MANY YEARS OLD FOUND ATWHITBY HARBOR Order Forms and Telegraph Messages Included in Discovery WELL PRESERVED Indited Several Gen- "erations Ago (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, April 15.--A number of documents, relating to the business transacted at'the local harbor, sev- eral generations ago have 'been found behind the east pier of the harbour. The documents which in- clude order forms, and telegraph messages, are in a good state of preservation. The 'writing is quite legible and indicates that the book- keepbrs of that time were experts in excuting neat penmanship. One document which came into the hands of The Times is dated Whitby, August 14, 1856, and 1s addressed to Messrs. Jas. Rowe & Co., which at that time controlled practically all the shipping out of the harbour. The manuscript reads thus: "Please deliver to Mr. David Crawford three barrels of water lime." A large number of the orders pertain to this commodity and ap- parently considerable water lime was shipped into the harbor by Jas. Rowe and Co., and stored in fits warehouses, thereafter to be sold to contractors, farmers and others. Another document is a telegraph message from T. M. Clark, of Toronto, the message being written on an old | Montreal blank, band reads thus: ENTATIVE -- JAMES HOLDEN to Jas. Rowe and Co., Telegraph Company It is dated July 27, 18656, "Any vessels in port now, we want one for Brockville," Older residents of the commun- ity will remember when Jas. Rowe & Co., conducted business at the harbor, of the company, schooners and when the break- water was repaired there were em- ployed in carrying stone.

FOR BUS STATION No Waiting Room Accom- modation Has Yet Been Provided (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, April 15. -- Whitby is still without a bus station as the former waiting room, situated in the Bank of Commerce building, Dundas street east, has been closed ever since the Toronto Transporta- tion Commission took over the Del- Ray bus line and the Toronto-Osha- wa franchise of the Collacutt coach system. It would seem to be nec- essary for the T.T.C. to take prompt action in securing a new depot as bus passengers have been much inconvenienced, particularly on rainy days. A feature of the T.T.C. purchase is the fact that busses may operate between the two cities every hour insead of every two hours as hith- erto. Reports to this effect are contained in today's papers, FINE SERMON BY REV. A. L. RICHARDS "Humanity of Jesus" Is His Subject at Evening Service (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, April 15.--""The Human- ity of Jesus," formed the subject of an inspiring sermon preached by Rev. A. L. Richards at the evening service in the United Church last night. In defining the character of Christ, the pastor asserted that there were four predominating qualities, forgiveness, love, humil- ity and purity. In dealing with the first quali- ty, Rev. Mr, Richards pointed out that Christ's attitude of forgiveness was directly in contrast to the spir- it of the day. The man who did the most for his friends and con- founded his enemies could well be satisfied with himself. Jesus, how- ever, forgave his enemies and did good to all. He who wished to follow in his footsteps would have to practise this quality of Christ. Jesus' love was not confined to his own small circle of frienus, but embraced all classes of humanity. There were many instances where he had formad friendships with persons of twisted character whom others might reject. Those who loved as Jesus loved would have to give their lives in service for vaeiwr fellow men. The speaker pointed out that humility as shown by Jésus was an unpopular virtue at that time. 'I'ne Romans who were then rulers of practically the whole known world prided themselves upon their ar- rogant spirits. Humility in their eyes was objectionable and not in keeping with the bearing of a free citizen, Jesus, however, was hum- gle, and was never given to self- advertisement, He set himself to perform difficult tasks and accom- plished them quietly. There was no doubt the pastor continued, that men had lived be- fore Jesus' time who strived to live pure lives and loathed evil. Christ, however, was perfect and none shrank from impurity more than he. Speaking in particular to the young men and women in the congregation, Rev. Mr. Richards emphasized that if they wished to follow Jesusu their lives would have fo be pure. They would also have to strive for the qualities of giveness, love and humliity. Music for the evening service in- cluded a splendid anthem by the choir and a pleasing duet sung by Arthur Lynde, tenor, and William Apres, baritone. Englishman Leads Pyles Marathon Columbus, Ohio, April 15.--Pete Gabuzzi of England and Ed.

