THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 12, 1929 PAGE THREE Oshawa's Progress Overshadows That of Other Ontario Cities Children's Aid Society Work Outlined to Kiwanis Club By Superintendant Alger Activities of Society Are Carried on Under Chil- dren's Protection Act, Adoption Act and Un- married Parents' Act 27 CHILDREN IN - SHELTER HERE NOW This Is Largest Number Dur- ing Mr. Alger's Term of Office -- Entirely Too Large, He Declares, Some Should Be Adopted An outine of the work of the Children's Aid Society in this city and the county of Ontario was given at the meeting of the Osha- wa Kiwanis Club yesterday after- noon by O. M. Alger, local super- intendent for the society. Featuring thé program yester- day were solos by Walter Evans, London, Ont. Other guests of "the club were President Arthur Allan of the Lindsay Club, Nr. Porter of Toronto, and Dr. Arch- er Brown of this city. The beau- tiful silver cup which was award- ed to the Oshawa club for the pest attendance at the gathering in Toronto recently to honor the In- ternational president of Kiwanis, was on display yesterday. The cup, which stands about 24 inches high, was suitably engraved and, is the absolute property of the club. Mr. Alger was introduced by Ki- wanian Ewart Everson. Mr. Alg- er explained the work of the soci- ety under each of the three acts, the Children's Protection Act, tue Adoption Act and the Unmarried Parents' Act. Child Adoptions "One of the most pleasant things that I can do is to place some child without a home of its own to a home of some couple where it will become the life and joy of their home," said Mr. Al- ger. During his term of office, he said, 25 children that had become wards of the society had been leg- ally adopted, and in no case had one word of dissatisfaction come back to the society. The hardest thing that he found it his duty to do, was to have to carry out an order to remove he children from any home and make them wards of the society. "The aim of the society is to keep' the home together wherever possible," he said. "Unless there seems to be absolutely no fair chance for the child to develop, we endeavor to keep the home intact." The chief cause of trouble in a family that caused the society to step in and take the children was family desertion by either the husband or wife. The next cause was poverty, although poverty in itself was nui treated as a sufficient reason unless there was danger of moral corrup- tion of the children, he said. At the present time, there were 27 children in the shelter, the larg- est number during his term of of- fice, he said. This was too large a number, he delcared. 'No child should be .in the shelter except temporarily, for they cannot get the opportunities for development, much as we endeavor to do for them, as they could in some real home," -he. said. Of the 27 children, 'however there were 7 that were subnormal and that could not be placed in any home. Mr. Alger stressed the need of a provincial institution to gather | up the large number of these chil- dren in the province, class them in- to groups, and give them the train- ing that their mind would absorb and that they were suited for. The unmarried parents act was a recent addition to the work of the society. The chief aim was to pre vent the father from shirking nis responsibility and to enforce at least partial provision of the child's upkeep. All money collected went to a provincial fund for the pur- pose, the mother getting none of it. "Nobody is allowed to escape, for we can take legal measures to collect this money the same as any legal debt," Mr. Alger declared. Interest in the Children's Aid work was steadily growing, Mr. Al- ger said, remarking that there was no more . deserving work, for it built up the young life of the com- pany and probably prevented many of .the children placed under its care from later becoming a charge upon the country in the penal in- stitutions.

He pleaded guilty to the charge. Williamson admitted engag- ing a taxi in the city and running up a bill of $9 and also a bill at a local hotel for $3 without the necessary funds to cover the amounts of the bills, He will pay these however, he said.

