Power Cut-offs THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Combining The Oshawa Times and Whitby Gazette and Chronicle WHITBY VOL. 7--NO. 274 OSHAWA-WHITBY, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1948 PAGE THREE CANADIANS MUSTWORK TO KEEP STRONG "Canada" was the subject chosen by Col. O. H. Barrett, OBE, for his address to yesterday's meeting of the Oshawa Rotary club. Mr, Barrett, the assistant to the Presi- dent of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, described some of the things that make Canada strong, and told his audience that it was up to them to see that it remained strong. "Canada," he said, "is situated today on the bridge between two great and opposing world faiths. On the south we have an undefended border 3,000 miles long, and the peaceful and democratic United States, perhaps the strongest power in the world today. On the north and west is the Soviet Union, a country that is dedicated to the expansion of the power of the state and the lessening of individual power and responsibility. "Our position today is one which can be compared favorably with that of any country in the world. We have immense mineral wealth, wide prairies with one of the largest wheat crops in the world, forests, fisheries, and lakes more than any other country anywhere. We have grown from an undeveloped and unknown to our present position in only 75 years. In only 25 years we have shifted from a purely agricultural economy to & highly industrialized system. Hard Work and Intelligence "Less than one one-hundred and eighty-eighth of the world's popula- tion has done all of this. It was accomplished by hard work and in- telligence; Canada stands for un- conqiferable endeavour, and it is this that has made her what she is. "What else do we stand for? We stand for the freedoms which have helped to make our country great. We stand for faith; faith in our fellow men, in our beliefs, and our institutions. "While people today point out that we are facing problems which seem worse than any in our history, or in the world's history, let me point out that we share with the United States the highest living standards in the world; that here we have things that, elsewhere, would seem like heaven. "With the dark clouds on today's horizons, what of the future? We cannot see it all, but here are some things that we can see." Col. Bar- rett pointed out that Canada, as a people, had' done little in the past to make the people who come to this country into Canadians, and that in many cases we referred to them as "foreigners". » "They are not foreigners" he said, "they are Canadians. Yet we have not taught or educated them into Canadian ways. We are all at fault in this regard." Must Educate Young People In a discussion of modern political trends, Col. Barrett pointed out that while we may decry the spread of Communism and other beliefs, we do little to halt them, In order to fight Communism, he said we must first find out what it is, and then educate our young people to know what it really stands for, and to realize that political pamaceas will not bring about a millenium here. "They must come to know that Communism stands for freedom of the press as against restriction and state control; for freedom of as- sociation and assembly as against regimentation; for labour"s right to strike as against no right to strike at all; for a free and just jury trial; and for freedom of individual enterprise as against state control. . Here one can be convicted for his i in the gSoviet Union, there are from 14 to 16 million slaves labouring with no hope of ever becoming free. "Here there is no Slave Labour Trust, as in the Soviet Union. We have the right to look for the job which pleases us and suits us best. Now, if we allow the beliefs of the Communists to encroach on our areas, we can expect the same things here as in Russia. The same thing can happen here as happened in a dozen European countries.

To Give Water Cost Data To Township A' breakdown of costs of install- ing water connections in East Whitby Township will be forward- | ed to Township Council, it was de- | cided by the Oshawa Public Util- | ities Commission last night when a delegation from council appeared to protest that the $100 charge seemed high. The East Whitby delegation con- | sisted of Reeve T. D. Thomas, De- puty Reeve William Noble, and Councillors Neil Fraser and Elmer | Powell. [ "The cost of water connection in | the township has increased to $100 ang we would like to know where is | will end," Reeve Thomas said. | "We have had many complaints that { this rate is too high and we would | like to have a breakdown of the | figures so we can tell our ratepay- | ers." | "I don't think we are charging | anymore than we should; after all | our costs have gone up too," re-| torted P.U.C. chairman-S, J. Babe. | Reeve Thomas assured the com- | mission that his council was sure | the P.U.C. was not overcharging | East Whitby residents and said | that all his council wanted was | the figures so that they could show them to critics. P. U, C. Manager George F.| Shreve, giving the figures for the | six months from May to October said that $5,550 had been charged East Whitby residents for water installations and the cost was.$5,- 282 leaving an overage of $268. The Commission decided to have Mr, Shreve prepare breakdown fig- ure for the best and worst two months in a year and send them | on to East Whitby Council.

