REPRESENTATIVES IN U.S. Powers and Stone, Inc., New York and Chicago, wv -- TUESDAY, JANUARY 15, 1929 TIER THE NEW COUNCIL IN ACTION Yesterday, January 14, was an eventful day in the history of Oshawa, for once more the municipal scene shifted and a new body of men took over the reins of government. A good start was made by the incoming mayor and aldermen, auguring well for the advancement of the city during 1929. Between the hours of eleven and twelve o'clock yesterday morning, the new council was officially inaugurated. Mayor R. D. Preston called the 1928 council to order and received the official returns of the election from City Clerk Hare, and then welcomed Mayor Mitchell to the seat of the first citi- zen of Oshawa. The old council rose; the new council took its place. "At the business session last night, the 1929 council demonstrated its ability to deal with important matters with adequate con- sideration, yet in a comparatively brief space of time, adjourning at 10.30 as compared with the midnight and 12.80 adjournments that often occurred last year. All questions were given ample consideration and compre- hensive debate, yet there was an absence throughout of acrimonious discussion. This sugurs well for a harmonious relationship that, we trust, will last throughout the year. Among the vital matters considered at the first meeting was the final passing of the by- law relating to the extension of several streets in the. city. While the principle in- volved had been passed upon by the 1928 council, it was left to the new body to finally and definitely provide for these improve- ments. In the case of William street, the principle of the extension was not challenged, but the question was laid over so that the details may be more fully considered. The harbor question, vexed matter of sev- eral years of debate, also came before the new council, and its members showed their desire to have a new harbor for this city if it is at all possible to persuade the Federal Government to make the necessary grant. Other matters of importance were dealt . with, in a thoughtful yet expeditious man- ner, indicating to observant citizens that the city's business will be well transacted this year. BUSINESS WOMEN ' Lack of experience in man's world of af- fairs has been generally thought of as wo- men's most serious handicap when she en- ters into competition with man to make a living. But this liability, feminists claim, is really an asset. To be able to turn liabilities into assets is a faculty that makes for success everywhere--in peace or war, in business or in the home. The achievements already made by women §n business are attributed to her utter dis- of the fetiches of business. There is no doubt that the numbers and prestige of svomen in business is increasing and that the 'sex has a capacity for getting ahead on 2 new job. But is it also true that women are using their want of experience as a stepping- stone to higher position? In the sense that slight knowledge of busi- mess precedents frees women of the common masculine fear of doing something that "isn't done," there is some foundation for the state- ment that their untutored state may be an ° asset. There is such a thing as muscle- bound business methods, and the introduc- tion of new blood is a well recognized remedy. But isn't 2 new man coming into the or- ganization as likely as a woman to bring fresh ideas"? Women often have startlingly 4 original ideas, but the feminine cranium is not the sole repository of novelty. What of those many instances where femininity has been compelled to appeal to mere man for original ideas in gowns and millinery? Suppose, for the sake of argument; the feminist theory to be true. When the last woman had grown ultraconservative through experience, where could business go for new blood ? TESTING YOUR TEMPERAMENT You have a temperament. has. Old-fashioned folk would call it your disposition. But science is following a more modern style. So you might as well get in line and acknowledge that you, too, are carry- ing a temperament concealed somewhere about your person. Very well, then, how about getting ac- quainted with your temperament? It is the child of your moods and the grandchild of your emotions. Want to test it out? If you ' can stand living with yourself, do this for a month: y When you get up every morning, scowl at yourself in the mirror. At the end of the month, say psychologists, your facial map will resemble a sector of no man's land in rainy weather, Then start smiling at what you see in the mirror on the thirty-first day. You will perk up wonderfully, Friends will marvel at the change that's come over you. And your digestion will be better. But don't keep up the morning smile too persistently. It may degenerate into a sim- per. Having let your temperament go to both extremes, take control and regulate it. Let the balance hang just a trifle on the side of the smile, and you will be joyous without becoming chronically sanguine. IF ADVERTISING STOPPED "What would be the reaction upon the cost of living if advertising ceased and its benefi- cient force were stopped?" This question, asked by the "Fourth Estate," provides much food for rumination. It is an interesting conjecture, Advertis- ing largely takes the place of personal selling effort, which is very much more expensive. A California editor cogitating on the possi- bility of a cessation of advertising says: "It would mean that our railroad trains would be thronged wjth salesmen whose homeward bound mail would carry fewer or- ders, all of smaller volume than now. "Distribution upon the present scale would be impossible. Manufacturing would fall off, with a consequent decrease in labor demand. Jobbers would find their business propor- tionally