OSHAWA MAIL CARRIER FACING THEFT CHARGE; - EMPLOYMENT OFFICE COMPLETED BIG TASK AT NOON YESTERDAY Greater Number of Jobless Are Canadian Born, Fig- ures Show--Less Than 100 Women Registered MUCH INFORMATION GIVEN ON CARDS Jobless Asked to Answer Variety 'of Questions -- City Council Wants the Facts So That It May Seek Government Aid in Solving Problem The registration of the unem- ployed under the scheme inaugur ated by the Finance Committee of City Council was completed at noon to-day, the total number re- gistered being reported as 1,112. The number registered on the first day was 369, on Thursday 401, and on Friday 249, the re- mainder having their cards com- pleted on Saturday morning. While no analysis of the regis- tration has yet been made, and it will take some little time for a complete tabulation of all the in- formation obtained regarding the question of unemployment, it is very apparent that the number: of Canadian-born citizen, who are at present unemployed, are in the majority over the foreign-born and those born in the British Is- les, while the aggregate total of those born under the British flag is far in excess of the foreign- born, Placed in three piles the completed registration cards, ac- cording to size of the piles, are Canadian-born, foreign-born, and born in the British Isles. Among the unemployed, who stated that they were born in Can_ ada, with an appreciable number born right in Oshawa, is a large percentage of foreign extraction, who are not yet completely famil- far with the English language. Only a small percentage of wo- men have registered the total number being given as less than 100. Included in this number ig a fairly large percentage of mid- dle-aged persons, young girls hav- ing no appreciable majority, while there are a few married women registered as unemployed whose husbands have also filled out re- gistration cards. One old lady of seventy years registered as unem- ployed and appeared willing and eager to obtain work. Every person registered was re- quired to give his name and ad- dress, age, whether married, gin- gle or widowed; Nationality auu if 'a naturalized British subject when naturalization papers were taken out; length of residence in Osh- awa; where employed during the last two years; wife's residence; number of children, if any; and usual occupation. From these cards it will be pos sible to obtain information as to the number of married men com- pared with the number of single men Who are at present unemploy- ed, their average length of resi- dence in this city, and much other statistical evidence for presenta- tion to the Provincial Government when the deputation from thg city council goes to Toronto next week in the effort to obtain assistance in establishing some measure of relief, DENIES GASOLINE TOO DEAR Toronto, June 13. -- Replying fc a statement made in the House of Commons yesterday by Charles E. Bothwell, Liberal member for Swift Current, regarding the high price of gasoline, in the Domin- fon and the profits of the large Canadian oil companies, Frank H, Littlefield, vice-president and general manager of the Canadian Oil Co., said today:--*Mr. Both- well is talking about something he seems to know very little about." Refining costs more in Canada than it does in the Unit- ed States. Mr. Littlefield said, and yet gasoline is selling lower than it has for years, lower, I believe, than before the war." About 3600 women in the Unit- ed States are now associated with banks in an executive capa- city, from presidents down to heads of minor departments. .

