Geo. S. Henry, acting premier of the province. Projects, which the city council is consid- ering to provide work for the job- less, were discussed and the act- ing premier pointed out the un- dertakings in which the govern- ment might consider offering as- sistance. Interviewed by The Times this morning, Mayor T. B. Mitchell. who was a member of the deputa- tion, emphasized the fact that everyone was convinced that the council has been wise in not going ahead with any rash expenditure of money without first consulting Some municipalities, he said, have found out to their sorrow that they have started projects for the relief of the unemployed for which gov- ernment assistance will not be given. \"We met the Hon. Geo. S. Henry yesterday afternoon," Mayor Mit- chell said, "an? had an interview with him ldsting an hour.

Mr. Henry'seemed to already have a [air knowledge of conditions in Oshawa. He laid down certain rules to guide us in securing grants for relief work. "We have to apply through Mr. Ellis, of the Municipal Railway Board," His Worship explained. "We presented to him a report of the work the city is able to un- dertake as relief work, and they report back at an early date the work upon which grants will be allowed. No grants will be allowed on work started before the board has passed on the report. Direct relief is retroactive from Sept. 26 and up to March 26th, 1931, That is, if the fund lasts until then. The municipality has. to make applica- tion to the Province if it expects to participate in the fund, ang also allow the province to inspect its hooks. "The Council will meet in com* mittee of the whole tonight to pre- pare its report for presentation to Mr. Ellis, chairman, and until that report is presented I would rather not give any details about the kind of. work we expect to under- take. Some municipalities have already started on some form of relief work, only to find they have started something on which grants will not be given, or that the gov- ernment will not make grants on any money. spent on public works before the date on which it has been approved. "A great deal of pressure, and considerable criticism has been directed toward the City' Council by the unemployed, and also by the local press or its inactivity in starting relief work. We have stood by our guns throughout this criticism, and it is no little satis- faction today to know that we have made no mistakes, that we have not allowed ourselves to be stampeeded into some foolish ex- penditure, and that we are as far advanced in this matter as any other city in the province."

While it is impossible, according to. responsible officials, to estimate the probable loss due to adverse weather, it isMcertain damage will be considerable. Much of the delay has been reported in areas where crop stands were heavy and quite promising. Sprouting and matting of wheat, noted In some areas, will probably prevent a number of far- mers from threshing the late grain: and the low vrice---less than half of last year's rates--will be a fur- ther deterrent. Export Prospects Good. Export. figures for the last two 'months, comparing with those of 1928 and far higher than those of 1929, are quoted by Mr. Ursell in his report of grain movement for September as pointing to improved prospect of moving wheat overseas. More than 85 per cent. of the 1,700 samples of wheat this season inspected to' date by wheat pool labroratories has graded No. 1 hard LEGION HELD ITS OPENING SOCIAL INROTARY HALL LARGE GATHERING OF WAR VETERANS AS- SEMBLED Financial Value of Local Work of Canadian Legion Is Stressed Rotary Hall was filled to capacity last night, when the Oshawa Branch of the Canadian Legion held its first winter social of the 1930-1931 season, under the auspices of the executive committee, and entertained between Oshawa, but of neighbouring points. The gathering included a party of some 'twenty-five members of the Bowmanville Branch of the Legion, and they, too, enjoyed to the full the good fellowship of the occasion, and received inspiration from the enthus- jasm of their Oshawa comrades. Following an impromptu sing-sony the program arranged by the execu- tive was presented, under the chair- manship of the Rev. 'E. Harston, padre of the branch, who, in a brief opening address, testified to the use- ful work being done in the commun ity by the Canadian Legion. The program presented was of a varied character, the artists taking part being Bob Gibbie, George Smith, A. H. Power, J. T. Dalby, and J. Hudson, Their efforts were warm- ly appreciated, and the comrades pre- sent were generous in their applause. Speeches by President R. M. Cot- ton, of Bowmanville Branch, Vice- President, W. J. Hoar, of Bowman- ville Branch, and M. McIntyre Hpod, were other features of the pro- ram. Comrade Hood gave a color- ul picture of the work which has been done by the Legion in Oshawa, in the last eighteen months, particu- larly in the relieving of distress by successfully fighting pension and compensation claims on behalf of dis- ablgg veterans, widows and children in fhe community, thus relieving the city of a considerable burden which would otherwise have had to be met by reliet payments. In that period, a sum of close to $15000 has been secured for local families through Legion efforts, and he urged that this work alone made it worth while for every ex-service man to become a member of the Legion. He outlined the plans for Legion activity during the coming winter, and extended a warm invitation to all those who had not yet joined the Legion to do so George Walsh, president of the Oshawa Branch, also spoke, and im- pressed on the veterans present the necessity of extending the helping hand to each other during their times of trouble and distress. At the close of the program re- freshments were served and an hour of social fellowship was enjoyed, many' of the comrades joining in a card party for the remainder of the evening. . ing to a wheat pool eport released last night. The statement indicat- ed that top grades of the new wheat are of excellent quality, according to milling, baking and protein tests.