School Fire Averted By Narrow Margin Just a week ago a very serious fire was Jnarrowly averted in the |be quoted an estimate on costs of | home e®nomics room at Centre Street School, said W. Gordon Bunker, Business Administrator, re- !with the PUC's consulting engineer. | porting last night to the Board of Education at its regular meeting at the O.C.V.IL. The janitor smelled smoke when he entered the building at about seven o'clock in the evening. He rushed to the source and in the home economics room found a hlaz- ing electric iron. It was likely, Mr. Bunker said, that one of the girls in the class left an iron plugged in when the | power went off in the afternoon. It came on again after school was dismissed and, had it not been for the opportune visit of the janitor there might have been a bad fire. The janitor quickly brought the fire under control. "Someone made a mistake like we all do and it was complicated by the power cut-offs," said Trustee George Fletcher, neatly summing up the in- cident. Scottish Pr ogram At Church Social Evening Combined with an observance in honor of St. Andrew, the patron saint of Scotland, the annual con- gregational social of St. Andrew's United Church, held last night in the church hall, had a truly Scot- tish flavor, and provided good fel- lowship and excellent entertain- ment for a large number of! mem- bers and adherents of the congre- gation, a nk Dr: Walter Bapty, attired in the traditional tartan kilt and plaid, acted as chairman for the evening, and. presided over an enjoyable program, which was punctuated by the community singing of Scot- tish songs, led by Jack Hunter and Miss Dorothy McDonald, and with C. J. W. Taylor, the church organ- ist and choir leader, at the piano, Soloists were Mrs. J. L. Pegg and Miss Dorothy McDonald, who, ac- companied by Mr. Taylor, sang groups of familiar Scottish songs, to 'the delight of the audience. Feature of the entertainment was the appearance of the Gen- eral Motors Pipe Band to play two groups of' stirring bagpipe selec- tions, under the leadership of Pipe Major Jack Reid, who also accom- panied a group which gave a very spirited = demonstration of the Eightsome Reel. Rev. George Telford, minister of St. Andrew's, in a brief address, told the story of the connection of St. Andrew with Scotland, and the founding of the town of St. An- drew by St. Rule, who brought with him what was reputed to be a bone from one of the fingers of St. An- drew. Mr. Telford spoke of the struggles of the Reformation days, and the martyrdom of Patrick Hamilton and George Wishart, which had stirred the people of Scotland into great zeal for the re- formed faith. Today, he said, churches all over the world bear the name of St. Andrew in honor of Scotland's patron saint. In the course of the evening, a large group of new members and adherents was introduced to the congregation and given a warm welcome. : At the close of the program of entertainment, the gathering ad- journed to the basement, where delicious refreshments .in abun- dance were served, these: having been provided by the ladies of the congregation. Thanks to the ladies and to those who had contributed to the evening's program, and the singing of traditional Scottish air, "Auld Lang Syne" concluded the formalities of a delightful social evening. County Hay Good Quality Hay harvested in Ontario county is ngostly of good quality and sup- plies appear to 'he adequate, says the monthly crop report of the Ontario Department of Agriculture for this county. The corn crop, the report continues, is slightly below average, but there should be suf- ficient ensilage to feed livestock through the winter. The root crop is also. a little below average, but grain was above average and of good quality, It is expected, how= ever, that large quantities of West- ern grain will still be required for livestock feeding. Durham county reports that there is sufficient hay on practically all farms in the county, and that while silage corn is slightly below aver- age, it is still In falr supply. Roois are about two thirds of a normal crop, as lack of rain caused small size in these crops. The county, however, has the largest grain sup- ply for several years. & 4 Happy Doubles Minstrel Revue Well Received Interlocutor: Mose, I hear that your grandfather just died. Mose: Yassuh, Mist' Interlocutor, thass right. Interlocutor: Well, did he leave your grandmother much? Mose: Oh, 'bout twice a week. Such old favorites as this, and others with a newer twist to them, kept an overflow audience happy at the Minstrel Revue presented last night by the Happy Doubles Club of King Street United Church. The revue, directed by Vernon Os- borne, was divided into two acts. the first a standard Minstrel Show setting, and the second with a "down on the farm" locale. Among the numerous specialty numbers presented, the audience were most enthusiastic over the trio "You're a Little Too