Shows Interest In Solving Unemployment Problem WILL CREATE WORK BY REMOVING CONCRETE BASE OF WATER TOWER Eyesore at Bowling Greens May Be Replaced by Flower Beds--Work to 'Be Done With Hammers and Drills si! "PRESTON DISLIKES PAPER PUBLICITY Commissioner Claims City Suffers Because of Prom- inence Given to "Little Labour Troubles" The Public Utilities Commission is evidently taking a vital interest in the unemployment situation which unfortunately exists at this time in the city and authorized the immediate commencement of work for the purpose of creating some measure of relief, on the removal of the old concrete base for the water tower which used to stand on the vacant plot of land adjacent to the. Bowling Green on the corner of Simcoe Street North and Alexan- dra Street. The unsightly condition of block of crumbling concrete was brought td the attention of the meeting of the Commission yester- day evening by Mayor Marks who suggested that it be removed. "As it is now nothing but an eye- sore," said the Mayor, "it might be converted into a very ornamental flower bed, and placed under the care of the caretaker of the boWl- ing Green, or if it is only remove all together it will certainly improve the appearance of that corner and create work for the unemployed intathe bargain i. ie n discussing this matter Commis- sioner Preston supported the Mayor stating, "the city has got to hand out relief where it is necessary and I believe the majority of the men would sooner have work of some kind. It won't break anybody to spend a little money in getting this work done, no matter what it costs." A motion sponsored by Mayor Marks and Commissioner Preston received the unanimous support of the Commission to the'effect that in order to create employment for men who are now unemployed, the work of removing this ynsightly old concrete be immediately proceeded with. E. A. Colvin, Superintendent of the Water Works Division of the Public Utilities, will be in charge of this work and promised to have it commenced "to-morrow or the next day." It was pointed out that, in de- molishing and removing 'this con- crete, it will be impossible to use dynamite owing to the vicinity of the General Hospital, and all the work of breaking up the base will have to be done with hammers and drills. Dislikes Publicity Further evidence of the thought being given jby public spirited citi- zens to the unemployment problemn was given by Commissioner Preston who had some remarks to pass re- garding publicity received by the city regarding recent. incidents in connection with the construction work on the Commission's new building. "I do not like the publicity that the papers have been giving to Osh- awa and its little labour troubles. To people who read such stuff out of this city, in Detroit forvinstance, it wolud indicate that we have been starving to death here, and that they are becoming desperate. "I do not think that such publicity 1s doing the city a bit of good. Of course the Comimssion is not res- ponsible for what occurred in the carrying out of its contract. I do not think the contractor was even responsible" said Commissioner Preston. The Chairman of the Commission stated that he "did not think much this + SCHOOL FAIR T0 BE IN SEPTEMBER Home and School Club Council Made Plans for Annual Event Last Night The annual fair for Oshawa's schools will be held in September during the week of the Oshawa Fair, the Home and School Club Council decided at a meeting held in the board room of the Oshawa Collegiate and Vocational Insti- tute last night.

Sales in other communit'es have maintained a proportionate sat- isfactory volume, according to Willign C. Herring, General Sales Mr. Herring. SUBDIVISION DEAL FIGURES IN COURT ACTION AT WHITBY Judgment Given for $16, 755.83 and Costs--Fore- closure of Mortgage Or- dered (By Whitby Staff Reporter) An echo of the real estate boom days in Oshawa of a few years ago, when subdivision lots blossomed like the green bay tree, was heard in the non-jury sittings of the Supremee Court in Whitby last week, before the Honorable Mr. Justice Wright, in the case of Patrick J.

A copy of this old prophecy éame to light during the breaking of a monastery wall in Scotland some years ago. It was made, and written by a monk in the year 1701, over 200 years ago the out- break of the Great War, and reads in part, at dollows: "Europe will some day, when the seat of the Pope is vacant, meet with a fearful punishment. Seven nations will turn themselves against a bird was two heads. The bird will defend itself with wings and talent. A monarch who al- ways mounts his horse on the wrong side shall be surrounded by a wall of foes. It will be a hard struggle between east and west and the lives of many men shall be lost. "War chariots shall roll for- ward without horses and fire dra gong shall fly through the air spewing fire and sulphur and shall destroy towns. "Mankind will not listen to the forebodings of God and He shall turn away from them. The war shall last three years and five months. Starvation and disease will 'follow. Bread will be conttol- led and distributed among the people."

