'ACTALUDI WAS PUBLISHED TODAY Annual Magazine of O. C. & V.1. Highly Creditable Publication There was great excitement at the Oshawa Collegiate and Voca- tional Institute today as the 1931 edition of Acta Ludi, the school magazine, was delivered from the presses of the Mundy-Good- fellow Printing Company. Of a high standard typographically, the magazine at once attracted attention by its handsome ap- pearance, which.was commented on very favorably. As usual, it is profusely illustrated with photographs of various school or- ganizations and groups, and these do great credit to the photographer, D. Campbell, and to the engravers. The contents of the magazine are highly interesting, Starting with an inspiring message from Principal A. E .O'Neill, it gives a complete record of school acti- ities for the last year in many forms of endeavor, sports, dra- matic and literary activities and music all Being dealt with, The feature of thie year's magazine, however, is the excellence of the literary contributions, in both prose and 'poetry of students of the school. Original poems and stories in French and German testify to the talents of a number of students in putting their thoughts into words of these languages. SE The whole magazine is a de- cided credit to the staff which produced it, this being almost entirely composed of students, The members of the staff were: Editor, R., Arnold Job; - ad- viser, W, A, Glass, M.A, Business Manager, Wess Hicks; adviser, A, Mackenzie, B.A, Advertising manager, Marwood Black; adviser, E.

Friday, June 5th, 1931 THE PUBLIC I$ INVITED RE Tait CORR gl Fe THE WHITBY Advertising, subscriptions and Whitby Branch Office at Gaze 23, After Business Hours--Phone 359, REPRESENTATIVE---JAMES H. ORMISTON DAILY TIMES news will be received at the tte and Chronicle.--~Telephone Bowmanville Daily Times Representative's Phone No. 52 COUNTY COUNCIL URGED TO ACTION BY THE WARDEN Speed Up Business to Save Money--Many Bills for Indigents Warden John Ross urged the County Council at the opening of the June session on Tuesday af- ternoon at the Court House to speed up business as quickly as possible so that the session might end this week, thus saving the taxpayers' money during the pres- ent period of depression. The warden asked the various com- mittees to get to work as quickly as possible and dispose of their business. The session was opened with devotional exercises conducted by Rev, T. F. Best, of Whitby Bap- tist Church, who read an appro- priate passage of Scripture and offered up a prayer for divine guidance of Council deliberations and for the Empire at large. Rev. Mr. Best was tendered a hearty vote of appreciation for his ser- vices. Many Indigent Bills The present 'period of depres- sion, when many men are out of work, was reflected in the num- erous bills from various hospitals and institutions for the care of indigents. As the assistant clerk, W. J. H. Richardson read them out there seemed to be no end to them. The county in each case pays one-half and the municipali- ties from which the indigents come the balance. Would Control Tax Sales A resolution from the Town- ship .of East Whitby asked the County Council to pass a by-law giving the township power to con- duct its own sales of lands for tax arrears. Under the statute the county has this power, Under the present system, the county treasurer handles the sale of lands sold for taxes for the town- shis, remitting the proce~ds of the sale less the costs. Warden Ross, who is reeve of the town- ship, contends that by controlling its own tax sales better prices would be obtained for the more centrally « located properties, which would be advertised and described in local papers instead of in the Ontario Gazette, The county can grant the township's request without any cost. The request will be reported on by a committee. A letter from the clerk of Ra- ma Township, enclosed a copy of a resolution passed by the town- ship council calling attention to the dangerous condition of a por- tion of road No. 20. The remov- al of dangerous curves is asked, and it is pointed out that the time is opportune to do this work when so many men are secking employment, : Referred to the Roads Bridges Committee, High Constable Resigns A letter was read fro. sueriis J. F. Paxton tendering his resig- nation as high county constable, to take effect July 1st, and thank- ing the council for kindness shown and co-operation given in his work. The letter will. be dealt with at this session. A letter from the inspector of prisons and public charities, sub- mitted through Sheriff Paxton; called council's attention to the fact that certain recommended improvements to the county gaol had not been carried out, chief among them the provision of a place to keep vegetables. Refer- red to County Property Commit- tee. Wants Road Ohanged The Town of. Uxbridge wants road No. 9 handed back to the Township of Reach and the road known as the 9th concession of Reach substituted as a more di- rect route to the provineial high- way. Referred to Roads Com- mittee, and ASK GOVERNMENT T0 RELIEVE THE Resolutions Before County Council Seek Tax Reductions Ontario County Council at its opening session in Whitby, Tues- day afternoon, received many res- olutions passed by other county governing bodies, making vari- ous suggestions to the provincial government to bring about the relief of the farmer's tax burden. For the most part they dealt with the amount of money collected by the government for roads. From Norfolk county came a resolution suggesting that as mo- torists are the cause of mounting road expenditures, the govern- ment collect an additional three- cents per gallon on gasoline and either hand this money over to the municipalities for road main- tenance, or else bear the entire cost of this work, From other counties came si- milar resolutions, indicating that in these depressive times the far- mer is more than feeling the pinch, and that with mounting county expenditures, | caused largely on account of provincial highway construction costs levied m counties, he is badly in need of relief. One county sent a resolution commending the gov- ernment for its increased grants to municipalities for road work, but suggested that the govern- ment might go further and bear the entire burden of provincial highway construction. All of the motions were refer- red to the Committee on Legisla- tions and Memorials, and if its deals with them all it will have its hands full. W. J. Philip, reeve of Brock, and chairman of the famous commit- tee on economies, which stirred things up a bit at the January session by his persistent plea for economy, asked the warden if any word had been received from the Dominion Government re- garding the asuming of the en- tire cost of Old Age Pensions. Mr. Philip recalled that only tem- porary appointments were made to the County Board in January because of the prime minister's intimation that this was the gov- ernment's intention. It would be a big relief to the county, and in a time of great depression, the reeve of Brock remarked. Warden Ross stated that the intention of the Federal Govern- ment now was, according to the budget announcement, to assume only 75 per cent. The province might assume the additional 25. The special. committee on coun- ty assessment equalization, ap- pointed at the January session, with Deputy-Reeve R. M. Dever- ell as chairman, was asked to bring in its report as soon as possible, This is a contentious matter and there may be some disgussion, PATCHING STREET A gang of men was at work to- day patching the cracks and holes on the pavement on King Street east. A section of this strect was left in bad condition after the win- ter and it is now being given the necessary attention. DANCE RECITAL A dance recital by the pupils of Madam' Hendrie is to be given in Rotary Hall on Friday cveming of this week.

