Curran Tells of Bound- less Possibilities in Great North Country--Rich De- T ] IN NORTHERN WOODS Well Known Publisher A vocates Lake Superior uy an an ----- " & { & Bringing a message of optimism - from Northern Ontario, and point- - ing tb the great development which lay ahead of that part of the pro- -. vince, J. W, Curran, editor and publisher of the Sault St. Marie Star, delivered an interesting, en- lightening and entertaining address to the Oshawa Rotary Club at its weekly luncheon on Monday, Mr. Cu is widely known throughout ie re of Canada as an en- t! th for the north country, and as. author of innumerable wolf stories and other strange stories of nature as it is found there, and in the gourse of his remarks he gave details of some humorous personal experiences, as well as stories of others who had had strange adven- tures north of the Soo, though he said he made no pretence of be- ing an orator, Mr. Curran delighted his hearers with his breezy mes- sage and his manner of delivering it. Incidentally, he made an appeal for support for the Lake Superior 2 shore route for the Trans-Canada highway, and predicted that, if the highway were built along that route, it would become the finest scenic route in the world. Mr, Curran was introduced by A. R. Alloway, managing director of The Oshawa Daily Times, who re- - ferred to the speaker from the north as a good newspaperman, a good Rotarian, a public-spirited cit- izen devoted te promoting the wel- fare of the Algoma distrct, and an Indian chief. j Old Ontario's Backyard In opening his address, Mr. Cur- ran referred to Northern Ontario as the backyard of old Ontario, which the people in the north were developing. Old Ontédrio, he said, r id 90 cents out of every dol- lar earned in Algoma, so that the people in Old Ontario have every reason to be virtually interested in the north, ing for a moment, Mr. Curran said a newspaper editor was one of the most important men in . any. community, and that he could ; be of tremendous help to the community if the people would uti- lize his services." "Newspapers can do more for a community," he said, "than any other agency, if they are only given the opportun- v.r The Highway Route Speaking of the proposed Trans- Canada highway, the speaker said two routes were suggested. The first was from North Bay, through Cochrane and Hearst, running through the clay belt, The second was that from Sault Ste. Marie along the Lake Superior shore, which was the finest scenic high- . way on earth. "It woulld be a terrific tragedy," said Mr, Curran, "If the Trans-Canada highway went the other way. This year, 20,000 "United States cars entered Canada at Sault Ste. Marie, while flve years ago there were only 100. More cars entered the Soo than at any place outside of Windsor. The road is being built to attract Unit- ed States tourists to Canada, and there is a big financial profit to Can ada in that trade. If the highway tant BEE EL ET < o- TELLS OF ADVENTURES| i goes by any other route, the tour- ists simply will not come, but will continue to go by way of Wisconsin and Minnesota, The Lake Superior shore route is the most alluring tourist route on the continent, and | ¢ it seres eighty per cent. of the population of Northern Ontario. The other route is flat and uninter- sting, and has no attractions at Mentioning his reputation as a teller of wolf stories, Mr. Curran said he had found from experience that the wolf stories of the school- books were all wrong, and gave an mtirely wrong impression of the snimal, and he went on to recount some of his personal experiences with wolves to show how harmless tert s no uh plac an X "There is no such place as New 0 sald Mr. Curran, "That 1s sim a political name used by poli ns for spellbinding.

SPENCER IS COMMENDED FOR ACT OF BRAVERY City Police Commission Re- fers to Action in Tank Car Rescue The Police Commission at its regular meeting yesterday afternoon went on record as appreciating the bravery of Constable Spencer on the occasion on which at the risk of his own life he effected the rescue of Orvil Board from a tank car at the Shell Service Station. Chief of Police Friend told the commission that Constable Spencer, although al- most overcome by the fumes of gaso- line, insisted that Board be taken from the car before he himself was pulled out by members of the Fire Department. = oh The commission instructed Chief of Police Friend to bring in a report at the next meeting of the commis- siin, on the advisability of establish- ing some tangible form of merit sys- tem of which police officers who dis- tinguished themselves in the. course of their duties might be rewarded, Considerable discussion took place of the system of merit marks and other forms of reward which are in force in other cities in the province. Accounts to the amount of $5,600.86 were passed by the commission. The accounts pani included four pay lists for the City Police Force. A comhunication was received from Dr, T. W. G. McKay asking for the placing of signs and en- forcement of a no parking area on the cast side Victoria street, beside his residence, - The commission was unanimously in favor of the sanc-' tioning of the enforcement of the de sired no parking area. It was point- ed out that on some evenings cars had been parked on both sides of the street, and that when this was the case two cars could not pass on Victoria street. The Red Indian Service Station om King street west asked the commis- sion for the establishment of a no parking area on the south side of King Street immediately west of their property. The applicants stat- ed that at times cars were parked on the boulevard and at the curb in front of the property west of them so that cars leaving the station were unable to see traffic approach- ing from the west until almost on the highway, creating a grave traf- c he ct ission referred the matter to the Chief of Police for vestigation.

