THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY. FEBRUARY 9, 1937 PAGE THREE PROBLEMS IN THE CANADIAN WEST Ably Presented in United Church by Rev. Denzie Ridout The problem confromting the United Church of Canada of evan- gelizing the thousands of non-An- glo Saxon people settled in the Oanadian West was very ably pre- sented by the Rev. Denzil G. Rid- out; at the Whitby United Church on Sunday evening. Rev. Mr. Rid- out's subject was "The New Home- land," illustrated with one hun- dred slides, representing actual photographs taken by 'him in the west last summer, On the screen were shown piec- tures of people of sixty-eight na. tionalities, speaking 110 different languages, who have immigrated from European countries to seek new fortunes in Canada. Rev. Mr. Ridout last summer visited many of these people in 'their new: sur. roundings and found them in the majority hard working, industri- ous and anxious to take advantage of the opportunities presented to them in Canada, Rev. Mr. Ride out last \ summer visited many of these péople in their new sur. roundings and found them in the majority hard working, Indus- trious and anxioug to take advant- age of the opportunities presented them in Canada. He found that 'many of them hag brought with them and were still observing old 'world customs, living as they did in their native homes. It was noted that some of them adhered to their religious beliefs and here and there little churches had been 'built in the great prairie sections of the west. They were in the ma- Jority of the Greek Orthodox -or Greek Catholic, and some Luther- an, and were most devout in their worship. Rev. Mr. Ridout stated, however, that only about twenty per cent, of these people identi- fied themselves with the church, and thus a great problem present. ed itself to the United States of Canada which was a great mission- ary church and which was contrib. uting large sums annually through its Missionary and Maintenance Fund. ' Rev. Mr. Ridout had the dis- tinction of driving the, first en- ,Bine in the new Hudson Bay port jof Churchill, where a small church has been established, He put on the screen a photograph of him- self sitting in the engine cap with the engineer, His description ot the work being done by the minis- ters and missionaries of the United Church. among these peoples of many nations in the west, meeting 'them as they landed at Canadian "ports-following them to their new homes and seeking to help them in many ways was most enlightening + and inspiring. The pictures thrown 'on the screen helped in a real way to convey the message. Rev, Mr. Ridout told of many instances where the foreign set- tlers in the west are seeking to 'merge themselves with Canadians, taking on Canadian names and bring their children. up as natives of the new land of their adoption. Many of them were naturalized and had made good, owning large homes and two or three cars. Rev. Mr. Ridout stated that 60 per cent. of the, Canadian West population 'was non-Anglo-Saxon, that in Can- 'ada alone there were half a mil. lion Ukrainians and that in Mani- toba alone 48 per cent. of the 'people were not of British birth. To reach them with the gospel the ible: Society had to print the ible in 110 different languages for 68 nationalities. The. influence for gogd or evil of these new settlers was stressed 'by Rev. Mr. Ridout, as he told of them erecting their own labor temples and churches, and having ambitions to establish settlements which would = demand certain rights. "The problem before the United Church was therefore very great, Rev, Mr. Ridout. stated, stressing the need for missionar- jes and money so that all these new settlers might be won for 'Christ and His Kingdom, In the morning Rev. C. A, Myers, D.D., secretary of the Reli- 'glous Education Department ot the United Church, occupied the pulpit, delivering a stirring mes- sage. The pulpit next Sunday will be occupied by Rev. A. It. Sanderson, of Whitby. v PLAN FURTHER L0CAT RELIEF WORK elf>re Meeting Called for Monday Evening o revise plang for carrying on f work for the balance of the r when it will be most need- meeting of the Christmas and Welfare Fund Commit. # been called for Monday of this week at eight «sock in the Town Clerk's office an the Town Hall. The meeting 'has been called' by the president, 23. H. Ormiston, and it is expected Jthat a suggestion will be made Association and that new officers will be elected. ' . The Fund has on hand some $500. The officers have carried on since Christmas and several fami- lies have been supplied with food fuel and clothing. With many citi. zens still out of work, and civie programmes of work nearing com- pletion, it: is felt that the need tor. help will be greater before Spring than during the fore part of the winter, The meeting on Monday night will be representative of all chuches and community organiza- tions, and a request will be made that trustees be appointed to ad- minister the fund on hand. The officers have so far been co-op- erating with the Relief Committee of the Town Council. It is possible that some steps will 'be taken to raise further funds which will undoubtedly be required. . COMMITTEES BEGIN WORK FOR LEGION CONVENTION HERE (Continued from page 1) of the reception and billeting of dele- gates, will hold its first meeting, and will make some plans whereby the five hundred delegates can be taken care of while in the city. Every available inch of hotel accommoda- tion in' the city will be required, and in addition, citizens will probably be invited to open their homes to dele- gates, in order to take care of them 11 all, The other committees, particularly