Alex. Edmi- son, B.A, of Toronto, gave an in- teresting talk to the boys. Mr. Ed- mison prefaced his remarks to the younger people by a five minute talk to the parents, in which he stressed the point that a boy's re- spect for his parents wag based largely on the interest taken by a father and mother in the activities of their children's lives. A father might be a Czar in the business world and the mother a leader in social life but, if not interested iu what appealed to their children in the way of sports, etc., they would have little or no influence in the proper moulding of their charac- ters. In speaking to the boys, Mr. Ed- mison said that after choosing the careers they wished to follow, in educating themselves to remember that education did not consist sole- ly in gaining knowledge but in aiso striving to help others. All through his remarks he emphasized the point that success and happinese were much more easily attained by usefulness to others. 'Mr. Edmison considered that the church, the home, the school and tolerance were essential in the proper builu- ing of character. The choir under leadership of J. H, Knight sang a beautiful an- them, "To Thee, O God We Fly," the solo being particularly well sung by Mrs. C. Arthur Cawker, here was also a pleasing duet b) Mrs. Chas. Rice and Mrs, A, Cor ville. REPORT OF WELFARE COMMITTEE GIVEN Assistance Given Last Year to Eleven Families in town Bowmanville, April 15.--In the first annual report of the Com- munity Welfare Committee present- ed to the town council at its regu- lar meeting, it was stated that as- sistance had been given during the year to eleven families at a cost of approximately $80 in cash, this amount not including the clothing donated, which was contributed to the committee. The committee, which was form- ed in March of last year to co- ordinate the activities of local so- cieties in their charitable and re- lief work, recommended to the council that, since the work during the year had shown that there was need of the organization in the community, it be officially recog- nized by the civic fathers as work- ing under the authority and ap- proval of the mayor and council, They also recommended that they be empowered to recommend to the council, on the presentation of their annual report in April of each year, a slate of members of the commit- tee for the ensuing year, and that the chairman of the town's poor re- lief committee, be exofficio, a mem- ber of the committee. For the en- suing year, the committee recom- mend that its present members, Mrs. A. L. Nicholls, W. P. Corbett and Rev. R. J. Shires, be reappoint ed and that Rev, J. W. Bunner, this year chairman of the town poor relief committee be added to the community welfare comimittee.

McANEENY Who has been identified with the Hudson Motor Car Company since its inception in 1909, and has served since 1923 as firsv vice-president and treasurers, has ben elected president and general manager to succeed the late Roscoe B.

It is our opinion that the small number of cases of diptheria is due to the energetic campaign to have all the school children im- munized against diphtheria with the toxoid. During the first half of the year 132 children completed their immunization making the number who had completed their course over 300. During the latter half of the year, another group of 104 children have begun their im- munization. - If this work of im- munization against diphtheria is kept up, we feel that there is little likelihood of any serious epidemic of diphtheria occurring in this town. During the last few weeks of the year an epidemic of influenza oc- curred. Large numbers were af- fected but fortunately during the time when the greatest number were affected it was of a very mild type. It was sufficiently serious that it was thought advisable to close the schools early. No Cases of Typhoid Fever No cases of typhoid fever were reported in Bowmanville during the year. This is an indication of the excellence of the water and milk supplies; During the hottest part of August the milk was tested and a low bacterial count was reported in eighty per cent of the samples. Public Health Nursing It is our opinion that very con- siderable credit for the good healt of the community is due to the work of the School and Community Nurse, Miss Olga Tod. Much of her work has been of a preventive nature, the effects of which are difficult to measure. Her work in the Baby Clinic has been increasing and it is our recommendation to the new Board of Health that, ir possible, larger quarters be secur- ed for this work. At present, one of the rooms in the Town Hall is being used. This is small and there is no place for mothers to walt with their babies. In addition, the room is often needed for other pur- poses. Nuisances Several trips to various parts of the town have been made by the Sanitary Inspector and the Medical Officer of Health in regard to nuls- ances. In 'almost every case we have found the owners or tenants willing to co-operate in the abate ing of these nuisances. Problem of Garbage Disposal One of the problems that must come before the Council in the near future is some method of garbage disposal. The increasing number of apartments make this matter more pressing and the mere cart- ing of garbage away from the cen- tre of the town to some place near- er the edge of the Town Limits is not a solution of the problem. The League for Sensible Clothing decrees the "hatless blousehood" for men this summer. But there will still be old-fashioned males who will cling to the straw hat, Little Joe opines that work usually comes easy to people who work hard, Dining car service isn't much, Fin- ger bowls are provided for use after grape fruit, but there's nothing to clean your eyeglasses. WANTED Flight Students Classes commencing im- mediately. Anyone inter. ested in learning to fly may obtain full particulars by applying to W. J. MILLAR, "Northern Airways" residence 503 Sherbrooke St.,, Peterboro, or phone 1035W, Peterboro. f London, April 15, -- The new Bri- tish airships, 'the largest yct con- structed in the world, are expected to make their first flying trials in May or June, and one of the prob- lems associated with them is the re- cruitment of skilled crews, says the Times' aeronautical writer, Since the new mooring mast at Cardington was tested in 1926 and the R, 33 returned to Pulham to be brokesi up, there has been no oppor- tunity for any practical training in the air, At present there is a suffi- ciency of trained men from the old airships to ensure a full crew for one' of the new ships for two watches of eight hours, but so far there are not enough trained men to provide three watches, which would be essential for any long flights, The new ships will require a crew of just under 40 men, and as there will be no need for both ships to be in the air at the start opportunity will be given when the first flying trials take place to give air experience to the new men who are in process of training. Major G. F. Scott as the officer in charge of flying and training, will not definitely command any one ship, and it is considered probable that Squadron-Leader R. S. Booth, who was the senior officer aboard the R. 33 when she broke away from the Pulham mast in 1925 and Flight- Lieutenant H. C, Irwin will be the actual commanders of the 5,000,000 cubic feet capacity ships when they are both in commission. Major Scott, however, will, it is expected, take command of R. 100 on her first flight, for once she leaves the shed of the Airship Guarantee Company at Howden she must be brought down old Windiarucre Paths | Followed by Airships to the Royal Airship Works at Card- ington for her trials, he home trials of the two ships and the requisite trai of full watch crews must necessarily occupy some months, so that no date can yet be assigned to the first Empire cruise but the first Imperial flights of the Statc airship will be made along the route to the mooring mast at Ismailia in Egypt and then on to the similar mast at Karachi where there is also a shed for dry docking purposes. A very careful study is in progress of the meteorological con- ditions on the future Empire airship toutes, and it is a curious instance of how modern developments revive old methods that "the roaring for- ties" of the old wind jammer days will now play an important part in the calculations of the future air- ship commanders, The winds used by the old sailing captains will be- come the handmaids of the control- lers of the newer craft, for by flying to Australia via the Cape, these westerly winds will enable a high speed to be maintained from Cape Town to Perth, and on the return journey, the old South east Trades, ignored by the steamers, will help to blow the airship home by keeping to a more northerly course, But un- like the old clippers, which were en- tirely dependent upon the wind, the airship when neccessary can rise sup- erior to them by opening up all her engines to full power. Another fav- orable factor is that the coloniza- tion of the Empire was largely gov- erned by the sailing ship routes, and, therefore, prevailing winds are in most cases suitable for airships on their Empire, journeys.

