-- ie. hs Ds THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1929 PAGE THREE Record Entries For Oshawa Fair, Oshawa Was Threatened ~ With Water Famine as Result Of Mishap at Pumping Station Failure of Employee to Close Gate-valve While Changes Were Being Made, De- pleted System of Its Re- serve, and Left Citizens Without Supply AUXILIARY ENGINE PROVED ITS WORTH Gasoline Operated Pumps Saved the Situation After Breakdown in Hydro Transformer Had Made It Impossible to Operate the Service Euipment For a short time yesterday, Osh- awa was on the verge of a water fa- mine, Had it not been for the mam- moth gasoline auxiliary pumping cn- gine at the city's pumping station, this . famine would have been a rea- lity, As it was, the situation which deprived the higher levels in the city of a water supply for about forty minutes to an hour was overcome by the usc of the auxiliary plant, which, fortunately, was installed two or three months ago as an added pro- tection 'against just such a conting- ency as occurred yesterday. The cause of the water failure yes- terday, to state the case frankly, was the tailure of the human element. The neglect of someone to close the gate-valve while some connections at the filtration plant were being changed, caused a partial depletion of the reserve water supply, and a complete draining of the clearwell The reserve in the water tower, how- ever, kept the city supplied with wa- ter until about one o'clock, a period of about 8 hours. Coupled with this there was a breakdown on the trans- former supplying power to the pump- ing station, so that, even when this mistake was discovered and rectified, it was impossible to usc the regular service pumps to bring back the wa- ter pressure into the city mains. It was then that the gasoline auxiliary was pressed into service, and this, the first call made upon it, was suffi- cient to prove its value to the citi- zens, for, as City Engineer Smith stated to The Times when he was seen at the pumping station, the whole city was depending on it yes- terday afternoon, Trouble Developed Early The trouble which deprived the citi- zens of water for part of the fore- noon and afternoon of a warm Sun- day developed between five and sev- en o'clock in the morning, although it was not until some hours later that it was discovered. The engineer had decided to turn on some new connections in the filtration plant, and, as is usual when this is done, he chose an early hour on Sunday motrn- ing to do the job, since it requires cutting off the water pressure while it is being done, Everything seemed to go on just as usual until an effort was made to start pumping again, when it was found that the water pressure injectors failed to respond, and that the water pressure was not ! rising. The cngincer began an in- vestigation, and on looking into the clear well at the filtration plant, found that the gate valve was open and that the water was rushing right back in- to the lake. Valve Left Open The cause of the trouble was at once apparent, The gate valve had been left open, and the whole system had been. drained clear of water. Even the standpipe had been emptied. City Engineer Smith stated that the whole reserve of 100,000 gallons of water had gone back into the lake. Break in Transformer On the important valve being closed, an effort was made to get the pumps going again, but it was found that power tYouble had developed. An inspection showed that the bus bar on the transformer controlling the load which operated the pumps in the power house was broken, and that the pumps could not be started, The only alternative, in order to give the city a supply of water, was to turn on the gasoline auxiliary, and this was done, It returned water to the system at a rate of 3,500 gallons a . minute, about twice the normal de- mand on the system. Immediately the pressure responded, and about two o'clock the 'citizens in every part of Oshawa again had water running from their taps. At that hour, there was a reading of 65 pounds of pres- sure on the gauge at the fire hall where the staff, having been notified of the trouble by the engineer, was standing by to watch the water pres- sure, 223543 (REP Back to Normal Once the pressure was restored, and a reserve of water created, the auxiliary was shut off, and the brok- en transformer repaired. This done, + the pumps were again set in motion = about three in the afternoon, * and the situation returned to normal. During the period for which the citizens were without a water sup- = ply, the telephone at the pumping sta- "tion 'was kept ringing constantly, < hundreds of people being anxious to "know why the water had been shut off, and for a time there was some + real anxiety as to whether or not the +544 