THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, JANUARY 19, '1931 . PAGE EIGHT PRAISES PEOPLE OF NEWFOUNDLAND Natural Ingenuity Fully De- +" veloped in Race of Heroes Pe Gas | _ St. John's Nfld.--The trait of na ural ingenuity is more fully devel- es in the people of Newfound- land than in the natives of any oth- ari country, declares H. F. Shortis writing in the Evening Telegram ou "The Inborn Genius and Heroism of the Newfoundlander." The writer refers to the manner in which the .. tréws of ten vessels, driven off the toast a year ago in a terrific gale brought their craft to various ports, or were rescued after many hard- - ships, as evidence that as a people Newfoundlanders have no superiors in coping with sudden and unfor- seen emergencies. And he: lists a score or so of rescues at sea, car- riled out by captains and crews in the elder days, to testify that hardi- hood and courage were not con- serned chiefly with self-preserva- ) "Many causes have been assigned lor that remarkable gift of plan- ning, designing and completing with ' 'which every Newfoundland fisher- man is endowed," he writes. "Some attribute it to environment, others to isolation, and still others to their necessities. It may not be far oft the mark to say that mill these causes together. contribute * their share in 'making him what he un- doubtedly ije--a natural architect. He has no knowledge of technique, the science of angles and their de- grees are mysteries to him. 'I speak mow of the generation fast passing away---the old pioneers --the men who designed and built the staunchest and most graceful vessels that ever floated on the waters of our noble bays. Those were the men who went into the forest, hewed down the trees, brought them to the seashore and fashioned them into ships capable to withstand the fiercest storms of the Atlantic and to battle with the icefloes. Anyone visiting the prin- cipal or even the ordinary outport must be struck with the many fine buildings to be seen. Externally they present a beauty of design and symmetry of finish which one would never expect from men who had no opportunity of training the mind or eye in architectural science. "One great mystery in connec- tion with this natural constructive power of our people is the amount they accomplish with the minimum of tools... Their stock is usually a hatchet and saw and a ne or two. These with a rule and square con- stitute a fishermen-carpenter's out- Hn." Life Insurance Day Why not a - nes ho presen.

Name (Mr, Miss) Address Mrs, of your new form entitled "My Per- Remarking that the deeds end daring of Newfoundlanders "have: from time immorial heen allowed to go unrecorded," the writer turns from the passing of the home-built clippers and 'the coming of 'the steamers to a brief sketch of a few of the Ancient Colony"s sea heroes and the rescues in which they were concerned. For saving the crew of a German vessel in a heavy storm, the late Captain William Fitzgerald in the Rose of Towridge received a gold watch with a bust of the Kaiser in relief on the back. Captain Joyce in the Kestrel rescued the crew: of the Busy Bee and received due rec- ognition. In 1865, Captain Pum- phrey in the Glide took off the ice the crew of the Brisk, who had been thirteen days on the wreck. Mas- ses for the souls of five men driven offshore while salving a wreck at Trepassey, were being said when the five walked over the hill safe and sound. They had been taken aboard by Captain William Hennes- sey in the brig Belle. Like instances are almost innum- erable, but the one rescue unequall- ed in the annals of Newfoundland was consummated by Captain Wil- liam Jackson, famous seal- killer, who on October 9, 1867, saved 27 men, women and children {rom death by his own efforts at Spotted Island, Labrador. Time and again he swam to the wreck and returned to land, battling with the turbulent cold water of that coast. The job a youth with flaming eyes bearing a banner flaunting the device, "Excel- sior" Old age and white beards were no longer dignified; today everyone wished to look as young as he could contrive to look. "We are not given time in which to die," the speaker objected. "We are given time in which to live. Time is the youngest thing in the universe. The past is gone and the future is not yet come. We live not in scc- onds but in heart-beats. Time is as fresh as the morning dew." BAN ON PLAYING IN INTERNATIONALS LIFTED London~A a rccent mecting of the first and second divisions of the English soccer league steps were taken to quash the ban which pre- vented Irish, Weish and Scottish in- ternational players competing in in- ternational matches, when the Eng- lish teams to which they are attach- ed had an erigagement, The ban was imposed by the English league at its last annual meeting, The first and division clubs recommended all Irish and Welsh internatoinal matches be played on a week day before the end of November. The Englamd and Scottish match, however, will be played on a Saturday. The net gates of the matches will be divided be- tween the four national associations.

