SIX BELOW THIS MORNING The thermometer dropped like "wheat on the Winnipeg grain mar- ;ket last night. When Oshawa awoke this morning window panes were frosted, the creak of vehicles travelling over the ice-covered streets could be heard and it was hard to leave a warm bed to brave the cold which seemed to even permeate brick walls and to defy the efforts of heating systems of any kind. But outside in the cold and frosty air, under a pale blue January sky, it was exhilirating enough and. few compained as they hastened along to work even though the mercury was at six degrees below zero. OVERHEATED FURNACE An overheated furnace was the cause of a fire which broke out in the home of 8S. Nochols, 194 Clarke street, at 7.15 o'clock' last night. The fire department was called and extinguished the flames with little difficulty. Practically no damage was done. : TWO ARE INJURED BY POLICE IN BOMBAY (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Bombay, India, Jan. 15.--A man and a woman were. wounded by police rifle fire and 150 persons injured by lathis or staves when police charged a crowd of Nation- alist demonstrators at Ahmadabad Wednesday.

HELD LAST NIGHT Encouraging Reports Are Presented--Church Officers Elected Encouraging reports of the work which has been accomplished dur- ing the past year featured the an- nual meeting 'of the congregation of First Baptist Church. held last night. A large attendance was on hand and the meeting was pre- sided over by Rev. A. W. Small, he pastor. : one to the meeting a deli- clous supper was served in the Sunday school room by the ladies of the church. The business ses- sion followed at eight o'clock. The congregation was fortunate {n having present last night sev- eral distinguished visitors includ- ing Rev. C,~H. Schutt, supefinten- dent of Baptist Home Missions, Rev. C. J. Cameron, secretary of the Baptist Home Misgion Board and R. V. Warren, 'treasurer of Baptist Missions. They made brief but stimulating addresses in which they showed the great val- ue of the missionary enterprises of the church, Minutes of the last annual meet- ing were read by the clerk J. H. Wilkins and then reports were pre- sented by the church, Sunday School, the Baptist Young People's Union, the Women's Mission Circle and the Ladies' Aid. There was ample evidence that the congrega- tion is making progress both along spiritual and material lines and the members are looking forwad with confidence to even better things during 1931. The election of officers resulted as follows:----clerk, J. H. Wilkins; treasurer, R. A. Hamilton; Board of Deacons, J. C. Anderson, chair- man; R. A. Hamilton, J. H. Wil- kins, BE. L. Miller and W.

Ralph "Tooper, Superintendent of the ~hantymen's Christian Association. Rev. Mr. Wardell urged the church to adoptithree "P's as their mot- to in relation to the pastor. These were, 'praise the pastor", "pay the pastor", and 'pray for the pas- tor". Dr. Hooper emphasized the great importance of harmony in the church, the people working unitedly for the gospel, and at the same time cultivating a spirit of love toward all. Division in the church was a most destructive fac- tor, and one which could be avoid- ed by emphasizing' the spiritual things, Dr. Hooper said. Mr. and Mrs. Gelatt sang a duet, and Mr. Gelatt spoke "briefly expressing again his great desire*to be used of God in the gospel ministry in Oshawa. The church is moving next Sun- day to its new building at the corner of Centre and John streets, where a formal opening and dedi- cation service will be held on Sun- day morning. PRESENTATION TO MR. AND MRS. H. FALL ON LEAVING OSHAWA Last evening the Hotel Genosha was the scene of a surprise party in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Fall, who will be leaving Oshawa in the very near future to go to Cornwall, when' Mr. Fall will take up his new duties as manager of the Cornwallis Hotel. About twenty of their friends called on Mr. and Mrs. Fall, who were surprised. to learn that ar- rangements had been made with their own staff for a supper dance {n the main dining room. During the gourse of the evening a novel presentation was made by Dr. Grant Berry when the honored ones were presented with a beau- tful tray of traced Indian brass. Mr. Fall in replying to the kind words of Dr. Berry paid respect to the citizens of Oshawa and regret- ted that it was necessary.to leave Oshawa where he has made so many good friends. Among the guests were: Mr. and Mrs. Fred Pawson, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Greenley, Mr. and Mrs, Fred McBrien, Dr. and Mrs. Grant Berry, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Mal. let, Dr. W. H. Gifford, Miss Mar- guerite Callaghan, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Branch, Mr. and Mrs. T. 1. Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Pow. The music for dancing was sup- plied by O. Reynolds and his or- chestra. Méssrs. Hasry Mallett, T. L. Wilson and Dr. Berry, were the committee in charge of the affair. MAKING PROGRESS AT COULTER PLANT (Continued from page 1) made arrangements to have cast stone used for all silk and doping, al- though the contract called for stone on the front only. This will add considerably to the appearance of the ilding. Ordinary gravel and the sand for bricklaying are being supplied by the Dixon Sand and Gravel Co. of Osh- awa, while waterwash gravel is be- (125) )ing supplied by, Greenburn Saud and Cautiously, to be sure, but yet with a hint strong enough to arouse hope in despairing breasts, Mayor Ernie Marks, in his inaug- ural address at the meeting of the city council last Monday night intimated that something would likely be done at an early date to improve the police station. "I believe," he said, "that this council will agree with me that this department of our city needs immediate attention. There can be no denial of the fact that our police force is badly in need of proper quarters and something will likely be dome at an- early date to improve our police station and thereby assist in no small degree the rendering of efficient service by our police force." Improvements have been 'talked of for the past five or six ycars but as time rolls by the old police station gets more decrepit and more dilapidated than ever.