WHAT CANADIAN PROSPERITY WEEK STANDS FOR Canadian Prosperity Week is a week which is set aside from the eleventh to the eighteen of October by the business men of Canada to, if possible, stimul®e business throughout the Dominion, In view of their foresight, they have launched a vigorous advertis- ing campaign, and are asking the Prize Winners in Prosperity Week Contests Are Announced their hearty co-operation to this movement, ~ The ' natural resources of this country are beyond criticism be- cause Canada to-day holds within its grasp, the great natural wealth of the world. ,In order to demonstrate this fact, we have only to look west of us to one of the greatest wheat producing areas of the world, namely, the western provinces, The land in this section being especially adapted for this industry, has won for itself not only fame as one of the greatest wheat producing areas of the world, but for producing a grade of wheat which is not parall- eled, within the length and breadth of the globe. Mining also plays sost impor- tant part in the prosperity of our fair Dominion. In northern On- tario, we find the richest deposits of nickel to be found any place in th% world, not to speak of her enormous wealth in other mineral products. Our forests areyet in a primeval condition and well may it be said that within them lies the promise of another great industry, namely, lumbering. Canada today controls and oper- ates the largest national system of railways in the world which spans from coast to coast, thereby linking the products of the west with the excellent shipping facilities afford- ed through the ports of the eastern provinces, namely, St. John, Mont- real and Halifax. Again we have a great fruit pro- ducing district, within our Domin- jon so much so, that the Niagara Peninsula has been well named the "Fruit Belt" of Ontario. Manufacturing in the central provinces of Canada have been so well developed that the products of Canada are known in the four corners of the earth. In view of these considerations of national wealh the only stone, which remains unturned to stimul- ate the business of this Dominion, is the acquiring of faith in the prosperity of the Dominion, by the people, who are within it and who have great wealth at their disposal, These can aid by spending their money to keep our Dominion in a place second to none among the commonwealth of nations. Further- more, if the far-sighted business men of this country are devoting their time and energy to so great a project, should not the general public of this Dominion lend their earnest co-operation? By talking prosperity and feeling prosperity themselves they can strengthen the faith of others in the financial stability of their ever great Dominion. (Written by Jerome Hickey, age 13, Senior 4th class, St. Gregory people of the Dominion to lend School.) "The time has come for action." these words Premier Bennett sounded the keynote of the Im- perial Economi¢ Conference at London yesterday. These are the words which The Times passes on to its readers in its appeal to them to strain every effort to "Give an Unemployed Oshawa Man a Job." "The time his come for action." Talking about it, thinking about it, will not help to feed the fami- les of the men who are now out of work.

