o. Officials Travel 100,000 Miles In C Convention Tou THE OSHAWA DAILY y TIMES. THURSDAY: FEBRUARY 23, 19:8 r SANA SEES GREAT SUCCFSS CHAMBER DRIVE Chairman of Arrangements Committee Believes Will Exceed Objective $12,500 AMOUNT SET Leaders of City Behind the Movement, Says Prominent ~ Alderman-Lawyer Mr. D, A. J. Swanson, Chairman of Arrangements Committee, says all the many details leading up to the intensive campaign of the Chamber of Commerce week start- ing Monday, February 27th and ending - with a Victory Dinner Thursday, March 1st, are nearing completion, One of the innovations that will engender much enthusiasm and insure the Campaign getting off to # good start is the 'Early Bird" Breakfast scheduled for 7.45 Monday morning at Welsh's par- lors,, At this breakfast the en- tire personnel of the workers will meet, the Activities Fund as well .a8 the Sales Army, It is expect- ed that about 130 of the most civ- ic-minded business and profession- al men of the eity will breakfast then and start out from there on their solicitation, Mr, Swanson has arranged at each of the Daily Report luncheons to have the President or the Secretary of a neighboring city Chamber of Com- merce to give a short inspirational talk, On Thursday there will be no: luncheon, but the campaign will end with a Victory dinner to which the workers and their wives will be invited, In discussing the matter furth- er this prominent barrister says that he sees no reason why they should not go away over the goal of $12,600.00 which is the Cam- paign objective. Anyone having their business in this city and their homes here should reason along the lines that nothing is too good for Oshawa. Oshawa for the most of us had made possible our varied success and. it would he a Joor-spirited man that would want 0 take everything from a city d give nothing. "We cheer our ockey teams and applaud our champion Curlers and are proud of Oshawa in the realm of sport. The Chamber of Commerce can direct the future growth of the gity and bring forth all the po- tial possibilities that are hers. e should think of ourselves as Oshawa and Company, with the Chamber of Commerce stimulating action which will be for our indi- vidual good and collective com- munity benefit, The way of the leaders of the city and the 130 men of the Campaign have rallied to this call proves conclusively that Oshawa citizens have great eivic pride. I am confident that when the busy men who are giv- ing their time and money to make this Campaign a success approach the individual business and pro- fessional man that they will con- tribute liberally, and that few if any will hang on for a free ride."

Daytona 'Beach, Fla, Feb. 22, --Frank Lockhart, internationally known race driver of Indianapolis, narrowly escaped death late to- day when he lost control of his powerful Stutz Black Hawk spec- ial during an attempt to set a new world's automobile record, and hurtled with it into the surf while travelling at 225 miles an hour, He was pinned in the driver's seat of the machine by the steel frame of the side, which was stove in by the violent impact of the waves, but a fortunate circum- stance landed the car right side up after it had turned a complete somersault from the beach speed: way, and also kept the machine from going beyond his depth. His face and arms were lacerat- ed and he was thought to have suffered a broken arm and possible internal inuries, but a superficial examination revealed no gerious hurts, The visibility was extremely poor because of low hanging clouds, but Lockhart had decided late in the day to essay tha race against time due to the short length of time remaining for the trial, which, to receive American Automohile sanction, must be made before the present speed ear- nival ends tomorvew afternoon. After two trips over the the measured mile, up and down the beach, Lockhart' was making the first run, northward, He had a start of several miles before en- tering the official stretch, and was believed to have had his racer vir- tually wide open. Timers clocked him at the moment of the spill at 225 miles per hour. Probably Caused hy Rough Spot Just what caused his machine to veer into the ocean was not ime mediately determined, but it was considered probable that a rough spot in the beach or any slight ob- struction such as other drivers had encountered in previous tests was responsible, ; : To those who witnessed ft, sidered miraculous, 'because of the double threat of instant death In the crash of the car and drowning. The little car was dented and re- vealed a definite sag in the mid- dle of the frame, but mechanics' first estimates of damage to it ran from 'total wreek" to 'not badly damaged." At the 'hospital, anaestheties were administered to Lockhart in preparation for a thorough X-ray examination to determine whether an operation was necessary. He was semi-conscious and appeared to be suffering little pain physi- cians said. Between 5,000 and 6,- 000 persons were in the stands when the accident occurred. No Chance To Break Record Lockhart was the only Ameri- can left in the running for a chance at the new record of 206.9 miles per hour set here Sunday, by Cap- tain Campbell, of England. Since neither he nor his machine will he in a condition to race again, be- fore the A.A.A.'s time limit expires tomorrow, the new mark thus will remain in England, where the pre- vious record of 203.7 miles an hour also was held, by Major H. 0. D. Seagrave. MBS. JOHN B. McGALL Mrs. Nellie MeGall, wife of John B. MeGall, Kingston, died suddenly today in Atlantic City.

