Footprint on Dock A search made in the vicinity revealed no clue as to what might have happened other than a man's footprint which was seen in the snow at the end of the dock, The police could do, nothing last night on account of the ice floes and the darkness. This morning a boat was launched over the side of the dredge at the bay and members of the force and others attempted dragging operations, No progress could be made however as the ice blocked the channel of open water and big cakes threatened to crush the little craft, A log boom may now be placed in the water CITY NEWS | AT TUXIS PARLIAMENT Douglas Henderson] elected as Oshawa's representative to the On- tario Tuxis® Boys' Parliament, is now in Toronto attending the ses- sions of that body.

This showing is to be made every day this weck, ex- cepting New Year's Day, in the staff garage behind the new office build- ing, on Richmond street east. It is also announced that for the con- venience of those who are unable to attend the showing during the day, the display will be kept open every evening, except Wednesday, of course, and the citizens of Oshawa and district are given a cordial in- vitation to attend and to look over the splendid new models which are being offered. i What Others Say CLEANING BYLAW 123 Patricia Ave, Oshawa, Dec. 29, 1929, THE SNOW The Editor Oshawa Dally Dear Sir: A vague hint was given recently in the "Times" that some action was to bo taken with regard to the snow clearing bylaw, As In past years the majority of the residents of the city have failed to exhibit that civic pride and consideration for the- pedestrian and in conse- quence, the latter must plod through snow or slugh, or perhaps worse still, endanger life or limb on icy sidewalks. From observa- tion, I am inclined to think that the ones most negligent in the matter of keepig their sidewalks clean are those residing in the better class of residence, and no doubt possess a car, so the condi- tion ofthe sidewalk does not in- torest them very much, Without any further delay the City Council should instruct the police department to issue sum- monses in cases of neglect to com- ply with the bylaw in question, and owner of vacant lots who do not keep their section cloar should be assessed the cost and work done by some of the citizens who are in receipt of relief from the city. Let us start now, and continuo in future years to keep the sider walks clean. so that the people of the city who are forced to walk can do so in comparative ease and Times, hair on your | safety, "Observer" Being | {ted very The introduction of new 80 soon after the announcement of wage Increases for Canadian Ford employes and of price redyc- tions on Ford cars and trucks is construed as indicative of belief on the part of Ford Motor Company of Canada, ltd. in sustained economic prosperity for Canada in 1930 and in continuance of the company's growing export trade with affiliated companies over- seas, No Price Changes Mr. Campbell is authority for the statement also that no change will be made in the prices of the various new body types. Improve- ments that have been built into the new Canadian Ford extend throughout all types of passenger bodies. Complete details of the changes made in Model A bodies were not divulged by Ford Company of Can- ada today. It is learned that dis- tinguishing features of the new Ford body types include materially increased riding space, comfort and safety together with radical improvements in appearance that produce sweeping lines and con- tours usually associated only with custom coach work rather than with a product of mass production, It is said that the cars that will be seen this week for the first time will sit lower and will present a floeter appearance than previous types, FINAL SHOWING OF CHRISTMAS PLAYS Little Theatre Productions Were Well Patronized on Saturday The Christmas plays of the Osh awa Little Theatre were given their final showing before a large audience in Rotary Hall on Saturday even- ing, following a very successful ma- tinee performance on Saturday at- ternoon. At the matinee, the audi- ence was largely composed of chil- dren, who enjoyed to the full the charming children's play, "The King of Bookland," and also the immortal story of Charles Dickens, "A Christ- mas Carol." The third play, "The Maker of Dreams," was also very favorably received. Among those taking minor parts in "A Christmas Carol," and who were not mentioned in Saturday's re- port, were A. H. Power, R.
