THE OSHAWA DALY TIMES, THURSDAY, AUGUST 7, 1929 o Cl Resign Seats in East Si ame (EC Oshawa Plant ant Will Manufac- ture Chevrolet Cars for Growing Market Which Has Peak Demand During the Canadian Off Season REVIEW OF FIELD IN NEW ZEALAND Article in Automotive In- dustries Shows the Possi- bilities of Development of This Market for Automo- biles Made on This Con- tinent The following article from Auto- motive Industries which outlines the remarkable possibilitics of expansion of the automobile trade in New Zealand, is af particular interest to citizens of Oshawa, as"the Canadian division of General Motors was re- cently allotted the production of all Chevrolet cars for the New Zealand trade. Since the motoring season in New: Zealand comes at the opposite time of the year to that in Canada, the production of cars for the New Zealand trade means that the local plant will be operated to a greater extent than formerly in the fall and winter, the slack scason in the domestic automobile sales year. Studying Question e vital question of the day in New Zealand is transportation, The American automobile is surely a fran 'help in solving this question. New Zealand Government is thoroughly alive to the importance of 'motor rans hoyratioh in the de- Yelopment of the country, and the Prime' Minister, the Hon, Sir Joseph: Ward, has picked a special Board to study' every' angle of highway de- velopment co-ordination of rail and motor' transportation, traffic prob- lems, safety-first plans, etc. "The findings of- this Board will, it is believed, do much to further the substantial steps that already have been taken. Road building and improvement of existing roads dur- ing the next few months is definitely on the program. This program has beet adopted in lieu that which the! er governments had to ex- parid fits railways to the outlying piping Under. the present plan the accessibility of the larger city will be made 'avdilable to the resi- dents of the smaller towns by means of good roads. This, no doubt, will result in an increasing number of passenger cars and track sales. 75,000 Miles of Roads "New Zealand has nearly 75,000 miles of roads open to the motor traffic. Approximately 50,000 miles are in splendid shape and the new program will develop the remaining 25, to such an extent that New Zealand will have a highway sys- tem that is equal to that of many larger countries , "Automotive conditions are better than they have been in five years. The entire buying power of New Zealand depends on the prosperity of its butter and cheese crop and its wool clip, This season just pass- has been a banner one from both a production standpoint = and from high prices being realized. It being the second good year in succession that the farmers there enjoyed, the spirit of cautiousness that was so in evidence last year has been aban- doned to a large extent and the far- mer is buying motor cars and com- mercial vehicles more freely. . r Sales 'From presers indications the sale of 'passenger cars in 1929 should total very close to 20,000 units and commercial vehicles will exceed 3,000 units. In 1928 there were 16,680 passenger cars registered as com- pared with 12998 in 1927. The American imports in both years were 83 per cent of the total. It is interesting to note that the only really appreciable gain made by any British car was that made by the Austin. In 1927 there were 656 Austins registered, accounting for 5%. per cent of the total passenger car registered, In 1928 there were 1308 Austins registered, accounting for 7.7 per cent of the total cars registered or more than half of the entire British registration. "This is not such a serious condi- tion for American manufacturers as it would appear at the first glance, for it is believed that more than 75 per cent of the Austins sold in both years were of the "Baby type . This little model is reputed to be landed to dealers in New Zealand at the fob. London price. The New. Zea- land retail price is in the vicinity of £178 or $900. It is not plain to the industry as a whole how the Aus- tin factory can be making any money on their small model. Tt is believed that this price is being uoted 'so as to get the name_ Aus- tin well to the fore. If so, if is a successful. campaign that. they are he 3 o other British car manufac- turers, the Morris and the Clyno have in the past few months placed their baby els on the market. Enough time has not yet elapsed to forecast with what success they will meet. It is thought that should an American car manufacturer come out with a small model that it would enjoy big sales in New Zealand. Gasoline costs 