the entertainment committee, will al- so be meeting within the next few days to make a start on their part of the arrangements, Biggest Ever Held Reports which have been received from all over Ontario indicate that the Oshawa gathering is going to be the largest convention ever held by the provincial command of the Le- jon. At past conventions, Northern ntatio has been represented by on- ly two delegates, but this year it is expected that there will be at least tv's score present from '"e nor': Other sections of the province are also planning to send larger numbers of delegates than have attended any previous convention, and it is going to be a tremendous problem for the Oshawa Branch of the Legion to carry out all the plans which will be necessary for their housing and en- tertainment, as well ag for the busi- ness session of the convention. WHAT OTHERS SAY THE LORD'S DAY ALLIANCE AND LAW ENFORCEMENT There seems to be a rather widely extended opinion that it is the busi= ness of the Lord's Day Alliance to enforce the Lord's Day Act. 'I's is. not in accordance with the facts either as a matter ot history or of policy. The Alliance has consistently refused to exercise the functions of the police. It does no detective work, It does not prosecute. The cniy m- siances in which the Alliance has felt Justified in taking a cay: directly to the courts have been either to olitam en interprétation of the meaning of some clause in the Ac: or te appeal irom seme court judgment with which it did not agiee, The Lord's Day Alilatce conceives its function ito be 4 three-fold one: 1. To endeavour to bring about a Letter observance of the Lord's Day Act by correspondence or interview with companies or persons who have been reported as violating that law. T: bring press.re to bear upon the civ c authorities in the interest of a batter enforcem.nt of the Act. 3. To educate and stimulate public opiniou (a) as to the character of the Act, (b) as to the values of Sunday observance. Thus, the Alliance remains true to the slogan adopted many years ago "Education, not dictation ; persuasion, not coercion," C. H.

He was sil. ver medallist in the W.C.T.U, Oratorical. Contest here in 1020. 'POLLYANNA' TO BE PRESENTED ON THURSDAY NEXT Popular Four Act Comedy, by Local People To Be Given, on Two Nights Production cof the sparkling four-act comedy, Pollyanna, under the auspices of the Masonic Tem- ple auditorium committee, will be one o of the highlights of the en- tertainment 'program of tue city in the next two weeks. This com- edy, which is being presented en- tirely by talented local players, is to be given in the Masonic Temple Auditorium on Thursday evening, February 12, and the second per- formance will he given in the same place on the following Thurs day. February 19. The leading parts in the play are taken by Yvonne Finlay, clever nine-year-cld Oshawa girl, who, on a former presentation of the play being made, received the enthusi- astic applause of the audience and by Jack Germond, also a 'talented Oshawa boy, who plays the part of Jimmy Beam and works fn spelndidly with little Yvonne Fin- lay's "Pellyanna." These two young artists show remarkable ability in their respective roles, and are well worth seeing. The company will be assisted by the General Motors Male Quartet, which will have a prominent place in the program. As tickets are now being sold for the small ad- mission charge of 25 cents, it is expected that the auditorium will be filled to capacity on both ocra- sions. QUEBEC FURNITURE IS RICH HERITAGE French-Canadians Are Urg- ed to Preserve Valuable .Old Pieces Montreal, Feb, 9.--It is a great pity that the Quebec connoisseur and lover of old furniture should see carloads of valuable French. Canadian household goods shipped across the frontier each year at the close of the tourist CITY AND DISTRICT NEWS | CAR CAUGHT FIRE When the engine "backfired" a car owned by Mr. Tilley, license no. NP-712, caught fire while it was travelling on Simcoe street north last Saturday afternoon. The fire department was called and the flames were extinguished before serious damage could be done. ANOTHER CHIMNEY FIRE In spite of repeated warnings to keep chimneys clean, chimney fires 'are still common in Oshawa. Shortly after one o'clock Saturday after- noon the fire department was sum- moned to the home of W. J. Cal- tord, 196 Albert street, to extingu- ish a bléze which had occurred in the chimney. There was no damage. NO POLICE COURT Oshawa was well behaved over the week-end and ag a result there was no police court this morning. Chief of Police Friend was out of the city today on a business trp to Toronto. WHERE CONDITIONS ARE GOOD Conditions in Prince Edward County of Ontario are better than almost anywhere else, according to Milton Van Dusen, who has had the Chevrolet agency in Picton since 1918 and bases his conclusions upon his record sale of motor cars last year. More than 700 Chevrolet cars have been sold to county people, he sald recently, and his agency has handled more than 2,000 new and used cars in the past dozen years, NO NEW MODELS IN AUGUST Because of the decided popularity of the McLaughln-Buick Straight Aights, it has been decided by Gen- aral Motors of Canada that there will not be the usual August an- aouncement with regard to new models. The present line will be continued. MOTOR NUMBER 100,000 One hundred thousand Chevrolet Six motors made at Walkerville, Ontario, within the past two years. That is the story that comes dn the engine factory of General Mot- ors of Canada where the power plants for the well-known Canadian made Chevrolet are turned out. The power plants built