(Continued on page 8), __ HIGH SCHOOL BETTERS WHIZ Game at Bowmanville Last Night Running up a score of 6 runs in the first innings, the High School students had little trouble in defeating the Whiz softball outfit in a regular league game at the school grounds last night. From start to finish the High School were the better team ,hoth at bat and in the field. Whiz on the other hand, put up their poorest display of the season and it a record had been kept of er- rors made the game would have been all errors. After opening with six runs, the High School added three more in the 4th innings, while at the end of the 4th for the Whiz they still had the solitary run which they scored in the first frame. Adding two in the 7th, the high school reached a score of 11 and remained there until the end of the game. The Whiz tried to force the issue in th'e 6th innings and added 4 runs and then 3 again in the 5th making them 8. Close fielding and good pitching failed to let them get any nearer their goal and the same ended at 11 for the High School and 8 for Whiz, Richards, pitching for the High School, was perhaps the outstanding player on the field, although Bill Bagnsll in left field and Ted Bagnell in short stop, played real good games. Seymour pitched a fairly good game for the Whiz and but for the first innings the - High School had plenty of difficulty in hitting him. The next game is on Friday when the Front Street meet the Busi- ness Men, The teams were: High School Richards G. Adams Williams Slemon K. Osborne E. Bagnell Spencer Heckney ef. Large W. Bagnell 7 Cameron Umpires Collwell and Candler. Whiz Seymour Cowle Corden Witheridge I. Piper G. Piper Knight 3b. 5.8. rr.

With the legal end of the work now completed work on the new gas mains is expected to start at any time. G. D, Conant of Osh- awa and J.

Colville applied for per- mission to cut down a tree on his property, the matter being re- ferred to the Roads and Streets committee with power to act. E. C. C. Southey petitioned the council for a new walk to his property on Elgin street and this matter too, was referred to the Roads and Streets committee. Bowmanville Business Men's Association asked council to de- clare July Sth, the day of the Pig Community Picnic, a holi- day and also grant the use of King street from Temperance to Division streets, for the purpose of a street dance. The dance petition was granted but council declined to declare it a half holi- day, The group of Americans travel- ling on the Know Mississippi Bet- ter Train, will be guests of the Town on September 4th and will be shown the sights of the town and neighborhood.

