THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, JULY 9, 1940 = 2AGE THREE MOTION PICTURE HOUSES PREPARE WAR STAMP SALE Special Patriotic Presenta- ticn Across Canada on July 15 ) one outside of the committee has any idea of the mag- mitude or the work involved in the [Motion Picture Industry's Win the ar Campaign for the sale of War Bavings Stamps in co-operation with jhe Dominion Government through holding of special patriotic per- nances in all theatres across the ooun Monday, July 15, at 830 No less than 650,000 complimen- . tickets have been distributed Among the 1,300 moving picture theatres, this number being the ap- 1 te combined seating capacity in Canada, Close to $1,000,000 worth of war savings stamps are being sent 'the theatres by the War Savings Committee at Ottawa a, the post offices in every city and town which has a "movie". A thousand film trailers announc- ing the free show on July 15 have been shipped to all parts of the country while several thousand man- uals, giving campaign instructions and suggestions, are in the hands of theatre proprietors and mana- gers. There are a dozen national commitiees at work on their re- spective duties while regional cam- committees are busy in 15 cities. As many as 35 people, loaned for the purpose by theatre com- panies and film exchanges, have been occupied with details at the headquarters in Toronto. All this, and more too, is being done at the expense of the film in- dustry so that no deduction will be made for expenses from the pro- ceeds of the sale of war savings stamps, every cent of which will-be collected by Federal Government representatives and branch bank ers to aid in Canada's war ffort when the patriotic shows are held. To do this, the industry is donating theatres for the whole evening, the latest screen attrac- tions have been made available without cost, theatre staffs and talent have donated their services while various companies have pro- vided tickets, film trailers, accessor- fes, stationery and other supplies without charge in order to help the national cause. All that the public is asked to do is to buy at least two 25c war savings stamps at a theatre box office for which he will receive a complimentary ticket for L free show at 8.30 o'clock on the night of July 15th to help Canada win the war. PIE. D-82233 IS HEIR TO MILLIONS He's Warren L. Rand, Son of U.S. Industrialist -- Training at Borden Camp offic] Borden, Ont. July 9.-- Wearing the red hackle of the Black Watch, Pte. Warren L. Rand stepped out of colonist car. Clad in heavy battle dress instead of the cool gabardine to which he is ac- customed, this scion of one of the United States' wealthiest families has swung into the ranks of Cana- da's active service force. | He came from Aldershot, N.S. He shares a double-decker bunk in a hut at the Canadian armored fight- ing vehicles training centre instead of a room to himself in the family mamsion at West Hartford, Con- necticut. The training he is to get will fit him to be a first-class truck driver 'when he returns to civil life. To only a few of his comrades is Pte. Rand known as the son of F. 8. Rand, the U.S. industrialist. To the men with whom he eats, sleeps, and works, he is another young American who has come to join up in Canada, ' "Dad owns the factories, but don't say much about that" he sald. "Publicity goes against the grain in the family. Mother hasn't been very happy over my joining up. She agrees with-my ideals, but she hated to see me give up col- Why He Left College . Because he believes that the United States are "technically" at war, Warren Rand left college at Middlebury, Vermont. One month in the Canadian army has put him into excellent condition. He likes it. He hopes to work up through the remks and win a commission. But that he expects will come when the Black Watch gets into action overseas. ' ' "You meet all sorts of chaps," he sald. "I've been writing some of my experiences. English was my major subject at college. The | paper back home is going to use Some of my stuff on the life of an American rookie with the Cama- , 8. college men like himself, says, are coming more and to the beilef that the United tes will soon be in these fight- ing. U.S. universities are giving more military training. At the time he enlisted, Rand re- with him were college stu- from Williams, Colgate and bury. "Like himself, they | Went into the ranks. " Rand receives $1.30 per day as a Private. Thoughts of the comfort- able existence he renounced to join army are far from his mind. 4 like to have his car, but like most of his fellow privates, he knows how to get along without one. Instead of depending on a garage, he will be taught how to do repairs on his vehicle. As a Bren carrier man, he must learn how to keep a vehicle going into and out of action. Pte. Rand, W. L. (D-82233) thinks he is going to learn some- thing worth while. DOCTORS STUDY ECLAMPSIA CURE Co-operation With Weather Forecasters Renders Aid Say Experts San Francisco, July 9.