E. Harston welcomed the visiting congregation and the large gathering of interested friends calling on Rev, Paul B. W. Gelatt, pastor of Calvary Baptist Church to introduce the musi- cians who were to provide the evening program. Mr. Gelatt thanked the Simcoe street church for their kind co-operation, and then called on Mr. Robert Hark- ness to take charge of proceed- ings. Robert Harkness is a native of Australia, but has travelled in many lands where his work as a composer and interpreter of sac- red music has been the means of revealing more of - the hidden beauties of our simple gospel hymns, and also of leading many to a fuller knowledge of the Mas- ter Himself who inspired them. Last evening Mr. Harkness play- ed many old familiar hymn tunes, embellishing their themes with ciever and harmonious varia- tions. He has an effective man- rer of imparting his knowledge and succeeded in juickly produe- ing some fine congregational singing, although using choruses which were unfamiliar to most. He is also possessed of a rare gift as a composer and the most interesting feature of the evening (Continued on page 3) DRUMHELLER CASE INTERESTS CITY City Councillors in Alberta To Be Tried For Failing to Assist Indigents In view of the statement made recently in The Times, that. un- der the laws of Ontario, the mu- nicipality is not legally bound to rovide relief when demands for ssistance are made by citizens, the following case which occurred at Drumheller, Alta., is of inter eet. In a news despatch yester- day the Canadian Press stated: "Five Drumheller City Council- lors were sent up for trial to the Ncvember sittings of the Supreme Court when preliminary hearings in charges of failing to make pro- vision fe maintenance, or par- tial maintenance, or single in- dogent. residents of the City of Drumheller were conducted be- fore Magistrate G. E. Sanders of Calgary today. The Councillors committed were Actin-Mayor Al- lan Hamilton, Edwin G. Wood, L. C. Jackson, W. Kelly and J. W. Webb." TELLS HOW "TANKS" WERE INVENTED London, June 12.--Sir William Tritton, who developed the Great War "tanks," told members of the Southampton Round Table How the juggernaut came to be invent- ed and how they got their name. "It was simple," he said, "for we had beén building caterpiller "ve- hicls for sugar-growing in Para- guay and other countries. I buflt the first tank at my own expense, and then wrote to the War Office and told them about it. IT had no reply. I wrote again. Still there was no reply. So I went to the War Office, and they told me not to be gilly. When I persisted they told me they could not be made in time to be any use in the war. Never theless we made 2,700 at Lincoln. "When I sent the drawings out to the machine-shops I wanted the thing kept a secret, so I marked the drawings "Water-carrier for Mesopotamia... That was too long for the engineers, and next day it had been abbreviated to "That- tank.'

