THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1930 PAGE THREE Oshawa Unemployed Make Recommendations to City President of Navy League of | Canada Urges Establishment Navy League Teaches Boys to be Manly, Recognize Cadets Enrolled in Canada A move to establish a sea cadet corps in Oshawa was given both direction and impetus yseterday, when Mr. Sam Harris, of Toronto. president of the Navy League of Canada, and Col. Cecil C. Williams, general manager of the league, ad- dressed the Kiwanis Club at its noon luncheon. Mr. Harris and Col. Williams urged that the Kiwanis Club sponsor such a corps and they received a prom- ise that a committee would be ap- pointed to go into the matter at the earliest possibility. A fact which is known but to a few, was brought to light by Mr. Harris when he stated that several years ago $900 had been raised in this city for the pur- pose of establishing such a corps. Because of the actions of certain corrupt officials, who fortunate- ly were ousted from the League some years ago, its work was dis- credited in the eyes of local eiti- zens and as a result the corps was never formed. But as Mr. Harris pointed out, the Navy League be- lleves that it is obligated to Osh- awa and is willing to turn over this sum of $900 at any time a be ------ TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY TWO LARGE ROOMS TO RENT.

Vm Berry will direct sales promotion wo: in the eight General Motors zones Dominion, sea cadet corps could be formed. The money could be used in pro- viding uniforms and equipmens and the Kiwanis Club would only be required to supervise the work. Introduced by Rev. C. E. Cragg, pastor of King Street United Church, Mr. Harris who is well known besides his Nayy League connection as the president of the Canadian National Exhibition and as former head of the Cana- dian Manufacturers' Association, showed himself to be a witty, but withal an earnest speaker. His appeal for the Navy League found a ready response in the minds of | his hearers. The Navy League was ~ first formed in 1917, when' Canada, with the rest of the Empire and the Allies, was fighting desper- ately for theccause of freedom, President Hafris stated. The pur- pose of the League he said was mainly to counteract harmful propoganda, originating from a large American publisher, The early. trials and struggles were briefly' described by Mr. Harris who told of how insincere and fraudulent officials brought discredit to the Navy League and hampered its, work, The need however of the wives and orphans of men who had been lost at sea during the Great War, persuaded himself with others to continue the League and through its ef- forts 56 women and 150 children were cared for from the close of the war until last year when the Card of Thanks Geo. P. Thomas of the Madison Apts., wishes to thank his many friends, officials and employees of the Oshawa Rly., for the kina expressions of sympathy and heau- tiful floral tributes, extended to him in his recent sad bereavement.

