Revenue collections from every tax with one exception, income tax, were substantially less than in preceding year. On ex- penditure side, little advantage could be taken of declining prices because fixed charges constituted such a large proportion of .expen- ditures. The customs tariff revenue pro- duced 131 million dollars, 48 mil- lions less than in preceding year, but recently customs receipts had shown less fluctuation and daily decreases are Bot 44 substantial ag dur scal year. a effected in September did not make any ma- terial reduction in receipts in second six months period, as com- pared with first, he said. Excise daties totalled $57,700,000, a de- cline of more than seven millions in receipt from liquor duties was accounted for by prohibition of exports to United States, Income tax produced 71 mil. lions because taxes were levied on earnings of boom year of 1929. Sales tax, aggravated. by reduc- tions from two to ome per cent, shrank by more than 24 millions, collections being somewhat over 20 mililons. The Premier summarized total receipts from taxes'as $296,276,- 000 compared with $378,651,000 In previous fiscal year. Consolidated fund receipts amounted to $349,693,000, com- pared with $441,411,000 in the previous fiscal year. "With spec- jal receipts, the grand total rev- enue for the past fiscal year was $356,215,000, compared with $446,182,000, a decrease of $90,- 000,00¢. Expenditures substantially in- creased on account of public ser- rice during the past year, the pre- mier said. Apart from certain ex- penditures in conpection with unemployment relief, those in- curred by Governor-General's warrants and some items approv- ed by parliament in the closing days of the fiscal year, all the expenditures were 'incurred on the authority of the previous ad- ministration. Ordinary expenditures were $394.000,000, compared with $357,720,000 in 1929-30, an in- crease of $36,220,000, largely accounted for by increases in provincial subsidies, war. pen- sions, public works. unemploy- ment relief and old age pensions.

BUSY RECORD FOR WATER SHIPPING Many Applications Are Be- ing Received for Perman- ent Space at Oshawa Har- bor The report of shipping activi- ties at the Oshawa Harbour for the last two mnionths, April and May, shows a very satisfactory increase in the movements of shipping and freight, while the number of applications received for 'permanent space at the wharf proves very conclusively that Oshawa will shortly take its proper place as one of the ship- ping centres of the province. The number of tons of freight moved during the period covered in this report totals 19,732, a comparatively small portion of this being package fr oy to conditions prevailing which rendered the loading and unload. ing of this class of freight incon venient and almost impossible, The number of vessels en and cleared was twenty-three, while thirty-one = automobiles were shipped from this port. Seven coal es. have ap- plied for permanent wharfage at the harbour while two sand and gravel companies, two package freight 'shipping lines and two big steel corporations have made sim_ MINISTER HIT BY CARIN WHITBY BADLY INJURED Rev, Dr. J. M. Duncan, of Toronto, Is in the Oshawa Hospital (By Whitby Staft Writer) Struck by an automobile just after he had alighted from a T. T. C. bus on Dundas Street East, Whitby, about 10.30 Sunday morning, Mev. Dr. J. M. Duncan, a promin minister of the United Church, sustained serious injuries which necessitated his removal in Town's ambulancee to the Oshawa General Hospital. Rev. Dr. Duncan had come from Toronto and was en route to Brooklin to conduct Sunday School anniversary service in the United Church: there, It had been arranged that he meet the Broklin pastor, Rev, P. L. Jull, at the Four Corners, but for some reason or other Dr. Duncan did not get off until in front of Rey- nolds Street, which leads to the Ontario Ladies' College, As he got off the bus he went to the rear of it and started to cross the road to the north side when he was knocked down by a car coming from the east and driven by Mr. L. Corrin, an Oshawa barber. His body struck the pave- ment, and but for a satchel which he was carrying he might have been more seriously injured. As t was he received scalp wounds, a badly cut hand, while he still complains about a severe pain in his neck. Peter N. Spratt, local service station man, who happened to be passing at the time, took the in- jured minister to the office of Dr. Charles I, McGillivray, where he received medical attention and was rushed to the Hospital, He Was uncons¢ious when first pick- ed up. Later he revived and' be- came partly unconscious ' at the Hospital. Dr. McGillivray stated Sunday night that an X-ray would be taken Monday morning to de- termine the extent of Dr. Dun- can's injuries. Chief of Police H. Quantrill was called to the scene. The driver of the car, Mr. Corrin said that Dr. Duncan came suddenly from behind the bus and that it was impossiblee to avoid striking him, Mr. Corrin was not held. Rev. Dr. Duncan is with the United Church Board of Sabbath School publications.

