/ PAGE THREE - THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, JULY 23, 1931 - putting on a drama by the young Bowmanville Daily Times 4 Representative's Phone No. 53 BOWHANVILLE MEN "TOBE EMPLOYED Assurance Given That Labor Agreement Will Be Fulfilled by Gas Com- pany Carin The announcement of the awarding of the contract for the laying of gas mains and its ac- companying article caused some- what of a furore in Bowmanville last night, owing to the impres- sion gained from reading the ar- ticle in last night's Times. The announcement reading in part that the labor for the job would be secured from the Oshawa Em- ployment office appeared that Bewmanville labor had been for- gotten and that mo local labor would be used until the gas mains reached Bowmanville. The Times approached hoth Mr. Gordon Conant and Mr, J. T. Milner, the vice-president and General Manager of the Ontario Shore Gas Company to find out if this was correct. Both were em. phatic that Bowmanville labor would be employed when the work got near to this town. Mr. Milner made a special trip to Rowmanville to acquaint Mayor Elliott with the facts. Calling on The Times after his visit to The Mayor, Mr. Milner stated that the article in The Times was mis- leading. although not intentional- ly so. The labor used on the Osh- gwa gas mains would be com- posed entirely of Oshawa men but as it neared Bowmanville local men would get the work. Mr. Milner also made arrange- ments with Mayor Elliott for a register of unemployed and May- or Elliott has requested that all unemployed men register as soon #8 possible with Town Clerk John Lyle at his office in the Town Hall. This list will then be ready when the construction gets far enough advanced for local labor to he taken on. Mr. Milner add- ed that Bowmanville people need have no fear that the company will not carry out the terms of its agreement to the letter and it will provide as much work as possible for local unemployed. He assured The Times that the lay- ing of mains in Bowmanville would be completed before the frost comes in the fall.

These are the two Liberal members of the Upper House who, according to previous evidence, re- ceived more than $700,000 for their party's fund a year ago during the general election campaign. The mystery was heightened to- ward the end of the brief proceed- ings when Peter White, K.C., chief committee counsel, and J. R. L Starr, K.C,, counsel for Senator Wilfrid - Laurier McDougald, join- ed in an announcement that the senator's secretary "could not be lo- cated." EVERSON-COURTICE FAMILY REUNION Over sixty attended the Ever- son and Courtice family picnic held yesterday at Hampton fark, Hamp- ton, Ontario, Relatives from Lind- say, Leamington, Toronto, Mont- real, Bowmanville, South Darling- ton, Oshawa and Courtice gathered for this happy occasion. George Bray, of Toronto, president of the picnic committee for this year was master of ceremonies, He was as- sisted by Miss Ethel Skinner, Tor- onto, secretary of the committee. Many novel races were introduced this year by the sports committee that was composed of three of the oldest members of the two families, James Knight, Breoklin, T. H. Ev- erson, Oshawa, and Levi Skinner, Many expressed their de- light as having Mrs. James Courtice of = Bowmanville, and Mrs, S. J. Hargis of Oshawa, with them at the family reunion. Both Mrs. Courtice and Mrs. Harris have been seriously ill during the past winter. While all were seated at the pic- nic supper table, letters and tele- grams from relatives too far away to be present at the affair, were read. These came from Fort Wil- liam, England, Hartford, Conn., Montreal, Chicago and Detroit, Harold Gay, of Oshawa was elect- ed president for the 1932 picnic, Lawrence Mason, of Bowmanville, vice president, and Miss Louise Courtice, of Courtice, secretary. The sports next year will be in charge of Charles Wight, Providence, Robert Courtice, Courtice, and Eber Snow- den, Oshawa, Giant New Cunarder Has Novel Features Halifax.--Less than a century ago Samuel Cunard peddled vege- tables through the streets of this city to secure money with which he could embark on his sensation- al career as one of the Empire's greatest steamship line operators. Today, the line which he founded in this old garrison city, is build- ing an express liner on the Clyde which, when completed in 1933, will be the largest and most lux- gigantic new ship, symbolic of the faith which Samuel Cunard had in the future development of his native land and in ocean trans- portation between the old and new worlds, is truly the scientific marine marvel of the age.