There was no special speaker at yesterday's meeting and the entire success of the meeting is due to the efforts .of Kiwanian W. Dewland, Chairman of the Entertainment committee and the exceptional abil- ity shown by the entertainers whom he produced. G.M.C. Quartette Pleasos The General Motors Male Quar- tette and Mr. Harold Smith were the artists and .the gathering, a little smaller than usual, was treat- ed to some high class entertain- ment. In introducing the quartette, Ki- wanian Dewland reminded the meeting that quartette work was even as other work and perhaps a little more so, that: it required a great deal of time, concentration and disappointments before a high standard of quality was attained In rendering four different selec- tions, the General Motors Male Quartette, consisting of J. Ballan- tyne, C. Toaze, C. Lander and A. W. Bell, showed quite clearly that Musical Program Is Feature of Club Luncheon they had attained an exceptionally high standard. Their songs with harmony were very pleasing and they were enthusiastically applaud- ed after each rendition. H. Smith, well known local clocutionist, gave two very interest- ing readings, in a manner which held the undivided attention of the gathering from start to finish. Kiwanian N. Wilson moved a vote of thanks to the entertainers and President R. Birchard express- ed the hope that they would again favour tke club, at a future date, which was heartily endorsed by the entire gathering, Kiwanian H. Parker, of the Win- sor Kiwanis Club, was the only vis- itor present at yesterday's meeting. Kiwanis Camp Opens Sat. Some important business was transacted, mostly concerning the Kiwanis Fresh Air Camp, which will be officially opened for the 1931 season on Saturday afternoon. It was decided to erect a new and commodious building, to be used as sleeping quarters and work was commenced on this last night. It will be finished and ready for occu- pation by Saturday, when the first group of campers take possession of the excellent facilities which are available Having been unable to organize in time 'to 'use the camp during the month of June, the Associated Wel- fare Societies made a request to have the use of the camp at the latter end of the season, from Au- gust 22 till Sept. 5. This time will be used to give the wives of unem- ployed men a short rest, in the op- en air. Permission willingly granted, i was CONDITIONS WHICH FRANCE WANTS NOT FAVORED BY U.S, Special Meeting of French Cabinet Arouses Great Interest (By The Canadan Press) Paris, June 24.-- United States Government has informed France that the conditions which she is expected to attach to her accept- ance of the Hoover moratorium proposal probably would not be regarded with favor in Washing- ton it wag learned today. Hence, there was immense interest when the French cabinet met today, as to whether it would adhere to its counter plan for aiding Germany which was elaborated yesterday and communicated to Ambassador Edge last night, This conditional acceptance is based on France's belief that the Young plan is sacred to her finan- cial structure and it should not be interferred with. She holds that the hank for international settlements should be iniermedi- ary for reception of Germany's unconditional annuities and that money should he used by the bank for financing Germany and other European nations such as Aus- tria. Should French cabinet de- cide to approve the counter plan hope was voiced here that United States would accord the move its earnest consideration because France is convinced it would tain the object which Mr. Hoover is seeking in his proposal. Behind France's policy it was said, is fear that once shaken the Young plan will finally fall completely, Burnett Placed on Suspended Sentence William» Burnett, a young man, pleaded guilty in city police court this morning through his counsel, D. A, J. Swanson, to a serious offense against two young local boys, which it was alleged, took place between April 1st and June 6th. The accused was placed on suspended sentence and given a stern lecture by His Wor- ship. His Worship commented that suspended sentence was a good thing for thoge who were not given to a life of crime and who never again were haled into court. On the other hand it was a serious matter if anyone on suspended sentence again appear. ed in court charged with law infraction as the offense on which he was found guilty and on which he wis placed on sus- pended sentence would then be held against him and the sen- tence which might have been [imposed at that time would be added to his sentence.

Representatives from all parts of the province were present to take part in the election of a leader following the resigna- tion of Hon, G. Howard Ferguson Some twenty voting delegates were expected to be present from the riding of South Ontario. Gathering from all parts of the province from Rainy River to the Eastern Townships , from Essex to Renfrew, Ontario Conservatives to day will elect a leader to fill the post lately vacated by Hon. G. H Ferguson, Canadian High Commis- sioner to London. To all 'appear- ances late last night, endorsation of Hon. George S. Henfy will follow the convention this afternoon. With all evidences of actual com- petition vanished into thin air fal- lowing the withdrawal from the contest of Hon. W, H. Price, At torney-General, and with no: signs of any dark horse giving promise of capturing the crown from its pre- sent holder, the convention late yesterday has assumed the appear- ance of a formal parade of Conser- vatiye amity. Mere confirmation of Premier Henry in the leadership has robbed the convention of much of its glamor. x Jt is expected that Hon. W. H. Price will move the nomination of the premier. When registration headquarters in the Royal York Hotel were clos- ed late yesterday, slightly less than 500 of the 1,702 voting delegates and "special" representatives had applied for their credential cards. Ameng these were many of the delegates who had come from out- side ridings. To-day, it was predict- ed by some members of the Legis- lature, it is unlikely that more than 650 or 700 more will arrive. Among those from the riding who are attending the convention in To- ronto today are Dr. T, E. Kaiser, F. L. Mason, Geo, Hart, A. C. Hall, J. Long, and Geo.

The base of the old tank, erect- ed in 1904, is about thirty feet in diameter at the top, widening tcwards the bottom ty, a maxi: mum of about thirty-five: feet, while it has a depth of twelve feet.
