F. Cannon will be named pub- lic school inspector for the city of Oshawa, and the agreement with the county of Ontario whereby R. A. Hutchinson performs the duties of] inspector for this city, will be term- inated on July 31 next, if a recom- mendation passed by the Board of Education last night is approved by the Ontario Department of Educa- tion. Re-arrangements of the Col- legiate classcs also came in tor much discussion last night. Mr. Cannon has for some time been supervising principal of - the Oshawa public schools. The move, which was approved by the board last night, will promote Mr, Cannon into the position of inspector, He will continue doing practically the same work as at the present time, The Times was infdrmed, but it wiil be unnecessary in fulure for any out side inspector to vis\¢ the schools of the city. County Will Welco Move The .move also has another angle, and it is stated that it will be wel- comed by the county. Inspector Hut- chinson has a large territory to cover m his jurisdiction of South Ontario, and has been able to give only a re- latively small proportion of his time to the Oshawa schools. The new move would relieve him entirely of responsibility for the schools of this city and would leave him more time to concentrate upon the supervision of the other schools in his territory. (Continued on Page 2) STATEMENT BY PRESIDENT OF THE WHEAT POOL (Continued from Page 1) Ireland after a conference held yesterday. Conspiracy Denied "The association has heard witu amazement reports circulating in Canada that there is organized op- position in Great Britain to the purchase of Canadian wheat. These reports are certainly contrary to facts, The millers of this country are always anxious to purchase Canadian wheat provided its prices are approximately at world parity and to suggest there is any con- spiracy against Canadian interests is absurd, "The high commissioner is fur- ther finstruced to make clear to the Canadian people that the re- ports are a travesty of the real situation. Millers. in Great Bri- tain wis hto buy Canadian wheat both because of its intrinsic worth and 'because it possesses qualities which make it specially suitable for blendin gheowtih-m v for blending with home-grown British wheat. "The anonymous rumors in cir- culation as to the placards said to have been put by in London by Messrs. Lyons stating that no Can- adian wheat was being used in their bread has been categorically denied by the company in a state- ment issued to the press. "The high commissioner will be grateful or the co-operation of the pres sof Canada in making known these facts as fully and as prompt- ly as possible." .reliable figures. ve Own Public tion Board of es C.

Finley, Large Supply on Hand London, Feb, 11.--Canadian farmers who are thinking of the carry-over of 240,000,000 bushels from the Canadian grain crop will be keenly concerned in the infor- mation that there are sufficient supplies of wheat from overseas at English ports today to meet the normal needs for the next two and half monthe, according to This condition is due to the ab- normally heavy Argentine supply. The market outlook however is very uncertain. the Argentine crop being rapidly absorbed. Moreover, the 1929 erops in Canada, Austra. lia, the United States and tho Ar- gentine were light than the aver- age. The scheme for a wheat imports board to be set up by the govern- ment, which would handle all in- coming grain, and, where the price was below the level of that ob- tained by the English farmer, would mix the cheap grain and sell it at a stabilized price, was put forward in parliament yesterday by F. 8.

F. Cannon, B.A,, sup- ervising principal of the Oshawa public schools, before. the Rotary Club at its regular luncheon meer ing held in Welsh's Parlors yes- terday. The speaker offered some nteresting comparisons to his 1earers, pointing out the great ad- ances which have been made ii ducating children of public school ze within the past twenty years. "Education is what you don't 'orget after you finish school," Principal Cannon suggested, quot- ing this definition given by the principal of . Queen's University. "We are never completely educated as life is in itself an education bringing new experiences each day." Training For Citizenship One purpose of public school education is training for citizen- ship, the speaker affirmed. Teach- ing children to obey the rule of safety first was also a factor which entered into their instruction out- side of the routine of book work. An endeavor was also made to in- culcate into the child good habits of life including punctuality and obedience.