--Co-opera- tion between physicians and weat.. - ed forecasters should help protect expectant mothers against the se- vere and occasionally fatal convul- sions which cometimes accompany late pregnancy, two scientists re- ported Saturday. A study by Dr. Paul C. Fuerstner, University of California gynecolo- gist, and Frederick Sargent, meteor- ologist of the Massachusetts Insti- tute of Technology, showed that in most of these cases, technically called eclampsia, the convulsions developed within two days after pronounced weather changes. Near one-third of the cases oc- curred between 40 and 50 hours after a "cold front" had passed over the local of the study, in this case Chicago, where meteorological chan- ges develop in quck succession. A cold front is that portion of a mov- ing mass of cold air which meets & mass of relatively warm air and usually causes rain or storm condi- nouns, Thirteen per cent of the cases followed the passage of a "warm front" over Chicago. A warm front is the dividing line between an advance mass of warm fir and. a receding mass of cold air. The weather change is more gradual than in the case of the cold front and it usually causes temperziures to rise and air pressure to de- crease. The report, published in detail in The Journal of Laboratory and Clinical Medicine, that wezther shifts caused eclamp- sia. Its authors said the cause of eclampsia was not known definite- ly. However, the number of con- vulsion cases has decreased since physicians began treating expectant mothers who show early signs of the condition. "It should be possible," the re- searchers said "to work out prac- tical prophylactic (preventive) mea- sures against eclamptic convulsions from weather changes. "A well-organized service for pre- natal care should pezy attention to | the weather. "Imminent 'front' passages are known to the official weather bu- reau early enough to be communi- | cated to pre-natal services." x TUNNEY GROUP made no claim | QUITS CONGRESS Charges Communist Controlled-- To Form New Group Lake Geneva, Wis.,, July 9.--The American Youth Congress was com- mitted Saturday to a policy on sup- port for national defence and non- intervention in foreign wars. A long debate preceding adop- tion Saturday night of the defence regulation, 38 to one, provided the liveliest session of the annual meeting which began on Wednes- dery. For congress delegates . it dwarfed the "revolt" movement of a group of about 75 young "pro- Americans" who had the personal backing of Gene Tunney, former heavyweight boxing champion, The defence resolution noted, however, that "we are opposed to all proposals for compulsory mili- tary training or conscription or for un-American regimentation of youth in compulsory labor camps." A second resolution under de- bate proposed "continuance of ma- terial aid, short of sending an expeditionary force, to the forces resisting the onward march of Hit- lerism." After the overwhelming vote for the first resolution, it was withdrawn. The Tunney-backed faction, re- fused seats as A.Y.C. delegates, charged the youth congress = was "Communist controlled" and indi- cated it would establish a new "pro-American" organization. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SUBJECT "God" was the subject of the Les- son-Sermon for First Church of Christ, Scientist, 64 Colborne Street East on Sunday. The Golden Text was, "Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanks- giving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever gad ever. Amen." (Revelation 7:12). Selections from the Bible included the following from John 4:24, "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and | in truth." Correlative citations from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Serip- tures", by Mary Baker Eddy, includ- ed the following from page 140: "We worship spiritually, only as we ceese to worship materially. Spiri- tual devoutness is the soul of Christianity." Worshipping through the medium of matter is paganism.' | in the same manner as they make Youth Congress' .| years ago Phineas T.