Pike, who is a nattily- dessed an of smart appearance drives a large and is well known in Markham fad district. He was charged with shooting with intent and theft following a raid on the hen house on. the farm of Sinclair Robertson at Port Perry, on Septem- ber 19, in which the presence of mind of Mr. Robertson played a leading part in the early arrest of the man by Traffic Officer Hinchcliffe. When he appeared yesterday, re- presented by Mr, Roebuck of Tor- onto, Pike elected to be tried by a judge and jury and a preliminary hearing was then held in which evid- ence for the crown was given and at the conclusion of this evidence the Magistrate committed him for trial at the next court of competent juris- diction, It will be recalled that on the night of September 19, Sinclair Robertson was aroused from his sleep to find that there was someone in his chick- en house. He immediately lert the house to investigate but was seen by the marauder who in making his es- cape fired at the farmer and jumped into has car with a bag of chick- ens and made his getaway, but not "before Mr. Robertson had taken note of the number of the car.

(76b) Freshies of General Motors Institute of Technology Are Initiated Yesterday Enjoyable Banquet in Welsh's Parlors Last Night Followed Initiation Cere- mony~--Ten Students Reg- istered in Class Yesterday was a big day in the "as of at least tem young Cana- dian citizens. Jt was Ini uation Day, Opening Day, Fresh-, men's Day, and, in all, a very im- portant occasion to the ten young men of this district, who have de- cided to become students of the General Motors Institute of Tech- nology, of Flint, Michiggn,. co-oper- ating with the General Motors of Canada, Limited. The fun got under way early yes- terday afternoon when the all-pow- erful ""'Sophs," dressed in their Sun- day best, proceeded' to teach their social inferiors, the Freshmen, the correct attitude of respect and obe- dience. To say that these General Motors College students staged a very humorous scene would be puttng it very, very mild. Their display created more than a little interest wherever they congregated for a few moments and the '"Wasgh- er Women's Saturday Morning Act" which was executed in front of Re- gent Theatre proved, a big crowd attraction. The "Freshies," garbed in the latest of "Milady's Apparel" were forced to get down on their hands and knees and wash the Re- gent's sidewalk. The dignified "sophs" stood by and kept the boys ambitious by the threat and ex- pert manipulation of a paddle, The "sophs'" acted as if they had had a previous acquaintance with these paddles, After this a peanut race was held and the winner had to submit tp the delightful experience of losing his perfectly good mous- tache. The "sophs" word is law. After this the Freshmen gave their "friends" a free ride through the city. Several Freshies were given jobs as newsboys. Banquet at Welsh's Parlours. After the "Sophs" had tired of this form of amusement the boys disbanded to reunite a short while after at Welsh's Parlours for the purpose of renewing the entertain- ment in a less humorous but equal ly enjoyable occupation, that of be- ing a participant in the annual Freshman's Dinner, Youth, good-fellowship, and a fun-loving spirit all created a fra- ternal atmosphere which prevailed during the entire program. Dur. ing the time the meal was served, the boys were provided with some excellent entertainment in solos from Mr. Reg. Terrett and Mr, A. T. Mills, Mr. M, Golburn acting as pianist, The Sophs and the Fresh- men also contributed to the enter- tainment with songs and yells and everyone joined in the community singing. Besides all members of the school who were available, including the two. Grads., C. Carscallen and H. Switzer, several guests, all mem- bers of the General Motors, were present. . H. W. Nicoll, Director of Person nel, acted as Chairman of the even- ing. He gave a short but very in- structive address to the boys, in which he impressed upon the boys the need of living up to the excel- lent example set by other Cana. dians, WANTED TO RENT WITH OP- tion to buy, small farm about 50 acres.

