¥, Ee THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, MARCH 22, 1929 PAGE THREE Oshawa Districts Well Served by Hydro, Says ~ Local Plant Manager C..T. Barnes Says the An- 'nouncement of Extension 'to Rural Districts in On- tario Will Not Affect This District -- Rate Here for 'Rural Power Low NO ANNOUNCEMENT ON RATE REDUCTON Manager Suggests Commis- sion Awaiting Action By "Cities on Buying Distribu- tion Plants Before Reduc- ing General Rate in Cen- tral Ontario System The announcement made by Hon. John S. Martin at Brooklin, Wed- nesday evening, that there would be a wide extension of hydro to the rural portions of the province, will not materially affect this district, because it is already well served with power, stated C. T. Barnes, manager of the local Hydro-Elec- tric system, to The Times today. The rates for rural power ser- vice in the Oshawa district are about as low as anywhere in the Province, Mr. Barnes stated. This was due to the presence of several villages in the area served by the Oshawa station, The district has been thoroughly wired and any farmer in the area bounded by Courtice, , Columbus, Myrtle, Ash- burn, Greenwood, and west of Pickering where the Central On- tario system meets the Niagara System, may receive hydro service by application to the local office. Almost every day new applications are received and new services in- stalled, said Mr. Barnes. When - questioned regarding the possibility of a reduction in the whole general rate in the Central Ontario system to conform with an announced reduction in Western 'Ontario, Mr. Barnes said that he could not comment on it, for the reason that local officials were not informed until the last minute of any change in rates. He pointed out, however, that when he ad- dressed a public meeting here last fall, C. A. Magrath, chairman of the Hydro Electric Power Commission of Ontario, had hinted that a re- duction would be made here, al- though nothing further had been said to him, Mr. Barnes stated. The local manager said that, in his op- infon, no change in rates would be ennounced until the several muni- cipalities in the Central Ontario system that were contemplating buying their local distributing Jants, had come to a decision on - matter, Does it.come to this--that your knowledge is nothing to you unless some other person knows it?-- Persius.

OF SAFETY THROUGH PIGTURES SAFETY LEAGUE OFFI CIAL LECTURES IN ~ PUBLIC SCHOOLS Lessons Are Miustrated By Reels of Motion Pictures on Vital Points That with the teaching of the al- phabet, or the A.B.Cs as they are commonly called, should be taught the A.B.C. of safety, was the message which Mr. LaTrobe, a representative of the Ontario Safety League, de- livered to the teachers in the various public schools in the city yesterday afternoon. To the children Mr. La- Trobe showed the necessity of al: ways being careful. oi : AB.C. of Safety The first part of the message which Mr. LaTrobe delivered was illustrated with "stills." The A.B.C. of safety, "Always Be Careful," was taught ne children and they repeated it a num- ber of times. he importance of "stopping, looking, and listening," when coming to a curbstone was also shown by a picture of what happened to the unfortunate one who did not observe this precaution. Good health and safety first go hand in hand and so, if parents desire to keep their children in good health it will be necessary to observe the advice of the Safety League. The danger of leaving boiling water on the floor or chair, of having the boiling tea ket- tle resting on the stove too close to the edge, of leaving nails in a board turned up so that one passing might easily step on the point of 'the nail and the injury result in blood poison- ing, and of throwing skins of oranges and bananas around, as well as of leaving bottles of poison within the reach of the little children was por- trayed. Motion Pictures The second part of the address was two reels of moving pictures. The first reel showed the accidents and trouble that resulted from too much speed. An example of maxim "More haste less speed," was clearly shown, when a motorist, who would have been delayed a few minutes by a standing street car, passed on the wrong side and was met by a street car coming from the opposite direc- tion, The result was a serious acci- dent and many hours' delay. The impractability of children play- ing on the street and the accidents, which inevitably result was also shown. The second reel was entitled the "A.B.C. of Safety," Safety as taught by the teachers in the public and elementary schools 'was outlined. Safety may easily be taught by games in the kindergarten, and lectures in the schoolroom. Two lessons, which were taught, were how to "turn in" a fire alarm, and not to touch live wires. Mr. La Trobe visited all the schools in the city and the pupils received many helpful lessons from his short talk and instructive pictures, and at the conclusion of the address a vote to always observe the A.B.C.s of saf- ety was unanimously carried. PETERBORD FIRM OF CHAIN SHOE STORES OPEN BRANGH HERE R. Neill, Ltd, to Occupy Errol Bruton's Old Stand Alteration work is proceeding rap- idly at 12 Simcoe street north, form- erly occupied by Errol Bruton, which is being remodelled for the R. Neill, Ltd., chain of shoe stores, with head- quarters at Peterboro, ; It is expected that this store will be completed and ready for occupan- cy in about a week and a half, said C. E. Blewett, superintendent of branches for the Neill firm, to The Times yesterday.

