THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1930 PAGE THREE Ratepayers Discuss City Manager Plan of Government Here Car Stolen in Oshawa Used In Attempt to Hold up Store At Buttonville Last Night Auto Owned by Kenneth Holliday, Brooklin, Found Abandoned Near Mark. ham After Crashing Into Mail Box and Tree TWO ARRESTED AT TORONTO FOR CRIME Caught on Street in Toronto a Few Hours After Hold- : up--Proprietor of Store Kept Cool and Frightened Bandits Away * Arrested in Toronto at an early hour this morning, charged with an attempted holdup near Unionville, last night, in which a car stolen in Oshawa, is said have been involved. Stanley and Edward Parker, brothers of Toronto, were remanded a weck in York County police court this morning. The pair were caught on a street in Toronto this morning, a few hours after they are alleged to have tried to hold-up A. L. Hood, proprietor of a general store at Buttonville, Driving up to his store about 10.30 o'clock in a maroon-colored sedan, the pair honked the horn on the pre- text of wanting some gasoline. Mr. Hood was just closing up. He came out and 'asked how much gasoline they wanted and one of them replied, "seven or cight." As he went to the back of the car, one of the pair, with a handkerchief over his face, got out and stuck a revol- ver into the storekeeper's ribs. Mr. Hood made no move to put up his hands, and instead looked a- round for a weapon. The man be- came alarmed and jumping in the! car, the pair headed for Toronto. The description of the car tallied with one which was reported stolen to the local police from Church st, between 8.15 and 945 o'clock, last night. It was owned by Kenneth Holliday, Brooklin. | Toronto and Markham police were | immediately notified and officers were despatched to the main highways to keep a lookout. |to by | Another solo was sung by Mr. Both young men are described as | being about 20 years old and wearing caps. They were slim and one was dark, the other fair. | The car used was found by a farm- | er on the town line between Mark- | ham and Scarboro, four miles from | Buttonville, at midnight. It had | crashed into a mail box on the side | o? the road and after running into | the ditch, struck a tree. Scarboro police stated that it was the car stol- en from Oshawa earlier in the efen- ing. No further trace of the men was found. Chief of Police O. D, Friend stat- ed to The Times this morning that a charge of theft of the car would not be laid against the men until the charge of attempted robbery were proved, and it was reasonably certain that they were the men that took the car. He confirmed the fact that the car found near Markham was that which had been stolen from Oshawa. A PLAY, MARYIZING MARTHA, Albert Street United Church, Tuesday, December 2, at 8 p.m. Admission 25c.

Municipal Offices, Oshawa, Nov. 26/30 . ---- Temperature Rises, Snow F lakes Fall The snow that fell in the early hours of this morning had one beneficial effect, in that it caused' a moderation of the near-zero tem. perature that this district has been experiencing during the last two days At midnight last night the thermometer at the fire hall reg- istered 7 degrees above zero, while this morning at eight o'- clock it bad moderated to 20 de. grees above zero. Thursday night the temperature dropped to 9 de- grees above zero This was the first real fall of snow of this winter here, but it was not nearly as heavy as other Ontario districts have beén cxperi. encing, roads having been block- ed already in some localities.

GOOD PROGRESS 15 MADE ON RELIEF WORK IN OSHAWA 500 JOBLESS MEN HAVE RECEIVED WORK WEEK ABOUT Simcoe Street Paving Nearly Finished, Subway Excava- tion Moves Rapidly Excavation work is proceeding rapidly on the new subway beneath the C.N.R. tracks on Simcoe Street south, The contractors, Bathe and McLellan have been favored by fine weather and as a result progress has been more rapid than it perhaps oth- erwise would have been. This morning when The Times vis- ited the scene of operations, the steam shovel was found busily en- gaged on the south side of the rail- way tracks and was gouging out great loads of earth at a point near the railway embankment. The ap- proach to the subway from the north | side, which runs diagonally east from the intersection of Simcoe and Bloor streets, has been dug to a depth of about twelve feet and the contrac- Has Annual at Home With Dinner, Dance!

