THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES. THURSDAY, APRIL 12, 1928 ction of $12,000 PAGE THRER Golf Clubhouse Award Contract For Ere Some Offices in County . Buildings Unsanitary, Grand ury Report Says|::::. (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, April 11,--Some of the offices in the Court House at Whit: by are in a "very unsanitary condi- tion, the lighting system is bad, the offices are very dirty and in some cases nothing has been done for a great many years." These state- ments were contained in the Grand Jury's report, presented to Hon. Mr. Justice Rose, presiding over the Supreme Court at Whithy, yes- terday afternoon, The Grand Jury also comment: ed on the Centre street road, which is described as in a "deplorable state,'" This brings to a head the paving of this road, which was the subject of discussion at the Janu- ary session of the County Council, The town of Whithy requested as- sistance in paving the street, since much of the husiness over the road is to and from the County Build- ings, The county couneil did not desire to spend the money, how- ever, and left the question in abey- ance, The jail and House of Refuge were described as clean and in good order, with no complaints from the inmates, Certain improvements are recommended, however. The re- port follows: That we have disposed of all matters brought before us by the Crown Attorney,-- Wee, your Jurors beg to report as to the condition of the roads sur- rounding the County Buildings, which are in a8 most deplorable state, it is almost impossible for automobiles to get near the Court House, and a great many have had to be drawn out, We would recommend that steps be taken at once to have the road paved. Everyone coming to the Court House to do business has to come over this road, and it is cer- tainly not a good advertisement for either the Town or the County to have such a road. We visited the jall and found everything clean and in good order, We found two women prisoners and eighteen men; no complaint was made by any of the inmates, The wash room building is in a poor state of repair. This building should be raised and a cement foundation put in, and the water connected with the sewer, and the roof shingled. We also visited the House of Ref- uge and found everything clean and the inmates contented. We found that in the near future the present ice house will require to be re-built as it is in bad repair. We would recommend that instead of building an ice house a Frigid- aire be installed. Also that a stool for private use be installed. We have visited the different of- fices in the Court House and find some of the offices in a very un- sanitary condition, and the lighting system bad. In some cases nothing has been done for a great many years, and the offices are very dirty. The lighting in these offices is very bad We recommend that the offices of the Sheriff, the Crown Attorney and the Clerk of the Peace be thor- oughly renovated and also that new lighting be installed. With respect to the office of Sher- iff, a proper filing system should be installed. We understand the Inspector of Legal offices has con- dempned the present system. We further recommend that the Crown Attorney's office be furnished. His Honor, Chief Justice Rose, called our attention to the necessity of chairs being in the Court room for the Grand Jury. We recommend that the matter be brouzht to the thank him for his most courteous assistance in the matters submit- ted to ms. ALL of which is respectfully sub- GEORGE ANDERSON Foreman ] F.N, ALFRED J, SLOAN, JR, President of General Motors Cor- poration, who will he one of the chief speakers at the banquet of the Advertising Bureau of the American Newspaper Publishers Association at the Waldor!- Astoria, New York, on April th, NEW EMPIRE OF WEST FORESEEN With Vast Development in Its Natural Resources (Special To The Times) Torbnto, April 11,--A new ems pive of the west with a vast de- velopment in its natural resources and home: markets for the con- sumption of its farm products was envisioned by Cyril T, Young, F. R. G. 8. Superintendent of Develop- ment, Canadian National Raflways, who has just returned from a two weeks' trip in western Canada. In speaking of his visit to the prairie provinces which now scarcely knows the footprint of the white man, would be yielding untold min- eral wealth to the nation. As in the case of Norther Ontario and its mining camps, he prophesied the development of not only home mar- kets for the consumption of food products raised by the prairie farmer, but also new labor markets with a vast purchasing power, "Not only will the farmer hene- fit by such a mining development," sald Mr. Young, "but also such al- lied industries as affect mining. Nor is this development to be con- sidered a futile dream of the fut- ure, It is something that in my mind, must inevitably take place, due to the fact that the world has used mores metals in the past 25 years than in all preceding time. It must be remembered that in north- ern Manitoba, northern Saskatche- wan, and northern Alberta, north of Edmoton, the same precambrian formation exists, as in northern Ontario and northern Quebec. We all know something of the untold mineral wealth which lies in the precambrimn shield of these two provinces and the Flin Flon and Sherrit Gordon section js an indi- cator of the mineral possibilities lying dormant in western Canada. Keeping in mind the tremendous deviepoment made within the last twenty-five years in the older proy- inces of Ontario and Quebec apd that now under way in portherp Manitoya, it is not difficult to peer into the future and picture some- thing of what should take place throughout the west, and of the vast home and employment mar- kets which await creation north of the prairies." Mr. Young stated that with the sound minimg development going oun in the Flin Flon-Sherritt Gor- don area where a large smelter will be constructed, and the present in- creased mining development jin British Columbia and in addition the pulp and paper developments in British Columbia, eastern Mani- toba, and fin fact through to the head of the lakes, western Canada is now building up, not only home markets, but employment centres, where men employed on the farm during the summer may have an opportunity for employment in the west during the winter months. It is in fact all year round employ- ment such as men with dinner . | pails must have, and what is alse very important, mining, pulp and power development, with its allied industries are mot subject to cli- matic conditions as is agriculture. During his fontnight's nip monton, here he delivered a series of addresses on "Resources Devel-) opment--Canada Forward" stated that he found a spirit of healthy optimism prevailing in the west and that business conditions wene good. Jack Dempsey says his fighting days are over. Most people will agree with him.--Kingston Whig- Standard.

