i -------------- iii » THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, AUGUST 24, 1928 Chief "Provincia PAGE THRER Juvenile Delinquency On Wane in Oshawa S. Inspector Says C. A. An increasingly satisfactory situa- tion in the juvenile delinquency of Oshawa, was commented upon this morning by O. M. Alger, Inspector of the Children's Aid Society of the County of Ontario. The establish- ment of a Juvenile Court in the city is responsible to no small extent for the decrease in crime among the ju- veniles, and the work of the Rotary Club is also an important factor, thinks Mr, Alger, The Children's Aid Inspector relat- ed to The Times representative to- day many incidents which have come to his notice during his term of of- fice, illustrative of the juvenile de- linquency situation in the city, We have had no serious crime reported among the juveniles for many weeks, he said, recalling with a smile the epidemic of burglaries and thefts that . had 'been committed by boys of 16 and under during the spring. "While there have been several cases before the Judge of the Juvenile Court this summer, they have been mostly of a minor nature, and not of any parii- cularly alarming proportions, . "The establishment of a Juvenile Court in Oshawa, for this city and the County of Ontario, and the ap- ointment of Major A, F, Hind as Judge, was a wise move, and one that has helped materially in sup- ressing many forms of delinquency, The biggest factor in the value of the Juvenile Court, is in the power that he have to bring parents before the court where necessary, In many cases, where parents have been hail ed before the judge, a considerably improved condition has been noticed in both the behaviour of their own children, and also of all the children of the neighborhood, In nearly ey- ery case it has had a remarkably good effect,' Mr, Alger remarked, "Summer holiday time would be the worst months of the year for ju- venile delinquency, were 'it not for the provisions that have been 'made to keep the children busy and, there. fore, out of mischief," said Mr, Al- ger. "The Rotary Park, on Centre street, and the Red Cross cottage at the lake, are the two places most largely responsible for the success noted in keeping youthful energy dir- ected in right channels this summer," Speaking of the value of the Ro- tary Park, Mr. Alger mentioned the case of a family living in the third story of a tenament house, in which the parents and three children were in court recently. With no place to lay except the streets, the children had become involved in mischievous ranks that finally brought trouble, Khe parents were reminded by Judge Hind of the playground for the chil- dren afforded by Rotary Park, and no further trouble is expected from these Loys as long as they are kept busy swinging and jumping and swimming there. While a playground supervisor is needed at the Park, there is no doubt that one will be provided in time, perhaps by the Club itzelf, Mr, Alger stated, This summer many mothers haye been noticed at the park themselves watch- ing their children's play hour, but a supervisor would take the place of a mother who could not herscli be pre- sent, The Red Cross Cottage at Lake- view Park is a real help in keeping child deling y at a minimum, in Mr. Alger's opinion, "Returning from the cottage, browned and muscled, and with two weeks behind him in which he has been able to express himself to his heart's content, some- how the crisis is passed, and the boy simply doesn't want to get mixed up in 'shady' tricks," he observed. During the school term, it is notic- ed that the boy who is in regular at- tendance is never in trouble, and it is the same in the summer. time-- keep him busy and you keep him out of mischief, Mr. Alger says.

