THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1930 . PACE THREE igl Wind Plunged the City Into Darkness . Retail Merchants Banquetted in Ea Hotel Last Night by Oshawa Chamber of Commerce Prowpeets of Holding a] : "Prosperity. Week" . This Season Are Discussed CO-OPERATION OF " RETAILERS PLANNED G. D. Conant Gives Encour- aging Address Pointing Out That Conditions Show Signs of Improve- ment § A puggestion that a prosperity ' week be observed in Oshawa this fall, in common with many other cities throughout the Dominion, was by retail merchants at a ban- quet fn the Genosha Hotel banquet hgt last night. J It: was /a very encouraging gath- ering and was held under the aus- pices of the Retail Merchants' As- sociation of the Chamber of Com- merce. G. D. Conant, president of the Chamber of Commerce, presided as chairman, the banquet starting shartly after six o'clock. Working on the theory that the present business depression is large ly psychological, an endeavour would be made to stimulate business dur- _ ing this period of time and to get the country to thinking and talking - prosperity instead of gloom and hard times. During the period of the c ; the co-operation of civie i ons and the local press would be t for. ' Oshawa On Upgrade A ¢heering message was brought '~to the merchants last night by G. D. Conant, who, in his opening re- marks, stated that as far as the ; Chamber of Commerce was concern- ~ed there was evidence that condl- ~ tions in Oshawa were beginning to improve. Only yesterday, he stated, negotiations had been completed which will bring a new industry to this gity from Toronto. re 'were other things pending, he sald, which would bring increased prosperity to the municipality. The 'harbor development meant a great deal to Oshawa, Mr. Conant stated, pointing out that it made the work of the Chamber of Com- merce much easier in attracting new industries. "No industrial city can reach the importance it should reach," he said, ~~ "unless it has facilities for transpor- tation by water as well as by rail." Bub Chamber of Commerce was y interested in the merchants, Ria esident stated, and wad pre 'pared to lend them 'every fssistance 'at all times. + "In the past," he said, "there may svob have been the co-operation among the merchants which there should have been. In the future we hope that this co-operation will be forthcoming." « T. L. Wilson, advertising manager of The Oshawa Daily Times, assured 'the merchants that The Times would give them the best possible as sistance in making any scheme, which might be adopted, a genuine success. D, F. Johnston, proprietor of John- ston's Clothing Store, expressed him- self rtily in favor with a Pros perity Week for Oshawa. "Let us put it across," he urged. Conviction that much could be achieved if the merchants co-opera- ted with each other, was voiced by W. M. Gilbert, of the Oshawa Lum- ber Co. He also was heartily in favor of the idea. < J. Norval Willson, president of the rio Motor Sales, considered that was very. feasible and that endorsed by every mer- chant. 'A favorable opinion was also expressed by George C. Allchin, pres jdent of the George C. Allchin Co. Ltd. The following committees were ap- pointed 1a last night to discuss the General Committee--~John Burns, chairman; W. A. Dewland, D. F.

