He brought in.a.3% pound bass, which won the South Bend anti-backlash reel, valued at $7.50, The contest was conducted hy George Robertshaw, proprictor of Robertshaw's book store. TWO'FIRE CALLS. > The fire department answered two calls last night. The first was at 621 pm. at the CP.R. bridge on Simcoe street where @ considerable space of grass had ht fire. The fire was beat out with brooms. The second was to the Ritson Road dump. This fire, although causing no dam- age, took a considerable amount of water to extinguish. There was 750 feet of hose laid. ' THE BIGGEST BASS Irvin Wotton is the Isaak Walton of the Oshawa Anglers' Association, as he has landed the largest small mouth black bass caught so far this season by members of the association. The fish weighed 334 pounds and was 18 inches in length with a girth of 14 inches. It was one of the most beautifully formed fish seen here in a long time, according to N. F, Ton- kin, secretary of the association. The fish was caught in Lake Scugog, and Mr. Wotton has entered it in the bass class for the largest fish caught this "season by members of the local association.

Big Need as Educational Institution On Tuesday of next week, the Ca- nadian Chautauqua will make its first appearance in Oshawa. Contrary to a general belief which is held by 'misinformed people in this country, the Canadian Chautauqua which 1s coming herc, is not an American in- stitution, No American citizen nor other foreigner, has any financial in- terest in this movement in West- ern Canada and Ontario. The edu- cators who manage and control the Canadian Chautauqua are all Cana- dian citizens. In fact, the Canadian Chautauqua is the only strictly Chau- tauqua Institution presenting Chau- tauqua programs in Canada. Ofttimes the question is asked-- "How is the Chautauqua financed since no donations or contributions are accepted?" The contracts sign- ed by committees are used as secur- ity for loans. The loans this year were made through the Canadian Bank of Commerce. Many thousands of dollars are spent before one dol- lar is taken in. Without the thirty thousand (approximately), men and women, (business men, farmers, jud- ges, members of parliament and other professional men and women), as con- tract signers, this work could not be carried on. They form a financial back ground to the work. The Chautauqua movement is a non-partisan, non-sectarian system of education, entertainment and rec- reation for, adults with special fea- tures for children, The first Chautauqua was held at Chautauqua Lake, New York. Hence the name. A group of citizens in a community arranged with the Chau- tauqua manager for a week's pro- gram of lectures, plays and entertain- ment, By furnishing the same pro- gram fo hundreds of communities the Chautauqua can and does, maintain a high standard of excellence at a minimuri cost. The speakers on the Chautauqua platform are = powerful molders of public, opinion, reaching as they do, some two million peopic in Canada, annually. Some authori- ties have ranked Chautauqua as Can- ada's fourth great Institution = the others being the Home, the Church and the School.

LOGAL COMMITTEE 10 MEET HERS. Will Discuss Rate Reduc- 'tions 'and Operation of Plats nfor Rest of Year A special committee of the Osh- awa city council, comprising May- or T. B. Mitchell and Aldermen P. A. Macdonald, George Hart, R. D. Preston and George Morris, will meet the 'Hydro Electric Power Commission of Ontario at 2 o'clock next Wednesday afternoon to dis- cuss final details in the taking over by the city of the local gas and electric systems. . The ratepayers of Oshawa voted on June 15 by a large majority to purchase these plants, and final de- tails are now being ironed out in preparation fer the formal taking over of the systems. The questions of having the Hydro Commission operate the plant for the city for the balance of 1929, until a Public Utilities Commission is elected in the city in January, and that of a reduction in rates here will also be discussed. SPLENDID BAND CONCERT GIVEN Large Audience Heard Fine Program at Memorial Park A splendid program was given last evening by the Ontario Regi- ment Band at the Memorial Park before a large and enthusiastic audence. Under the conductorship of Bandmaster T. Dempsey a var- ied number of pieces, both classi- cal and popular, were given that delighted the' listeners, To men- tion a few of the pieces that re- ceived most appeal are "The Hun- garian Comedy" "The Danube Waltz, "Washington Greys."

