THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, MAY 17, 1929 PAGE FIVE FORMER MEMBERS COBOURG RATTERY HOLD REUNION (Continued from Page 3) ed when, during 1914, the battery was . despatched to Vancouver because at that" time it was feared that Japan might side in with the Central Pow- |' ers and attack the Pacific Coast. He then referred 40 the withdrawal of the unit from Vancouver and its em- barkment to France where it saw ac- tive service. " The famous General Currie libel suit which was heard in the Cobourg assizes last spring was referred 10 briefly by Col. Neil F. McNaughton. Col. McNaughton expressed gratifi- cation in the otitcome of the suitand that General Currie was able to up- hold his good name and the name of the Canadian Expeditionary Force, An accurate and interesting de- scription of the Memorial Chamber and Tower in connection with the Parliament Buildings at Ottawa was gven by Mr. Maybe, M.P. for North- umberland. The speaker indicated that this was cvidence that Canada held in high esteem the cfforts and . . Ll sacrifices of 'her soldiers. Will Hold Big Reunion Major J. McKinnon who was at- tached with the Battery overseas spoke feelingly of the class of men who composed the unit. The major has always been popular with the men and his announcement that arrange- ments were underway to hold a big re-union of the battery was received with delight, Col. W. H. Floyd, magistrate of Cobourg and veteran military mau, recalled vividly the organization of Canadian troops during the Great War, The colonel spoke with auth- ority for as it is generally known he took a leading part in the organiza- tion of the 139th regiment. Other Speakers ae Other speakers included Col. Lowe and Major Stevenson who referred in interesting fashion to many mat- ters relative to the Battery, In addition to a delicious supper entertainment for the evening inclu- ded a sing-song, while Sergt. Major Friend contributed a splendid solo. Welcome to Cobourg was given on behalf of Mayor McArthur and the Council by Councillor Wilmot. In addition to a delicious supper, entertainment for the evening inclu- ded a sing-song, while Serg.-Major Friend contributed a splendid solo. A number of cleverly executed tricks of magic were given by Bert Johnston and Cyril Johnston, of Bert Johnst- on's Show Company, Oshawa. Mr. Johnston was a. member of the Bat- tery during the Great War. Mr. Tho- mas Wilson,. advertising manager of The Oshawa Daily Times, another Oshawa veteran of the Battery was also present, | : AUTOMOBILE TO BE FEATURE PRIZE ~ FOR STREET FAIR (Continued from Page 3) bitious effort than last year, ana the grand prize will he an auto- bile, which will be given to wue holder of the first prize lucky tick- et.

PRE-SCHOOL YEARS MOST DANGEROUS (Continued from Page 3) vaccination would at least protect the child through the school years until it had built up sufficient bodily resistance of its own that the disease would not affect it so seriously even if it was contracted, he said, Oshawa Health Measures Dr. McKay also gave an interest- ing resume of the development of Oshawa's community consciousness in regard to health protective mea- sures. The first united effort in this regard, he said, was about 20 years ago when the community, then in- cluding about 4,600 people, became alarmed at the typhoid fever epi- demics arising from the polluted wells, and installed a water system. This reduced the typhoid rate con- siderably, until about ten years later when the water supply from Lake Ontario became polluted and the rate again soared. Chlorination and then filtration were used, and again it dropped almost to insignificance. Other outbreaks occurred after that, which were traced to the milk supply, and now through pasteuriza- tion this was also protected, not only against typhoid fever but also against the spread of this means of all contagious diseases. J. Norval Willson, of the Ontario Motor Sales, was the "booster" for the day, outlining some of the high lights in the automobile sales busi- ness. E. R. Birchard won the day's prize of ten gallons of gasoline, Dr. B. J. Hazelwood formally introduced Mr. Birchard as a member of the club. Dr, McKay was introduced by Kiwanian Tom Muffitt, and the was extended by the president, A. J. Parkhill. GRAF ZEPPELIN IN (Continued from page 1) German reading, "Please have Garri- son at Valence designate best situ- ated terrain for landing our dirigible." The message was picked up in the suburbs of the town, The dirigible at that time was at an altitude of about 3,600 feet fight- ing against a high wind. The radio station here tried in vain to get into communication with Dr, Eckener. Wind Dragging Ship (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Valence, France, May 17.--The Ha- va agency says that the wind was dragging the dirigible Graf Zeppelin to the eastward as she struggled to rcach the Garrison field here. Moving Towards Mountains Valence, France, May 17.