a. THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, APRIL 12, 1929 i * PAGE THREE J ar ad " Water Pressure is Back Jol A = 4 ! Low Most ¢ | : i I v " of the Storm of a Week LOW AT HOSPITAL - - AND COLLEGIATE : These Institutions Had No "Water on Top Floors at ~ Times -- Residents and wy . Factories Also Were In- convenienced by the Sin ation Another evidence of the damage done by the storm of a week ago fdnight, has come to light with the §dport that Oshawa's water supply fias been running on a pressure be- low normal for the greater part of is week. This morning it was ack to normal, however, with the dial in the city engineer's office once more reading 65 pounds. The original cause of the low pressure was the failure of the elec- tric power at the pumphouse at the, Lake,. Friday night. This' meant that all Friday night and part of Saturday morning the old steam pump had to be used. not give as great a pressure as the modern electric pumps, and gradu- glly the tank on the top of the hill near thé Collegiate institute, plac- ed there for emergencies of this kind, became empty and the water pressure in the north end of the eity lowered. ' The pinch was felt principally at the hospital and Collegiate, in nei- ther of which could water be ob- tained on the top floor. Residents and factories also noticed that pressure was considerably lower than usual. Fortunately, there were ho serious fires so that the fire department did not suffer grom'a lack of proper water sup- ply. Robson Co. Situation On Saturday, the Robson Leath- or Company found on checking up on its storm damage that its dam op the Oshawa creek had been completely carried away by the flood. It also found that its tanks of reserve water supply had coy lected a large amount of dirt a silt during the storm, and had to be flushed out and refilled, This took a large amount of water, and besides the company had to use entirely city water in its manufac- tiring operations, the carrying away of the dam having removed the source of supply from the creek. This kept the pressure down sonsiderably on Saturday. .There was a temporary respite over the week-end, but on Tues day when the trains. started runn- ing, there was a double drain o% the water supply as C.P.R. and C. N. R. engines both passed over the C'N.R. tracks. Ordinarily the C.P. R. is not supplied with water at Oshawa, but in running over the C:N.R. lines they had to take coal end water at the C.N.R. stopping places. This meant an almost con- stant line up of engines waiting to take water here, and a steady in on the city's supply, which continued throughout the week. - Lake Water Muddy SAnother drain on the water sup- wag occasioned by the muddy condition of the lake water follow- 11g the storm, which has continued throughout the week. This made {necessary to backwash the filters s@yeral times a day, and each back shing, takes considerable water. #By prevailing upon the heaviest ter users in the city to curtail ir usuage of water, the situation been remedied, and it Is ex- ted that no further trouble will bé experienced: from low. pressure.

Col, F. J. Grierson is defending Przytula, who claims that he did not have the bonds. Mr. Grierson stated in court this morning that he believed it was most unusual that a case such as this should be aired in police ¢ourt so long after the alleged misde- meanor occurred. "As long as we are assured 'that it is not making the court a col- lecting agency," stated Magistrate Willis of Whitby, "there may be grounds for complaint." "We aren't as far as I' am con- cerned," remarked Crown Attorney J. A. McGibbon, who believed thee was every evidence to warrant a trial of the case in court. The case will be resumed orf Thursday, April 18. OPERATIONS MAY RESUME SATURDAY Work of Repairing Road Bed of C.P.R. Nearly Complete Co Canadian Pacific expects to re- sume operation of Montreal-Toronto trains tomorrow, according to an an- nouncement made at the headquar- ters of the railway in Montreal to- day. The line east of Oshawa has been repaired, and freight trains were run east of this city yesterday. The big washout in this district which has not yet been fully repaired, but which it is expected will be finished some time today, was located just north of Fleming's farm, about two miles west of Whitby, and this prevented passage of trains to Toronto. At first, freight trains will be ran over the line to make sure that the road bed is in good condition, and then over the week-end the passen= ger service will assume its regular schedule, The Times was ififormed. C.P.R. passenger trains have this week been: running over the CN.R. lines from Toronto to Port Hope. MAJOR SEGRAVE'S RETIREMENT IS MADE CONDITIONAL (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Cherbourg, France, April 12.-- Major H, O, Segrave, noted British speed motorist, told the Associated Press on his arrival here today that his announced retirement from racing was only on the condition that no one bettered his record of 231 miles an hour established at Daytona Beach in March.

EARTHLY PARADISE IN SOUTHERN SEAS Lord Howe Island is Gener- ous to Its 120 In- habitants London--This is a tale for the tired business man! "Pleture a beautiful island-state of 120 persons, a climate that kuows net frost or sunstroke, a common income, generously shared according to age--and only one month's work a year for adults. The island actually exists and is known as Lord Howe Island, 300 miles from the coast of New South Wales. It is vividly described by Dr. Darnell-Smith, Director of the Botanical Gardens, of Sydney, Aus- tralia, in an article in fhe "Kew Bulletin," the official publication of the Kew Botanical Gardens, London. A Beauty Spot 'Through the benevolence "of nature," writes Dr. Darnell-Smith, "these fortunate islanders are as- sured of a most comfortable exist- ence in one of the most beautiful islands in the world at a minimum expenditure of their time in earn- ing their income." The income of the island, he goes on to say, is derived wholly from the sale of the seed of the beauti~ ful Kenbia palm, a monopoly re garded as the property of the com< munity. Orders for the seed are obtained from many parts of the world through a board of control in Sydney, and after the charges have been met, the proceeds are held in trust and distributed among the islanders in regular monthly payments. age of 21, he or she alike, is allot- ted 25 shares in the seed industry. Upon reaching 31, another 25 shares is allotted. In addition, there is an allotment of 15 shares for each child under 21 years. Thus a man and wife, with four child- ren, between them can hold a total of 160 shares, which is the maxi- mum allowed one family. . Good Income On the basis of each share bring- ing in $10 a year--which is the average dividend per share---the aggregate income of this holding would therefore be $1,600 a year. Now listen!