' WAR CEMETERIES OF GREAT BRITAIN ARE DIGNIFED Mammoth Pilgrimage to France Leads to Comparisons London, Aug. 23 --The recent mammoth pilgrimage from Great Britain to the hattlefields around Vimy and Beaucourt, in which 11,- 000 persons participated, has led a correspondent of the Manchester Guardian to a comparison of the cemeteries of the four pations most prominently engaged in the fight- ing in Northern France, The German cemeteries, says this correspondent, are certainly tidy, but there are no flowers, no grass, In every French cemetery visit- ed all the men at work had been badly disabled during the war, on the French graves, each with the in- scription "Mort pour Ja France," are suffering, too , from the weather. The Belgians have taken their time with their compara- tively few cemeteries, which are now exceptionally beautiful. The headstones are made of the ordin- ary blue Belgian stone and are ar- ranged in semi-crcles, The United States cemeteries seem to suffer from a superabundance of some- what pretentious memorials. The British cemeteries, as is well known, are dignified and severe. It was a happy: thought of the Im- perial War Graves Commission (0 ask Sir Reginald Blomfield to de- sign the Sword of Sacrifice and Sir Edwin Lutyens the Stone of Re- membrance. As this single stone in many cases weigh at least ten tons the British will be commem- orated in France with memorials that are probably as enduring as the Pyramids, Germany Berlin, Aug. 22.--Germany, in her position of diplomatic isolation, is ing mew friends.in the world. Italy and Russia are generally ad- mitted here to be the two best pos- sibilities for Germany's friendship program. The question of Germany's position in her relations with other world powers is receiving comsider- able attention here and Theodor Wolf, editor of the influential Berliner Tageblatt, this week voiced the opin- ion Foreign Minister Strese- mann "will profit more if he used the road leading to Rome instead of that leading to Paris" It is obvious that there is a deep- seated change of policy imminent and, in any event, the whole atmosphere in the comsideration of the question foreign relations has undergone a Seeking to Im Relations Wi ove Italy-Russia marked change recently, especially since the recently announced Anglo- French naval agreement. ¢ However Germany has one conso- lation in her belief that the naval agreement is directed as much against the United States as it is against Germany and that it antagonised the western republic as much as it did Germany. The newspapers here make a spe- cial fefiture of the Italian displeasure with an Anglo-French bloc in the in- ternational arema and particularly in the declaration that the blac will im- mediately turn. the tables against Italy in the Balkans. Rome corres- pondents of the democratic Berlin press even envisage the possibility of a diplomatic break between Italy and Jugo-Slavia shortly. Ed Federal Government's Plan of Assuming Half Cost is Accepted By Three West. ern Provinces, But No Ac tion Taken Here--An Im. portant lssue -- Suggest. ed Means of Providing Special Revenue Needed for This Purpose . (By Wiliam C. Pollard, LLB, Chairman Educational Committee of Ontario County Council.) The Dominion Parliament in both houses has passed an Act providing for the payments oi Old Age Pen- sions of twenty dollars per month to people in nced after they have attained the full age of seventy years, and who in most cases find themselves in the declining years of life without means of subsistence. Residence in Canada for a consid- erable period and other safeguards are required to prevent abuse of pri- vilege, The Dominion Government pays one-half the cost and cach province enacting the necessary legislation pays the ather half. On this basis three of the western provinces have accepted the principle and have sup- plemented the legislation, therehy caring for the aged and needy people in their respective jurisdiction, Ontario Inactive The Province of Ontario, the heav- iest taxpayer to the Dominion Treas- ury, will pay forty per cent, of these pensions, but at present the aged people in this province will receive no benefit, Why? Not a member of the Ontario Legislature has raised this matter on the floor, though the Government placed it in the speech from the Throne in order to bring the matter to the attention of the members of the Legislature early in the session of -1928, A portion of the population have an idea, and frequently express it, that it is the fault of the old peo- ple themselves that they have not a competence for their old age; but if one looks into the subject care- fully, it will be found that a Bank chartered by the Government has failed and hundreds have lost a life's savings, Those were the most frugal of the population. Others lost out in- vesthg in the bonds and shares of joint stock companies chartered by Parliament and let loose on the peo- ple without proper safeguards for protection. In the case of others, ill- health has leit them bereft of means in life's