--After flying to the outskirts of the city the zeppelin was brought to a standstill by the violence of the wind which was sweeping it eastward. At 4.15 p.m, (10.15 a.m, ES.T.) she was over the little community of Crest, about 15 miles southeast of here, Her situation, after heading to- ward the Valley of the Drome, ap- are no airfields in the directon in which she was moving and the coun- try is savage and mountainous. Her motors appeared for a mom: ent to have stopped entirely. Then she got under way again towards Saillans. Saillans is a town of 1,500 inhabi- tants affording no facilities for land- ing other than open fields. There is no military field anywhere near about, and futher east are only the rising peaks of the Alps and their foothills. French Bulletin Paris, May 17--The French air ministry late today issued the follow- ing bulletin: "At 5.15 p.m, (11.15 am, ES.T.) the Graf Zeppelin was in the valley of the Drome, heading eastward. It was in 'a sheltered zone near Sail- lans. Its speed appeared to be about 30 kilometers (about 16 miles an hour)" Instructed to Help Paris, May 17.--As soon as the French Air Ministry learned of the intention of Dr. Eckener to try an emergency landing at Valence or its vicinity, Air Minister Laurent Eynac and Minister of the Interior Andre Tardieu gave instructions that every aid possible be extended to the Ger- man commander. _ Aviation regiments at Bronairfield, Lyons, were ordered to be on the alert. Detachments were sent to ev- ery field in the vicinity where the dirigible might possible attempt to come down. Between Nimes and Manduel the zeppelin fought for more than an hour against the wind, remaining sta- tionary for a long time at an altitude of 2400 feet. The wreless at Manduel offered aid for landing at the nearby Courbessac field, but the airship did not reply to messages of signals. At times the Zeppelin hovered mo- tionless, its motors turning at full speed, but because of their decreased power, unable to send it forward in- tq the teeth of the wind, When there was progress, it was between gusts. Making Progress (By Frank E. Nicholson) Aboard the Graf Zeppelin, by radio and cable to the Columbia Broadcasting Company, May 17.-- "We are battling our way back to Freidrichshafen with three of our five motors now dead, with broken crankshafts. "Varied emotions among the passengers. Some are anxious to get back, and upon landing those are to cancel pass- age.

Three Motors Dead Friedrichshafen, Germany, May 17.] --The Graf Zeppelin, with three of its five motors dead, fought its way across the mouth of the Rhone at 8 am, (2 am. E.S.T.) today and began a hard battle with near gale head- winds to reach its home port, before dark tonight, A violent mistral, or cold north- west winds, and loss of all but two of the ship's five motors, cut the speed of the dirigible to 30 kilometres (about 21 miles) an hour. Messages from Alexander Von Kryna, aboard the zeppelin, said the passengers were calm. The dirigible appeared over Nines, west of aMrseilles, at 9.20 am., (3.20 am, E.S.T.), struggling hard against the wind, Twenty minutes later it appeared almost immovable over Bellegarde. At 9.50 a.m., it appeared again to-be progressing, obliqueing to the northeast at a height of about 2,500 feet. Loss of the third motor was unex- plained. There was some fear in some quar- ters for the ship and its passengers but the Zeppelin Company expressed confidence that the air liner would ride the storm safely. It was em- phatically denied that an emergency landing in France was contemplated. The giant dirigible was visible for nearly an hour and a half at Nimes before it disappeared in the direction of Montelimar, Unable to breast the full force of the wind it was forced to tackle, and was making less than 20 miles an hour headway. CLEVELAND WiLL REBUILD CLINI (Continued from page 1) them Fire Battalion Chief Michael J. Graham. Three Died Today One more victim of the poison gas of the clinic disaster died early today. Ben Jones, 29, full back on the 1925 Canton, Ohio, Bull Dog football team and prominent in professional football circles, area at his home, in Grove City, Pa. Jones was one of the first per- sons removed from the clinic after the blast. He told friends yester- day morning he drove his car to Grove City, a 150 mile trip, Late last night Jones collapsed and he died within a few hours with his young wife and two year old daughter at his bedside. Physicians declared. however, that those who survive the next 24 hours probably will not suffer per- manent effects of their exposure to the deadly gas, but grave concern was felt for those who were re- ported injured last night. and u search for 75 "missing" patients, was started. These persons, officials announc- ed, had appointments for examina- tions -at the clinic, Their names were given out in order that they mav report themselves uninjured or undergo examination. Some of these niight have left the building without notifying the clinic offi- cials or police, it was feared. If their lungs were filled with the gasses, there still was a possibility today that they might succumb.
