\ | i THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, AUGUST 2, 1929 PAGE THREE kh ard of Heal Presses for Building of Sewage Disposal Plant 3 Claring Headlights Blamed For Fat Highway Accident By Coroner s Inquest Jury Recommendations Regard: ing Headlights, Footpaths Along Highways and - Walking on Highway in Verdict at Inquest into Death of James Frew NO BLAME PLACED ON DRIVER OF CAR Evidence Showed That Bright Glare of Approach- ing Headlights Prevented Mrs. Allan Phillips, Driv- er of Car, From Seeing Men Walking on Road The fact that glaring headlights had largely contributed to the acci- dent was mentioned by a jury un- der Coroner Dr. F. J. Rundle yes- terday which inquired into the death of James Frew, young Scotch immigrant, who was struck and killed by a car driven by Mrs. Al- lan Phillips, of Oshawa, while he was walking on the side of the highway between this city and Whitby on the night of Tuesday, July 23. The jury brought in a rider that lights be tested with re- gard to strength and adjustment. It also urged that every effort be made to urge pedestrians to walk facing trafic and recommended that a shoulder at least six feet wide should be provided on each side of every provincial highway for the accommodation of foot pas- sengers. Mrs. Phillips, driver of the car, was exonerated of blame for the accident. According to the evidence given the court Frew, in company with two other men, was walking on the highway with the intention of reaching Montreal where he hoped to receive work. The party was travelling single file and the un- fortunate immigrant brought up the rear. Mrs. Phillips, driver of the car, claimed that she did not see Frew until the machine was al- most on top of him. The young man sustained terrible injuries and died almost immediately. Robert Frew identified the body as that of his son James. Injured Man's Story Robert Hutchison, who gave his former place of residence as Brant- ford, stated that he left Toronto Tuesday afternoon in company with Frew and a man named Ken- nedy. They succeeded in getting a lift as far as Whitby and then started walking towards Oshawa. When they came to the eastern lim- (Continued on page 2) THIEVES ENTERED DRUG STORE ON SIMCOE ST. SOUTH Stole Goods Valued at $25 From Jury and Lovell Store Thieves last night forced an en- trance into Jury & Lovell's branch drug store, Simcoe street south, and stole a quantity of cigarettes and toilet goods, valued at approxi- mately $25. Admission to the store was gained by forcing the lock on the front door. The rob- bery was not discovered until this morning and it has been reported to the police. It is believed that thieves also attempted to gain entrance to the confectionery store owned by A. Bakogeorge on King street west, last night. Marks were found on the door this morning which indi- rated that someone had been trying to "jimmy" the lock. SINNER COMPANY 'BUYS MORE LAND FOR FACTORY SITE Additional Acre Required to Make Room for Buildings Owing to the plans which have been accepted by The Skinner Co., for their plant on Simcoe Street S., having called for more space for buildings than was originally esti- mated, the company has purchased another acre of land, immediately south of its present block, from G. D. Conant. The original purchase was six and a half acres, and the additional acre now gives the com- pany an area of seven and a. half acres on which to work. The acre which has been sold was part of the area of close to 15 acres which the city council has agreed to buy for an industrial area, thus reducing the size of that block to 13.38 acres of land, which is the amount covered in the new agreement drawn up -betweem the \ sity and Mr. Conant. FATHER CHARGED WITH ASSAULTING HIS YOUNG SON Magistrate Condemns Him For Inflicting Severe Punishment Finding him guilty on a charge of assaulting his 11-year-old foster son, Magistrate Hind this morning remanded Arthur George Turner, of 34 Valencia Road, in custody for sentence until Aug. 7. The charge was the result of a severe, strapping which Turner 1s alleged to have administered to tne boy. The whipping was given on the morning of July 24, and the same evening he was taken to the Children's Aid Shelter where ex- amination by the matron showed that the lad"s left arm had peen severely bruised. Mrs. Turner, wife of the accused, and mother of the boy, testified that Turner had often severely punished the lad and on more than one occasion kicked him. Through his counsel, Louis Hym- men, the defendant entered a plea of not guilty, and sought to show that he had not punished the boy to excess. The strap, manufactur- ed of light leather, was shown to the court as an exhibit. "I believe that this man has act- ed the part of the bully," statea Crown Attorney