In passing judgment, His Worship stated that the offense was one on which the law looked as serious. His Worship also said that the accused had appeared in court Before on a similar charge and that the penalty imposed at that time apparently had not acted as a sufficient warning Minnie: Gammon, half sister Fane acctised, pleaded guilty to a similar charge laid against her. The Crown asked that, as she had two small :hildren and had evidently been in- fluenced by her brother in commit. ting the act for which she was ar- raigned, she should be given sus. pended sentence. His Worship con- cirred in the Crown's request and placed Minnie Ganimon on Suspended sentence. Re when. Scott was brought to the Pol- | BAPTIST SECRETARY REV, A.

Mr, Hezzelwood, who is the author of a number of poems read some of his own compositions much to the en- Joyment of the members. Although Mr, Hezzelwood claims to be past the age of three score years, he still has a keen insight of human nature and is still active in juany humani- tarfan societies in Toronto. R. N, Bassett, who introduced the speaker, stated that he was a man of varied Interests, who had gained some no- toriety as a poet. Mr. Hezzelwood, he said, had at one time been a member of the staff «of the McLaugh- lin Carriage Co. before that com- pany entered upon the manufacture of motor cars. Mr. Bassett sald that Mr. Hezzelwood had also been active as vice president of the Ontario La- dies' College at Whitby, Mr. Hezzelwood stated, in humor- ous vein, that when he was connect- ed with the carriage company here he had done the clerical work that now was done by the large office staff and had also had time to rest. For doing this work, he sald he had re- ceived the sum of $6 a month, and even then some of the staff thought he was overpaid, The selections from his own works that were read to the club, showed 1 fine knowledge of human nature, Some of the poems had a rare qual- ity of hymor while others contained Died EDWARDS--In Oshawa, on Tues- day, October '21st, 1930, Edith Mae Richards, beloved wife of John W.

Every run to the scene of a fire in the town- ship by the Oshawa Fire Brigade costs the township $75 and that with the series of fires of late considerable expense is being borne by the township for calls of thn Oshawa brigade into the township territory. as Unetaployed! Work Week On and Week Off, Twice the Number Are Given Jobs for One Week in Every Two PAVING STARTED ON UPTOWN STREETS Oshawa Is Making Honest Effort to Cope With Situs ation--Extra Burden Plac- ed Upon City Engineer's Department One hundred and forty-two un-' employed men are working for the city this week, according to inform.' ation given to The Times by City Engineer W, C, Smith. Within another week the city engineer ex- pects to have one hundred more men at work as a start may be made LEGION TO PLAN OBSERVANCE OF # ARMISTICE DAY Will Hold Meeting Tomor- row Night -- Important Business to be Discussed Plans for the observance of the Armistice Anniversary, and for the annual Poppy Day campaign for re- let funds of the Oshawa Branch of the Canadian Legion, will form the chief business at the regular meet- ing of the Legion to he held in the council chambers tomorrow evening. The Legion members are looking forward to their annual Armistice Dinner on the evening of Thursday, November 6, when It.-Col. K, Keil- lor McKay, provincial president of the Legion, will be present as the chief speaker. A number of pro- minent citizens and public men' of Oshawa have also accepted invita- tions to be present as speakers, and it Is expected that the capacity of the hall will be taxed to the limit for the occasion. In addition to the discussion. of Armistice plans, there is other important business to come before tomorrow night's meet. Ing and a large attendance is hoped or. pathos both of which were blended to form a most enjoyable recital, In speaking ' of the manner in which the inspiration of the poems came to him, Mr. Hezzelwood said that he was asked one day to con- tribute a poem for a church service. All through the week, he said, noth- ing came to him but on the Sunday morning while eating his breakfast a thought came to him and he set it down. Other poems had been sug- gested to him by things he had seen at different times. In the absence of President R. B. Smith, Past President A. J. Parkhill had charge of the luncheon.

It is also expected that work may commence on the sewer to drain the new sub-' way within a few days. Gangs of men are at present én-' gaged in laying concrete asphaltic pavement on Roxborough avenue and on Richmond Street, grading of the hill on Willingdon Ave, is also being proceeded with while an other gang is digging a sewer on Howard street. On account of the frost and cold weather, the laying of new concrete sidewalks has been temporarily suspended. The grad- ing of a hill on Bloor street is to be done in the near future. It is doubtful whether any city in Ontario, or even in Canada fis making a more honest effort to cope with its unemployment problem. As the unemployed men are given work week on and week off, it means that at the present time 248 are receiving work one week in every two. When additional men are tak- en on it is expected that approxima~ tely 500 will be working one week out of two until the vanious under- takings have been completed, The supervision of these relief measures has placed a heavy bur- den upon the city engineer's de partment but so far it has not com- plained.