The luncheon, on Monday, it is announced, will be devoted entirely to checking up on the final preparations for the big event, which starts with a mon- ster parade at 6.45 p.m, on Wed- nesday, and will continue until a late hour on Thursday night, when the climax will be reached with the drawing of the lucky tickets denoting the winners of the Chevrolet de Luxe Roadster, and the other prizes which are peing offered. Keen interest has been shown in this particular feature of the fair, and thousands of tickets have been distributed in the ¢ity, so that nearly the whole population of Oshawa has a direct interest in the drawing of the tickets. One. 'of the interesting new fea- tures of the Rotary Fair this year is a vaudeville performance, arrang- ed by a committee under the chair- manship of Mayor Ernie Marks. The record of Mayor Marks as an old-time trouper is well known, and the patrons of the fair can be sure that he will have something very special to offer. An old-time Min- strel Show, with George Garner, Leon Frazer and D. B. Carlyle, in charge, is another new feature. There is also to be a dance in the Rotary Hall on both nights of the fair, and this should be a great at- traction for the younger folk, and many of the older ones as well. The Rotary Annes are giving valuable assistance with this year's fair, and will have some gpecial attractions which are being kept a secret for the present. In addition to these, many of the popular features of former 'years will be repeated. There will be ample opportunity for securing re- freshments, and all the fun and frolic of an old-time carnival will be in full swing from the time the fair starts until it finishes,' All that is required to make it a complete success is favorable weather, for which the Rotarians are hoping, and .a monster crowd of citizens. The people of Oshawa have always iven generous support to Rotary airs in the past, and with the ela- borate preparations which have been made for this year's event, it is expected that this will again be extended to the Club, so that its work on behalf of the crippled. chil- dren of the community can be con- tinued, . Planes Fly To Garden Party "Stonehaven," beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Norman Irwin, will be the scene of an event of more than usual interest this af- ternoon when the annual aerial garden party is held there. A large number of guests have been invited, including members of the Toronto Flying Club, and the ma- jority are expected to arrive in aeroplaneg, rather than motor cars, The garden party, mdre than anything else, serves to demon- strate the increasing use of the aeroplane. Guests arrive in their planes in as casual a fashion as they might drive up in motor cars and think no more of flying 30, 50 or a 100 miles, than the ordinary motorist would think of taking a short motor trip. Am- ple evidence is offered of the part which the plane will play in the future of transportation. Several hundred guests are ex- pected to enjoy the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Irwin this after- noon. In Burope there are 18,000,000 more women than men, according to a statistical calculation. Ger- many has 3,000,000 more women Russia 4,000,000. Portugal is declared to be a land where wo- men form the highest proportion of the population, , ~~ than men, France 27000,000, and | Chautauqua Concluded Visit Here Last Night "Novelty Night" Was Very Much Enjoyed--Chaut- auqua Plans to Visit Oshawa Again Next Year With "Novelty Night,"" Cana- dian Chautauqua concluded {ts vigit to Oshawa for another year. All the programs, which were giv- en In the big tent on Davis' field, had been thoroughly enjoyed by Oshawa audiences. The attend- ance at Chautauqua this year was better than last year, The Times was informed last night and it is the intention of Chautauqua to return to the city for another week next summer, After last night's performance, the big ten was quickly taken down, folding geats were packed in waiting trucks and the equipment was sent on to Simcoe where Chau- teuqua will play this coming week, The work of John Bockewitz, talented artist and cartoonist, captured the attention and won the admiration of the large audi- ence at last night's performance. With uncanny skill and speed, Mr. Bockewitz drew cartoons and funny faces, while all the time he conversed rapidly and kept the crowd in an uproar with his gay witicisims. One of the artist's best cartoons was a head a shoulders portrait of John Bull, whom he depicted as the traditional stout and "In my country to the south," he sald, "a cartoonist must know how to draw Uncle 8am and John Bull. One doesn't seem complete without the other." Turning to more serious things Mr. Bockewitz, in an amazingly short space of time drew a scene of the shore of old Mandalay with a young. native girl, against a background- of distant hills and temples, looking longingly toward the west. As coloured lights were player upon the scene the effect was most charming and was an apt illustration to Kip- ling's poem on Mandalay which the artist recited. Another of the artist's striking illustrations was that of an old man turning his steps homeward toward a lijtle cottage, depicting the sweet old song, "Home Sweet Home." Variety Program A variety program including in- dividual sketches, monologues, impersonations, songs and instru- mental selections by the Lucille Elmore Revue Co., was also an enjoyable feature of last night's performance. The vivacious Miss E!more gained loud applause for her clever singing and acting. while she was ably supported by Josef, Serpico, talented violinist, and Clare Foster, pianist, During intermission, Miss Rolles, who has been directing the Chautauqua performances here, expressed appreciation for the fine receptiom which Chau- taujua had received in Oghawa.

Thanks toa generous prize list, and some new classes whith have been added, keen interest has been aroused in the parade, and Mr. Tod is antici- pating that he will have splendid support from the manufacturers, business men and merchants, as well as from scores of individual citizens, to make the parade the greatest possible success. Comic clowns, jazz bans, decorated floats and cars, comedy outfits, dilapid- ated cars and horse outfits, and many other features are included in the list of classes, and the prizes offered should bring out keen competition.

CAPTAIN OF LIQUOR BOAT TALKS OF RUM ROW ON RADIO (Canadian Press Despatch) New York, June 11--A man de- scribed as captain of a rum run- ner outside the 12-mile limit was interviewed by Ford Frick, news paperman, for radio listeners, The broadcast, over a Columbia net- work, brought from the captain a statement that liquor prices, F.0,B. rum row, are $15 a case for scoteh; $17 a case for rye; and $20 a case for champagne. Frick, according to the broad- cast, contracted the rum captain in a stormy sea and did his inter- viewing from a pitching boat, And for this very liquor, the captain said the American public pays from $60 to $75 a case for scotch, $70 to $90 for rye and about $100 for champagne. "The difference in the market prites," he said, "must take care of the risk in running the block- ade and it must cover losses." The captain believes the finest type of men are in the rum run- ning business and that their word is their bond. He said there was no longer any hijacking and that rumirunning was a regulated business. The worst difficulty at sea, he said, are the coast guards. As for storms, he said, "we pre- fer them in our business." The microphone was installed aboard the rum craft and connect- ed with a short wave set on the vacht Alta Rocea. It was then transmitted to the shore station at Asbury Park and rebroadcast throtigh Station WAPC.