McGibbon in urg- ing the magistrate to convict the accused. Magistrate Hind ventured the opinion that the lad was not bad and should never have received such severe punishment. He strong- ly condemned Turner for his ac- tion. Witnesses included O. M. Alger, superintendent of the Chil- dren's Aid Society, P. C. Foreman, and others. safoefoafosfecfoofucfooforfofororocfoofecfecfocioriocfodororfedes, What Others Say : MUSIC IN THE PARKS. To the Editor: Sir: Would you kindly allow space in your valuable paper, to answer Music Lover's article which appeared in. your paper on July 30. I think it is a deliberate attempt to discredit the service of the Salvation Army Band. In the first place, Salvation Army bands were not formed to be a means of entertainment, though a certain amount of it is done. In reply to the suggestion that Sal- vation Army bandsmen are working men, as are others, true, but the dif- ference is that the Salvation Army bandsmen receive no remuneration whatsover, whereas the others receive so much per concert. The collec- tions taken up at the lake, go to- ward the upkeep of the Salvation Ar- my work in this city, not to the band. In view of the fact, that neither the bandmaster, nor the members of any Salvation Army band receive any remuneration, it is all the more re- markable that they have men in their ranks who were capable of winning most of the gold medals in the dif- ferent instrumental competitions in which they participated. Salvation Army bandsmen play at least thre= hours every week end, the same mu- sic as they would play at any concert given by them at any time during the week. We would like to have the Music Lover's opinion as to how long the other bands would last, if they had to buy their own uniforms, help pay for their music, and receive no re- muneration whatsoever. The grant which the city so kindly gives, goes to help buy new instruments thereby helping to improve the band, not into the pockets of the players, EO. C. HOOD, GI Army Band THE INDUSTRIAL SITES BYLAW Editor of Times, Dear Sir: I observe with due satisfaction from a notice in your paper that a new bylaw will be introduced at next meeting of the City Council eliminating all objectionable fea- tures of the recent proposal of pur- chase of the Conant property, ex- cept one--only one--vis: the res- ervation of 40 feet. This building line may be desirable in the public interest, but it cannot be incorpor- ated in the deed of conveyance, but {can only be secured by a passing of a special bylaw for this particu- lar purpose as may be nbserved on Page 2845, R.S.0. 197/, Chap. 233 S. 398, S.S.T.--A gentleman's agreement may be entered into to pass said bylaw, but it cannot form part of the deed of purchase of the land- - Otherwise who could be compelled to pay frontage tax?-- This situation, if overlooked, would afford sufficient meat for litiga- tion to guarantee all the lawyers of the city, that they never need apply for an Old Pension.

SUMMER ROUNDUP BY LOGAL NURSES 5 PROCEEDING Medical Examinations Held on Children to Enter School in Fall WHOOPING COUGH This Disease Has Entrenched Itself as Year Round Ail- ment, Report States Medical examination of the child- ren who will be entering the Oshawa public schools in September is being proceeded with intensively by the public health nursing department, ac- cording to the monthly report of Miss B. E. Harris, senior public hcalth nurse, presented to the Board of Health fast night, This is the first year that the work of the local public health nurs- ing department has extended its ac- tivities to take in examinations children about to enter school, al- though work has been done to some extent along this line through the health clinics conducted by the de- partment. A new clinic has been es- tablished this: summer in the Separate school to serve the northern section of the city, and the nurses are con- centrating upon pre-school work in this clinic. Whooping cough continued to make its appearance, and apparently has established itself as a year-round di- sease, This was largely due to the fact that children who have contract- ed the disease were allowed to mix freely with other children by careless parents, and in this way a spread of the disease was almost unavoidable, the report stated. Miss Harris' report was: Communicable diseases reported for July were as follows: whooping cough 40, chicken pox 25, measles 33, erysipelas 1, total 69. From above will be noticed there are few types of communica- ble disease present. Whooping cough is still prevalent and no doubt 'there are many unreported cases of this disease which is one of the most difficult to control ow- ing to the nature of the treatment, fresh air, and sunshine entitles many to find other locations than their own