President At the uest of the Federal Oerhment, Department of Public Works, William Davidson, President of the Whitby Chamver of Com- 'merce, called on representatives of Willys of Canada yesterday morn- ing. Mr. Davidson's visit was made to obtain data which will have an important bearing on Whitby's pits for a modern industrial har- Federal action in the matter of repairs and improvements to the présent harbor hinges to a great degree on potential earnings in the form of dockage fees that the gov- ernment would collect from acceler- ated traffic into the harbour and it was to obtain this information that Mr, Davidson made his call, He received a warm welcome from officials of he company and re- turned to Whitby with all the ne- cessary information, Negotiating For Months While the whole proceedings has been very "hush-hush" it is a fact that the Whitby Chamber of Com- merce has been negotiating for months with Willys of Canada, in an attempt to convince the come ny that Whitby is The place for od to locate ® their Canadian plant. ' 'The Chainber of Commerce with the Town Council felt that Whitby Jed' many advantages to offer any plant, following the modern trend of avoiding large urban centres for bp placing of their plants, The town has the advantages of a na 'al harbor, the main lines of both ways running through the town, # trunk highway leading east and ~\Wwept to large urban centres and an adequate labor pool. These are all AM of paramount importance to industry and these facts have 0 ted to he company in an able energetic manner, Others Seek Plum When asked if there was any as- ance that Whitby would be as the site for the Willys' nt Mr. Davidson said, "It is too rly in the day, to say where the ny will locate, You must un- erstand," he continued, "that the of this plant is an indus- plum, eagerly sought by many ther centres, witness the flight of igh officials in our sister commun- to the American headquarters the company". Mr. Davidson went on to say that Willys knew 'of our desire to have them here, and knew that they could depend on the co-operation of the town officials.

Midnite Fire Call Gets Quick Action, Only Town Dump Whitby Fire Brigade answered a call from Port Whitby shortly after midnight Thursday night, Some person unknown apparently, dis turbed by fire in the Town dump, had put in the call, The firemen arrived to find the sawdust and rubbish blazing over a large area. As there was little wind, and the dump almost sure rounded by rushes and water, it was not felt necessary to connect the hose or use chemicals, The fire brigade stood by until the fire had abated, It was thought that the night breezes had fanned the flames into a brighter fire than is usual, The firemen did not seem to be at all annoyed at being dragged from bed unnecessarily, As Chief "Bill" Heard sald, "It's better to be sure than sorry." Houses Sought By Ajax Students Housing for married servicemen planning to attend the University of Toronto, Ajax Division is at a premium, according to information received from the local administra- tion yesterday. In the village of Ajax, very few houses are being vacated at the end of the month, and the 200 odd home-seekers on the 'waiting list have less than a microscopic chance of obtaining ac- commodation there, During the summer months, stud- ents have been house or room hunt- ing in Pickering, Whitby and Osh- awa and a few have been fortun- ate in finding a place for the year. Others have located in farms near the school, but many more will have | gh to commute from Toronto. School will start on Tuesday for some two hundred students taking a special course in Chemical En- gineering, with the balance arriving on Sept. 23. Brock Twp. Farm Changes Owners One of the better known and best farms in Brock Township was sold recently when the Glendinning farm was sold to Willlam William- son of Toronto, for an undisclosed price. It has been in the possession of the Glendinning family since it was taken over as a crown grant and the last member of the family to be in possession is Mrs. L. Pren- tiss, the daughter of Henry Glen- dinning, The farm consists of 200 acres of land, with a cut stone house and all conveniences, a stock barn which formerly housed a prize re- gistered herd of Jersey cattle, and 30 acres of bush, It is on the north side of Highway 7 in Brock Towns: ship, just east of Sunderland. - The new owner has purchased the farm for his two sons and Mrs, Prentiss has moved to Lindsay to live, The snle was made by the real state firm of Bowman and Rowe, acting as agents for the Willough- by Farm Agency, Snarestone, Leicestershire, Eng.