The case came up yesterday, and is proceeding this afternoon, It is alleged by the several plain- tiffs that the contracting firm who were building the church, owe them the amounts claimed for work and materials furnished. The firm contracted to build the edi- fice, then stopped operations, and the trustees have been continuing the work. In the meantime, it is stated that the firm still owes these plaintiffs the several amounts claimed. Firms taking ac- tion against the defendants are the Carew Lumber Co,, Dixon Gravel and Sand Co., Robinson. jand Son, Mitchell and Martin, to- | gether with 18 private parties. Mr, Hood of Toronto represents | McCutcheon and Boylen, J, F. Grierson is appearing for the trustees of the church, and A. F. Annis, J. A. McGibbon, A, J, Park- hill and Louis Hyman are repre- senting the plaintiffs. A SOUTHERN DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE (Christian Science Monitor) The appearance of Senztor Walt- er R. George of Georgia, as a can- didate for the Democratic presi- dential nomination {is a political phenomenon well deserving atten- tion. Since the Civil War neither political party has ventured to nominate a candidate for the first place on a ticket hailing from the South. Nevertheless, the Demo- crats, in the cases of Woodrow Wilson and John W. Dhvis, were keen to lay stress upon a certain early connection of their candidates with southern communities, while in the Roosevelt campaign the as- sociation of that distinguished and many-sided statesman with the Bullock family of Georgia was not infrequently emphasized. ACCOMPANIMENTS Tea is usually followed so close- ly by dinner that the food served should be plain and in small amount. Following are 'sugges- tions: Sandwiches. Thin bread and but- || ter (white, brown or fruit.) Toast --plain, cinnamon, cheese. Hot biscuits or rolls. Cake, cut in small pieces, or small cakes. Such relishes a olive gherkins, stuffed celery, may be passed with sand- wiches. Tea should be freshly made and poured from the leaves; it should be fairly strong and diluted when served. The service is less formal if the hostess consult her gues and pours the tea according to their tastes; it is served with cream and sugar or lemon, a slice of lem- on being placed in the cup and the tea poured on it. London, Feb. 22--The Old Lady of Threadneedle Street, as the Bank of England js called, had a front row seat today at the most speetacular trading performance in artificial silk shares on the Stock Exchange which the commereial world has ever experienced. The fun began almost before the old lady had properly finished her breakfast, and opened her place of business. W. Boyce Thompson and zlready owner of a thirty-five per cent in- terest in Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting Company now preparing for heavy development of the Great Flin Flon Mine in Manitoba are to be offered the privilege of sub- scribing for one share of Iudson Bay for every two shares of New- mont held with rights extending to holders of record up to and includ- ing Mareh 31, 1928. This mews which came without any previous suggestion of the kind probably ac- counts for recent decline in Hud- son Bay.

