THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1931 PAGE SEVEN MONTREAL LADY DIES, AGED 101 Mrs. Thos. 'Wilson Was Re- markably Active--Was "Tolerant in Her Views Montreal, Que.,, Feb. 25.--~The feath took place recently of Mrs. Thomas Wilson, in her 102nd year. She had been active and interested in affairs of the day until a week before. Her family will remember her as she looked on her 100th birthday, which was made a greai occasion by her family and friends. She was gowned in black velvet which provided the perfect foil for her snow-white hair and the Jing | she always wore. bi held an old fashioned con- ical nosegay edged. with a broad lace-paper ruffle and tied with 2 soft ribbon: bow, the kind of a bou- quet she might have carried to her frst dance. : In her later years Mrs. Wilson's snergy wag most unusual. She was was a member of Knox Crescent Presbyterian Church and an active member of the Women's Auxiliary. She regularly attended the monthly meetings of this group. In her home, Mrs. Wilson spent her time in doing fine lace work, in which she was highly skilled, and in lis- tening to the radio when she thought there wae something wort. hearing. She very seldom listened to modern jazz which she heartily disliked. Mrs. Wilson, through her contin- ued interest in affairs of the day. had been able to form definite opin- ions on matters of general interest though they were always expressed in tolerant, good-humored fashion. She felt that present-day life was rather hectic and that people miss- ed much by trying to keep pace with modern times She felt that the world was getting worse in many respects, though she never had any critical remarks to make concerning young people of the pres ent day. She was always happy and contented, fond of the society of her friends and attributed her excellent health to her love of out- door life. MANITOBA GOOD ROADS' ASSOC IS CONTINUING Organization Will Promote Safety' on Provincial Roads 'Winnipeg. Dishandment of the! Manitoba Good Roads' Association, which appeared likely at one per iad, was voted down i the annual session of the organization recently. @ association, which bas made a fant and successful struggle for improved highways, will continue to function for another year at least. . Its chief work will lie in the promotion of safety on provin- cial highways. ¢R. D. Waugh, presidént, declar- in an address that the 22-year old association 'has achieved its aims and usefulness, he believed, was ended. He declared that when the organization was formed in 1909 not a road existed in Manito- ba outside of a few towns anda er ties. To-day, he claimed, the as- sociation could view with satisfac- tion excellent highways--the fruit of their battles. "The decision was left to the con- vention and the members went on record as favoring continuance of the association's activities. Instead of agitating for bigger and better roads the members now will work for promotion of safer and saner driving by motorists. KITTEN PINED TO DEATH .Winnipeg.--Frank Morris' pet kitten has died of a broker heart. It pined itself to death, veterinary doctors inferred, because Frank left it for a while to tour Europe with the Manitoba 'Varsity Graas hockey team. "When Frank left Winnipeg with the Grads to compete in the cham- nship hockey-series at Prague, e petted his kitten a fond fare- well. Weeks went by and "Pat" apparently gave up hope of seeing his hero-master again. The feline refused to eat, sitting quietly in the hallway, watching the door, until he died, OPPOSE FORMING COMPANY TO CARRY ON MIXED FARMING Scheme Would Provide Disastrous Competition For Independent Farmers Edmonton, Alta.~-There are sev- eral objections to the proposals of the $5,000,000 company formed in 'the east to finance mixed farming on a large scale, Hon. George Hoad- ley, provincial minister of agricul- ture declared here recently. Farmers who are financed in this way will go on the market, the min- ister predicted, in competition with those purchasing livestock with their own means and will thus pro- vide destructive competition and unnecessary expense to tnose financ- ing independently, In addition, the company may find itself sup- orting farmers who cannot pay their obligations, the minister stated. As an example of the danger of the adoption of mixed farming as a universal policy, hog production which was down 14 per cent in 1930 may easily be 300 per cent. greater in 1931, he forecast. | OFFER PRIZES FOR SOAP SCULPTURES Edmonton, Alta.---Prizes total- ling $2,850 and an art scholarship will lure many Canadian and Amer- ican sculptors into the seventh an- nual competition for small sculp- tures in white soap.