"We NEW OFFICIAL HAS SPLENDID RECORD OF EXPERIENCE C. H. R. FULLER COMING HERE AT END OF JULY Was For Six Years City Manager of the City of Chatham C. H. R. Fuller, who was re- cently appointed as business ad- ministrator for the Oshawa Board of Education, comes to the city of Oshawa with a splendid record of administrative success behind hi. Mr. Fuller expects to come to Osh- awa from his present home at Riv- erside, Border Cities, about the end of July, to take up his new au- ties, so that he will be thoroughiy into the tasks of his office before the school term opens early in Sep- tember. Mr. Fuller, who resigned the po- sition of office manager of the Chrysler Corporation of Canada vo accept the Oshawa position, has had a distinguished business ca- reer, although still a young man. He was born in Toronto 34 years ago, and js a, graduate of Upper Canada College, and of the Univer- sity of Toronto, with a degree in applied science and engineering. He served for three years with the Canadian Expeditionary Force in France, and since his return from the war has held some important positions. For two vears. Mr. Fuller was with the asphalt division of the Im- perial Oil, Limited, in Toronto, and then became the city manager of the city of Chatham, under the city manager plan of civic government in operation in that city. About a year ago, he resigned from that post to become office manager of the Chrysler Corporation of Cun- ada, which position he has held un- til the present time. Mr. Fuller, by reason of his ex- perience, is considered an autho ity on municipal and public affairs concerning municipalities, and he has written many articles and giv- en addresses before various muni- cipal organiaztions on various phases of city government. With this record of service and experience, Mr. Fuller will be a valuable addition to the citizenship of Oshawa, and will be given a cor- dial welcome when he arrives here at the end of this month to take over his new duties. NO DISCRIMINATION AGAINST TOURISTS HERE, POLICE SAY ONLY ONE US.A. CITI ZEN IN LOCAL COURT THIS YEAR Many Letters of Commenda- tion Received by Chief of Police From Tourists "There is absolutely no discrim- ination in Oshawa against the United States tourists, We have only had one tourist up in the loc- al court to date in 1922, and that was not a charge of speeding, but of reckless driving," declared Chief of Police Owen D. Friend, discussing the complaints recently made by the Detroit Automobile Club that Canadian police forces and magistrates were discriminat- ing against the visitors from across the border. : The chief not only submittea court records to The Times repre- sentative to substantiate his state- ment as to the number of citi- zens of the United States up on charges under the Highway Traffic Act during the year, but showed that not one had been charged iun- der city bylaws within the last seven months or more. He also submitted a large sheaf of letters of commendation received from United States tourists compliment- ing the Oshawa police department on the courtesy of its men to surau- gers within this city's gates. Magistrate A. F. Hind also de- clared that, in his term of several years as magistrate for Oshawa and East Whitby township, not one case of discrimination agains, tourists had come to his notice. "When new police officers are added to the Oshawa force and ap- pear before the police commission, of which T am a member, they are given explicit instructions that they must be courteous at all times, to everybody. We allow no straying from that rule in' the force," the Magistrate declared. He pointed out that his jurisdiction as mag- istrate extended to East Whitby so. that he could say with auhori- ty that there was no discrimination against tourists by either city or provincial police from Thornton's Corners, midway between Cshawa and Whithy, to the borders of Dur. ham county, some distance east' of this city. Special attention. to poultry im- provement is being given in the Uk- rainian settlements in the' province of Saskatchewan, where Theo. Bod- nar, B.S.A., a graduate of Manitoba agricultural college, has been appoint- e | hausted all the means--" may still win this case. I haven't Ly d for. the purpose by. the Saskatch- 418-2844 Asa fesult of the very low prices received last year there has been a reduction in the potato acreage in Ontario County tHis season, but the cut is mot a particularly large one, according to Agricultural Represent- ative