Bert Johnston, the noted local magician, has returned from Lima, Ohio, where he has been attending the annual convention of the Inter- national Brotherhood of Magicians. The convention, he states, was an out- standing success, and many new ideas in magic were developed. For the second time in succession, a Canadian boy won the special prize of $500 for the best amateur exhibition of magic, the winner being Tommy Bowyer of Winnipeg. Two of the outstanding magicians of Great Britian, said Mz. Johnston, came across the Atlantic to attend the convention, WILL PLAGE FENCE AT MARY SCHOOL Board of Education To Call Tenders For Work on Many Schools The board of education Monday night decided to call for tenders for repairs to various schools,; for the supply of 700 tons of coal, and for the placing of a fence around Mary street school grounds. This fence has been advocated by residents of the district and by parents of children attending this school for some time, as it was pointed out that, with Mary streev a through street, autos went through at a high rate of speed, and there was mo protection for the children to keep them on tue school grounds. Several serious accidents have been narrowly averted. The fence will be placed as soon as possible. Tenders will be called on the following work: Repairs to the roof of King street school and the Collegiate. The King street school repairs, about 69 squares ten year bonded roof, 'will cost aproximately $9.50 per square, $655.50; and the col- legiate repairs, 180 squares, at $2.75 per square, $495. Replacing the present ciosel system throughout and installing new closets in the rear portion of Simcoe south school at a cost of about $500; and replacing flush- ometers at Cedardale school at an approximate cost of $200. Repainting the -exterior of old portion of Ritson school, $300; complete grading of grounds of Ritson school and construction of sidewalk to Clark street, $400. Fence around three sides (north, west and south) of Mary street school grounds, with curb well on Colborne street, and the grading of the Colborne street end of the grounds $2,000. Redecorating interior of King street school, $700; installing el- ectric bell systems in Cedardale school, $50, and in North Simcoe school. Purchasing of 700 tons of coal for delivery during July and Aug- ust. The board decided to try us- ing anthracite and pocohonto coal in the Simcoe south and Centre schools. FIRST SESSION OF JUVENILE.

LETTER RECEIVED THREE VEARS AFTER IT WAS DESPATCHED Follow-up System of Post Office Brings Belated Delivery Three years ago a letter was post- ed from some 'distant point in Can- ada to someone in Oshawa but through some mishap the letter never reached its destination--until recent- y. The public in general is unaware of the intricate system which oper- ates for the distribution of mail throughout the Dominion. Many letters are posted to addresses which never existed or from. which the person to whom the letter was ad- dressed has move 'away. The fault is sometimes with the Post Office but usually with the sender. Many valuable hours are lost as a result of carcless or inaccurate addressing of mail. Not 'only is the post office staff put to great extra trouble to find the one to whom the letter is sent, but the delay in reaching this per- son often causes much trouble both for the sender, and the ultimate re- cipient. The Dead Letter Office 1s swamped with mail which has collected from various post offices throughout the province--there on account of wrong or unintelligible addresses or in some cases no addresses whatever, A little care and what might be termed courtesy would prevent such delay and trouble. However, when a letter does hap- pen to go astray or the one to whom the letter is addressed has moved away, the Post Office staff has often through ingenuity located that per- son. - Such happened in the case of the above letter. For three years the letter was sent here and there, but because it was mailed from a hotel in the west, the sender was never found. After some received back time the letter was in Oshawa. Careful inquiry on the part of local post office officials revealed that the person the letter was meant for had moved a block away from his former place of abode. The letter was de- livered to him--three ycars after it was sent. GIVEN ONE MONTH BREAGH OF LCA. . When he pleaded guilty in police court this morning to a charge of having liquor without a permit, legally purchased, Jack Yaromolik, of 266 Bloor street east was sentenced by Magistrate Hind to one month in jail, It was his second offence. Yaromolik was also found guilty of obtaining a liquor permit through false pretences and was fined $50 and costs by His Wor- ship. Yaromolik's home was searched by police officers some time ago and a quantity of liquor was found. Following conviction on a previous charge L. C. A. breach, Yaromolik's permit was cancelled, police stated, and he purchased another at the same time knowing it wag illegal to do so.