Elimination of Fac- tories Act in Alberta Calgary, Alta. Independent oil operators of Turner Valley, Alber- ta's promising oil field, are opposed to the eight-hour day and are urg- ing elimination of the Factories Act, which }imits the working time, Representatives of the operators in. tend interviewing the Alberta gov- ernment, seeking abolishment of the act. They also wish the five per cent. government tax on ol} production adjusted. , Opposition to the limiting of working hours is on the grounds that the work is of such a seasonal nature as to proclude fixed labor schedules. Adjustment of the gov- ernment royalty is asked, because the operators declare the five per cent. rate is burdensome on young companies and should not be appli- ed until they have at least reached the dividend-paying stage. It cancellation of the five per cent. rate cannot be obtained the operators ask that it be lowered to two per cent. "The perfect man" has been des- cribed by United States tailors.

Norman Suffered With Pains in Her Back. Simcoe, Ont., Apr. 8 (Special) -- That relief can be obtained from all kinds of Kidney disorders by using Dodd's Kidney Pills is again evidenced by the following testi- onial 'received from Mrs. John . Norman, a well known resident of this place. She writes:-- "I used to suffer with my back a great deal. I have used Dodd's Kidney Pills and they helped me. The pains in my back have gone. I cannot speak too highly of them and strongly recommend them for Backache." Dodd's Kidney Pills strike right at the seat of the trouble, the kidneys. They are no cure-all, just purely and simply a kidney rem- edy. They relieve the work of the heart by putting the kidneys in shape to strain all the impurities out of the blood. Pure blood car- ried to all parts of the body means new health all over the body. COURT WADES INTO INTRICATE MAZE BEFORE DECISION Railway Technicalities And Psychology Included in Damage Suit Saskatoon, Sask-- Intricate workings of track-laying, calcula- tions in higher mathematics and a little psychology were included in a damage action in court here r®cent- ly. The varied testimony wags all rendered before Fred Klapischuk received $9,739 damages from the Canadian Pacific railway for crip- pling of his left leg 20 months ago. On June 20, 1929, Klapischuk was injured while employed by the railway company as a 'bolter" in track-laying operations near Per- due. Sask. A track-laying car roll- ed onto his leg whem his foot caught under a rail. Klapischuk commenced action against the railway. Experts on air brakes, tracklaying and other railway matters were brought here from Winnipeg to give testimony. After two days' argument the jury awarded the plaintiff damages, a- greeing unanimously that the brakeman on the construction train "did not respond quickly enough when sensing the danger." CONTEST INDIANS' RIGHTS {© Fort Smith, Alta.--The Indians' fright to trap beaver is contested by | the white hunters of this northern (part of Alberta, At a protest {rieeting held recently a number of {the white trappers declared it was janfair to deny the white man the rivilege of trapping the beaver while Indians and half-breeds were allowed 15 beavers each season. The meeting also protested against the original Canadian be. ing allowed to trap on other lands than their own, causing overlap- ping of trap lines. The Indians, they argue, can journey anywhere in his hunt for northern animals while the white men must pay a heavy license fee for the first fou: years and go to great expense ip making trails and cutting his own lines. Few Indians, they declare do any of this work for themselves, TAUGHT SCHOOL FORTY-TWO YEARS Saskatchewan Woman Goes Over 80,000 Miles in Horse and Buggy Grenfell, Sask.--There are thos: | rare instances of long service that] sometimes startle and this is one, concerning Mrs. Edna Anderson, of teh Edgewood district between Gren- fell and Broadview, who has taught school for 42 years. The remarkable feat of teaching 28 years in one school, driving a horsc and buggy more than 80,000 miles to and from school during this period and never missing one teaching day, is a record no other woman in Can- ada can claim, residents of this com- munity believe. Mrs. Anderson was born in York- shire, England, 'and came to Can- ada in 1883, settling at Broadview. She started teaching in 1889. A bou- quet was tendered her recently to signalize the event. MISTAKE MONGREL PUP FOR A FOX, BOYS GIVE CHASE Discover Their Mistake ---- Estevan, Sask. --"When is a fox not 4 tox?" "When it's a mongrel pup," sighed Harry Wilson and Ernic D'- arcy fo the 'Albany district. Six months ago a valued black fox escaped from its pen on the Nick Tatley farm at Hitchcock