Tresidder, representative. ; ok « MONDAY, APRIL 13th, 1981 THE NEW COMPANY TAKES OVER The gas department of the Oshawa Public Utilities Commission has ceased to exist. On Friday, the Ontario Shore Gas Company, formed in accordance with the terms of the ! agreement for the sale of the system, took a | possession of the gas plant and distribution § . system, and of its operation. The new 'com- ~ | pany has opened an office on Simcoe street, SBE * | in temporary rented quarters, and its officials { © are busy with the details of switching off . with the old owners, and making a fresh Ed start with the new. So far, the purchasers of the system have © © earried out everything they agreed to do, to + the very letter. . their engineers were on the job in Oshawa \ at once, after the bylaws were carried by 'the ratepayers and electors, and already I work has been going on at the gas plant. As As was previously noted, was predicted also, the Ontario Shore Gas : Company, an Ontario organization, has been incorporated, and a charter granted' to it, and the work of developing a widespread gas distribution system along the shqres of b . Lake Ontario has been inaugurated. A rp A "peace and goodwill. i' In addition to the developments in Oshawa _ it is interesting to note that the agreements * for the securing of a franchise for the dis- "tribution and sale of gas in Whitby and ~ Bowmanville are now ready for the consid- eration of councils of these municipalities and there is little doubt but that they will be passed on to the electors. Naturally, in view of 'the different conditions in these towns, the agreements are somewhat differ- ent from those adopted in Oshawa, but the terms under which the company asks for the privilege of distributing gas in these munici- palities are very favorable to the towns, and, if accepted, will help them to a great extent } Buin an industrial way, as well as giving dom- estic 'consumers a service which should be greatly appreciated by them. These are two more links which should, in the near future be added to the chain of municipalities using gas manufactured in the Oshawa plant, and since the experience of Oshawa with the offi- cials of the company has been so satisfactory the people in these towns can make no mis- take by linking up with the same concern, and sharing in the great development which lies ahead. WARRIORS AND PEACE The Church parade and service held on Sunday under the auspices of the Oshawa Branch of the Canadian Legion was an im- pressive affair. It was the largest parade of its kind seen here in many years, and it demonstrated that the further back war days slip into the memories of those who took part in it, the greater seems to be the call to them to reunite to remember, in solemn reverence, their comrades who did not return, and to renew the pledges of al- egiance to the high cause which called them overseas to face the turmoil and strife of i the world's most ghastly battlefields. It was striking, too, that the keynote of that impressive seryice was the note of ese men have demon- strated to the world that they are not afraid of war, that they will not shirk the respon- sibilities of war when their country or ther empire is in danger. But their attitude to- day is that, knowing what war means, know- ing all ifs horrors and its terrible situations, they are pledged to stand fast for peace-- not peace at any price, such as the pacifists desire--but peace attained through the set- * tlement. of disputes by the sane and sensible - method of arbitration and conciliation, with- out the sacrifice of national honor and dig- nity. The veterans have chosen well in making the maintenance of peace one of their ob- Jjectives. They have a right to insist that their children and children's children shall be preserved from the horrors which they d to endure, and they are exercising this right when, at their memorial functions, they stress the importance of creating in the minds of allmankind a will to peace which. shall grow and grow until it becomes a per- manent part oftheworld's code of interna- tional conduct. 