Lik COHAWA DALY Hi: TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1940 PAGE THREE a Ratepayers Swanson and Stacey Put on More Circus Stunts at City Council Meeting BS Chamber of Commerce, Ro- try Club, Lodges and Osh- awa Dx Times Play Part of Beasts in the Show Staged By Garru- lous Aldermen from the South-east Ward -- But Council Accepts Invita- tion of C. of C. to Hear Hydro Heads Despite a tirade of 'Aldermen D. A. J. Swanson and John Stacey that was directed at the Oshawa m- r of Commerce and The Oshawa y Times in particular, and in- cluded the Rotary Club, lodges, and other bodies in general, the city council last night accepted an in- vitation of the Chamber of Commerce fo attend a meeting in Rotary Hall on Monday, December 3, when chair- man C. Magrath and chief en- ineer F. A, 'Gaby of the Hydro ectric Power Commission will be the speakers, As this meeting falls on the regular city council meeting night, the council will meet the fol- lowing' evening, Tuesday, December No Dictation When the communication from the Chamber of Commerce, inviting t council to attend the meeting in a ody, had been read, Alderman wanson jumped to his feet and said t was a "piece of impertinence." He had been chiefly responsible for organizing the Chamber of Com- merce, but although it had been in operation several months, he said nothing had been heard of it except an apparently ahortive attempt to get the Budweiser Brewery to locate ere, and suddenly when ti time was drawing near it sprung into action, called Horace L. Brittain down to Oshawa to talk on municis al government after the question ad been referred to a council com- mittee for consideration; and now, after the council has been consider- ing the purchase of the electric and gas plants for some time, and had ractically completed negotiations, the chamber calls a public meeting, United Church Not Mentioned "Is this council going to be dictat- ed to by the Chamber of Commerce or the Rotary Club, or the 1L.OF, or the Masons, or the Knights of Columbus, or any other public bodies?" he demanded, "You left out the United Church," interposed Mayor Preston, amid laughter, I'll leave that to John Stacey," said Alderman Swanson, Attacks The Times Then the alderman halted in his pursuit of the public bodies of the of the city, and turned broadside on The Times and its editor, Alderman A. R, Alloway, The latter, he said took advantage of his position on the council to write on subjects without waiting to find out the opin- fon of the coungil, and lent himself %0 certain public interests, declared Alderman Swanson, The council should not have to cater to either the Chamber of Commerce or the newspaper that was supporting it, but should be strong enough to lead, He opposed acceptance of the in- vitation, Defends Chamber Alderman A, J. Graves took issue with Alderman Swanson, It was not courtesy on the part of the council to make such remarks about the Chamber of Commerce or other bodies, he said, The Chamber of Commerce had not heen sleeping, but had been doing missionary work for the city that was worth while and he had no doubt that it would be a real asset to the city, He moved, seconded by Alderman Con- nt, that the invitation be aceepted. It was no time or place to threw lbombshells at any organization working for the good of the city, declared Alderman G. Morris, The Chamber of Commerce was a new organization, and time was necessary for the working of its program, but he thought Alderman Swanson's Back was not in the interests of the city, Alderman Stacey City Clerk Hare reminded council that the meeting fell on the regular eeting night, This gave Alderman John Stacey an opportunity to de- liver a lecture ostensibly on the sub- ect under debate, hut in. reality on he supposed sins of The Times. He elt greatly dissatisfied because he id, nothing had appeared in The imes relative to the letting of the contract for the St, Julien sewer, hen, too, he did not like the paper's treatment of his attitude against the xtension: of Olive avenue, ' "Talk Hydro!" demanded Alder: n S. G, Carnell. Mayor Preston asked Alderman lacey to get back to the subject nder debate, so Alderman Stacey umed his seat, » Report Was Published Alderman A. R. Alloway received rmission to correct Alderman tacey, pointing out that an item had Appeared in The Times regarding the awarding of the St. Julien sewer contract. He suggested that if Al- derman Stacey would read all the sucs of the paper he would get all news, Alderman G. D. Conant informed the council that December 3 was the only night on which Chairman Magrath could come to the city for several weeks, and also that the "Chamber of Commerce had been endeavoring, for some time, to haye him come to Oshawa and discuss the Proposed purchase of the electrical fend gas plants by the city. If the jouncil was so supersensitive that it COUNGIL FAVORS "TW MORE GAS SERVICE DEPOTS Approve Applications for King and Ritson and King and Gladstone Sites A by-law will be passed by the city council amending the residen- tial restrictions on King street east, so that the Domestic Service Station may be erected on the southeast corner of King street and Ritson road, it was decided at the council meeting last night, The council also granted the application of the Cities Service Oil Company to erect a service station at the northwest corner of King street and Gladstone avenue, It will be necessary for the coun- cil to submit the amending by-law lifting the King street east resi- dential restrictions on this corner to the Ontario Railway and Muni- cipal Board for approval, but no serious objection to the by-law is anticipated. On recommendation of the gen- eral purpose committee, no action ill be taken on the request of arding Airways for assistance in levelling their flying field, until more information is received by the council, The company had asked the council to place cinder runways on the field so that mall planes and large commercial planes could land at Oshawa. Subway Application Alderman Conant read to the council a telegram which he had just recelved from A, W, Greene, K, C., of Ottawa, who was acting for the city in the subway aplica- tion before the Board of Railway Commissioners for Canada, and who sald "No judgment yet re sub- way." The Board of Works was given power' to act in the matter of the paving a further 500 feet on Osh- awa Boulevard, Engineer to Convention City Engineer W, C. Smith was given permission to attend an as- phalt paving conference at New Or- leans, Louisiana, December 3 to 7. During his trip the city engineer will stop at Housten and inspeet the sewage disposal plant there, sald to be the most modern In North Amerlea, The council decided to forward to the Dominion government a re- solution regarding a better posi- tion for ¥, W.