and when Harry and Ernie espied a dark animal prowling about the fields adjoining their house immediately they had visions of reaping a rich reward for return of the fisslng fortune. Leaping to their horses the boys gave chase. Twenty miles over the bald reaches of the priarie their quarry led them, dodging and circling their weary, mounts gave sigus citizens don't. of playing out.. Finally, however, the "fox" man for cover through the open door eof the section house at Lamp- mar. ad No chances were taken that the "fox" would duplicate his escape of last August. He was anchored with a heavy logigng chain and the door of the Buil ing securely fastened with a heavy lpgging chain and the door was notified that his prized posses~ sion had been found, Next morning Tatley's delight and the jubilation of the young "fox" hunters did a quick fadeout when Tatley exclaimed "That's no fox; "that's a mongrel pup." CRIMINALS SHOULD BE SUBJECT FOR MEDICAL CLINICS Western Judge Thinks Most Wrongdoers Are Sick in Body or Mind Winnipeg, . Man,-- Establishment of medical clinics for the cure of physical and mental {illness in criminals is advocated by Judge L. St. G. Stubbs, of the Manitoba judiciary. Medical clinics for criminals should be added to the legal sys- tem, Judge Stubbs declared in a recent address here. Prevention of crime and the sal- vage of the lawbreakers is of par- amount importance today in place of the traditional terrorism of an- cient days. Many criminals are found to | be so because they are sick in body or mind. The next great step in the treatment of crime, therefore, said the judge, is the edtablishment of medical institutions for the study and cure of such diseases. SCHNEIDER CUP TEAM HAS SPLENDID HEAD IN ORLEBAR Squadron Leader Holds the World's Air Speed Record London.--Squadron Leader Au- gustus H. Orlebar, holder of the world's air speed record of 357.7 miles an hour, and captain of the British team 'in the last Sihneider Trophy Contest, is designated to fill equally important duties next time. His great experience in the handling of racing seaplanes - and his personal efficiency and popular!- ty are thus secured to help Great Britain -In her defence of the Tro- phy this year against the challenges of France and Italy. Those who spent long days at Calshot Air Station at the time of the last contest in 1929 will al- ways retain a vivid mem bar, an astonishingly thin, fit man with a pleasant hollow-cheeked face given to smiling. His voice, though high-pitched and "finicky," obviously expressed the wishes and thoughts of an exceptionalls intelli- gent and determined personality and none of the pilots in the team ever demurred to his friendly yet decisive command. His appear- ance, with thin, aquiline features, called up inevitably thoughts "birdmen," while some discerned a fanciful likeness to the Red Indian chiefs of adventure story In 1929 Orlebar flew every ma- chine himself on test, not when they were delivered but after each modification during the pre- race period at Calshot., This time he is not likely to fly; his duties ill lie rather in organization and nperintendence of the activities of the High Speed tcam. FORMOSA WOMEN SHOKED YEARS AGO Modern Maids Are Not First to Use Tobacco, Pro- fessor Claims Toronto.-----Smoking for isn't a new development. It was enjoyed by women of Formosa 2,600 years ago," and they didn't use half measure either. That pan- acea for modern ills, the cigarette, hadn't been heard of then, and wo- en shared with their husbands the leasure of a pipe. Thug Profes- sor Clarence Griffith, of the Imper- ial College, Tokio, speaking at Whitney House and School Club, exploded the present-dey theory that smoking by members of the fair sex was a shocking twentigtn century custom. And even more startling, Professor Griffith stated that head hunters of Formosa were model citizens, honest, industrious, capable, with strict marriage laws which they observed carefully, and women only one vice, they collected heads. The speaker declared that Brit- ons know how to behave when they go abroad, but Canadians and U.S. He spokke briefly of Japan, which he knows 'well. having lived in Yokohama from age of two, and asserted that the beauty of the Land of the Rising Sun was greatly exaggeraten.

TORONTO'S SOCIAL LIFE TIRING TO ~ WESTERN WOMAN Thinks City Folk Make Poor Use of Leisure Hours Hdmonton, Alta.--XKathleen Red- mond Strange, writing from Toron- to to the local press, tells of the ef- fect the city has upon one long a dweller on the prairies. 'One of the most trying things about city life to me now is the constant necessity, and the time it takes, for followng the round of social life, talk about the drudgery of farm 1fe.