homes. During the summer season the Child Welfare Clinics are busy cen- tres, especially so at present, there are many pre-school children be- ing immunized against contagious diseases, Diphtheria and Scarlet Fever. Not a few of these child- ren are those' starting school in September. From the above list of communi- cable diseases it is noteworthy the absence of the serious diseases, (Continued on page 2) A MIND MADE UP "Who are you going to vote for?" "I really don't know yet." "Better decide." "Yea, I kind of think I should give my vote to Smith if Jones don't run. But if Jones decides to run it'll be hard to decide whether he's a better man than Brown. Brown has done this town a lot of good and I'd like to see him gét the office if Smith can't, because of Jones deciding to run. However, [ don't think that any of them stand a chance of being elected so I doubt if I'll 'vote at all" of J Satisfied Charging that conditions as tne county "jail at Whitby were unfit for prisoners, Frank Schafer, who was yesterday convicted by Magis- trate Hind on a charge of selling liquor contrary to the provisions ot the Liquor Control Aet made an unusual request to court, namely, that his term be enlarged from two to three months so that he mignt be allowed to go to the Reforma- tory at Guelph. The request, which was made through Schafer's counsel, D. A. J. Swanson, was refused by His wor- ship. Magistrate Hind advised the counsel for the defense that if his client had any complaint to make concerning conditions at the jail he should submit the same in writing to the inspector of Public Charjties at Toronto. It could then be dealt with in the usual manner. No Ground For Complaint That there was any ground for complaint from prisoners was de- nied when The Times interviewed jail officials today. '""We have thirty-one prisoners at Charge Made That Whitby Jail Is Not i in Fit Condition] For The Housing of Prisoners Frank Schafer, Sentenced to Jail Term For Selling Liquor, Pleads to be Sent to Ontario Reformatory Instead of to Jail--Jail Officials and Sheriff Deny That There Is Any Ground for Complaints--Claim Prisoners Are Well the present time," stated Governor H. Lucas, 'twenty-nine of whom are males while two are females, We conduct the prison in strict ac- cordance with the provincial regu- lations." Not Crowded Asked whether the jail was crowded Governor Lucas replied that this number could be accom- modated qiwte easily. He could see no cause for complaint as the ma- jority of those who were placed in confinement came out of prison mn better physical condition than they went in. The county jail at Whitby was built in 1854 when the town was first set aside as a county seat. It includes a large main building with the governor's residence, turnkeys' quarters, separate quarters for male and female prisoners and sep- arate wash rooms. The prisoners have individual cells but are allow- ed out of their cells from seven o'clock in the morning until seven o'clock at night. There is also a large courtyard entirely surround- (Continued on page 2) Latest Financial News Stock Abitibi Bell Tel. Braz. -.. Br. A. Oil Alcohol Cockshutt Can, Malt. Cty. Dry.

CITY AND DISTRICT NEWS GARBAGE COLLECTIONS In conversation with The Times, a prominent business men of the city yesterday spoke very strongly regarding the collection of garbage in this city. "For a city of 25,000 people," he said, "it is an outrage that there should be only one col- lection of garbage a week in these hot summer days. It is not enough, and while the hot weather remains, the garbage should be cleared away much more often than that." | MAY REGULATE GAS STOVES, An ordinance making the instal- lation of vents on gas stoves com- pulsory in the city, may be issued by the local Board of Health. ing endeavored to introduce a by- law to this effect, but was inform- ed by City Solicitor J. F. Grierson, that the council had no authority to pass such a bylaw. Toronto's health department has issued an ordinance covering this question, and Oshawa may follow suit, One sceptical farmer, at least, has been convinced that science is right. He didn't believe that the results of tests conducted by Vet- erinary Inspector Dr. C. S. Dickin- son of this city, showing that his milch cows were affected by tuber- culosis, were correct--until he was shown. In connection with. his campaign of tests, in an endeavor to weea out all cows affected with tuber- culosis, from herds supplying milk to the city, Dr. Dickinson, a few days ago called upon a certain far- mer and tested his cattle. Labora- tory examination showed thar =a number of his cattle were more or less seriously suffering from the disease. 