THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, AUGUST 29, 1929 PAGE THREE Part of Oshawa's Technical School Ready For O Fire Chief is Indignant Quer Many False Alarms; Promises Severe Action All was quiet in the business sec-4 tion yesterday afternoon with the ordinary traffic north and south on Simcoe street, and east and west on ng street. But at 4.30 o'clock there arose a sudden commotion In the fire hall. Bells rang and in another minute with sirens shriek ing, a hose truck and ladder wagon raced out, followed by the Fire Chief Elliott's special car. Everything had to move from the path of the speeding fire equip- ment, bent apparently on an errand | of protection. South on Simcoe street came the trucks of the fire department, then veering east on King street, they continued their mad race against time and fire tor the "no left turn order" cannot de observed by the fire fighters. It was a fine display but a dan- gerous one. Even the ordinary / citizen, who has never realized the childhood ambition of riding on 2a fire truck, knows that every run | eof the fire department is fraught with hazard to life and limb. The call yesterday came from Box 28, Olive Ave., but when the firemen arrived on the scene there was no sign of any conflagration and residents of the district were surprised to see them. Perplexed and indignant, the firemen return- ed to their quarters on Richmond: street. A few minutes later The Times called Fire Chief Elliott on the phone. "Where's the fire?" Times. , "Just another false alarm," re- plied the chief and the tone of his voice revealed the indignation which he felt. Fire Chief Elliott claims that his department has been bothered with a number of false alarms dur- ing the past few weeks and he gives assurance that severe measures will be taken if the offenders are caught. He points out that every run made by the fire department costs money to the ratepayers of Oshawa. Danger is always present and more than one fireman has lost his life while performing his duty in answering a false alarm. asked The a ------------------ Attentive service in your holiday hotel is, of course, most desirable, but it is a bit of a nuisance if car- ried so far that you, cannot get clear away without paying your bill --e ee 'TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY To RENT--BED SITTING ROOM and bedroom with breakfast for business girls or lady school teachers.

TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE Toronto, Ont., Aug. 29.-- (Noon) --A spectacular rise in Consoli- dated Mining and Smelting and a sharp upshoot in Goodyear Tire j marked a fairly strong market on j the Toronto Stock Exchange to- day. The three leading oils again supplied a goodly proportion of the trading but most of it was in profit-taking with the result that Imperial at 3624, British American at 66 and International Petroleum at 28% all showed minor declines. British American at one time touched a low of 64. Consolidated Smelters in a turnover of only 120 shares soared to a peak of 460, after opening at 400, with the noon quotation of 438, indicating a net appreciation of $38.00. Goodyear Tire followed with a net advance of 20 points to 325, after touching a high of 331. There were no definite group movements, with Consolidated Bakers advancing 2 to 34%, and Standard Steel a similar gain to 148, after reaching a top of 153. CHICAGO GRAIN EXCHANGE Chicago, Ills., Aug. 29.--Wheat prices receded at the opening today and touched the low level of last Monday before recovering.

Corn was unchanged to % cents lower at the start and oats unchanged to 3% cents lower while provisions were about steady 2 cents lower to 5 cents higher. STANDARD MINING EXCHANGE Toronto, Ont., Aug. 29.--While there were insufficient price changes to establish any definite trend, losses were well in excess of advances on the Standard Mining Exchange today. Both were of minor proportions, however, and were confined mostly to higher- priced stocks. Ajax Oil was again on a downward course, breaking to a low of 3.05, with the noon price of 3.19 recording a net de- preciation of 16 points, while Amulet was down 5 at 2.71. Noranda had the smallest turn- over for some time, the price easing 40 to 64.50, while Lake Shore was 15 cents lower at 24.50, and Hudson Bay was off 30 at 18.60, Pend Oreille, Ventures, Sherritt-Gordon and Sudbury Basin all recorded slight improve- ment, Teck-Hughes today reached a high of 6.86, with the last sale at noon showing a recovery of 10 cents at 6.55.

