LOCAL BUILDER COMPLETES RINK AT KAPUSKASING W. J. Trick Much Impressed With Model Northern Ontario Town W. J, Trick, well known local contractor, returned this week from Kapuskasing in Northern Ontario where he has supervised the erec- tion of one of the lagest skating arenas in Ontario. The arena for 'which Mr, Trick held the bulk contract, was built at a cost of some $765,000 and was completed in ninety days which is a record for this kind of construction, The arena is larger than the Oshawa Arena and is squipped with two ice surfaces, one for hockey and one for curling. It has the Lamelle Truss Roof which is also a feature of the Oshawa Arena and which by its construction allows perfect view of a hockey game from any point in the arena. Mr. Trick was very much im- pressed with Kapuskasing, The town has a population of 3861 which is a couple of hundred more than in Bowmanville. It is a model community built by its largest in- dustry, the Spruce Falls Power and Paper Company. ' It was carefully planned before any building was erected and beautiful parks are a feature. The town is entirely mod- ern despite its northly location and is equipped with modern water- works and sewer facilities. Electric light is used for streets and resi- dents. It also contains, public, high and separate schools, town ball, three churches, a club house, hospl- tal and hotel. It is the heart of a great country noted for its natur- al resources and developments are under way in the china clay, oll, lignite and gypsum industries. Ka- puskasing bids fair to becoming one of the most important, industrial towns in Ontario.

It was learned by the court that there had been considerable bad blood between the families for some time. His Wor- ship warned both families to refrain from quarreling in future 'and bound. them over to peaceful be- havior. Volunteer Workers Succeed in Preventing Flames Colborne, October: 23. Fire which threatened to in- volve much property in this town last night completely destroyed the Rectory of the Trinity Anglican, Church, causing loss estimated at $5,- 000.

WHITE FROST TODAY As Oshawans arose from their beds this morning and gazed out- side their windows they were sur- prised to see that Jack Frost had covered everything with sparkling frozen dew, It wag rather s fascin- ating sight, and the clear bracing air this morning made it an ideal and exhilirating autumn day. SKATING SEASON STARTS With both artificial ice arenas open for the season, the thoughts of the younger generation, and not a few of the older generation too, have turned naturally to skating. Interest has been lost in tennis, golf and other Sports which are generally associated with warm weather, and hundreds will enjoy the delight of gliding swiftly on a smooth ice surface with the aid of the sharp steel blades. UNDER THE WALNUT TREF The Times' walnut tree, which rears its lofty branches on Simcoe street south opposite The Times' building, has borne a good crop of walnuts this fall, This newspaper office corresponds to the village Sruiehys made famous by Longfellow or "Under the spreading walnut tree The Times' Office Stands."

The only people who are going to benefit any are the merchants of Oshawa and I do not see where they are going to benefit very much at that. At the present time there. is 3,000 people in Oshawa and district who are affect- ed through dull work or are unem- ployed, and these | citizens would liked to have taken their part in making it a real "Prosperity. Week" or even better, 'a real "Prosperity Year" but like myself the only way they know there is such a thing on in Oshawa, is by reading about it in the newspapers or standing at the Four Corners looking at those few who, are trying to make it a Pros- perity Week. ~ One of the main items during the week was the "Travelling of the Prosperity Dollar." It may be alright for a bit of a publicity stunt, but I fail to see where anything is going to be derived from that source, as I understand it, that dollar was fol- lowed to see how many times it hag been spent and' what articles have been bought with it, Well anybody knows that dollar will travel a dozen times faster than any other dollar and all that is being bought with it and all the rest of the few extra dollars that is being spent with try- ing to make it a Prosperity Weck |and at the first meeting of the board will not create 4 hours more work for thie people who are lucky enough to be employed, and the same thing applies to wherever they are holding a Prosperity Week in the Dominion and the reason for that is, there is not enough dollars being spent and there is not enough people has dol- lars to spend and in my opinion a prosperity week" would be a great success if it had been held at the right time and that 'is when' the people has money to spend, not when they have none. As one of the unemployed, I and hundreds of others have come to the conclusion that instead of taking part in Prosperity Week, we are going to be forced to take part in a "Big Endurance Test" and it'is going to last longer than a week, I think it is going to last longer than either tree sitting or endurance. flying, it is going to last all winter and has last- ed nearly all summer and our test is going to be trying to get the neces~ sities of life to keep body and soul together and fuel to keep the house and kids warm during the winter months. I haye been unemployed for 18 weeks and during that time I have earned $40, and has a wife and family to keep and with the winter coming: on where are we going to get work or money to buy coal and groceries?' There is going to be some pros perity 'for us, our prosperity is de- pending on' the generosity of other people. and the only prosperity that 1s for us is depending on. the milk- man, coalman, etc~J.S. : WEEKLY ORDERS OF ONTARIO REGIMENT .