ALLEGED LIQUOR RUNNER IS FINED HEAVILY AT WHITBY Paul Cornet Pleaded Guilty to Two Charges appeared in Police Court in Whitby yesterday afternoon to answer to two serious charges arising out of his arrest by Provincial constables on the Kingston Highway west of Whitby. Cornet pleaded guilty to baving liquor in an illegal place and was fined $1,000. On a second charge of & breach of the revenue act he was also fined $500. Cornet' was taken into custody after he had abandoned the car, in which he was driving when the car had been stopped by provincial constables who had received a tip that a car loaded with liquor was on the highway headed in the di- rection of Oshawa. The officers took up their position near the' town line of Whitby and Pickering townships to wait for the car. As they were waiting a large sedan entered the ditch and was badly wrecked. The car in which Cornet was riding approached from the west and tried to pass the scene of the accident but was "ccognized by the police who gave chase. Evid- ently seeing that they could not escape, the occupants of the car stopped and attempted to flee across the fields. Traffic Officer John Kay, who was following tried to make Cornet stop by firing into the air. His shot however hit Cor- net and he had to be taken to Osh- awa Hospital. A large quantity of alcohol was found in the car by the officers and the charges were laid as a result, WHAT OTHERS SAY ALD. MacDONALD'S RESIGNA- + TION Oshawa, Oct. 9, 1030. Editor Times, Dear Sir: Alderman Peter MacDonald's resignation of the chairmanship of the Finance Committee of the City of Oshawa, and his justly right- eous "indignation" at not being named as a member of the dele- gation to visit the Government at Toronto, may not be understood by everybody without some little explanation. Peter's 'indignation at the stupidity of the council was aroused really at their deter- mination in going all the way to Toronto, when they should have stopped off at Dunbarton, where a few final touches of the "Moore Program" from its author, would have completely solved the unem- ployment situation, at the very minimum of cost. 1 rather sympathise with Peter --his faith in the "Program" should have a chance to function. Yours truly, T. E, KAISER. UNDERGROUND TUBES TO TRANSPORT MAIL Washington.--Shooting cans of mail through underground tubes from airport to postoffice is the proposal of four congressmen for speeding up the air mail Awaiting action In, the session be- ginning in December are four house bills which would provide systems of pneumatic tubes to replace motor trucks which often must weave through miles of heavy traffic. The postoffice department, however, has withheld backing of the underground carriers until airports and air mail service are more permanent.

REIN LOCAL STORE YESTERDAY Cigarette Butt Thought To Have Caused Blaze at Leader Outfitters A fire, which broke out in the Leader Outfitters on Simcoe street south shortly after four o'clock yesterday afternoon, caused damage amounting to about $100. Mrs. Dime, the proprietress, told The Times that she was in the rear of the store fitting a customer with shoes, shortly before the fire occur- red. After the customer left the store she returned to the front and was busy when all at once she no- ticed flames shooting up from a box containing children's caps with celluloid visors. It'is thought that the fire origin- ated through the careless disposal of a cigarette butt by a' customer. The damage to the stock was chief- ly due to smoke and water as the burning box was carried to the street before the fire had a chance to spread. TRAVELLING DOLLAR A traveling dollar bill, to show just how money can be circulated, is to be one of the interesting fea- tures of the Prosperity Week cam- paign to be conducted next week by the merchants and business men of Oshawa. A brand new dollar bill will be placed in circulation on Saturday morning at nine o'clock Attached to it will be several sheets of paper of the same size as the bill, and every person receiving it is requested to place his or her name on the sheet of paper, and to spend it as quickly as possible. The travelling dollar bill is intended to be kept in Oshawa, and every time it is spent it will profit some one, and help to give work to the un- employed. The person who has possession of the dollar bill at 5 p.m. daily is requested to telephone to No. 1011, so that a record can be kept of its travels, and of the number of times it has been placed in circuation, A running story of the dollar's travels will be given each day in The Oshawa Daily Times, bringing to public notice the number of times it has changed hands. Each time it changes hands a profit is made, and the replacement of the commodities purchased by its buy- ing power must create additional employment. By the end of the week a compilation of the work done by this dollar bill will stress the fact that prosperity can be circulation. NEW ORGANIZATION OF RATEPAYERS IN SOUTH EAST WARD Ratepayers of the South East Ward at a well attended meeting last evening formed yet another Ratepayers Association in the City of Oshawa. The officers elected were: President, Mr. J. Hamilton; Vice President, W. Aylesworth; Secretary, Fred Cooper; Executive Committee, Chairman, E. Bathe, J. R. Barrett, J. E. C. Hannah, Robt. Moon, W.