This | City and District News CONCERT ENJOYED The concert given in Memorial Park last evening by the Oshawa Citizens' Band was listened to by a large crowd of people which it attracted. The concert was one of those scheduled to be given in Memorial Park during the summer. The band was conduct- ed by Jack Broadbent, TO ARRANGE BANQUET A meeting has been called of the special committee of the city council which is to awvork with a similar committee from the Osh- awa Branch of the Canadian Le- gion in planning the details of the banquet which is to be tend- ered the Legion convention dele- gates and distinguished visitors from overseas on Thursday, Aug- vst 27, in the Armories. This committee is to meet in the com- mittee room at the city offices to- morrow evening at eight o'clock. The aldermen on the committee are George Morris, Thomas Hawkes and Harry Cawker, while tke Legion members of the com- mutee. are Major R. B. Smith, Arthur Gladman and M, M. Hood. FINAYCE COMMITTEE A nieeting of the Finance Com- mittee of the City Council has A ol been called for this evening at 7.30 o'clock. TO CONSIDER RESOLUTIONS Consideration of resolutions to minion conventions is likely to be the chief subject for discussion at Jhis evening's meeting of the Oshawa Branch of the Canadian Legion. There are several mat- ters which the members of the branch believe should be brought before the convention and a large attendance of members is ex- pected for the discussion tonight. The memorial committee is also expected to announce the ar- rengements for the annual decor- ation day services of the Legion. prea ------------ UTILITIES COMMISSION MEET The chief business before the regular meeting of the Public Uttifties Commission heing held this evening will be the consider- ation of tenders for the electric wiring of the new Utilities duild- ing. It is expected that some in-, terim report will also be tabled regarding the success or other- wise of the staff in collecting ar- rears of water rates which still remain outstanding. Seas will cust the Cunard line and the British government a total of $30,000,000 before she slides gracefully down the ways in 1933. Other expensive developments in connection with the harbor fac- ilities for the giant vessel include a new $20,000,000 pier on the Hudson, while a new graving dock, to cost approximately $10,- 000,000 will be built at South- ampton. Sea sickness, that disagreeable feature of ocean travel experienc- ed by many travellers, will, it is thought, be a thing of the past on this new ship. She will not roll even in. the heaviest seas, for the steadiness of the ship will be assured by a $1,000,000 gy- roscopic device which weighs over 300 tons. The reading of a par- tial list of the features of this new giant of the seas will impress the laymen with some of the mar. vellous developments being made in transatlantic ocean liner con- struction by British marine engi- neers, Her engines will generate 200,- 000 horsepower, Ten miles of carpet will be used to cover her floors. She will have 10,000 electric light fittings. A total of 30,000 tons of steel will enter into er construction, She will have 12 turbines, 7 turbo generators, and 300 elec- tric motors. The catering department will have 200,000 pieces of crockery. A row of 14 lifeboats will line each side of her upper deck. She will' have' ventilators with mouths large enough to swallow a subway car, Decorations for the ship alone will cost $2,500,000. There will be an elaborate chapel where services will be held daily. About 5000 men are now busily engaged on construction of the ship on the River Clyde, Glasgow, and it is hoped that she will de- part on her maiden voyage in Oc- tcher, 1933. This immense trans- atlantic express liner will have accomodation for. 5000 passen- gers, and with a sister ship soon to follow, will maintain weekly service on the New York and Can- adian service of the line. It is expected that with her speed of thirty-five knots she will be able to make the Atlantic crossing in four days. SPIDER WORK CAMERAMEN WATCH For three days and nights a raicroscopic camera was focussed ci a tiny water spider, Science was trying to get a complete cinematograph life story of the insect, writes F. Willlams in this article in London Pearson's weekly. Cameramen and scientists sat around the camera, watching its work, They had their meals there, and slept there in chairs. When the third day was over, they nad a complete history of the hatching of hundreds of tiny spiders as they ate their way through the silken cocoon, In the great cause of educa- ticn, scientists and film produc. ers are combining their talents to produce accurate pictues: of animal, insect and plant Ife. It is work in which patienco is the greatest virtue. Sometimos 18 months are spent in collecting material for a film. Before a creature can be filmed its life and habits are studied by a body of scientists, who have al- 80 an expert knowledge of cine- matography, Sometimes as many as 10 men are observing tha crea- tore. - "i In 'most of these films, the "actors" are photographed in their natural settings, because the majority refuse to live their customary lives when transported tc a laboratory. It is