THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1940 RTE t os, PAGE TWELVE OSHAWA HISTORY SEEN IN FIND OF OLD GANNON BALL = (Continued from Page 1) eemetery hill near the Oshawa har- ., However, it is not likely that! a post would be equipped with on equal in size to those in front of the Oshawa Public Library. Nor is it probable that the French would have used solid shot against an Indian sortie. Finally, general opinion seems to have been that the post was abandoned without mili- tary action when the British cap- tured, the then, New France. A more likely explanation is found inan incigent that occurred at the Oshawa harbor during the war of 1812. At that time Oshawa was in Upper Canada, whose president was the hero, General Brock. The present "second marsh" was then a wide and deep basin capable of sheltering ships of a consider- able size. It was fed by the Harmony river. This of course was before the forests that protected the stream were felled. At that time the Har- mony was of such a size as to pro- vide power, at a somewhat later date, for a flour mill, a brewery, a distillery, and a furniture factory. These were all located on its banks juBt south of the present Harmony cafners. Puring 1812 the Americans were largely in control of Lake Ontario, This was just before Admiral Sir James Yeo reorganized the British navy on the lakes. At that time the Topds were so bad that whenever possible the lakes were used for quick or heavy transport. A flotilla of British boats were en- ed in transporting military stores from Kingston to Fort York. Late in the afternoon when they were off thé Harmony basin, an American gunboat appeared. As the transports were not armed or under convoy they took refuge in this natural harbor. The gunhoat, seeing a val- uable prize, began a heavy cannon- ade. Small boats were then launched and a party of marines attempted to land. In the meantime the Brit- ish troops on the supply boats had been reinforced by the local settlers armed with their rifles. Such a hot fire met the attackers that they were forced to abandon their intent. The cannonade was then resumed. Although several attempts were made during the night to board the boats in the harbor these were so stoutly defended that the plan was abandoned. In the morning the gun- boat had disappeared. The small flo- #llla then proceeded cautiously but safely to York. TANK REGIMENT (GIVEN WARMEST CHEERS ON ROAD (Continued from Page 1) entered the city singing and went out the same way. The Bren gun carriers appeared to create most interest. These trim Put wicked-looking machine guns, pointed at the sky for mythical air raiders, seemed business-like and competent. Tanks Not on View The only disappointment was In the non-appearance of the tanks. Paved roads create havoc with the treads of these monsters una, at the last moment, it was decided that it would be too expensive to have them included in the scheme. The tank corps carried on and the men of these units were carried In lorries even as the infantry and artillery. The only casualty during the days's operations was Sgt. Arthur Cull, of D Company, the Irish Regi- ment. Cull was knocked down by a car at Brantford last night and seriously injured. . The car was driven by Albert Howes, 82 Murray Street, Brantford. "In company with several other soldiers, Cull was running across the main street when he was struck down by the car. He is now at the General Hospital in Brantford. * The "first armored brigade" of the movement, which included the On- "fario Regiment (tank) of Oshawa, the Fort Garry Horse of Winnipeg, 8nd the three Rivers Regiment (tank) of Quebec, were given the most enthusiastic receptions of the tour through Wellington and Brant Counties. They first went through Kitchener in their lorries and then participated in a march-past on foot. Some in Gas Masks Some of the troops wore gas masks and they happened to be the lucky ones. Most of the roads travelled were dirt tracks and dust clouds made the drivers' tasks difficult. "There were three main columns, comprising the Perth Regiment, the Grey and Simcoe Foresters and the Irish Regiment of Toronto. In ad- dition to these, however, there was Canadian armored fighting vehicles section. The Second, Canadian Motorcycle Regiment, the Governor- General's Horse Guards of Toronto, formed the protective screen for the whole movement, The tank regiments spent the night at Kitchener, where they were royally entertained. The Grey and Simcoe Foresters were at Galt. The Perths were at Paris, and the Irish Regiment, the administrative and attached groups, such as the en- gineers, were stationed at Brantford. TANK UNIT PART OF [0-MILE LINE OF ARMY PARADE (Continued from Page 1) Way, right up to Hamilton, there were small groups gathered at cross roads, and hundreds of cars parked alongside the road, filled with people waiting to see the troops. Bridges over the clover leaves along the highway were also packed with people expectantly watching for the army vehicles. Some last-minute changes were made in the plans for the parade through Toronto. Instead of travelling through the city in five convoys of about 60 vehicles each, the entire body of troops and vehicles will move in ons mass, with no interruptions for the cross-movement of other traffic. The original plan for a five-min- ute interval between each convoy to allow traffic to cross the route of the parade was tried in Hamilton and led to considerable delay and congestion, Special police officers have been assigned to keep clear the route of march and to expedite the move- ment of the troops through the city. They are expected to travel at about 15 miles an hour, and the column will be approximately 10 miles long. They enter the city at about 2:15 p.m. via the Humber bridge, and proceed by way of | Lakeshore boulevard, Fleet street, Front street, University avenue, Queen's Park crescent, Avenue road, Davenport road and Weston road to | the city limits.