Claims Damages J. P, Mangan notified the coun» cil of injuries to Mr, and Mrs, Fred Warren, 118 Gladstone avenue, which it is claimed were due to neglect of the city to properly safe- guard an excavation for sewer work, The council was also noti- fied by Louis Hyman, of injuries to H, Lomax, 285 Haig street, which he claims resulted from improper protection of a portion of sidewalk under repair at Brock and Division streets, The eity is being held re- sposible for damages to these peo- ple, the notices stated, SAYS YOUNGER FOLK FACE HARD LIFE Toronto, Ont, Nov, 20.--Bishop J. C. Farthing, of Montreal, ad- dressing 8 meeting of the Anglican Young People's association here, stressed the difficulty of the young- er generation to find its bearings at the present time of political, so- cial, moral and spiritual evolution, and expressed regret that older people sometimes were too censor- fous and fault-finding with the young people. The church's great purpose, he said, was to try to help young men and women, for if thelr Christianity were weakened they were apt to be carried away into paths that led to danger and dis- aster. The bishop pleaded for more sympathy with the youth of to-day, and he urged the youne people to get out among those with who they fated and infl their liv- es, "Do not be sanctimonious," he advised, "but he brave." resented people who were trying to assist it in passing a measure that it was proposing, it was certainly far afield in its attitude, The motion to accept the Chamber of Commerce's invitation and to hold the council meeting Tuesday even- ing, December 4, then carried 12 to 3. Alderman Stacey, Swanson and E. Jackson opposing, Oshawa's Blue Devils will play two jane with Sarnia Wanderers, the rst in Sarnia tomorrow, the second in Oshawa Saturday.

