THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1931 PAGE SEVEN can CHALLENGE ISSUED TO FACTORIES AT SAFETY MEETING & SRR (Continued from page 1) man; Shean Trews and Jingle Bells by Jean Gay Hendrie, and the cens tury-old' dances, the Minuet and Gavotte,' by Jean Gay Hendrie and Pearl 1gy cae, Reynold's orchestra provided music during the gvening, Among those on the platform were m@mbers of the committee, represonting the principal induse tries that arvanged the meeting, They were. DM, Douglas, Ontario} Malleable Iron Goi W. Gi. Bunker, Fittings; 14d A. L. Totland, W. B, Phillips Qo, Ltd; and W. Gamble, of the Oriental Textiles, Two othe er members of the tommittee, A. Th ¥. Darton, of the Robson Leather Co., and "W. R. Gelkie, of the Ped. lar People, Ltd, were unable to be present, ; If hig address. Gol. MeCormack pointed; out that, in' many phases of lite, it way teamwork that counted, and he deolired that this was true in the matter of safety, By co- operation between' every organiza- tion in. the city, Oshawa last year had bean so succéssful in a cam= paign for fire prevention that it stood fiyet in ¢itios of 100,000 popu- lation of lee, and he suggested that the city organize itsell into an ac- cident 'prevention body. "Let us challenge the cities of Ontario to get intr mn contest to prevent acels dents,' he sald. Introducing tho chief speaker of the evening, I'. G. Lovett, an inspec- tor forithe Industrial Accident Pre. vention. Association, accepted Mr. MecCorfack's challenge on behalf of other cities of Qntario. Speak- Ang ofithe work of the Accident Prevention Association, he said that it'\vas an emplowers' organiza~ tion organized to save life and limb and the employers' money paid out in conipensation ussessments. "The safety dnspector is your friend," he declarad to the workmen. "The sategulirds he advises are for your protection. But we must remember that only about 25 percent of acci- dents ire preventable by mechani- cal means and that the other 76 percent occur through carelessness and thoughtlessness." That the grief and heartache suf. fered by the victim and his depen- dents far outweigh the monetary loss caused by industrial accidents, was the message of Walter H. Dar. Ing, Mimself blinded in an explo sion while at work. "Tlie money cost has been the main thought associated with acel« dents, To the foreman it meaus a break In routine; to the superinten- dent, a broken cog; and to other officials, increased overhead, and training of new personuel,'" Mr. Darling said. 'I cannot help but think it would be better it this money were gpent on constructive work, The. answer to this problem, he continued, i¢ unity, harmony and co-opésation. "Let your machin. ery be of the most improved type, along with sanitation and ventila- tion, Your problem may be costs, but the answer fee 'In education of the workman along safety lines, and reduction in costs will be auto- matically solved." Being an accident victim himself, Mn Darling sald he could meet ems ployer and employe on common grounds, Speaking personally, hé told of how, just at a time when tha future appeared brightest to him, he suffered the loss of his sight, and after seven operations duping three years' suffering, his father and mother died, which he attributed to strain of worry over his condition, With this tragedy as an incentive, he vowed to utilize hig efforts in accident preventive education, "A physcan can allay the vetim's sufferings with a few drops of co- caine, but no doctor can relieve the heartache of your loved ones. Keep fresh in your minds this great cost," the speaker udvised. 'Ninety-five percent of aceidents are duo to care- lesgness, How goon are you, through lack of education, going to let my story he one of yours?" - aan BOARD OF WORKS REPORT CAUSE OF MUCH DISCUSSION » (Continued from page 1) this way exactly what the board wads asked to do,~to investigate and report as to the copt, Ald. 8. W. Jackson again pointed out that Mr. Robgon did not want to 'sell his property, und t the only way to acquire it was by arbi tration. Ald. Boddy sald that the chief the pro argument against that of cost, and of "works could bring in a report on' that, it could he dealt with in a few mifutes. There were two different schemes, and he suggested that the committee give a report on the cost of both of these, y « Ad. ¥. Jackson said the board of works know the cost of the dlterns. tive scheme, and that it ~ was high. ; Ald, 8, Jackson cited the figures of the options on the properties ifl- volved in the second scheme, on the east side of Mary street and 'on Wood street, the options on the pro= perties involved alone amounting to $17,300, of De 5 | Aor LHKTURDS REHEDT | table lax itd, ; th pleasant NR toe pal siright. yd y Vegstable Laxative, t~tomorrow Get 8 Ze box, t The All. posal was that if the beard | Ald, Morris questioned it it was really fmportant that Mary streeu be straightened, "We are here on a program of strict economy," he sald, "and in my opinion this is not the year to do it: There are no more men using the corner than in other years. Perhaps there are more children, but they could be sateguarded. As Mr. Robson re- fuses to negotiate, thore 1s only one alternative, and the price of that is prohibitive at the present time." Ald. Caunt said that it assistance could be secured from tke governs ment he might be in favor of the plan, otherwise he would have boards erected restricting the speed of vehicles at this corner to six miles an hour, as a safety measure, Tivo amendment of Ald. Hyman was then put to the meeting and was carried, : Investigation of Pavements The second tlause ol the report stated that the board of woris Lid completed an investigation of paves ments laid in Oshawa during the last several years, and had found them all satisfactory. 'The sams ples which had been cut from the pavements would be available for examination at the city hall until Feb. 10, these being taken from Christie street, Jarvis street, Rowe street, Wolfe street and MeGregor street, LEI SL nL -------- -- Stop that cough or cold Forget your '"flu" and go back to work, Instant relief from the most stubborn cough or cold.