Small" with Merwood Dale (Mose), Vernon Osborne (Rastus), and Gordon Long (Bones). Rounds of applause also went to "Rastus" and "Mose" for their two-in-one act, in which Mose played the body while Rastus was the voice. The audience were "rolling in the aisles" as the arms (Mose) carefully struck a match, and lit a pipe smoked by Rastus. Popular Solo Renditions Most popular of the solo rendi- tions was "Carolina in the Morn- ing", with Mildred Fletcher and the mixed chorus of 35 voices. The trio "Come on Down South", featuring Joycc Osborne with Mil- dred Fletcher and Dorothy Snyder, was also popular. The minstrel program, as every- one knows, includes fare of every kind, including poetry, Take this sample for example: "I like silent pictures best, Their return I 'would greet" with a shout-- Just to see a woman open her mouth - And not a sound come out." While the audience seemed to appreciate the efforts of all the soloists, 'some of the members of the cast were not so friendly: Mose: I didn't think much of that. Where you ever learn to sing like that? Soloist: You didn't like it? Why, I'll have you know dat I took sing- ing lessons for years. I got a trained voice! Rastus: Trained! Man, your voice sounds more like it had been railroadec! Humorous End Men Providing most of the humorous highlights of the show were the four "End-men", in the personages of Rastus, Mose, Bones, and Sun- thine (James Hare). The inter- locutor for the revue was Lloyd Metcalf, and the musieal. portions of the program were directed by Dr. S. George Werry, AT.C.M. Following . are the members of the chorus: Pauline Hare, George Lean, Mildred Fletcher, Wilbert McKinstry, Dorothy Snyder, Joyce Osborne, Frank Burrows, Eva Souch, Merve Cryderman, Made- line Stevenson, Ray 'Way, Mar- garet Gomme, Kathleen Buckler, Pete Tullock, Greta Burrows, Mere- dith Moffatt, Helen Wragg, Mar- garet Long, Elwood Buckler, Hazel Faint, Bryce Brown, Jean Love, Norma Robinson, Stanley Gomme, Blanche Edwards, Audrey Metcalf, Ruth Brown, Bob Smales, Ina Way, Betty Pearse, Eunice Smales. SIBERIAN SUPERSTITION In western Siberia the fat of sacred animals is rubbed carefully onto the brow and limbs of a dis- eased person because it is believed to possess magical powers. At the largest investiture to be held in Toronto in more than a year, Viscount Alexander, at the Fort York® Missionary Speaker At Y.F.C. Rally A very impressive meeting of Youth for Christ was held Saturday night in Simcoe Street United Church, when Major Len Evendon and a group from St. Catharines challenged the hearts of their audi- ence, The vocal quintette rendered sev- eral soul-stirring numbers: "A New Name in Glory", "God is Love", "Way in the Middle of the Air" and "I Want My Life to Tell." The Instrumental Sextette played 'Tell it to Jesus." A. Beard, one of the group, chose "In the Garden" for a violin solo. Our own Oshawa talent was a duet by Olga and Dianne Wolos- wich. They very sweetly sang "What a Friend We have in Jes- us" and "He is the Saviour for Me." Major Evendon, a returned Miss- ionary from China, now in St. Catharines, based his message on a passage from the Epistle to the Bebrews, "Hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering." The speaker told of several experiences while in China where men of his acquaintance held fast to their faith without faltering. He said that it was impossible for men to do it themselves and urged the young people to look to God for the strength needed to keep them from wavering, in times of temptation. Quoting from Philippians "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." Major Evendon closed by saying "Whatsoever He saith unto you, do it and may the |) Lord bless you." Following the message George Sparks very beautifully sang "I'd rather have Jesus." Education Board News Briefs By declaration of the Ontario Departinent of Education Friday November 26 has been declared a school holiday. The Oshawa Board of Education was so informed in a letter read last night at the reg- ular meeting of that body, held in the O.C.V.I. LR The new addition to Ritson Road School will be opened on December 1 at 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon. Present to officiate at the opening and act as guest speaker will be C. F. Cannon, Superintendent of Elementary Education. A program, including choral selections, has been arranged. Following the program the public will be free to examine the new addition to the school, LR To date no satisfactory solution of the traffic problem in' school areas has been worked out. A Board of Education Committee has been informed by the Police Com- mission that it is impossible to of- ficially reduce speed limits below 30 m.p.h. in school areas. The mat- ter of special constables and flick- er lights will be investigated fur- ther by the Board of Education Committee in collaboration with police and municipal authorities. * bP Trustee E. A.