Aero Yellow Cab 381 | The Women's Corner For Anything of Interest to the Homemaker and the Housekeeper A simple rule to follow when plan- ning ' the food supply for' balanced meals on the open road is to allow each person during each day a pint of milk (children should have a quart), one citrus fruit such as an orange or grapefruit, two vegetables (one should be a green vegetable), two slices of whole wheat bread, a serving of whole grain cercal and one egg. Though every meal planned to be cooked out of doors should be simple, those. prepared hurriedly when mile- age or sightseeing is more important will necessarily be more simple. Usually the answer to speedy cooking is to open cans. Modern methods of canning preserve all the food values and there is a delicious variety from which to choose. Tomato soup, veget- able soup, mulligatawny or mock turtle soup for the first course. Peas, beans, corn and spinach for a veget- able, and those delicious foods which may be used as meat substitutes-- baked beans, chop suey, macaroni or spaghetti in tart tomato or cheese sauce. Canned meats may also be considered in the provision of sup- plies, but they are rather -expensive. Chicken, duck and turkey come in half-pound flat cans, and dried beef and sausages come in half-pound glass jars. A can of salmon or tuna fish will come in handy if you have room for it, In buying lettuce remember the solid heads keep better. Select a head with heavy outside leaves. Save these leaves, and if you have used only part of the lettuce for a meal wrap them about the remaining head. This will help to keep it moist and crisp even if the damp cloth in which it is drapped dries out. Package butter is a little more ex- pensive than tub butter, but it is of more standard quality and much more easily served and packed. It will keep fairly solid if the package is wrapped in a damp cloth and kept with the lettuce. ' Flour, sugar, mayonnaise and sand- wich spreads keep best in screw-top glass jars, A coffee which is best for boiling is a medium body coffee, coarsely and freshly ground, It the trip is a short one make coffee bags--that is put into a square of cheesecloth just the amount of ground coffee which you will need for one pot of coffee, draw the corners of the cloth together and tie them, leaving plenty of room in the bag for the coffee to swell. June brings many' requests for special menus for the month's varied festivities, Here are one domestic science cx- pert's answers: Her menu for a shower is: Start with an orange and cherry cocktail, celery, olives, rose radishes, pickles, lobster a la Newburgh in heart-shaped patty shells, shoestring potatoes, fresh asparagus on toast, pan rolls, which you have split, but- tered and heated to crispness in the oven, strawberry mousse in heart shape, coffee and mints in green, white and pink, and salted nuts. For an early morning wedding breakfast: Washed strawberries (unhulled). spring chicken or ham, peas, celery, rolled in powdered sugar; broiled corn muffins and honey, orange ice, coffee. A buffet style breakfast: Bouillon, molded halibut or creamed crab flakes garnished with toast points, asparagus tips in tomato aspic, celery, almond-stuffed olives, popovers, sctrawberry ice, coffee and chocolate. A sit-down breakfast: Tomato * bouillon, grilled sweet- breads and mushrooms, broiled to- matoes, romaine and cream cheese salad, strawberry shortcake or rhu- barb shebet. MEXICAN STUDENTS WIN FIRST ROUND Are in Complete Control of Main University Building (By Canadian: Press Leased Wire) not paying the fine a sentence of one month will be carried out. Mexico City, June 12.--Striking students of the Mexican National University were in complete control today of the main building of the University, with the determination, they said, of remaining there until their demands were met. Police did not molest them. ; A red flag hoisted by the strikers floated over the building while an- other was draped from a second storey balcony over the main en- trance. A hundred students main- tained a constant guard at entrances, refusing to let anyone except strik- ers enter. The students demand the resigna- tion of Rector Antonio Castro Leal, one of the firmest in opposing their a, ORDER OF HOUSE INSTITUTED HER, 130 MEMBERS JOIN Splendid Attendance at In- augural Meeting in K. of P. Hall WELL-RECEIVED John W. McDonald Chosen Dictator With Archie S. McLean Second in Command One hundred and 30 new mem- bers living in Oshawa and vicinity were initiated into the Loyal Or- der of Moose at the organization meeting in the K. of P. Hall last night. 