THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1930 PAGE THREE iremen Battle Two Serious Blazes in Sub-Zero Weather alety Pin ls Removed and Brooklin Baby Home Again, No Operation Neccssary Bey Mila Mowiuay Alls Own Recovery by Vomit- ing Dangerous Open Safety Pin Part Way Up! His Throat 7 22 IS SUFFERING NO ILL EFFECTS Ingenious Instrument, the Asoephaguscope, Com- pletes Removal of the Pin, and Milton Is Now| Playing at Home Again Baby Milton Mowbray of Brookln, who last week swallowed an' open safety' pin, causing much consterna- tion among memoers of his family and friends, was today at home, the pin 'removed, and the anxiety of his friends allayed. Milton may once more play to his heart's content, without the feehng of that annoy- ing sharp disturbance somewhere in the vicinity of his tummy. The pin was removed Saturday, af- ter the baby had vomited it about half way up his throat. An ingenious instrument known in medical terms as the asoephaguscope, performed hte deed. It is comprised of a tube with a small electric light at one end, and a hollow down which a pair of tiny pincers can be run, After locat- ing the pin by means of this light, it 'was a simple matter to seize it with the pincers and lift it out. The baby swallowed the pin on Thursday last, while playing on the floor of his home. He was immediate- ly rushed to the Oshawa General Hospital by Dr. James Moore, th family physician, and.then taken t the Hospital for Sick Children in To- ronto. There he was placed under x- ray examination, and it was seen that the pin worked its way down the throat, and gullet into the stoni- ach, Hopes were expressed that the pin would work its way out without the necessity of an operation, and this proved correct .on Saturday, when the baby coughed up the pm and it was removed. Milton is a son of Ralph E. Mow- bray of Brooklin. G:M.AG.

Jordan had been arrested when caught with two bottles of home brew in his pocket, a few weeks ago and had been charged as above. At the trial his counsel, A. C. Hall, had, between the Liquor Control Act and the Dominion Excise Act, endcavour- ed to show that the accused had a right to. transport the liquor from one residence to another as Jordan claimed he was. The accused had been boarding at one residence mn Oshawa and on the night in ques- tion had left this residence with the intention of spending the might at a shack he owned in another part of the city. While journeying from one place to the other he had been arrested. The Magistrate; ruled 'that under the Dominion Act a man was allow= ed to brew beer for his own and his family's use in their residence and in this case the man was taking it from one legal residence to another, He impressed upon the court, how- do this, was not allowed to give the home brew to any but members of his own family, He then dismissed the charge agamst Jordan, TEA AND CONGERT AT CHRIST CHURCH A.Y.P.A.

CHURCH SERVICES MARKED 18th YEAR IN PRESENT BUILDING . W. Harold Avison of Toronto, Delivered In- spiring Messages Commemorating the eighteenth anniversary of hing Street United Church and the seventy-third of the congregation yesterday, large audi- ences listened to inspiring addres- ses both morning and evening, de- livered by Rev. W. Harold Avison, of High Park United Church, Tor- onto, a former student and member of old Medcalfe Street Church, and whose father was pastor there in the early days. Taking a topic most suitable to the occasion, "First Things First,' the reverend gentleman made a deep impression on his large gath- ering last evening and eloquently urged upon all, individuals and church and home to put first things first. Quoting from the speech of Sir Ramsay MacDonald recently in Washington and Ottawa, he showed how this noted man put first things first in placing the higher things of life as the most important, and giv- ing incidents from the lives of oth- er great leaders whom he termed ving exponents of the great prin- ciple of his text that he brought home the fact that our lives should not be trifled away but that we should make the most of the wond- erful opportunities that are ours today. Impressing upon the young peo- ple theg reat value of selecting pro- per reading and what it means in character building and with the large number of books today it was imperative to make decisions as all couldn't be read. Place 'First Things First," and 'Seek Ye Firs, the Kingdom of God," he showed from the lives of great statesmen, missionaries and professional men that results were always right when this principle was followed. Special music was rendered by the choir with many pleasing solos, duets, guartettes and anthems, (laims Canada Has Big Future Baldwin Predicts This Be Great Manufactur- ing Country (By Canadian Pron Leased Wire) London, Feb, 17.--"I belicve Can- ada before many years will be the first of the dominions to evolve in- to a great manufacturing country," declared Right Hon, Stanley Bald win, ex-premier and chief of the Comservative opposition, at his final speech in Belfast Saturday. "The prospects for Canada's future are boundless," said Mr, Baldwin, "and you in this great Ulster have help- ed largely in the development of Canada into thie mighty dominion she is today." "The most helpful approach to bringing closer the ties between the dominions and ourselves," continued Mr. Baldwin, "is to be found m n- dustry. Free trade with the Empire is truly a «great ideal, but freer trade within the empire is practical, hard- headed politics. While we do hot know how far we may be able to go at the start, I believe we could be of great assistance to the Dom- inions in the devclopment of their industry and such assistance could be given in the way of developing our own industries, This is the only way I can sce whereby you may work to- ward the conception of the empire as a unit. "Until you have that idea well in mind," said the Conservative leader, "You cannot begin to approach the wider subject wherein so much inter. est has been shown of late, namely, the possibility of having your unit nrotected against the world, with free trade inside its boundaries ; as there is free trade within the Uni. ted States. «; wc HEAVY LOSSES BY ELEVATOR FIRM Creditors Will Pre Probably Lose Two Million Dollars (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Winnipeg, Feb. 17.--In an of- dal statement issued 'Baturdav, ames R.