Elmore, neice of Fred Stone, the famous comedian, presented a very versatile program of entertainment at the Chautauqua tent yesterday afternoon.

JAPANESE EGG PLANT MAY BE GROWN HERE Vegetable May Find Good Market in Canada (By The Canadian Press) Ottawa, Ont., June 10.--An egg plant which promises much of value to Canadians is referred to in the annual report of the Direc- tor of Dominion Experimental Farms. As the result of long con- tinued studies the Dominion Hor- ticulturist pakes the following ob- servation: A Japanese egg plant called Negasaki, with fruit too small for the general market, having proved the only egg plant that would produce. a satisfactory crop in many parts of Canada ow- ing to ite earliness, was crossed with the Black Beauty, one of the large but rather late varieties, with the result that an egg plant of good size was produced, which is much earlier that the Black Beauty.

Swanson, Defence Counsel, Attempts to In- fer That Postal Dept. Was Anxious to Get Rid of Fickes WITNESSES GIVEN STIFF EXAMINATION Accused Man Was Soon to Be Pensioned--Inspector Tells of Finding "Decoy" Letter in Fickes' Mail Bag--Case Will Last All Day wg (By Whitby Staff Reporter) Whitby, June 13--On a charge of sigaling a letter containing money from His Majesty's mails in the post office at Oshawa on April 23rd, 1931, Dalton Fickes, letter carrier, in the Motor City, js on trial before Judge Thompson and a jury at the Court House in Whitby. The iria! started Friday afternoon and at six o'clock, with several important crown and defense witnesses yet to be heard, together with the addres- ses to the jury, it looked as if the trial will not finish until late on Saturday, perhaps towards evening. A feature of the Friday afternoon hearing was the lengthy cross-ex- amination of witnesses of defense counsel, D. A. J. Swanson, who has associated with him A, W. S. Greer. One witness was on the stand an hour and a half, and another almost two hours. There were. frequent heated passages between Mr. Swan- son and the Crown Attorney, J. 'A. McGibbon. Another feature, and an outstand- ing one at that, in connection with the evidence tendered by Inspector Little of the Post Office Depart- ment, was a suggestion by Mr. Swanson that it might possibl-- be the practice of the Department to seek reason for dismissals of em- ployees who were resigning or re- tiring with allowances coming to them. Mr. Swanson charged the in- spector with having ulterior motives in prosecuting Mr. Fickes. The story in part of the arrest of Fickes, a returned soldier and letter carrier for several years, and the finding in his mail delivery. sack of a letter, containing money, which was alleged to have been taken by Fickes from a desk after it had been placed there as a "test" letter by In- spector Little, was brought out in the evidence of the witnesses heard. Inspector Little The first witness was John C. Little, inspector of postal service for the Dominion Government, who stated that he was in Oshawa in March and April to investigate al- leged irregularities in the mail ser- vice which had been going on in Oshawa for some time. On April 24th, he went to the Oshawa Post Office and placed "Test" letters on four different desks used by car- riers with the object of seeing if they were handled by the wrong parties. One letter was addressed to Mr. Olaf Nordstron, 313 Carnegie Avenue South, Oshawa, Minnesota, postmarked "Detroit," and it was placed on desk No. 11, the second (Continued on page 3) CALGARY POLIGE STATION ASSAILED Unemployed Stage Attack When Six Are Arrested (C Press D. ) Calgary, June 13.--Three hun- dred unemployed last night assailed the police head- quarters here in attempt to get freedom for six workless who Lad been arrested on charges of obtaining a meal by fraud.
