ublic Sc THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY AUGUST 14, 1929 J Cou Model Cars Added To The Oldsmobile Line by the General Motors of Canada Ltd. New Convertible Roadster to Be Given Its First Showing in 'Automotive Building of Canadian National Exhibi- tion PRODUCTION DEPENDS "ON PUBLIC DEMAND & New Model Has Several New Features of Body Design and Is Expected to Be Highly Popular With Mot- oring Public The addition ol 2 a new model to the Oldsmobile line of automo- biles by the General Motors of Can- ada, Limited, is announced from the office of the firm here. This new model, a convertiple roadster, is to be given its first showing at the Canadian National Exhibition, in the new automotive building. Just how soon this new model will go into production at the local plant of the General Motors of Canada depends on the reception which it is given by the motoring public . It is expected however, that it will be highly popu- lar, since it incorporates several new ideas in body design, and is a highly attractive model. * With this car the change from a roadster to a coupe or vice versa can be made quickly and easily, thanks to the simplicity of the operation. The sport lines of the Oldsmobile are emphasized by its lowness, which is obtained by placing the seat at floor fevel. The top is constructed ov three bows, the rear being five in- ches wide with rounded edges. This is a departure from the usual, and contributes to the neatness of the top when lowered, which is nine in- ches in thickness. New Windshield Design "Another departure from ordinary is the design of the windshield, which tonsists of a single unit of plate lass set in a solid brass casting rame. The windshield can be fold- ed horizontally over the cowl. The doors are equipped with plate glass windows set in steel frames, which fower into the doors when the car is used as a roadster, Handsome Fittings The front seat is upholstered in genuine tan pig-grain leather. The wvéar deck is constructed along the same lines as is the rear deck on the Oldsmobile six roadster, including the side golf compartment and the pack- age space in back of the front seat. Chromium lating is used on the ex- terior fittings, including deck guard rails, door garnish rails, weather strip channels, landau bows, window frames and windshield frame. This model and the others to be shown at the CN.E. have the smoothe 62 horsepower Oldsmobile motor, shock absorbers all round, new and improved steering gear, ad- justable steering column, full pres- sure lubrication, larger carburetor and other features which have been go popular in the new Oldsmobile six. "The front of these cars, with the heraldic crest and name plate on a 'chromium - plated bar between the headlamp stanchions, is particularly impressive. HELPING KINSMEN WITH BIG CARNIVAL Citizens Are Volunteering : Use of Cars and Trucks The following is a list of the names of Oshawa citizens who have offered the services of automobiles 'or trucks to the Kinsmen's Club for the pur- pose of transporting kiddies to and 1 Lakeview Park on Monday next. when the annual Kinsmen Kiddies' Karnival will be held. Other volun- teers are urgently needed: « A. Swartz, J. Horton, M. M. Hood, hawa Lumber Co., Oshawa Daily limes, Carew Lumber Co, Dixon Coal Co, R. J. Andison, Luke Furni- ture Co, McLaughlin Coal & Sup- plies, W. J. Trick & Co. Ltd. and Ald. Dan Douglas. ABOUT 2,000 ARE EXPECTED AT THE KIDDIES' KARNIVAL Children Still Have Oppor- tunity to Secure Tickets Already nearly 1,100 children have secured their tickets for the Kinsman's Kiddies Karnival, in the six hours that the ticket office has been open, and indications are that the attendance will crowd closely to the 2,000 mark. Much more transportation is needed by the Kinsmen, Although many citizens have offered their services to transport the children from Rotary Park to Lakeview Park and return, many more cars are needed to accomodate the swelling crowd of youngsters. Citi- zens of the city willing to use wneir cars for this purpose, are urged to communicate with C. French, of Horton & French, or T. L. Wilson, at The Oshawa Times office, at once. Looking back to a very pleasant memory of last year's Karnival, the kiddies are swarming the ticket of- fices in droves every morning be- tween 9.30 and 11.30 'o'clock, when the office in the Y.M.C.A, is open. Coupons may be clipped from the Oshawa.Daily Times, and should be properly signed by the parent or guardian before being nresented at the ticket office. If e coupon * order, tickets are issued free.