RIORDAN Local Youth Killed in Fall From Grand Stand, Jury Decides A coroner's jury empanelled by Dr, F, J. Rundle, 'last night found that Thomas Riordan, 16 year old son of My. and Mrs. T. Riordan, of William street east, came to his death in the Oshawa General Hos- pital as the result of injuries he re- ceived when he fell almost twenty feet from the north end of the Grand Stand at Alexandra Park on September 10th. The jury attached no blame to anyone for the acci- dent. The jury also made the rec- ommendation that the proper au- thorities enclose (the north and south ends of the Grand Stand to a sufficient. height to prevent any recurrence of such an accident. The evidence, presented to the jury last night, showed that young Riordan, in company with several other boys, had climbed up on the girders of the Grand Stand the bet- ter to see the judging of cattle which was going en some distance away. William Stevens, one of the constables in charge of the stand, stated that he first saw the boys when they were on the girders and at once wenf up and warned them to get down. The other boys got down he said, "wut Riordan slid around the post at the end of the stand and started to slide down, disappearing from view, Chief of Police Friend told the jury that when he arrived at the north end of the stand he found Riordan lying on the ground, The boy, he said, was unable to raise his arms or legs, and he concluded that he had sustained injuries to his back or neck. Dr. A. E. Stewart, who attended the boy in the hospital, stated that he had sustained a fracture of a vertibra of the meck which could have been sustained in his fall. Riordan died the next day, Septem- ber 11th in . the hospital, Doctor Stewart said. The jury was composed of James Davidson, Charles Blow, Samuel Westlake, A. E. Murdock, James P Horton, A, E. Garbutt, Mark Turner and A. F. Cox, Foreman, Government "finally recognized its responsibility toward them. There are now about 2,000 boys in Canada enrolled in sea cadet corps, Mr. Harris explained. The sea cadet, he said, was taught to he manly, to recognize authority and to live a clean life. Through its action in forming corps the Navy League, he .sald, was pro- viding future officers for Canada's mercantile marine and for Can- ada's navy. "With our thousands of miles of coast line and with our great world trade, it is of vital import- ance that Canada should have a mercantile marine and that there should be a navy to protect and police the trade routes of that marine," Mr. Harris concluded. Col. Williams The splendid training, which sea cadets are given, was em- phasized by Col. Williams who also spoke briefly. The Navy League, he said, has opened up an important vocation for Cana- dian youth--that of following the sea. Boys are apprenticed to large navjgation companies and at the end of four years are qualified to try an examination for an of- ficer's papers. As Oshawa, with the completion of the St. Lawr- ence route, would ultimately be- come a sea port Col. Willlams be- lieved that a wise step would be taken in establishing a sea cader corps here. . xious that the Kiwanis Club, a9 a responsible organization, would foster such a movement here and he gave assurance that the Navy League would lend its fullest co- operation. On behalf of the Kiwanis Club. W. E. Davis expressed apprecia- tion to both speakers and stated be organized to discuss the ques tion in the 'near future, Dr. John Brock, secretary, gave a brief report of the convention of Kiwanis which he attended two weeks ago at St, John, New Bruns- ick as a delegate from the loeal cle 2 at ROY CRAIG The death of Roy Craig, late of Winnipeg, came as a shock to his mother, Mrs, Joseph Craig, 16 Bond Street, Oshawa, and his many Oshawa friends. The late Mr. Craig was in his forty-second year His death which occurred on Sep- tember 25, 1930, in the Victoria Hospital, Winnipeg, was sudden and unexpected, and was particul. arly so, to his mother, Mrs, Joa- -eph Craig, who had spent several weeks of this summer with him at Headeling, Manitoba. The funeral took place at 1¢€ Bond Street, on Monday, Septem- ber 29th. It was largely, attended by acquaintances of the deceased. Although the late years of his life have been spent in the West he had a host of friends in this vicin- ity and it is these friends who greatly mourn his loss, The sym-.

But I feel that the administration of law should be corrective in the first place and punishing in the second case." The first case before His Worship in his new position was a charge of fraudulently obtaining food and lodging laid against Samuel Hicks, Make it a Real The plight of the unemployed man in Oshawa should be and must be the concern of every citi- zen. It is a problem which the city council alone can not solve, but if every man or woman who has the means, would try to do his or her share in providing work for the jobless a great deal could be done and those who are "up against it" would feel that they have the practical sympathy and help of those who are in more for- tunate circumstances.

Apart from the electric energy that will be de- rived ®t' is essential, he said, that the Western farmer have cheaper transportation, so that he can compete ,with the markets of the world in the sale of his wheat crops. It is a well-known fact that water borne transportation is the cheapest and Mr. Conant felt that every Canadian should get behind the Government in this matter and boost for a twenty-seven foot water way from the head of the lakes to the sea bound. Mr. Newton Smale moved a vote of thanks to the speaker."

The accident, in which Doyle lost his life, occurred on 'Sept. 17th, while the young man was returning to Sun- derland. In some unexplained man- ner the car, in which he was driving alone, left the road and overturned in the ditch beside the highway. A passing motorist seeing the car, stop- ped, and on examing the machine found Doyle's lifeless body pinned beneath it. Very little evidence was presented to the coroner's jury which could bring any light to bear on the cause of the accident, and it is not known whether Doyle fell asleep at the wheel and was killed as the car en- tered the ditch or whether mechani- cal trouble caused the accident. The coroner's jury attached no blame to anyone for the accident in their verdict, TODAY Lay down your pen and set aside your book--- Time will come soon enough for those-- Now music sways the brook, Youth tints the rose.

"That all relief work to be done should be done by manual labor and that steam shovels should not be used. "That the hiring of relief Wwork- ers should be done by an Oshawa man. . "That the wage to be paid to relief workers be 60 cents per hour, seeing that the governments are making a grant of 2-3 of capital, leaving only 1-3 for the city of Oshawa to provide, also bearing in mind that a single man only works one week in 'three.
