Some idea of the volume of traffic may be had from the fact that in 15 minutes over 200 cars on Saturday after- noon passed over Whitby's main intersection. The line of traffic became so heavy at times that it was necessary for Acting Chief John Thomas to shut off the traf- fic control signals. The traffic started on Friday night and reached its peak the middle of Saturday afternoon. On Monday night it moved along the highways in great volume from late in the afternoon until the early hours of Tuesday morn- ing. There were several accidents reported on the Kingston High- way between Oshawa, Whitby and Toronto, twe of them in Whitby, but on the whole, con- sidering the volume of traffic, motorists generally drive with great care, otherwise the number of accidents would have been larger, "Tratffis Officer Sidney Hil- lard reported on Monday night late that he had not found it necessary to lay one charge against a motorist. Some warn- ings were given, as usual, but there were no flagrant violations of the Highway Traffic Act. Traffic Officer Robert Hawk- shaw, patrolling a portion of the Whitby-Lindsay highway report- ed that he had not heard of any accidents over the week-end, and the traffic over his territory was the heaviest of the season. Acting Chief of Police John Thomas had two minor accidents in Whitby, and in connection with one of them he had to lay a charge of reckless driving. eet. A. J.

OFFICERS REPORT: - READERS' VIEWS CITY COUNCIL REFORM Editor, Oshawa Daily Times, Sir: Just and' think (and let all citizens do likewise). When the "tail wags the dog" is it not time for the dog to twist and turn? By your 'report on' our council's meeting in committee of the whole they 'accept the proposal of Alder- men E, Jackson and J. Caunt, mem- bers, of our "tail end ward" No. 5, sedardale, for a reduction of coun- cil from 15 to 10 members; and to be elected under ward system of two from each of our five wards. This strikes me that in our city of this year "the tail wags the dog" very decidedly. It is time our council woke up. voters, has three members on the city. council; whilst other wards with over 3000 voters, have only three members, is a most ' unfair state of affairs, and should be cor- rected. As one who has, on council and off, done my part towards council reform in the best interests in the city, I say it is high time to wake up, and come out "flat-footed," and straight. What were the other al- dermen doiwg to' agree to such a proposal which is nothing less than a continuance of unequal represen- tation? They were asleep to their responsibilities, I feel. 1 repeat today what I wrote you in January last, and that after many years of study on this matter, that a council of seven aldermen and a mayor will do twice as much in less time than any council of fifteen. With that greatly increased in- terest in city affairs that we have today, I am now fully convinced that the best and most representa- tive citizen or ratepayer can be better sclected by a general city- wide vote. This might not have been so a few years ago, but re- cent or present conditions of city affairs has aroused a keen city- wide interest. Therefore, we can well say "Time for a change,"--abolish the ward system of electing aldermen, giving one man one vote, and not one man five votes, as now. Do away with "ward pull and patronage"--get men with city-wide views, well known overywhere, and clected to council by a city-wide vote. It gives a bet- ter chance for the best men--of all classes, erceds and breeds. Put city before self. The work- ing and producing classes carry 70 per cent of the voters--what have they to fear? The working men of Oshawa, as a whole, are sane and level-headed, and will pick the man they know and trust cvery time. We have in the south over 2000 newcomers; who under the ward system have failed to get a rcpre- sentative on the council. By a gen- eral vote electing system they could at least get one representa- tive. Are they to be ignored? tax- payers and nationalized citizens? Section 46(6) of the Municipal Act provides that council shall sub- mit such a proposed change to a vote of the people on the submis- sion of a petition of not less than 400 qualified electors. Why not this time make sure that 400 or morc qualified electors petition and com- pel council to act? A council of seven and mayor elected by gencral vote obtain approved by bylaw sub- mitted to the electors, then make application to the Legislature for the special Act, How many private business firms do their business like our city coun- cil? Theif directors, seldom ex- ceeding 7 or 8 in all, refer all ques- tions of "finance" or "works" to their expert executives. Why not the city council of Oshawa and do away with our wasteful red tape pat- ronage committee system? We have a competent finance of- ficial and a works official. Refer questions first to. them for report to the council of seven with mayor, through a finance chairman and a "works" chairman in committee of the whole, thus reducing surplus red tape, closed door committees, with their often attendant disgusting scenes and slangs, doing' the city's business in a gentlemanly and busi- ness-like manner.

