Tim Buck's name given promin- '| ence by the League in propagan- '| da distributed by the l.eague, the fact is very definitely established 4 in their minds that the League it- | self is affiliated with the Com- | munist Party. These men and women have no sympathy with the aims and objects of the com- munists and are, therefore, un- willing to support any organiza- tion which savors of communistic activities. It has also been learned by The Times that an effort is being made by the Oshawa Branch of the Canadian Labor Defense Lea- gue, to have Tim Buck visit this city, for the purpose, presumably, of addressing a meeting of the local branch, S. Elliott, 302 French Street, crganizer of the Canadian Labor Detense League in Oshawa denied the assertion that the League le affiliated with the Communists when in conversation with The Times this morning, and also de- nies that Tim Buck holds any of- fice in the League, or is coming to Oshawa to speak. SAYS WOMEN HAVE BETTER TASTE FOR COLOR THAN HEN Kiwanians Heard Interest- ing Talk on the Science of Color Women have a much better taste in selecting colors than men, and are more dependable in this respect, because while onc man in every seven is what is known as color- blind, only one woman in every four hundred has the same optical defect. This was the assertion made at the Kiwanis Club weekly luncheon yes- terday by Charles Conquergood, 'managing director of the Canada Printing Ink Company, of Toronto, who. gave a very interesting illus- trated address on color, Using slides to illustrate his point, he ob- served that there are various schools of scientific thought 'with different. theories as. to color. The scientists studying light claimed that light was made up of red, blue 1 | and green, and that these three col- ors together made light, which was white, The chemist mixing pigments however: declared that red, green al blue mixed together made black, 3nd blu placed on the scientists the onus of -proving that black was ¢ | white. To the eye, however, a mix~ ture of blue, red and green appear- ed as a dull gray. Thus it was that a student coyld take three different |university courses which taught something about color, and find that t | they all taught something different. science of color, which was important to every man in business, growing rapidly, said the bind 8 and the next generation, cted, would be able to talk about color and color measurement eration was able to talk about pounds and ounces, His alntern slides, providing some int esting optical fests, we= keen- 'by the ns, and at the ae of the meeting hs pro- Jurther i interest by giving a number of t he members tests' for color-blindness.

Ontario Loan is Over-subscribed in Amazing Response by Public Toronto, Jan. 27.--Establish- ing a record for rapidity of public response, the - Province of On- tario $25,000,000 bond issue was over-subscribed two and a half times yesterday in a deluge of buying orders from all parts of the Dominion; In less than three hours after the bonds went on sale, the in- vestment houses and banks handling the fssue reported the entire sale of both the long and short-term debentures, Issues Snapped Up Expressing confidence in the province and ' Government by their eagerness to participate, the investing public reacted to the favorable interest rate of six per cent. by shaking loose their cash reserves and snapping up as much of both issues as they could afford. The $5,000,000 three-year bonds brought sub- scriptions amounting to $18,- 760,000, and the $20,000,000 five and one-half -per cent, 15- year bonds resulted in subscrip- tions totalling more than $45,- 000,000. These were the figures at a late hour last night and the total will be Increased by many more millions when mail orders are received today, it is claimed. Despite the fact that the Gov- ernment has -obtained two and a half times the amount it set out to raise, not a dollar more than $25,000,000 will be accepted, Hon. BE. A. Dunlop, provincial treasurer, sald last night. six per cent. Returns After Fifty Years But Fails to Find His Old Friends Just over fifty years ago, J. F. Hodder left Oshawa to seck fame and fortune elsewhere in Ontario. Yesterday he returned to the city for the first time since 1881 to look up same of his old friends, but he had a hard time finding any of them, Finally he came to the Times Office to look for Charles M. Mundy, president of The 7Vimes Publishing Company, whom he used to know as a boy, but even there he was disappointed, as Mr. Mundy was out of the city. J. F, Hodder is a son of the late George Hodder, who was one of the earliest of Oshawa's merchants, and had a general store on King rect West opposite the Central Hotel. In 1881 he went north to seek other interests, and in 1883 he was appointed customs collector at Port Arthur, Ontario, 'a position which bre held 32 years before retir- ing. He is now a member of the Port Arthur Public Utilities Com- mission, and is in old Ontario to at- tend the annual. convention of the Municipal Electrical Utilities As- sociation, When a young man in Oshawa, Mr. Hodder was somewhat of an athlete, and was a member of the championship 'lacrosse team which, over fitty years, defeated Brampton for the Dominion championshin. He was sorrow to learn that Ollie Se- bert, of Whitby, who was one of his team-mates on tHat team, had died last year. Oshawa, of course, has seen tre- mendous changes since he saw it last, he said, and was not like the same place at all. He remembered the coming to Oshawa, of the late Robert McLaughlin and the car- riage works, and was amazed at the development of that corhpany to the status of the General Motors ~of Canada, Limited. His only disap- pointment was that he had looked in vain for some of the friend of his, boyhood days. Speaking of conditions in the Port Arthur district, Mr. Hodder said they were not good at the pre- sent: time, as the paper mills were doir~ very little, and only a few men were employed in the bush cutting lumber, TO INVESTIGATE. 10S OF VESSEL Irregularities Are Charged in Connection With Pay- ment of Reparations A -- Ottawa, Jan, 27. -- Chief Jus- tice Horace Harvey of Alberta Su- preme Court has been appoiited 'commissioner with wide powers to investigate. all the circumstances surrou! he payment in April last of $71, 6 as-was reported in connection with the She. alleged loss of the "Gypsum Queen' , & three- musted Nova Scotia: vessel.

The most ontstanding safety record occurred in the pressed metal section of the stamping plant, where one of the most haz- ardons types of industrial work is carried out. One hundred and seventy-five men worked for 241,- 000 hours from December 13th, 1930, to December 10th, 1931, a period of 360 calendar days with- out a lost-time accident. A lost- time accident results in the in- jured employee being kept away from his work the balance of the shift in which he was burt. It was pointed out by execu- tives that in order to maintain this degree of safety there were a great number of factors that had to be co-ordinated. Mechani- cal conditions, supervision, dis- cipline, alert and willing men and prompt attentior to first aid are of great importance to safety per- formance. All departments at Oshawa of General Motors of Canada have decredsed the frequency of acci- dents 59 per cent and the gever- ity 74 per cent since 1929, The frequency of infection or blood- poisoning cases due to neglect of injuries has decreased 69. per cent since 1929. The latter im- provement was made hy attention to first aid at the time of the ac- cident.
