THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1930 'Glasgow.--A striking evidence of the decline: in shipbuilding . owing to the limitation of' naval armaments in Great Britain is fur- ~ nfshed by' the purchase of the 'naval shipbuilding establishment ' 'of William Beardmore & Co, Limited, at Dalmuir, on the Clyde, . by National Shipbuilders Secur- ity, Limited, the rationalization company formed by British ship- builders six months ago. The prin- cipal object of National Ship- builders Security, Limited, which bas a nominal capital of $50,000, subscribed by the shipbuilding companies, but with borrowing powers up to $15,000,000, and has the support of banking authori. ties, is the purchase of redundant shipyards, the dismantling and sal of their contents, and the resale of the sites under restric tions against further use for ship- building. ' This purchase of the shipyard at Dalmuir means the end of ship- building there although work ia the other branches of the Beard- more plant at Dalmnir--the mar- | ine and general engineering works --will still continue, but no more ship can be laid down on the berths. It is the first move. in con. nection with plans for the closing of two or three big shipbuilding concerns in Great Britain, In an official statement Na- tional Shipbuilders Security, Lime ited, states that the scrapping of redundant shipyards will not mean less employment but will. increase the chance of the remaining yards securing more contracts in foreign competition and thus provide greater employment, as concentra- tion of production means saving in costs, in administrative expenses and in rates and taxes, a heavy burden at present. The acquiring * of Beardmore's is just a begin- ning in 'the "collective scheme within the industry itself," accord- ing to the statement. With reference to the decline of warship work the statement is as follows: "The British shipbuild- ing industry started 1930 with more redundant berths and plant than in previous years, due large- ly to the serious reduction in Brit- isM and foreign warship work. the Fun Riot! ei New {COMIC | PAGE 3 IM {COLOR COUNT SCREWLOOSE Official Programme "Prosperity Week" Oct. 11th-18th City Industrial Whistles Will Introduce "Prosperity Week" Saturday » 9.00 a:m." 9.00 a.m. 2.30, 7.00, 9.00 pm. 3 3.00 p.m. 3.00 to 5.00 p.m. Sunday 11.00 a.m. & 7.00 p.m. Monday 9.00 a.m. 9.00 am. 12.00 Noon 2.00 p.m. 2.30, 7.00, 9.00 p.m. 9.00 to 11.00 p.m. Tuesday 9.00 a.m. " 9.00 am. 12.00 Noon " " " 4.00 p.m. Wednesday 9.00 a.m. to 1.00 p.m. 9.00 a.m. 9.00 a.m. "12.00 Noon 2.30, 7.00, 9.00 p.m. Thursday 9.00 a.m. 9.00 a.m. 12.00 Noon 2.30, 7.00, 9.00 p.m. 4.00 p.m. 9.00 to 9.02 a.m. 2.30, 7.00, 9.00 p.m. Special Motor Show at all dealers' show- rooms.

Warship work in private yards to- day is one-fifth of what it was at the end of 1928 and little more than one-twentieth of pre-war amount. In addition to the falling there has been a serious reduction in mercantile orders." 2 A striking comparison between the naval shipbuilding of the present day and a few years ago is thus set out: "Messrs. Beard- more's record of naval work Is has occurred in naval shipbuilé- ing. During the 14 . years from 1906 to 1919, when the last of the wartime work was completed, they launched four battleships, seven cruisérs, 21 destroyers, 13 sub marines, six hospital ships, and » seapl@ne-carrier. In the 11 years which have elapsed since 1919 their total of naval construction has comprised one cruiser and two sttbmarines. . Since the war mercantile work has formed the bulk of the Beard- more shipyards work, some not- able vessels having been turned out in recent years. g ,..

Thin skirts show which way the wind blows, 'PRIVATE LIVES' - IS FLIPPANT PLAY London Critics Agree Cow- ard's New Play Has Many Inanities London,--'Noel Coward is the play-boy of the London stage," says the News-Chronicle critic of the drama with reference to the recent production at the Phoenix Theatre of "Private Lives," the 'atest play written by the well- nown playwright and actor. 'Joward has raised flippancy to he plane of genius, and \in his aw 'intimate comedy,' which de- igshted the audience, he even 'namplions_flippancy as the only wise treatment of life. A quick- witted audience, inured to Noel Cowardism, also helped in the success of 'Private Lives," What would happen if his witticisms missed fire? They will hardly bear the cold test of print." The Times critics, commenting on "Private Lives", says: "On the adjoining balconies of 2 French hotel are two couples married this morping---Amanda with Vietor, Sybil with Elyot. Now, it happens that five years ago Elyot and Amanda were divorced because they loved each other so much that they were for quarelliing, They meet on the bal cony; they discuss two cham- pagne cocktails and the spouses to whom 'they were this mornjug | ud y 4 ever |th linked; they: dither, embrace, and flee. That is the first act an omel- ette relatively rich fn eggs. In Paris they quarrel, and that is the second act. Next morning Sybil an Victor having breakfasted, quarrel likewise, and that is the third. And yet what an entertain- ing play it fs! Mr, Coward has an unsurpassed gift for combining entertainment with nothingness. . "Mr. Coward's wayward man- 'heriéms have herp thelr most fit- ting background, and the dialogue which might seem in print a trickle of inanities becomes in the theatre a perfectly-timed and di- rected inter-play of nonsense.' NATIVE TRIBES FACE EXTINCTION IN AUSTRALIA London, Eng.