4 DEPOSITS GROWING It is a remarkable sign of the habits of fhrift which are being inculcated 'in the 'minds of the children of Oshawa that during 'the months of January and February, the months in which the depression in the city was at its worst, there was an increase of rer $8,000 in the amount of deposits in the ny Bank which is operated through the "public schools. Were one to judge from the tales of woe and depression which were pre- | valent about that time, it wouldhave been logical to expect a considerable decrease in the amount of money on deposit. It would have been reasonable to expect that the sav- ings of previous months would have been withdrawn to a large extent to tide over the situation. Yet nothing of the kind occurred. Instead, the total of deposits kept mounting, and over $3,000 were added to the amount standing to the credit of Oshawa school children in the Penny Bank. This is a highly gratifying state of affairs, It looks as if it has taken a period of depres- gion to 'drive home in theminds of the peo- ple the value of habits of thrift, the benefits of trying to save even a little money from week to week, even although incomes may have contracted seriously. It is perfectly true that habits of saving are more gener- ally acquired during hard times than during times of prosperity, so it is to be hoped that the lessons which have been learned in the last few months will not be forgotten, but will be welded into the normal life of the people of the community. EDITORIAL NOTES Figures talk, and the report of the im- provément in the automobile business in the Oshawa zone of General Motors of Canada, as given out by R. S. McLaughlin, sounds good in the ears of Oshawa people. The continuation of relief work in the city through the month of April is proving a great boon of some hundreds of the people of Oshawa. Vimy Week was a busy one for the war veterans of this district, but they rose nobly to the occasion by their splendid attendance at the many events which were held. Darlington township intends to make a special effort to collect arrears of taxes. Most towns, cities and other municipalities are doing that just now. The Earl of Bessborough has set a splen- did example to other wartime officers by becoming an active member of the Canadian Legion. Every time we hear a fresh blast of econ- omy talk from Ottawa, we become more and more anxious about the Oshawa Harbor appropriation, Other Editors' Comment THE SOVIET THEORY (Detroit Free Press) As a theory, communism has its merits; but as it has worked out in Soviet Russia it destroys human values in order to create material things, whereds American indusgrial demgcracy, with all its faults, at least release the energies of every member of it and places a premium on ability and diligence, THE DOMINION SENATE (E.

BITS OF VERSE 1 TOWN AND COUNTRY The country holds abounding charms, I'he pure exhilarating breeze, ihe dusty lanes that lead to farms Surrounded by the stately trees, Lhe summer sun that weaves its spells i shadows in a shady nook, the flowers in the verdant dells where swittly runs the babbling brook. I love the peaceful solitude Where I can flee from dull routine, The busy cares of life elude Lo sit in blissful peace and dream. SHll there is charm upon a street Of crowded walks, where buildings rise To such a height they seem to meet, And mingle with the changing skies, Tlie traffie's dull incessant roar, I'he myriad scintillating lights, Bright jewells enhancing all the more The fascination of the nights, I love them both~the noisy throngs In contrast to the country's quiet-- But let cach stay where it belongs, Contributing to SER by €.

VITUS DANCE AND THE EYES "Part "4" I have had several experiences with cases of this nature and invari- ably consider that the assistance of your physician should be sought and at the saute time you should be as- sured by a complete eye examina- tion that the eve and its appendages are properly functioning. When it is possible for a leakage of nerve force to so develop a ner- vous debility leading to a mental dis- turbance that may end in insanity it can be readily understood that with an artificial aid that may ren- der assistance in certain cases. This assistance used where possible in conjunction with your medical aid should make the result more certain, Even in nervous prostration and in- sanity it has been found that uncor- rected hyperonia and its attendant muscular errors has a bearing on the case deu to the excessive leakage of nerve force due to the strain, I repeat again you <" ld only be satisfied when the eyes are examined to know that the examination should be more than a mere test of vision. THAT ONE OF THE WAYS OF MAKING YOUR CITY MORE PROSPEROUS IS TO SPEND YOUR MONEY AT HOME. The stores of your city are well stocked with gcods that wil! meot your every requirement and at prices consistent with quality, The best way to find out about new styles, new goods and new prices, is to road the