Bring Headaches To O.C.V.I. Pupils Education Board Will Confer With P.U. Commission though lesser known effects of the power cut-offs was brought to light last night when the Board of Education met at the O.C.V.I. Members of the Board, it- was revealed, have been deluged with complaints from parents of children who have suffered headaches "Children are getting terrific® headaches and naturally their pa- rents complain," said Rev. P. Cof- fey, Separate School Representative on the Board. "If the proper authorities cannot do anything about this matter then let us close the schools and let the children run on the streets. We would see how they like that. So far as I can see they might as well be closed now," Father Coffey said. To Confer With P.U.C. Final decision of the Board was to appoint a committee to confer with George F. Shreve, Manager cf the Public Utilities Commission on the problem. Committee members appointed were, L. M. Souch, J. L. Beaton and W. Gordon Bunker, Business Administrator. If the committee is unable to get satisfaction from its meeting with the P.U.C. Manager, Board of Edu- cation Chafrman Mrs. G. Colpus, will probably call a special meeting in order to further discuss the matter, Father Coffey, who introduced the subject, which was on the agenda, thought at first that it should be referred to the Board of Health. He was informed by Mr. Souch that that body had already tossed the controversial question in the Board of Education's lap. It had asked for suggestions. Board Points to Hazards Various members of the Board brought out the hazards which power cut-offs brought in their wake, There was, to begin with, a hazard to limb in groping around dark halls. There was, furthermore, an increased fire hazard. Secondly there was the injury to pupils' eyes. Finally poor natural lighting, which was what was depended upon dur- ing cut-offs, interfered seriously with the pupils' assimilation of knowledge. Several weeks ago, said Mr. Bunker, he had the opportunity to take a Toronto engineer over the 0.C.V.I. building. The engineer sug- gested that two fifty horsepower or one one hundred horsepower gener- ators would take care of the O.C.V.I. lighting meeds. That however only took care of one school. In some schools in Oshawa pupils are being dismissed at 3.30 o'clock in the afternoon, Board Chairman Mrs. Colpus said. This was happen- ing in some primary schools and teachers were incensed. They said that they couldn't cover the work. General discussion of why Osha- wa should have more cut-offs than any other city of equal size then took place. It was suggested that the reason cities like Niagara Falls and Kitchener were not feeling the power shortage so much was be- cause they were co-operating with the Hydro Commission, Such was not the case here. OSHAWA CHADBURN SQUADRON By CPL. BURTON RUSSELL November 22, 1948--Our last par- ade showed the finish to the Aero- Engine course for the Senior Group. Any Senior Cadet that has been on parade regularly now knows at least the various aircraft instru- ments, principles of the aircraft en- gines, and should. be able to take one apart and put it together again with nothing missing or left over. 54 Soon, the Intermediate and Jun- ior Groups will be finished in their respective courses "on Airmanship and Navigation; also. When 'all three groups finish, each group will trade courses with the others until all three have a new coiirse to start on. When these new courses are finished, they will trade again, and in this way every Cadet is trained yearly in Navigation, Airmanship, and Aero-Engines, But the Cadet parades are not all studies. Besides the summer camps, flying courses, flying time, the Cadet gets to be with fellows about his own age; fellows that have ideas about flying as a career, maybe in the R.C.AAF. Many of these Cadets fly now, right at Osh- awa Airport, and a few have their Private Pilot's licenses. All of these Cadets learned to fly by taking the Air Cadet flying course during the summer which is available to any Cadet that fits the requirementsa A chap gets to see what careers other boys his own age are. going in for. He has his own ideas about what he would like to be, and by 'discussing it with the boys, he learns other