WANT BUFFALO TO BE KILLED TO GIVE MEAT FOR NE Novel Suggestion Made At Meeting of Unemployed Today bt The interesting suggestion that one of the buffaloes at Lakeview Park be killed and distributed to pro- vide thanksgiving dinners for the needy tamilics of the city was put forward by Eddie McDonald, spokes- man of thé unemployed of the city, at a meeting held this forenoon in Memorial Park. This meeting was not as largely attended as previous meetings have been, but a further meeting is being held this afternoon, when a parade with a definite pur- pose will be held. The purpose of the parade, according to the spokes- man will be to take the unemployed workers to the streets on which the residents have refused to sign peti- tions for paving work, and to appeal to them to place their signatures on the petitions, in order to help relieve the unemployment situation. It is understood that the residents of Roy- al street and of William street, be- tween Ritson Road and Oshawa Boulevard, have refused to sign these petitions, 'although the city engineer had his equipment on the latter street ready to start work with a gang of twenty men on Monday morning. These men, however, are to be pro- vided with other types of work by the city engineer, in order to help the situation, The meeting was an orderly 'one, with the speaker heartily commend- ing the effort of 'the Chamber of Commerce and The Oshawa Times to find casual work for the unem- ployed, and tManking the Oshawa Associated Welfare Societies for the interest whic is being taken in the problem of _of unemployment relief BALLOONISTS ARE RETRACING STEPS Recall Experiences of Twen- ty Years Ago When They Set Record Montreal. -- Experiences and hardships of two decades ago are being lived over again in the mem- ories of two men, winners of the James Gordon Bennett balldon tro- phy twenty vears ago. They are retracing their steps to a spot, far in Northern Quebec. where their balloon landed, not 'only winning the trophy but also established a record which has stood to the pre- sent day. The balloonists are Augustus Post and Alan R. Hawley of New York. From Chicoutimi they will go to St. Ambroise, then drive up, the Shipshaw valley. to the village of Riviere a I'0Ours, and will trav- el on to Lake Tchitagama, and again will travel up the Peribonka River to the spot north of Lac de Banc au Sable where their balloon landed after its opic flight of 1,- 173 miles from St. Louis in 46 hours. Post and Hawley were lost In the wilderness after theif balloon descended, when they came upon a trapper's camp on the Peribonka River. While there théy were found, hungry and desolate, by Joseph Simard and Joseph Pad- nault, two trappers, who were on. a hunting expedition and who, af- ter feeding the strangers, cached their equipment and brought the balloonists out to the elvilization of Chicoutimi. Simard and Ped- nault will guide them back to their landing place. Post and Hawley are returning to the scene of thew adventures to erect a bronze plaque, commemor- ating their journey and the land- ing of the halloon; at the spot on which they landed to win the covet- ed Gordon Bennett trophy. The flight which Post and Haw- ley then made still holds the Ameri- | can record for balloon journeys, they stated whilé in Montreal, and is still a world's record for balloon trips made in competitions. After making their flight fn 46 hours, the balloonists were ten days in get ting out of the push, and being un- accustomed to the hardships of travelling and finding their food in (WLAUGHLIN-BUICK 'LIKED IN MEXICO So States Canadian Trade Commissioner on Busi- ness Here "The Canadian McLaughlin- Buick car has won for itself a won- derful reputation in Mexico and in Central America," C, Noel Wilde, Canadian Government Trade Com- missioner to Mexico and Central America, confided to The Times in an interview yesterday. Mr. Wilde came to the city yésterday to dis- cuss with local industries the pos- ibilitles of the xport market offered by Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica and as Oshawa is noted for the production of automobiles the con- versation naturally seemed to swing to motor cars and roads. The reason for the popularity of the MeLaughlin-Buick is its ability to "stand up" to the rough roads found In many parts of Mexico and the Central American republics, Mr, Wilde stated, Whereas many oth- ér cars soon became worn out, the McLaughlin - Buick, like John Brown's soul 'goes marching on" over ruts and bumps, Mr. Wilde, through the courtesy | of Col, BR J. McCormick, secretary made the offices of the Chamber of Commerce his headquarters, | esterday, and was able to call on {a number of firms. | Mr. Wilde has lived in Mexico for seven years as Trade Commis- ! sioner and. visits Central America annually, having just returned from a visit to the latter in the in- terests of Canadian Trade. He stated that in all parts he found that there was a keen: interest in Canadian' products, and a disposi- tion to increase the trade with Canada where possible. Among other products, he found there was a market for Canadian cement, flour, textiles, lumber, paper, food- stuffs, malt, tools, machinery, hard- ware, ete, With regard to Mexico, Mr. Wilde stated that this country is also passing through a difficult period, which has been accentuated recently by the low price of silver. At the same time, there is a very large market awaiting Canadian ex- porters who are prepared to take an interest. in it, In the past ten years, the exports from Canada to Mexico have increased about six times, but this is only a beginning and the trade should be capable of indefinite expansion. REGINA MAN 1S APPOINTED SALES GAR I§ VERY WELL| Make it a Real So far, the citizens of Oshawa have either falled to realize the great necessity of providing work for the unemployed, or have not had time to look around for odd jobs which they can hand out to men in meed of work. There is \ week-end ahead, however, that should give every g¢itizen ample op~ portunity to investigate the possi- bilities of giving a man a job. The providing of casual work for even a small number of the hundreds who are unemployed would be a real contribution to the effort which the Chamber of Commerce, in conjunction with The Times, is making to relieve the unemploy- ment situation, not by giving char ity, but by providing as much work MAKE IT A REAL THANKSGIVING Monday, November 10, will be set aside by proclamation from the seat of government as a day for general rejoicing and Thanksgiving.