Deportation s Opposed A petition, which already bears over 3,000 is being circulated in ofder to combat the action for the deportation of Eddie McDonald, according to D. A. J. Swanson, of the well-known lesal firm of Swan- son and Hall, who is acting as counsel for McDonald. "People are signing this petition who have never scen McDonald, would not vote for him when he was a candidate for mayor, are not in sympathy with many things that he says and does," said Mr. Swan- son in discussing the case with the Times, "but on the other hand they hate to see a rotten deal put over on any one and are out for British fair play for a British subject who fought during the Great War." Mr. Swanson has been in coms ugication with the Immigration department 2k the Dominion' Gov« ernment and 'has formally notified the Department that he will act as counsel for McDonald when his ap- ¢al against the deportation order is ard. , No date has yet been fixed for this hearing. 0 his year's prize : getter has been ted i the Western es.

Albert Moore, Gen- eral Secretary of General Council Preached at the Simcoe Street United Church Yesterday--Ad- dress Heralded Canvass " for Funds Describing the great program of the United Church, in the sphere of foreign missions, home missions, evangelism and social service, reli- gious education and preaching at home and abroad, in a manner which quickened the imagination and challenged the interest of his hear- ers, Dr. T. Albert Moore, General Secretary of the General Council, made an_earnest appeal for support of the Missionary and Maintenance Fund at the morning service of Simcoe Street United Church yes- terday, Dr. Moore was welcomed to the pulpit by Rev. E. Harston, the pastor, and his sermon was time ly as it heralded the canvass which the local church is making of its members so that it may meet its allocation in the fund. What part does Jesus Christ play in this community, Dr, Moore asked. How would the people of Oshawa feel if they were deprived of all their religious privileges, had no place to worship, no prayers, no fellowship or no hymns to sing? The United Church, he said, by reduc- ing the number of separate deno- minations jn small communities was endeavoring to bring these great privileges to communities in Can- ada where there is no Protestant Christian worship. Still vigorous and commanding in appearance, in spite of his 51 years in the ministry, Dr. Moore described in his own inimitable fashion an ex- PREACHED HERE REV. DR. T.

He talked on the fu- ture of the British Empire, empha- sizing three main points, that if the citizens of the Empire had confid- ence and faith in themselves, if they practised economy and if each and every one gave of his best to his own work, then the Empire would certainly maintain a high place among the nations of the world, With his address centered around these three main points, the statesman made what he considered (Continued on page 4) Work To Recommence On Subway Immediately, City Has Been Assured Clearance Between Tracks and Street to be Increas- ed by Seven Inches Upon Insistence of Railway Co. Delay in Delivery of Cun- crete Slabs Retarded the Work The work of completing the subway in Cedardale, which will take Simcoe Street South under the C.N.R. tracks and do away with the present level crossing, is to be recommenced almost imme- diately and will be entirely in the hands of the C.N.R. engineers. This work has been held up for some time owing to the require- ments of the regulations govern- ing the railway companies in such work. The civic authorities of Oshawa have, it is understood, carried out their portion of the agreement with the railway com- pany by which they undertook a portion of the work, and bear a portion of the expense, in accord- ance with the specifications. In accordance with these specifica- tions the vehicular road bed, pass. ing underneath the railway track, bas been allowed a clearance of fourteen feet but this clearance has now been judged insufficient and not in accordance with the re- quirements. of the railway engi- neers, As a result of this, the city au- 'thorities were recently in confer- ence with the railway engineers and the railway company is to un- dertake to increase the clearance to fourteen feet and seven inches, the company bearing the expense of this alteration in the plans. Some delay in the work has al- #0 been caused through the failure of the manufacturing contractors to deliver the concrete slabs which will support the rafl-road bed, but it iis understood that this material 'is now available and should arrive almost any day now, . While the city is naturally in- terested in the immediate com- pletion of this work it is now en- tirely out of the hands of the civic authorities and rests with the rail.