Every Canadian, no matter what his job and no matter from what source his income is derived, must pay the tax, provided, of course, that the amount of his income is in excess of the -600 and $1,200 min- ima established for single and mar- ried persons, respectively. The great proportion of the tax will be collected from the income at its source--that is collected by employers who virtually become as- | sessors for the government. But in the case of professional men--doctors, lawyers, dentists and the like--who are not in receipt of tended. Capacity houses are the rule. Movie players go 'to it time and again. Boris Karloff has at- tended 27 performances, W. C. Fields 15, Constance Collier 21, Edward Arnold 12. The theatre mart is like an old- fashioned music hall, audience | seated at tables, partaking of beer, coffee, sandwiches and cake, pro- vided by singing walt singing waitresses. CAMPAIGN OF RED SHIELD OVER TOP. +. from Toronto's crowded downtown Latest Returns Show Total of $1,257,541 for the Dominion The Salvation Army War and Home Service Campaign, while by no means completed in all the cen- tres of organization in the Domin- jon, will reach well over the objec- tive of One Million Dollars for the Dominion of Canada. Reports from British Columbia record Vancouver as having reached $90,000.00 and Victoria $23,000.00. | Secretary, These latest returns show an estl- | regular salaries and who do not | know until the year's end what their | earnings may be, the tax will be collected annually. They will be required to make a return of the amount of their income taxable at two per cent, before April 30 next their ordinary income tax returns. Another aspect of the defense tax is that it will relieve the Income Tax Department of examining a great mass of returns from those not liable to payment of tax. The de- partment ruled to-day that the large body of wage earners--estim- ated at 600,000--whose salaries are between $1200 and $1,500, will not be required to make income tax returns if the defense tax is collect- ed by their employers. The income tax law requires that all persons in receipt of incomes shall make returns, but in the case of those earning sufficient to be liable for the defense tax but not enough to pay income tax; the de- fense tax return will be accepted as sufficient. OLD NELODRAMA DRAWING CROWDS Play : "The Drunkard" 'is Performed Nightly -- Started in 1933 " Hollywood, July 9.--Ninety-seven \ sented in his American museum a morality melodrama he called "The Drunkard." It did not run very long. Tonight, in this movie capital where writers and producers con- tinuously scratch their heads for something new, or for some new twist to something old, this old, simple melodrama goes into its 2,558th consecutivegightly perform- ance of a revival It Bell started July 6, 1933. Seven members of the 1033 cast & 14 will be in their usual places, beginning the eighth 'year of seven evening shows a week. Starting on 'a shoéstring, with less capital than the weekly income from the 330-seat theatre mart, this little show has comfortably supported its family-like staff of 45 persons for seven years. There have been 14 marriages in the show family since it began, and two children have been born. Pioneers of the show are Sam Ethridge, Alda Lilly, Tom Miller, Larry Grenier, Jan Duggan, George Stuart and Helen Schwan- ner. "The Drunkard" is one of South- ern California's institutions.

A large Hostel for Canadian Ser- vicemen has been opened recently by Mr. Vincent Massey, the High rCommissioner for the Dominion in London, England, the Hostel being situated at 101 Southampton Row. The Toronio Hostel will be open- ed shortly and also a Hostess Home, which will be located at 480 Jarvis Street. This Home will have ac- commodation for visiting relatives of servicemen. The much extended War Service Programme, which it has been nec- essary for the Army to undertake, will make much need for funds and the generosity of the public, as chown in the splendid response in the War and Home Service Cam- paign, will help greatly, but the in. creased funds subscribed, and much more, will be required if the Army is to fill all the calls for service pouring in upon it. - Senator Arthur Meighan, P.C, K. C., the National Campaign Chair- man, and Commissioner B. Orames, Territorial Commander of The Sal- vation Army, desire to emgress hearty thanks for the splendid sup- port given to the Red Shield Appeal which, because of the eTornwus number of small gifts, proved to be a true reflection of the confidence of the Canadian people in the $al- vation Army War Service.

This year the need is just as great £5 ever, accord- ing to F. N. Stapleford, General but the problem of get- ting needy children out into the country for a much needed holiday grows increasingly difficult. Last year more than 1200 city children were invited to the country by kindly hostesses, living within a radius of 150 miles of Toronto. Many of the children were kept for more than. the stipulated period of two weeks. The Neighborhod Workers Association provided all transporta- tion costs, and had thé children me- cically examined before leaving the city. This year, with the vast majority of Canadisn women engaged in war service of various kinds, and with the arrival of children from over- seas, invitations are much slower coming in. Officials of the Neighborhood Workers Association point out the extreme importance of keeping up the morale and health of needy fernilies during this period of emo- tional stress and strain. "Any ser- vice which aims to build up the Canadian home front is invaluable to the Empire at this time, and women who feel able to take two or three city children into their home this summer are helping to play their pext," Mr. Stapleford points out. . Many of the children on the N.W. A's., waiting list are the sons and daughters of men now serving over- | seas with the Canadian forces. Many soldiers' wives are struggling to maintain large families on a lithited budget which does not allow for holidays -- no matter how badly needed. According to the Country Homes Department, childfen from six te twelve years of age are waitthg to be invited to the land of green fields and blue skies.
