THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 3, 1929 P.E.L. School Teachers'Salaries linportant Issue at Convention (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Téronto, Ont., April 2.--Strong support was voiced for the teach- ers of Prince Edward Island wno © are at present engaged in a strug- gle against a low salary schedule, by the provincial council of ume Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation meeting here today. Reports were presented at the meeting, which showed that a very poor salary schedule prevailed, in the opinion of the delegates of the council .According to the reports, negotiations wth the Prince Ed- ward Government have been retus- ed and the teachers have declared that they will not open the schools after the Easter holidays uniess they the aforded some satisfac- tion, The provincial council today vot- ed unanimously to show their sup- prt by asking the Ontario teachers to refrain from applying for posi- tions in P.E.I. and also to assist financially by av oluntary subserip- tion should the proposed drastic action became necessary. Dr, E. A, Hardy introduced a motion that was enworsea ror transmission to the Canadian ses chers' Federation that will meet in Quebec City in May. The motion asked that the Provincial Govern- ment be requested to use a fair percentage of Canadian literary productions and pictures in the composition of text books; that tne Canadian Authrs' Association be pasked to assist in the project and that the provinces be asked to fos- ter the preparation of portfolios of reproductions of Canadian pie- tures for use in Canadian schools, A committee was appointed to study the question of creating a memorial scholarship in memory of Dr. Hugh W. Bryan, L.L.D., Ren- frew, a former president, who was associated with the earliest efforts of the Federation - BRITAIN AHEAD IN AIRSHIP PROGRESS Time and Money Spent on Experiments for Latest Craft TRIAL FLIGHTS Minister Forecasts Trip to Montreal Within 12 Months London, April 8.--Plans for the giant airships now nearing com- pletion figured in a recent debate in the House of Commons. Sir 8. Hoare said that the pro- gram of airship construction had been in operation over a number of years. It had been a very great experiment, perhaps a greater one than they contemplated four or five years ago. . They were not content to base the experiment simply on war expe- rience, or on the lessons that might be drawn from the construction of Zeppelins in Germany, They went back to bedrock, and started the experiment almost ab initio, rely- ing in particular on scientific in- vestigation and on a long and pro- tracted series of experiments. They could perfectly well have bnilt two airships--indeed, they could have built 20 airships--in half the time if they had attempt- ed simply to repeat the construc- tion of the old wartime Zeppelins; but they took a different course, and as a result had occupied a long time with their experiments and had spent a considerable sum of money. He belleved it would be shown that that time and money had been by no means wasted, and that we were today, both in the de- sign of the two airships and in our general knowledge of the operation of airships, far ahead of any other * country In the world. . No scientific, technical, or opure ational effort had been spared which would inure to its success. The two airships were within signt mpletion, and it was interest~ ing to note that although they had been designed and constructed une der somewhat different conditions they had taken about the same time to complete. It looked as if both airships would be finished some time in the spring or early summer, and that they would each cost about the same amount of money. The cost in both cases would be substantially more than the orig- inal estimate, but in a great experi- ment of this kind was almost ine evitable. The next stage of the program was that as soon as they had finished their ghed trials, which should take place during the next few weeks, assuming that the trials were satisfactory, a number Whea You Catch Cold Rub On Musterole Musterole is easy to apply and works right away It may prevent a oold from turning into "flu" or pneu- monia.

If those fligths were successful the Card- ington airship--R 101----would be run first of all to Egypt, and then to India, where a mooring mast and shed were already in existence at Karachi. Trip to Montreal Supposing these trials to India were successful, the next step would be--and he hoped that it might be taken within the next 12 months--to run R 101 across the | Atlantic to Montreal, The Domin- fon Government, who had most sympathetically co-operated in this experiment for some time past, had constructed a mooring mest near Montreal. In the meantime other experimental flights would be car- ried out with R 100 and there was every reason to suppose that with- |, in the mext 12 months these air- ships would be flying regularly,' and, he hoped, successfully, and would be beginning to make the Imperial flights to which they all attached so much importance. The further program would, of course, depend upon the results of this experimental period, which, if they were successful, would mark a new era in the development of Imperial communications. He was fully alive to the desirability of keeping, as far as possible, the key personnel for future development, and he hoped to make arrange- ments for some of the expert staff to be retained. He would be glad to make arrangements for any member to go to Cardington and see the R 101. I | 8ir P. Sassoon, Under-Secretary of State for Air (Hythe), replying to points raised in the debate, said that with the advent of the heavy oil engine it was not at all 'certain that in the future, hydrogen, which was a lighter gas, would not be more suitable for airships than he- lium, but they were doing every- thing they could to get in touch with the United States and Canada on the question of helium supplies. In regard to the rise in the price |}I§ of petrol, he could not say whether |} there were any alternative means of supply. They might be able to meet the extra cost cut of sav- ings, but whatever happened, it certainly did not mean that less flights would be taken, The vote was agreed to. IMPERIAL OIL AND INT. PETROLEUM ARE CENTRE OF INTEREST Four-for-one Conversion in Stock Values Announced Yesterday by Directors (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Toronto, Apr. 3.--~Announcement was made yesterday of a four-for- 'one conversion in the stock of the Imperial Oil Company, Limited, and the International Petroleum Company. This alteration in the capital structure of the two oil com- panies does not carry with it any benefits to shareholders, so far as dividends are concerned, as the ex- isting rates will. remain in force, having due relation to the increase in the number of shares issued, The only change, as far as share- holders in Imperial Oil are concern- ed, is that each holder of one com- mon share will receive four of the new shares, and the four new shares will pay the same dividend as one now pays. So far as Inter- national Petroleum goes, each hold- er of one share of the stock, com- mon and preferred, will receive 2 shares in exchange for the one now held, and the two new shares will pay the same dividend as the one now pays. Owing to the difficulties of trans- Jfer, the alteration in capital struc- ture is not expected until some time in June. A special meeting of the shareholders of Imperial Oil will be held here on April 15 to approve the by-law calling for the split in stock. The annual and general meeting of the International Petroleum will be held in Sarnia on April 16 to sanction the by-law calling for the two-for-one split. In the case of Imperial Oil, the stock will remain of no par value. With International Petroleum, the ~ommon stock will remain of no par value and the present $5 par preferred will become $2.50 par value. In each case, the meetings will be asked to authorize the is- sue' and allotment of un-issued shares from time to time for such consideration as may be fixed by the board of directors.
