Telephones--Office, 587; REPRESENTATIVE--RICHARD COWAN First Sod of Goodyear's New Addition Turned at Ceremony yor and Members of the Yesterday Afternoon at Plant Town Council, Along With Superin- Many Citizens, Present at the Ceremony -- tendent A. M. Hardy Officially Starts Operations on the Building of New Unit of Factory (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, July 24.--With an the ceremony that an oceasion of this kind calls for, the first sod of the new Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co.'s latest extension was turned yesterday evening at six o'clock. At this time all employees of the plant and many of the town folks, includ- ing the town council were present to witness this unique event. Tne chairman for the occasion was Mr. Nanson of the Personnel Dept. of the factory, who after calling tuuse present to order, introduced Mayur M. Elliott, as the first speaker. Mayor Speaks The mayor expressed great pleas- ure at being called upon to speak at such an affair as this, that spoke for the future development of Bow- manville and for the faith that the company had in the local plant. Mayor Elliott spoke highly of the co-operation which enabled this ua- dition to be built. Reeve Thickson The next speaker was Reeve Thickson, who is a member of the staff of the plant. Reeve Thickson told of the time when his father had a vote on the first rubber fac- tory issue in the town. At that time there was a lot of opposittun to a factory of this kind but as his father said, 'It might not do him good, but he would vote for it in the hopes that it would do some others good, which it certainly has. The town should be proud," said Reeve Thickson, "that a branch of the largest manufacturers of rub- ber goods in"the world was located here." Alderman Edger The popular alderman, Arthur Edger, was the next to speak. In introducing Mr. Edger, Mr. Nanson stated that Mr. Edger was in charge of the Order Dept., and if it were not for the capable way in which Mr. Edger handled these or- ders, the factory would be short a lot of business. Alderman Edger stated that since 1910 the factory has steadily employed more men and would continue to do so as long as the staff and employees co-op- erated with the view of making TRAUB RINGS --the ideal of all that is fine and i I revi solute fidelity io bighest quality and a fine- ness of finish and design heretofore unapproached.

Carruthers, president ot tue Bowmanville Chamber of Com- merce, in a short address congrat- ulated the Goodyear Company on its 'development policy, and said that any" help the Chamber could give would gladly be given. First Sod Turned The last speaker was A. M. Hardy, superintendent of the local plant, who cut the first sod. Mr. Hardy in a very interesting ad- dress told of how 12 years ago tne Tire Department had moved to Tuosr- onto and many people had predict- ed that the plant that was .ett would soon close down. Contrary to the expectations of these pessi- mists, the plant has had three new additions since that time, and this makes the fourth. He told of giv- ing a ride last Saturday to four employees, who, with himself, nad 150 years in the rubber business between them. He stated that in the past the company had been criticized somewhat for its busi- ness policies, but it could be plain- ly seen that these policies must have been good to have made nec- essary the amount of building that has 'been done. Mr, Hardy thanked "the town council for gracing the proceedings and then proceeded to the task of digging the .first sod. This was done with a mew spade that was painted in the Goodyear colors of amber and blue. After this was done he handed the spade over to the charge of Fred Jackman, the foreman, who will be in charge of the erection of the mew unit. Af- ter singing "O Canada," and "God Save the King," the meeting broke up, those who had finished their day's work . wending their way homeward while the night shift went back to their evening's work, as the plant is now working the full twenty-four hours. daily. --_-- COWAN BLOCK IS MUCH INPROVED Repairs and Alterations Are Now Nearing' Com- pletion (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, July 24.--ior the past few weeks, the Cowan block at the corner of Temperance and King has been going under some minor repairs. The Dominion stores have been enlarging their store, taking up floors, tearing down walls and laying new floors again. Most of this work has been com- pleted.

Chief 'of Police Picked Up| Youngsters, One of Whom Was Colored . - (By Stat Reporter) ' Bowmanville, July 24.--Several weeks ago three youngsters escap- ed from the Industrial School at Mimico. One of these boys was caught several days ago, but the other two remained at Iarge. 1¢ seemed strange that these two who were at large could get around without being caught as one was & little colored boy. It would have been alright farther south where colored "people are more plentiful, but in Canada where they are row- er, it should not have been difficult to pick up the boy, so the Inaus- trial School officials sent telegrams and posters to all the police de- partments throughout the province and many elsewhere. One came in- to the local police office at the time. The local chief, on coming out of a doorway on King street the other day, noticed two boys, one being colored. He immediately thought of the telegram and asked the boys where they were from. "Oshawa," was the reply, "that's where we are heading." said that they were from a farm near Oshawa. They would not ad- mit that they were from the in- dustrial school, but protested much to the contrary. The chief, however, desired to make sure and took the boys up tv the station = while he telephoned to Mimico. The authorities there believed that they were the miss- ing boys. As dinner time came around the chief asked them if they. would like some dinner. The boys must have thought things over while in the station, for their re- ply was, "Yes, chief, and say, chief, we are the boys, alright." Officials of the school came down yesterday and took the boys back, much against their desire. UMPIRE FORCED 0 CALL BALL GAME Was Forced Into Service, But Decisions Did Not Satisfy (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, July 24.--Orono ball team of the Big Four league journeyed to Newcastle to play a game that was on the schedule. The game started out alright, but with a strange' umpire, the regular one failing to show up. The first inn- ings passed successfully, but in the second innings the trouble started. A close play was followed by a close decision from the umpire, and arguments started. Another close play and another close de- cision. The boys started the argu- ment in earnest this time, and it got too heated for the umpire, su he called the game, which was the best thing he could have done. The game will most likely be played a. a future date and with an umpire that satisfies both teams. GOOD PATRONAGE FOR CHAUTAUQUA Performances So Far Have Been of a High Order » (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, July 24.--Monday evening the Canadian Chautauqua opened their doors to: Bowmanville. A capacity tent greeted the first performance, the popular Broad- way comedy, "The Family Up- stairs."