This play was give nunder the auspices fof the Albert street church choir. In spite of the unfavorable weather (there was a large attendance, and the proceeds were gratifying. This play has been presented in various parts of the city before anu, although the plot has been divulg- ed to many, it does not fail to at- tract a large number of admirers, many of them seeing the play more than once. The cast played last evening under difficulties, having been able to reach the city only af- ter a great deal of trouble, which wag caused by the condition of the country roads. Mr. Ian Robertson, who played the part of Arnold Miller, the con- valpscent, who was being restored health by his wife, Erma, enact- ed by Miss Hazel Rundle, was di- rector of the company and the act- ing of the members of the cast was a credit to Mr. Robertson and to the members themselves. Mrs. Maria Anna Kemp, Miss Vera Wer- ry, mother of Arnold's wife, who arranged the marriage between Ar- nold and Erma, also tried to ar- range the marriage of her daugh- ter, Marie, Miss Alice Arnold, but Marie had designs on Johnny Prin- gle, Charles Osborne, a friend of Arnold's. Mrs. Pearce, an elocu- tionist, who is well known in the city, played the role of Mattie. Mill- er, Arnold's aunt, in a commend. able manner. The villain of the story was Ambrose Epps, the vil- lage capitalist, Mr. William Mar- shall, who had sent his son, Larrie, Harold Hartley, from his home some years before. Larrie came back to see Violet, Miss Sadie Muir, the daughter of Mrs, Lavina Flow- er, Miss Clara Williamson. Mra. Flower, along with Kittedge, the butler, Frank Walters, added the humorous touch to the story. Vie- tor Henri Rene Antoine Le Grande, the beauty specialist, was played by James Hancock, who made an ex- cellent vivacious Frenchman, The role of Grogan, the policeman, was enacted by Harold Muir. 7 DAYS FOR DRIVING AUTO WHILE DRUNK Three Liquor Cases Heard in City Police Court Today Pleading guilty to a charge of driving a motor car while under the influence of liquor, Gustave Alex, was sentenced to seven days in the county jail when he appeared be- fore Magistrate J.

'The job of climbing the pole was open for anyone, and when gone man was approached about the matter, he flatly stated that he wouldn't do it under any consideration un- less there was semething in it for him which "would justify his com- pleting "the job." His request was brushed aside. Milt Oster, genial member of the Oshawa Fire Department volun- teered to do it. The pole is about 75 feet high and .the 'proposition of climbing it is no easy one. After gaining the pole itself which rises from a steel framework the task became more difficult. A crowd had gathered below to watch the human fly saunter into the rarer atmosphere. He finished his work, however, and came down again having proved that at least one person was not afraid to risk his life for the safe of the flag. NEW STREET LIGHTS AN IMPROVEMENT BUSINESS SECTION Being Installed at Expense of Hydro Electric Power Commission The new ornamental street lights trict of the city are heing widely commented on by me-chants and citizens as making a considerable improvement in the appearaace of the principal streets. C. T. Barnes, manager of the lo- cal Hydro-Electric system, states that the lights are being erected on King street from McMillan Drive to Prospect street, on Simcoe street from Bagot street to Wil- liam street, and on Bond street from Church to Ontario streets. They replace the antiquated two- globe fixture by a single ornamental light that gives at least two and a half times the amount of light as the old fixture. This was proven, said Mr. Barnes, by an actnal test made here. About 80 of the new lights are being installed, and they are the same style as those used in Toronto and other cities, This installations is being done by the Hydro-Electric Power Comms mission, which is bearing the exe pense of the installation despite the fact that it was generally cou sidered that the city was paying for it. The rate on the new lights would amount to practically the same as on the old ones, and in fact, said Mr. Barnes, they would probably cost less to operate. A. AND P.