'The farmer, however, declared he would not get rid of the cows so affected, as the animals looked perfectly healthy and he did not believe 'they had tuberculosis. Farmer Convinced That Tests Mean Something A few days later, the farmer took three steers to a local slaugh- ter house. All three looked fairly healthy and appeared to be fairy good beef animals. Post mortem examination showed them suffer- ipg from tuberculosis, one of them having it in the advanced stages. The farmer was brought to the slaughter house and shown the T. B. lesions, and was forced to ad- mit, by the evidence of his own 'eyes, that there was tuberculosis in his herd. Some of the cows in this herd, said Dr. Dickinson, were becoming so badly affected that nature's me- thod of eliminating the disease was showing itself--they were refusing to breed. The presence of tuber- culosis, in a herd almost inmariab- ly made the animals money-losing propositions instead of profit mak- ers 'for the farmer, said the veter- inary inspector. The city council at a recent meet- COMMUNIST HAD TAME MEETING AT LAKEVIEW PARK CURIOUS CITIZENS "WERE DISAPPOINTED AT AFFAIR Two Speakers on Hand, but Those Advertised Did Not Show Up The Communist meeting held at Lakeview Park last night to cele- brate Red Day proved to be rather a tame affair, as compared with some retent meetings in Toronto. About one thousand people, drawn to the park out of curiosity, gath- ered around the bandstand, expect- ing some real verbal fireworks, but they were disappointed. It had been announced that F. Rosenberg and H. Murphy, two outstanding Communists, would address the gathering, but for some reason they failed to show up ,and two substitutes, Dorothy Lawrence, a Young Communist leader of Tor- onto and Joe Salsberg, also of Tor- onto, came here in their places. The speeches followed the usual Communist line, and everytning was quiet while Miss Lawrence opened the meeting and while Sals- berg was making a tirade against the American Federation of Labor. A good deal of heckling and shout- ing started when he declared that he was ashamed of the British Em- pire, and would never fight to de- fend it. For about an hour this went on, while the great majority of the great listened with a certain amount of tolerant amusement. No- thing of a serious nature, however, developed, and the meeting broke up about 9.30. Police were on hand in case of disorder, but their ser- vices were not required, although one constable escorted Miss Law- rence and Salsberg to the street car, SCARBORO NOT $0 SURE REGARDING LAKESHORE ROUTE MEMBERS OF COUNCIL STUDY SITUATION Various Views Expressed on Feasibility of New Highway Scarboro, Aug. 2.--Although the municipality most concerned in such a project if carried out, Scar- boro' has not yet been invited to take part in the conference which Mayor Mitchell of Oshawa three weeks ago was authorized to call by the Oshawa City Council, to dis- cuss a proposed new lakeshore eastern highway running paraflel to Kingston Road. Such was the statement of W. D. Annis to the press last night. Difficulties Seen Opinion on the matter is by no means unanimous in Scarboro', and many difficulties are seen to stand in the way of such an undertaking. Harry Kirwin, Chairman of the Public Utilities Commission, when spoken to pointed out that Secar- boro' Waterworks property would have to be penetrated if such a road was decided upon, and this could not be easily done. Deputy Reeve Beckett favored a road running parallel to Kingston Road about one mile north of that highway, while Deputy Reeve John Linden has placed himself on rec- ord to the Ministry of Highways as advocating an extension of Queen Street through the township over the lake-front. Attitude Uncertain Until an official invitation is re- ceived by the Township Couneil, it cannot be definitely stated what at- titude Scarboro' will adopt at such a conference. Public opinton in the meantime appears to be against such an undertaking. For the present local interest is centred over the new highway to be opened in North Scarboro', providing a 'connection with Lansing, which will permit through traffic to points west of Toronto to avoid NEW SPEED LIMIT ONKINGSTON ROAD Municipalities Allowed to Put Twenty Miles an Hour in Force Birch Cliff, Aug. 1--Warning no- tices were Wednesday placed among the Kingston road at various spots between the city limits and the junction of the Kingston' highway with the Danforth section of the highway, reminding motorists of the reduced speed limit on that sec- tion of the King's highway. Twenty miles per hour is the lim- it from: Victoria Park avenue, the city limits, on both the Kingston and the Danforth highways to the point where the two converge, the speed having been lowered from the 35 miles allowed in other parts Water at The Local Beach Found Dangerously Infected And Menace if Swallowed K.