WOULD NAME ALL WARDS IN CITY | Dr. T. E. Kaiser Commends City Council For Taking Action Oshawa, Oct. 22, 1930. Editor, The Oshawa Daily Times, Dear Sir: A resolution presented to the City Council and passed by that body on Monday night deserves some consideration and publicity. TI re- fer to the motion presented by Al- derman Cameron and seconded by Alderman Sulley, having regard to the re-arrangement of the polling subdivision of Oshawa. Only one other city in Ontario attempts to carry on an election, municipal or political, under so stupid or ancient a system as that obtaining in the eity of Oshawa. No one, or few, knows the name or location of even the wards of the city, not to men- tion the polling subdivisions. Let me suggest that: we christen the awards, St. Gregory's (N.E.); St. George's (BW.); St. Andrew's (8.E.); each after their respective leading churches, and finish with Aberdeen and Cedardale, instead of Lottie Wilson and her sister, Susan | WOMEN WANTED [Committee Appointed to Secure Estimates of Cost At Meeting COMPLETES RINK W. J. TRICK Well known local builder who has returned to Oshawa after complet- ing the erection of one of the lar- gest hockey arenas in the Province of Ontario. The rink has two ice surfaces, one for hockey and one for curling. the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, Bb, scattered promiscuously over the city. Having regard to the number and arrangement of the polling sub- divisions, nothing could be worse than that which now obtains, and I am sure that the General Purpose Committee of the City Council, with Alderman Boddy at its head, will evolve a scheme beginning at the north end of the city and ending at the lake, numbered in proper sequ- ence, and defined in such a way as to be intelligible to citizens gen- erally will be the outcome of the resolution. This is a much more important matter than may at first sight appear and reflects credit upon the present Council for having commenced a reform of great value, Yours truly, T. E. Kaiser. Work to Start Immediately on IS ORGANIZED Roy Bennett Chairman-- Will Employ Qualified Social Worker The organization of the Oshawa Family Welfare Board provided for in the constitution of the Oshawa Associated Welfare Societies, which was adopted at the recent annual moeating, has now been completed, held in the Chamber of Commerce board room Tuesday night the fol- lowing officers were elected: Roy Bennett, Chairman; Thomas Hawk- es; Cice-Chairman; George W. Hez- selwood, Treasurer; George Hamil- ton, Secretary pro tem. Other mem- bers of the Board are Mrs. (Dr.) B. A, Brown, Mrs. G. D. Conant, Mayor Mitchell and A. R. Alloway. At the meeting Tuesday the Chairman and Secretary were auth- orized to consult with Judge D. B. Harkness of the Community Wel- fare Council, of Ontario, with ref- erence to securing the services of a full trained social worker who would act as Investigator and ex- ecutive secretary for the Board, Concrete Pavement to the Lake WELFARE BOARD | Commminss Meine Aver Votes to Carry By-law Au- thorizing Work Work will be started immediately on the concrete pavement to be built on Simcoe street south, from Thomas street to the harbor, Mayor T. B. Mitchéll informed The Times this morning. The * council met in commitfee of the whole last night and it was dis- covered that there were sufficient members in favor of a concrete pave- ment to give the necessary bylaw, au- thorizing the work, its third reading when it is brought up at the next regular meeting of the council. There was a sharp division of op~ inion at the last meeting of the*coun- cil concerning the respective merits of concrete pavement and the black base type, which was recommended by the board of works in its report, Evidently, however, there will be no serious obstruction of the bylaw. Ap- parently those mmebers who opposed laying concrete would rather have the work started as soon as possible rather than to hold it up indifienitely on account of their views in the mat. ter. A two-thirds vote of the council is necessary to pass the bylaw. * * Held Last Night Proposed Beach Would Be Built South of Red Cross Cottage by Means of Jet- ties or Cribs | COMMISSION WANTS TO MEET FAIR BOARD | May Discuss Future Devel opment of Alexandra Park as Athletic Centre-- No Action Taken to Au. thorize Grading Opera- tions at Alexandra Park The board of park commissioners at their meeting last night resolved that Dr. F. L. Henry and S. G. Car- nell be appointed to secure estimates of the cost necessary for the con- struction of two jetties or cribs on the lake front south of the Red Cross Cottage, that would aid the commis- sion ip hwilding an. adequate bathing beach fur the children' of 'the city. It was considered that the Proposed cribs should be built west of the ex- isting concrete retaining walls built by the commission at Lakeview Park. While it. was not definitely decided to proceed with the work it was thought that the work should be un- dertaken this fall in order to get the benefit of what the waters of the goke would do during the winter sea- on in carrying in sand and gravel. The board expressed itself as in sympathy with the need for an ade- quate bathing beach for the children of the city. In order to build a beach suitable, the board last night heard tentative plans for the work as ad- vanced by Mr. Carnell. Mr. Carnell stated that he had looked into the matter at some length and had come to the conclusion that the building of two cribs, which would run out into the lake for a distance of sixty (Continued on page 2) SONS OF ° ENGLAND: WHIST drive Friday, 8 p.m. 26c.