work in which luck plays a great part. The camera is so close to the performers that there is no room for a second camera. So if the first shot fai's, it means a long wait before the creature will react the required "ghot." Often that episode occurs only once in the whole lifetime of the creature. Should the "take" be unsuccessful, money and time have heen wasted. When Hornets Fight One cameraman had a stroke of good fortune when makinz a film of hornets' lives. He sat in a tree with his telescope camera, and caught excellent shots of the hornets collecting tiny particles of weathered wood, chewing it to rulp and placing jt on the walls of their homes, Suddenly an enemy body of hornets made a surprise attack on the nest, There was a fight that lasted for hours. Dozens had been slain, when at last the go before the provincial and do- of blood was drawn from the Body of a victim of sleeping sick- nees, and was immediately p! before the camera, From that moment, the relent- less struggle that goes on in our blood was shown. The "germs caused by the sting of the tsetse fly quickly defeated the combat~ ing elements in the blood cells. The film was a complete record of the final victory of the germs and doctors who saw it said af- terwards that the picture was of the greatest value to the medical profession, US. GOLD TOTAL AT NEW RECORD Federal Reserve Reports Enormous Holdings Washington, July 22-- How the financial crisis in Germany, which led to President Hoover s debt moratorium plan, fncreased the already enormous gold stocks of the United States, the largest in history, was revealed by the Federal Reserve Board, in its monthly survey. Due to the release of a large amount of gold previously held under earmark for foreign ac. count, along with an {inflow of gold from Argentina and Canada, United States gold stocks were increased during June to the amazing total of $4,954,000,000, which is about half the world wy supply. "This release of gold was con- nected with large scale withdraw- al of short time funds from the German market," the Reserve Board explained. "During the period from May 31 to June 23, tne Reichsbank lost $230,000,- 000 in gold and $20,000,000 in foreign exchange, with the conse- quence that its reserves were re- duced close to the minimum re- quired by law." The Reichsbank's ratio of re- serves to notes which is required by law to be not less than 40 per cent, dropped to 40.4 per cént on June 23, the board revealed. It wag on June 24 that the agree- ment was reached between the United States, Great Britain, France, and the Bank of Inter- national Settlements to advance the Reichshank a $100,)00,600 loan. President Hoover announ- ced his moratorium plan or June 29. attackers retired in confusion. but the cameraman had the finest | picture of his career. A recent expedition travelled into the heart of South America, along the banks of the Amazon --~--the world's 'longest river-- to obtain the life history of a rare mnsect, In tryng to force their way through the rapids, a member nt the party was killed and most of the provisions were lost. The suryivors were hungry, but they had no food. Finally they had to eat a meal of giant caterpillars, concocted by tha In- dians of the party. Still after weeks of wandering through jun. gle and swamp, they got their pictures. The most dramatic edusation- al! film yet made shows the move- ment of bacteria in the human blood system, and the eventual aestruction of the red blood ceils by sleeping sickness germs. To obtain it, miscoscopic cam- era equipment was taken deep into the African jungle.

"Such a large addition to the geld stock in one week was facil- litated by the fact that a part of the gold was not shipped from abroad, but was already in this country held under earmark for foreign account, and was added to the country's monetary gold stock through release from ear- mark." Tracing the movement of gold in the last five years, the Reserve Board pointed out that the prin- cipal recipients of gold in that period have been the United Sta- tes and France, the latter now having the second largest stocks, totalling over $2,000,000,000, CONFERENCE OF LEGION BRANCHES HERE LAST NIGHT (Continued from page 1) {the Legion would be shown in the press exactly as its members amde it in reality. Comrade Adye, in his report, as Zone representative, spoke of the growth and the progress made by the Legion throughout the zone, and urged that this be continued, so that the organization could car- ry on its work of national service, and safeguard the interests of the ex-service men of the country, and the nation as a whole. Discussion of ocnvention resolu- tions brought a proposal from the Cobourg branch that the conven- tion be asked to go on record favor- ing a moratorium on mortgages and similar agreeemnts, and it was de cided that this resolution be sup- ported by the branches in the zone. Convention arrangements were discussed at some length, 'and every branch in the zone will be repre- sented by its full quote of delegates at the big gathering here next Au- gust. Most of the branches will also be represented by their own delegates at the Domihion conven- tion, and all the othérs will be re- presented by proxy.
