Blackburn, of the Canadian Fire Underwrit- ers' Association, Gave In- formative Address on System of Fixing Rates DIRECTORS ELECTED FOR THE NEXT YEAR Local "Rotarians Congratu- late Duncan Campbell on His Narrow Escape Fiom Being Involved in the "Hospital Tragedy at Cleveland Last Week Outlining the methods by which fire insurance rates were fixed, and the many factors which entered into the determining of the schedules ot rates for various lines 'of business, Walter J. Blackburn, special repre- sentative of the Canadian Fire Un- derwriters' Association; * Toronto, gave an informative address to the Oshawa Rotary Club at its luncheon today. Mr. Blackburn, owing to some misunderstanding, came to Oshawa ready to' speak to the club, although Rev. Dr. Fletcher, of Centre Street United Church, had been announced as the speaker, Dr. Fletcher, however, very graciously gave way to the visi- tor, and will address a later meeting. There was a long list of visitors from other points at the luncheon, including a party from the Bowman- ville Rotary Club, and included the business of he meeting was the election of the directors, and the pre- sentation of a report by the secretary of the specail street fair committee. Prof, John Duxbury, noted elecu- tionist who is giving recitals if - the city this week, was also present. He was introduced to the club by Rev. F. P. Maxwell, 'and gave some de- lightful anecdotes as his' contribution to the program. Vice-President George Hart, who occupied the chair, extended the con- ratulations of the Club to Duncan ampbell for his escape from the Cleveland Hospital tragedy last week, and Newton Johns reported. that, ac- cording to a letter received this mor- ning, Mr, Campbell was doing as well as could be expected, Directors Elected The voting by ballot for directors for the next twelve months resulted in the following being elected: Gor- don D. Conant, Cecil F. Cannon, George Hart, E. C. Hodgins, W, M. Gilbert, D. F. Johnston, D. M. Tod and C. E. McTavish. Mr, Blackburn, the speaker for the occasion, was introduced to the meet- ing by J. C. Young, and proved to be a capable and' entertaining speak- er, Prefacing his address by some in- teresting stories, he unfolded many of the mysteries, to the average man, of the fire insurance business. The Address Mr. Blackburn's address was: The average man knows little of the methods and operations of the insurance companies, but their acui- vities are of vital importance to him, as insurance is the basis of credit and the essential protection which allows business life to function, The modern. business world moves on credit and without the protection afforded by insurance, credit in any large measure would be impossible. Insurance ratings must be based on experience, and in: order that this experience may be as full and com- plete as possible Underwriters' Asso- ciations, comprising the bulk of tne companies doing business in Canada, were organized, Objects of Associations The Underwriters' Associations have two general objects, the first, be- ing to control the expense of carry- ing on the business by doing for the companies collectively the things they would otherwise have to do individu- ally, For instance, if twelve compan- ies were interested in a certain pro- perty, and no Underwriters' Associa- (Continued on Page 2) THREE ACCIDENTS SATURDAY * NIGHT Caturday night there were three accidents in the city of Oshawa, none of them. causing much ,dam- age, William Clemens. 149 Cel- ina street, while driving a Chev- rolet coupe on Harmony Hill, was hit by a Ford coupe driven by A.

SATURDAY NIGHT Charles McIndless Had Suf- fered Head Injury in. Kingston Accident Charles McIndless, of 75 Charles street, was returned to his home in this city today after having been found wandering on the streets of Toronto Saturday night, suffering from amnesia and forgetting even his name, Through the efforts of the staff of the Toronto General Hospital, whence he was removed, his identity was learned, and today his father, Walter McIndless of the same address in Oshawa, went to Toronto to bring him back to his home here. The man was found about 11 o'- clock Saturday night wandering on Queen street, by a Toronto con- stable. He was removed to the hos- pital, and the work of establishing his identity started. Through an address found in his club bag, Mrs. Sewell, 44 Betwood avenue, Albany, N.Y., was communicated with, and through her it was learned that his home was in Oshawa. McIndless had gone to Toronto to interview doctors of the workmen s compensation 'board. He had suf- fered an accident while working in Kingston on the boats during the winter, when he had been struck in the back of the head by a flying steel object and rendered unconsci- ous for some time, his mother told The Times this morning. He was in the Hotel Dieu in Kingston for several weeks and then had return- ed to his home in Oshawa, He still complained, however, of pains and an uncomfortable sensation in the back of his head and neck, and injury to the spine was feared. He had then undergone x-ray examina- tions at the Oshawa hospital, which revealed nothing, and he was go- ing to Toronto op Saturday to sew a nerve specialist and also to inter- view doctors of the workmen's com- pensation board. Her son had never experienced attacks of amnesia before, Mrs. Mc- Indless said, not even since suse taining the injury in Kingston. He had travelled considerably, and that would make it more difficult for him to recall names and scenes. Mcindless is 27 years of age, and has a wife and 9-months-old child in the city. ==, Too Late to Classify FOR SALE HEINTZMAN square piano in good condition. $40. Phone 2840F.