C. & V. L Staff, Will Spend Year in Scotland Norman McLeod of the Oshawa Collegiate Institute teaching staff has been selected by the Imperial Teachers' Exchange board to ex- change positions as teachers with Mr. Robb of Glasgow, for one year. Mr. McLeod will be leav- ing for Scotland about the end of July and will prepare to start teaching in the latter part of Aug- ust. His classes in the Glasgow school, will be in English Litera- ture and History, subjects he teaches in the Collegiate here, Mr. Robb, who is coming to teach in Oshawa for one year, cones from North Kelvinside A- cademy, Glasgow, It is a school of 1800 students and 80 teachers. Mr, Robb is also a teacher of Eng- lish and History. He served in the World War and comes to this country very highly recommended and should prove a teacher fitting to exchange with one of Mr. Mc- Leod's qualities and attainments. In speaking to The Times, Mr. A. E, O'Nejll, principal of the Osh- awa Collegiate and Vocational In. stitute, said, "The exchange should not only prove a material benefit to the schools as an insti- tution but to the students, and both teachers will profit by the ex- perience." Oshawa Collegiate is fortunate in being chosen as a school to be represented in Scotland, as there will be an 'opportunity for ex- change of ideas in school manage. ete, as well as in teaching.

Pickering Tells St, George's Congregation of Work to Aid Blind Rev. A. Pickering, a clergyman of the Church of England in Canada, who is at present travelling repre- sentative for the Canadian Nationa! Institute for the Blind, and who is himself, totally blind, was the preacher in St. George's Anglican Church yesterday evening. "No man really loves darkness," stated Rev. Pickering. "Man is na- turally afraid of darkness and the absence of light is an abomination." Rey. Pickering pointed a large num- ber of outstanding and impressive events, all of which had taken place || during the hours of darkness, men- tioning events in the Bible and ia- ter years. The speaker pointed out that there are about seven thousand 'persons in the Dominion of Canada, suffer- ing from blindness and of this num- ber, more than four thousand of them are deprived of their sight through carelessness or other rea- sons, which could have been avoid- ed. Accidents, through careless- ness, sickness and heredity ailings are some of the most common rea- sons for blindness, stated Rev. Pickering. Pursuing his subject, Rev. Picker- ing told of the fine work being done by the Caradian National Institute for the Dlind. One of the greatest curses of modern age, stated Rev. Pickering, was the fact that glasses were being sold for practically nothing and incompetent persons, who professed to be Eye Specialists were prescribing glasses and in near- ly every case, the advice was detri- mental, "Cheap glasses is one of the biggest curses of blindness," stated Rev. Pickering. He stated that a real effort was being made to make the selling of cheap glasses unlawful, The work 'of the CN.L for the Blind is to teach the blind and to put them courageously in the way to help themselves. One of the greatest troubles which con- front them in their work, is self- pity. Blind persons often suffer from this, especially when stricken suddenly, and they often become morbid and lose interest in life. The work of the Institute is to stimulate ambition and point out new roads. The Home Service Dept. provides qualified attendants for those persons who are finan- ¢ially unable to take advantage of Institutional care and treatment, In- structors go out and teach those af- flicted, different ways of making their living and give them a train- ing for life, not only in manufac- turing pursuits but in business and commercial life. Rev. Pickering punctuated his in- teresting address with numerous an- ecdotes about the experiences of different people who suffered from blindness. The Canadian National Institute for the Blind is a Dominion wide Institution and carries on its work by means of grants from the Gov- ernment, schools, Service Clubs and other public bodies. The work and treatment is carried out irrespective of creed or colour. Rey. Pickering pointed out that the Tag Day for the Blind would be held in Oshawa next Saturday and that this was the' first time a general appeal had been made to the people of Oshawa since 1922 and yet the Institute had been spend- ing money and working in Oshawa, constantly. Immediately after the address, the choir appropriately rendered Ar: thur Sullivan's "Saviour, Thy Chil- dren Keep." City Praised as Being Sate The General Manager of the On« tario Safety League, J. F. H, Wyse, has offered congratulations to this city and surrounding district in con nection with the freedom from ser- ious accident, which was apparent over the recent holiday. Through the Chamber of Com- merce the attention of the Ontario Satety League was called to an ed- itorial which appeared in The Osh- Times prior to the holiday under the caption "A Holiday Warning", in which the need for care over the holiday was stressed and the warn- ing voited that "Surely it is the duty of every - holiday 'maker to make safety the first and greatest consideration." 3 Following 'the holiday the Cham- ber of Commerce also brought to the attention of the Safety League a front page article in The Times under the caption "Absence of Ser- ols, Accidents Was Fine Featu of Holiday," and reporting accidents as "conspicuous by their absence." As the result, of this Mr. Wyse writes to the Chamber of Commerce under date of May 28 in which he says, in part, as follows: '1 wish to congratulate you Pope Confers ith Cardinals (Canadian Press Despatch) Vatican City, June 1 -- Pope Pius summoned members of the college of Cardinals to the Vati- can for an extraordinary con- ference today, regarding the the tense diplomatic situation existing between the Italian Government and the Papal State.