declining years, Why not give these people a ray of sunshine in the form of small pensions? The old age pension scheme works well in England and New South Wales, The Gasoline Tax was said to be impracticable and hard to collect when it was advocated by the writer and others in 1922-23, but now the old toll-gate system works well and those that use the highways the most frequently have the greater portion of this tax to pay, but it will have to he materially increased instead of diminished just prior to a provincial election. Now where should the tax neces- sary to provide the revenue for Old Age Pensions be placed? I would suggest that a super-tax in addition to the present succession duties be placed on all deceased estates over $25,000 sufficient to pay the provin- cial share of these pensions and their administration, The wealthy classes get away with a4 minimum amount of taxes in a modern democracy compared with what they had to contend with in the middle ages. Most of the old fuedal lords had to provide their own army and protection and pay taxes in the forms of fines, forfeiture and relief-- to say nothing of the benevolences and ship-money which were often ex- tracted, Some of the rich would argue that they pay keavy taxes now, This is true; but in how many cases is the burden passed on to the ultimate cons sumer i.e. the poor people? Then again it is said that the pay- ment of pensions by the state would not be conducive to thrift and in- dustry, This was said of Mothers Pensions, but who has noticed any difference? The more people get the more they- will strive for, as few know what they may require before they reach seventy years and their earning power thereafter except in a minor number of cases is nil. This should prove to be an extremely popular tax, as most people meyer dream of having an estate of $25,- 000 when they die, and of course small estates are exempt from duty. The rich classes will be multiply- ing in Canada and even now the rey- ecoue would be considerable if this super-tax were enacted and the reyv- enue to provide old age pensions were forthcoming. NEW METHODS, NEW TIMES (Hamilton Herald) The Hudson's Bay Company's plan for a 400000-acre colonization scheme in the Vermilion and Alexandra dis- tricts is about as far removed from the original purposes of the ancient trading concern as its chain of up- to-date department stores. TAKE LESSONS IN FRENCH (Toronto Saturday Night) It is impossible for any of us adequately to appreciate the French Canadian attitude, not only towards public affairs, but also towards life, with all itr comprehends, whether of laughter or of tears, unless we know somewhat of the rich and expressive Janguage that they speak. J START HUNT FIR GUELPH FIREBUGS (Continued from Page 1) retiring rooms. Coot but quick ac- tion of the management averted a panie, The third theatre in the city to fall a victim was the vacant Re- gent, on MacDonnell street. A fire was found in the building om August, 12,, and., investigation showed that some one had pried plaster from the walls and insert-, ed waste paper in back of the lath- ing. Attempt to Burn Church Positive evidence that an at- tempt was made to destroy St, Paul's Lutheran Church on Wool- wich street, when charred remains of paper were found inside. Luck- ily the fire had died before ignit- ing the structure, although the carpet was scorched. The paper had evidently been lighted and thrown through a broken window: The second suspicious fire was on May 14, when an attempt wa: made to burn the home of Robert Kells, at 11 Oliver street. Next was a blaze at the Regent Knit- ting Mills on Farquhar Street, on June 6. Incendfary material was found at both fires. Another blaze was found on the latter day at 21 Nottingham street, when a barn was burned, but this was thought to have been the work ot children, The second fire on August 12, a Sunday, was in Knox Church, Quebec street, when a hard battle was fought to save the edifice. There is some official doubt if the fire was set, but it may have heen the work of the fire hugs. Two other blazes on the same day, making a total of four were registered when flames destroyed the paint shop in the rear of th: commercial motor bodies plant on Woolwich street, and a barn of the Goldie Milling Co., on Cardi- gan street, The blaze at the for- mer place was serious and some- what doubtful but it is believed that pyromaniaes fired the latter place. Firemen had a stiff bat- tle here to save an adjoining plant and stables, Further evidence of activity of the fire bugs was found at a blaze the following day when a shed in the yard of Steele's Wire Works, was destroyed and at 10 p.m. in- cendiary material was found after a blaze on the porch of Max Nich- ols' apartment at 7 Quehec St, For five days the torch hearers rested and then revived their ac- tivities with two blazes, both sta- bles. At 1 p.m. firemen were called to those of C. W, Barber on Woolwich street, where inflam- mable material was found there. Later thy stables of the Cray Coal Company were