limited. Retailers would make fewer and slower turnovers. Prices of all com- modities would take a rise that would make war prices and ante-war prices seem low. by comparison." EDITORIAL NOTES The man who is contented with his lot usually lets weeds flourish in it. When purchasing advertised goods, tell the merchant you saw it in The Times, He will be pleased to know it. It is extremely gratifying to see the Met- ropolitan Church being restored on its old site in downtown Toronto. Its associations are precious to many thousands of all deno- minations and when fire destroyed the old building a few months ago deep et was expressed by people of all creeds. Bit of Verse A THOUGHT Psalm XXXIII:13 -- "The Lord looketh from Heaven. He beholdeth all the sons of men." The Lord hath established the mighty and set him his place apart. He knoweth his sorrows and struggles, his strength and weakness of heart. The Lord taketh toll of his riches, his power of hand and brain, ~ Whether his life be of blessing. to others, or lived for his selfish gain. And the Lord hath created the poor man, and said "I was poor as thou, And know what it is to labor and live by the sweat of my brow," He seeth his needs and temptations, whether he rise or fall. The Lord God knoweth His children, and loveth them one and all, . Judgeth, and tryeth them wisely, just what each one can bear, Helpeth them in their weakness, heark'neth to every prayer. One is as dear as another, and they that walk in the night Are just as close to their Father as those whom He blesseth with light. . >--ELIZABETH CAMERON Everybody POWER BATTLE IS RAGING TODAY IN CITY OF OTTAWA Beauharnois Company's Ap- plication Comes Before the Cabinet Ottawa, Jan. 15. -- Navigation interests and rival power interests will fight the battle for control of power on the St. Lawrence today before Hon. J. C. Elliott, Minister of Public Works, whose depart- ment has before it the application of the Beauharnois Power Company for a permit to commence & pow- er development calling for an in- itial 400,000 horse power on the St. Lawrence between Lake St. Francis and Lake St. Louis. Many Companies At this hearing will be represen- tatives of the Montreal! Light, Heat and Power Company, the Beauhar- nois Power Company, and lake and river navigation companies. The Montreal Power Company and the navigation interests will oppose the Beauharnois Company's application. Apparently th cabinet has aligned itself "with the Beauharnois Com- pany, headed by F P, Jones and the permit may be granted before Par- liament meets. . The Issucs - Navigation interests will con- tend that the Beauharnois scheme will ruin the St, Lawrence as a tourist route. Montreal Light, Heat and Power Company will object to the scheme as conflicting with their vested rights and also as mak- ing the whole St. Lawrence devel- opment impossible, It is believed that there will be representatives from each of the rival companies of about 25, in- cluding many prominent engineers, financiers and shipping men, and that it will be impossible to con- clude the hearing tomorrow, Immense Undeiaking Not since the days of the trans- continental railways has a project of such magnitude been placed be- fore the Dominion anthorities for their sanction and approval, An {initial capacity of 4,000,000 horse power within three years, with an- ultimate niaximum of 2,- 000,000 horse power, is contem- plated under the scheme. In or- der to obtain the head of water es- sential for the creation of this power supply, the plan of the com- pany proposes the .construction of a 14-mile canal with a width of 4,000 feet and a depth of 27 feet between the two lakes in question, The power house would be located at Lake St. Louis where an 83 feet head would be created. The cur- rent has a velocity of one and three quarter miles per hour. The pro- ject, it is estimated, would provide employment to 2,000 persons ap- proximately for a period of three years, Promise Expansion Promoters of the scheme declare that an immense industrial expan- sion would result from the carry- ing out of the proposal. Power, they state, would be sold at $15 per horse power at the Busbars; and the scheme would not only ben- efit Montreal, twenty miles dis- tant, but provincial and national benefit would eventually accrue, Again, the sponsors of the proposal contend that the scheme would in no way interfere with the proposed St. Lawrence waterway project, and that the levels of the lakes in question would not be lowered zs a corsequence, LEAGUE OF DEATH IN RUSSIAN TOWN Eleven Young C Communists Take Their Own Lives Moscow, Jan. 14.--A fantastic fra- ternity of self-destruction--""The Lea- gue of Death"--which caused 11 young Communists to take their own lives in a flaming revival of the pes- simism of Slav literature, is report- ed at the capital from the distant town of Liesva, in the Urals. Both boys and girls were its victims. The most active members of the Liesva branch of the Communist Youth committed suicide in the or- ganized league before authorities realized that the deaths were planned and carried out on schedule, accord- ing to results of an investigation now published by the Moscow Communist Youth Pravda. Share His Doom 'The example of Sergei Yessenin, the dashing young Russian poet and husband of the late Isadora Duncan, who killed himeelf last spring, ap- parently stirred the younger boys and girls of the little town, and out of his grave seemed to have reached into the town, beckoning impression- able young Russians to share his doom. Yessenin, it will be recalled, wrote a dramatic farewell mote in his own blood before hanging him- self. The victims of the "League of Death" were accustomed to meeting for pessimistic discussions of life and poetry which glorified death.