Scarboro police were searching late last night for the robber, but although equipped with Mrs, Top- ping's description, they had found no trace of the man. The money which made the gunman's loot, had been brought home yesterday by Charles Topp-' ing, who is an insurance agent, and had spent the day in collecting premiums. He was absent from the houge when the robbery occurred and arrived back only a few min- utes after his wife, recovering from the fright of her ordeal, had rushed to a nearby store and tele- phoned to the police. Constables J. Brown and BE. McDaniels were immediately sent to the scene, and began their search. Police belleve that the thug must have been watching Topping's collections, as it was only about 20 minutes after he left the house that the robbery took place. -------------- THE SEVENTH OSHAWA WOLF CLUB PACK The Seventh Pack held its first mecting on Friday last, with Assist- ant Scout Master Graham E.

Elliott recom- mended to the Board of Education at its meeting last night that a number of additional fire extin- guishers be placed at the Collegi- ate and Vocational Institute. The matter was referred to businesy administrator C. H. R. Fuller, with instructions to report on insurance rates on the school. EXEMPTED FROM FEES L. Hancock asked the Board of Education alst night for a ruling as to whether or not he was liable for fees for his children attending the | Oshawa schools. Although he lives in the adjoining township, he pays over $350 in taxes yearly on an as- sessment of over $6,000 in the city.

Since all major printing orde let by tender to the lowest and Mr, Wigg receives an chance to bid, the Board took no ac- tion on the complaint. NEW MEMBERS RECEIVED equal | day morning at Calvary Church, Athol street west, the right hand of fellowship was extended to five new members. The acting pas- tor, Rev. Albert Hughes, B.A, was in charge of the service. Primitive Food A strange meal, cooked by hot stones and covered over with earth was caten in the fashion of the cave ages by the Canadian bowlers on a a letter regeived by R. N. Johns from his brother, T. P. Johns of this city, a member of the party, J. C. Fowlds, Oshawa, 1s also on the bowelrs' tour, The bowlers have been so well en- tertained in New Zealand that they are not in good condition to play, and conscquently the New Zealanders have been walking away with many of the contests, observes Mr. Johns sadly or otherwise. Some exerpts from his interesting' letter are given below : Whangarei, New Zealand, 7 Jan. 7th, 1930. On. Monday morning we left Auck- land by train for Whangarei, 131 miles north, zrriving about three o'- clock. We went to the Settlers' Ho- tel and at 430 went to the Town Hall, where a reception was held. Specches by the mayor, members of parliament, and other provincial of- ficials marked the occasion. The next day played a game with the local club and lost by 40 points. The New Zealanders are great players and have beautiful greens to play on, We Canadians are in no condition to play a hard game as we are being enter- tained every minute of the time, We play in Auckland again tomor- row in the morning. Another game in the afternoon, two more games the next day and a test' game the day after, They keep us busy alright. This morning we went for a drive away to the north, where we had lunch in a Maoris village, The meal was cooked by the Mooris in this manner: A hole was dug in the ground about a foot deep. In this hole wood was placed and on top of the wood were stones. When the stones get red hot they sprinkle wa- ter on them to make steam. A gloth Eaten in Primitive Way, Enjoyed by Canadian Bowlers in N. Z. is then put over the stones to keep the steam in and then the meat is placed on the cloth. The meat is then covered with another cloth and tour of New Zealand, it is related in} then earth is shovelled on top. This legal place, the charge being laid as | is left for two hours when the meat | is cooked. For plates we were given | rush baskets. We then went to the | oven and were given as much meat and potatoes as we could eat. No knives or forks were used to cat with, just eating in the primitive way using our fingers. An exhibition of tree climbing was then given by two Maoris, A large Kauri tree was chosen about ten feet in diameter and sixty fect to the first branches. The Maoris went up that trunk like cats. They have spikes in the toe ¢ach hand, With the aid of these hooks they run straight up the trce trunk without a stop. Auckland is a fine city of two hun- dred thousand. Flowers are bloom- ing everywhere. . There is a tree here which blooms about Christmas time, It has red flowers all over it and is a beautiful sight, They call it the Christmas tree but that is not it's rcal name, I forgot to tell you of our Christ- mas on the boat. Six o'clock in the morning we were wakehed by sing- ing of carols by groups of singers who went all over the ship. The dining room was beautifully decorat- ed with evergreens, Christmas wreaths and bells, with a large Chris- tmas Tree in the centre. In the ev- ening there was a 'masquerade ball and all in costume were asked to take dinner in costume. One couldn't help wondering where all the cos- tumes came from. Every nationality was represented, even Mother Hub- bard and her dog and Felix the Cat. We are certainly being kept busy, being entertained to the limit, T. P. Johns.