Harkness Invited to Advise Council Regard- ing Handling of Children's Cases -- Finance Commit- 'perience Will Teach Them Lesson Judge D. B., Harkness, secretary of the Social Service Council of Ontario, will be asked to advise the city on the establishment of a Juvenile Court here, it was decided by the city council last night. Alderman A. R. Alloway iatro- duced a motion to this effect, which was segonded by Alderman C. Harman, Alderman Alloway referred to a recent casa in the children's court here where parents of twelve children were assessed a togal of $108 in court costs alone, magistrate's fees, e¢rown attorn- ey's fees and constable's Tree all being assessed in each case. Many people were under the impression that a juvenile court already exist- ed here but the children's court here was partly an extension of the police court, held in camera and in a different place, and conducted under the usual police court regula- tions and under the Criminal Code and partly a court held under the Children's Protection Act of the Province of Ontario, Alderman Al- loway declared. The alderman had no fault to find with bringing the children into court, he said, but the court should be held for the benefit of the children and not for the finan- cial benefit of either the city or any official of the court, The city council had spent much time this year considering public works ane now he asked that they consider the welfare of the growing bovs and girls, the city's greatest asset, May Teach Them Lesson Alderman J. Stacey asked the status of Judge Hind, and was in- formed that he had been desig- nated a juvenile court judge, al- though no juvenile court in the cor- rect sense of the term had been established here, Alderman Stac- ey was not just sure that any change was necessary, declaring that if the parents were assessed costs to the amount mentioned they would perhaps feel a little more responsible for their children, and the incident would teach them a legson, Doubt that the establishment of a Juvenile court would be in the best interests of the city was also expressed by Alderman D. A, J, Swanson, who, however, agreed with the proposal to have Judge Harkness meet with a committee of the council and discuss the prob- lem, "I don't believe that the fees can be collected in any case," de- clared the alderman. "The fees assessed apply to summary convie- tions under the criminal code, while the charges were laid under an indictable offenses section, The cases are being appealed to a high- er court," Alderman Swanson said that he was not attacking Magistrate Hind, and remarked that in his opinion, men like Magistrate Hind and Mag- istrate Jelfs of Hamilton are the backbone of the magisterial pro- fession, *Atrocions" In the opinion of Mayor R, D, Preston, an atrocious thing In the administration of justice had occur- red. In an endeavor to correct the evil the parents should remit the amount of the costs, he sa!d. Alderman Alloway advised that that the council leave this side of the case until the result of the ap- peal is known and the suggestion was dropped, The motion to ask Judge Hark- ness to advise the city was then carried, It read: This Council requests the advice and co-operation of Judge D, B. Harkness, secre- tary of the Social Service Council of Ontario, with refer- ence to the establishment of a juvenile court in Oshawa, as provided for under federal leg- islation, and that the Finance Committee be asked to consult with Judge Harkness and bring in a report on this mat- ter at an early date."

' It was learned that the thieves gained access to the birds through a wire netting which they tore down, then, smashing a window to the hen house, Not Disturbed Mr. Morgan and his family' were undisturbed all night and did not notice the loss until seven o'clock this morning. The birds had been safely shut in at seven last night. No other birds esca; through the broken window Mr, Morgan said, the weather being cold to warrant the confin themselyes to the inner recesses of the hen house. Detective Sergeant Norman McGee Will Vote on Purchase of Hydro and Will Consult Expert on Establishment of Juvenile Court Here WEATHERMAN We've had four days Of pelting rain And now it's fair And cold again. 4h Oshawa came out of this morning without the usual accom- paniment of rubber boots, raincoats and umbrellas. Four days oi pelting rain had pro- duced the feeling that the rainy sea- son would continue, but even Noah was more optimistic than that. Oshawans didn't send out any bird looking for dry land, but they gazed skyward and saw some patches of blue sky and decided to risk an ov- ercoat and a muffler for one day at least. * If there's any truth in the old pro- verb that before winter sets in the swamps must be full, them winter can set in any time now. The swamps are full to overflow- ing, the rivers are in freshet and the lowlands under water. A few more days like Friday, Sat- urday, Sunday and Monday and the great question would be building an ark instead of buying gas and elec tric plants. But it's all over now--for a few days anyway. The next thing to bother us will be listening to campaign speeches by our prospective aldermen and Mayor- alty candidates. One thing is sure and that is that Fanta "laus will be elected by a handsome majority, "November," says an American pa- per, "is the month of the axe. First the politician gets it and then the turkey." In Canada, however, we first at- tend to the wants of the inner man and then we embark on the less im- port nt task of putting the politician in his place. War is what Sherman said it was and so is the kind of weather served up to us over the week-end. ' In t! : military maneuvres at Ro- tary park recently an Oshawa lieu- tenant rushed up to the commanding officer and said, "Sir, the enemy are as thick as peas." "Then shell them," said the O.C.

Next Saturday the Blue Devils will have the Sarnia team in Oshawa for the second game, i Today, therefore, the Blue Devils are far from blue, If the Blue Devils win on Satur- day we suggest the town band should serenade them if the base drum is not too tight after the recent damp weather, : Last night's vaudeville performance at the city council chambers was a fine show and today The Times, the Masons and the Chamber of Com- merce feel duly costigated by the sallies of the vaudevillians.

Hall Addressed By Organizer Murphy A local branch of the Automobile Workers Industrial Union of Can- ada was formed last night as a re- sult of a general meeting of those interested, held in Knights of Pyth- ias Hall. Harvey Murphy, organizer irom the Border cities, who has been associated with organization work for many years, addressed the local mem- bers on the ideas, constitution and aims of the AW.LU, in Canada. He pointed out the differences between cther organizations, reputed to be in the interest of the unskilled work- men, and the organization which he represented. His address was forceful, dealing witl, the automotive industry as it exists at present.