Marriage Total Shows Decline For the first time in a year the number of marriages showed a de- cline in September over the same month in the previous year. Last month there were 24 marriages in Oshawa compared with 25 in Sep- tember, 1939, but of course, that was the first month of the war and marriages then were considerably more numerous than they had been earlier. The number of births recorded was 42 compared with 37 in Sep- tember, 1939. Deaths were more nu- merous, there being 23, compared with 19 a year ago. The total number of hogs on Can- adian farms at June 1, 1940, was estimated at 5,882,000 the highest on record. Extra Special --Fresh Caught LAKE TROUT »2 Complete Assortment of Lake and Sea Foods.

It is with- in the knowledge of most of us that the great advancements in alleviate ing pain and suffering, and in pro- longing human life have been the common heritage of mankind re- gardless of their origin or country of discovery. One of the most out- standing discoveries in recent years by our own Dr, Banting, insulin, was immediately made available to every nation and to all peoples of the world. Similarly i: more re- cent years, the development and application of sulfanilamide which has been such a beneficient gift to mankind, has been the result of collaboration in which flags and boundary lines have been non- existent. The first hint of it was discovered in Germany in 1935. The Pasteur Institute in Paris developed it and its application was extended at the Queen Charlette Hospital in London, England, and at the John Hopkins School of Medicine in the United States. This is probably one of the most striking examples of international co-operation in research and in making the results available to all peoples. At the present time, in this country, in England, in the United States, in Germany, in Italy and, I believe, | question,--' Why | scientific or 'aesthetic extent to which the ravages of the dictators have depleted the ranks of scientists and artists in their countries. One cannot help but feel that their civilization must have been irreparably impoverished by such an exodus and such outrage- ous treatment of those who remain- ed. Surely it will take generations if not centuries, to repair the dam- age that has been done and to re- build a culture to which they had contributed so much. The measure of any nation's cultural greatness is the number and qualities of the scientists and artists forming part of its population. One despairs to think that in those nations so bad- ly needing the leaven of cultural teachings and works, the creators of. such culture have been destroyed or have suffered voluntary banish- ment. I have spoken of the universality of culture. Man is indeed a crea- ture of contradictions. While there are no international barriers to prevent the dissemination of scien- tific developments to ameliorate pain and suffering among civilian populations, or to curtail the dis- tribution of cultural works of the citizens of every nationality, a vast- ly different situation arises when it comes to the more material, the more mundane things of life.

