DUNCAN MUNRO PREACHED SERMON Knox Church Minister Stressed Oddfellows Ideals of Love, Friendship and Truth Every lodge of the Independant Order of Oddfellows in this district was repr ted at a {al 1.0.0.F. service in Know Church yesterday afternoon, to commemorate the 112th anniversary of the founding 'of the order. Rev. Duncan Munro, pastor of the church, preached an inspiring message of faith and cour- age. The Oshawa lodges represented were Corinthian Lodge No. 61; Phoenix Lodge No. 22; Oshawa Re. bekah Lodge No. 3; Sunshine Re- bekah Lodge No. 222; and Ontario Encampment No. 11. Visiting brath- ren were also present from Whitby, Pickering, Brooklin and Port Perry. This is an annual service, held to mark the anniversary of the found- ing of the order. During the service, fitting refer- ence was made by the pastor'to the death on Saturday of Mrs. Eliza Ja- cobl, a faithful member of both Knox Church and Sunshine Re- bekah Lodge. Welcoming the members of the Oddfellows and Rebekah lodges, Rev. Mr. Munro expressed the hope that they would return, and that when that day came the superstruc- ture of the new Knox Church would be completed. He gpoke from James 2:8. "It you fulfil the royal law, ac. cording to the scriptures; thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: you do well." Great Traditions Speaking of the great traditions of the Oddfellows order, the speak- er pointed out that it had been founded 112 years ago by five men, who met together in friendship and for mutural benefit, and that now the membership was numbered above the million mark. "In this ultra-modern day, people are al- ways looking ahead and scorn those that peer into the past. But the past has a wealth of experience and tra- dition upon which we well may draw," was Rev. Mr, Munro's com- ment. But, although there was much of value in the past, we must commit ourgelves aggressively and with en- thusiasm to the tasks of the pre- sent. Although we bewail the con- ditions of industry, and are appre- hensive of the strained relationships between some of the major nations, we should remember that God's plan for the world will be carried out. "Sin and death will not al- ways triumph. The present is ours, as human instruments in the hands of the Almighty. Every difficulty should be accepted as a challenge to rise and conquer. Let us spurn the things of lower value, and con- form our lives to that 'of the peer- less, perfect life of Christ," said the speaker. There were great op- portunities in Canada today, and great prosperity lay ahead, but they would be preceded by many hard battles. Canadians should devote themselves whole-heartedly to their community's and their country's weal, he said. "There is a tragic departure in philosophic thought, that God is a blind impersonal urge operating in nature, and that Christ was just a man of his own day and age. That teaching is Satanie, and robs us of our divine birth. Jesus is one with the Father, essentially divine; he has never failed, and he never will. Trust him, and when the last call comes he will bid you welcome," Rev. Mr. Munro declared. In clos- ing, he referred to the Odfellows ideals of friendship, love and truth, and spoke of the great work that the order was doing, although few outside of its ranks knew of its ex- tent. During the service, the choir under the leadership of Robert Stacey, organist, sang "Send Out Thy Light." A baritone solo, "Sol- diers of Christ, Arise," 'was im- pressively sung by Robert Mills, WEATHER Forecasts: Lower Lake Re- pion and Georgian Bay-- strong northwest winds, fair £1 cool, frost tonight.

Was Successful Tenderer, Price Being $5,375 The contract for the construc- tion of Grace Lutheran Church building was awarded to the W. J. Trick Co. Ltd.,, At the wmeeling of the building committee 3atur- day afternoon seven tenders were received. All contractors bidding for the job are residents of Osh- awa. According to the successiul tender, the Trick Company is pledged to build the Church in ac- cordance with the plans and speci- fications, prepared by architect W. H. E, Schmalz, for the sum of $5,375.00. This offer was accepty ed as a result of the motion made by Mr. F. M. Dahmer, and second- ed by Mr. Nicolas Stire 'There was no dissenting vots to the mo- tion when called. It is not likely that building op- erations will begin within the next few weeks since the negotiations with the Church Extension Depart- ment of the Ontario District for the loan of money his not been completed. The executive board of the district is to meet in Kit- chener on May 6th, to which date the details of the Oshawa Mission Building have been deferred. For the members of Grace Luth- eran congregation the awarding of the contract for the comstruction of its place of worship, marks an event of great importance. In 1928, when the Mission was opeu- ed, the Welsh Parlors vere se- cured as the place of worship. For the past two years the Banquet room in the Masonic Temple bas been used on Sunday mornings for the Sunday School and Public Worship. 