MINSTER GIVES BRITAIN WARNING Fears of Drifting Into War With United States «Expressed Brighton, Eng.--The Rev. R. J. Campbell, 'who has just returned from America, in a lecture warned his auditors of the danger of Brit- ain drifting into war with the Un- ited States. After enumerating the many in- stances of kindly feeling toward Great Britain that he encountered in 'the United States, he said he "was dismayed at many indications of America's readiness and inten- tion to proceed to the extremities with us. There is an element which hates Britain and would welcome the idea of attacking, while another 'ement does not particularly want ar but is determined that Ameri- a1 shall replace Britain as the mis~ tress of the seas."

LEAVES MONEY T0 BUY KNICKERS FOR SCHOOLBOYS Made an Unusual Be- quest of $50,000 Bisley, Eng. --Ten thousand pounds (approximately $50,000) to' buy knickers for boys is pro- vided in the will of the Rev. Dr. John 'Gwyon, rector of Bisley for thirty-three years, who hanged himself in the old rectory just be- fore Christmas. Dr. Gwyon stipulated that none of this money should be used for any other purpose. Each lucky boy must have the words '"'Gwyon's present' written in capital letters, sewn in the lin- ing of his breeches. Sports knick- bers are not allowed and "black" boys are expressly barred from having any of Gwyon's knickers at all. A coroner's jury found the rec- tor had committed suicide while insane, The inquest on his death brought out the fact that he had many eccentricities and revealed a tragic story. For many years his congregation had been negli- person attended his church. He lived in a single room and declared on one occasion it '"'gave him the shivers" to pass the deserted rec- tory, where he eventually hanged himself, Henry A.

Man Who Hanged Himself gible and on Sundays not a,single PROPOSE NATIONAL PARK FOR SCOTLAND Area of 8,000 'Acres Cairngorms Suggested : as Site Glasgow, ---- The idea of the Cairngorms area being preserved ag a national park for Scotland aad- vocated by Professor Gregory of Glasgow University, "has led to a definite proposal, The Forestry Commission is prepared to sell to fhe nation some 8,000 acres of its land in the Cairngorms as a nu- cleus for this park. In the March issue of the Scots Magazine, a Scottish landowner, I. Erskine of Marr, says: 'I do not think the area mapped by Dr. Gregory could be bettered. The conveniency of its situation is evi- dent; its scenic and other attrac- tions are inferior to none\of a like nature that our country can of- fer. "Dr. Gregory is persuaded that his scheme would in time pay its way were it applied, 'It would add," he says, "to the income of the countrg by keeping many Bri tish tourists at home, and increas- ing the attractions of the country as a health resort for foreign visite ors.'

THEATRE IS PLAY WITH A MOST EXTRAORDINARY PLOT Is One of the Most Talked of Plays of Theatrical World Next week is to see the final production of the season by the Oshawa Little Theatre and for fit the director, John Craig, is put- ting on an interesting and extraor- dinary play. "Outward Bound," by Sutton Vane has proved to be the most talked of play of. the theatrical world and has been very popular with Little Theatre players as it has been given in several Ontario towns. Toronto saw it just recent- ly produced by a stock copany an favorably received. In putting 1t on in Oshawa Mr, Craig is living up to his reputation of producing nothing but the best. The story of the play provides the thrill that comes but once 1n an ordinary theatrical season. A strange company of shipmates, mystified by a vaguely oppressive feeling of unreality, suddenly dis- cover that every last one of them is. dead. Their ship, unmanned and without lights, is gliding across' the River Styx and when one of them asks the sole attendant whe- ther they are bound for heaven or hell, the answer is "Both! It's the same place you see." Altogether a most interesting and weird play. Some of the comments from vari- ous New York critics, when it was produced there, are inmtéresting. "The ynicked and ink-stained little critical yardsticks which we all carry to the theatre with us are of pitifully little use when 1t comes to measuring the impalpable things which make Outward Bound so stirring and so quickening an adventure. It is packed with won- der and it wrings® the heart." Alexander Woolcott, N.Y. Herald. "Touched with a most etraordin- ary imagination. Among the most interesting and moving things which has happened in the theatre while we were present."-- Heywood Bronn, N. Y. World. "A unique play full of tense moments when the playhouse rests under a breathless hush. It is the real news of the dramatic season." --E. W. Osborn, N. Y.

Watkinson, contractor of this city was sentenced to serve 7 days in jail when he was convict- ed by Magistrate Willis of Whitby for driving a car while intoxicated, Although two defense counsel re- presented the accused man, and took the time of the court from 10 o'clock until one today in an en- deavor to show Watkinson was not intoxicated on March 22, the day wag committed, evi- dence of five constables tallied so well that there seemed no other alternative in the opinion of His Worship, but to find him guilty. Joseph Mangan and T. K. Creigh- ton were retained by the accused and put np a strong argnment in the behalf of their client. It appears that the officers. dfiv- ing on Olive avenue, about 11 o'~ clock on the night of March 22, ob- served a car which arrested their attention by its peculiar anties. Pirst it went ahead about fifty feet and then backed up about fiftv feet. When the officers turned their car around and watched the ocrupant of the other automobile: they be- came suspicious and finally one of- ficer was sent to deterrsine if any- thing was the matter. This Constable Foreman did. and stated positively that when Wat- kinson stood upon the pavement. he staggered as was characteristic of one under the influence of Ili- auor, that his breath gave away the fact that he had been drinking and that he appeared to be excited. Many witnesses were called but no additional evidence offered. His Worship imposed the minimum because of the fact that it was Watkinsons's first appearance in police court.