DOESN'T LIKE JAI, BREAKS DOOR AND SEVERAL DISHES Edward Taylor Faces Four Charges, His Two Com- panions Three Each Three men appearing in local police court this morning found to their sorrow that Oshawa's police force is a most efficient body at laying charges. James McLaugh- lin and Donald McDonald appeared with three charges against them, while their friend, Edward Taylor. who hails from Kingston, went one better and had four. These three men were taken in- to custody early Saturday evening by several members: of the local force while trespassing on the C.N.R. tracks in an intoxicated condition. The three men faced a first. charge of being intoxicated and were each charged $20 and costs or thirty days. Their seec- ond charge was that of having possession. of liquor contrary to the provisions of the Liquor Con- trol act. They were fined for this offence, $100 and costs or one month . each. The third offence was that of trespassing:on the rail- road and each was fined $1 an@ costs. - For the first two mec: 'on- ed the total charges were $134.70. or two months in jail. The third man. Edward Taylor, faced a fourth charge, that of be- ing in mischief and doing damage to, the local lockup. This man when placed in the lockup didn't like it and showed his disapproval by first kicking the panel out of one of the. doors. It was then necessary for the police to toew him in a cell. While in the cell he broke the dishes and the bas- ket that were brought into him at meal time. Fr this offence he was fined $5.00 and costs, making a total of $147.70 or two months in jail.

The Oshawa units marched from the local armories headed by the Regi- mental Band while the Whitby unit marched easterly from Whitby. The two sides met at an admirable location, where trees and brush lent splendid cover for the attacking for- ces, The peaceful woods resounded with the rattle of musketry as vol- ley after volley of blank cartridges were fired by the attackers and de- fenders. The regiment was fighting under conditions such as marked the war of 1812 when many of the en- gagements were waged in wooded country, The presence of an aero- plane flying high overhead indica- ted, however, the tremendous chan- ges in modern warfare, The plane, piloted by P. Irwin with T. Ronalds as observer provided an interesting feature to the battle and demonstrated the value of aircraft in war, The machine acted for both sidesand spied out patrols hiding in the cover of the bush, Whenever a patrol was sighted a weighted flag was dropped indicating its location to the enemy forces. The engage- ment thus covered a good deal of territory and fences, marshes and hills added to its hazards. Several officers of the regiment acted in the capacity of judges while spectators included hundreds of resi- dents of the district. More than 6,000 rounds of ammunition were used during the conflict, which lasted the greater part of the afternoon, Following the battle all units return- er to the Armories here where a splendid supper was served. Saturday's sham engagements is a reminder that the first time an arm- ed force ever marched forth from Oshawa and district was during the War of 1812. Residents along the lakeshore had received word that the village of York, now Toronto, was being attacked by a fleet of American ships. They heard the actual cannonading as the guns of the garrison replied to the bombard- ment from the invading fleet. A handful of settlers proposed to assist in the defence of the town and left Oshawa under the leadership of that doughty pioneer, the late A. M. Fare- well. Unfortunately the expedition proved a failure for the little band arrived at York just in time to be captured by the invaders who with their superior forces and guns had accomplished the surrender of the garrison and town.