BETTER BRAN FLAKES WOMEN'S VOICES ARE MUCH ALIKE OVER RADIO IS OPINION Chicago, Ill, April 15. -- The main difficulty in using women in speaking sketches over the air is that feminine voices sound so much alike, according to Lester Luther, dramatic coach of the WENR play- ers, Chicago. "The trouble at the present time is that when wou attempt to pres- ent any kind of a sketch in which there are three or four women, their voices all sound so much the same," sald Mr. Luther. "You can't tell whether its Mary or Jo- sephine who is talking, uless there is something in the text to differ- entiate., This means women must develop more voice personality or they will fall behind in the pro- gress of the development of radio programs. It appears there is a much wider difference in inflec- tion and tone quality of male voices." Miss Gertrude Secord Passes 96th Milestone St. Catharines, Ont., April 15.-- Cheerful and happy and asserting staunchly that she still enjoys life, Mrs. Gertrude Euretta Secord, of Niagara-on-the-Lake on April 6 celebrated her 96th birthday, sur- rounded by numerous friends and relatives, and the recipient of many letters and telegrams of congratu- lations. Mrs. Secord, who came of old United Empire Loyalist stock, is related to Laura Secord. Except for a slight lameness she is quite active and retains all her faculties. She sleeps well and enjoys her meals and takes an active interest in current events. When a oronto Globe reporter called at her house, expecting to find the aged lady confined to her bed, he was astonished to have her open the door to his knock. She wore no glasses and said she did not need them. She well remem- bered the reporter's visit to her a year ago, and implored him laugh- ingly "not to go and print a lot of stuff" about her. Mrs. Secord has spent all of her nearly a century of life within a radius of three or four miles. She was born April 6, 1833, a few years before Queen Victoria was crowned, in the familp residence near the iron bridge on the Lake Shore road, she said, and chatted brightly of events which occurred in the Niagara district when it was mostly forest land. She has lived under four British sovereigns and is confident she will pass the cen- tury mark, Pennsylvania has discovered 175 licensed drivers who are deaf. Peo- ple who honk in vain for gangway wouldn't be surprised to learn that all of them are truck drivers. Signing of Treaty Number Seven Is Now Done in Oils Edmonton, Alta., April 15 Painted. by an Edmonton artist, Miss Elsie Cruickshank, there has just been hung in the provincial li- brary an historic picture of more than ordinary interest to the peo- ple of Alberta. Done in ou, in autumn coloring it portrays the signing of Treaty Number Seven on September 22, 1877, at Cluny, whereby the dominion govern- ment granted to the ' Blackfeet tribes the Indian reserves in what is now Southern Alberta, "as long as grass grew and water ran," while the Indians on their part surrendered the rest of the couu- try and promised to keep the peace. While there is no vestige of the old camp left at Cluny, Miss Cruickshank at the request of the provincial government was willing to undertake the work, getting in- spiration by visiting the spot in September 1927, when a cairn er- ected by the historical sites and monuments board of Canada was unveiled on the fiftieth anniver- sary of the signing of the teraty, and various tribes of Indians in their native dress were present, An Indian who as a young man at- tended the signing of the treaty was interviewed bp Miss Cruick- shank, move in next week" 4% ES, we just moved here from Buffalo and the anxious to resume house-keeping at once in a home of our own."