It shocks the conscience and casts dark shadows over the future of the human race when we learn of the suppression and oppression | in some nations to-day affecting directly and perhaps permanently | the creative genius of those races, and the future culture of the world Mr. Sumner Welles, Under Secre- tary of State for the United States, hat put it this way-- "The suppression in some parts of the world to-day of the right to free enquiry and the endeavour to control the thoughts of man, is therefore, the intimate concern not only of all scientists but like- wise of all persons who believe that science has within its grasp the capacity to remedy in a great part the ills of our present civil ization. We cannot but speculate whether or not in those parts of | the world where free enquiry is no longer possible, there will not be, at least in so far as the things of the mind and spirit are con- cerned, a return %o the Dark Ages. What hope is there for future generations in countries where the state by fiat has declared that all persons must believe glaring distortions of the truth; where evil is declared to be good; where falsehood is paraded as truth; and where aggression pure and simple is represented as self defence." The immediate and direct. result of this suppression and oppression has been the flight from such coun- tries of those who were regarded as their outstanding scientists, musicians, artists and men of cul- ture generally. I am going to take the liberty of giving you the names of only a few of the better known. There have been driven from Ger- many these men --Professor Albert Einstein, Professor James Franck, Professor Richard Willstatter, Pro- fessor Otto Warburg, Lion Feucht- wanger, Thomas Mann, Max Rein- hardt, Emil Ludwig, Brane Walter, Conrad Veidt. From Austria the following have found it better to | | take flight--Stephen Zweig, Luise | Rainer, Elizabeth Bergner and | Richard Tauber. One outstanding Italian has been forced from his native country in the person of Arture Toscanini. In addition to these and many other world-re- nowned men who have become re= fugees from their native countries and most of whom are now seeking refuge either in England or the United States, there are undoubted- ly some who remained within the boundaries of their native country but who are now either interned or have been shot.

E. R. Birchard, assistant general sales manager, chairman of the meeting, introduced J. A. John- son, director of sales, who paid tri- bute to the dealers for the whole hearted co-operation during the past year. He pointed out that the dealers were now in a position (the best in years), to take advantage | of sales opportunities, He told them that in spoite of tremendous war orders, General Motors was in a po- sition to produce sufficient auto- mobiles for all domestic needs, both passenger car and commercial trucks. ! He said he was confident that General Motors dealers' franchise in the several territories was the best in the motor industry today, and that the . economic situation was the best in recent years. E. J. Umphrey, assistant director of sales, spoke of the cordial rela- tionship which existed between the company and its dealers. He gave | a detailed review of General Motors activities and the progress made by the combany during the past 12 months, showing substantial in- creases in gales of cars, trucks and | accessories. Mr. Umphrey reviewed the vari- | ous methods by which General Mo- | tors has solidified company and | dealer relationships, mentioning | dealers' councils, master salesmen's | conferences, post-graduate dio | | of modern merchandising, the truck-a-month club, the V.ADC, the used car reconditioning institute and the travelling uced car dem- onstration units.

Magistrate F. 8, Ebbs said circum- stances in the case constituted "one of the strangest cases I have ever heard of." "Is it the idea that once you get a person in Orillia you don't let him out?" asked the cadi. "It does not seem possible that there is no company in the town of Orillia with a proper license to move fur- niture." The accused informed his Worship that such was the case. If a person in Orillia wants to move he has to hire a truck from North Bay, Toronto, or Oshawa. Valley claimed he had been trying for a long time to get a P.C.V. license from the Province, but had been unsuccessful. Provincial Officer Clark testified that he had been informed by a ture had been moved from the town of Orillia to Oshawa and was being unloaded on Simcoe Street. Upon investigation, he found that the truck was owned by the Valley Taxi and Trucking Company, and that it did not have a license as re- quired under the Public Commer- cial Vehicles Act. "At first the driver stated that Easy Way to Relieve RHEUMATIC Aches and Pains Here is a simple, easy way to get relief from the agony of swollen, rheumatic joints and muscular aches and pains.

Clark, but "that was a lie." defense Cliff Valley claimed that the company which reported the infraction of rules was the com- Jory. which was supposed to trans- port the goods but had failed to do "The stuff had fo be moved," said he, "so we moved it." Even now I have my A4pplication in for a license," he declared, "but eich time I enquire about the matter I get the same answer." "Keep after them," admonished the cadi.