'When, in 1929 the congrega- tion purchased the church site at 150 Alpert street, it had in mind the plan to own a parsonage and church side by side. So it seemed an act of wisdom to buy a house situated on a large lot, move the house to the south half of the loi, thus leaving the north half as the church site. However, the church will not be attached to the parsonage, but both buildings will be independent, being separated by the driveway. It is hoped that the new church will be ready for occupation in the beginning of September if the work can be started in May. LITTLE THEATRE 1931 SEASON IS Toronto Players Present Play at Last Meeting of Club for the Present Season The curtain went back on the stage at Rotary Hall, on Saturday evening for the final performance of the Oshawa Little Theatre for the season of 1930-31. The play staged was "Tweedles" a comedy farce by Booth Tarkington and Harvey L. Wilson. The players were from the dramatie society of St. Clemens An- glican Church, Toronto. Three acts of clever comedy with Paul M. Thorneloe, playing the dif- ficult role of Julian Castlebury, the "not altogether rational son" of a wealthy family, provided one of the most pleasant evenings ever pre- sented before Little Theatre pal- rons. Besides playing the leading role, Mr. Thorneloe, directed the entire performance. Playing him, as the demure neice of the cold and unemotional, Mrs, Albergon was Mrs. J. E. Worth, Winsora Tweedle, The part of Mrs. Albergon was play- ed by Miss Kathleen Wardell. Mr. Wilfred R. Huston as Mr. Tweedle, Winsora's father was admirable in his role as the simple good living village eitizen. Mr. R." A, Bates as Philemon, the village constable, al- ways ready to make "confiseations" added greatly to the humour of the performance. Roger R. Thornloe, acted as Winsora's brother, Am- brose, Mr. and Mrs. Castlebury, wealthy summer guests at the resort wera, Miss Anne Wallwin and Mr. D. 8. Hause. Miss Geraldine Nelson was Mrs. Ricketts, a collector of antinues. The play contained a simple plot centered around Winsora Tweedles (Continued on page 2) $ CLOSED WITH PLAY BRITISH BUDGET PROPOSES TAXES ~ ONLAND VALUES No Increase in Income Tax-- Estimated Deficit for the Next Year Placed at $186,- 830,000 (Canadian Press Despatch) London, April 27--Rt. Hon. Phil- lip Snowden, chancellor of the ex- chequer, today presented in a tense. ly anxious House of Commons, the 1931-32 budget which shows how the nation's finances stand. Mrs. Snowden kept an eye on him from the ladies' gallery and next to her was a doctor and a nurse, for the "iron chancellor" is a sick man, Only a few days ago he underwent a serious operation. Prolonged ap- plause and cheers greeted him from all over the House. The chancellor foreshadows con- siderable debt conversion operations during the coming year. Provisions would be made, he said, to cover a considerable part of last year's de- ficit of approximately $116,880,000, from ordinary sources. Income Tax Unchanged There will be no increase in the in the standard rate of income tax, he said. By arrangement with the Bank of International Settlements, he said, he would appropriate a hun- dred million of the one hundred and sixty-five million foreign exchange account. This fund is commonly called the dollar exchoge account and is kept in New York. "I have come to the conclusion," he said, "to increase the duty on oil as from tomorrow by two pence." his increase would make the petrol duty sixpence, instead of four pence as at present, While there would be no increase in.the standard rate of income tax, certain sections of income tax pay- ers would lose the concession of paying in equal semi-annual instal- ments, the chancellor said. They would pay three-quarters of the tax on January first next. with the sec- ond instalment of one quarter pay- able on June 1, 1932. This would give the treasury an extra quarter of the year's revenue--about fifty million dollars---within the finan- cial year. It was his intention, he said, to initiate a scheme for taxation of land values at the rate of one penny to the pound on capitalized value. The preliminary valuation of land to this end is likely to take two years. Commentators on the speech are predicting this scheme, to which the House of Lords is opposed al- most to a man, will lead to endless political controversy and perhaps to a series of parliamentary crises.