PLANT IN WHITBY LEADERS SCHOOL CONCLUDES FRIDAY 130 Delegates Return Home From Successful Whitby Meeting (By Mrs. W. F. Young) When the School for Leaders delegates gathered for morning worship on Thursday morning the dean of the school Mrs. W, L. Smyth during her meditation per- fod compared our present day gen- eration to the people of Isrial when they broke contact with God, after having pledged loyalty. God came back again offering 'forgiveness and a second chance. He offers to us, a second chance. She said, in part "The forgiveness of God is not just a device for making our consciences comfortable. It offers us a fresh start in serving his purpose in the world. The power of God is abroad in the world today and you and I are standing directly in its line, We can step aside, or we can allow that power to pass through us to others, His call, means power, out of power comes action and out of action, life. During the morning each de- partment continued plans and stud- ies for the betterment of that de- partmen. In the auxiliary depart ment, Dr. Winnifred Thomas as- sisted by Mrs, CO. R. Carscallen dis- cussed Literature available for Christian Education and many ex- cellent books and pamphlets were recommended. Rev. G. W. Morrison continued his discussion on the Rural Church in the Community. He spoke on (1) Leadership, (2) Administration and Organisation, (3) Finance and Pub- licity. He had an encouraging word for the people, who because of their willingness to serve, as leaders, were overburdened. He believed there were many people waiting to be asked to serve, In rural areas, where not enough leaders could be secured why not a larger parish or an Interfield system where two or more rural charges combine for ad- ministration and organization. He sald, a consolidated church in his opinion was not the answer but rather 'a co-operative spirit. "We must keep open the little family centres of Spiritual life." Steward- ip is the answer to poorly fin- anced rural churches, Last of all the speaker believed in advertising for the church. If we have some- thing worth while, let péople know about it. "We've a story to tell to the nations". The speaker was thanked by Mrs, Smyth, Luncheon Interlude During the luncheon hour a guest in theé™ person of Miss Frances Nancekievill Reg. Nurse was intro- duced. Presbyterials led in group singing around the tables, Mrs, W. W. Gibson announced the appoint- ment of Miss Constance Wagar as candidate advisor for Peterborough Presbyterial and the delegates were delighted to learn that the sum of $200.00 each year, for two years, to pay expenses of some young, would 6, missionary candidate had been given by Mrs, Robt. Louch of Gan- awaque, The Crusaders Cavalcade and W.M.S. and W.A. relations were discussed by Dr. Thomas during the afternoon. The aim of the caval- cade is "to present to the United Church, the whole work of the United Church." Dr, Thomas also reviewed the study programmes for the coming year which are on India. She showed how the study of India can be made interesting by the manner in which it is pre- sented. Eg. Drama form, Posters, Maps, Open discussions, 'Question naires, and for smaller auxiliaries. Reading groups. In the evening, there was held 'a beautiful "Out door Vesper Service". Later in the lecture hall, a sacred programme was presented by Miss Constance Wagar, consisting of a story "Faith of Our Fathers" told in beautiful Scottish dialect by Miss Netta Brownlee, A Teen-age Book Review hy Miss E. Harwood, and two touch- dramatizations . of Peterborough was narrator. Sac- Ted Musical numbers were rendered by Mrs. J, Crawford, Mrs, H, Tud- ley and Mrs. R. Williamson. Last Session ] "Into all the , in which Miss M. Harris Says Town a > May Expropriate Land If Owner Will Not Sell Council Owner Says Property Al ready Optioned To An- other (Undisclosed) Firm--Wanted By Oil Company For Immediate Development Representatives of the Anglo- American Ofl Company end Isaac Levine, Whitby property owner, ap- peared before the Town Council at a special] meeting called to discuss whether the council would expro- priate Levine's property to make it available to the oil company for industrial expansion, Mr, Levine advised the council that he had given an option to an- other company, interested in pur- chasing his entire farm, He told the council that he had accepted a fee from this company to bind the op- tion, and that part of his agree- ment was that he would not divulge the name of the principals, nor the nature of their business other than that it was an automobile firm, Want Property Now H. L. Heuer, representing the company, pointed out that his com- pany had a verbal agreement