H. French, 10 Rosehill boulevard, The late Mr. French, who was in his 29th year, had been en- gaged in lumbering operations for the past five years and details of the accident have not been learned. The deceased was born in Oshawa, the son of Wm. H. French and the late Hulda French. He attended Centre street public school and has many friends and acquaintances re- siding in the city and township. He left Oshawa eight years ago and pre- vious to engaging in the lumber busi- ness was a sailor, Those surviving include his parents and four sisters, Mrs, W. . Bell, Mrs. Gladys Puckering and Mrs, Marjorie Puckering, all of Whitby, and Miss Flora French, of Oshawa. Word of his sudden death came as a severe shock to the family. If possible the body will be brought here for burial, interment to be in the Union cemetery, CITY NEWS MAKING RAPID PROGRESS Rapid progress is being made with the construction of the new techni- cal school and addition to the colleg- iate, on Simcoe street north, When completed the Oshawa Collegiate In- stitute will be well able to provide for the needs of the city. DIED OF OLD AGE What was reputed to be the old- est dog in Oshawa died on Monday at 'the age of 22 years. It was own- ed by Robert Cheeseboro, Celina street, and died of simple old age, hopping up in the air and dropping dead. The dog was of no particular breed, but was described as a "mon- grel." SECURES ANCIENT TIMEPIECE Agincourt, Aug. 13.--~With but three of its kind in existence, Alex Doherty of First Avenue, Agincourt, has secured an old grandfather's clock, made in Winchester, England, by Richard Whiting, the famous clock maker, in the year 1700. It was brought over the Atlantic in a sailing ship in 1827 and is a hand hammer- ed timepiece. NO ACTION YET No action has been taken yet by either the city or twonship to clear off the gravel which has gathered on both sides of King street at its in- tersection with Park road. Vehicles coming on to*King street scatter the gravel over the main thoroughfare so that the width of open pavement is considerably reduced thus causing a menace to traffic. ASSAULT CASE ADJOURNED Wm. Matchuk, who was arrested last Saturday on a charge of assault- ing and causing bodily harin to his wife, was remanded until August 22 when he appeared 'before Magistrate Hind in city police court this morn- ing. Bail may be arranged for Mar- chuk when Crown Attorney McGib- bon," who has been absent from the city for the past two days, returns. For the first time in several days there were no liquor cases before the court this morning and the hall was practically devoid of spectators, COMPLAINING OF DOG A complaint. has been received from Burke street residents that a dog has been raiding their garbage cans, The canine prowler apparent- ly does: his work at night and his methods, though clumsy, are quite effective. He first upsets the gar- bage can and then noses in its con- tents to find if there are any choice morsels which might tempt a dog's appetite. Naturally this system causes considerable annoyance to the owners of the garbage cans especially when they find that much of the garbage has been littered about, GIRL INJURED ' Scarboro', Aug. 13.--Mary Willis of 292 Danforth avenue sustained severe head injuries yesterday evening when she was struck by a motor car, driv- en by F.

Courtice, Dan- forth avenue, and she was taken home. The driver of the car was not held. Constable J. Brown investiga:- 'ed, DE MORTUIS By Arthur L. Salmon Write not above his grave Memorials of diffuse and flat- tering lies; Say not that he was gracious, gen- erous, brave. If thou has known him in an- other wise No'hing is asked from thee But truth--or silence, which more kind may be. He needs no gilded stone Of fond imposture or defense; discreet let not his fault be shown, But spare tc prate of fabled ex- cellence, Let there be love and truth-- But of the dead, as of the living, truth.

Several new departures smart new Oldsmobile model that in body construction are incorporat. ed in the convertible roadster. One of the pew industries which has sprung into prominence in- the last few years, having come to the front at a great rate, is the fur farming industry. While it was first established in the United States, oth- er industries have rapidly taken it up, and Canada, offering such won- derful possibilities for it, was not far behind. Millions of dollars are being invested in this industry throughout the Dominion. The Hudson Bay Com- pany is reported as investing $1,000,- 000 in silver fox farming and $2,000,- 000 in muskrat farming. According to a report by the National Muskrat Breeders' Association, there was an unfilled demand for 20,000,000 musk- rats last year, in spite of the fact that hundreds of muskrat farms have started in each of the 'provinces. It will be of interest fo the people of Oshawa to know that a group of Oshawa citizens has been able to see the possibilities of the muskrat, and has started a fur farm near Oshawa. This farm is situated on the lake a- bout a mile east of Lakeview Paik, and consists of about 350 acres of natural muskrat marsh, Known as the Lakeview Fur Farms, it is considered one of the finest natural muskrat farms in Canada, and. contains an abundance of natural muskrat. food, so that the animals are practically self-sustaining. Many Wild Animals Besides the wild rats which are domesticated on the farm, the comp- any has purchased a large number Muskrat Industry Is Being Developed on Large Scale At Lakeview Muskrat Farm of ranch-bred muskrats. The marsh contains a large body of water, which abounds in fish and wild fowl. It is a favorite haunt of wild ducks and geese, and in fact is adapted to all kinds of fur farming. At present, the company has a large and var- ied collection on hand. Besides the rats, there is a large numbero f Chin- chilla rabbits, a large number of tame and wild ducks, Muscovy ducks, geese, different varieties of swans and pheasants, and 'at present one coun. More will be added later, but these make a delightful sight, and the cit- izens are cordially invited to visit the farm and see it for themselves. Prolific Breeders There are some decidedly interest- ing sights to be seen at the Lake- view Fur Farm. The muskrats are very prolific breeders, there being at present one animal with a brood of ten little ones, They are reported as breeding three to five times a year, with from five to fifteen in each lit- ter. The young muskrats breed at from three to four months old, so that the possibilities for rapid in- crease are tremendous, and indicate that the industry has every hope of being a profitable one. The Co. is at present offering a small block of stock for sale, so as to raise funds for equipment and extra stock, and to fence the entire property. It is the intention of the company to fence the entire farm this fall, and when this is done it will have one of the finest fur farms in Canada. The tourist traffic now seems to be in full swing and each day sees a new influx of tourists on the highway leading through the city. The majority of such 'cars bear American licenses indicating that there are a large number from across the border who are spend- ing their holidays in Canada. A large percentage of these vis- itors manage to stop off here even if their stay be but for a few inin- utes. They find in Oshawa good hotels and restaurants and stores which are quite capable of eatering to their needs. Local merchants are aware of the value of the tourist trafic and the displays in many windows are caluculated to attract their attention. Good values are offered and no complaint has ever been made by anyone that local tradesmen ever attempted to take advantage of the tourist. Many Tourist Homes The number of stopping places on the highway where one may be provided with bed and breakfast has increased noticeably during the past year, in keeping with the growth of the tourist traffic. 'This may well be illustrated by the fact that whereas in 1928 there was Tourist Traffic Influx Finds Merchants and Some Citizens Reaping Harvest one tourist home on King street, from Park Road west to Gibbon street, there are four such places in, operation now. A number of motor travellers, of course, prefer to remain at a hotel for the night, while still others choose to camp, and in this connec- tion it might be noted thas tne camping site. at Lakeview Park has proved very popular during the past few months. Little Difficulty Although many visitors to the city are unfamiliar with traffic reg- ulations here, the police have ex- perienced little difficulty with them. The majority are anxious to conform to the rules and pay strict attention to stop signs and trafic signals. The- police state that there are very few cases of speeding where tourists are con- cerned. Information concerning the city and district may be secured at any time through the Chamber of Com- merce office situated ®in the Alger Block, King street east. For the purpose of accommodating tourists this office will be kept open on Saturday afternoons for the. bal- ance of the season. - Latest Financial News Market Summery by Canadian Press Toronto snd New York Stock Quotations Swpphled : Stoble, Forlong oid and Ce.