'There are splendid pros- prects for a much increased mem- bership, it was stated by Norman Heyd, of Toronto, a past Supreme dictator and head of the Order in Canada, in an address to the gath- ering during the evening. He de- clared that the enrollment last night was very signicant of the faith placed in the Order by people in and around Oshawa. The head offices of the .oyal Or- der of Moose are situated ,n Moose- heart, Illinois, which +s a city grown up from the memberships in the Order. Here the executives of the Order in many countries centre their work, for it is here that many of the motherless and fatherless children are cared for by the Or- der, given an education where one has been unprovided previousty and a start on the game of life. The Loyal Order of Moose boasts a membership of 763,000, of which 65,000 were enrolled in Canada, and 12,000 in Ontario. Forty-sev- en lodges are existant in Ontarlo at the present time, it was said. The Order was instituted 40 years ago and reorganized in 1906 by J. Davis, secretary of Labor in the cabinet of President Coolidge. The lodge is non-sectarian and is open to all white races. There have been numerous lodges instituted in Canada, United States, Great Bri- tain, and South Africa. The Order was instituted in Osh- awa last night under the super- vision of Joseph G. Jackson, install- ing officer, and president of the Fellowship Association, assisted by Patrick Donovan, vice-president of the Fellawship Association, and Ernest Fletcher, vice-president of the Fellowship Association, along with the Ritualistic Team of the Toronto Lodge, Number 1600, di- rected by Sam Hogg. The officers elected are: Dictator, John Wm. McDonald; vice dictator, Archie Stanley Mc- Lean; past dictator, H. W. Gerow; Prelate, John Bevan; secretary, Roy McDonough; treasurer, Simon A. Gates; trustees, George Elmer Burnham, H. G. Barry, D. Stevens; Sergt. at arms, Rallph Crozier; Inner guard, James Dalzell; Outer guard, Thomas Fulton. ATTENDANGE 00D OSHAWA SCHOOLS May Sets Record For Year, Every School Above 30 Per Cent. Despite the call of balmy days and summer breezes, the attend- ance at the Oshawa public schools during May was one of the best submitted during the entire year, being an average for all schools of 93 per cent. For the first term this year, no school was below the 90 per cent mark. Albert street school had an aver- age attendance for the month of 96 per cent. North Simcoe and Ritson schools had a 95 per cent attendance; Centre school 94 per cent; King and South = Simcoe schools 92 per cent and Mary and Cedardale 91 per cent. Less con- tagious diseases and better wea- ther was given as the reason for the better attendance, by Super- vising Principal C. F. Cannon, who also explained that contagion was the cause of the comparatively low attendance of Cedardale and Mary street schools. Hailed To Court For Driving Car While Intoxicated Whitby, June 12.--Jack Owen, 491, Yonge street, Toronto, was arrested and lodged in Police Court, Whitby, yesterday after- noon, charged with driving a car when under the influence of liquor, as the result of an accident, which occurred on the Kingston High- way, two miles west of here. Owen, who was travelling west, was al- leged to have cut in on a motor truck and trailer, owned by the Breedon Transport Co., Toronto, causing it to upset in the ditch. The truck and trailer were badly damaged but C. Butler, the driver, escaped injury. Jack Owen appeared before Magistrate Willis last night and was released on bail of $2500, He will be tried on Monday afternoon next. last night stand against the innovation of mon- thly for term examinations several weeks ago.

