WHITBY LADIES SOFTBALL TEAM WON SATURDAY Defeated Canadian Ladies of Toronto By Score of 13 to 6 (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, May 20. -- The Whitby ladies' softball team demonstrated that they are going to be the team to beat in the Oshawa Ladies' Teague when they defeated the Canadian Ladies of Toronto 13-6 in the first game of the season witnessed before a large crowd at the town park Saturday afternoon. The locals showed that they had lost none of their skill from last year, and if anything are a smooth- er working aggregation. The Jueen City girls received a sur- prise. . They were out-batted and out-fielded, this alone accounting for the locals' lead of seven runs, The brand of softball seen at the park Saturday was not as fast as that which one might expect to see when the season reaches full and news will be next the post office.--~T THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, MAY 20, 1929 "Dilly Timer received at the Whitby Office, Dandas Street, 'elepbone 434, swing, None the less it was an in- teresting game and gave the fans a chance to judge the performance 'of the locals. The visitors were first to bat but failed to score a run in the open- ing innnings. Whitby iviezwed with a run, The visitors crossed the home plate once in the second innings, twice in the third, twice in the fifth and once aga:n in the sixth, After this they were never dangerous and found real diffi- culty in reaching first base. Mary Forrester occupied the box for the locals during the first six innings and gave the Toronto girls little chance to hit. Flora Scott was moundsman from then until the end of the game and allowed no runs. Two Big Innings Whitby won the game in the 6th and 7th innings, scoring three and five runs successfully. The visitors were last to bat but fail- ed to reduce the locals' lead. Joan Wilson made a home run in the 4th innings but was called out for failing to touch the bags in circuiting the diamond. - It was hard luck. but Manager Ernie Dev- erell jonsoled himself on the ground that it would be a good les- son for the team in future games.

A sad accident occurred during the process of the game when a portion of the bleachers collapsed under the weight of an enthusias- tic audience. The decrepit seats folded up like a house of cards while those who had been sitting upon them leaped out of harm's way with surprising agility, Art Stanlick took up the collec- tion during the game, passing around his famous black derby.

The marsh at the lo- cal harbor has been turned into a small lake and the water is almost as high as the level of the road. In the meantime the situation at the harbor is growing more urgent each day. The lake has torn great gaps in the breakwater and is threatening to wreak damage to the government docks and private property, Immed- jate action is necessary in order to save the harbor from ruin, The assurance of the minister of public works, Hon. Mr. Elliott, that engineers of his department will in- spect the harbor rouses hope that prompt measures will be taken. Even a layman can realize that the break- water must be repaired at once and an 'experienced engineer could take in the situation at a glance. No doubt an effort will be made to rebuild the breakwater for the government's pu licy, as announced by the minister of public works, is to look after the harbors on the great lakes particu- larly. in consideration of the antici- pated' St. Lawrence waterway devel- opment.

One of the most interesting J grams of the season was enjoyed by St. Thdrew's Y.P.S. on Friday even- ing, when the Literary committee was in charge of the meeting.