V. Newconi, profes- sor of civil engineering at the University of South Dakota, who, during the last several years has been experimenting with highway construction. The {deal super- highway, said Mr. Newcomb, will have no speed limit, no stop and go signs; it will have viaducts for subways at all intersections. and four lanes of travel. Instead of maximum speed lim- its, minimum speed laws will be established for the highways and the resulting acceleration of traf- Ie will actually prevent a great number of accidents, in the belief of Mr. Newcomb, Actual studies, he sald, show that it 1s the slow moving vehicle which holds up trafic and results in accidents when faster cars attmept to pass and cut in ahead of the slow mov- ing string of cars, At least 35 miles per hour on the high speed lanes of travel will be required, Mr. Newcomb stated, The need for the speeding up of trafic is brought on by the fact rapidly exceeding the capacity for which the roads were designated, | sald Mr. Newcomb, the trafic, however, wilk increase the capacity of the highway. This increase of speed on the highways must be accomplished with the highest degree of safety in his opinion and calls for special road construction, Sharp curves must he so con- structed that a car may negotitate them at the same speed as can be safely attained on a straightaway. | In anticipation of the coming high speed highway and the need for a new type of curve construction Mr. Newcomb has worked out a "highway safety curve' which will permit cars to travel around sharp turns safely at from 40 to 50 miles an hour, The first work done by the uni- versity civil engineering of Mr. Newcomb was along the line of widening and spiraling. Later, however, in co-operation with the Clay county officials he worked out the principles of a super-ele- vated curve, with a tilt in the roabed as well as widening. He stated that the amount of widening needed on highway curves is dependent upon the amount and speed of the traffic and the sharpness of the curve, The tilt or "super-elevation" is the new factor which Mr, New- comb has worked out in recent sclenttific experiments and road tests, This tilt also varies in de- gree with the sharpness of the curve and speed and amount of traffic, in his opinion. On the ex- perimental safety curves construct- ed at a sharp turn on the Sioux Falls road near Vermillion, safe speeds of from 40 to 50 imles per hour have been attained in re- cent tests, sald Mr. Newcomb. DIFFERENT CAUSES OF COUGHS Perhaps you are bothered with a constant cough, which has de- fied all the drugs usually taken to check same. I have in mind the dry hacking cough which is so common during the cooler weather, but is some- times present at other times. As you know. a loose cough is one that should not be checked, but this is usually due to bron- chitis, bronchial asthma, tubercul- osig, or other conditions, which of course your doctor would easily locate. But the dry cough can be caus- ed by a number of conditions. Most cases are due to an irrita- tion of the lning of the nose, throat, or bronchial tubes, bug it is worth while to think of other causes. Although the septum between the nostrils is often bent over to one side, mevertheless some cases of many years' standing have been cured by straightening the septem. Another cause is catarrh, whether the kind with excessive secretion, or the other, the dry type. The specialis;y often by touch- ing a sensitive area in the pa- tient's nose can bring on a cough- ing spell. And the application of cocaine to this sensitive area will relieve it. Another cause is the presence of impacted wax in the ear, be- cause the same mnerve that sup- plies the ear has a branch that runs to the nose and throat. The removal of the wax causes the cough to cease. Then, of course, there is the coligh due to irritating fumes, or dust at you -rowrk, and from ov- er indulgence in smoking. So don't think of coughs as be- jung all alike, all due to one cause, and therefore all to be treated alike. Someone has put them into two main classes, the cough with ex- pectoration, and the dry or frri- tant cough. The expectorating (spitting) cough should be en- couraged, whereas the dry cough ounlp shakes the entire system, and should be stopped. Speeding up | Ten Conventions Were Fer] tured By the Chevrolet "National Revue" -- Find Enthusiasm Everywhere for the New Car -- First Performance Was Held in Oshawa With the return to their Osh- awa duties Tuesday of the general sales manager and other important officials of the Chevrolet Motor Company of Canada, one of the most successful series of conven- tions in the firm's history became a thing of the past. Mr, MacKin- non and other members of his staff have travelled hetween them al- most 100,000 miles since the be- ginning of January and have per- sonally contacted with almost every Chevrolet dealer and the vast ma- jority of Chevrolet salesn.en from one coast of Canada to the other. The ten conventions which they held--featured by the Chevrolet "National Revue"--are believed to have been the most remarkable sales conventions in the world. at a theatre for the usual practice of speechmaking is unique in it- self; but the fact that Mr, Mac- kinnon's party carried its own traf- fic manager stage crew, song lead- | er, press representative and more than a carload of scenery made it doubly unusual, Everywhere the