THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1931 PAGE THREE | Bowmanville Daily Times * Representative's Phone No. 53 BOWHANVILLE TO HAVE POPPY DAY Veterans Plan Campaign to Raise Funds For Needy Families On Saturday, November 7th, the Bowmanville Branch of the Canadian Legion will stage their annual Poppy Day appeal to the residents of the town. One of the principles of the Tanadian Le- gions is founded on the belief that the finest way to honor the heroic dead is to take care of the dependents of the dead and the disabled veterans and thelr de- pendants. With this in mind the local branch of the Legion is completing plans for the annual Poppy Day Campaign in which it hopes to realize a sufficient sum to take care of all needy veteraris in Bowmanville. By means of the fund the Legion is able to take care of many families whose cir- cumstances require special atten- tion, thus, not only making sure the Legion is keeping faith with the comrades who did not come back but helping to relieve the municipality of a part of the re- lief burden it is required to carry, The officers of the branch seek the hearty co-operation of every citi- zen of Bowmanville in their cam- paign so that their work may be continued without hindrance. Major Frederick Moody is the chairman of the committee in charge of the campaign and a willing band of workers have promised to assist on that day. In addition plans are now going ahead for the ceremonies at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Day at which it is expected that min- isters of all churches will take part and Rev, C. R. Spencer, the padre of the Tocal branch, will give the address. Mayor Elliott and the town council, the Boy Scouts, school children, and a massed choir from all churches are expected to take part..

M. Forsyth, proved to be a genial host. His tamily worked hard from morning until night to entertain the con- testants and their helpers, and some idea of the magnitude of their task may be had from the. fact that at noon they fed over two hundred persons. ; They had not anticipated such a crowd, but they proved equal to the task which confronted them. Incidentally, it may be noted that it is sixty years since a plowing match was held in the township, and it was held on the same farm. The work of the various plowmen was of a very high character. Men who have followed matches for many years were agreed on this point. Certainly, in South Ontario at least, plowing is not a lost art. Another outstanding feature of the match was the banquet served in the evening by the Women's In- stitute in the Community Hall, when over three hundred were fed. The menu was all that could be desir- ed and many favorable comments were held. After the supper ad- journment was taken to the hall upstairs, where Mr, G. M. Forsyth presided over a gathering which tax- ed the hall to its capacity. In ad- dition to the presentation of prizes by Secretary-Treasurer Croxall, brief but appropriate addresses were made by J. Lockie Wilson, super- intendent of Fairs in the Ontario Department of Agriculture, W. H. Moore, M.P. for Ontario Riding, W. M. Croskery, Ontario County agri- cultural representative; Mr. E. Eck- hardt, prominent Toronto manufac- turer; Reeve G. Luther Middleton, of Pickering Township, and James H. Ormiston, editor of the Whitby Gazette and Chronicle and repre- sentative of the Oshawa Daily Times. All of the speakers con- gratulated the Association on the success of the match. The domin- ant keynote of most of the address" Les was that farmers should have ample reward for their toil and heavy investments, and that while tillers of the soil in the great open spaces of the country werehard hit in the present depression, they must have faith and courage to sustain them until the better days dawn. These, the speakers were agreed, were not far away. During the evening Mr. Goddard, of Balsam, prominent farmer and reader, delighted the audience with his interpretation of some of the works of Robert W. Service, poet of the Yukon.