Price 75 cents KARN'S DRUG STORE OSHAWA, ONTARIO Ald, Hyman moved in amendment that, in view of the letters receivea regarding some other streets in the city, that this clause be struck out, and referred to the committee of the whole council which is to inves tigate certain charges made against the works department, Ald. 8, Jackson, chairman of the board of works, sald that the report only covered work that had been done in the last five years, since that was the period of the bond on theso streets, but he was agreoable to the report being referred back. Ald, MacDonald agreed with the améndment, and sald that the res port covered only certain streets, whereas & letter had been received charging certain other streets were not satisfactory. Ald, Jackson: "I want to know what you are going to do. Are you woing to cut a channel along the whole 27 miles of streets in the cty to satisfy a few individuals? That is going too far, Must Investigate Letters Ald. Boddy: 'These letters have to be investigated. Certain paves ments have been dug up, but we have to investigate more. We might come on other streets which are not in the same condition, We have to investigate this whole ques- ton in a body, and therefore I am in favor of cutting the clause out of the report." Ald. Jackson: 'Someone will have to point out the pleces to be investi gated." Ald, Keel: "The lotter states the streets the writer is willing to take us to." Ald. Juckson: "The man who wrote that letter knows very little about pavements,' Ald, Hyman: "That is for us to decide." Ald. Jackson: "He does not know mueh about pavements. Asphalt will not stick to concrete and it 18 bound to lift and crack, even if it fs ten inches thick." Challenge Accepted Ald; Morris: "We have thrown oyt a challenge for charges, They have been made, and they have tb be dealt with by the council. There are charges that a number of streets have not bean built according to specifications and none of these are the streets tested by the board of works. These charges must be in- vestigated, and must be dealt with by committee of the whole council. Therefore, I support Ald. Hyman's amendment." Ald. Kirby also stated ho supports od the amendment, because the re- port only covered streets laid since 1927, whereupon Ald. Jackson ask- od it anyone had any claim on 'the Standard Paving Company after the five years had expired. Ald. Hawkes said he had signed the report, but would support the amendment to refer the clause to the committee of the whole, al- though he warned the aldermen that ft would be an expensive busl- ness to cut samples on all the streets. The amendment was then carried and the clause struck out, to be re- ferred to the committee of the whole council, Market Building Repairs The final clause of the board of works report was algo opposed, but was finally adopted after a long dis. cussion, an amendment to refer it back to the committee being defeat. ed. It provided for the expondi- ture of $300 on alterations to the market building to provide neces sary storage space for the board ot works, Ald. MacDonald asked for some enlightment on the purpose of this clause, and was informed that the committee proposed to put a con- erete floor in the building, so ns to store the tractor, grader and flush. er there, under cover, to mike a lace for the fire engine now stored n the market building next to the present police car garage, and to put an outside stairway to the rooms over the market building would also be used for the storage of small material. Ald. MacDonald stated that if the uilding was to be used only for he machinery, then this was not money well spent. He thought it would be wiser to spend the money to provide a storage place for the small supplies which were scattered Rll over the eity. These, he snid, needed looking after more than the grador and flusher, Ald. 8. Jackson pointed out that | the eity had no yard at all, but that the committee would do Its hest with $300 to provide accomodation for machinery worth $10,000. Ald, MacDonald sald the council was out for straight economy, and ; I not think it wis good econo- my to provide for the large machin. ery, which had been stdred outside for years, and to oyerlook the aman stores. ; $ Ald. Jackson asserted something would have to be done with the market building, as the floor was already going down. Ald, Cawker added that the alterations would provide for the small