B, MITCHELL FOR MAYOR In Mr, T. B, Mitchell the electors of Osh- awa have an opportunity of selecting for mayor a man who would undoubtedly prove a8 worthy successor to the retiring mayor, Robert D. Preston, who has occupied the office with ability and dignity during the past three years, We are strongly convinced that Mr, Mitchell would make an ideal mayor for this city and for that reason we feel fully justified in giving him our support in preference to supporting his opponent, Alder. man Swanson, or in remaining neutral, There are a dozen or more serious and com. plex problems confronting Oshawa at the present time. Others will present themselves 2s the city continues to grow and develop, For that reason it is imperative that we have in the mayor's chair a man who has wide civic and business experience, who has de- ' veloped mature judgment and whose integ- rity of character is unquestioned, Mr. T. B. Mitchell possesses these qualifications to a high degree. Although not a member of the retiring, council, no one can say that Mr. Mitchell has not fai .ully served his apprenticeship in the city's chief legislative body and in other civic affairs, and on that ground he is fully entitled to consideration. In 1910 he was first elected councillor, in 1912 he was reeve, 1919 second deputy reeve and in 1920 again reeve. On each occasion he was Chair- man of the Finance Committee and in 1920 he was Chairman of Finance of the County Council as well. In 1924 and 1925 Mr. Mitchell was a valued member of the Board of Health, As a member of the Board of Education and latterly as Chairman, Mr. Mitchell's work is well known. He was first elected a member of this important body in 1925 and was chosen as Chairman of Fin- ance, continuing in that position the follow- ing year. In 1927, when the Municipal Board of Education system was inaugurated he was returned in the city-at-large vote at the head of the poll and was elected first Chairman of the new Board, which position he has filled with dignity and efficiency for the past two years. For three years Mr, Mitchell was Chair- man of the Oshawa Board of Trade and when the Patriotic Fund was established by the Board in October, 1914, he acted as Chair- man of the Relief Committee of the Fund until the end of the war. Mr. Mitchell is a consistent churchman, being a warden of St. George's Church and lay delegate to the Synod of Toronto. For three years he was treasurer of the Oshawa Y.MC.A. His standing as a good friend of temperance has never been questioned. Few men in Oshawa have 2 better all round grasp of civic problems than T. B. Mitchell and in our opinion he can be depended upon not only to act as presiding officer in 2 tho- roughly fair and capable manner but also to give valuable aid in the solution of the many yital, pressing civic problems that will be before the city council during 1929. Further- more, we are satisfied that Mr. Mitchell will give a square deal to all classes of citizens. He is not the nominee of any divisive factor in the life of the community. He is not the type of man who will ask or care about a man's politics or what church he attends, or srhether he wears overalls or 2 white collar svhen earning his daily bread. He can be de- pended upon to treat every section of the community and every citizen with equal re- spect and consideration. There should be mo doubt about Mr. "wholesome and vigourous and that its citi- meant to when she entered the store, " perous enough. i THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 2, 1929 Mitchell's election. But the thing for his supporters to do is to roll up such a big majority in his favour as to show him and all others that this community is healthy, zens know how to appreciate unselfish public service on the part of able men of the very highest integrity. COSTLY "Have you an expensive foot?" is the question asked in a shoe company's adver- tisement. "You see, you have an expensive foot," is sometimes the remark of the clerk in a shoe store to a smartly attired miss who is hav- ing a hard job to get fitted. We do not hear of such incidents in the shoe stores in Oshawa, but if she goes into a smart 'emporium in the metropolitan centres, milady will probably be told she has an "expensive foot." What the clerk really means is that, hav- ing sized up the apparent financial capacity of the client, he intends to make her buy a more expensive pair of shoes than she had Ac- cordingly, he brings her all the shoes at a reasonable price that he knows will not fit her, and persuades her that only high-priced shoes will be comfortable on her "expensive feet," Clerks are the same in other lines, not only feet that are expensive, Milady may go into a jewellery store to buy a modest ring, but the clerk, if he thinks she has the price in her purse, will manage to convince her that only a more expensive article will suitably adorn her hand. Or it may be she enquires about a fur coat. The clerk will find that milady has an "expensive back." This "expensive" idea can be carried into almost any line of business if you look pros- It is EDITORIAL NOTES Honesty is always the best alibi, The only old flame we long for today is summer, A lot of people speaking their minds have- n't any. When a man thinks he has found a jewel he gives her one, One bad thing about summer is it doesn't come in winter. Your tuition in the school of experience gives you intuition, The leading figure in anything is usually the leading figurer. The things that go on forever are eter- nity, the brook and tongues. Very few barbers have yet learned to talk entertainingly about embroidery. It isn't rea] charity if you feel cheated when you get no gratitude in return.

