FISHERMEN ARE INGENSED OVER CUTTERS VISIT United States Coastguard Carrying Guns Seen Near Canadian Shore (By Canadian Press) Toronto, Ont., Mar, = 28.--The Toronto Telegram today carries the following: Considerable excitement has been caused among the fishermen of Port Credit and Bronte by the appearance of a revenue cutter amongst their fleets. The cutter just cruised up to where Allan Bray, of Bronte, and Harold Joyce, of Port Credit, were picking up their nets on Saturday morning a few miles off Marigold Point at Clarkson, It stood by Bray's boat until he had completed his work and then moved off again. Port Credit fishermen are high- ly incensed over the action, al- though no effort was made to molest the fishing boats, Bronte men, too, are at a loss to know what the cutter was doing so far this side of the international line. She carried guns fore and aft which were plainly discernible.

SON OF KING NEW HIGH COMMISSIONER Interesting Precedent Is Cre- ated by the Church of Scotland (Cable Service to The Times by Candian Press) London, Mar. 28.--The Duke of York, second son of the King, was yesterday appointed Lord High Commissioner of the Church of Scotland in succession to the Earl of Stair, The office carries with it no duties beyond "adding by his presence of civl authority .to the proceedings of the General Assen bly of the Church." The appointment creates an in- teresting precedent, as the posi- tion is almost invariably held by a Scottish peer. Not since 1560 has it been held by a member of the Royal Family. In 1924 under the 'Labor government, the choice fell on a working miner, James Brown, Laborite member of Parliament for South Ayreshire. He discharged the functions of the ancient office with a dignity to which no one took exception, and took up his resi- dence in Holyrood Palace, Edin- GRAF ZEPPELIN RETURNS TO BASE (Cable Service to The Times by Canadian Press) Friedrichshafen, Germany, Mar, 28.~The Dirigible Graf Zeppelin returned to her 'base here this morning, completing a voyage of 3 1-2 days and 5,000 miles over the Eastern Méditerranean to the Holy Land and return. .. ; The Zeppelin was pulled down to land near its hangar at 10.17 a.m. (4.17 B.8.T.) just 82 hours after its departure last Monday mornng, shortly after midnight. TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGES FIRMER Smoke Clouds, However, Not Believed To Be En- tirely Dispelled £ABy Canadian Press) Toronto, Mar. 28, -- While the smoke clouds lifted yesterday along the stock market battle front, only the most optimistic will suggest that they have blown entirely away, With the lightening of the trading scene the local ex- changes gave a much better ac- count of themselves, though the scars of the previous day weie still apparent. New York call mon- ey stood at 15 per cent. all day, but when speculators compared that with the 20 per cent. vs ruvs- day they stepepd into the situation and staged a broad bull movement which was reflected locally in the form of substantial rallies on the part of most of the key issues.

E. O'Neill, principal ot the Oshawa College Instiiute, in an address to the Kiwanis Club of Oshawa yesterday. The important thing learned by the pupils of a school is not so much the bare knowledge that they acquire, but rather the atti- tude they get towards life and iis responsibilities, and there is a danger today that the pupils for- get the gospel of hard work, Mr, O'Neill said. Their physical neces- sides at home and their demands "I for pleasure are met so easily that there is a constant tendency to take school work easily also, and it is a problem that the teaching profession of today is making an effort to face, as it increases the difficulties of the teacher im- mensely. Mr. O'Neill deplored the lack of siudy and thoughtful reading in people as a whole, saying that if the maturer generation would return to a quieter frame of mind and do more reading and think- ing, students would be more in- clined to do likewise. It has al- ways been the man who took time to study and read that has evolved new principles or new methods and inventions, and the lack of this meditation was considered by the speaker to be not a good sign of the modern day. At the meeting Cyril Smith, 'a pupil in the third form of the commercial department in the Col- legiate, was presented with a prize of $10 in gold awarded to him by the Kiwanis club for the best es- say in the lecture of Rear Admiral Gordon Campbell at the Collegiate recently. OSHAWA POULTRY MEN FORM JUNIOR ASSOCIATION HERE Association Gathering In. formation on Recent Chicken Thefts A junior Poultry Association is being organized here by the Osh- awa Pouliry Association, and the junior members are being given one sitting of high quality eggs free to start their own poultry flock. The Association has also decided to hold special competi- tions for chicks in June and August. Junior members will be enrolled by the Association at a small membership fee. Separate classes will be provided for the younger members at the annual show in December for poultry and pet stock, as required. One sitting of eggs from .either = White Rocks, White Leghorns, Buff Leghorns, Light Sussex or Rhode Island Red breeds will be given to each junior member enrolled. The comptitions to be held this summer will be under two classes, for light breeds of chicks under eight weeks old which will be judged at the first meeting of the Association in 'August, and for heavy breeds of chicks under four months old, which will be judged during the first week of August. The Sunbeam Milling Company has donated prizes of 100 pounds, 50 pounds and 25 of its developing mash to the winners in each com- petition. The Associaton is urging poul- try men to report to the officers all cases of chicken stealing in the vicinity. These will be forwarded to the "Ontario Farmer" which is endeavoring to find some means of checking the menace. Reports of successful early hatches include those from Mr. Ward of Beuna Vista Avenue, who hatched 17 chicks from 17 eggs in February, and Messrs. Brook and Rice, and also L. Fisher, who report good hatches. Four Moose Are Killed by Wolves Sault Ste. Marie, Ont.,.

