E. Wemp at the monthly meeting of the Oshawa Branch of he British Israel World Federation (Canada) Inc. Sunday afternoon in the Orange Temple. The lesson which was read was St. Luke 21:24-38. In the lesson just read you have heard part of the answer our Lord ave $0 his diseiples questions re- future happenings, said . Wemp. They wanted to know he would return, the signs of d of the end of the they know He would There is more in the Old than in the New about disciples were not con- end of the world, mention in the Bible ut about the end of the d system.

He spoke of the of Jerusalem as fore- the armies led by Titus in . 70, of it being down trodden for a definite time and the deliver- by the armies under General Allenby in 1917. This should have ated = a trumpet blast to the World as a sign of Christ's return, but realize it. A qi fe 4 k Christian world didn't | | Talk Theme Then Jesus went on to tell of things leading up to his return, signs in the sun, moon and stars: and upon earth distress of nations with perplexity. Men's hearts fail- ing them for fear of what might happen upon earth; for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. How marvelous it is being fulfilled now. There was never a time when na- tions were so distressed. Mr. Wemp spoke of conferences that had been held in the past without those participating being able to reach agreement. The terrible de- struction of the atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb. The possibility of more horrible weapons of destruc- tion being made and the fear among people of what might hap- pea upon earth. The powers of eaven truly have been shaken. In the verse following we read, "then shall they see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory." We are right on the verge of it. The Greek word "ora- mus" has been translated "heav- en" in the preceding verse: the word '"'uranium" comes from the same Greek word. Truly the pow- ers of uranium are being shaken today. And we are told when these things begin to come to pass, look up, for your redemption draw- eth nigh. The Christian should have nothing to fear, though he may be concerned about the things that may happen. | Your Accident Chances One In 15 Last Year TORONTO (OP) -- One owt of every M5 Ontario drivers was in a traffic accident last year, the high- way department's motor vehicles branch announced in is annual re- veport, released Friday night eommittee of the legis- prepared to launch a study increasing traffic safety of 1,082 persons socidents in the was 72 more than year. persons weve in- 700. rty damage amounted fo J24.3m 814. up nearly $4,000,000 from 1 The ee of accidents, 85 ss, was .6 per cent over 's toll.

Little Workon™ The Land Yet While district farmers were out on high land toward the end of last week, spring work is bein, held up until the moisture ir fell in the recent -heavy rains dries out, Driving north from Whitby on Ea Saturday a member of The Times- Gazette staff noted there was little spring activity on the land except for fields which were on high land | and had light soil. On one farm in particular the farmer had attempted to spread manure with a manure spreader but the machine had sunk to the hubs in the moist land. It had to be abandoned with part of its load unspread. Quite a number of farmers have been forced to confine their out- door activity to the completion of wood | cuttin; operations. This means the drawing of the wood from the wood lot and the sawing and piling of next winter's suppy of firewood. Grains planted last fall appear to have come through the winter in good shape.

Foley, JP, was leading man in the township for many years. He was a member of t County Council and left valuable bequests for the church and sepa- rate school at Brechin. J. G. Gil- lespie, Timothy O'Leary and Wil- liam Broomfield, leading men of a later date, each filled various offices of public trust in the town- ship. Each served as Warden.

Hermann Bruckdorfer, Czecho- sloakian glass expert now living in Salem, near Elora, explained to- that improper annealing of glass windshields may be the prim- ary cause of the pit marks. GLASS HAS GRAIN ; : Glass, he said, has grain, like wood. When ZpHingly wood is bent, a scratch on the taunt part cause fibres to break and spring out to their former straight posi- tion. Similarly, moulded glass that has not been annealed properly tends to straighten out, and a tiny scratch is often sufficient to cause it to crack or chip. Modern automobile windshields are made of safety glass. Two flat pieces of glass are placed together, with a thin layer of a resin com- pound between them. Then they are rolled tightly together, heated, in the required pe. After this is done the windshield should be annealed, a heat process similar to that used to put temper in steel. This causes the grain in the glass to follow the new shape and the stress is removed. But if the annealing is not done properly, the glass will still have a tendency to ervert to its flat shape. The weight of a half - dollar placed in a poorly-annealed wine lass, will cause it to shatter in , Mr, Bruckdorfer said. So will a minute scratch if inscribed at the point of greatest stress. A light tap on the glass at this point also may cause it to break or chip. START FROM SCRATCH A curved windshield, improperly annealed, might crack or chip as result of a small scratch or other tiny indentations such as flying land. --(CP Photo). gravel would cause.