at Walkerville along with bodies made at Oshawa and other parts made at St. Cathar- ines and other Canadian plants, went into the making of Canadian Chevrolet Sixes for domestic con- sumption and export. ANOTHER NEW RECORD The 800 mark has been passed by the Sunday School of King Street United Church. On Sunday a new high record of 802 was set up, this being the fourth Sunday in sueces- sion that a new high record has been established. Last Sunday the attendance was 782, on January 26 it was 775, and on January 18 it was 764. The previous high record made over a year ago, was 752, SKATERS WENT TO WHITBY As there was no skating in the lo- cal arena Saturday night on account of the hockey game, a large number of skaters journeyed to Whitby and took advantage of the fine sheet of ice in the Whitby rink. BUS' IN TROUBLE Lindsay, Feb. 9 -- The Toronto, Lindsay bus was tied up Saturday af- 'ternoon between Manilla and Oak- 'wood, and was detained for about one hour until a team of horses pulled it out, v CITIZENS LEAGUE FORMED Birch Cliff, Feb, 9--George Colling- ton was elected president of the Scarboro Citizen's League at the first annual meeting held in the Veteran's Hall, Kingston Road, Saturday night. W. Jacques, vice-president; L. Clay- ton Ridge; secretary-treasurer; J. Ryan, roll secreary. A concert and tea party completed the evening's program, TRAINING COURSE A SUCCESS The Leadership Training course is being conducted this year as usual at Centre St. United Church with marked success. - Sevenstudents hav- ing written gapers on "Principles of Teaching." Tonight a class is being organized to study "Teaching Values of the Old Testament" by Professor Myers. Dr. Fletcher is also conduct- ing a class of teachers in a study of the lite of Christ, The class is being held in Harmony with a number from Oshawa in attendance. DANGEROUS SPOTS Although there is bare pavement for the most part, several slippery spots are found on the Kingston highway and motorists find that it is wise to drive cautiously. Several drivers have had narrow escapes as their cars suddenly skidded on these treacherous places. FLOOR CAVING IN Rotten with age, the floor of the city's police station is beginning to cave in. There are several spots which have broken through and these have been covered up by the. police with pieces of metal sheething. Day by day the old station grows more wretched and miserable in appearance and the only creatures who. have any de- light in it are those nameless little fellows who revel in darkness and filth and who seem impervious to fumigations and poison. THOSE COMMON COLDS A great many in Oshawa are now suffering in varied degree from what is known. as the com- mon cold. It would be difficult to name the different treatments which people use in a effort to get rid of their coughs and a large number of medicines are employ- ed. Doctors emphasize, of course, that rest, the drinking of plenty of water, lemon juice and orange juice are the best means of com- batting a cold but although we can probably obey instructions about what to drink there are few of us who may take a rest whenever we think we need it. As a result, we go barking and cough- ing around, annoying ourselves as well as others. St. Valentine's Day Tokens Are Now Seasonable The displays of Valentines in many store windows are positive in- dication that it will soon be St. Val- entine's Day. In fact the annivers- ary of this saint, who is almost gec- ont to St. Nicholas in point of world wide popularity, will be celebrated next Saturday. It will then be quite proper for boys and girls to ex- change little tokens of affection in a manner which has not differed for a great many years. Bright colored hearts, mischiev- ous cupids and various other sym- bols of supposed love are employed by the valentine creators as a means in Store Windows of conveying the message desired. Conspicuous by thelr absence this year are those hideous cartoons which some folk used to delight in sending and which caused far more chagrin, humility and = bitterness than they did fun. Naughty boys used to delight in mailing them to their school teachers and on rare occasions the culprits were caught with punishment swift and certain to follow while their classmates held their noses and snickered. "Will you be my valentine?" "Not by a long shot." declared Prof, Alphonse Desilets. director of the department of do- | mestic sclénce of the Province of Quebec, addressing students of the Ecole Provineclale, Many come to Quebec in quest of goods and souvenirs and often find owners of priceless ob- jects ready to dispose of them for a trifle. Much of the furniture of the larger homes during the last per- fod of the French Regime was im- ported directly from France by the government officials, members of the clergy, traders and above all by members of the "petite noblesse" who had received large concessions of land in this country, They brought with them furniture dat. ing back many centuries and, con. tinued Prof. Desilets, Canadian wood carversand cabinet makers made a substantial contribution, Speaking of some of the best known manoirs and French-Cana- dian homes in the Quebec district, Prof, Desilets mentioned 'le Mou- Hin de Vincennes,' 'at Beaumont, near Levis, where the great in- tendant, Bigot, lavishly entertain *d his friends and guests. Under this roof may he found furniture and other household goods of three periods, one hall furnished in the style of 1730, a second with furni. ture in use in 1760 and a third hall containing furniture in use in 1830, which gives one an idea of the interior of the bourgeois home during the last century.