Mr. Alexander considered the sub- marine lengthily, arguing that it was not a defensive weapon but that it was, rather inhuman and offensive, he declared: "The powers here rep- resented have built 'or are building over 400 of these vessels designed for submarine warfare." Nearing his conclusion he said that afiling abolition of the craft the Bri- tish sought revival of an agreement "humanizing" them, signed in Wash- ington in 1922, but never fully rati- fied, The agreement which Soi did not accept regulated submarine warfare on merchant ships.

(35D) | appealed to the delegates of the five powers to accept: unanimously Great Ww dritain's proposal to abolish sub- mersibles as an act toward "inter- national undertanding, amity and permanent peace." United States Views Henry L. Stimson, United States secretary of state and head of the United States delegation, who called first upon the powers to abolish sub- marines and then showing the logis of his viewpoint declared, "It seems to the United States delegation that we have a common integest in the abolition of the sub- marine: first of all for the purpose of suppressing costly weapons which we can forego by agreement and by the abolition of which we reduce our requirements on other classes of ships and second, for the purpose of eliminating in the future the dreadful experiences of the past. "The United States delegation, therefore urges that they set aside purely technical considerations and give careful study to the possibilit of eliminating this whole problem." Secretary Stimson concluded with a denial that emotional grounds were the basis for hopes of abolition of submersibles, "We look upon it as a practical and nm sense e directly in line with the" limitation and re- duction of armaments which the peo- ples of the world expect us to attack resolutely and successfully."

The po- lice claimed sthere was a well tra- velled path to the barn and the al- cohol was lying in full view on the top of some wheat. The magistrate after considerable argument on the part of the defence counsel, D, A. J. Swanson, ruled that the defence had not proved that the liquor did not belong to the accused. He, therefore, fined her $100 and costs or thirty days. Mr.: Swanson. filed notice of ap- peal. 5 "What do you think of his nerve?" exclaimed the old man who was no- toriously tricky in. buSiness.