MATTEROF CONCERN SETTLED BY BOARD Miller and' Libby Paid Addi- tional $516 On Contract A. A matter that has caused con- cern to the Board of Education since the report of the auditors was received this spring, was set- tled Monday night, when the Board granted Miller and Libby an addi- tional $516.50 for the plumbing in Simcoe south school addition built a year ago. A report of the finance commit- tee. was adopted, as follows: that the word 'plumbing' in the motion passed by trustees Norris and An- nis at the meeting of Monday, Oc- tober 10, 1927, be deleted and that the firm of Miller and Libby be paid the sum of $4,500 for heat- ing and ventilating and the sum of $516.50 for the plumbing ot Simcoe south school. The auditors pointed out in their report that $5,016.50 had been paid to Miller and Libby, whereas the motion stated that their contract was for "plumbing, heating and ventilating" at a price of $4,500. It transpired upon in- vestigation that two separate tend- ers, one for heating and ventilat- ing at $4,600, and one for plumb- ing of $516.50 had been submitted by Miller and Libby, and the mo-}|. tion passed Monday legalized the 'to the firm, payment of. the additional $516.50 | mnie. Li Passes Kingston, Peter- borough, Sault Ste. Marie and St. Catharines and Is Placed Among the Lead-' ing Cities of the Province IN SECOND PLACE IN EASTERN ONTARIO Only Ottawa Ahead of It in Cities East of Toronto-- Score Biggest Advance of Any City in Ontario Last . Year A review of the assessment figures of the Ontario cities show that, in the last ycar Oshawa climbed to ninth place in the roll of Ontario citics. The previous year it was thirteenth, and the increase in population that this city experienced last ycar allowed it to climb over Kingston, Peterborough, Sault Ste, Marie and St, Catharines. It is now only a few hundred behind Fort William, and only about $4,000 behind Kitchener and Branftord. The advance of Oshawa along the road to the top was the most remark- able of that of any city in Ontario. While several cities juggled positions with cach other, none of them nosed ahead of as many as two cities. The relative position remained pretty much the same in every case except that of Oshawa, which showed again in spectacular fashion that it is the fastest growing city in Ontario. THE TWENTY-SEVEN CITIES A list of the twenty-seven cities in Ontario, together with the date 'of their incorporation and the population figure as shown by the 1928 assess- ment, is: Date of Latest Incorporation Population 1. Toronto: svi leesiess 83 585,628 2. Hamilton 3. Ottawa .... 4. Windsor 5. London . Brantford . 7. Kitchener . , Fort William . Oshawa 0. St. Catharines ... . Saulte Ste. Marie 2. Peterborough . Kingston .. . Guelph 5. Port Arthur , Stratford Niagara F Sarnia .... 9. St. Thomas , Chatham .... 21, North Bay . 22, East Windsor . Belleville . Galt . Owen Sound . Woodstock .. 27. Welland ..... 1917 Many Shuffles In a comparison of this list with that of a year ago, it will be seen that the first: eight cities retained their same relative position. But then Oshawa came along, and sent St. Catharines from'ninth down to tenth, and Saute Ste. Marie down a peg in the bargain. Peterbough and Kings- ton also did a shuffle, Peterborough nosing ahcad of Kingston, so that Peterborough still remains in 12th place and Kingston drops from 11th to 13th. Guelph remains in 14th place, and Niagara Falls, formerly 15th, drops below Port Arthur and Strat- ford. Sarnia and St. Thomas ex- changed places, as did Belleville and Galt. There are only five cities in Ontario east of Toronto, and, in order of their population, they are Ottawa, Oshawa, Peterborough, Kingston and 'Belle- ville. Oshawa's Growth Remarkable Oshawa's growth and position among the cities of this province is the more remarkable because it is the third youngest Ontario city. Only North Bay, incorporated in 1925, and East Windsor, incorporated this year, entered the city class after Oshawa did. In only five years of cityhood, Oshawa steps up into the same gen- eral population class as Brantford, in- corporated 52 years; Kitchener, in- corporated 15 years; Fort William, 21 years a city; and St. Catharines, in- corporated 53 years. The five cities that hold undisputed first rank in Ontario, Toronto, Hamil- ton, Ottawa, Windsor and London, have all been citics for at least 37 years, Toronto, Hamilton and Ottawa are of course recognized as more or less metropolitan cities; Windsor and London as semi-metropolitan;-and the next group, comprising Brantford, Kitchener, Fort William, Oshawa and St. Catharines, as the other leading cities of the province.