The office of works first issued instructions to sports- men not to shoot the bird, and now has given the following advice: "The pelican is very timid. It will be quite helpless if seized by the bill, with one arm, while the other arm is placed around the body, thus closing its wings."

T COMPASS STOPPED BY STRANGE FORCE Commissioner Scores Pilot's Supernatural Explanation of Grounding Montreal, July 24.--Something supernatural which held the com- pass and caused a sudden squall tu rise was put forward by the pilot, Hermenegilde Lachanca, of the Do- minion Coal Company's steaue? Lord Strathcona, as the reason for the steamer's stranding near Beau- jeu Bank, St. Lawrence, on June 25, it was revealed in the report of the Wreck Commissioner's in- quiry. : Captain L. A. Demers, Dominion Brock Commissioner, fined the pi- Mot $200, to be paid in two instal- ments. He exonerated the master, W. L. Clibborn, though he asked him to reflect on his absence trom the bridge; and he exonerated Ivor Maurice Jones, the third officer. 'With respect to the pilot," suys Captain Demers, "I cannot and will not accept his strange version that Providence willed what he termea the absolute non-working of the compass, nor the passing of the squall which was momentary; nor do I accept the statement that the wreck of the Montmagny could have affected his compass, 1é would have been detected by tme position of the buoy on the star- board side and that on the port quarter. The vessel, of 7,335 tons gross, with a crew of 43, was going at 15 knots. The compasses had nos been adjusted for five years, the inquiry showed, but after the grounding they were examined and found to be but one degree ais ferent from the standard compass. "Shortly after noon," reports Captain Demers, "the third officer took his watch and the master left the bridge for lunch a little later. The pilot, who piloted the ship on six previous occasions, was seem- ingly on the qui vive and had tak- en his stand on the starboard side of the bridge when the third offi- cer on the opposite side, he wea- ther was somewhat obscured by rain, but buoys could be clearly seen 13 miles away. Failed To Realize "The master, while at table, felt that something had happened, rushed to the bridge, and realized his ship was stopped, bringing the fact to the pilot's notice, but the latter failed to realize it at the mo- ment. It was ebb tide, which is es- timated at that place at 23 knots velocity, The engines were stop- ped and run full speed astern un- availingly. Some water ballast was pumped; but it was only with the rise of the tide that the ship float- ed off some four hours later, "Soundings failed to detect any leakage, and 'no damage has yet been discovered, though the ship has not heen drydocked. The ship proceeded on her voyage without further mishap. "The pilot's version is to the ef- fect that his compass stopped mov- ing, which he attributed to the presence of an old wreck--the Montmagny--her position being int dicated by a wreck buoy. He never experienced any changes in the compass of that ship nor in others in previous voyages and years of piloting there. that to his knowledge no one had ever complained of the existence of the wreck affecting courses. "During this ance of his compass there was a EE He also admitted |! so-called disturb- everything momentarily. This as- sertion of temporary obscurity is denied 'by the third officer. Local attraction is the sole excuse offer- ed by the pilot as an explanation of the grounding. . "Unexpected "1 doubt whether if the master had been on the bridge he woud have detected timely a. deviation from the usual course. That the ship steered well and was well steered all agree. Nevertheless 1t is my opinion that the exacting exi- gencies of responsibility required his presence on the bridge. He add- ed that the third officer was tem- porarily in the wheelhouse when the "unexpected" occurred. "The only reason that can be found for this grounding is that previous buoys had been passed at a greater distance than usual ana that the one on the starboard bow was hugged too closely. I cannot term the grounding as an error of judgment, but one of temporary in- attention. Though Pilot Hermene- gilde Lachance has been before the court on a few occasions I will not agree entirely with counsel repre- senting the owners that stranding was brought about by sheer care- lessness; but rather by a tempor- ary forgetfulness due to some causes or reasons which I for the time being ignore. If I am to be guided by his attitude on the stand, the manner in which he gave his evidence, making due allowance for nervousness, I can but arrive at the conclusion that Lachance is a slow thinker." Captain Demers gave as his ver- sion of the cause, 'close sailing due, to momentary inattention which was undoubtedly accentuat- ed by the current setting somewhat to the southward."