REGIMENTAL BAND FINE PROGRAM Large Audience Hears Vari- ety Program at Regent Theatre Last Night By popular request the band of the Ontario Regiment under the direction of Bandmaster Thomas Dempsey W.O.I. gave another of their splen- did Sunday evening band concerts at the Regent Theatre Yast night, There was a large attendance and the pro- gram proved a fine attraction. The variety of selections caused consider- able favorable comment and it is hoped that by this program the band does not finish their Sunday concerts. The program included vocal duets by Mrs, E. F. Farrow and Mrs. G. Foster, who sank, "Hark to the Man- dolin," to which the encore was "I Will Lift up Mine Eyes" and "Bar- carolle," the encore being "Ivory Pa- laces." The band's program opened with the playing of "O Canada" after which the march, "Seraphine" by W. Clark, was played. The overture, "Wanderer," by King followed. "Il Bacio," concert valse by Arditi, proved an attractive number, as did the selection. "Chu Chin .Chow" by Norton, One of the dramatic numbers was the descriptive selection "Bull in a China Shop" "Maid on the Moun- tains," by Fraser-Swenson came next with the hymn, "Eternal Father Strong to Save" played by Bands- man Lambert. The Regimental March "John Peel" completed a well chosen program, TO STUDY IN GERMANY Archie Hare, son of F. E. Hare, city clerk, leaves tomorrow for Germany, where he will spend tno summer in the vicinity of Heidel- berg, continuing his study of the German language. Mr. Hare will take a short course in Heidelberg university, and will also visit other cities obtaining practical knowledge of the language. purchase of the POWER PLANT AT | CANPBELLFORD 5 GREAT ASSET $15,000 Voted by Commis- sion to Relieve Tax Bur- dens of Ratepayers PAYING PROPOSITION Marvellous Record Made by Municipally Owned Plant in Few Years In view of the coming vote on the hydro-electric and gas systems of Oshawa, the follow- ing article from the Campbelliord Herald is of much interest: "Again the power plant owned and operated by the municipality has proved its worth as a paying proposi- tion, At its last meeting the sum of $15,000 was voted to be placed in the town funds for the purpose of relieving the ratepayer of a heavy burden in taxes. "This is not only welcome but un- expected news, for it was generally thought that in view of the heavy grants of the last four years and the loss of revenue caused by the paper mill closing, that a smaller grant than $15,000 might be forthcoming this year. "The achievement of the W. & L. Commission during the past five or six years have been simply marvel- ous. According to the auditors' re- port of 1923 we find that there was a balance in the bank of $10,874.29. Since that time a considerable amount of money has been spent on capital account. A new power line was built from Crow Bay and prac- tically a new lighting system has been inaugurated throughout the whole town. In addition to paying all running expenses the Commission has in the five years--1925 to 1929-- turned over to the town council for the purpose of reducing the tax rate the handsome sum of $78,000. In ad- dition to this, thousands of dollars have been saved the town in bank in- terest, as all the power account sur- plus is always available for the use of the town. In 1928 the Water and Light Cefmmission loaned the town on notes the sum of $6500 on account of paving. Had this arrangement not been made that amount wouid have had to be carried over from 1928 as an overdraft, and the whole amount taken care of from the tax rate of 1929. The amount represents for the most part the .cost of drain- age along the 3-mile of paving done by the counties last year, and must be paid by the corporation as a whole. With the sum of $23,000 last year turned over to the town and the loan of $6500; together with an extra investment of $2000 this year, (Continued on Page 5) PROF. J. DUXBURY SPEAKS AT SIMGOE oI. UNITED CHURCH Well-known Elocutionist Gives Dramatic Interpreta- tion of The Story of Josep) " There was a remarkably large congregation at Simcoe street United Church Sunday morning when Professor John Duxbury, the eminent English elocutionist gave the "Story of Joseph' in place of the regular sermon. Professor Duxbury is known throughout the entire continent for hig interpreta- tions of passages of the Bible, ot which two are outstanding, the "King of Kings" which was pre- sented last night at St. Andrew's United Church and the 'Story of Joseph' given yesterday morning. It was rather unfortunate that owing to the limited time, Pro- fessor Duxbury was unable to com- plete the whole life of Joseph but the story as unfolded by him was acknowledged to be the most im- pressive address, in which direct narration was used, which has ben heard on this biblical passage for some time. To familiarize his congregation with the events leading up to the story of the life of Joseph, Pro- fessor Duxbury read certain pas- sages from the Bible relative to the circumstances which caused his brothers to conspire against the life of Joseph. The speaker's dramatic charac- terization of the different figures in the story was faultless, per- haps his best delineation being that of the aged Jacob, the father of Joseph, who when he heard the tale of the younger"s son's death as told by his brothers fell into a swoon. It takes a great deal of perseverance to master the volce inflections necessary to portray the characters of Joseph's sons, but so impressive wag the dramati- zation that the story seemed real. The story of Joseph as given by Professor Duxbury opens at the point where Joseph's brothers tell of their discontent at Joseph's -| popularity with their 'aged father, Jacob, Their hatred grows until they resolve to put him to death. Joseph appears on the scene and pleads for his life, but to no avail The plan to cast Joseph into a "dark and terrible" pit was for- saken when a band of Egyptians appear and agree to purchase Joseph as 8 slave.