Judge R. Ruddy, of Whitby, presided the mecting. No action was taken by the commission yesterday with regard to a communication from the re- tail merchants' section of the Chamber of Commerce, requesting that it enact a bylaw governing transient traders and making it necessary for such traders to pay a license fee or business tax of $250. The by-law would protect the merchants from the competi- tion of those who bring in bunk- rupt stock, auction it off and then leave without establishing a per. manent business here. Doubt was expressed by members of the com- mission as to whether it was a matter for the city council. They plan, however, to give clgse consid. eration to the request and will consult the revised statutes to as- certain what powers they have In a case of this kind. Present at the meeting were Judge R. Ruddy.. Mayor T. B. Mit- chell, Magistrate T. K. Creighton and Chief Owen D. Friend, secre. tary. CHRISTMAS TREE Pheonix Lodge Prepares for Big Annual Treat For Children Phoenix Lodge. No. 22, 1.0.O.F. is once again preparing for its an- nual Kiddies' Christmas Tree to be held in the near future, This is one of the big events of the lodge year and to make it a suc- cess it is necessary that every member with children get in touch with the committee by telephone so that the committee will know the number they have to make arrangements for, * This event has always been look- ed forward to by hundreds of éhil- dren in the city and the Lodge is planning to make this event for 1930 the greatest in their history. The committee is headed by 8. Rotish of the Scotland Woollen Mills. | of over | tors are now working on the ap- proach to the subway from the south.

An interesting feature of the sub- way job is the sewer which is being constructed to drain the subway. I'his work is being done by the city, under the direction of City Engineer W. C. Smith and twenty-four men are engaged, the majority oi whom have been recruited from the ranks of the unemployed. The sewer is being constructed at right angles to the subway and north the C.N.R. tracks. It will empty into the Oshawa creek and will thus assure the subway of proper drain- age.

Materials for paving, including hun- dreds of bags of cement, are massed at this point and through the ingen- ious use of the boiler of a steam rol- ler, dn endeavor is being made to prevent the cement from freezing by a pipe line carrying steam from the boiler. The paving on Simcoe street south has been done under the direction of the city engineer's department with the pse of relief labor and riding | over the paved portion in the city j engineer's car, The Times' reporter was thoroughly? convinced that splendid and durable road has been built. Unfortunately, as the new pavement is to the west of the old road, a number of fine trees which formerly lined the shoulder of the old thoroughfare have of necessity been removed. It is hoped, however, that action will be taken to plant young trees in their place so that in time a fine boulevard may be creat- ed which wil be a credit to Oshawa. Although cold weather has made it necessary to suspend certain civic works, particularly paving, up until last week the city was supplying work, week about, to 500 unemploy- ed men through its special program of relief works. A large number of these men were crowding about the city's offices before noon today wait- ing for their cheques which must prove welcome assistance to themsel- ves anll their families.

But today he is feeling much happler. He isn't just sure yet that he has enough, but the situation has improved a great deal. And this remarkable improve- ment is due to a double generos- ity on the part of the people in this elty. The first generosity was shown by Jeon Osier, manager of the Regent theatre, who conceived a splendid idea to help the Boy Scout Toy shop in Oshawa. The second generosity was shown by over 1,500 boys and, girls of the city, who have today given their toys, in exchange for the privilege of attending a special matince iu the Regent. The admission price at this mor- one toy--no less. It didn't matter if the foy was rather old and dilapidated for the deft hands of the Scouts will make it look like new before Christmas Day dawns. The show was announced in the public schools in the city through the kindness of Inspector C. F. Can. non. And before ten o'clock this morning the kiddies started their march on the Regent. From al- most every street in the city they came, toys under their arms. Some of them were neatly wrapped, like a Christmas present, others were carried right out in the open. But that didn't matter, They were as good as a ticket today. Long before the first reel was shown. the theatre was full, with four rows of boys seated on the stage and all the standing room occupied. The first chief and his assistants had a hard time to keep the isles from being blocked as they continued to stream in. And one of the surprises was the fact that nearly as many girls as boys brought their old toys to attend the show, Outside the theatre, there was a busy scene as the firemen, giv- ing thelr assistance to the Scout? tried to keep up with the avalanche of toys. The hose truck was fill- ed to the top, heaped up as much as they dared, and still the toys kept coming, until two full loads were collected. During the show, C, M. Mundy, president of the city Boy Scouts' Association, spoke briefly, thank. ing the boys and girls and also the theatre management for their co- operdtion and outlining to the boys and girls present the merits of the scout organization.