with Levine, and that he had told them that they could have any part of the farm needed for their project. He sald that the company, acting in good faith, had surveyed the ground, and had chosen the necessary for the erection of their storage tanks, "The time element is important to us" he said, "as we must erect the tanks, before naviga- tion closed." For reason company wished the town to clarify the situation at once. It was pointed out by D. B. Mc- Intyre, town solicitor, that the town could not expropriate proper- ty for one firm if it was already under option to an N A - vine stated that the option would on Tuesday, and he was w to lease the land to the Anglo-American if the other firm did not take up its option, Mr, Heuer, speaking for the oll company, said, "In view of the un- satisfactory handling of this matter by Mr. Levine, we would like to return to our original intention of purchasing the land, rather than lease it from him, In this way", he continued, "we will avoid trouble which will surely arise when we wish to renew the lease". He asked the council to expropriate the land and sell it to the company. . Council will meet again next Wednesday and it was decided that an expropriation bylaw will be passed unless an earlier settle- ment has been reached. In event of expropriation Levine's property, al- though assessed at $45 as farm land, will be evaluated as an in- dustrial site. Someone Made Mistake Inquest J ury Decides Doctor Thinks Man Might Have Lived If Medical Treatment Given Soon Enough--Lay On Track Over One Hour "If immediate first aid or prompt medical attention had been given, his life might have been saved," sald the Coroner's Jury "in its findifgs on the Inquesi into the death of John Dolham of Poplar Plains Road, Toronto, who died on the way to Oshawa Hospital on August 5 after being found on the CNR. tracks 2% miles west of 'Whitby, The jury found that "John Dol- ham came to his death by falling or jumping from the first section of Train 14, a C.N.R. passenger train," and added the statement that "we further are of the opinion that some member of the train's crew erred in not giving or not receiving the proper signal to bring the train to an immediate stop, so that there would not have been so great a de- lay in giving prompt assistance to sald John Dolham." The inquest had been adjourned from August 20 to August 20 to hear further evidence, particularly that of the engineer and fireman of the train from which Dolham fell or jumped. Previous witnesses had stated that they had pulled the signal cord for a stop on two oc- casions, both some distance west of Whitby. "Might Have Been Saved" Dr. Harold, Pritzker, pathologist at Oshawa General Hospital, who performed the post mortem, stated on Thursday night that the deceas- ed might have heen saved by hos- pitalization within the hour. According to the evidence Dol- ham left the train at almost exactly IVAN HESS CARTAG 210 KENT ST., WHITBY r 1102 a.m, and did not reach the hospital in Oshawa until 12.46 p.m, a lapse of time of 103 minutes. Engineer Albert Bigonaise, who was engineer on Train 14, stated that the train was going about 80 miles per hour at the time in ques- tion and that he heard only one long blast on the signai whistle. Ac- pro: Rov to him this is the signa) to let off steam,.and as there was no steam on at the time he ignored it completely, So. 'When the train came to the curve just west of Whitby he heard an escape of alr from the whistle, but not' a. distinct whistle, and so did not recognize the signal as calling for an immediate stop. The fireman in the cab with him, Bertrand C. McGowan, sald that he heard the first signal but didn't hear the second, Dr. J. O. Ruuddy, who had beer flagged as he was driving past by a man from W. O, Town's ambul- ance, sald that he found Dolham suffering severely from shock and then in a dying condition, Previous Evidence At last week's hearing evidence was given that Dolham was sitting up when found and conscious, al- though unable to talk, He had been seen by two trainmen before he jumped from the speeding train. On of them had cautioned him about the open door and then clos- ed it. The second had seen him just | Agnp as he left the train, This trainman then pulled the signal cord, the two | W. pul] signal to stop the train, The man who had seen Dolham first, also saw him just as the last car of the train passed him, and he too pulled the signal cord, after leaving a pause between his signal and the first one given: When the train stopped in Whit- by Station the warning was given, but the injured man was not found for over an hour, Dolham, who had 'Whitby News on Green Street. > +» Mr, P.