AFR FIRE DAMAGES JOHNST. W. HOUSE Blaze Broke Out in Vacant Home Early Sunday Morning Fire breaking out in a storey-and- a-half frame house, recently pur- chased by Abner Walker, at 32 John street west, early Sunday morning, caused damage estimated at $700, The flames which originated in the base- ment, near the cellar steps, swept up into the first floor and the heat of the conflagration was so intense that all the walls and partitions were charred. The fact that the roof is sheathed with tin prevented the flames from breaking out through it. The blaze was discovered shortly before five o'clock by Mrs. Dr, F. J. Donevan, who noticed the reflection of the fire from her home next door. The fire brigade was called and after battling the flames for several min- utes finally got the situation under control, There was no one in the house at the time as the Walker family had not yet moved in. The fire is thought to have origin- ated from the wiring in the basement. Much of the damage was caused by the intense heat which was sufficient to peel off the wall-paper in the up- stairs bedrooms, The loss is covered by insurance. MAKES PLEA FOR ATTENDANCE. AT CHURGH SERVICES Rev. C. E. Cragg Scores Laxity in Church Attendance A plea to Christian people to make their church their first consideration on Sunday, and not succumb to the increasing practice of attending only one church service on the Sabbath, was made by Rev, C, E, Cragg, pas- tor of King: street United church, yesterday, Rev. Mr. Cragg preached on the subject "After the Holiday-- What?" Rey. Mr. Cragg called upon his congregation to join with him in for- mulating a policy of work to be un- dertaken during the coming winter, and outlined some of the problems that had to be faced in Christian work in general. "We must face the problem of a slackening in church attendance," he said. -"King street church has an enviable record, for, except for two or three others, not one church in the Bay of Quinte con- ference has even as large evening congregations as ten years ago." There were two things accounting for the laxity in church attendance, said the speaker, First was that this was an age of real pleasure loving. "The tendency 'towards the forty- 'hour week, and a long week-end free for the workers, means a greater de- mand for pleasure on the part of the workers and a consequent desecration of the Sabbath, The Lord's Day is being turned into a holiday," he de- clared. The second condition was that people were contenting themsel- ves with attending. church only once on Sunday, Rev. Mr, Cragg declared, making a plea for Christians to make the church their first consideration on Sunday. FLOWER SUNDAY AT ALBERT ST. CHURCH Beautiful Services Held in Church Decorated by : 'Flowers Flower Sunday was observed at Al- bert street United Church yesterday and large congregations were present at both the morning and evening services. Many beautiful blooms were brought to the church and the inter- jor was charmingly = decorated with fragrant flowers. They were massed about the pulpit and the choir gal- lery while the arch above the pulpit bore a motte written in letters form- ed by white flowers, "God is Love." The pastor, Rev. R. A. Whattam preached two inspiring sermons, his morning subject being based on 1 John, 3:16, "Hereby perceive we the love of God." In the evening. Rev. Mr. Whattam's subject was entitled "A Lesson from a Scottish flower garden," based on Isaah 35:2 where it is stated "They shall bloom abun- dantly." God's redeeming love was the theme stressed throughout the ay. citizens were to be faced with a wa- ter famine. The Bell Telephone Com- pany gave splendid assistance to the officials by giving information'as to the trouble at the pumping station, thus saving the time of the men working at the plant. It is certain that had the auxiliary engine not been available at the pumping sta- tion, a very serious situation might have developed. - NATIVE INDIAN PREACHER GAVE INSPIRING TALK REV. J. W. R. NETRAM, D.D., ADDRESSED JOINT SERVICE Claimed Christianity Taking Place of Other Religions in India A story of the rapidly declining inufluence of Mohammedanism in India, and the turning of Moham- medans and Hindus to Christlan- ity in that country at the rate of over 2,000 per week, was told last night by Rev, John W. Richards Netram, D.D., famous native preacher associated with Dr. Stan- ley Jones in India, to a combined audience of the congregations of Simcoe street, Centre street and St, Adnrew"s United Churches. The decline of Mohammedan in- fluence in both Turkey and Egypt, the strongholds of Islam, - were being reflected in India, said Dr. Netram, In both Turkey and Egypt, traditional Mohammedan customs were swept away and now mono- gamic