STANDARD MINING EXCHANGE Toronto, Feb. 17.--Today's early session on the mining market was particularly listless ag far as most {ssues were concerned, but price ac- tion was rather mixed; the higher priced stocks sustaining losses while the lower-priced stocks dis- nlayed an underlying strength.

SPIRING MESSAGE Large Congregation Attend Both Morning and Eve- ning Services An inspiring message of hope and courage was voiced by Rev. Mr. Vesey, of Parkdale Presbyterian Church, Toronto, in his sermon presented at the morning service of Knox Presbyterian Church yester- day, Sunday was the anniversary of the church and large congrega- tions were present bofh morning and evening, Rev, Mr. Vesey being speaker for the day. 1e pastor quote his text from the he Testament passage where Moges was urged by God to be 'strong and of good cheer." Moses in turn passed this message on to his people shortly before his disap- pearance from their midst. Joshua repeated this stirring ap- peal, Rev, Mr, Vesey stated, when the Israelites were hard pressed by geven hostile kings. "Coming down to New Testa- ment times," he continued, 'wu tind Jesus addressing his followers with words which carry the same message. Paul also urged the early Christian church, in its struggles, | to be strong and of good cheer." The speaker wondered whether in this modern day we were not paying too much attention to the worship of material things, Slaves of Fashion "Many 'women are the slaves of fashion," he claimed, /'the love of ~ain and the lust for strong drink have been the causes of downfall for many men." The pastor told of a recent ex- perience he had while sitting on the bench of a Toronto police court with a friend who was magistrate. "Good looking and evil looking people were tried in that court," Ite stated, "but almost all owed their difficulties to liquor and the pressing experience.' As a pastor who believed strong- ly in practical work as well as the- ory, Rev. Mr. Vesey wished to know what good could the message of strength and cheer be to those who were hard pressed, either by physical handicaps, by bitter minds, unfortunate marriages or financial difficulties. Its repitition to those in unhappy circumstances could be of nog reat good, he opined, unless there was sympathy, an attempt at understanding and a desire to help, Strength From Faith There were hundreds of in stances, the speaker declared, where men and women had been able to | conquer disaster in their lives be- cause of the fact that they had received inspiration from commun- fon with God. Their faith had been a source of strength and good cheer and they had been able to live use- ful lives because of their spiritual strength, Those who pald too much atten- tion to material things lost the ab- {ding confidence and courage which came through the spiritual life, the | Christ there came a power which enabled men and women to conquer great obstacles and #11ed thelr lives full of happiness. Rev. Mr. Vesey also preached a splendid sermon at the evening ser- vice. The music by the choir was much enjoyed and added greatly to the services. Shaw. 76 75 S.

She was a very active lady for her age and up until just a few days ago she has been a regular at- tendant at the Sunday morning ser- vice of Simcoe street United church, of which she has been a member for the past 20 years. Her death was caused from illness from a cold which not confined to her bed permanent- ly until last Saturday. During her illness. Mrs.. Pike, was in the hand of kind neighbors, having no in- mediate relatives to care for her. Those relatives: who are living are a nephew, Frank Briggs, of Myrtle, Ontario, Mrs. (Dr.) Johnson a neice, of Chicago, Mrs. Roll, of Evingston, IIL, Mrs, Forsyth a niece of o- ornto, It is doubtful wheth- er any of these will be able to at- tend the funeral which is to be on Wednesday, at 2.30, from Luke Bur- ial. Parlours and interment to be made at the Union cemetery, Mrs. Pike's death will come as a shock to many for despite her many years no one suspected but that she would live for sometime yet, being in perfect health, In October she moved#fo her new home on Bond street that was constructed through the kindness of General Motors, when they found it necessary to use the site of her former home on the same street for a factory location.

The attic was finished but was not being occupied, and the upstairs damage consisted of the flooring and roof, which were badly burned. The cause of the fire has not been determined, but it is stated to be ully covered by insurance. The Clark family was absent from the city at the time of the fire. While fighting this fire, the fire men were seriously hampered by hose freezing in the sub-zero weather, and by the pump on the fire engine freezing when leit standing for just a few minutes after the fire had been practically extinguished.

Here a small frame outbuilding hous- ing' the plant's experimental furnace, was blazing. The fire had received such a start hefore being noticed that the building was destroyed. The experimental oven was not seriously damaged, however, Except for the breaking of several panes of glass by the heat, the main portion of the Feldspar was not damaged. The firemen were again hampered by freezing hose in com- batting this blaze. The cause of the fire is unknown.