54 cents an imperial gallon there and if a baby car can get. 40 to 50 miles per gallon it is a big selling point in its favor. Duty "Well over 50 per cent of the total sales made in New Zealand gre in cars retailing at less than ATTENDS FAMILY REUNION W. D. Annis, clerk of Scarboro township, and for many years recve, attended the Annis fam- ily' reunion at Lakeview Park, Oshawa yesterday. He is a grand. son of the founder, Levi Annis, of the family in Scarboro. $1,500 there. It must be remember- ed that all factors included, the total duty of an American ¢ar val- ued at less than $1,500 comes to over 56 per cent. Then there is long haul of 6000 miles from the base, fairly high freight and landing charges, etc. When the car is re- tailed in New Zealand it usually is sold .in the vicinity of 100 per cent more than the American user would have to pay. "The habit of granting excessive trade-in values on used cars is be- ing discontinued to a large degree. The trade-in values were so high for a year or two that although a number of dealers were selling many cars, they were not rcally making any money. The fallacy of their practice is generally realized by all the dealers now and is having a wholesome effect. "Second-hand car stock is low. Dealers are not making the effort that they formerly did to rid them- selves of their new cars and stock up heavily with trade-ins. It is the rule now to get a limited amount of second-hand - cars on hand and then not to make any more trade- ing until some of thc used cars have been sold. | "With the continued prosperity has come a spirit of confidence, optimism and general belief that 1929 will be one of the best from a dealer's point of view that the New Zealand trade has known.

All the members were present, with Reeve Ross occupying the chair. Two petitions were presented to the council, One of these, signed by A. J. Hicks and eight others, asked for a sidewalk on the north side of Kingston road, running east from the boundary line with Osh- awa." The other was a petition signed by E. G. Green and 36 others asking that street lights be placed on MacDonald. The resignations of Deputy Reeve Smith and Ceuncillor Dyer were ac- cepted with regret, and the treas- urer was instructed to draw an or- der for $45 in favor of Députy Reeve Smith. Communications were read from Mrs. S. J. Babe, H. F. Werry, R. J. Luke, William Hepburn, the county clerk, F. R. Weeford and Co., the treasurer of Oshawa, the clerk of Whitby township and Ro- land Moffatt. It was decided by resolution of Councillors Dyer and Scott that the clerk be authorized to arrange a meeting place in Oshawa in the near future to hold a court of re- vision, regarding the sidewalks constructed in 1928. A resolution was moved by Coun- cillors Dyer and Scott and carried that Reeve Ross and Councillor Glover be a committee to look into the situation regarding the ceme- (Continued on tinted ionupate- 4) W.

NATIVE OF WHITBY HAS GOLDEN WEDDING Mr. and Mrs, Robert Walter Robson, 8 Ravina Ores., who, among the circle of their children and grandchildren, observed their golden wedding anniversary recently. Mr. and Mrs. Robson were married Aug. 5, 1879. Mr. Rob is a har ker and was born in Whitby, Mr. and Mrs, Robert Walter Robson, 8 Ravina Cres., Toronto, celebrated their golden wedding anniversary on "Puesday evening, the children and grandchildren being the guests. The event took the form of a surprise party, ar- ranged by the children of Mr, and Mrs. Robson. Mrs, Robson was formerly Miss Elizabeth Delaney, born on Jar- vis St, and she is 67 years of age. Mr. Robson was born in Whitby, but has spent the greater part of his life in Toronto, They were married in Toronto on August 5, 1879. Mr. Robson is a harness- maker and has been in the busi- ness all hig life. Mr: and Mrs. Robson have seven children, three sons, Robert, Wil- liam and Charles, all of whom are resident in Toronto, and four daughters: Mrs. Wm, Keough, 59 Hastings, Ave., Toronto; Mrs. Wal- ter Wooley, ' 315 Jones Ave., To- ronto; Mrs. Herbert Zettle, Kit- chener; and Miss Georgina Robson, who resides with her parents. Among those present were the 24 grandchildren of Mr. and Mrs. Pobson. A purse of gold was pre- sented to the pioneer couple by their son-inlaw, Mr, William Keough, on behalf of the affection- ate family, After the presentation, supper was served, and a happy evening was spent. Preference For Local Men In Filling Vacancies Is Employment Office Rule Practically all placements made by the government employment of- fice here are for local men, Geurge Hamilton, in charge of the local of- fice stated to