CARNELL. 515 Ritson Rd. N. Aug. 3, 1931. _ . OBITUARY DEATH OF MRS. ARTHUR * BLLIOTT Following an fllness of only two days duration, Jenny Brooks, beloved wife of Arthur EHiott of Brooklin, and daughter of Mr. an¢ Mrs. Robert Brooks, Ritsen Road North, passed away at the Oshawa General Hospital 'oa Sat- urday, August 1. Elliott had been in indifferent' health for a year or 0, but np serious illness was anticipated, and her sudaen passing came as a' great' shock to members of her family, and to Ler wide circle of friends. In the home circle, where she was a de- voted wife and mother, 'and in the wider sphere of her friend. chips, Mrs. Elliott will be great- ly missed. Mrs. Elliott was born in Osh- awa, and lived 'with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Brooks, at this home on" Ritson Road north, until the time of her marriage some five and a half years ago. Since her marriage she has lived at Brooklin, where her husband has a small fruit farm. She was a member of the United Church, being associated with King street awa, and for the last five years with the Brooklin United Church. Jozce, aged: 4: aud Bill rs. rge.

The regi , with a comp strength of almost exactly 150 all ranks, argived at the camp site on Saturday afternoon; remaining un- til the afternoon of Monday, when the camp was broken up and the four companies returned to their permanent headquarters. The rain on Sunday morning made the holding of any ceremonial par- ade for inspection, or divine service, impossible, the troops remaining in their tents under the old military slogan, revived owing to conditions, "more rain more rest," but with the weather clearing later in the day the greater part of the program of sports, reported elsewhere in these columns, was successfully run off according to schedule. The Band of the regiment, under Bandmaster W. Dempsey, W.O.I, after settling in camp on Saturday afternoon, visited the city in a motor truck and gave an impromptu con- cert on the intersection of King and Simcoe streets, which was much ap- preciated by a number of citizens who were privileged to hear this most efficient band. In addition to this concert the Band also rendered a similar pro- gram in the camp itself on Sunday evening which was thoroughly en- joyed by the troops themselves in addition to a number of civilians who had taken the opportunity of visiting the camp. On Monday morning a simple tac- tical excrcise was carried out, fol- lowing a general parade of the regi- ment, this military manoeuvre be- ing performed to the complete satis- faction of the senior officers and with the military precision which proves that the unit's time in train- ing has by no means been wasted. Regret was universal throughout the entire battalion at the unavoid- able absence, through illness, of Major R. B. Smith, who is a patient in the Oshawa General Hospital. It" was conceded by cvery officer, N.C.O. and man that it was chiefly through Major Smith's organization ability that the camp had been made possible, the regrets of the whole regiment being contained in a brief but sincere message forward- ed from the camp to Major Smith's bedside on Suncay evening. Brigade Commander's Farewell Some idea of the sincerity of this feeling may be gathered from the fact that at the dinner on Sunday evening held by the officers &f the regiment, at which Colonel R. V Conover, Brigade Commander of the 25th Infantry Brigade, and Lt.- Colonel Frank Chappell, a former commander of the Ontario Regi- ment, were honored guests, every speaker expressed regret at the ab- sence of Major Smith, Colonel Conover's presence at the Mess dinner was in the nature of a farewell visit to the regiment, his tenure of cosmand being on the point of expiring. In addressing the Mess he warmly complimented the regiment on the standard of ef- ficiency attained, and expressed his confidence that every member of the battalion would render the same loyal co-operation to his successor that they have done to himself. Colonel Chappell, who 'is Brigade Major of the 25th Brigade, joined with Captain E. Pearson, who was temporarily in command of the re- giment, and Major A. M. Stroud, the, Mess President, in expressing the regret of the battalion that Col. Conover is severing his official con- nection with the Ontario Regiment, and assured him that every officer and man wished him success on his retirement. The many visitors from this city, and the district from which "C" and "D" Companies 'of the regiment draw their personnel, were struck with the neat and orderly appear- ance of the camp itself, while the military bearing of the men brought (to memory camps during the war period when the Active Militia was undoubtedly at its highest point of efficiency. Senior officers present complimen- ted Captain Pearson and his offi- cers on the high state of discipline which manifested itself throughout the camp period, and the conduct of the troops under canvas, in spite bof difficult weather conditions, is re- ported to have been most excellent. The camp "hroke up" on Monday afternoon, "A" and "B" Companies returning to this city in the early evening while "C" and "D"" Com- panies returned to their own head: quarters at Whitby and Canning- ton.

