THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, JULY. 12, 1940 PAGE THREE" INTARIO PLOT HONG MISSING PAD WAY OVER Smithville Man Wrote Par- ents Frequently -- Got Training in St. Catharines Smithville, July 12.--There may be no more letters coming to Mr. and Mrs. Walter Adams, here, tell- ing how their flying son hes raided | German bases and munition dumps Germany. . The son, Pilot Officer Lloyd S. \ who went over to England "as the result of air opera- s, "with his pal, John y ook thelr first sir instruction | 'at the 8t. Catharines and Hamilton Flying Clubs, and paid their own way to England to join the RAF. Pilot Officer Adams was 25. He received his education at the Smithville Public School, and his senior matriculsiion at the Smith- ville High School. He was connected with flying five years previous to 'the outbreak of war. On the 18th of November, 1038. he crossed the Atlantic to join the Royal Air Force and was accepted in Decemhly, 1938. Earlier the war he went on several ts to Germany to drop leaflets, also participated in day and bing raids on German bases, uding Sylt. BRITONS PLEASED AT APPOINTMENT Satisfaction General as Windsor Named Bahamas' Governor London, July 12. -- The British press and public exhibited satis- faction at the appointment of the Duke of Windsor as governor and commsmder-in-chief of the Ba- hamas. The news apparently appealed to the romantic side of most Brit- ishers, who saw their former king in the Yole of good will ambassador to the new world. Newspapers published long de- scriptions, accompanied by maps, of the islands off the Florida coast where the duke and his American- born duchess, the former Mrs. Wallis Warfield Simpson, will reside. The Mail pictured the Bahamas as "isles of pirate gold" and the d of rich Americans. An Exchange Telegraph News Agency dispatch from Nassau said the population of the islands welcomed the duke's appointment with en- thusiasm. The only editorial comment ap- in The Times, which sald: "The West Indies as a whole may well receive the news as full of welcome significance at a time when events in Europe and the friendly interest of their great neighbor in the north have demon- strated their high importance in the international reckoning." The duke and duchess are now in Lisbon, Portugal, to which they fled last month from their home jn Prance ahead of the Nazi in- vasion. It wss presumed they would go directly to the Bahamas, although tire date of their departure was not disclosed. The duke will succeed Sir Charles Cecil Farquharson Dundas, who will become governor of the Unfamda Protectorate in Africa. The Bahamas, some 30 miles off the Florida coast, includes 20 in- habited islands with a population of 67,720, and numerous small, un- inhabited islands and rocks. Strawberry Bait Latest Bass Lure Peterboro, July 12 -- Although they are a favorite lure for church lawn socials, strawberries are not usually regarded as suitable bait for fish, But at Buckhorn Lake, north of Peterboro, they do the trick. Mrs. C. F. Kindall, of Montreal, and a friend had each landed five nice bass when the supply of crabs and frogs which they were using as bait gave out. Mrs, Kindall sug- baiting the hooks with straw- ges left over from lunch, and "pelieve it or not, within a few min- utes both anglers had a complete string. Frumpiest Woman In Oshawa Gets Best Dressed Vote You remember her--the woman who never bothered about her ap- pearance--who got to thinking no one ever looked at her anyway. ' Look at her now! She's smart-- 'ghic--up-to-the-minute -- and now ghe's the best dressed woman in A friend decided something could "Be done about that woman's ap- . She reasoned that if one : io in her wardrobe could up, the rest would follow ically. So she started with She shoes and--you've guessed it-- she herto use Nugget Shoe Polist -- the polish that preserves 85 it shines, And the rest was easy! Six Capture Heifer Which Runs Amok Peterboro, July 12 -- Crazed by the heat, 3 two-year-old heifer gave bystanders a few anxious moments Wednesday when it ran amok while being transferred from the city scales to g waiting truck, smashing a steel