OSHAWA RETURNS T0 STANDARD TIME EARLY TOMORROW Citizens will "Enjoy an Ex- tra Hour's Sleep Tonight Oshawa lke many other towns and cities in the province will re- turn to Standard Time on Sunday morning. At 2 aay. the official time for the return of the old or- Ae Daylight Sav'g will official- part for a er year, However, the majority of people will not stay up until such an early hour on Sunday morning to turn back 'the clock. In many cases the clock will be turned back as part of the ritual of putting out the milk bottle, There will be others who will forget their duty to the clock™and turn up for church to- morrow at ten o'clock, The main feature of the change in time will be the extra hour of reposa that the change entails. But this ex- tra hour is only a return of the hour that was stolen in the spring when Daylight Saving came into effect. The return of Standard Time of- fielally ushers in the autumn sea- son with the gradual shortening of the days and the need of a fire in the furnace. The passing of Day- light Saving almost precludes the playing of games after the supper hour and tends to the development of a greater family spirit through the associations of the long evening at home. Be sure and turn back your clock before Sunday arrives, TALK GOOD TIMES Some very timely advice was given the. Progress Club of Toronto, at a Luncheon meeting in the Royal York Hotel in that city yesterday when Robert M. McIntyre. of Oshawa, Sales Promotion Manager of the General Motors of Canada gave a "drive the blues away" address. "To talk good times, to wipe away the tone of "Blues" is what is necessary if prosperity is to come back," he said.

Today [Main Hydro Feed Line Became Entangled in Tree Limbs Thus Causing Power Interruption. Section of City E East of Pros- pect Street Was Without Hydro Service Until This Morning--Other Sections in" Darkness for Two Hours INTERRUPTION COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED C. T. Bornes. Says City Council Was Slow in Tak- ing Action to- Cut Tree Limbs -- Little Damage Was Done The city was early today swept by a wind storm of almost tornadic pro- portions, which drove a cloud of dlist and leaves before it, and carried away the wires of the Public Utilities Commission on Athol street, plung- ing, the city into darkness for several hours. Some parts of the United States are subject to cyclones and tornados at this season of the year, but in Canada such atmospheric con- ditions are more rare, Last night the wind sprang up in a very few minutes and aroused many from a sound sleep with the severity of the gusts, Shortly after midnight the main feed line of the Hydro Power limes became entangled in the trees on Athol street, East, and the line went out in a blaze of light. It was almost two hours before the damage could be repaired to allow lights in the western and central sections of the city. The power remained off, how- ever, in the section of the city east of Prospect street, for the remainder of the night. Many housewives were again inconvenienced at the break- fast hour this morning when the power again went off for an addi- tional half hour. Officials of the Commission explained that this break was necessary to tie in the entire system after all repairs had been made. C. T. Barnes, superintendent of the Hydro and gas division of the Public Utilities Commission explained to The Times that he had written to the City Council some six weeks ago, re- questing that the commission be giv- en permission to do some necessary pruning of trees on city stréets on which the wires of the commission were. The request of the commis~ sion was not dealt with until the last meeting of the council on Mone day evening last, and the authoriza~ tion of the council for the work was not received by Mr. Barnes until yesterday, Mr, Barnes asserted that if the permission had been received before there would have been in all probability no break in power service last night, The offending limbs would have been removed and the danger of a break done away with it, he thought, The fire department received a call shortly after the power interrup- tion at midnight, and were able to give material assistance in the clear- ing of the wireg with the special equipment that is at their disposal. As far as is known there was no other damage to property in the city and surrounding districts, although the roads were strewn with dead branches in many places. A new variety of banana, which is immune from disease, has been de- veloped in Trinidad.