TORONTO MAN 13 GUILTY OF ARSON (Continued from page 1) which the accused said he broke to gain entrance, but which the firemen who gave evidence said they had to break to get to the fire. Therefore, {if Greer were telling the truth he must have fixed the lock after leaving the house. With regard to the evidence of the firemen concerning the char- acter of the fire, His Worship said that they were to be believed make the match a success. The. women folks were out in large numbers. 'receive as they had experience in that line. The fact brought out by them, that the fire was cen- tralized on the floor in hollows in the planks would tend to show that some combustible matter had been used. "Fires don't start by themselves in vacant houses," His Worship asserted, Yet it was usual that intendiary fires started in vacant hous2s as they were bringing in no revenue and a fire with insurance usually brought in ready money. Finds Greer Guilty Taking everything into consid- eration and giving the accused the benefit of every possible doubt, His Worship said he could not come to any other conclusion than that the fire was set by Greer. His Worship further stated that he had made enquir- fes and learned that it was very rarcly that insurance companies took advantage of the vacanacy clause' in their policies in case where the vacanacy was only several days over the specified limit. There was nothing in the evidence to show that Greer had not intention to collect the in- surance. Crown Attorney J. A. McGib- bon, in his remarks to the bench asserted that the pemalty for such offenses was most severe. The ac- cused he said had no record, He asked that the accused be re- manded for a week for sentence. Appeal for Leniency A. C, Hall, counsel for the ac- cused, stated that Greer was 19 years old and was the only one in a family of eight that was working. All his earnings with the exception of his own needs went toward helping the family. It would impose more of & hard- ship on the family than upon the accused if he were sent to jail. Mr. Hall stated that he had been in conversation with the employer of Greer, and learned that he handled between $500 and $1,000 a day and no ques- tion had' ever been raised as to his honesty. Mr. Hall asked that suspended sentence be imposed, as he felt that Greer had learned his lesson. If suspended sentence were not imposed, he asked that a nominal sentence be given. HEETING FAVORS COMMITTEE PLAN (Continued from page 1) Associated Welfare Societies and ghd tribute to Miss Farncombe and iss Jackson on the splendid work they were doing. Mr. Harvey re- viewed the methods adopted in Tor- onto. Making suggestions which he thought might prove helpful, Mr.. Harvey told of how, in Toronto last winter groups of twenty people, liv- ing on the same streets had combin- ed to pay a man 75 cents a week cach, for cleaning away their snow and looking after their furnaces. This had provided work for a num- ber of men, gnd he felt this was worth organizing. Mr. Harvey also strongly advocat- ed some scheme of unemployment, but said it must be kept free of the abuses which had crept into the British system, and must be contri- butory. He felt, however, that the employers of labor should bear a large share of the burden, Situation Jrupedyiniy Mr. Haryey said that he believed the general situation had improved materially in the last two or three weeks, and tat he thought this im- provement would continue. "Right-to-Live" Bill Thomas S. Aikman, who followed Mr. Harvey, proposed a scheme for social legislation which he called a "Rieht-to-Live Bill'. His proposal was that every married man should 00a week while employ- ed, plus $2 for every child. He also advocated a minimum wage of $25, a week for married men and $15.00 a week for boys and girls, for a for- ty hour week, of five days of eight hours each. In. addition to scales of sickness benefit, he proposed for the workers, free medical care, hos- pital treatment and medicine, He suggested that this be financed by the creation of a fund te which em- ployees, employers, municipalities and governments would all contri bute. Building Scheme F. W. Watkinson put forward a scheme for building small homes of three homes and a sun room, which could be sold to young couples on the basis of rent, so that they would own them outright in five years, This scheme, he said, could be fin- anced by the government, und would greatly stimulate activity in the building trade, A resolution re- ferring a resolution dealing with this project to a committee for consider- ation was passed later in the even- ing. Various other ideas were expres- sed by speaker, and a resolution was passed naming a small committee to consider proposals for the formation of a local employment counéil, and also to consider plans for making the fruit and vegetables going to waste in the rural districts available to the workless Oshawa families, Among those who spoke along these lines were A. J. Graves, A, J. Tier- ney, S. A. Carnell, and M. McIntyre ood, At the close of the meeting, a cordial expression of thanks to Mr. Cragg and the official board of King Street United -Church was passed, coupled with a request that further meetings of the same kind be held. MACDONALD SEES KING ON RETURN T0 THE CAPITAL (Continued from page 1) the room, Rt. Hon. J. H. Thomas appeared _to be the happiest of the lot, $ir Herbert Samuel came straight from his victory at Dar- win, and most of the others from their constituencies. No Party Victory London, Oct, 29,--"This is no party victory," declared Rt. Hon. Stanley Baldwin, Conservative leader, last night, "It is an em- phatic declaration by the people as a whole in favor of national co-operation in order to restore the fortunes of the country. Democracy has justified {itself in the most striking fashion and the patriotic instincts of our people have been revealed in all their strength." Mr. Baldwin last night was speaking not merely as the lead- er of the Conservative party, but ag the second-in-command of a Government which had just amassed the most overwhelming majority the House of Commons has seen in modern times, With the results of Tuesday's general election virtually complete, the National Government--Conserva- tives, National-Labor and Nation- al Liberal---was assured a major- ity of 500 over all other parties combined. Says Result a Mockery The Labor party representa- tion in the House had shrunk from 270 to 50. Rt, Hon. Arthur Henderson, new parliamentary leader of the Labor party, who lost his own seat in Burnley, sald: "The victory establishes an overwhelming Tory suprem- acy, The new House of Commons will be a mockery of democratic parliamentary representation and from the standpoint of the gen- eral national Interests there is a danger of disaster." With only five results to come, the party standing following the general elections is as follows: Total Government, 550; total Op- position, 60, The National Government will meot Parliament outnumbering the Opposition by ten to one. Probably never in British history has any Government won so twice as large as the majority sweeping a majority, It is almost won by Mr. David Lloyd George's coalition in the famous coupon election of 1918, The nearest approach was the Liberal major- ity of 3872, secured far back in 1832. Gives Assurance Prime Minister Ramsay Mac- Donald last night issued a mes- sage to the nation, thanking "millions of persons of all par- ties who for the moment subor- dinated party' feelings and is- sues to the pressing national needs." "A majority unique as it is gratifying which was given to- day must convince the whole world that when this country calls for assistance willing hands and devoted minds will always respond heartily," the message sald, "We appealed for a demonstra- tion of national unity, The re- sponse has been far beyond the dreams of the most enthusiastic of us. "To my political friends who have suffered such unusual re verses, and especially to those of them who with splendid faith and courage backed our appeal and helped to swell our victory. I give assurance that our triumph will in no way mean that either the interests or the point of view of the working classes will be overlooked. in the perform- ance of the task before us." BENNETT'S IDEA IS WELCOMED IN BRITISH CAPITAL (By The Canadian Press) London, Oct. 29.--Premier Ben- nett's suggestion of an early con- vocation of the adjourned Imper- 'jal economic conference was wel- comed warmly in London business circles today, Viscount Eliban, chairmon of the federation of British Empire Chambers of Com. merce, said, "Never have trade a- greements been more urgently ne- cessary and never have conditions been more favorable, considering the economic stress from which all parts ofthe empire are suffer- ing.'