gate from its hinges in the process. The heifer was captured by half a dozen men with ropes, who sub- dued it by placing a sack over its head. In the meantime Police Con- | stable Archie Menzies stood by with a loaded rifle, "just in case." TEXAS BORDER "FIRE SERPENT" [5 SUGGESTED Would Pour Oil in Riq Grande and Set it Afire When State Attacked Austin, Tex., July 12--A fiery serpent of burning Texes ofl wrig- gling 1,185 miles from El Pasc to the Gulf of Mexico is the latest de- fense idea of Texans who gety about possible land invasions by enemies crossing the Rio Grande. Jerry Sadler, Texas railroad com- missioner, sponsors the proposal to pour oil in the Rio Grande end set it afire if an attack occurs. "If only 10 wells would {urn loose oil into the Rio Grande it would be impossible for any invad- ing army to cross the river. This oil, when set ablaze, would shoot flames hundreds of feet high and would continue to burn fiercely as long as the oil flowed into the river," Sadler, one of the three members of the Texas oil industry regulatory body, explained. Other suggestions coming before Sadler's have been; a barbed wire | fence along the Rio Grande. "Elec- trify the fence," suggested another. A concrete pill box every hundred | yards. Flood lights every 10 yards (like night baseball). Yates Field Nea Although there are numerous oil fields in the southern tip of Texas, Sadler counts on the famous Yates pool to feed his military furnace Yates field had a 24-hour potential yield of about 800,000 barrels. Located in West Texes, about 240 | miles east of El Paso, Sadler says this field would be tapped by pipe- lines running to the river. A line already runs down to Del Rio, with- in three miles of the river bank. Its capacity is 40,000 barrels every 12 hours if equipped with booster stations at grades. This line could be tapped 17 miles north of Lang- try to pour crude oil into the Rio Grande, upriver from Del Rio. Anther oil pipe line runs paral- lel to the Rio Grande at a distance of about 70 miles-- which is no dis- tance to Texans. After rounding the rugged wil- derness of the Big Bend, the Rio Grande cuts north to within 70 miles of the Yates Pool itself, be- fore slanting back to the southeast Sexller says another spigot could be put there. Preferably, he sug- gests running pipe lines parallel to | the river and feeding a serpent of fire through strategically placed feeder lines, Gas Pressure Heavy The Yates pool is the perfect res- ervoir, he points out, not only be- cause of its enormous supply of oil, but because there is a terrific gas pressure that eliminates need for pumping. The field is located at an elevation of about 2,600 feet. The Rio Grande at Langtry is at elevation 1,315 feet. Sadler isn't particularly worried about a motor- ized enemy crossing over through the Big Bend region where the Rio Grande has cut St. Helena Canyon 1,516 feet deep and Mariscal Can- yon 1,675 feet. A Feeding his fire line between the Big Bend of the Rio Grande and El Paso seems feasible to Sadler because there is another pipeline running from the midst of Winkler County's 14 bil fields -- north of Yates -- to El Paso. ~ GOLD PRODUCTION INCREASE IS DUE New Wealth To Be Created in Canada May Total : $200,000,000 Ottawa, July 12 -- Two hundred million dollars of new wealth will be created in Canada this year from gold production, according to esti- mates and information given the Department of Mines and Resourc- es In the recent budget speech, when referring to war problems such as exchange, thé Minister of Finance appealed for more gold and there are signs of response already. Last year the value of gold pro- duction was $184,000,000. Over a 20-year period the annual increase has been ten per cent. and it is calculated that without difficulty the $200,20,000 mark will be ex- ceeded. Four or five new mines are coming into production and the out- put of the older ones is being main- tained. Some of the latter will con- centrate particularly on high grade deposits which, of course, will be more productive of gold. Ordin- arily the deposits are taken as they come, . "HONE GUARDS" AND GUN CLUBS NOT DESIRABLE Ralston Says Government's Policy is to Train Men Through Militia Units Ottawa, July 12.