W. M. Croskery, of Ontario county. The average price for the 1928 crop was not more than forty- five cents per bag, compared with around eighty cents for the best Prince Edward Island stock. Last fall in the Mount Albert-Zephyr, Good- wood-Uxbridge potato sections of p Ontario and York counties Mr, Cros- kery estimates that there was an in- crease of 500 acres on the 6,000 regu- lar area, the addition being planted by speculators or people who go into this crop one year and out the next. After last year's somewhat disas- trous experience, for there was mo- thing in the business at 45 cents, the speculagors have kept out pretty largely, hence the decline in acreage this spring. ' Why Prices Lower Than P.E.I Asked to explain the very large difference between' the PEI. price and that for Ontario potatoes sold on the same market--this difference spelling a profit or loss as the case may be--Mr., Croskery stressed two points--standardization of varieties, and shipment of only the highest grade, "If our growers had received the same price for their potatoes as was paid for the Prince' Edward Is- land stock they would have been ab- le to make some money," he said. In the Maritimes growers have made a specialty of growing potatoes, and, although their combined acreage 1s not equal to that of Ontario they have developed a very great reputa- tion, largely because they grow only one or two standard varieties instea of the usual mixture you find in Ontario, and also because they sell only the top grades, keeping the others. at home or feeding them. And they seem to make money, too, be- cause they grow far more potatoes to the acre than we do, thus cutting down materially on the cost of pro- duction." Significant Figures Mr. Croskery quoted some rather significant figures to emphasize his points. Last year the total acreage in Prince Edward Island was 52,- 000, of which over 60 per cent. were inspected for certification, and the av- erage yield per acre was 239 bushels. In Ontario the acreage ran around 181,000, but only a triflc over one per cent. was inspected for certifi Potato Acreage in Ontario County Smaller This Year According to W.M., Croskery or less than 60 per cent, of the P. El yield, The figures indicate that while the bulk of tHe potatoes grown in Prince Edward Island arc pure in variety, only an insignificant fraction of those grown here are inspected for certification, Standardize Varieties With. one or two standard varie- ties and the use of the very best seed the yield would soon take care of itself, states Mr. Croskery. Mixed varieties do not yield as well as the best pure strains and much of the resent stock sown in this Province 1s diseased, which further cuts down production. Hand and hand with purc varieties should go greater attention to commercial fertilizer when such a thing is nceded. Could Double Yield That the yicld could easily be in- creased in thc Ontario-York district is indicated by the fact that among the various potato clubs organized by the representatives of the Ontar- io Department of Agriculture there are 24 members in the 300-Bushel Club, all of whom expect to grow 300 bushels of potatoes to the acre on their farms this year, compared with less than half this much as the average for the Province. Moreover, many of the boys in the Senior and Junior Kiwanis Clubs last year grew over 300 bushels to the acre. Cost, of course, will fall with increascd production, as Mr. Croskery points out in a little booklet issued to po- {ato growers last spring. Those boys whose plots grew 310 bushels per acre produced their crop at a cost of 24 1-3 cents; those with 240 bush- els, 30 cents, and those with a yield of 136 at a cost of 54 cents per bush- el. "We have a good potato section here," concluded Mr, Croskery. "Cli- mate and soil conditions arc ideal and we are also convenient to large markets, but we need fewer varic- ties, better seed and a greater yield per acre. Cutting down the acreage will not help the situation. What we need is more potatoes from the ac- reage we grow. This will cut the cost of production below the price at which we have to sell them. Last fall we shipped out of this section, 618 carloads, which at 400 bags to the car amounts to 247,200. By standard- ization of varicties and the use of better sced we could have easily se- cured a premium of 20 cents per bag on these, which would have meant $50,000 extra revenue for this district cation and the yield was 132 bushels, at practically no extra cost."