views, other ideas, and maybe gets a start towards his goal Anyway, a boy.can only benefit by attending Air Cadet parades, and any boy who wants to join Air Ca- dets has just to turn up at the C. R.A. building on Gibbs Street on Tuesday evenings. F/L. Andrews has left. His last parade with the squadron was on Tuesday. The Cadets gave him a | farewell speech and presented him with a cigarette lighter as a small token of gratitude for what he has done for the O.C.S., and many Cad- ets will miss that familiar face on parade. But 'wherever he is, he knows he has the 151 Oshawa Chad- burn Squadron's very best wishes, and we hope he may find time one day to come hack and visit with us. Here Tomorrow - REV. E. J. SPRINGETT Of the British Israel Federafion, who is addressing a meeting of the local branch of the federation in the auditorium of Centre Street School Tomorrow night. Communism Not New Evil Record Shows Apparently Communism is not a new evil in the world, because back in 1884, according to a document now in the possession of Charles Fair, 86 Brock Street West, who brought it to the office of The Times-Gazette for inspection. This document, which is dated September 8, 1884, ns an appeal on behalf of the Convent of the Sacred Heart, Mount St. Joseph, Newport, County of Mayo, Ireland. It had been mail ed, along with a letter asking for contributions, to one James Gibbons of Oshawa, by his cousin Joseph Moran, the letter being dated Oc- tober 7, 1884. In the text of the circular appears the following pas- sage: » "I regret to -have to state that notwithstanding their vigilance and solicitude (of Catholic clergy), re- ligious teaching is all but ignored in some schools. All this leads to Secularism, Materialism, Commun- ism, Atheism and a disregard of all law, human and divine, where it can be done with impunity." In addition to the above-mene tioned document, Mr. Fair also has in his possession a copy of the con» stitution and by-laws of the St, Patrick's Benevolent Society of Oshawa, published in 1875. This so- ciety was established on September 1, 1872, and was sanctioned by His Lordship the Archbishop of Toron- to, John Joseph Lynch, and the Clergy of St. Michael, Toronto. An interestng feature of this lite tle booklet, to old residents of Osh= awa, is the list of office-bearers which appears on the title page, as follows: President, Thomas Byrne; Vice-President, Thomas ' McKit« trick; Secretary, D. Normoyle; As~ sistant Secretary, T. Riordan; Treasurer, J. Gibbons; Chief Mare shal, J. Gibbons; Assistant Marsh al, Job Hunt; Librarian, M. J, Wall; Assistant Librarian, E. Wale lace; Stewards, M. Flinn and T. McKittrick; Messenger, Job Hunt, The constitution states, "The So- ciety shall meet on the first Wed- nesday in every month, and on the third Wednesday for entertain- ments." The rest of the booklet re- lates to the duties of officers and, the regulations of the Society. It would be interesting to know how long the St. Patrick's Benevo= lent Society of Oshawa remained in active operation, and if any of the readers of The Times-Gazette can give any information on this point, for publication, it would be grate- fully received, Three Brooklin Stock Breeders Win At Royal Three Brooklin stockbreeders ap- peared in the spotlight at the Royal Winter Fair yesterday with major awards in livestock classes. W. A. Dryden and Son, showing in the breeding classes for Short- horn cattle had the senior reserve - champion bull of the show. W. Heber Down, also of Brooklin, showing his fine Clydesdale stale lion, Hawkrigg Inspiration, won the junior stallion championship, and the same animal went on to win the reserve grand champion- ship. In the classes for Clydesdale mares, Crescent Rosetta, owned and shown by W. F. Batty and Son, Brooklin, took first place in its class, and won the'ribbon for Jun- ior champion Clydesdale mare. 'DIRE NEED' Toronto, Nov. 23--(CP)--Officials of the United Emergency Fund for Britain said Monday that - England still was "in dire need" of food. The officials were ommenting on a statement made Monday in Mon- treal by William M. Birks, chairman of the Canadian United Allied Re- lief Fund Mission, that "the need for relief is largely over in the Gooq luck, Sirl whole of Western Europe."