The little kitten is four days old, having been born on Sunday, and it is perfect in every other respect save that the right front leg is completely missing. There is not the slightest sign of this limb, but the other three legs are normal, although one was somewhat J twisted at the time of birth, and has ble prices." 2 - Kitten With Three Legs Born in Oshawa Sunday Is Real Freak of Nature only come back to its normal posi- tion since then. The kitten seems perfectly healthy, and does not seem, as yet, to be suffering any discom- fort from its lack of a limb, although little Peggy Hayes, its owner, is wondering what will happen when it starts to walk. The little girl is un- decided what to do with it, as she is very fond of her little pet, but rea- lizes that it will be badly handicap- ped 'by its shortage of a leg. , r THE WORK OF NEW MUSIC DIRECTOR Interesting Reference Concert Under Direction of Leonard Richer In connection with the appoint- ment of Leonard Richer, L.R.AM. as director of music for the local schools, the following clipping, taken from The Toronto Globe on May 22, 1929, may prove of interest to local readers. The clipping refers to Mr. Richer's work in Section No. 10, Scarboro' and reads as follows: "Nearly 400 children from the var- ious schools in Section No. 10, Scar- boro gave a concert last night in the Scarboro High school under the direction of Leonard Richer, L.R.A. M., Supervisor of Music. J. G. Work- man presided as chairman, disting- nished visitors included A. T. Gringan and D. H. A. Fricker, from Toronto, and the more than capacity audience enjoyed the program thoroughly and applauded with genuine fervor." Meritorious Work After describing the concert in de- tail the article states, "Mr, Richer has certainly accomplished a merit- orious work in Scarboro and must be congratulated upon the results achieved with the material at hand. His own fine enthusiasm means much to his pupils and they evidently sing or play with joy and spirit as well as with the sound beginnings of mus- ical intelligence." Another Tribute Again on May 29, 1926, The Toron- to Globe makes this comment upon Mr. Richer"s work in Scarboro. "Thorough musicianship is indispen- sable for carrying on this work in the schools, of course, but other qual- ities are equally essential if the best results are to be obtained. There must be a fine missionary enthusiasm, a thorough love of the work for its own sake high artistic conscience and ideals, effective teaching ability and the knack of getting the best out of children. Mr. Richer is strong in these particulars, as are many devo- ted men and women throughout On- tario who are carrying on this im- portant work very courageously and successfully, sometimes under severe handicaps." INITIATION OF CHOSEN FRIENDS Several New Members Were Initiated Into the Order Order of Chosen evening in 'the to The Canadian Friends met last lodge rooms, when the initiation ceremonies took place. The follow- ing were initiated in to the order: Miss Eileen Cuddy, Mr. and Mrs. Doyle, Mr. J. Connor, Mrs. Hagarty, Mrs. R. Ireland, Mr. G. Benns, Mr. Jamieson and Miss Marion Conliffe. A letter, which had been received from the head office. at Hamilton, was read and it was announced that the head office degree team would be in the city on October 27, for initia- tions. Mrs. A. W. Bell gave a re- port of the work of the Oshawa degree team, which has recently been formed of fifty members of the lodge. This team will take part in the competition 'at Hamilton on De- cember 7. It was announced that the Chosen Friend ball team would play the Oshawa Railway in Alexandra Park this evening. A social evening was planned for Wednesday, September 4, which will be held at the home of Mrs. Ireland, 115 Elgin street west. At the close of the meeting a social hour was en- joyed. Police Scatter Jews in Pars (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Paris, Aug. 29--Police scattered between 3,000 and 4,000 Jews who met last night in front of a syna- gogue on the Rue Pavee to protest happenings in Palestine. The build- ing held only 300 or 400, the remain- der crowding the street in front. No interference was made until haran- guers mounted tables and invited the manifestants to march to the British embassy. Malady Claims 136 in Japan (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Tokio, Aug. 20--Sleeping sickness prevalent in southwestern prefectures has continued to spread, particularly in the prefectures of Kagawa and Hiroshama, A total of 349 cases with 136 deaths was reported today. The figures were incomplete. The medical authorities described the epidemic as a sort of "cerebral influenza" usually beginning with a cold and spreading to the brain caus- ing coma. Usually the outbreaks end in the summer. The last epidemic was in 1924. ------------------------ Awaits Communists' P: Toronto.