--The fear that in ine will be extinct moves the science Journal "Nature" to appeal for the betterment of conditions for the race, for whom a reservation of 62,000 square miles has been set tralian (Governments. ""Thére can be little doubt that, unless measur es are taken without delay. in a few years the aboriginal will be- come extinct," says "Nature," On humanitarian grounds this Is, to use a mild term, 'discredit- abI&; on scientific grounds it is to be deplored, Even now, much fur- or study (nearing upon early his. etory and culture) fg needed, for Which the data still exists, especial. ly 'among the rem known tribes, ater And. lem a few years the Australian aborig- | aside by the South and West Aus-. n MANUAL LABOR FOR DEFECTIVE EN New Institution Provides Home and Work for Mentally Deficient Birmingham, BEng. = Coleshill Hall, which was officially opened recently as an institution for mental defectives, wag formerly the home of the old Warwickshire family of the Wingfield Digbys. The hall and park of 180 acres, which were recently acquired by the Birming- ham Corporation, are situated be- tween Coleshill and Water Orton. The total expenditures of adapting the estate and of erecting new bulld- ings: and equipping them is said to be about $445,000. The new buildings, which are planned on the villa" system, and thus allowed a properly graded scheme of segregation, Include four villas, each capable of accom- modating 60 patients. At present there is full provision for 300 pa- tients, but in the lay-out consider- ation has been given to future development and for the treat- ment of 1,000 defectives. These villas are homelike and quite dis- tinct from the customary institu- tfonal pattern. Bach has three day rooms which receive the maxi- mum of light and air. A feature of colonies for the mentally deficient is the provision for manual work, and here the ex- tensive stable buildings have been converted into a steam laundry, while elsewhere workshops have been erected, together with a tem- porary recreation room, Male in- mates are able to undergo training in shops for the working engineer, carpenter, shoemaker and brush- maker, and it is hoped soon to start tailoring. Basket and raf- fla work, gardening, and the care of small livestock are also under- taken. At the opening ceremony the Lord Mayor of Birmingham, Al- derman M. L. Lancaster, sald that he hoped that legislative action would in time be taken to make it impossible for those who were men- tally afflicted to bring children into the world who might suffer from a similar infirmity, TRANSVAAL OWES PAY TO TEACHERS Education Department Be- hind $125,000 in Payroll Johannesburg, Africa.--An extra- ordinary financial situation has been revealed in the Transvaal Educa- tion Department. It appears that the Department is liable under its own regulations for arrear pay- ments of increases and allowances to native teachers dating back to 1928. These teachers have not been paid and at present it is esti- mated that a sum of $125.000 is required to meet the Department's obligations. A native teacher in Johannesburg has tested the validity of his claim in Jaw and he has received the amount due to him. Should other teachers entitled to. these arrears choose to issne summonses against the Deaprtment, it will mean that roughly 1,031 demands will be made for payment, and the Depart- ment may be seriously embarras- sed, . The position is that the Govern- ment will have to find the neces- sary $125,000 for the Province can- not tax for native education. DISCOMFORTS OF EARLY RAILROADS Customers Warned Against Cinders, Chills and Explosions London, Eng.-- In connection with the recent celebration at Liver- pool and Manchester of 100 years of railway operation the discomforts of early railway travel are recall- ed by the advice given to second- class passengers in 1838 by Cogh- lan's "The Iron Road Book and Railway Companion" as follows: "Get as far away from the engine as possible, for this reason: First, should an explosion take place, you may happily get off with the loss of an arm or leg--whereas if you should happen to be placed near the said plece of hot machinery and an unfortunate accident really oc- cur, you would very probably be 'smashed to smithereens', as bro- ther Jonathan most expressively terms the likely result of such an occurrence. Secondly, the vibration is very mueh diminished the farth- er you get away from the engine Thirdly, always sit(if you can get a seat) with your back towards the engine, against _the boarded part of the wagon; by this plan you will avoid being chilled by a cold circuit of air which passes through these open wagons, and also save yourself from being nearly blinded by the small cinders which escape through the funnel." "PACK DRILL" NOW DEFUNCT IN ARMY London.--"Packdrill" as a pun- ishment is to cease in the British Army. It has indeed been a rarity in most army units for some years, but King's Regulations as now amended abolish it completely. The amendment marks a stage in the character of Army discipline. "The authorities," while recognizing still that elementary personal or cor- porate discipline is reached most readily through the medium of bodily exercise, have also become persuaded that the higher and more truly comprehensive discipline is on an intellectual basis and is instilled not on the parade ground, but in the class-rooms. AGREEMENT GIVES WATER SERVICE TONORTH OSHAWA (Contianed from Page 1) ment was drawn up as follows: "That the request of the Township of East Whitby for an extension of water mains into. the township on the fol- lowing streets, north on Simcoe St. to Glover's house, west on Jones avenue to Clapp's residence, south on Hortop avenue to Roslyn Road, south on Carnegie avenue to Ross- land Road, with the possibility of an extension to Simcoe street (if neces- sary) be granted on the following terms: (1) The township to pay in cash the total cost of installation -- all pipes and connections to be supplied and installed by the commission and! the excavation bank filling may be done by the township.