RENT--LIGHT, AIRY Many Friends Attend | Graduation At Ontario Exercises Hospital Shortage of Nurses Em- a mental hospital. He said that 38 phasized by Russell T. Kelley, Also His Five Rules For Good Health Crowds of friends and relatives attended the graduation exercises held at the Ontario Hospital on Thursday night when seven nurses received their diplomas. Atiention was centred on the nurses and on the speech by Russell T. Kelley, Provincial Minister of Health, who was the guest speaker for the eve. ning. Mr. Kelley noted in his speech the serious shortage of nurses and nurses in training. He said that the province was 4000 nurses short right now, and added that every effort is being made to fill up classes for the coming year. : A proof of fhe shortage is this year's class at the Hospital, as some classes have numbered as many as 35. Next year only two nurses are expected to graduate and in the following year none. The Minister of Health, who has been speaking in 'many parts of the province in the eight months since he joined the provincial cab- inet, was introduced by T. K. Creighton, K.C., M.P.P., who is the member for this riding, Mr, Creigh- ton described him as a man of wide human sympathy who has worked in many fields. Five Health Rules Mr. Kelley, who had no need of the microphorie, said that the prov- ince is now spending over $15,000,- 000 a year on health and welfare. "Most of this is spent after people are sick. I would much rather see it spent to keep them well." He then laid down five rules for health. The first of them was to eat good meals, and not lunch on soft drinks and donuts. Here he was talking mainly to the women in his audience, for he continued by say- ing that they could not be healthy mothers unless they kept them- selves healthy. His second rule was to see a doctor regularly, as a wise investment in the future. Next he suggested that as one gets older one should start taking a short nap after lunch, in order to conserve one's strength. The two other rules he gave were that parents should pay attention to their own and their children's teeth and also o their eyesight. He piv of particularly insistant that stud- ents. should, have good lighting for i their reading and studies. One Profesdion Nobler Speaking to the new graduates he sald, "In all the professions there '| is only one grander and more noble than nursing and that is mother- hood. I suggest that you realize what a grand profession nursing is, and also have faith in yourselves, in other people--which may be a bit harder--and in Canada, a land with a great future, At the start of the proceedings the nurses, in their uniforms and carrying bouquets of red roses, had paraded to the beautifully decor- ated platform and Rev. D. B. Lang- 308 | ford, Rector of St. John's Anglican . | Church, . | nounced the Invocation. Port Whitby, had pro- Popular Misconceptions In his opening remarks Dr. D. R. Fletcher, Superintendent of the hospital, attempted to dispel a few of the popular misconceptions about per cent of the patients came to the hospital voluntarily, and that while a general hospital could cure any physical illness, the best place for a person with a nervous breake down was in a mental hospi) where the staff had been tra to look after mental ailments, He told the new graduates that they could well be proud of the hos~ pital from which.they were gradu~ ating, as it had the best record for discharged patients in the province, and had had for twelve years. After the nurses had been led in the Florence Nightingale pledge by Miss R. Pearl Sharpe, the Superin- tendent of Nurses, Miss Elizabeth Hewitt of Brockville gave the Vale- dictory address, acclaimed by both Mr. Kelley and Mr. Creighton as the best they had heard in many months. Miss Hewitt, speaking for the graduating class, thanked the doce, tors and staff of the hospital for their help, and impressed upon the audience the joys and alsq the sor- rows of a student nurse, Her advice to the coming graduates was to be hopeful, and she also hoped that future classes would be larger. James Sheedy of Whitby sang two solos, Handel's "Where'er You Walk" and "A Little Song Of Life" by Malotte, accompanied by Leon Nash, Prize Winners Following the speech by Mr. Kel ley, Mrs. D. R. Fletcher presented their pins and diplomas to the graduates, and the prizes were then presented to Miss Ruby Kurzey, of Guelph, Miss Irene Zylich, of Vir« den Manitoba, Miss Hewitt and Miss Audre Wormald. Other mem- bers of the graduating class wert Miss Dorothea Beamish of London Miss Gladys Gill of Port Whitby Miss Gwen Hough, Toronto, and Miss Dorothy Long of Oshawa. Dr. Fletcher's closing words in. cluded a quiet question as tc whether nurses learned more in the long course they take nowadays! than they did 25 years ago wher the course was only half as long The same applied to doctors, anc Dr. Fletcher's feeling was that a lo! of education was given ' over studying useless stuff. Following the graduation oe: monies refreshments were served | the graduates' relatives and friend and later on there was dancing anc entertainment, -.