--Mayor McBride, inter- viewed last night, asserted that when the communists made a def- inite announcement of a further meeting, it would be time emough to consider measures of repression. "But you can take it from me," he added, emphatically, 'there will never be a communist meeting in Toronto, either in a public park, on a public highway or in a public hall." TRIBUTES PAD TO | OBITUARY FUNERAL OF HARRY' WARWICK The funeral of the late Harry Warwick, who met sudden death on the C.P.R. tracks on Saturday morn- ing, August 24, was held from his late residence, North Oshawa, to St. Gregory's Roman Catholic church last Monday morning. Mass was con- ducted in the church, interment tak- ing place in St. Gregory's cemetery. The number of floral tributes which were received testified to the esteem with which the deceased was held by a large circle of friends -and acquain- tances. Besides his sorrowing wife, he leaves to mourn his loss two step- children, Frank -and Anna. ONTARIO COUNTY FARMERS DO WELL AT EXHIBITION WIN MANY AWARDS IN THE GRAIN CLASSES Most of First Prizes Come to Ontario and Immediate Vicinity Several prizes were awarded to grain growers from Ontario county and the surrounding district in the judging of large classes of grain at the Canadian National Exhibition yesterday. The chief winners list- ed from this district were Lorne L. Bagshaw, of Uxbridge, who has for years been a successful competitor at the big agricultural shows; Bruce Broad, of Sunderland, C. A. Blanchard and Son, Hampton; G. N. Graham, Udora and Robert Ross, of Beaverton; and Bert Kennedy, Agincourt. The prizes which were won by this group of Ontario ana York county farmers were as fol- lows: The Awards Lorne L. Bagshaw, Uxbridge,-- fourth in flint corn; fourth in oats; third in fall wheat; third in red clover; second in field crop compe- tion in barley; fourth in sheaves of barley. G. N. Graham, Udora,--Second in oats; first in fall wheat; first in spring wheat; first in alfalfa; third in alsike; first in red clover; first in field crop competition in barley; third in sheaves of barley. Bruce Broad, Sunderland--third in oats; first in barley; fourth in fall wheat; second in spring wheat. C. A. Blanchard & Son, Hampton --fourth in field crop competition in fall wheat; fourth in sheaves of fall wheat. Robert Ross, Beaverton--second in field crop competition in fall wheat. Bert Kennedy, Agincourt--third in field crop competition in fall wheat. : Most of Firsts It is highly significant, from the standpoint of showing the fer- tility of Ontario county and the sec- tion of York county adjoining it, that the first prizes in fall wheat, spring wheat, barley, alfalfa and red clover, and most of the other awards, all came to farmers from that section of Ontario, in compe- tition with the whole of the prov- ince. SWIMMERS NEARLY WITHOUT FUNDS RESTLESS AT DELAY Temperament Shows Up in Face of Postpone- ment Toronto, Aug. 29.--Tempera- ment has been a quality generally associated with prima donnas and race horses. But Marathon swim postponements have added another class who are laying strong claims to the possession of this singular manifestation of mental strain. Al- son it has proven another interest- inig fact about long distance swim- mers--they are, in the main, to put it mildly, short of cash. Under the circumstances, the decision late yesterday of the officials to post- pone the big swim again until Fri- day, had brought no joy. These two highlights = were brought out in a visit to Hanlan's Point 'last evening. Here on the west shore of the Island is a popu- lar rendezvous of the marathoners where they work out on the actual course. They are a diversified and colorful lot, and for a few weeks, the Point is given somewhat of a League of Nations aspect. Most of them, including "Eddie" Keat- ing, "Bill" Ericson and Mark Wheeler, three of the favorites to finish with lunch money, are lo- cated at the *"Monreith House." Love multiplies beauty. Better a hero in the home than in the movies. ccupation New Eastern Addition to the - Collegiate and Vocational Institute Opens Next Tuesday Carpenters, Painters and Electricians.