--Military trein- ing through the non-permanent ac- tive militia rather than through home guards or civilian rifle asso- ciations has become the established policy of the Liberal Administration. Hon, J. L. Ralston, Minister of National Defense, disclosed in the House of Commons Wednesday his belief that there is no justification for the formation of home guards or civilian rifle associations. His statement came in response to the suggestion by T. L. Church( Cons., Broadview), who said that since hunting was such popular sport in the Dominion, Canada should be a nation of men who could handle a rifle with accuracy. But, he con- tended, the reverse was the fact and "Canadians as a whole are quite ignorant of the use of a rifle and most would be helpless with one in their hands. Mr. Church suggested department should concentrate firs! on the organization of training in miniature rifle ranges. It would cost little, he said, for Canada to become a nation with a large reserve of men who know how to handle a rifle ac- curately. But Mr. Ralston apparently found little merit in the suggestion. "It is my opinion," he said, "and the opin- jon of the officers of the depeart- ment that, having regard to the pol- icy which is being pursued of auth- orizing recruiting up to war strength | of the non-permanent active militia units, the formation of home guards for civilian rifle associations would not be justified for the purpose of teaching Canadians how to handle rifles." . EGYPT MOVES 70 HELP ARM BRITISH DNITS Would Turn Back Equip- | ment Loaned by Britain -- Attack Italian Bases Alexandria, July 12.--The Egyp- tian Ministry of National Defense said Wednesday the government wa considering turning back to British units certain army equipment loan- ed to Egyptian units. The statement was issued in de- nial of reports that the Egyptia army was being 4d, he Min- istry said f th? equipment would increase the sup- plies. of the British forces fighting on Egyptiem frontiers. The Royal Air Force issued the following communique Wednesday "Sidi Barrani was bombed yester- day by enemy aircraft slight damage and no casualties. A formation of Blenheims attéked a large .enemy petrol dump Tobruk, Direct hits were register- ed on the target. and large flames | were seen. "Several raids were carried out on Macaaca » e.rdrome and grounds. In the evening a direct hit was registered on one hangar, much black smoke resulting. "The following day the airdrome buildings were, bombed and several fires started, while another raid was carried by bombers supported by fighters. The latter degtroyed three CR-42's (Italian planes) on the ground by machine-gun fire, "All our aircraft returned safely from these operations. "Large formations of enemy air- craft raided Malta yesterday. Our fighters intercepted and shot down two in flames. A third probably was destroyed. Damage was slight. Casualties were one civilian killed, three injured, 20 goats and one bull killed."

The judgment «llowed the plaintiff's claim for the return. of $500 stated fo have been paid on account for cleaning machinery and equipment, and a further sum of $100 for deceit. It was stated that Johnson had agreed to purchase the machinery on the understanding that he would be permitted to keep the name "Parker," under which the business had been carried on until the plant was burned down last yes... Despite the assurances of a salesman. how- ever, this permission was later re- fused. Judge Smoke, referring to the evi dence of a Mr. Allbright, managing director of Canadian Pentex, de- clared: "I-have-no-hesitation-in conclud= ing and I find as a fact, that All- bright had full knowledge of the transaction, and that he stood idly and tacitly by, allowing his agen: to perpetrate this fraud upon the plaintiff. In so doing, the defendant has become liable for his agent's fraud." THRILLING ESCAPE MADE BY AIRMAN Saskatoon Flyer Landed In France Following Crash Hiked With Refugees Battleford, Sask., July 12.--Thrill- ing escape of Pilot Officer William Lewis, son of Dr. and Mrs. H.