As for the cells in which sus- pected wrong-doers are forced to spend a night pending their ap- pearance before a magistrate, they are small, ill-lighted and ill-ven- tilated and deserve the description of "filthy dungeons," applied by a local lawyer. ' They have been made the permanent Home of a horde of tiny creatures who delight in darkness, stuffiness and cramp- ed quarters and who have repeat- edly survived fumigations, insect powers and 'noxious fumes.

What the city council may do is still a matter largely of con- jecture. Capital expenditures are to be kept down to a minimum this year, it is said, but it is believed by those who know the conditions that even a comparatively small outlay could do much in providing better and more dignified quarters.

SETTLEMENT IN FELDSPAR GLASS WAGE DISPUTE Ten Men Claimed Amounts Ranging From $200 to $500 A settlement is being arranged in actions for wages brought by ten former employees against the Feld- spar Glass Co, of this city, for am- ounts varying between $200 and $500, Louis Hyman, counsel for the plain- tiffs informed The Times today. Min utes of the settlement are expected to be entered in the records of the county court at Whitby this after- noon, Yesterday the cases were proceed- ed with before His Honor Judge R. Ruddy in county court and the action of Joseph Nagy vs. the Feldspar Glass Co, was taken as first on the list. Nagy, like the nine other men, claimed wages which he declared were owing to him for work he did during the summer and fall of 1930. The case was not completed as Mr. Hyman arrived at a settlement with the = defendant company's counsel which may be used as a basis for agreement for all ten actions. Beside Nagy, the plaintiffs include John Zwarcyz, Carl English, Mike Janorski, Steve Szablic, John Szir- chaz, Tony Litwin, George Kochy, and P. Polinczuk and Joseph Belko, Mr. Hyman is representing the ten men while counsel for the defence includes the firm of Lamport, Fergu- son and McCallum, of Toronto, and R D. Humphreys, of Oshawa.

The alleys, which were warped and mar- 1ed by water, have been re-condition- ed that they are better now than ever betore and bowlers should no doubt be delighted with them. A new lighting system has been install ed at considerable cost, while the walls and ceiling have been brighten- ed with a fresh coat of paint. The conflagration, which caused damage of several thousand of dol- lars, broke out in the Oshawa Winter Gardens, a dance hall situated on the third floor above the bowling alleys, in the building owned by E. A. Lov- ell and A. Drew. The fire spread be- neath the floor of the dance hall and penetrated the bowling alley. The blaze was divcovered just alter mid- night and the firemen battled the flames for several hours before they were finally subdued. Serious damage was done to the dance hall and this is now being re- paired. The floor will be completely levelled while it is planned to enhance appearance of the hall by panelling the walls. The work is being done under the personal supervision of Mr. Drew, joint owner of the building and no contract has been let. Certain changes have been insisted upon by Fire Chief Elliott to minimize the fire hazard, and these it is understood are being carried out. Robert Fraser, who operates the Winter Gardens, intimated to The Times yesterday that he would prob- ably continue dances there this win- ter and expressed the opinion that the Winter Gardens would open again a week from Saturday night.

The report itself referred to Clifford Love, of Beacli Township pleading guilty to a charge of stealing cattle and be- ing sentenced to a term of four months in the reformatory. By an unfortunate error, however , the name in the heading appeared as Charles Love, instead of Clifford Love.

The Times tenders: its full apologies to Mr. Charles Love for this error and wishes to clear him entirely from any em- barassment he may have suffered as a result of it.