advertise- ments. Advertisements throw a powerful light to guide you as to where and what to buy, You should not have to be in- duced and urged to spend the monty you earn in the community that supports you. It is your plain duty to buy at home, When you buy at home you see the goods you buy and your local merchants stand behind the goods they advertise. IF YOUR COMMUNITY IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU TO LIVE IN, IT IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU TO SPEND YOUR MONEY IN. KEEP YOUR MONEY (CIRCU- LATING AT HOME! KEEP BIG ORCHARD BEARING STEADILY Proper Care and Feeding Prove Sound Policy in Aurora Orchards Good care, which includes pro- per pruning, spraying, fertilizing, and a modified system of cultiva- tion--13 meking a success of one of the largest commercial orch- ards in Ontario, The Aurora Orchards Limited at Aurora, On- tario, comprice 130 acres of roll- ing, hill land with 'a soil ranging from gravelly loam to fairly heavy clay, The trces were set out in 1912, 1913 and 1914, and for the most part are Spies, MacIntosh, Wealthy and Duchess. Until recently, the orchard was largely in clover sod, with «ccas- fonal periods of cultivation. It has been decided, however, that the trees demand more feeding, and to that end a cover crop, clov- er or buckwheat is ploughed un- der. Extra nitrogen In the form of Chilean nitrate of soda was found to be effective in promoting vigour and annual bearing. Tried first, in an experimental way about five years ago, the practice of giv- ing the trees a spring wpplication of nitrate is now followed over a large section of the orchard, Fro- fitable commercial crops have heen harvested annually for the past tive years. . The Aurora Orchards have found no difficulty in securing a good market, with the natural ad- vantage of being within easy trucking distance of Toronto. The bulk of the fruit is sold to large retail stores, either in bushel Fam- pers or in six-quart baskets, the basket proving the most popular pack for this particular demand. One of the problems has been to spread the market season over a longer 'period 'of time, and to this end the storage space at the or- chard will be increased this year. Last season the young trees car- rled a crop of 10,0000 barrels and Indications point to a very satisfac- tory yield for 1931. | HOSPITAL OPENS SNEEZE CLINIC Montreal, April 13.-~Alarmed at the number of sneezes indulged in every summer's day by hay fever sufferers, the Montreal Gen- eral Hospital is coming fo their rescue. In order to alleviate the "'a-tigh-00's"' of these unfortnnates the hospital has decided to open a hay fever clinic. Long-suffering straphangers in street 'cars, roused to a frenzy hy hay fever sufferers who are sud- denly overcome with fits of sneez- ing when packed together like sar- | Independent lead to defeat the gov- ai welcome as it is to those who are sufferers, . The General Hospital's an- nouncement comes perhaps as an answer to the claims of residents of the Gaspe Peninsula, who in sist that this locality is the one place in Canada where hay fever can be cured. "Come to Mont- real and lose your hay fever" might prove an inducing tourist- attracting slogan for the city this summer, : STOLEN CAR DRIVEN INTO HOUSE PORCH D. hy (C di Press Toronto, April 11 = After a wild chase which led the police for miles through the east end of Toronto in wake of a stolen motor car, the fug- itive. car failed to make a turn at an intersection and crashed into a brick pillar of a house porch. Arthur Fiske, driver, was thrown through the windshield and was taken under arrest to the hospital, where his con- dition is reported serious from loss of blood. Two other occupants of the car evaded the pursuing fficers. SENATOR LESSARD DIES IN EDMONTON (Canadian Press Despatch) Edmonton, April 11.--Senator P. HE. Lessard died suddenly here today. A pioneer of Western Can- ada, Senator Lessard had been a resident of the west since 1898. He was prominent in politics and business for many years and was a director in many of the city's commercial firms. He was born in Cranbourne, Que., in 1873, LABOR GOVERNMENT MEETS STIFF TEST AS HOUSE RESUMES Conservative " 'Motion of Censure May Find Gov- ernment Defeated London, April 13. -- Premier Ramgay MacDonald and his Labor Government have faced many great | political ohstacles since they came into power. Some (hey have sur-| mounted; at others they have! stumbled. But the stiffest ob- stacle of all will be the Conserva- tive motion of censure, the