COUNCILS MEET HYDRO MEN HERE LAST NIGHT DISCUSS OPERATION OF RURAL LINES IN THIS DISTRICT Has Full Control of Oper- ation of Rural Lines The township councils of Whit. by, East Whitby and Darlington met in the Oshawa hydro office last night, to discuss the operation of the rural lines in these townships, which are supplied with power ! from the Oshawa sub station, since | the city of Oshawa has taken over its local distribution plant. Representatives of the Hydro Electric Power Commission of On- tario were present, together with C. Barnes, manager of the local electric and gas systems. It was pointed out to the members of the township councils that the rural lines in this district, in common with. all other districts in Ontario, were entirely under the control of the Hydro Electric. Power Commis- sion, and that the commission would decide, by agreement with the Public Utilities Commission of Oshawa, to be elected next Janu- ary, whether the rural lines eman- ating from Oshawa would be oper- ated as part of the general hydro system or would be operated as part of the Oshawa system. The township councils are given no jur- isdiction over the rural power lines, under the Power Commission Act of Ontario, it was stated.

Editor of Times, Dear Sir,--I am continually be- ing asked my opinion in regard to the proposed Industrial Site bar- gain between 'the City and Mr. Conant. - May I say, very mildly, that T consider it a splendid pro- posal-- (for Mr, Conant). He justly divides the bargain into three sections restrictions, rese.- vations, and site. For a speci- fied sum the city gets the site, and he retains the restrictons and res- ervations For the moment, I think the City should first obtain the "reserva- tions," and call again some other matter of no coneern, 'but. the city fathers should 'try and get some- thing visible for our money.

Brown Motor Shows Have Been Held This Year in Over Forty Canadian Cities, According to General Manager of General Mo- tors of Canada, Limited FIRM HAS 10,000 EMPLOYEES AT PEAK Several Hundred Thousand Canadians Are Now De- pendent on Automobile Industry--More Canadian Materials Going Into Cars More than 40 Canadian cities and towns have held motor shows so far during 1929, thus focussing the at- tention of their inhabitants on the automobile, This point was advan- ced by H. A. Brown, vice-president and general manager of General Mo- tors of Canada, in a newspaper inter- view yesterday as an indication: of the tremendous interest manifested by the public in new models and new makes of cars, which were viewed for the first time at the various shows. It might be thought that standard- ization, which has made possible the values obtainable in cars built.on this continent, would tend to make 'the motor show lack in variety.. But Mr, Brown pointed out that last year the Canadian buyer had his choice of 765 different styles, and in 1919 General Motors alone offers more than a 100 different models. Spreading Interest Mr. Brown pointed out that one of the most important developments' of the current automotive year from the point of view of the average Canadian was the decentralization of manufacture by location of plants in several mew. cities, so that an ever- growing number of citizens were de- riving benefit therefrom. "Cities and towns which a few years ago had no connection with the motor <ar in- dustry'are today vitally ifterésted, through the location of manufactlir- ing or assembly plants within their limits," he said. Cities Benefit . : "When General Motors opened a plant in Regina last December the prairies celebrated the coming not only of the first automobile plant west of Winnipeg but of theig largest industry of any kind. Earlier in the year General Motors had opened a new truck plant at Walkerville. In January of 1929 this plant went intp full production on Chevrolet motors, hitherto made in the United States. "The latest city to benefit by the automobile industry is St. Catharines, where General Motors acquired in March of business of McKinnon Industries, Limited, makers of motor car parts and accessories. Enldrgement now under way will materially increase the quantity and variety of the pro- ducts of this plant" Mr. Brown characterized 'as ome of the most important recent advances the manner in which "made-in-Can- ada" cars have become to a steadily greater extent produced in the Dome- inion by Canadian labor out of Can- adian parts and raw materials. "To« day," he said, "the Chevrolet, for example, is more than 90 per cent. Canadian, and = during 'the present year this proportion will be still fur- ther increased." 10,000 employees ?