Bit of Verse RRR ASH TREE AND HAZEL "Pray that your flight be not in wintry weather," So has He warned us, tender for all other; Yet it was winter when 'they fled together, He and His mother. "Trees of the woodland give me now your fuel, That warmth and comfort His sweet life may cherish; Else in the midnight dark and cold and cruel My Son will perish." Answered the ash, "My branches grow too greenly, Less fit to kindle than to quench a fire; Yet to give all is not to offer meanly Have thy desire." Answered the hazel, "Though no more I flourish, Though leaf and blossom fail the corpse to gladden, If the world's Saviour thus my death might nourish, I should not sadden." Therefore the hazel bears her catkin token, Long ere the chilly winter has departed; Therefore the ashwood burns when freshly broken, Ever warm-hearted. |do_with their general health That Body of Pours By James W.

EIGHT DIE WHEN TRAIN STRIKES CAR AT LEVEL CROSSING Comwall People Killed in a Terrible Accident Near Cataraqui Kingston, Jan, 1, == The worst tra- gedy that ever occurred at the Cata- raqui level! crossing of the Canadian National Railways was that of Mon- day afternoon when eight Cornwall people met death as the Canadian National Railways flier running from Toronto to Montreal crashed into a light automobile, The dead are: Mr, and Mrs, Alex- -ander Dupuis, their two sons, two daughters, and Mr, and Mrs. Ildgar Rivet, The latter had been married only in August last, erly of Proctor, Vermont, Moving to Peterboro The Dupuis and Rivets were going to Peterboro to set up residence. The men of the party had been employed as stone-cutters with the Cornwall Stone Company and were transferred were to begin work on Wednesday. shipped by rail, The Cataraqui crossing three miles west of Kingston on the Provincial highway. after 1 o'clock the auto approached the crossing, and apparently the train, fast approaching west, until he was near the tracks. According to people near by, he slowed to about fifteen miles an hour, whereas the speed at which he had been going just before would have carried the car over in safety. The automobile was caught on the right track and carried eastward toward Kingston station nearly three-quar- ters of a mile before the train was brought to a stop, Identification Difficult The spectacle was a gruesome one, the rail bed covered with blood, The eight victims met instant death, The bodies were so badly mangled that identification of them was impossible, Doctors and undertakers, with ambu- lances, were quickly on the scene, and the mutilated bodies were picked up and carried to Kingston, It was found impossible to even count the number of victims, so badly cut up and scattered were the remains. Those who assisted in the terrible task of gathering up what remained of the victims said that a majority of the party had their heads com- pletely severed from their bodies and the work of those charged with assembling the remains was thus made all the more difficult. The track for a distance of approximately three-quarters of a mile from the scene of the accident bad the appear- ance of a shambles, Car Carried Long Distance The car was carried on the front of the engine for threequarters of a mile east of the crossing, at which point the train was brought to a standstill, and ded the combined All were form: | TEES ey, (8 VS -- Ly + I: E-.

The car itself was a com- plete wreck, portions of it having been strewn on either side of the track. The only way of identifying the make of the car was the cylin- der-head, which, intact, was found on one side of the track. The license number of the automo- bile was 25-520, issued at Vermont, U.S.A., while the cylinder-head of the engine in which the party was rid- ing bore the manufacturers' number, 354453. The driver of the train, J. Whalen, could give very few details regarding the fatality, and stated that he did not see the car until it was struck by the fore part of his engine . Coroner Dr. M. J. Morrison will hold an inquest tonight in connec- tion with the level crossing tragedy at Cataraqui, in which the eight occupants of the motor car were killed. Dr. Morrison has been in- vestigating the report that two children warned the driver of the car about the railway crossing, a mile away from the crossing, but thus far has mot been able to get verification. "If there is any per- son who has information of this character I would be very glad to get it," he said today. It was learned that Detective Truax of the Belleville police force was a passenger on the train that hit the auto and as soon as the train was brought to a standstill visited the scene of the wreck and that he will have certain evidence to offer. Thomas Burtch, who lives near the scene of the accident and who was an eyewitness, with the mem- bers of the train créw, will be three chief witnesses to be called at the inquest, while it is under- stood that a number of other people residing at the wviilage of Cataragui have also been sum- moned. J. Riguney, K.C., Crown Attorney, will be present on behalf of the Crown. The bodies of the eight victims are still in local undertak- ing pariors and no arrangements have as yet been made for iater- ment. It is understood that all the bodies will be buried here, prob- ably on Wednesday.
