The legend has its origin back in the year 952 AD.

On that day it rained and con- tinued raining for the following 40 days. The rites were not carried out during the deluge, but after 40 days the remains were placed in Win- 'chester Cathedral.

FORD MEN REJECT CONPANY OFFER | Turn Down Five-Cent In- crease and Vacation Offer Windsor, July 14 (Special).--An estimated 5,000 Ford of Canada pro- duction workers, members of Local UAW-CIO, rejected the company counter proposals of nine cents an hour increase by 76 per cent and the company vacation offer by 78 per cent in a secret ballet foHowing a mass meeting held here today. Roy 'England, president of Local 200, said that the negotiating com- mittee told the company the offer would be unacceptable and were told they were wrong. "This week 10,000 Ford workers will say no," he declared. "If Ford workers 'accept nine cents from Ford they would be the Judas local of the labor movement," England stated, "Instead of accept- ing 30 pieces of silver they would | be accepting nine pieces of copper." England charged Labor Minister Mitchell with becoming strike breaker No, 1 by seizing the steel plants and said that tue Ford offer is tied in with the Mitchell pro- gram. "Who does he think he's fooling?" England asked. "He hasn't taken their profits and they still draw their dividends. He has tried to blackjack the rest of the workers in Canada into accepting a sub- standard 10-cent offer." Attorneg-Genera] Blackwell was charged by England with strike breaking tactics which, he said were shown when he sent 200 po- lice here to break the Ford strike-- and failed. England referred to the action of testing picketing in New Toronto by arresting pickets, Tom McLean, assistant regional director of the UAW, said the union told the company the question of retroactive wages has to be dis- cussed, McLean said the Manufac- turers' Association set the pattern for 10-cent increases months ago and that Humphrey Mitchell is now trying to carry it out for them. Company proposals on vacations were explained at the meeting. Men with less than five years seniority would receive two per cent of last year's earnings and those over five would receive four per cent. This would mean that workers would bx penalized for the 99-day strike un- ion officials stated. cm -------------------- VISITORS AT ROTARY rm b-- Visitors at the luncheon meeting of the Oshawa Rotary Club at Hotel Genosha yesterday included Ro- tarians Fred Hoar and Len Elliott of Bowmanville; Rotarian Vernon Rowe of Whitby; Rotarian Jos.

STORAGE SPAGE T0 BE PROVIDED Parks Board Approves Alex- andra Park Plans With Few Alterations 'The plans for the lavatories and added facilities to the grandstand at Alexandra Park were placed be- fore the Board of Parks Manage- ment Saturday morning, These plans, which have been drawn up by Ald. Finley M. Dafoe, were accept- ed with only a few alterations, and the board decided to authorize the calling of tenders. It is the policy of the Parks Board to add the toilets, showers and washrooms beneath the existe ing grandstand without interfering with its structure. The existing footings will be incorporated into the walls of the additional build ings. The project will include boiler rooms, storé rooms, where equip- ment and tools may be stored and where park benches might be kept during the finter. Plumbing will naturally be a big item of expense it was felt, as one of the main pur- poses of the construction was to instal washrooms. 'There will be shower rooms be- tween the two change rooms which will be for the teams of sporting or- ganizations. In addition to the fa- cilities for teams, there will be pub- lic lavatories for both -men and women, Of the three separate tenders called for, one will be for the plumbing, one for the construction which will be mainly of cement, and one for the electrical work involved. It was felt that the latter would be a comparatively small item. However, E. E. Bathe, Superintend- ent of Parks, brought to the atten- tion of the Board the matter of floodlighting. Floodlights have been frequently installed at Alexandra Park by dif- ferent organizations and it was sug- gested that any prospective flood- lighting in the future be provided for with a sufficient load while the electrical work was being done. Camp Meeting Closed Sunday' The Seventh-day Adventist Camp Meeting Session was brought to a close last Sunday evening with an | address by R. B. Thurber, Editor of the Canadian Signs of the Times magazine." The editor pointed out that world today finds itself in dark, sarrow quarters and that only divine light can show the way out. "This light," emphasized the editor, "is found in the Bible, True prog- ress can only be made to the extent that nations and individuals accept and follow the divine precepts." Mr. Thurber graphically portray- ed the troubled world picture, shad- owed by industrial strife, suspicion, and selfish designs. He also stated that present world conditions had been foretold centuries ago by the prophets, and that they were defin- ite signs pointing to the setting up of a New World Order by the Christ of she Bible, The vast audience unanimously voted to express to the Management of The Times-Gazette sincere ap- preciation for the space given in this valued publication for the re- porting of camp meeting proceed- ings.

THE TIMES-GAZETTE Tuesaay, Jury Yo, Yvsw v7 - |Urges Full Employment For Disabled Veterans Casualty Rehabilitation Of- ficer Asks Each Individ- ual Be Considered In Light of Physical De- mands of Job "Placed in the right job Canada's disabled veterans can make a con- tribution to the nation's welfare without loss to themselves", de- clared Kenneth Purchase, District Casualty Rehabilitation Officer of the Department of Veterans' Af= fairs, in an address to the members of the Oshawa Rotary Club at their luncheon meeting in Hotel Genosha yesterday. Rotarian Leonard Knowles, who introduced the speaker, pointed out that he had enlisted and proceeded overseas with the first brigade of the first division and was a casualty himself. It was stated also that that there are 25,000 disabled veter- ans in Canada at present and of these 10,000 are in the district over which Mr. Purchase has jurisdjc- tion. The thanks of the meeting were voiced by Rotarian George Hurren. P It was emphasizzd by the speaker that the plans of the federal auth- orities are applicable to all disabled people and not to veterans of ser- vice in the armed forces alone, Plea For Employment Voicing a plea for the full em- ployment of veterans, Mr. Purchase said that during the depression there was a super abundance of able bodied persons to fill jobs. However, with the coming of the war ability to do work had been the only determining factor and as a result*many disabled were given the opportunity to work, Prior to 1939 some 7,500 veterans were receiving disability allowances but in 1943 this had dropped to 723 and - ployers were amazed that these in- dividuals were among the most efficient members of their staffs. "Employment is the true essence of rehabilitation", the speaker con- tinued saying that the disabled only seek the opportunity to prove their worth, to secure full employment and to live independent of sym- pathy. The great majority who are given a .chance can keep their jobs against the competition of able bod- ied persons. It was stressed that most jobs do (Continued on Page 11) OFFER UNIFORMS TO CIVILIANS Will Make Useful Clothing for Outdoors or Work Monreal, July 15--As a contribu- tion towards increasing the stock of men's clothing, now in short supe ply throughout Canada, War Assets Corporation is preparing to market a quantity of used army uniforms with the suggestion that they will make useful outdoor or work cloth- es.