Horn, Correspondent) Hampton, July 31, -- One of Garton's comfortable buses made an ideal conveyance for the pic- nic party of about thirty of our young people, who thoroughly en- joyed themselves on Thursday at Toronto, picnicing in the beauti- ful and spacious grounds at Kew Gardens. This is an ideal epot for such an outing, where one can enjoy baseball sports which are held in the basin, as it were, of the grounds, which is about the centre of the grounds and in a sunny hollow surrounded by oak trees, around which are plac- ed seats for those who are inter- ested in watching the various games. These grounds are sit- lated on Queen Street opposite Belle Fair St. and Church where it is quite convenient to take the street car to go anywhere in the city or enjoy the day on the beach, where hundreds of peo- ple enjoy daily, during the sum- mer, the two most enjoyable aquatic sports of swimming and boating. Parking space is pro- vided near to the grounds which are fitted up with tables and benches, which are a great con- venience to picnickers. The par- ty returned home feeling that the days' outing had been one that reached the climax of all other such outings, they had tak- en in the past, as a company of young people, Violet Petley, Toronto, is holi- daying with old friends and is guest of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Al- lin while in the village. Mr. W. G. Doidge is busy mak- ing repairs on his threshing out- fit, which by the appearance ot the grain fields, which are in most cases cut and the harvest being cared for, will be needed soon, the grain having ripened much sooner this year, owing to the very warm weather and oc- casional showers. Monday's rain hindered to some extent, once more, outdoor work but the weather conditions have proved much more favorable the last few days, being much ccoler and more. settled. The raspberry season is about ended and gooseberry and cur- rants also, have had their sea- son once again. Our busy miller C. E. Horn is having alterations made to the chopping machine which will prove more satisfactory in the future. The employees of the Bell Tel- ephone company of Oshawa en- joyed a picnic in the Park on Wednesday afternoon. C. BE Horn made a business trip ty, Oshawa on Wednesday. Hampton won from Solina in their softball game played at Solina on Tuesday night. The township grader was in operation on the Scugog road through the village on Wednes- day, assisting in the preparation for the pavement which wiil be laid later, Mrs. Geo. Barron visited Tor- onto friends on Thursday, accom. panying the young people on their outing to Kew Beach. WEDDINGS TAYLOR--FOOTE St. George's Anglican Church was "e scene of a very charming wedu on Saturday afternoon, Augus.. st. Thelma A., daughter of Mr. and Mrs, A. Foote, 26 King Street East, Oshawa, became the bride of William Taylor, son of Mr. and Mrs: Samuel Taylor, of Toronto. Rev. Canon dePencier performed the ceremony.

She was attended by a matron of honor, her sistér, Mrs. Fred Huffman and two bridesmaids, Misses Agnes and Edna Taylor, sisters of the groom. The bride's attendants were in period gowns of organdie, the matron of honor being in white and the others in pink and blue. Mr. "Pat" Gould was the groom's attendant. The wed- ding music was played by Mr. Matthew Gouldburn. Wedding guests were received at the conclusion of the ceremony at the home of the bride's par- énts, when Mr. and Mrs. Foote and Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Taylor received with the bridal party. The bride's mother wore a gown of figured chiffon, of which the predominant shade was Yellow and the groom's mother was in black satin and lace, i Late in the afternoon the young couple left on a wedding trip to New York and Atlantic City.