CUSTOMS RETURNS SHOW DECREASE Importers Are "Taking No Chances And Are Paying Duties at Border The total collections made by the Oshawa Customs officials dqur- ing the month of May this year are slightly less than for the month of April, the amounts be- ing-- May, $357,469.70 and April, $384,496.99. The slight drop is due to the to- tal collected as import duties, many importers taking the course of paying the import tax on duti- able goods at the horder line ow- ing to the fact that the federal budget, with its expected increase in tariffs, was to be tabled at any time and importers were unwilling to take the chance of having to pay the increased rate. The total = collections for the past month are made up as fol- lows: Import duties, $281 405.- 26; excise tares, $75,918.03; sun- dry collections, $146.41; total, $357,469.70, OSHAWA HOSPITAL NURSES WORSHIP AT KNOX CHURCH Fine Baccalaureate Sermon Preached to Graduating Class by Pastor Rev. Duncan Munro, pastor of Knox Presbyterian Church, in de- livering the baccalaureate sermon to the graduating nurses of the Osh- awa General Hospital last night took his text from the eighth verse of the sixteenth psalm. "I have set the Lord always before me. Be- cause he is at my right hand I shall not be moved." He based his re- marks on the theme serviceable saints and drew two parallel from the text. That of those who may be termed saints but do not live up to the name by their actions and those who by their good works have endeared themselves to the world. The nursing profession, Mr. Munro said, could well be classed among the latter as they were filling a de- finite place in society and were car- rying on a work that was as noble as it was vital to the social struc- ture of the universe. Rev. Munro on behalf of the ses- sion and board of the church wel- comed Miss McWilliams, the sup- erintendent of nurses, the graduat- ing class and the nurses in training who were in attendance at the ser- vi women and boys and girls and the effect of your contact with them in helping them back to health and strength is inestimable, asserted the minister, who stated that those that the nurses helped in their darkest hour and brought back to health and happiness would never forget them. y ere were many, Mr, Munro said, who were termed saints but do not prove serviceable to them- selves nor to others.