marriage was the rule; the Christian calendar had replaced the Mohammedan one; the Moham- medan holy day, Friday, had been replaced by the Christian Sabbath, Sunday; and many other changes had taken place. These changes had been reflected in India, where the position of Mohammedanism was becoming shaky. Land Transformed Dr. Netram spoke from the text "Behold I .make all things new," declaring that, throughout the world, the one work of Christ was to make all things new. Speaking almost perfect English, this swarthy native son of India held his large audience through a sermon of nearly an hour, while he expound- ed the many ways in which Christ- fanity was transforming his native land, The son of an Indian native Christian of one of the lower castes of India, this man has at- tained a high education and was now an associate of Dr, Stanley Jones, one of the outstanding Christian workers in India, He was the confidant of rajahs and of the British rulers in the provinces of Central India where he labored, and was in touch with the pulse of that country in relation to Christianity, India, he said, has a population of 350 millions, one- fifth of the total population of the Globe. Of these, 220 millions were Hindus, 70 millions were Moham- medans, 5 millions were Christ- (Conttnuea on Page 7) GUT-N DRIVER RECEIVES FINE Tourist Pays $20 and Costs Following Motor Crash Yesterday A fine of $20 and costs will be imposed upon Murray Schooter, of Chicago, Ill, and his car will re- main impounded until a settlement for damages can be arrived at as a result of a minor motor accident which occurred on the Kingston highway near Thornton's Corners, last night, in which Schooter's car is alleged to have cut in on a car driven by Edward - Hemswortn, causing it to collide with a tele- phone pole. Schooter pleaded not guilty before Magistrate. Hind but was convicted of the offense charg- ed after evidence had been given by Edward Hemsworth, Highway Trafic Officer S. A. Hilliard, Traf- fic Constnble McCammond, Mrs. Hemsworth and Mrs. Bailey, occu- pants of the wrecked car. On hearing the evidence of the witnesses the accused agreed that his car might have been responsible for the accident. He showed will- ingness to make good the damage, however, and Magistrate Hind commended him for his frankness. Schooter will be asked to' appear again on Wednesday or previous to that time if he is able to effect a settlement with Hemsworth, SALVATION ARMY SPECIAL SERVICES Captain Ham, Toronto, Con- ducts Question and Ans- wer Meeting Special services at the Salvation Army Citadel yesterday included an interesting. question and answer meeting in the morning, and in the evening a rousing Salvation meeting which was addressed by Staff Cap- tain Ham of the Salvation Army Training College, Toronto. Captain Ham was accompanied by Sergeants Bursey and Smith and by Lieutenant McLean of the Training College. The captain asked many questions of holiness, in connection with the topic "Objections to Holy Living," and these were answered by the young men from the college. At the evening service, Captain Ham took as his subject "A Living Christ." Both services were in charge of Ensign and Mrs, A. Dixon of the local corps, FOUR GENERATIONS IN OSHAWA FAMILY AN INTERESTING GROUP Above is an interesting photograph of four generations of the Coakwell family, which is well known in Oshawa. The picture shows James Coakwell, 454 Logan Avenue, Toronto, with his son, W, J. Coakwell, shoe repairer, of 329 Court street; his grandson, M. Coakwell, of 63 Alexandra Boulevard, an employee of General Motors, and his great-grandson, Master Harold Coakwell, son of Mr, and Mrs. M. E. Coakwell. Several other members of the Coakwell family, besides those shown above, reside in Oshawa. 5 E. Plans are now well on the way for the monster reception which is to be given on Friday evening to the homecoming Dominion championship lacrosse team, the General Motors team of Oshawa, which is now on its way home af- ter a victorious trip to the Paci- fic Coast, As was announced on Saturday, the team is due at To- ronto on Friday morning, but if will not arrive in Oshawa until the evening, when the whole city will turn out to do henor to the laurels in lacrosse to the city. "Mike" Bouckley, the popular proprietor of "Mike's Place" has been appointed to take charge of the parade, and he is anxious to make this representative of every element of the sporitng life of the city. For that reason he is appealing to every sports organ- ization and club to turn out for the parade, and to wear their uniforms, so as to add a touch of Appeal to Organizations And Clubs to Join Parade At Reception of Champions color to the to have - each club taking scene. He proposes 