The Times yesterday. Mr. Hamilton was interviewed in connection with a statement made by Mayor McBride of Toronto that only bona fide residents of Toronto would be given first preference in the provision of eivic employment. "Men call* here from Toronto, Hamiltofi, Brantford and many oth- er cities," Mr. Hamilton said, 'but in every case we tell them that there is no work to be had in Osh- awa. We first attempt to find em- ployment for residents of the city." The labor market is glutted at the present time with unskilled workers, According to authentic in- formation provided by the employ=- ment office. There' is still some demand for skilled labor in the building trades and through the ef- forts of the local burean men have been placed on constriction Joos at Bowmanville and Port Hope. Anxious to Work The majority of unemployed in Oshawa are men who have been working in the factories. Through seasonal slackness in these indus- tries many have been laid off while some are working short hours. All geem anxious to do work of any kind and the majority of place- ments during the past month have been for add jobs. Last year the demand for un- skilled labor was much heavier than it is at the present time due to the fact that the Standard Pav- ing Co. was doing extensive work in the city, while the Guest Con- struction Co, was engaged in lay- ing an underground cable for the Bell Telephone Co. Up until the present time the Standard Paving Co. has not entered upon operations here. No Excursions Another factor in the employ~ ment situation relates to. the light wheat crop in the western provin- ces. There is no likelihood of a harvesters' excursion this summer and Mr. Hamilton claims that in previous years a large number of workers left Oshawa to find em- ployment in the western grain fields. Failure of farm immigration schemes are not reflected at the Oshawa office, Mr. Hamilton states. His department has not come in contact with immigrants from the old country who have come here as farm laborers, although there are said to be many such men in To- ronto. During the month of July there were 575 applications for work re- ceived at the employment' office, while notification was received of 544 vacancies. The total number of placements made numbered 526 a large number of which were for odd jobs. Of this number 125 were women, who received steady or occasional domestic employ- ment, Contlitions 3 other Ontario cities are' similar 'to "those prevailing here, as seasonal slackness has been reported in many industries. Mayor's 'Statement "First preference in the provision of civic employment will be given to logal men," *Mayor Mitchell stat- ed today in discussing the labor situation in the city. "It is strictly understood that jobs in contracts issued for city work must be given to residents of the city. Mayor Mitchell heartily concur- red with an announcement made by Mayor McBride of Toronto that Toronto would first consider the casc of bona fide residents in mak- ing provision for civic employment. Considered by Council "The council has taken this mat- ter up," he commented," and has made it plain to those who have been awarded contracts for paving, laying of sidewalks or any other public works." The government employment office was. commended by His Worship for its efforts in attempting to find placements for city men. He point- ed out that it was in close touch with local conditions and often co- operated with the city council in providing work for those who apeal- ed to the city for relief; MAGISTRATE IN A LENIENT MOOD Suspended Sentence Given in Theft and Re- ceiving Cases Magistrate Hind showed leniency yesterday to Roy Awalt, a young Nova Scotian employed at General Motors who was convicted of receiv- ing six spark plugs which had been stolen from the plant by Alvin Whiteman, a sweeper. Whiteman testified that he had stolen the ar- ticles and given them to Awalt. The latter denied the charge. . Magistrate Hind was convinced from the evidence that Awalt had committed the offense and pointed out to him that he was liable to 14 years'in the penitentiary. As Awalt is married however, Crown Attorney McGibbon was willing to consent that he be given a second chance and the court accordingly placed him on suspended sentence for two years. He will be Tequired to pay the costs amounting to $18.90 Whiteman told the court that he had taken the spark plugs because he had been asked to do so by Awalt. "I suppose you would have hanged yourself if he had asked you," the bench commented. Justice was tempered with mercy in this case also and Whiteman was allowed on suspended sentence un- der similar conditions. Two missing stanzas to "Home Sweet Home' have been found. It will take more than that to get the motorists to soy there.