REBURY KING TUT IN THREE COFFINS Minneapolis, July 12.--King Tut- Ankh-Amen, the boy pharoah of Egypt whose mummy wes disinter- red in 1922 from the tomb where it had laid for thousands of years to give the world many priceless srch- aeological finds, has gone back to his rest. Mrs. George Gibson, who return- ed here after 15 months in Egypt, reported the Egyptian Government has reburied King Tut in his three coffins, the innermost of which is pure gold, to shiéld him from the perils of modern warfare. "No one," sald Mrs, Gibson, wife of a geologist for an oil company, "knows where the body has been tekken. It is gone from the Cairo museum, that is definite. The museum itself, with its priceless collection of gems, and artifacts, is closed. Authorities say repairs are necessary."

Quick Transit to World's Fair Adjacent to Radio City BRISTOL 129 WEST 48th § T. Elliott Tolson, Pen TREET, MEW YORK CITY Joseph E. Bath, Manager TREND OF LIFE IS BACKWARDS FOR JAPANESE Three Years of War Halt Move Toward Western Mode of Living Tokio, July 12, -- Slightly more than three years ago Japan was at peace, looking forward happily to the Olympic Games and a World Fair in Tokio in 1940, expanding its industries, modernizing and beau- tifying its cities. Today the Japanese people can look back upon three years of mili- tary victories in China and three years of constantly mounting de- privetions and sacrifices at home. The Olympic Games and the World Fair were cancelled because Japan was too busy with the war, Factories manufacturing goods for export were converted into muni- tions works, with a resulting loss in foreign trade. Many municipal government pro- jects were abandoned. Water Shortage Acute Work on a huge reservoir outside of Tokio was stopped, the materials being diverted into war usage. This year Tokio is suffering an acute water shortage which would not have occurred in its present severity if the reservoir had been completed as scheduled. Tokio's unsightly canals, scheduled to be converted into broad motor highways, still are breeding mos- quitoes and endangering public health. 2 Substitute wearing materials of poor quelity are sold at prices in some cases higher than the pre-war genuine articles. Shortages have developed in rice, coal, electricity, cotton goods, sugar, matches, charcoal, butter, cigarettes, milk, beer and dozens of other com- modities. Public utilities' equipment has de- teriorated until railroad and street cars are below recognized safety standards. Sections of Tokio for which mod- ern sewage systems have been plan- ned still are without those facilities. Housing Shortage Exists Residence building has not kept pace with the increased population of Tokio, and a housing shortage has resulted. Authorities reported one case where a family of six was living in accommodations originally bulit for a litter of pigs. A boom in the munitions industry and free government spending brought & period of inflation and higher prices, resulting in lowered standards of living for the salaried classes, Government regulations have brought many violations, and illegal GIRLS EXIST THREE WEEKS IN RUINS OF NAZI RAID Were Intended to Serve French Refugees But Were Diverted to Eng- land to Escape Nazi Seizure New York, July 12.--Buried in the ruins of a Rotterdam chocolate fac- tory, wrecked by German bombs May 14, a group of girls kept them- selves alive for three weeks on cho- colate, biscuits, eggs and lemonade, the British Broadcesting Corpora- tion said last night. The B.B.C. quoted a statement is- sued in London by qualified sources to disprove German claims that little damage was done to the big Netherlands port in the bombard- ment. The statement said that in | one area of nearly two square miles only three buildings were left stand- ing and that the total casualties ap- proximated 30,000. "For three weeks after the raid, victims of the bombezrdment were still being found at the rate of 300 a day," the statement said. "Most of them were dead, but in the centre of a big chocolate factory a number of girls were found who had kept themselves alive on chocolate bis- cuits, eggs and lemonszde. "In spite of all this, the state- ments published in the Netherlands newspapers, which the Germans now control, said that only 300 people had been kill#ti and 465 injured. The Germans have even had the auds- city to show a film of the ruined city, giving it thé title: 'How the English left Rotterdam." which have been adopted by Jap- anese since the empire was opened to western influences nearly a cen- tury ago. Japanese clothing and Japanese style of living are found more suitable to periods of re- trenchment and some government leaders are urging "a return to the way of our fathers" as a patriotic movement.