Assistance Ex- pires on April 30 -- Last Week's Payroll Was $3,- | 142 The relief pay on Saturday mor- ning totalled $3,142, and 149 men received cheques according to the | city engineer's department. This ig just $400 more than the pay of one week ago, and is nearly $1, 400 higher than the previous pay, although it is 3200 less than the record pay of $7.448.50 meds en February 28. Three more men were working last week than dur- ing the previous week the average pay of 149 men was $21.10, a high average. An efiort was being made during the week to bring the various works as near completion as possible, as the gov- ernntent's assistance officially ends on Thursday. April 30, City En- gineer Smith says that he expects that nearly all of Oshawa's pro- jects will be finished by that date. The job which is giving work to the greatest number of men js the laying of water maina, of which the one on Simcoe street south, to gerve the harbor area, is the chief one. A total of 51 men were em- ployed on this jo, which is well on to completion. . The laying of a pavement on Bloor street east, and the grading of this street, is engaging 39 men. This pavement, which is 24 feet wide, will connect the end of the present pavement on Bloor street east, with Ritson road. The clear well at the pumping station is being rushed to comple- tion, and 29 men are heing given employment. The laying of an- other section of the St. Julien out- fall sewer is employing 14 men, while installing of walks and drives at the Coulter plant gave work to 9 and grading of Alexan- dra Park cwmployed 7. memorate Anniversary of Founding First Cargo of Coke Will Arrive In Oshawa Thursday The first cargo of coke ever to arrive at Oshawa by boat, is expect- ed here on Thursday of this week. The Times learned this morning from Harry Mallett, of Mallett Bros. Mr Mallett confirmed report that 5,000 tons of coke will be brought into the Oshawa harbor, the first shipment to arrive Thursday. "Is it possible to furnish coke this coming year at a lower price by means of water borne transporta- tion?' Mr. Mallett was asked. He replied that the saving to the users of coke his year will he large, ow- ing to the fact that this firm at least is planning to make the har- bor its chief mode of transportation of coal and coke. Mr. Mallett predicted that the prices of coal and coke this year would be the lowest of any period during the last ten years, and that in this way citizens of would benefit to a very real extent from the money spent by the gov- ernment at the harbor. Rainfall Was Beneticial to Farmers of District Rain, which started to fall Satur- day morning and continued almost without intermission until late Sun. day night, will prove of inestimable value to farmers of this district, The ground has now been well goak- ed with moisture and, following the showers of the previous two days, this long and steady downpour serv- ed to replenish wells which previ- ously had contained but little water, The weather, so far this spring, has been favorable for farming op- erations and although it is not yet the 1st of May, seeding is practical- ly completed. April however until this past week had been a very dry month and growers were becoming anxious for moisture. The rain therefore was most welcome. The rain yesterday prevented Oshawa citizens from spending much time outside, but attendance at the city's churches kept up well in spite of the inclement weather, Traffic on the streets and highways was at a minumum however, This morning dawned bright and clear, indicating that more fine spring days are in store for this section of the province. Northern Conditions of Unemployment Much Worse Than In Southern Ontario 's trip to North- which from a weck Home cern Ontario, in the course ol he visited Sudbury, Capreio, Copper Cliff, Coniston, North Bay and Owen Sound, M. Mcintyre Hood, editor of the Oshawa Times, declared that un- employment and depression condi tions in the h were fgr worse than anythin ¢ had known in Old Ontario during the last winter. This was particularly true, he said, in the Sudbury district, and the area north of Sudbury, where the population is almost entirely dependent upon the nickel mines, and the smelters and refineries for employment. In Sud- bury, a week or so ago, he reported, there were 1,700 unemployed men re- gistered, and 650 of these were being given relief employment, by the city. The city was expending about $1,700 a day in relief wages, part of which, of course, will be refunded by the provincial and federal governments, In Coniston, a mining town near Sudbury, the whole town is practic- ally out of employment, on account of the mine and smelter there being completely closed down. At Frood, the big mine of the International Nickel Company is only employing about one third of the normal pay- roll, and the same condition prevails ir the company's smelter and refinery at Copper Cliff. At Sturgeon Falls, near. North Bay, the town is filled with unemployed men, on account of the paper mills there being absolute- by closed down, and conditions are very distressing. In the railway cen- tre of Capreol, the effect of the de pression is also keenly felt, Muny of the men are laid off completely l whil { others are working ouly two days a week The Communists, Mr. Hood, t to arou according to arc making great cfforts the unemployed, particular ly the foreign 'element, in the nor thern towns, but are not mecting with much success. At Sudbury the: staged a demonstration, but while it attracted a large gathering of curious citizens, it did not amount to a great deal, Tt was very significant, he said, that in the northern towns and cities the war veterans were volunteering for special duty in case of Commun- ists riots, and had been sworn in as special constables. One of the great needs of the north country, said Mr, Hood, was an ex- tension of the road system. Outside of the one main highway from North Bay to Sudbury, there were no roads of any account, and even yet autonio- bile travel is practically impossible between many of the towns. Even Capreol, only