In 'welcoming the visitors, Mr. Miller gave a resume of the activities of the club, and appealed to all sportsmen to make 1931 a bigger and better year for sport in Qshawa. So far as the Nationals were concerned, he said, they viewed the coming soccer season with optimism, and with the hope of securing premier honours, and stressed the need of whole-heart- ed support for the club, Introductions followed and the committee handed around clay pipes and tobacco, and cigarettes in truc convivial style, and the evening was sven up to entertainment, Excellent Program An excellent programme was pro- vided George Norris, weil known or- chestral leader, officiated at the piano and in adition to accompanying the artists, gave varying selections and an entertaining pianoloque. Will Strathearn, a versatile performer, gave of his best in songs and mono- logues and an enthusiastic audience gave him special encores Greatly pleasing also were the items contributed by Peter Gow, Jack Cameron, George Walsh and other artists in every way making the ev- ening a success. Another smoker is to be held in the same place next Saturday, when a capacity crowd can be anticipated, and future social ev- ents will be discussed and arranged.

Ther Majesties, King George and Queen Mary, have graciously consented to be specially photo- graphed for them. "As many of you know," writes Mrs. Ruth B.

(33a), Bowmanville Daily Times Representatives Phone No. 53 13 ARGE CROWD OF FANS TO FOLLOW LOCAL JUNIORS Town in "Hockey Fever Over Prospects of Elim- inating Oshawa One of 'the biggest delegations ever to attend an out of town hoc- key game is expected to journey to Oshawa tonight to see the Osh- awa-Bowmanville Junior clash at the Arena, Ever since Fridy night when the locals defeated Oshawa with a clear margin of three goals the talk about the town has been hockey and citizens have at last decided to back the boys to the limit. As for the players them. selves every member of the team fs in trim and fully prepared for the big event and while they are not over confident they have enough confidence in themselves to believe that they can hold their lead until the end of the game and for the first time in 'many years wrest the group honors from Oshawa, The team to be played this evening will be the same» as that which defeated the Red Shirts on Friday night and will be com. posed of, James in goal, Jamieson and Oke on the defense, Piper in center, Walton and Lunney on the wings and Bagnell, Brown and Veale as alternates. Every one of these members can be relied on to do his best and if they win tonight their honor will be well earned, while if they lose out they will go down fighting in the traditional Bowmanville style, When the bell rings for the first face oft it is expected. that the followers from Bowmanville wiil be there in large numbers to make themselves easily heard above the din of the Oshawa sup- porters. The seven o'clock bus out of Bowmanville will get to the Arena in lots of time and Mr, Garton will be fully prepared to put plenty of vehicles on the route to take care of those attending the game. Any person soliciting a ride in a car for today's game is told that they are full up. Every- one seems to be taking in the game with the belief that not in years have the locals had such a chance to win the group. Their defeats in the group schedule are gone and forgotten but their win of Friday is still fresh in their minds and the winning features are also imbedded so deeply that a repetition of that game will be seen in the Arena tonight. The big question is whether or not the huge ice surface will have a deter- ring effect on the locals. It may and may not and it will have to remain to be seen. Anyway Bow- manville is going to Oshawa to- night. NEWS ABOUT TOWN OSHAWA GROUP COMING Christ Chureh branch of the A. Y.P.A. of Oshawa will visit St. John's Church, Bowmanvilie Branch, this evening when George BE. Carr, F.R.H.S., will give a lec- ture and a fine supporting pro- gram will be given.

Montreal, Feb. 9.---~Branding as a "public nuisance" the clause im leases of today. which stipulates that tenants must give three months' notice when moving and which permits a host of unwelcome visitors to storm houses, flats and apartments in the city during February, March and April, the Citizens' Association of Laurier resolution urging the provineiag Government to pass a law where« | by landlords would call upon ten ants to give but one month's no= tive before moving. : fote by Clovis Bernier, president of the National Catholic executive officer of the association, both of whom denounced the press ent system whereby people hunte ing for new places of residence have the right to-enter any house as a possible future tenant.