A. Dewar's Comeronian, favorite, today wor the 148th renewal of the English Derby. Sir John Rutherford's Orpen, sec- choice, finished second in front of Lord Rosberry's Sandwich with Marcel Bousaac's Goyescas, fourth Cameronjan went to the post a 7 to 1 favorite while Orpen was held at 9 to 1 and Sandwich at 8 to 1. A crowd of 750,000 including the King and Royal Family saw the son of Phards Una Cameron gallop home in front of 24 other three-year-olds, Cameronian won by three quarters of a length with a like distance sep- arating Arpen and Sandwich, Jacopo, Aga Khan's Pomme D' Api and Sir Edward Hammer's Gal- lani finished practically in line for fifth place. Sir Andrew back among the pack. Cameronian was the first favorite to win in recent years. The coit was installed as a choice soon after his victory in two thousand guineas and up to post time he was a good thing at 4 to 1. His odds wer: lengthened, however, as a huge crowd began to plunge on outsiders. The race was worth about 15,000 pounds ($75,000), to the winners while 20 millions of dollars were dis- tributed through the Irish Sweep Stakes and smaller sweeps, This year's renewal of the turf's oldes# race was generally said to be the biggest "money race" of racing his- tory. Cameronian was clocked in the good time of 2.36 3-5 for the grucll- ing mile and one halt' up and down hill journey. With Freddy Fox in the pilot seat, the Dewar colt kept close to the pace throughout the journey and once he started running in the stretch, he was not to be beaten, Sir Andrew crossed the finish line in twentieth position, never being a serious factor in the race. Jacopo was in the running, however, finish- ing in line with Pomme D'Api car- Lying the silks of the Aga Khan and Sit Edward Hammer's Gallini as they battled down fhe stretch in seventh place. A Popular Victory The victory of Cameronian was a popular one as the Dewar ace has occupied the position of the favorite since winning the classic two thous- and guineas. As near post time as this morning he was being quoted at 4 to 1 but the huge crowd, remem- bering the long line of triumphs by outsiders began to plunge on the long shots with the result that the odds on Cameronian lengthened to 7 to 1 by the time he faced the bar- rier. Dublin, June 3--A fortune came was far. to Mrs. E. Young, Clarendon' Ave., Toronto, with running of the Derby at Epsom Downs, She held a ticket in the Irish Hospitals' Sweepstakes on Orpen who finished second. London, June 3--Joseph Kennedy, Boston, Mass, held the Irish Hospi- tal Sweepstakes ticket on Cameron- ian, winner of today's derby. Tic- ket is worth $150,000 plus $4,000 which he won by virtue of drawing a horse, BLIND PEOPLE. AREENABLED TO SUPPORT SELVES Training at Blind Institute Qualifies Them for Positions He does a sighted man's work and receives a sighted man's pay." ' This statement occurs in the annual report of the Canadian National Institute for the Blind in dealing with its successful placement of a totally blind man with an industrial concern, and' may be taken, as emblematical of the objects and aims of the In- stitute. There are many similar cases to the one referred to in this statement, and officials of the In- stitute who have in hand the training of the blind to take their place among more fortunate sighted workers, always have this objective in view. Oshawa, for instance, can provide an ex- cellent example well-known to practically every citizen. With proper training such as can be rendered by the insteuct- ors of the Institute, it is very surprising to learn the many act- ivities fn which blind persons can become successfully engaged. A few of them mentioned in the an- nual report, are secretarial work, librarians, operating machines. in industrial plants, music teach- ing, earton packing, broom and basket making, salesmanship, professional work, preaching, pi- ano tuning, farming, knitting and other handicrafts, household du- ties among women, lecturing, wireless operator,., and many others for which fhe ordinary man in the street would assume good sight to be almost essential. In carrying out its splendid work for the blind, and in pre- ventive measures against blind- ness, the Institute depends al- most entirely upon publie support and the appeal through the me- dium of a tag day, to be made to the people of Oshawa on Satur day, should meet with generous support.
