spoke on "Fostering "Every one of the many types of people in the worla is misunderstood and misrepre sented in some way," said Rev. Mr. Harston, "and this fact is one of the outstanding difficulties in fos- ering gocd will among the nations of the earth. Differences in reli- gion and racial prejudices are other real difficulties, It must be realy ized, however, that there is no finer task than the creation of a feeling of goodwill, and that world reia- tionships have their beginnings in individual relationships. By mas- i tering the art of team-play and co 28.--Santa Claus | operation, and by the use of wcom- mon sense in. our dealings, the spirit of good will will grow in our communities and spread, until in time war would be impossible." Charter Night Plans During the business pari of the meeting, further plans were laid for the Charter Night of the Ki wanis Club of Oshawa, on January 16, and Kiwanians Ewart Everson J. Norval Wilson, W. E. Davis and Roy Fuller were appointed to or ganize the members of the club into committees, WEATHERMAN L < < L k The year is drawing to a close And New Year's day is drawing nigh-- . Let's all be merry in the thought We have no presents now to buy. * ® x Three more days of good old 1928, ! Then the horns and whistles will blow, the guns will be fired and from the massive domes that house the city clocks will peal out the sonorous midnight hour, It won't be long now until we'll be writing 1928 when we should be writing 1929, New Year's has Christmas fad- ed off the map as a joyous sea- son, because there are no presents to buy and no worries of 'so many shopping days till----m----" Buying presents certainly takes the joy out of life and the back- hone out of the pocket book. Of course these fellows 'who have been buying stocks like Inter Costal Neuralgia and New Moma and Santa Claus oil are all to the merry, but most folks have been buying coal stocks only to see them go down immediately after, One Scotchman who priced a thermometer today, said he'd wait a while, because it would likely go down pretty soon, One Oshawa woman whose hus- band has made a lot of money in stocks was asked what his income was, and she said: "Usually about 3 in the morning." The threatened rain didn't ma- terialize and now the wind is from the west and cooler weather is.on the way, Some snow flurries will conre and the ozonic air will clear the flue laden atmosphere and check the mild epidemic at present exist- ing in all parts of America. A three-cornered contest for the pmayoralty, seemed assured with an ex-mayor turning the "trick." So live that if you enter politics You cannot be accused of more than six Or eight real murders, arsons pub- lic steals bribe-inspired aid for shady deals, For if they can't charge worse than that, it's sure Your record must be absolutely pure. Great ructions at an Oshawa home last night when the baby girl discovered her big doll was without clothes--Big sister worn them to the dance. Meanwhile--Cooler, Westerly winds and clearing. The spring-like weather is past for the time being, The next big meteorlogical ev- ent will be the January thaw. And PILOT HONORED Washington, D.C, Dec. 27--Award Carl B.

No explanations were given as to the reason for infringing on the law, When in court on former charges, the status were made per- fectly plain go the owners of the houses, Seizures were made at the homes of Ignatus Kupi, 634 Osh- awa street, and John Cebulski, 594 Front street.

The father came to the police a short time ago with the information against his son, and today told a straightforw=rd story concerning the incid ®s which took place at the home of the foyxmer. Wife's Return Mrs. Duffield, who a short time ago was the cause of her hushand's appearance in police court on a charge of assault, had again gone back to "her former residence, which is legally the property or her husband, after being told by the court to stay away from ft. Frederick Duffield was inclined to eject her from the house when she put in an appearance there, but met with the son who, the fath- er claimed, struck him. Whether a charge will be laid against Mrs. Duffield or not, the police have not yet decided, although it seems clear that she returned to the home after the law had forbidden ! her to do so. A Warning "This sort of thing has got to stop," stated Maigstrate Hind to, the father and son, for the mothe. "ad not appeared in court, even as . witness in the boy's behalf. The -agistrate scored both members of ie family for causing so much rouble within the family circle and 1so for having police interference io often. "It shouldn't be neces- ary for our department to be run- ting to your place so often over squabbles which should not exist, and which won't exist if I have anything to do with it,' said the magistrate. James Duffield was also bound over to keep the peace for one year. SPECIAL MEETING OF FRENCH CABINET Hostility Shown to Deputies of Chamber for In- creasing Salaries St. Etienne, France, Dec. 28.-- Coal miners in the region of the Loire fields have declared a strike effective unless the owners meet thir demands for higher wages. Mean.ime President Pigeot of the committee of Loire Mines, speaking on behalf of the owners, explained to the miners the diffi- culty of increasing wages was due to the general over-production of coal in Europe, resulting in lower: prices. Foreign coal, he added, also was cheaper, and therefore finds a readier market. Pigeot said he was confident the Loire strike was mot a result of | repercussions from other coal re- | sions of Fra. ce, Too Late to Classify WAITRESS WANTED. MUST have experience.

(150b) IMPROVEMENTS AT POST OFFICE ARE ABOUT COMPLETED Promptly and Efficiently Are Increased Improvements which have been carried on at the gucal post office and customs department building during the last two months have now been practically completed. Elevator service at the post office has now been established, and in coming mails are faken upstairs instead of the first floor to be sorted. This greatly facilitates the handling of incoming mails and provides better accomodation for the mail carriers to get their mails in order. The elevator is situated in the southeast corner of the building, where the customs door formerly stood. This latter the erection of the elevator. ime Saved A door to replace this has heen cut into the east side of the wall directly around the corner from the former one. By this means mails are brought into the building through this new door, loaded on trucks and taken upstairs where they are sorted. Much time is sav- ed through this operation and the space downstairs which formerly was crowded following a shipment of mail into the building is now left free for other purposes re- quiring additional space. Customs The customs building which has gone ahead at a great pace has now been opened for business again. The mew second storey is another aid towards increased space, and the addition of this storey is one more step in the direction of more satisfactory service in the customs organization.