Chevrolet party found enthusiasm for the new car and resultant large sales, according to statements mate to The Times. | Usually open weather in the prair- ie provinces during the winter had an encouraging effect upon auto- mobile buying throughout the West, and at Vancouver the gen- eral sales manager was able to re- port to a cheering audience that orders for the current month had already passed the factory's sched- ule of production, The first performance of the hevrolet National Revue for 1928 was held at the New Martin Theatre in Oshawa on January 6, and was received with tremendous enthusiasm. Laymen who saw it heralded it as a distinct advance in selling methods. Again in Toronto on January 12 the Chevrolet play- ers 'did their stuff' before an audience which well-nigh filled the Royal Alexandra theatre, This proved, indeed, to he the largest audience faced during the tour, and provided an acid test for the 'green' actors who had been chosen from the sales department to make up the troupe. They came through, however, with flying col- ors. At the huge banquet--attend- ed by almost a thousand men-- which followed the performance, the dealers of the Toronto district expressed in no uncertain manner their favorable opinion of the show. A long trip to St. John failed to dim the players' ardor, and they took that Maritime city by storm, attracting--as they did every- where else--the largest attendance ever recorded at a Chevrolet con- vention there. The Montreal Motor Show gave' the players an oppor- | tunity for another triumph, A series of one-night-stands that would have taken the heart out of veteran troupers failed to affect the enthusiasm of the Chevrolet men, as they visited Winnipeg, Re- gina, Saskatoon, Edmonton and Calgary in quick succession. The Saskatoon banquet was made not- able by the radio debut of W. C. Marshall and R. M. Mcintyre of the Oshawa office, who filled in on the program when regular en- tertainers were unexpectedly call- ed away, At Edmonton the party were taken over one of the most remarkable grain elevators in the country, holding more than 600,- 000 bushels. A Vancouver convention conclud- ed the tour, and the party returned to Oshawa to assist in supplying the demand for Chevrolats created by their great series of conven- tiops. Mr. Mackinnon declared to The Times yesterday that he was more than satisfied with the re- sults achieved by the transcon- tinental journey, and firmly con- vinced of the value of the new type of convention which his company has devised. With him on the journey were Ewart A. Everson, assistant Cheyv- rolet sales manager; W. C. Mar- shall, supervisor fleet and truck division; R. M. Meintyre, J. M. Simpson, W. J. Mullen, N. M. Me- Iiveen and E. J. Umphrey of the sales department; F. R. Daniels, assistant to the general manager of the Gemeral Motors parts and service department; T. H. Coppin, traffic department, and Clarke Ash- worth, director of publicity, Camp- bell-Ewald Limited. 0TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY Toronto, Feb. 22.--Writing to the press re wedding anniver- sary records some one says: "I no- tice an. account of the 70th anni- versary of Mr. and Mrs. Irish's wedding as being a "record."

P. OPENS Finances of Province Good --Speech from Throne Read (By Canadian Press)' N.B., Feb, 23. -- Ine dustrial expansion created through the development of Grand Falls on the Saint John River and the "marked benefit" produced by the new Mining Act passed at the ° last session of the Provincial Leg- islature were referred to in the Speech from the Throne with which Hon. W. F, Todd, Lieutens ant-Governor today opened the third sessiog of the sixteenth New Brunswick Legislature since Cons federatign, The fact that New Brunswick's bonds sold in November at the highest prices up to that time since the Great War was pointed to as evidence that the "credit of the Province stands justly high' and in this connection reference to the financial statement for the ast year which showed "a real surplus on current acounts for the first time." ENGINE AND ELEVEN CARS ARE DERAILED Kingston, Feb. 22, -- James Walsh, C.P.R, brakeman, was thrown through the cahoose win- dow and badly cut about the face and hand when the freight train on which he was working ran into a broken switch at Roblindale Sta- tion, on the main line of the C.P, R. between Toronto and Montreal, and was wrecked, The engine and eleven cars were thrown off the track. No one else was in- jured. Traffic on this line was held up for about 12 hours, The freight was travelling west at about 35 miles an hour when ft ran into the broken switch, The accident happened about 2 o'clogk this afternoon, and had the freight train pot struck the broken switch there might have been more sepis ous results, as the Montreal filer, No. 19, was following the freight abotu 20 minutes behind at this point. The track was torn up for several hundred yards, and a wrecking crew was immediately called to repair the damage. The flier was sent around, via Sharbot Lake. This accident took place Sunt twelve miles west of the recent fatality at Dockrill, where a nume ber of people lost their lives ows ing to a head-on collision between 8 freight and passenger train, due to the freight overrunning the siding, Died BRAUND--In Oshawa, on Tuesdays February 21, John Braund, be- loved husband of Susanna Starry in his 78th year.