PICNIC WAS HELD WEDNESDAY AT LAKEVIEW PARK Visitors Were Present From Toronto, Montreal and Elsewhere St. Gregory council 2670, Knights of Columbus held their an- nual picnic at Lakeview Park, Ush- awa, on Wednesday afternoon, when about five hundred gathered to enjoy themselves for the day. After the children had visited the large booth erected in the ball park, for supplies of ice cream, soft drinks, and novelties, they went to an adjoining piece of ground where the sports were held. All the events were keenly contest- ed, and in the children's race of under 6 years there were thirty-two entrants each of which received a prize. This pleased the little folk who did not run as fast as their fleeter companions. After an appetizing supper had been supplied by the ladies of St. Gregory's parish, the prizes were distributed. A large crowd gath- ered to see the tug of war events, and to cheer the ball players. Visiting members from Toronto and Montreal were present, besides several from surrounding towns. All were unanimous in voting the picnic a great success. Sports Programme Boys under nine years--Fergus Brady, Bernard Buckley, Ed. Gun- nard. Girls under 9 years--M.

TESTING OF COWS IS PROCEEDING Report Presented to Board of Health by Veterinary Inspector A total of 47 cows supplying milk to local dairies were tested durirg the last month by Veterin- ary lMepector Dr. C. 8S. Dickinson, and sen of them showed T.B. re- action, according to the report of the inspector presented to the Board of Health last night. These tests were made in con- nection with the campaign that the inspector is conducting in an en- deavor to have all cattle supplying milk to Oshawa citizens free rom touberculosis. While all milk sold to citizens of Oshawa is pasteuriz- ed at the local dairies, the precau- tion against tuberculosis is an ex- tra measure to give double protec- tion, and to also reduce the per- centage of beef slaughtered here affected by this disease. of the township of Scarbgro. Dr. Dickiuson's report for the Overflow from I Present In- adequate Sewage Disposal Plant Dumped Into Lake, Infecting Water With Harmful Bacteria "~~ WATER TESTED "/ERY UNSATISFACTORY" Board Will Send Letier.. to City Council Strongly Urging That Plant Be Proceeded With--Present One Built For Town of 7,000 People The construction of an adequate sewage disposal plant for the eity was again urged by the Board «cf Health test of the lake water off the Oshawa bathing beach had shown it to be dangerously infected with bac- teria, and a menace to bathers if any of it were swallowed. A recommend. ation from the Board, strongly urg- ing that the new plant be proceeded with at once, will be sent on to the city council. The question was introduced in the monthly report of Sanitary Inspector D. A. Hubbell, who declared that the matter should not be allowed to lapse any longer with the water being con- tinually polluted with raw sewage as it is at the present time, the present sewage disposal plant being. entirely inadequate to treat the outflow ftom the city. Recommendation Passed Dr. T. W. G. McKay was instruct- ed on motion of D. A. J. Swansen and P. A. MacDonald to frame a strong resolution to be presented to the city council that an adequate sewage disposal plant be constructed. "It has been shoved about by most of the city councils in the last 10 years and it is time some action was tak- en," Mr. Swanson said. A water sample taken at the beach showed bacteria count as "too num- erous to mention" and the water "very unsatisfactory." While water delivered through the water mains was absolutely pure, there was dan- ger to bathers in the lake if they swallowed any of the water, Dr. T, W. G. McKay asserted. Weed, Inspector . W. G. McKay took excep- tion to the appointment of Sanitury Inspector Hubbell as Weed Inspect- or, without the Board of Health, un- der which the Sanitary Inspector works, being consulted in the matter. Expenses of "enforcing the Weed Control Act, particularly the taxi bill of $150 per 'month, should not be le- vied against the Board of Health's budget, as is now being done, he de- clared, but should be charged against the finance committee of the cotn= cil and then levied against the own- ers of vacant lots on which it was necessary to cut weeds. D. A. J. Swanson and Alderman P. A. Macdonald, other members of the board, supported Dr. McKay in his contention. On motion of D. A. J. Swanson and P. A. Macdonald the medical officer, of health, Dr. T. W. G. McKay was requested to prepare a report on the question of the establishment of a veneral disease clinic in the zity.' The report of Sanitary Inspettor Hubbell was as follows: ; As you are no doubt aware the additional work of Weed Inspector has been turned over to me, and the source from whence it came I have not found as yet, but in an (Continued on page 14) I ------------ rn, The Birchgrove Steelworks, Swan- sea, together with loose plant, have been sold by public auétion at Swan- sea for £11,807 to.