At the Washington conference, France, he said, in a spirit of con- ciliation accepted a ratio for capital ships "clearly inferior to her level which her position in the world would allowed her to reach on the express condition that she would keep her entire liberty as concerned defensive ships." Italian Leader Speaks The French minister was followed by Dino Grandi, Italian minister of foreign affairs, who announced at the outset of his address that Italy was willing to participate in a dis- cussion for: the abolition of sub- marines. He said that the Italian govern- ment felt that "in the present state of armaments the abolition of the submarine would favor a stronger navy to the disadvantage of the less powerful, and would unjustly deprive the latter of this weapon without due regard to their possibilities of de- fense. He said, however, that Italy did not object in principle to abolition, "if all the naval powers concurred: therein, and if such abolition is to expert a decisive influence in bring- ing about that drastic reduction of armaments which the whole world desires." + In other words, the Italian spokes- man made the abolition of submar- ines contingent on the simultaneous { very big nail squarely on the head reduction of the larger categories of warships against which Italy consi- ders the subniraine is the weaker power's only defense, w All Precautions Taken For Satety of Employees, Says Jury on Johnston Fatality What Others Say oe odo bo Bo Ad r b b e r lee r b rer PUBLIC NURSING SERVICES Toronto General Hospital, Jan, 29th, 1920. 3 fe lo To The Editor, Oshawa Daily Times, Oshawa, Ont. Dear Sir: While we are so joprneying away from home we are trying to kcep in touch with home affairs through the Oshawa Daily Times, and it is nice to get the full detail of all the little happenings in the home place, It was particularily atiracted when the nurse read to me the edi- torial in The Times Monday, Jan 27th on the Welfare Association. This article in my opinion hits a and it would be great news to know that that same nail would be driven safely hom» and clenched the other side, For three or four years past it awa Public Health Department General Motors Plant Sup- erior to Others in the Prov- ince in Safety Appliances, Says Provincial Factory Inspector FATALITY CAUSED BY POWER SHUT-OFF Operator of Giant Crane Un- able to Avert Accident When Safety Devices Fail in Some Unaccountable Manner "The said J. Mortimer Johnston died in an ambulance on the way to the hospital on Wednesday, Feb- 5. about 5.30 p.m. of injuries received at the stamping plant of General Motors of Canada Ltd. No blame is attached to anyone as has been impressed upon the Osh- all precautions had been taken for that there was great necessity In| ihe employees' safety. Oshawa for a type of nursing ser- vice such as only a district visitinig or limited duty service nursing as- sociation could carry out. No fur- there proof of this requirement is required than the fact that the Metropolitan Life tfuids not only to provide for its industrial policy practiable but financially advisable holders a very similar type ol service in Oshawa and has done £0 for years. Surely what is good for Metropolitan Life and {its policy holders would also be good for Oshawa and certain large propor- tion of its citizens. One erroneous idea that is too prevalent and seems to die hard though, perhaps it may partly ex- plain the lethargy in establishing guch a service, is that idea far too common that some people have that a Public Health nursing service is a kind of civic pauper nursing pro- vision. Whereas the truth of that idea is absolutely incorrect and the right idea would be that a Public Health nursing srevice is really a free up to date education service on all things relating to better protection and care of the hcalth and intended for all citizens what- ever their social or financial stand- ing who may be desirous of avail- ing themselves of such a service. I note that in Miss Harris's (sup- ervisor of Public Health Nursing in City of Oshawa) annual report for the year 1929 she draws atten- tion to necessity of some such nursing service as Victorian Order can supply in our city. Also in my own annual report of year 1928 I pointed out the advisability of the Victorian Order being located in Oshawa, and that there was work for at least two nurses of that or- der. Some little time before that I was able to secure a Victorian Order supervisor to give an address to Rotary Club on the Victorian Order and what it did. This meet- ing was reported In the Oshawa Daily Times. The suggestion there- fore is not new to our citizens but roquires further stimulation. There is at the present time no nursing service doing in Oshawa what the Victorian Order nurse does as a daily routine. Quite a large number of our citizens belong in a class which can be greatly benefited by such a type of service it available. I wish you the best of luck In the spreading aboard an accept- ance of your idea, For fear some persons might misconstrue a stato- ment in the fourth paragraph of your article I would like to point out that while it'is absolutely true the 'Public Health nursing service of our city is largely of a preven- ative and advisory service it is not true that it does not include home nursing. What is true, however, is that in every case requiring nursing service and which a Pub- lic Health Nurse has visited, the endeavor is made to indicate what kind of nursing service is best suited for that type of case and then to indicate where and how such nursing servica may be found and even find a place on duty that service if deemed necessary and then the important point comes that it is a matter of department pride that no necessary emergency service which could and should be rendered at time of nurse visit iis omitted. The nurse herself giving the service and of neccssity if no fitting nursing care can be other- wise provided for such patient then the Public Health nurse will carry on herself till necessity is no long- or present, The Victorian Order would be a great adjunct to the completion of the rounding out of the nursing welfare care available to our citi- zens. It is a very happy means of allowing the poor but proud an opportunity of paying for what they got--as well as providing limited time nursing duty per diam to those who can get along with just this type of service. A welfare counsellor is an ideal also greatly to be commended and would be the cap-sheaf on the pilled up grain whieh we are steadily gath- ering in, in Oshawa. Yours sincerely, T. W. G. McKay.

Thomas explained that he had just finished lowering a small bundle of sheet iron to the floor of the stamping plant When he was given an order to hoist the hook. He stated that he did so in the usual manner and that the chain ~ had been raised to the desired height the power went off but the hook did not stop in its ascent and the blocks went past the safety device.