PADDON WILL ADDRESS MEETINGS IN OSHAWA APRIL IS DISTINGUISHED AS- 'SOCIATE OF SIR WIL. FRED GRENFELL Will Speak to Service Clubs at Noon and Public Meet- ing at Night Learning a few weeks ago that Sir Wilfred Grenfell, the medical missionary and general benefactor of Labrador, would be available to lecture at a few points in Canada, the pastors of the city together with the service clubs agreed to in- vite the distinguished gentleman to visit Oshawa. Owing to a break- down in Sir Wilfred's health, he' was unable to come, but his eol- league in the Labrador work, Dr. Paddon, has consented to address the Oshawa meetings. Since September 1928, Sir Wil- fred has been almost continuously at work giving lectures almost daily and on occasions several times a day. During the present year he has been touring the Unit- ed 'States in an intensive campaign to ereate Interest in the great and growing missionary' and humani- tarian work in which he has in- vested hig own life. It was witn the greatest possible regret, but not with surprise, that the commit tee in charge of arrangements for Oshawa learned that Sir Wiifred had reached the limit of his powers and that his doctor had absolutely forbidden him to speak in publie for an indefinite period. At a meeting of the committee called to consider the situation created it was unanimously agreed that the support of all good citizens could be counted on in standing by man who never was known to shirk a duty of to spare himself in the discharge of it. Accordingly it was decided to invite one of Sir Wu- fred's splendid medical colleagues, Dr. Paddon, M.D., Oxon; who has worked- with Grenfell for over 16 years, who knows the Labrador and the Grenfell work all but as well and his honored principal and who, moreover, can be depended on to tell things about Sir Wilfred which he would not tell about himself. One of the great attractions at the Grenfell meetings is the series of pictures showing the perils, hara- ships and wonders of the Labrador. Fortunately these are available tor the lecture to be given by Dr. Pad- don on April 8, in St. Andrew's Church. Information regarding admission and other details will pear in the advertising columns of The Times and it is confidently ex- pected that the public will give am- ple support to the committee in its effort to help a man who helped himself and others to the limit and, as is unfortunately seen, past the limit 'of his powers. This is an the more to be desired because the beneficient activities carried on by the Grenfell Mission necessitates the raising of $150,000 a year, a large proportion of which consists of the proceeds of Sir Wilfred's lectures. At noon, Dr. Paddon will ad- dress a combined meeting of the Rotary, Kiwanis and Kinsman"s clubs of the city. This meeting will, it is expected, be held in Ro- tary Hall, ATTEMPTED THEFT CHARGE DISWISSED Stanley Felleley Did Not Try to Steal Ducks of John Dasyk L 4 : of C Year's Efforts of the Or. ganization. FOR DEVELOPMENT Report Stresses the Desire of The Board of Directors to Serve Its Members and to Further the Industrial De- velopment of the Com- munity. A comprehensive report, in sum- marized form, of the activities of the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce since its inception a year ago, with a forecast of the lines which ft would follow in its future develop= ment, was given by Leon Frazer, the secretary of the organization, at its annual meeting held in the Genosha Hotel last night. The 1e- port stressed the fact that the first year of activity must naturally 'be directed towards. the laying of a sound foundation for its work of the future, and that, for this rea- son, the results achieved might not be so extensive as some people had hoped for. Mr. Frazer, however, dealt largely with the major pro- jects on the program of the board, and gave some details as to. what had. already been accomplished along these lines, The secretary of the chamber dealt at scine length with the con- sideration of proposals for new in- dustries for Oshawa, showing the difficulties which had forced the board in deciding which were souna concerns, and which were concerns that it would be unwise to sponsor, | citing several examples of types of® cases dealt with 'to show the na- ture of some of the proposals. The report gave a review of local con-, ditions from both the municipal and the industrial viewpoint, and was received with much interest and ap- plause by the members who atten- ded the gathering. Mr. Frazer's report is full was as follows: Mr. Frazer's "To the Members Oshawa Cham- ber of Commerce: In submitting the first annual report it i8 'believed that it is your desire that this re-. port should include only those sub- jects which are or have been of par- amount importance. : It is obvious that the internal ac- tivities of your Chanmiber would in themselves result in a lengthy re- port, but nevertheless it is neces- sary for you to' keep in mind that the Chamber acts as & service bur- eau for all members and although this service has covered a wide ariety of subjects it is récommend- ed that where business or civic. pro- 'blems occur to any member they should be referred to your office and you will no doubt be surprised to learn of the usefulness of the in- formation compiled during the past year, and it is the motto of the chamber that all members should receive satisfaction if it is mot to the detriment of other members. A Clearing House ; "Your chamber also acts as a clearing house for enquiries of all kinds pertaining to the eity, and it is obviously necessary that publica tions of all kinds must be Kept posted as to up-to-date information concerning such a rapidly growing city.