twenty miles away, was cut off trom Sudbury by automobile traffic, on account of the condition of the roads. The people in the north are hopeful that the provincial gov- ernment will undertake an ambitious program of road-building there this year, not alone to improve the road system, but also as a means of tak- ink. care of as many as possible of the unemployed workers. WOMAN IS GIVEN PRISON TERM FOR ATHIRD OFFENCE | Mrs. Alice Rodesky Con- victed of Having Liquor in an Illegal Place Found guilty of her third offence against the L.C.A.,, Mrs, Alice Rod- esky, Wilson Road, was sentenced to three: months in jail by Magistrate T. K. Creighton, in city police court this morning. Mrs, Rodesky was charged with having liquor in an il- legal place. On April 25, according to evidence which was given the court, Provincial Constable T. Mitchell and Constable Hele, who carried a flashlight, met Mrs. Rodesky in the back yard of her home. Mrs. Rodesky had a bot- tle in her hand and threw it from her. The constable located it, how- ever, and when sent for analysis, its contents were discovered to be quite potent, Mrs. Rodeskv, a smartly dressed, intellizent looking woman who ap- peared in court accompanied by a charming little daughter, denied, through the medium of Interpreter Wm, Igel that she had had any bot- tle in her hand when the police visit- ed her home. The police had picked tip the bottle in a neighbor's yard, she contended. The accused had previously stated that she would not have Mr. Swan- RESTRICT RIGHT OF HOMESTEAD ENTRY . Edntonton, Alta, April 27. -- Right of homestead entry will not be abol- ished in this province, but will be res stricted to certain areas and be sub- ject to five years' residence qualifi- cations, Womeri as well as men are, in the opinion of the government, capable of becoming good farmers. Subject only to age and residence qualifications, their homestead rights will be as-unrestrictde as those of the male sex, Under the dominion act, only women who were heads of fam- ilies were permitted to file. son represent her as her lawyer, but when he appeared in court toward the close of the case, she sought his assistance. Mr. Swanson appealed to the court for leniency. "She has no money," he said, "and although I know she has been an old offendor she has not been in trouble since a year ago. She has five chil- dren, to care for, the eldest of whom is but 15«years old, and she has been working hard to keep her family to- gether." Mr. Swanson thought that the court should allow Mrs, Rodesky sus- pended sentence, but Magistrate Creighton did not believe that this was possible under the Liquor Con- trol Act. . . "You are to be commended," hgg informed the accused, "upon your of forts to raise your family and you worthy of sympathy. But accoph to the law, the minimum term give you is three months, If t, torney-general sees fit to red sentence, then it might be re ot Oshawa | INPORTANCE OF LEADERSHIP FOR BOYS IS STRESSED C. F. Plewman of Toronto Spoke at King St. Church Father and Son Service The importance of giving boys good leadership, sympathy and understanding during the adoles- cent period of life, was emphasiz- ted by C. A, Plewman, secretary of {the Ontario Boys' Work Board who addressed a large congrega- tion at the 'Father and Son" ser- vice held in King Street United Church, Sunday morning. "I would not say," Mr. Plewman stated, 'that boys' work was the most important thing in life, Nor wonld I contend that the adoles- cent period is the most important period, The present is the most significant for us all, providing we have still hopes and plans for the future and are striving to improve ourselves. But it is true that prac- tically all our habits, whether good or bad, are formed in the adoles- rent period. The boy is father of the man." It is during this time that the wreatest decisions are made the 'peaker contended. Must be Converted "Some. people don't believe there is such a thing as conver- sion," he said, "but a boy between 3 and 23 must be converted to something. He will form his opin- fons of things and it is then that he will have his ideals. A child has not sufficient intelligence to form ideals and when one is In middle-age, hard knocks, disap- pointments and the buffetings of eircumstancse make it difficult to cherish ideals.

J. Ripley, of 262 Haig street, Ches- ter Gibner of 1279 Woodbine Ave., Toronto, was sentenced to a term of two months imprisonment ty Magistrate Creighton in City Court this morning. Gibner, who was represented by D. A. J. Swan- gon, pleaded not guilty but Magis- trate Creighton considered that the Crown had made out a strong circumstantial case against him, Crown Attorney J. A. McGibbon prosecuted. On the night of March 1, Mr. Haig, testified that he had park- ed his car outside King Street United Church while he was at- tending the service there. When he came out of church the car had disappeared and he reported its theft to the police. The police then discovered the machine on Ritson road north. Mr. Haig claimed that three wheels 'had been stolen, including the spare wheel and two others. An old wheel had been placed upon the axle in place of the one which had been taken, while the battery was also missing. A tire, which had been found by the police on the accused's car, was exhibited in court and was identified by Mr, Williams, a Bound street tire dealer, who identified it as one he had sold to Mr. Haig last June. The serial number was the same. p Evidence was given by motor- cycle officer Parsons that he had seen Gibner's car on Ritson Road north, shortly after he had dis- covered the abandoned motor. He followed it on his motorcycle over a rough and icy stretch of road. The car turned left on Ross' Road and he caught up to it at the head of Simeoe street. "I stopped the car and found the two Gibner brothers in it," the officer testified. "I examined the car and asked them if they had passed a parked car on Rit- son Road. They said they had. Then I asked them to come with me to the police station." "Did they go willingly?" Mr. son asked. " witness replied.
