Tresidder, representative. TUESDAY, JANUARY 6th, 1931 THE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS day's municipal elections in Oshawa ovided ld than the usual number of rises. First of all, perhaps, was the surprisingly large number of votes polled, the votes cast for the three mayoralty can- didates totalling 5,395, or close to fifty per vent of the possible vote. While this pro- on is still far below what it ought to be, yet it is very satisfactory in comparison with the vote cast in the last mayoralty con- test, in 1929, when about 36 per cent of the electors went to the polls. Another sur- prise, too, was the success of so many new- comers to municipal life, and as a result, there will be seven new men out of a council of fifteen sitting around the table during 1931. This is a generous injection of new blood, and it also shows that the electors were desirous of making some changes in their representation on the council. ose observers of the mayoralty situation -- not greatly surprised by the election of Ernie Marks as mayor in a three-cornered contest. They were not prepared, however, for the overwhelming vote which he was given in comparison with his opponents. In securing a majority of 101 over the com- bined votes of George Hart and Eddie Mc- Donald, he secured a victory that was de- cisive, and was proof of his own personal popularity with the citizens of Oshawa. Large-hearted and generous, and with a 'genial personality of the kind that 'makes friends among all classes of people, his can- didature made a strong appeal to the aver- age citizen, and he rolled up the votes on : account. The fact that he had previous in council, however, Weighed largely with some people and was a contribu- tory Yori in his election. Mayor-elect "Marks can be depended upon to give good feadership to the 1931 council. He has good judgment, initiative and resourcefulness, and, above all, is 8 sound business man with large interests in the city, so that he will have the welfare of the whole community at heart in serving it as mayor. It is regrettable, of course, to lose so valu- «~~ ghle a public servant as George Hart from the civic life of Oshawa, but ene can only express the hope that at some future occa- sion he will again offer his services and his experience to the community in some public ; ity. ss 5 & The electors were fortunate in that three extremely capable men were offering them- ' selves as candidates for the public utilities * commission. 'All of them were well qualified "for the position, and it was unfortunate that one of them had to be left at home. The elected, however, George Allchin and Frank L. Mason, are both men of experience in office, Mr. Mason being a former mayor of Oshawa, warden of Ontario county, sown councillor, county councillor and utili- ties commissioner, and Mr. Alichin a former member ¢f the city council and the board of education. Thus the two utilities commis. gioners elected are well "fitted to serve the citizens in that capacity. It was to be re- P of course, that William H. Ross had 'to be defeated. He has given eight years of valuable service on the water commission and utilities commission, his service being of § value on account of his technical y particular as an engineer. But such are the . fortunes of elections, and the service of even _ the best of men is at some time or another rected. ss J In the aldermanic contests, two aldermen bf last year were defeated after one year of ce, Ald. William Sulley and Ald. Angus eron. Both had given good service dur- ing their year on the council, and the only reason that can be advanced for their defeat js that the people desired a change. The ! surprising feature of the aldermanic con- . tests was the .excellent showing made by "mew aspirants to municipal honors. In the . Northwest Ward, Gilbert Puckett and Rob- ert Keel ran first and second, leaving Ald. | George Morris, the veteran of the council, in the third place but re-elected. In the South- 'Ward, Louis Hyman, another newcomer, also headed the poll. The other new mem- bers, John Caunt and Fred O. Kirby, also ran I. the latter nosing out William Sulley in ward. . It is gratifying, however, to see such men fieorge Morris, William Boddy, Samuel 'on, J. B. Waterous, Edmund Jackson Thomas Knox re-elected. for another v, All of these men have been conscien- [ Lg a ------ ar SHINS NATE oS tious in the discharge of their aldermanic duties, and have given good service. So the: men elected in contests, with the addition of Peter MacDonald, Thomas Hawkes and J. H. R. Luke, elected in their ward by ac- clamation, complete a council in which there is an even balance of experienced men and new blood, which is not an altogether un- desirable condition under the present cir- cumstances. « & » ® On the whole, the 1931 council is a well- balanced body of citizens. It has a difficult year ahead of it. It has knotty problems with which to wrestle, difficult situations with which to deal, and it has, particularly, to give careful attention