'organization and part supplied with a banner, but in crder that this can be done, it is necessary that he should. know which organiza- tions: are to be on hand. He therefore requests that the of- ficials of all clubs and organiza- tions willing to join in the par- ade communicate with him at once, so that the banners can be made ready for use on Friday evening, Mr. Bouckley wants a monster parade, and is anxious that every sporting interest in Oshawa be fully represented. Mr Bouckley also asks that the boy scout and girl guides of the city also join in the parade, in uni- form, so that they, too, will have a share in doing the honors to the Dominion lacrosse champions. The hour of the parade has not yet been definitely set, but it will be annuonced later in the week. _It is announced today that J. A Coleman, head of the Coleman cart- age business, has purchased from Fred Flintoff and Sons the cement block business at 81 Richmond street west, this city, and will proceed at once to convert it into a modern fur- niture storage warehouse, The build- ing is forty feet by sixty-five feet, and the property on which it is sit- uated has an area of forty by one hundred and fifty feet, so that there is ample room for expansion should that become necessary. The location of the building is also very conven- ient for the purpose for which it is to be used, since there is a siding of the Oshawa Railway Company along the front of it, The equipment of this building as a furniture storage warehouse will J. A. Coleman Buys Building On Richmond Street West For Storage Warehouse fill a much-felt need in the city in providing dry, frost-proof storage for furniture and household effects. This is the only class of goods, Mr. Cole- man states, that will be stored there. Mr. Coleman proposes to adopt the separate room system of storage, a- long the lines approved in the large city warehouse, and the building will be laid out with at least thirty sep- arate compartments. Being of cem- ent block construction, the building is of such type as to ensure very low insurance rates, and altogether it is admirably adapted for the purpose for which it has been secured. It is also very conveniently located for business purposes, since Mr. Cole- man's office at 85 Bond street west, is just a block away from the storage warehouse, MISSION AT THE KING ST. CHURCH MRS. ETHEL E. PATTER- SON SPOKE LAST NIGHT Will Hold "Practising Mis- sion" Here For All of This Week There came to the city Saturday, as the guest of Mrs, Edith B. Mn- lard, of Richmond St. East, a wo- man from California, Mrs, Ethel KE. Patterson, who for twelve years, has been conducting missions in the larger churches of the United States with very great success. The King street United Church immediately asked Mrs. Patterson to conduct a mission here, evea though the early season and lack ot time would necessarily keep some away, and so she spoke for a hair hour last evening after the regular service, which had already been ar- ranged for. She said: '""All the trouble with the world, political, social, eduta- tional and religious, is due wholly to a lack of realization of God ana use of His wisdom and power in those activities." "Even church membership un- fortunately does not insure a truly spiritual life, lived in His Presence, informed by His wisdom. Half of the church members, perhaps more, are still ecarnally minded, even as in Paul's day; that is their minds are sold to their families, their busi- ness and desires for prosperity, and they know how much more wonder- fully all these human affairs run when He wills and works in them." Practicing Mission Mrs. Patterson discovered early in her career ' that people went homef rom brilliant sermons, said "That was fine,"" and did nothing about it--so she arranged what has been called a 'Practicing Mis- sion' so that each talk would cir- cle about some particular phase of the spiritual life to he practiced before the next lesson for she says, '""When people once have vivid ex- perience of God or any law of the spiritual life, they can never quite forget. Knowledge once gained by experience is knowledge forever." Services Each Evening Mrs. Patterson's talks will be at eight each evening commencing Tuesday and closing Saturday even- ing. | Tuesday evening she will talk on ways and means of making God a the day, with instructions for each member to make it real in his or her own life. As Mrs. Patterson works In churches of every type, all people of the city are welcome.

At that time bicycle clubs existed in all the larger towns and cities and "it was not uncommon for the clubs to take « excursions of thirty or forty miles into the country. The roads were often rough but this meant little to the enthusiastic members.