hurned, with the loss of four horses. Incendiary matyrial was also found. The following day a fire was set in a shed at the rear of 82-84 Norfolk street, owned by T. Ross Barber, 2 brother of one of the previous day's victims. Thrust Woman Back Into Flames Three attempts were made yes- terday and the day before to fire the house owned by Thomas Mar- croft. At 1.50 a.m. Tuesday a Jounge on the front porch was burned and that night a shed in the back yard was destroyed. A short time after one o'clock ¥yes- terday morning some one thrust a handful of burning paper into a room occupied by Mrs. Charles Elvin the housekeeper, and when she fouyht the intruders, she wad "thrust back into the flames suffer- ing burns on her right leg, accord. ing to her story. Another blaze was fought on Tuesday when firemen responded to a call to stables on Church Lane, owned by W. H. Beattie and rented by Guthrie Bakery. Attempts to kindle a fourth blaze on 'Tuesday night failed. Constable McCord on his round found oil soaked paper against the rear door of Richardson's plumb- ing store on Quebec street with a saucer containing oil beneath. In the saucer was part of a burnt match. It evidently had flickered out before. igniting the finflam- mable stuff. Police and firemen are having little sleep. Eight calls were re- ceived on Tuesday night and each meant jnvestigation. Nor are the citizens having much more so stir- red are they with fear that their home or business fs marked for the next attack of the vandals. Detective Hauck is one of those having the least rest. He has quantity of scraps and rubbish found at scenes of fires, and mer- chants and tailors have alread. been called to attempt to iden fy some of the pieces of dress and bosiery discovered at the fires. Chief Robert Allen Knighton has assumed charge of the fire-fight- ing work, under the care of Cap- tain H. Sutton, during the chief's vacation. Fresh effort will made to secure a heavy pgna'$y for the pyromaniaes when they are captured. The maximum penalty for arson under Chaptey 511 of the criminal code is life im- prisonment with a sentence of five years for the "burning of chattels valued at more than $200." | Health Officer Inspects Queen Old Age Pensions and Responsibility on the Part of this Province IGNORANCE OF LAW INFLUENGES COURT IN LOWER FINES Cleveland Youths Shown Leniency for Breach of Liquor Act Two Cleveland college youths, Canada, and who became mixed up with the law while indulging in a drink in a local cafe recently, were given lighter fines yesterday by Magasitrate Hind, on the strength of the fact that they were unaware of Canadian law in respect to lig- uor enforcements, and given their liberty, J. C. Calder, one of the boys, was formerly sentenced to thirty days in jail in lieu of not paying the $100 and costs fine then im- posed, while C. J. Morgan was fined $20 and costs. The latter paid his fine, but the two of them did not carry sufficient money to cover the larger fine. It was stated that the matter was to be taken up with the American consul, but whe- ther this was done or not, is not known. The $100 fine was reduc- ed to $10 and both boys sent on their way again.

J The letter reads: "Owing to the most unfortunate illness of my friend and colleague, Sir Austen Chamber- Jain. it will be my privilege to sign the treaty renouncing war, on behalf of His Majesty at Paris on Aug. 27. "As the, Minister entrusted with this duty I have seen with profound satisfaction that, by direction of Your Grace and the Archbishop of York, the signature of the treaty is to be made the subject of prayer and Lord Cushendun Praises Plan To Pray for Anti-War Treaty thanksgiving in parish churches throughout the country. "The treaty, as the American Sec- retary of State has wisely warned us, may not immediately finally banish all war from the earth, but it will be the most impressive decjaration ever made by mankind of a determination to preserve peace, and will inspire the nations with confident hopes such as they never have had until now, of de- liverance at last from the sickening abomination of war. There can surely then be presumption in believing that, without divine sanction and guidance, such consummation could not have been achieved and it therefore seems entirely fitting that this memorable evnt should be. associated with the public worship of the national church in the manner enjoined by Your Grace, Fairplay, Golo, Aug. 23.--A mother who sought'to hide what she felt to be a family disgrace by keeping her insane son chained in a cabin for 11 years, saw her secret exposed Tues- day, and watched in sorrow as the madman, now 45 years old, was led away to a state asylum. For years whisperings of a "wild man" kept prisoner in a cabin on the ranch of Mrs. Joseph Beeler had gone up and down this rugged country near the Rockies. But their is a neigh- borly spirit of tolerance among the people of Black Mountain and the rumors were dismissed with shrugs. Sheriff Fred L.

"Good-by, Harry," she cried when her son was taken away, "be a good boy.