to the problems of financing. But, having been elected, it is entitled to the support and co-operation of all the citizens. The new men must be given an opportunity to prove their worth and their capabilities, and those who have been re-elected have an opportunity to give valu- able guidance to those who have undertaken civic office for the first time. The citizens will expect from them service, and in the giving of that service they have great oppor- tunities to serve their city, and to justify the confidence which their fellow-citizens have placed in them. THANKS! Last night The Times was able to give the citizens of Oshawa an excellent service of election returns. Without being guilty of boasting, it is possible to say that this ser- vice was much appreciated, and hundreds of citizens so expressed themselves. Yet it is only fair to say that this service would not have been possible but for the splendid spirit of co-operation shown by those who assisted. The deputy returning officers were the soul of courtesy and kind- ness in making the returns available prompt- ly, the operators of the Bell Telephone Com- pany worked heroically, under a terrific pressure of traffic, to give characteristic Bell service, both to The Times and to the many hundreds of citizens who inquired for the results, and the office staff of The Times Publishing Company and the Mundy-Good- fellow Printing Company jumped into the fray and made a splendid contribution of service in the collection, tabulation and dis- semination of returns. With such co-operation, so freely and will- * ingly given, it was not difficult to give good service to the public, and the editorial de- part of The Times, which usually has to bear the brunt of the effort on occasions of this kind, desires to express sincere thanks to all of those who so ably assisted in the work of last night. EDITORIAL NOTES The electors made their marks for Marks, and now Marks has the opportunity to make his mark on the life of the community. It was a great election, and the electors are to be congratulated on braving the ele- ments of an unpleasant day in such numbers, But just the same, it would have been wa better had the other fifty per cent voted. One of the regrettable things in these elections is that some good men have always to be' left at home. It is a good sportsman who knows how to take defeat with a smile, and George Hart proved himself a sportsman of that type last night. Now we can settle down to the business of making 1931 a better and more prosperous year. It usually proves true in elections that the man who receives the most cheers does not always receive the most votes. And the next interesting piece of civic business will be the selection of the standing committees and their chairman for next year. We would like to predict that there will be no great rush for the chairmanship of the board of works.

But with the advance of industry and education, the eyes were expected to, and called upon to spend much of their time on fine work and instead of the. rest- ful elements of night we have work by the means of artificial light. This not only means trying con- ditions that are new to us but it also means fatigue through extra work when the eyes should be rest- ing for the work of the day fol- lowing.

When needed, mes- iengers were despatched to the var- fous polls, s Space at a Premium e Space was at a premium in The Times' Building from eight o'clock until almost ten o'clock, every a- vailable corner being occupied, and the scene resembled a common sight of not long ago when large crowds used to gather in brokers' offices to watch with eager eyes the advancing or receding record of various stocks. It was a good-na- tured crowd and it halled the re sults with enthusiasm, Almost 'rom the first it became evident that Ernie Marks was leading in the mayoralty race while it also seemed clear that Geo. C. Allchin was getting the heaviest vote for election to the public utilities com- mission. Returns for the alderman- ic contests in the various wards however left the crowd more - or les in doubt as to the final out- come until they were completed, The Times' organization proved efficient and it was not long after nine o'clock before the fina) returns were made kpown. Ernic Marks Ernie Marks, successful mayoral- ty candidate, received a great ova- tion when he entered The Times' building to speak to the large crowd which had gathered in the front office to watch the bulletjus. A. R. Alloway, managing director of The Times Publishing Co., wel-| comed the new mayor to the im-| provised platform and {invited him | | to address the audience, | | "This is a proud moment to me," | | Mr. Marks stated, 'and I am great- ly elated by the results of the elec- tion. You have shown great con- fidence in me and I will do every- thing possible to prove myself worthy of that confidence." "1 will play the game fair," he stated in continuing, 'and will at al] times stand squarely on my feet and will not be influenced by any one. Words can