division | {on which will take place shortly | after parliament resumes on April | 14, after the Easter recess. Ever since the general election of 1929, which left Labor with the Inrgest party in the house, and the Liberals with the balance of pow- er, the Labor government has hung on with the support of the Lib- erals, And in the coming division, Liberal support eannot be relied upon. Possibly the Liherals will again support the government: it Is equally likely that enough Lib- orals will follow Sir John Simon's ernment. An the prime minister has indicated that defeat will prob- ably be followed by the govern- ment's resignation, or dissolution of parliament and a general elec- tion, The Conservative motion will charge the government with fail- ure to take effective measures for relief of unemployment. On such a motion the Government cannot rely upon the Independent Labor (left wing) section led by James Maxton, and of course, will ex- pect no support at all from the group under Sir Oswald Mosley, Socialist, who leit the cabinet in disappointment at its failure to adopt his drastic measures for un- employment relief, Present standing A glance at the parliamentary line-up as it stands today shows how precarious is the government's position, especially on a vote con- cerning unemployment, It is as follows: Official Labor seven Conservative .......ieeues "Georgian" Liberals ...... "Simon" Liberals ......u44 "Uncertain" Liberals «vee. Maxton L.L.P.s Mosleyites .. Independents 259 ; (4 vacant) Speculation on the outcome .of the vote, based on the lineup as given, is at present futile, The significant fact is that for the first time the measure of Liberal sup- port of the government is in doubt. Liberals Doubtful At a recent meeting the Liberal parliamentary party voted 32 to 17 in favor of continued coopcra- tion with the government; 17 members of the Liberal party in parliament were against any fur- ther cooperation with Labor. And when the Liberal parliamentary candidates met on March 26, Rt. Hon. David Lloyd George confess- ed he did not know how the Liph- eral vote would go in the coming division. "I cannot say which way we shall vote," he said. "That will depend on the parliamentary par- ty. Whichever way they decide I shall be with them. I don't think the responsibility for action should depend on a few of us. A very important' decision is to be taken and it is for.those who are claim- ing independence to help reach that decision." Premier Macdonald, when speaks in reply to the Conservative motion, will be pleading for the life of the Labor government. Af- ter his speech the Liberal members will withdraw from their benches and decide their attitude on the vote at the close of the debate. If the prime minister's. speech is suf- ficiently conciliatory, lloyd George probably will lead enough Liherals to save the government, But Mr, Lloyd George has indicated he will stick to the majority of his party. OLD MONTREAL RELIGS INTACT Apartment and Furniture of Grey Nunnery Founder Are Preserved Montreal, April 13.--A little bit of eighteenth century Montreal is tucks ed away in the heart of the modern commercial sity, its existence known to but a few. In the crypt of the Grey Nunnery are the two rooms which were those of the venerable Marguerite d"Youville, founder of the order, taken piece by piece from the former Hopital General de Montreal which she conducted down by the riverfront at what has since been named in her memory Place Youville, The room where Madame d'You- ville worked when she was Mother General where she saw- to the de- tails of administration of her charit- able undertakings up to the time of her death in 1771 is there. The beams in the ceiling, the floor itself, are the original ones, and alls her furniture is placed exactly as she set it out herself, Along one wall is a tall long desk, of stained wood. There is a little stool whereon stands her pewter drinking mug beside a water crock; a bookcase, chairs, and on a wall bracket the clock which she had brought from her own home. In the adjoining bedroom stands her bed covered with a patchwork quilt, a copy of the original which disintegrated with the passage of time, beside it a little table with her brass candlestick. On the wall is her crucifix above the prie-dieu. A marble-tonped table is at the further end of the room, and there are some chairs. In a corner stands a fine carved chest, a replica of one in the other room, In all of this, beams, flooring and furniture, there is not a nail, which may in part account