McLEESE SPEAKS OF NEWCASTLE FIRM'S MOVE Had Decided to Come Here, But Delay of Council - Held up Deal "The J. Anderson Smith Co. of Newcastle moved to Toronto instead of Oshawa as a direct result of the protracted delay of the Oshawa city council in taking action on the in- dustrial area question," said Alder- man A. L. McLeese in an interview with The Times today. Mr. McLeese said that this comi- pany had been negotiating with the industrial committee of the council and with the industrial commission- er since January, and had visited Oshawa repeatedly, They desired the Oshawa Industrial Foundation, Ltd. to build them a factory building, which this company could not do until the council had purchased an indus- trial area on which the building could be erected. Decided on Oshawa "The company had decided to come to Oshawa, despite efforts of Toronto and Niagara Falls to secure it," Mr. McLeese said. "But they wanted prompt action. If we had acted even as late as June 15, they would have had a factory containing 10,000 square feet of floor space up and in oper- ation now, but since they could not secure a building here and the Osh- awa Industrial Foundation was un- able to build one for them, the city not having purchased a site, they bought a factory building in Toronto and are now moving to that city." Wanted Acre of Land The company would have purchas- ed one acre of land in the southern part of the Conant property on Sim- coe street, now under option by the city as an industrial area, While their first unit would only be a compara- tively small factory, they had plans for expansion, the alderman said, The company manufactured silverware cabinets and cases, and 'intended to expand their line to manufacture -pa- perboard boxes, which 'would. have been an entirely new industry in this city and would have meant a some- what additional diversification of in- dustry here. They would have em- ployed about 50 men to start, METHODICAL MADNESS "I think we should take a walk doon the toon an' see the shops, lassie," said an Aberdonian to his wife.

CAUSE OF BLAZE COMPLETE MYSTERY Volunteer Brigade Tried to Subdue Flames But School Appeared Doomed, So call for Aid Was Sent to Osh- awa Fire Department dA ew ---- The prompt assistance of the city fire brigade saved destruction of the Courtice Public School by fire early this morning. The blaze was diss covered in the basement and no doubt it would have spread through the entire building had not the local fire department responded to the call for assistance. The fire was noticed by an ems ploye of a service station located near by whose attention was drawn to what scemed to be an illumination in the school basement. He imme- diately alarmed mneighors and an effort was made to subdue the flames by a volunteer bucket brigade. telephone call was also sent to Osh- awa as it was readily seen that 'the school, a substantial brick structure might burn down unless help was received. The local department got permis- sion from the proper authorities and made the run to Courtice in 2 few minutes. The firemen soon had the situation in control and succeeded in confining the blaze to the basement, Damage is estimated at $300, No explanation can be given as to the origin of the fire as the schoel has been closed up for the past six weeks during the summer vacation, CARS IN COLLISION ON THE HIGHWAY NORTH OF WHITBY Two Machines Went Into the Ditch After Colliding i" A An unusual accident occurred om the Whitby-Lindsay highway between Whitby and Brooklin "this morning when two cars ¢rashed into the ditch on the east side of the road as the result of alleged mistaken judgment on the part of W. Pyman, 67 Green- wood Ave., driver of one of the cars, Floyd Jones, of Brooklin, in chdrge of the other machine, was travelling north on the highway when it is al- leged that Pyman attempted to pass him.