CES coal PH. 5-3589 Blames Poor Annealling For Windshield Marks necessarily crack all the way through, hut a small flake might spring out. This could happen quite some time after the glass was scratched. There is an acid that eats quick- ly through glass, and a small particle of it might etch its way into the taught windshield surface sufficiently to cause the chipping to take place This acid, he said, is much stronger than the acid eommonly stronger for etching glass. It is so potent that i is kept im special lead bottles. It is possible that some concen- trated form of this acid, perbaps entering the air as waste matter from chemical factories, might land on aut bile windshields. If the windshields were already un- der tension because of improper annealing or installation, the tiny pit caused by the acid might be enough to cause small es of glass to burst out from the sur- face, leaving the pock marks. PINHOLES REPORTED Some reports have told of pin- holes appearing in Windshields. This, Mr. Bruckdorfer said. is an entirely different matter. No fault in the manufacture of glass could cause this to happen, and it woul be almost impossible for men to put the holes there deliberately because of the time it would take to do it without cracking the glass. He though it Jule possible pin- holes might be the result of atom bomb explosions. WONDERFUL SUBSTANCE Holding a piece of coal in his hand, he described it as 'one of the most wonderful substances God has ever created." It started him thinking about the many things that have been provided for our use, he continued. "Most people think of coal as only something you throw on the Re-Elect Harold Robinson Of Belleville Zone Leader Gideons from Zone 9 -- from Oshawa, Peterborough, Cobourg, Belleville and Lindsay -- rallied in Oshawa for The day was climaxed by a additional Gideons and their he | guests and members of the National Cabinet from Toronto, Orillia and Simcoe swelled the numbers to more than 150. fire. But when you think that there are 136 by-products of coal then you begin to realize how wonder- ful coal is and God is," he said. Guests were welcomed by Osh. awa president V. A. Henkleman. Canadian chaplain, W. A. Watson conducted scripture reading and prayer and benediction was Oshawa chaplain R. W. Goheen. 'Two solos were given during the evening by Sam Carser Toronto. LEADER RE-ELECTED Earlier 27 delegates from the camps in Zone 9 had met at St. Andrew's United Church for a bus- iness meeting and re-elected Har- old Robinson of Belleville as the zone leader. In a review of past activities Mr. Robinson told of plans to estab- lish a sixth camp in the zone, probably to be known as North astings. Thousands of Bibles had been placed in the establishments cov- ered by Gideons but there were still many more that had not yet received a Bible. SONG SERVICE A song service was led by KE. DeRainville and devotions by Do- minion Chaplain W. A, Watson. Members from Peterborough showed how they inducted a new member and a film called "It shall not be termed void" -- about the work of the Gideons -- was shown. At an informal reception later, members met members of the Na- tional Cabinet. | MOVIE COLUMN Original Sam Spade Rirs Views On Mayhem By BOB THOMAS HOLLYWOOD (AP) -- Howard Duff, one of radio's great private eyes, disdains the art of crime de- tection as practiced on T.V. Duff was the original Sam Spade on radio and his show will be long remembered by whodunit fanciers. 'The show catapulted Duff into film fame. Later he gave it up because of billing, money and other diffi- culties. "That was three years ago, and people are still asking me about the show," said Duff' between scenes of 'Nevada Gold." "'Strang- ers come up to me and say how much they liked it; they ask why I don't get back on the air with it. "The show must have been good to evoke all that interest. The good thing about it was that it had flavor, and that's something I don't find in the TV private-eye series. Sam had the ability to kid him- self. The show could go from very light to very heavy. Yet in the end Sam could always laugh the whole thing off." * KILL WHEN CORNERED 'But the private eyes I have seen on TV are deadly serious. They go about their work with an air of infallibility. And the may- hem! Bodies all over the place. "That was something I was against on Spade. They would have me killing off people right and left. I kept telling the producer, Bill Spier, that Spade couldn't do that. He could only kill when he was cornered and there was no d | other way out." Duff observed that 'Dragnet' has thrown a damper on the private eye shows on TV. The reality of the Thursday night Joe Friday series makes the jazzed-up crime shows seem phony. It was '10 | times easier" to portray a detec- tive on radio, where the element of imagination was left to the listener. REJECTS TV SHOWS Being a star alumnus of the dames-and-detection school, Duff has naturally been offered a bewy of TV crime shows to choose from. He has chosen not to run. None of the offerings seemed to him fo have the flavor of old Sam Spade. Now he's up for another series. He did a TV film called "Ming Lama," a whimsical melodrama about a charter airplane pilot whe takes dangerous assignments. Screen Gems, which produced the film, is angling a series called "Johnny Nighthawk." "It's more an adventure series than a detective opus," explained Duff. "Johnny is a formerace who flew P-38s at night during the war. Hence the name, Johnny Night- hawk. He gets together with his wartime mechanic played by Dave Willock, and they buy am old DC-8 for charter." ACTRESS DIES NEW YORK (AP)--Louise Drew .