for the perfect state of preservation in which it is today. The only anachronism is the electric lighting that has been instal- led, switched on from outside so that the privileged visitor may sce the rooms through a window that has been let into the wall With the passing of the old Hopi- tal General the tomb of Marguerite d'Youyille was moved to a mortuary chapel in the Grey Nunnery. Her remains rest behind a wall of polish- ed grey stone. At the base stands a bust of the founder, wearing the familiar habit and headdress of the order, A tablet bears an inscription in French, the translation of which is: "Here rest the remains of Maric Marguerite Dufrost de Lajemmerais, Widow d'Youville, founder and first superior of the Sisters of Charity of Ville Marie; born October 15, 1701, died December 23, 1771. Each day, with the exception of feast days, members of the three sec- tions of the community, the nuns, novices and the poor in their care, assemble at the tomb to make a novena. On the wall are three cop- ies of a papal decree concerning her "cause" for canonization, in French, English and Latin, Another step in her cause will be taken at Rome on June 16. Madame d'Youville was left a wid- ow in improvished circumstances at the age of 29, and devoted her life to caring for the sick, the poor and foundlings. One of her sons, Abbe Francois d'Youville is also buried in the crypt of the Grey Nunnery, like- wise two of her sisters and several of the hospitaller brothers who had conducted a hospital in Ville Marie before Madame d'Youville took charge of the work and advanced it greatly. At the time the tombs were moved from the old chapel of the Hopital General the bones of 102 of the Grey Nuns were reinterred in two graves in the crypt of the Grey Nunnery, their names being recorded in a framed list which lanes nearby. Until it became necessary to seek another burying' ground for the Grey Nuns they were interred in the crypt of the mother house. On the occasion of a funeral, the whole community, each member bearing a lighted candle, descended to the crypt to see their sister laid to rest beside their spiritual mother, Mar- guerite d'Youville. Rows of simnle wooden crosses mark the graves. Madame d'Youville was a niece of Pierre Gaultier de la Verendrye, the famous explorer, and granddaughter of the Sieur de Varennes. MOTORCYCLES LEAD TRUCKS IN DASH TO FIGHT FIRES Winnipeg, Man., April 13.-- Fleet red motorcycles which would constitute the first line of ate tack on the demon fire, will shorte ly augment Winnipeg's fire fight ing equipment, Equipped with a siren and fire extingushers, these miniature fire chariots would dart ahead of the regular fire trucks to the scene of the fire. Getting to fires quickly, it is believed the men on the mote oreycle could check up on the situation and in many cases ex tinguish fires before they make headway. Piles All Gone Without Salves or Cutting Itching, bleeding, protruding piles go quickly and don't come back, if you remove the cause. Bad blood circulation in the hemorr- holdal veins causes piles by make ing the affected parts weak, flab. by, almost dead. Salves and cute ting fail because only an internal medicine can actually correct these conditions. Dr. J. 8S. Leonhardt discovered a real internal Pile remedy. After prescribing it for 1,000 patients with success in 960 cases, he named it HEM-ROID. Jury & Lovell says one bottle of HEM-ROID Tablets must end your Pile misery or money back. "He Was Left An Income Of $100 a Month for Life" A man said, "If only somebody we didn't know would die and leave us a million dollars!" And his wife replied "Yes, or even somebody we did know, and only half a million!" It is a favorite day dream to "wish" that some remote relative we never heard of would remember us in his will, and that the good news would be announced by the postman on his very next visit, Yes, it would be nice to have the postman call every month at the same time, and leave a cheque for $100. Very welcome now, of course, but how much more so later on, when our energies begin to flag; say when we reach age 50, 55 or 60. Just when we begin to feel like easing up and letting the younger people have their way, and the job. Of course, if a man or woman has wbout twenty thousand dollars well invested, au income of One Hundred Dollars a month can be secured right away. The great majority of people, how ever, cannot command any such capie tal sum, nor is it mecessary if one wishes to plan now for the income to be delivered some time in the future.