The Editor, Daily TPimes. Sir: In a recent issue of The Times, prominence was given to the re- port of the sanitary inspector, Mr. D. A. Hubbell with respect to "'garage' dwellings. In his report Mr: Hubbell was entirely fair In his attitude towards this "nuis- ance", He goes on to say that "upon investigation, I find' that the bread earner is out of employ- ment", etec., ete. Now, Mr. Editor, in these days of high prices of practically every commodity, how can a man keep his household going unless he is steadily employed? And yet, so many of us have to struggle on in this worrying, heart breaking way, and if a man is not entirely bereft of dignity, it goes much against the grain to 'go on the town" or to ask for credit on the "trades- men" but "needs must when the devil drives", as regards the latter at least. Then when the spring comes and we are fortunate énough to start work it takes quite a time to settle accounts and before we realize it, winter is again ap- proaching and if a man is of the casual labour type; paid by the hour: wet days, off time, lost in moving from job to job, his aver- age monthly wage is very little. How can a man in this class pay the high rents asked? $30 or $35 per month, or even the $25 charged in most instances for bathroom flats. Unforutnately for the man of low earning power the prices of everything are apparently based on the government cost of living statistics, as regards which, his earning's are away below 'par" sc on the whole he is lucky to have a dwelling at all, in fact, "officially" he is starving. In a way the City of Oshawa is too much advertised, and people in the various parts of the province, who are apparently not finding the part of the country in which they sojourn exactly a "utopia" read such glowing accounts of Oshawa, and ultimately move in, and [ am sorry .to say in a great number of cases, the words of Shakespeare fitly apply, viz, '*'Tis better to suf- fer the sorrows that you have, than fly to others, that you know not of!' In conclusion, I fullv ad- mit that the 'garage' dwellings are in many instances a nuisance. and the majority of the occupants would much rather prefer a deceat residence, would circumstances per- mit. Employers of labour should see to it, that heads of families living in the City of Oshawa even though garage dwellers ought to be given preference with regard to employment. 'Tis a consuma- tion devoutly to be wished," but not acted upon. I think it was Thomas Hood who wrote: "Oh, God! that bread should be 80 dear, And human life so cheap."

An adjournment was granted a week ago, when the de- fence counsel stated that they could secure more witnesses who might have an important bearing on the case. The appearance in court on be- half of the defence this morning of J. M. Godfrey, K.C., of Toronto, aroused considerable interest. He entered a wy of not gulity for the accused. ol. Reiller McKay, of Toronto, is acting for the Crown. Victim's Father A great many witnesses for both the Crown and the defence were called to testify, the first of whom was Levi Etcher, father of the de- ceased boy. Mr. Etcher told the court that before the boy left the house at six o'clock with a news- paper bag over his shoulder, 'bear- ing the name, "Toronto Star" up- on it. The next he knew about the accident was when he was notified by a neighbor that his son had been struck and knocked down on the highway near his home. A mitten, which Nathaniel Etcher had worn when he left home, was identified by the father. It was found on the highway near the lad's body, following the accident. The Star Witness Ronald Welsh, the erown's main witness, was the next called. Welsh lives in Picton and is 19 years of age. Welsh testified that he re- membered the night of February 18 as the night which he accompan- ied George Adamo to Toronto in a truck. "Did you notice if there was anything written on the truck?" asked prosecuting attorney. "Yes, sir,"" the boy answered. The lad then identified photo- graphs of the truck alleged to have been used by Adamo for transpore tation to the city on February 18. Journey Described Details of the journey were ree vealed. It appeared that the fruit dealer arrived in Cobourg, staying at a garage there throughout the night. They left Cobourg, the boy said, while it was yet dark, reach- ing Toronto about 7.30 in the morn- ing. "Where did you go in Toronto?" "To one of Adamo's friends." "How long did you stay thero?" "Onlv a short time." Witness then said he and Adamo went toa store, where Adamo tried to dispose of some apples, that he had brought in the truck from Pic- ton. Jt was then related that the two went to a third store, which Adamo claimed belonged to him. A few barrels of apples remained in the truck, which were ultimate- ly disposed of in this store.