PRESTIGE OF LEAGUE AT STAKE IN AFFAIR OF HUNGARY DISPUTE Paris, April 12. -- The prestize and authority of the League of Na- tions is at stake in the question involving Hungary in the affair of the St. Gothard machine guns, de- elares Jules Cambon, Vice-Presi- dept: of the Council of Ambassa- dors in an article on the last League meeting, which was pub- lished Thursday in the Revue des Vivants. "The solution of this problem," he declares, "will permit judgment to be made as to whether or not the League is an active instrument for peace." The article then continues, criti- cizing Hupgary's attitude at the League as unfortunate and regret- ting that the League in face of this problem found itself without machinery to take immediate and effective steps in the matter. "Of all the peoples vanquished in the war, the Hungarians have shown themselves the least resign- ed," says M. Combon. 'Count Bethlen's reply to the League, as well as the language used by Gen- eral Tanczof, the Hungarian rep- resentative at the session, both as- tonished and disturbed members of the League Council. Hungary's altitude seemed to reveal a certain disdain, or even bad faith--some- thing very close to defiance. "As to the League, it must be admitted that its prestige and au- thority are at stake im this ques- tion. Nothing is more natural or legitimate than that the President of the Council should ask that measures be to make sure that in an affair brought before the Council none of the two par- ties involved should jn any way change the conditions affecting the discussion. It is a question of com- mon sense. But this right of the League is contested. This shows that the League, which may have to face most seri- ous questions, should invest ts representatives with wider powers to act during the intervals between League sessions. For, to ask the League to exercise influence im world affairs while refusing to grant jit the slightest initiative or means of action, is to reduce it to absurdity."

DAMAGE ACTION 15 DISMISSED BY SUPREME COURT: Action Brought By George Crocker, Whose Daughter Was Injured SUED TAXI SERVICE Lorne Wilson, Driver, Was Co-defendant--Child Ran Into Car (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, April 12. -- A suit for dagames against Lorne Wilson, taxi driver, and the Johnson Tax! Service, of Oshawa, co-defendants, brought by George Crocker, of Whitby, on behalf of his seven veap-old-daughter, Josephine, was dismissed with costs yesterday morning h vthe petit jury of the Supreme Court hefore Justice Rose. It is alleged that on Sep- tember 9, of last year, the little Crocker girl, while returning from school ran into a car heing driven west by Wilson on Dundas gtreet in the school safety zone. The child was bowled over on the pavement and as a result recelv- ed a glight concussion of the brain and several cuts and bruis- es. Wilson claimed that he had not time to avoid the little girl as she darted out from behind a truck travelling in the opposite direction. Although Wilson was fined $50 and costs in the local police court for reckless driving as a result of the accildent, His Lordship severe- ly rebuked W. H. Kennedy, ecoun- sel for the plaintiff, for making mention of this faet when ad- dressing the jury He declared that the action. of the Whithy court was not the concern of the Supreme Court. Justice Rose charged the jury with deciding whether acéording to the evidence the defendant had exercised proper precaution, while driving through the school zone or whether he could have in any manner avoided contact with the child. He further remarked that in few cases had the plaintiff sub- mitted so little 'medical evidence to determine the extent of the injuries suffered by the accident victim or the expenses attendant thereto. The jury was closeted about thirty minutes before bring- ing in fits verdiet. A. J. Park- hill, of Oshawa, was defense counsel. ILLUSTRATED TALK BY DR.

B. Mothersill, King Street west, has been awarded the econ- tract for the new club house of the Oshawa Golf Club. This building is to be erected on their property at a cost of approximately $12,000, and work will start in about a week. The local club has a course which it is recognized is one of the fin- est in Ontario, and in deciding to erect on it a suitable club house, they will considerably enhance the value of the grounds for this good old game.

It will be fitted with modern conveniene- es, furnished with lockers, and will ave a cosy and commodious lounge room, with fire place and brick mantel.

The architect who has 'drawn the plans for the building is G. Roper Gouinlock, Toronto. Wings on each side make the building ahout square, in construction, and it will be 80x80 feet in size. A special hot water plant is being installed, with a 200-gallon tank, and pipes leading to beth ladies' and men's shower rooms.

ENTERTAINMENT HELD BY COURT OSHAWA Court Oshawa, No. 294, of the Independent Order of Foresters, held a most successful entertain- ment last evening, which bas beep beld by this society, for some time. A very large number of mem- bers' and their friends were in at- tendance, and enjoyed the prograw immensely, every artist, receiving encores. . Mr. J. Gilmour, P.H.C.R. of Cen- tral Ontario, from Toronto, was present and gave an address on the benefits received from the Order, which was much appreciated by all. Considerable interest was taken in the draw for the lovely floor lamp, which was on display, and the lucky ticket was No. 464, held by Mr. A.