Their duty is to elect a representative to the 10th annual Ontario Older Boys' Parliament which meets in Toronto between Christmas ana New Year's. Candidates here include Douglas Henderson, of Simcoe Street United Church, the present member, who is seeking re-election, and Stanley Harris, of King Street United Church. = Last night, under the dir- ection of the Oshawa Boys' Work Board, a joint meeting of Tuxis and Trail Ranger groups was held in the Rotary Hall in order to give the two candidates a chance to address the electorate. Stanley Harris Stanley Harris was given the op- portunity of speaking first, and in a clear concise way he outlined his platform. The Boys' Parliament, he believed, was vital to boys' work in the province and he was convine- ed that it offered the best way of promoting the principles of Cana- dian Standard Efficiency Training. The need of establishing more camps for boys was stressed by this candidate and he thought that as many Tuxis boys and Trail Ran: gers should attend camp as possi- ble. Stanley suggested closer co- operation between the groups in the various churches of the city and stated that if elected he would en- deavor to promote more joint meet- ings at which the boys of as many churches as possible should be rep- resented. Douglas Henderson Douglas Henderson also gave a fine speech and in tracing the his- tory of the boys' parliament he pointed out that they now existed in six provinces. At the present time, he said, C S.E.T. work, which is in- terdeominational in character, is only carried on in the United Churches of the city and if re-elect- ed he promised to do his best to have it introduced in other churches. Doug. was also strong for camps and told of the good which one could get out of them. Although the bond selling method of finaneng C.S.E.T. work was aban- doned this year. He favored this means of raising money and stated that the local boys' work board could do much more here if it had more funds at its disposal. Rev. C, E. Cragg, pastor of King Street United Church, and Rev. W. P. Fletcher, pastor of Centre Street United Church, spoke briefly and commended the two candidates for the able manner in which they had pleaded their views before the vo- ters. Dr. Fletcher urged that every boy should do his best to live up to the standards of C.S.E.T. and stated that all boys who determin- ed to give of their best and to live clean lives would achieve success. The meeting last night was under the capable leadership of R. Brown, chairman of the boys' work board, Resolution Sent to Council Asking For More Efficient Administration of the Ci City and District | ADDRESS WANTED A cable from Sheffield, England, 1as been received at Oshawa, for "Kaye Chez."

The value of the cloth- ing was over ten dollars. The lad, who is seventeen years of age and French-Canadian, plead- ed guilty to the charge and asked the Magistrate to send him home. The Magistrate however, did not feel Inclined to deal so leniently with the case and thought that the accused would be better off in some provincial institution for the winter months. The prisoner seem- ed quite dejected when his fate was known to him and seemed to have a hard time keeping back the tears which welled in his eyes. This was his first offence of any kind he told the court and he assured the magistrate that unemployment had been the cause of his down- fall. He was apparently in need of clothes for those he wore had seen better days. His overalls were torn and ragged and his coat was almost threadbare. He wore no hat and certainly looked as if a little care and a few good meals would do him a world of good. and previous to the speeches by the candidates a worship service was held. Opportunity was given to those present to cast their ballots at the hall, while the voting is being con- tinued from twelve o'clock noon to two o'clock this afternoon at St. Andrew's United Church Sunday school.

In the window of Lewington's Flower Shop is a display of the man- ner in which the Canadian Pacific Telegraph Company co-operates in these floral messages.