--Wich- ita Eagle. BAND CONCERT AT LAKEVIEW PARK Attendance Last Night Was Not Up to the Average There was a rather poor at- tendance in Lakeview Park yester- day evening, to hear the very at- tractive band concert provided by members of the Citizens' Band. The program opened with "O Can- ada', and from that time until the National Anthem, which concluded the evening's program, was Dplay- ed, the band attracted the inter- ested attention of music lovers. The marches were rendered with vigour, and familiar airs with un- derstanding, in fact the whole pro- gram was of a high calibre and was played excellently, Such fav- ourites ag" "Juanita", "Goodnight Ladies" and 'Jingle Bells", were heard during the course of the evening and very much-appreci- ated, The program was as follows: O Canada; March, "Our Director', Bigelow; , Waltz, "The Silver Glade", Skaggs; Overture, "South- ern Stars', Ascher-Mahl; March, "Invercargill", Lithgow; Overture, "The Calif of Bagdad", = Boeldieu; Medley, "Home Songs", Schumarn; March, "Nearer My od To Tife, March, "The Middy", Afford; "Nearer My God Te Thee". God Save the King. The average man is afraid to wear the kind of hot-weather gar- ments he'd like to. It 'ain't the heat. It's the timidity.--San Diego Union. ~ » pod rs To WORKMAN BADLY HURT IN WASHOUT ON G.N.R. TRACK ACCIDENT AT SPOT DAMAGED IN APRIL FLOOD Alfred Foskett of Harmony Was Buried Under Landslide Echoes of the fatal storm of Ap- ril 5 which took four lives in thic vicinity were heard south of Eben- ezer Monday, when a landslide oc- curred during the repairing of the big washout on the C.N.R., burying Alfred Foskett of Harmony. Fos- kett was rushed to the Oshawa Hos- pital where it is reported that he was quite seriously injured. ly without warning, and Foskett was completely buried. Frantical- ly workmen dug him out and he was rushed to the Oshawa Hospi- tal, where Dr. Ferguson, who at- tended him, found that he had suf- fered a dislocated hip and other injuries, and that his body was a mass of bruises. He was still suffering considerable pain today, hospital authorities reported, but he is progressing as well as could be expected and his recovery is ex- pected. A landslide occurred at this same place on Saturday, shortly after the gang of men had quit work for the day, apparently being caused by the rain of Saturday. It was consider- ed safe for the men to return to work, however, until the landslide occurred suddenly on Monday. No other workman was caught in the slide. The washout, which was being permanently repaired was the larg- est of many that were discovered following the storm of April 5. It left 75 feet of track suspended in mid air, with all the roadbed wash- ed out for a depth of 30 Seet, It was temporarily repaired, and trains have since been running over it under a slow order.

The defendant :claim- ed however that the other man had called (him an insulting. name; thus provoking the attack. i" GIVEN STERN WARNING "Keep away from bootleg booze," These words, similar to a line con- tained in a recent song hit were em- ployed by Magistrate Hind in police court yesterday when he admonished Robert Duffy, formerly of Scotland, who appeared on a charge of having liquor in a public place. Duffy who was arrested Tuesday night pleaded guilty to the charge. "I have no sympathy for bootleg- gers, or those who deal with boot- leggers," commented His Worship.

OLD FAMILY MEETS IN ANNUAL REDON Descendants © of Onlaiio County Pioneer Settler Hold Picnic 5 About 175 descendants of a sturdy Irishman, John Brown, who settled in Ontario more than 120 years ago, gathered at a great family reunion on the farm of William Brown, near Agincourt. John Brown, who died in Toronto in 1854, was born in Ireland, in 1776; and on his arrival in Canada took up claims in the virgin forests, near Whitby, Uxbridge and Port Perry, Four sons and two daughters car- ried on the work of their father and all took up claims in. the districts. The descendants of these six chil: dren to the fourth generation, were' present at the reunion of the pioneer family, From the United States and varoius parts of Ontario and other provinces, came members of the family, many of them being infants in arms, great great-grandchildren of the Irish settler. On the list of speakers were George A. Brown, ° of = Amityville, N.Y, president of the Brown Family association; N. C. Brown of Toron- to; George Brown, of Brooklin; R. J. Brown, of Seagrave; James.