They will return to make their home in Oshawa. i Starkville Won Baseball Tourney Newcastle, (Special to The Times). -- The Community Park baseball tournament held here yesterday, was a great success from every point of view, a large érowd being in attendance and the total proceeds amounting to $135. boo erheem Four entries were received for the series of games, with the Starkville team finally proving the winners. In the first game Orono won from Kendal, the final score being 2-1 in favor of the former team. In the second game between Newcastle and Starkville the former won by a score of 14-3, The final game between Orono and Starkville ended with the score at 10-9 in favor of Stark- ville. This game was very close. ly contested and caused keen ex- citement, while there was some discussion among the supporters of Orono owing to the fact that the Biarkville team wag playing an "outside" battery, this was done with the approval of the of- ficlals of the tournament and'the decision wag adopted. WANT AFRIKAANS OFFICIAL FORMS Dutch-Speaking South Af- ricans Organized in Sup- port of Their Racial Tongue (By The Canadian Press) Cape Town, South Africa, July 1. -- "Kultuurday" is the name of a movement organized by the Dutch-speaicing community here, with a number of societies co- operating, for the encouragement of the use of Afrikaans instead of English. At a recent meetiag in the Cape Town City jlali to celebrate "Kultuurday" tha chair- man expressed gratitude at the fine support heing accorded the movement and requested all pres- ent to act according to a pamph- 'et distributed. This document urges Afrikaan- ers to speak: Afrikaans exclusive- ly: (a) in making telephone calls; (b) in dealing with any official or bank; (c) in sport; (d) in shopping; (e) in adressing stran. gers--using English, if this pro- ves necessary; (f) in speaking to professional men such as doctors; (z) in booking theatre seats; (h) in trains and all other public places as well as in the home. The pamphlet advises its read- ers to refuse any official form filled in through the medium of the English language, and to claim accounts, catalogues, adver- tisements and tickets on goods in Afrikaans. It says they should demand Afrikaans cheque books, forms and other docu- ments from banks. Professor M. C. Botha, Super- intendent General of Education, in a long speech, stressed the right of Afrikaanders to propa- gate their own language and cul. ture without incurring any sus- picion of enmity towards others. Nothing exclusive was intended. As an instance he advocated un- diminished attention by Af-ikoan- ders to all that constituted Eng- lish culture. It would be cutting their own throats if they neglec- ted this. He was also in favor of at least one modern language heing taught, in addition to the two official languages, at the schools. Moreover, Latina should rot be jettisoned. Dr. D. F. Malan, Minister of Education, pleaded for the devel- opment of natural diversity which he argued, was quite compatible with true unity. Everywhere, in the course of the evolutionary process, one saw new forms and species coming to life. There was a divine thought behind a'l this. Considering the severe handicap under which anything Afrikaans had labored, compared with the two older cultures in this country--English and High Duteh--its rapid rise was almost miraculous. " While emphasizing the great value of a national language, es- pecially as a cementing forco, Dr. Malan pointed out that if it were isolated ffom other cultural a- chievements, a language Would eventually become atrophied. He- brew, Latin, Greek, 'wera dead lahguages, and yet lived, because the nations that had used them 1ad enshrined in them their re- gnective cultural achievements, which still served as guiding stars to mankind. in different sphéves. It should therefore be their ob- ject ta achieve great things in science, art and other depart- ments of human endeavor.

P.R. bridge at the western lim- its of the town. Damage to the Whattan car amounted to about $75 and to the other about $15.- 00. Chief Constable Venton and Traffic Officer J. H. Hinchliffe, who investigated, stated that the car driven by Josepovitz came around the bend too fast and a charge of reckless driving was laid against him. Appearing be- fore Magistrate A. Campbell later in the day he pleaded guilty and was fined $10 and costs. Skids in Ditch Benjamin Springer, of Belle- ville, driving a Dodge sedan ap- plied his brakes on the highway rear Newcastle and skidded into the ditch. No reason was given fur his applying his brakes as vo other traffic was near at the time but the pavement was wet with rain. Considerable damage was done to the car. H.T.O, J. J. Hinchliffe investigated. A Life Saved 8. Stewart of Windsor wos found by Provincial Constable Smith, parked just off the high- way near Newcastle on Saturday in a serious condition. The man was evidently suffering a great deal of pain and he was immedi- ately rushed to the Bowmanville Hospital where Dr. W. H. Birks was called in. The man was suf- fering from a strangulating her. nia and an operation was per- formed just in time to save the man's life. The same man was parked on the highway on Thurs- day last and when spoken to by Traffic Officer Hinchliffe, aid not complain of sickness. When it was reported that he was still parked on the highway oa Sat- urday Constable .Smith investi- gated and found the man as stat- ed. Despite the heavy traffic there were no serious accidents in Bow- manville over the weck-end. From east to west the traffic came in a continua} stream from Friday night until late Sunday right and every bus seemed crowded to capacity. On the 9 p.m. bus to Toronto last even- ing, eight busses were required Lo carry the passengers. DIES AS RESULT "OF COLLISION David Johnson, Port Perry, Received Fatal Injuries in Crash North of Black- stock David Johnson, of Port Perry, died in the Oshawa General Hos- pital on Monday afternoon fol- lowing a crash with another car driven by Wm, C. Robinson near Blackstock at midnight on Satur- day. According to Pyovincial Officer W.

Wheat is ripening rapidly and lias been practically all in head for more than a week. : Mr. Walter plans to provide extra labor by cutting the more heavily cropped lands by binder, using about two crews of ten men. The lighter crop will be handled with a combine. He es- timates that while the 2,000.acre Hutterite area will average 20 bushels, 080 acres will yield ten acres better than the average. He was an orderly officer, and heard a complaint from his com- pany about the issue of bread.