stores as well a8 the machinery, . : Wants City Yard Ald. Morris repeated the sugges- tion made at the mayor's banquet a lew weeks ago that a city yard be established to house all the eity sup- plies, and that they be properly checked In and out. This scheme, he said, was only a makeshift, and did not provide any permanent re- medy, "We are buying thousands of dollars of matorinlg every year, and I do not think we would be cpfticized if we started in a small WAY with a eity yard, even if it one ly provided an overhead shelter for the machinery." Ald, Edmund Jacksen pointed ott that this question was a hardy annual which had been brought up avery year for eight or nine years, and nothing done about it. Amendment Moved Ald. MacDonald moved an amends ment that the clause be struck out, and that the board of works bring in a report on proper storage ace comodation for all equipment and supplies. Ald. Hyman seconded the amendment, Ald. 8. Jackson: "If you are go= ing into a elty yard proposition, you are going into a big item, but if vou want to refer ft back all right, I dont think we could spend $300 to uny hetter advantage, hecause we have to spend somo money on oo.

It will gradually darken wirenked, faded or ray hair and make it soft and gloss, Orlex will not eolor the sealp, 18 not vacky or greasy and does not rub off, the market building anyway." Ald. Hawkes supported the ori: ginal clause in the report, reiterat- ing the view that it would be good business to spend $300 on this buil- ding. The amendment was then put to the vote, and was defeated, and the repott with two clauses struck out, was then adopted. COUNCIL DEBATES STREET BLOCKING (Continued from page 1) consulted on the matter at all. Ald, Hyman sald he understood the owner had made arrangements to pay for the inconvenience caused. Mayor Marks: "If some of our houses are burned down, will he pay the policies?" Ald. Boddy said one of the dis. turbing features of the matter was the destruction of trees, when the city was spending money to provide more trees for the city, and private citizens were trying to grow trees on the boulevards, Mayor Marks: "I want the publie to understand that the 1931 coun cil had nothing to do with this, The permit to move the house was granted on December last year, and it Is good for an whole year. The city council of 1931 has had nothing to do with it in any wav. ! Ald. E. Jackson: "Who gave the | permission? I was In the counell and I heard nothing about it." Mayor Marks: "The city engineer Informs me permission was given by MayorT. B, Mitchell and the for. mer chairman of the board of works," Ald, MacDonald then moved the resolution as glven above, instruct. | ing the chalrman of the fire protec | tion and city property committee to interview the owner of the house with regard to damage to trees and the fire alarm wiring system, "To the eyes of art as to the eyes of affection, the unessentials of life do not count."=Thornton Wilder, "Patience ought to be the first ate tribute of the man who loves peace." «Paul Painleve, CHANGES MADE IN | WARDS OF OSHAWA FOR ELECTIONS (Continued from page 1) No. 1; Southwest ard, No. 2: North- east 'Ward, No. 3; Southeast Warg No. 4; Cedardale Ward, No. 5, pik that the sub-division numbers start with No, 1 at the top of the North- west Ward and number consecutive- ly to No. 46, and that the bylaws making these changes be presented at the next meeting of counell, Ald. MacDonald, in opposing this step, said this was a radical change, and would mean an added expense of $600 or $600 in elections. He thought action should be withheld until a later date, and the changes not made effective this year. Ald. Boddy pointed out that the chief reason for the change was that the old method of carrying on eloctions was illegal. The 1930 council had concurred in these changes, and while it was true that election costs would be increased, yet it would provide the electors with much better facilities for vot. | ing, und would enable n much larger | vote to be polled. Ald. Hyman entirely agreed with the report from a legal standpoint, and while realizing the need tor | otonomy, said he thought the extra | expenditure would be well repald | by the larger vote. Ald, MacDonald moved an amend. ment that this clause be struck out | of the report, and that the matter | be lald over for the present, but | this amendment wag defeated, and | the clause adopted.