Dog Started Rumors Kingston. -- Monday morning found a tale of a robbery at the Picton Woodworking Co. Various versions of the story were heard on every side. The police went over to investigate. The culprit proved to be a very innocent young dog, who it is alleged, had gotten in during the day and could not find a way out, After rampaging around, the worried animal finally broke his way to freedom through a window, and thus gave rise to the varied re- ports of robbery. / Stores Broken Into Cornwall.--Despite the fact that special constables were on patrol in addition to regular police, Cornwall's week-end burglars made their third haul on Sunday night, For the past three week- ends, business places and resi- dences of the city have been en- tered and food, money and small articles stolen, Goods and cash to the value of $70.were stolen from McHaflle"s drug store, and ciga- rettes were taken from Stanford and Kennedy's tobacco shop.

Picked Dahlia Belleville.--A large dahlia of a deep pink shade, was picked from the garden of Mr. Harold Newby on Monday, The blossom had been sheltered from the hailstorm, and its beautiful quality and appear- ance is most unusual this time of year, Children Sang Splendidly Kingston.--At the Women's In. stitute Convention in the LaSalle Hotel, Oct, 22, one of the much enjoyed features of the evening program was the singing of fifty children from Sydenham, Glen- burnie, Sunbury, Westbrook and Woodbine schools, under the die rection of Miss Flora Sproule, The Sunbury, Woodbine and Wesgt- brook school boards finance the music.

DISCARD OF GOLD BASIS IS FAVORER Prof. Day Points to | Methods of Stabilizing Trade Montreal. -- Stability of pure chasing power of the monetary unit instead of adherence to the goid standard was held up ree «cently as the likely financial ideal of the future by Dr, J. P, Day, associate professor of ecos romics at McGill University, speaking before the Young Men's Canadian Club, at the Queen's Hotel, It is not at all certain = and not necessarily desirable that the gold standard should be ree stored, he said, If it is brought back, it must be through the ag~ tion of the United States and France in voluntarily bringing' down the purchasing power of their own money by relaxing credit, Three courses of action' are open to Britain, said Prof. Day, The first is to reduce credit to her own people and force price ievels down until sterling ré- gains its old dollar parity of $4.» 86 2-3, That process is too long and too dangerous, he said, even it it were definitely worth while, which is not sure, The second plan would be to reduce the gold oquivalent of the pound sterling to parity with its dollar value; . for instance, if the pound steadies = at a dollar value of $4, to reduce its gold content to this figure al= 80. This involves wiping out ap+ proximately one-fifth of the value of sterling holdings. The third course open is to abandon the gold standard alto- gether, to cease worrying wheths er the pound can be exc 0 for gold or dollars at a stable rate and to bend all energies on maintaining a stable purchasing value, ; If other countries did the sa cnt themselves away from g and the dollar, he said, a bloe¢ of trading countries with curs rencies geared to sterling we grow up. In this way it wou be possible to achieve stabi of the purchasing power of monetary unit, Referring to the immediate ture in England, Prof. Day stati that the holding of an elect at such a time as this was a mi take, but that victory for National Government offered soundest hope for the future, danger, he pointed out, is that victorious National Governm would embark on a career tariff building which ¢ scarcely fail to be almost ai trous. hh ha he Ottawa.--Rt, Rev.