Marie, who is given credit for manufacturing the fa- mous wolf stories coming out of the~Algoma country, told a good story while ad- dressing the Oshawa Rotary Club yesterday. On one oc- casion, he said, a deer wan- dered into a paper mill up in that section of Ontario, and was caught between the roll- ers and crushed to death, The city editor of the Sault Ste. Marie Star immediately got in touch with the Toronto Globe to find out if that newspaper wanted a story on the incident. Back came the reply, "The Globe can stand for pretty nearly anything, but we can't stand for that." And yet according to Mr, Curran, the story. was per- fectly true, "In fact," said Mr, Curran, "We have never published an inaccurate or untrue wolf story." Lieut.-Col, Frank Chappell, Fac- tory Manager of G.M.C, in Oshawa, gave the Welcome Address to the boys. His remarks were brief and to the point, He extended a very hearty welcome to the boys and he pointed out that no matter what phase of life they choose, even if they break away from the course, it is necessary to create a background and this, he sald, was what they would obtain at the GM LT, He urged the boys to strive to attain the three "G's," Grit, Grace and Gumption, These three qualities, sald the speaker, would see a man through life, Lieut,-Col, R. E. Smythe, Direct- or of Technical Service Council was chief speaker of the evening. He gave the boys a talk, in which he expressed the advantages of the training which they were about to start and pointed out the many ben- efits which would be derived from the course, He gave the boys sev- eral examples of the adyantagrs of the course and pointed out that they would be judged by the results shown during the entire four years, He stated five things which a young man should do; To look over the ground and select the industry in which he is interested, look your- self over to see which phase of the industry you prefer, take the best job to be found, which complies with the conditions you desire, do anything you are asked to do and do it better than the average and, finally, to let the future take care of itself. Mr. Smythe then pointed out & few of the most important benefits to be derived from the study and a few of the pitfalls to be avoided, : The banquet was brought to a close with loud cheers from the students as a showing of their ap- preciation. The "Sophs" and the Freshmen wished each other good- bye and success, all rivalry forgot- ten and then the newcomers left to catch their traig for Flint, Michi. gan, where they will start the first phase of their course, The ten Freshmen, who left for Flint, were: Chas.

C. Terwitlegar, 83-year-old owns er of the house and her aged come panion, Miss Victoria Hugedowny who were asleep in the house. This morning when a representa tive of The Times visited the scend of the fire, the shed at the back of the house was a total wreck, only charred beams remaining. The roof of the house is almost com« pletely burned off, and much of the upper floor a mass of wreek« age. The lower floor is 'badly damaged by water so that the house will have to be almost wholly refinished inside and out in order to be habitable, The fire which apparently starte ed in the frame shed at the back of the house had gained considers able headway when it was discove ered by Mr, Willson, who lives nex door. He informed The Times this morning that he was awakened by the barking of his dog. He arose and saw the Terwillegar home wag burning, Rushing over he attempts ed to break in the back door besidd the shed. He was driven back by the extreme heat however, and weny to the front door which he broke in, found the two old ladies, just flforts to get ing stairs. fiss Beatrice Willson, also 'off Harmony, who with some othes girls happened to be passing by the house at the time, bravely e tered the building and lent her a sistance in rescuing the occupantsy It was with the greatest difficule ty that the ladies were taken from the house, as they were dazed with sleep and had to be carried out of their home. By this time the whole roof and part of the upper floor of the house, which had caught fire through the breaking of several back windows, was in flames. The Fire Department from Oshe awa answered the urgent call for aid and made a fast run to the scene of the fire, Because there are no fire hydrants nearer than Wilson Road, some eleven hundred feet away at the city limits, hose was laid apd with the aid ofethe pumper the fire was under control within an hour, after a courageous fight, A coincidence with regard to thd fire last night is the fact that two. weeks ago to the day the Oshawa Fire Department was called to exe tinguish a fire in the shed at the Terwillegar home.