S. C. MOORE IS SPEAKER SUNDAY KING ST. CHURCH (Continued from Page 3) new building in 1913 was one of the finest, not only in the Bay of Quinte nited Church of Canada, the speaker said, In sixteen years the congregation had grown from 350 families and 450 members to 850 families with 1,150 members; the Sunday school enroll- ment had increased from 550 to over 1,000, and the congregation had cleared off the expenditure of nearly $50,000 in the erection of the church and permanent improvements to it. He paid special tribute to the Ladies' Aid of the church, which had helped remarkably well in making this achievement realized. The story of King Street Church had becn one of the members' faith in God, faith in themselves, faith in their fellow men and in the church and the Kingdom, he said. The Met- calfe street church congregation had started thinking about erecting a new church 18 years ago, just after they had paid off the mortgage on the old one, which had become overcrowded, and they had but $50 in the treasury. Through the co-operation of all the members and organizations in the church, the building had become a reality, and now in just 16 years from its dedication it was free of debt. Many Opportunities "The glory of a church depends not so much upon material beauty or financial strength, valuable as these are, but upon the measure in which the mind of the Master is found in those who attend its ser- vices," said Mr, Moore. There were never such opportunities for the church as. there were today; never was the church so well equipped to meet them; what was needed was a fresh baptism of the spirit of evan- gelism and zeal to bring in the world which. was hungering for Christianity as never before, he declared. For both services the church was packed to the doors with people sit- ting in the adjoining Sunday School hall. At the morning service, Rev. E. A. Tonkin, 80 years of age, of Bowmanville, a' superannuated minis- ter who was a member of the Met- calf street church 62 years ago, as- sisted in the service. Old Time Choir A feature of the day was the mu- sic of the old time choir in the even- ing. This choir included people who had been members of former choirs in the days of Mr. Moore's ministry and before that time. Mrs. E. J. Bale presided at the organ, and Mrs. Russel Bale was the soloist of the evening. A duet was sung by Mrs. W. A. Hare and Mrs. George Foster of Belleville, and a male quartette number was given by William Paul, F. Whatley, E. Luke and F. Her- ring. At the morning service, Mrs. QO. D. Friend sang a solo and Mrs. E. Farrow, Mrs, C. White, Miss Beu- lah Walker and Messrs. E. Luke and F. Herring sang a quintette. FIRE INSURANCE IS EXPLAINED (Continued from Page 3) tions existed, each company would have to send its individual inspector to inspect and rate the property, but under present conditions the Under- writers' Association send one man and the cost of his work is pro-rated a- mongst all the companies. This centralization of effort, which exists in all departments of the Un- derwriters' Association activities is one of the greatest factors in keep- ing down the cost of insurance to the public. Fixing Fair Rates The second object is the equaliza- tion and distribution of the cost of fire insurance by the fixing of fair and equitable rates, and for this pur. pose, schedule rating has been adopt- ed, and ratcs are based on the com- bined experience of all the compan- ies over a long period of years. Schedule rating is based on an an- alysis of the loss experience, In the first place losses are class- ified accordingly to the various types of business which produce them, so that the necessary premium may be secured from thes: individual class- es and: also that the hazardous class- es may contribute to the fire cost in the proportion that they produce losses occuring in classes of greater fire hazard. Hazards Charged For ' Schedule rating goes further than this, and in analyzing the losses of the various classes of business, the inherent hazards of such businesses which form an integral part of the business and which have in the past been responsible for losses are char ged for in the rates, In other words, schedule rating is based upon common sense principles. Anything likely to start a fire or as- sist the fire to spread becomes a charge, while anything tending to stop fire in its incipiency or curtail its destruction receives credit, Probability of Loss But the basis of rating is the proh- ability of loss, gauged from the ex- perience of the past and while the insurance companies have done ev- erything to make their methods of rating scientific and fair to the pub- lic, they cannot control the losses up- on which their findings are based. The public is responsible for these losses and in the final analysis makes insurance rates. . While the Underwriters' Associa- tions are necessarily the cost depart- ment of the insuranee business, they are constantly advising architects and property owners as to the best meth- ods of construction' and fire preven- tion; are carrying on thorough in- spections of city and town water sup- plies, fire protection, fire brigades, fire alarm 'and- all parts of their fire fighting system and making full re- ports to the cities and towns, toge- ther with the recommendations for improvement ; and all this work which leads to rate reduction is entirely in the interest of the public and given free of charge. The efficiency of schedule rating is | PICKERING Miss Jean Clark, Correspondent Telephone 800 MAPLE LEAVES WIN SECOND GANE 12:5 Defeat Kinsale In Pickering Township League Contest Pickering, May 20--The Pickering Maple Leaves won the second game of the Pickering Township League schedule, when they defeated the Kinsale nine, in the Memorial Park, on Friday evening with a scorc of 12-5. The game had a late start, but was evenly contested and pleasant throughout. . The executive has tried to guard against any disputes during the games, by making a rule by which any player who interferes with the umpire may be suspended from the game for onc or more innings, This ought to go far in suppressing the hot-heads and in making the ac- tivitics of the league amicable dur- ing the summer.

In 1913 the av- erage cost of $100.00 of insurance was $1.21, in 1927 it was 0c, and the cre- dit for this reduction must be placed almost entirely at the door of Un- derwriters' Associations for their work in promoting better construction and re prevention methods, The business of insurance is to provide protection in case of loss and to make certain that this protection is secure and for this reason it is ne- cessary that the companies carry large liquid assets for the protection of their policyholders, and if this was not done, such conflagrations as To- ronto, Ottawa and San Francisco would have been national disasters, but the Companies have kept faith with the public, in that they have not attempted 40 make large: profits out of the business, as thc govern- ment records show that the profit on the fire insurance business of Can- ada {rom 1869 to 1927 has been less than § per cent, CHARLES FARRELL IN "FAZIL" Now Showing at the Regent ANNUAL MEETING EASTERN SECTION WLS.

Hotel late on Saturday afternoon, Wages and conditions are not in- volved, and have been satisfactory to the union since the strike took .| place. The strike arose through a con- tract signed by the union last year with the Amagamated Builders' Council containing a clause which stated that members of the union would work only for members of the Council. The Council did not embrace the larger plumbing and heating contractors of Toronto, The strike puts an end to in- dustrial trouble in the building in- dustry in Toronto for a period of two to three years if the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners can secure an agreement from general contractors. The brotherhood has been negotiating for several months, but has found that another organization of sev- eral hundred workmen prevents contractors from negotiating en agreement.