Glaspell & Son Win Money Prizes With Cotswolds Messts. W. Glaspell and Son, of TR. No. 1, Oshawa, have had an- other successful year with their, now well known, Cotswold sheep. They have shown their sheep at nearly all the large shows in the United States, carrying off most of the first prizes. The two' outstanding sheep shows in the United States are those held by the Ohio State Fair at Co- lumbus, Ohio, and the . Michigan State Fair, at Detroit, Mich. The Columbus Fair is the premier sheep fair of the world. To give one an idea of the prizes carried off by Messrs. Glaspell and Son, at the various United States shows, their awards at the Colum- bus, Qhio, Fair were as follows: Aged ram, first and fourth; year ling ram, first and fourth; ram lamb, second; aged ewe, first and fifth; yearling ewe, third; ewe lamb, 'sec- ond ; champion ram, reserved cwe cx- hibitor's flock, first; pen of year- lings, breeder's young 'flock, second; "est breeder's exhibit, a banner.

D. Conant Presides as Chair- man ENCOURAGING TALK BY D. F. JOHNSTON Urges Closer Co-operation Among Merchants -- Many Expressions of Opinion Given - Co-operation and the co-ordina- tion of effort for mutual good, was the keynote which was stressed at an enthusiastic banquet of mer- chants, held in the Genosha Hotel dining room, last night, under the auspices of the Chamber of Com-~ merce, The banquet was in effect the opening shot in the Prosperity Week campaign and if the opti= mism, determination and enter~ prise, which were displayed last night, may be regarded as a true criterion, the success of Prosperity Week is already assured. After having dined upon a sump+ tuous repast, the merchants were welcomed by G. D. Conant, presi- dent of the Chamber of Commerce, who pointed out that it was the' constant desire of the chamber co-operate with the retailers of the city and to assist them wherever possible. The purpose of Prosper« ity Week, he considered, was to ine spire confidence in the buying pub- lic, confidence in the fundamental soundness of conditions in the city and the country at large. Refer- ring to the marketing of Canada's, $100,000,000 bond {issue in New York, at a rate which would insure the investor 4.28 per cent, on his money, he stated that this was in- dication of the fa¢t that there was plenty of money available. He was covinced that there was an abun- dance of money in Canada and in Oshawa. It was at all times busy (Continued on Page 10) PROSPERITY WEEK 10 BE USHERED IN 9 A.M. TOMORROW Whistles and Bells Will An« nounce Arrival of Im- portant Event With the ringing of bells and the sounding of factory whistles Pros- perity Week will be ushered into Oshawa, at nine o'clock tomorrow morning commencing, it is hoped, a new era of prosperity for the city. This week's celebrations will be Dominion wide and in many other cities like celebrations to those in this city will commence tomorrow. Over seventy local business men, the Chamber of Commerce, the city council and the Dominion Govern- ment are behind the project the object of which is to get money into circulation and thereby stimu- late industry. Yesterday's Special Edition of The Times gave citizens an idea of what has been done by the various committees in charge .of the ar- rangements and the official program gave an insight into the many spe- cial features which are to make: Prosperity Week in Oshawa a long remembered event. During the week new features will be added to the program and these will be announced daily in The Times. Those stores in which are posted the little yellow posters are those which are co-operating to make this event successful. They are the progressive merchants who are plan- ning to start Oshawa once again on the "Highroad to Prosperity.' The features of the week are too numerous to enumerate but amos the high lights will be pron stunts each day during the nm hour, an automobile show every day, a radio show every day, a special shopping day on which mer- chants will present to the public bargains which may never be Te= peated and a farmers' day on which special efforts will be made to give the farmers a worthwhile visit to the city. Other attractions include band concerts, horseshoe pit: 5 contests, sporting events, special at- tractions at the theatres and school children's contests. During the week others will be, added to the already fine program, All that remains to make the week an outstanding suc- cess is the co-operation of the pub- lic in taking advantage of the mer chants faith in a turn to prosperity and spending freely in an endeavour to speed up the wheels of industry.