Pd The letter created keen tion among male' students at the university to see who would be the lucky seven men to correspond with their fair cousins overseas. It was signed by one of the girls desiring to correspond and addressed to a central stlident organization on the campus, as follows: "l beg to bring to your notice a letter sent from this college on May 26 which was answered June 26 say- ing that you would write again giv- ing me the names of seven men stu- dents who wish to correspond with seven students here, This second letter has not yet afgpeared and 1 | should be glad if you would tell whether it is possible or not."

"Until 1917, nothing was known experimentally of sex in mushrooms, but now it is known that like other plants and animals, they all display it," concluded Prof, Buller. 'FATHER TIME' IS ERRONEOUS TITLE Traditional "Expression Is Entirely Wrong, Says Ganon Shatford Montreal --In the old days a kiss without a monstache was considered as dull as an egg without salt, but the girls have changed, Canon A. P. Shatford said, addressing the Kiwan- is Club and their wives; the modern girl probably considers moustaches unsanitary--and the beard whose fength was once a manifestation of the man's wisdom, is of course utter- ly demoded. ; The changing technique of oséula- tion, however, was not the subject of Canon Shatford's address. He spoke on the rejuvenation of Father Time, suggesting that the pictorial representation of an old gentleman with a scythe and an hour glass was frightfully out of date and depress- AT ROTARY CLUB (Continued from page 1) surprised that this has not been done long ago.

Policy of Economy Waring the Rotarians that the yumeil would have to mark time nd adopt a policy of real economy this year, Mayor Marks said that ha hoped that before the end of the year the council would be able tn show substantial progress for Te year 1931. The aldermen who were presen' ner sang the anthem "Lead Thou Us n," golo "In the Heart of Jesus" was sung by Miss Gladys Pep- piatt, of TFaronto. & The male Guartette of High Park Baptist Church, Toronto, assisted the choir at the evening service and Mr. E. W, Ayton, soloist of the same Church, led the song service and rendered a solo. Special services in connection with the opening of Calvary Baptist Church are being held each evening of this week except Saturday, with special preachers, and singers, $2,200 Needed The Chairman of the Building Committee, A, R. Alloway, announc- ed yesterday that the total cost of the new building and equipment was less than $3,000, of which over $800 had already been subscribed and paid in by members of the congregation, This, of course, does not include the site and house previously on the pro- perty and now being used as a church annex. The cost of the pro- perty was $5,500 which amount is spread over a number of years, The immediate need, therefore, is tor the sum of $2,200 to complete the pay- ment for the building. The Chair- wan of the Building Committee ex- plained that much of the labor had Leen contributed and very generous treatment had been received from the suppliers of lumber and other materials, for all of which he ex- pressed the sincere thanks of the committee and congregation. It is doubly shocking to read that women and children formed part of the mob which burned a negro to death in Missouri. People who could look on at such a horror are, surely not far removed from those who could bring it about.--Toronto Mail and Empire.

An Apt Comparison \n interesting comparison of the work done by the congregation of | Calvary Baptist Church, with the ef- | . that was to be erected by his son, Solomon, was made by Rev. Mr. Bing- ham. David had planned in his own mind what the temple should be like: "It must be exceeding magnificent, of fame and of glory." The plan had been given to him from God. To the end that the temple might attain' this magnificence, he had set aside mil- lions of dollars worth of gold, silver, other precious metals and precious stones, the finest timbers, and large quantities of other materials, from the funds of the kingdom. Then, when even this was not enough, he had drawn heavily upon his own per- sonal reserves, sacrificing heavily for the great cause. Much of Sacrifice "There is much of sacrifice in this building. The people of this congre- gation have given of their time and their money to make its erection a reality! They have used a carefully prepared plan. But this material church is only the scaffolding of the building that is the church of Christ. It is the life within the church, the work done, that makes it really a church of Christ," the speaker de- clared. A church should model its work absolutely after Christ's pattern, which was that it be a body of re- deemed children of God, drawing oth- ers into fellowship by manifesting the love of God. A church should be a place of meeting with God, a place for the manifestations of God, and a place that would draw people to God, he declared. Need for Workers Referring to the need of church workers in the mission fields, Rev. Mr. Bingham declared "When the call' eame for young men to protect an earthly kingdom, they flocked to the colors. But the call is continu ally. coming for workers for Christ's Kingdom, yet hardly a church has sent as many as ten of its member- ship across the seas to work for Christ. If the gospels preached in this church in such a way that this call for workers is heeded, this con- gregation can be a world-wide bless- 1 i Evening Service : The Church was filled to capacity | at the evening service, when Rev.