ELECTION STOLEN COUNSEL STATES Sault Judge Finds No Evi- dence of Fraud By the Officials Sauit Ste. Marie, Ont.,, Jan, 15. -----The protest filed by Alderman Alf. Brewer against the result of the mayoralty recount which de- prived Brewer of a majority of 31 and elected Mayor Irwin by 51, ended at noon Monday with argu- ment of counsel, At fits conclusion Judge Fred Stone said: "I may say that every- thing aligns itself quite logically in my mind except this awful poll 16. I will not delay further than to say that nothing suggests any corrupt praciices cn the part of the deputy returning officers or of the pol lclerks or those engaged in the actual carrying out of the election. As to the protest, of course, the whole contest is as to whether the ballots were tampered with be- tween election night and the night of the recount. This is a definite point and one that can be satis- factorily decided, although J can- not promise that it will be satis- factory to both sides." Deprived of Seat J. A. Maclnnes, who addressed the court on behalf of Alderman Brewer, stood out for a .:clara- tion that Brewer had been "fraud- ently" deprived of his seat. Mac- Innes used the word "thief," "bal- lot switching," "ballot stealing" and "tampering," in his argument. Brewer had won fairly, he contend- ed, and it was both unfair to him to put him to the expense of an- other election and unfair to put the city to the expense also of vot- ing again. E. V. McMillan's argument on behalf of Mayor Irwin was con- fined for the most part to quoting authorities to show that the con- duct of the election was mot such oi to call for the unseating of Ir- win. . for bone BOOTH COMPANY REPORT DENIED Ottawa, Jan, 15.--Denial of a widely-circulated report that the J.

Neither the preventive service nor the inspec- tors under the Nova Scotia Tew- perance Act have any knowledge of the seizure and ic is presumed | the affair was the work of hi- jackers. A Gift It is stated from authoritative sources tbat the liquor was a gift from officers of the Dauntless to officers of the garrison, who had entertained them during their long stay in port, The military were notified of this handsome gift on the part of the Jack tars, and sent an ambul- ance to the dockyard to transport it to the barracks. The liquor was loaded aboard the ambulance and, under guard of four soldiers, left for the barracks. Mystery Enters It is at this point the story be- comes somewhat hazy. It is said that ,somewhere between the dock- yard and the barracks, the ambul- ance was held up by two men pur- porting to be temperance sleuths. The four soldiers allowed them to search the ambulance, with the re- sult that the liquor was duly "seized." Incidentally, the ambui- ance was left in front of Deputy Inspector Steve Kennedy's resid- ence for the might. ' it's Gone In the morning the deputy in- spector called the authorities and told them the military ambulance was parked in front of his resid- ence, and accordingly it was re- moved. The chief inspector under the Nova Scotia Temperance Act was notified, but he kmew nothing of the affair, and the preventive of- ficers professed equal ignorance. The upshot of the matter is that the officers of the Dauntless. It is understood that both pre- ventive and Temperance Act of- ficers are working on the affair. TOURING EUROPE "Toronto, Ont.