not express my feelings at this time and I can only say that I will carry on to the very best of my abilities. At this time next year I expect to be able to give a good account of my services for the good old city of Oshawa." As Mr. Marks stepped down from the platform he was accorded three hearty cheers and a ti~er, thus in- Afcating that his election was a pop- ular one. | A.W. Bell As the frowd in The Times' Juilding was waiting eagerly for the returns, A. W. Bell, chairman of the board of education last year who has been re-elected by acclama- tion, was given the opportunity of riefly addressing the voters, Mr. Bell reviewed the work of the hoard during tho past year and re ferred particularly to the erection of the new vocational school as an addition to the coleglate institute. This new school, he stated, was one of the best equipped in the province and he hoped that every citizen would inspect it. The increased in- terest which is being shown in the avening classes was emphasized by the speaker who mentioned that a large number were taking up voca- tional subjects at night. Mr. Bell expressed appreciation that he has been given the privilege of serving another year on the board of edu- cation. Louis Hyman As returns were brought in for the south-east ward it became evid- ent that Louis Hyman, well known local barrister, was heading the pou in this ward. Mr, Hyman was in- vited to speak but at first declined. "I remember last year," he sald, that an aldermanic candidate spoke here before the returns were completed. He thought that he had been elected but when the final re- sults were known he found that he had been left at home," will Work as Naval Planes i bufit in the north end, but 1 was With only one more poll to hear from, Mr. Hyman was finally con- vinced of his election. | "I just wish to thank all those | who so generously supported me in | the south-east ward," he sajd, "I 40 not believe in making promises but can onl ysay that I will endea- vor to give of my best in the inter. asts of the city." : Ald. Waterous Ald. J. B. Waterous, who wag re- slected in Cedardale, also thanked is supporters from the platform nd expressed gratitude that he would be able to represent the ward for another year in the city couneril, J. Caunt Cedardale voters were also thanked for their support by John Caunt, president of the Cedardale Ratepayers' Association, who will "e a new member of the city coun- | cil. A splendid vote had been pol- | ed in the ward, he considered. Down, but by no means out, Ald. George Hart, chairman of the board of works for the past two years and a defeated mayoralty candidate, spoke briefly to the audience in The Times' building last night. To those who had given him their sup- port he expressed gratitude and stated that he would at all times be willing to serve the city whenever occasion should arise, Mr. Hart was applauded heartily for his evi- ent good sportsmanship and his good grace in accepting defeat. Al. Sulley Ald. Sulley, who was defeated in the south-west ward, also addressed the electors. Admitting that he was among the "also rans" Ald. Sulley said that his defeat would cause him to bear no 111 will and he was willing to abide by the deci- sion of the voters. + Ald, Boddy Ald. Boddy, who headed the poll in the south-west ward and who will serve another year of the city council, spoke briefly and expressed appreciation for his election, = UNUSUAL TYPES OF NEW AIRCRAFT in Conjunction With Submarines London, Jan, 5.~Among the more unusual types of service aircraft pro- duced by the British industry are the small acroplanes built for reconnais- sance work from submarines, Con- siderable ingenuity is needed in the design of an aeroplane which shall be seaworthy and efficient and yet be small enough for compact storage in the limited space available within a submarine. A successful craft of this kind is the Parnall "Peto," a small two-seater constructed largely of stainless steel, which has mde long cruises in one of the largest sub- | marines in the Royal Navy, | The craft is a biplane powered with an ajr-cooled engine of approximately 150 horsepower and is specially fitted for catapult launching from the sub- marine deck. Carrying a military load of about 500 pounds, exclusive of oil and petrol, the small craft is able to remain aloft for two hours, extend ing by many hundreds of square mies the area which may be effectively re- connoitered by a scouting submarine Once on board again the "Peto may be folded into a small space and lowered into a tiny hangar in the submarine hull, The maximum speed of the machine is 110 miles an hour and a height of 5,000 feet, from which | a wide expanse of sea may be swept, is reached in 11 minutes' climbing.

"The city of Montreal, when it comes to artistic development, hould not be sacrificed to contrac- tors, whatever they are, wherever they be. I claim that it is wrong today, to accept any plan providing 'or outside stairways. New wards, new districts are springing up in the city all the time.
