OSHAWA SCOUT MET ADVENTURE Jeff Terrett Hitch-hiked to Montreal and Had Some Interesting Experiences Since last Saturday one of. Osh- awa's 8th Company Sea Scouts, Jeff Terrett, has had some new and in- teresting adventures. Starting off by himself he headed for Montreal. It was not necessary for him to walk very far for travellers on the highway were very kind and he got ides mpst of the way. Montreal had always been a dream to Jeff, but now it is a reality. He was es- corted about the big city by a Mon- treal Scout and in his travels met a Scout from Mexico who was just on the same kind of a trip as he was. Jeff. found this fellow a most interesting chap and they became very good friends. He did fot fail to relate among his experiences, his meeting some American Girl Scouts who were on a hiking trip. "They just gave me the salute," said Jeff. Yesterday afternoon, after a week of sightseeing, the 8th Oshawa lone hiker, arrived back in the city, "I was all right, travelling alone," he said, * "but I do not think I will try it again." 21st Battalion to Erect Memorial Kingston, July 25----The Twenty- first Battalion, C.EF. of which Brig.-Gen.

The publication, both of which are alleged to have been in the possession of Farkas, consist of a paper-backed hook of some five or six hundred pages, communis- tic and bolehevistic in character, rrinted in the United States, and also a mimeographed pamphlet of eight or nine pages, published in Teronto. The book purports to have been written by 'Rt. Rev. Montgomery Brown, whose photograph in the cloth of his presumable calling, and with the cross of Christian- ity gleaming on his breast, ap- pears as a frontispiece, and who is described as "Episcobus in part- ibus Bolshevikium and Infidel- fum."

The city authorities have been in communication with a majority of the cities of Ontario on the matter of payment for first protection, and find that of the numerous cities who pay on a basis of so much per hy- drant only one, Peterborough, pays a rate which is at all similar to the amount which the Utilities Commis- sion proposes to charge in Oshawa. Some of the cities pay very much more, and some very much less, and with this information in mind the members of the Fire Protection Committee are at a loss to under- staid just how the proposed local basis of charge was arrived at. So-far as the Commission is con- cerned, in computing the proposed charge, there were many things taken into consideration besides the cost of the hydrants themselves and the work, and material used, in their installation. One of the main factors, for instance, in computing a fair charge for fire protection, is that if water was not needed for distribution throughout the city for the protection of property and lite from fire, it would not be necessary to install mains of a larger size than four inches in diameter throughout the Water Works system, while the existing requirements of the city re- quire gains varying in size from a minimum of four inches to as high as twelve inches. The actual water used in fire protection, it is under- stood, is hardly considered at all, or at least as a very minor item, in computing the proposed charges. Beauharnois Plan May Be Taken over by Government Ottawa, July 25" --Premier Louis A. Taschereau of Quebec is willing to come to Ottawa to dizruss with Right Hon, R. B. Bennett and his colleagues of the Dominion Government the fut- ure of the Beauharnois Power Corporation, Intimation to this effect has been received from Mr, Taschereau in response to a tele- gram from Hon, Wesley A. Gor- don, Chairman of the Special Beauharnois Committee, inviting the Quebec Premier to. come. to Ottawa and co-operate with the committee in making suggestions looking to the reorganization and prosecution of the Beauharnois enterprise. Mr, Taschereau is willing to discuss the matter with Premier Bennett and his Cabinet, mittee. To Protect Investors What the Dominion Govern- ment has in mind is that the Beaulfarnois enterprise must be carried on to completion, that in- vestors who put their money into the project in good faith must be protected, and that this can only be ensured by the complete re- organization of the personnel of the company. The Government here is considering taking over the Beauharnois Navigation Can al ag a work for the general ad- vantage of Canada, and it is sug- 8osted that Premier Taschereau but mot with the com- and the Government of Quebec co-operate with the Federal au- thorities by taking over the pow- er-development works of the Beauharnois Corporation, Premier Bennett outlined his policy to the Government caucus yesterday morning, pointing out that the right of navigation was paramount, but explaining that power development was held by the Provinces to be within the legislative and "administrative jurisdiction of the Provinces. First Stage in St. Lawpence There has been no final deci- sion by the Dominion Cabinet pending the conference with Pre- mier Taschereau. But if the ten- tative plans now under consider- ation are consummated the Beau- harnois Canal may yet become the first &tage in the develop- ment of the St. Lawrence Water- way between Montreal and the Great Lakes. The Prime Minister indicated to the caucns that the proposed solution of the Beduharnois tangle, with adequate provision for the safeguarding of investors and bondholders, presages an United States for the develop- ment of the international rapids section of the St. Lawrence. This is the section in Which Ontario is concerned. '; international agreement with the | GAS FRANCHISE DISCUSSED AT TRENTON MEETING Gordon D. "Conant Was the Speaker at Gathering Sponsored by the Rotary Club (Special to The Tjmes) Belleville, Ont., July 25.-- Trenton Rotarians heard the proposals of the Ontario Shore Gas Company discussed last night by Gordon D. Conant, of Oshawa, solicitor for the com- pany at their weekly meeting. Keen enthusiasm was voiced by the members of the club, who were impressed by Mr. Conant's remarks. The latter explained what the company planned to do in the line of laying new mains to Trenton, submitted that the rates would be maintained at the minimum and that the best possible service would be given. "In every town where the com- pany has taken over the plant or in the surrounding territory, the best of service has been given and the ratepayers and gas Users are well satisfied, The company has never fallen down on a promise." Mr. Conant observed that by increased distribution it is plan- ned to establish a higher revenue and operate the Belleville plant at a greater capacity. He point- ed out that permission has al- ready been given by the Ontario Government to lay service mains across the Ontario Highway systems. The speaker indicated that the laying of the mains will help to relieve the unemployment situation in this area, Mayor Lott of Trenton and Col. A. E. Bywater both convey- ed the thanks of the Rotarians to Mr. Conant and supported his proposals, 'I expeg the town council will be taking up the matter of a bylaw permitting the gas company to lay mains here directly," he said. The mayor spoke in favor of the move and said he expected little opposition to it. Col, Bywater, who is a large property-owner, expressed himself as in favour of the gas company coming into Trenton. The question of taking over the Trenton Hydro system has been discussed for some time, but should this move be made, it would have no effect on the plans of the Ontario Shore Gas Company, according to the Ro- tarian speakers. General feeling in Trenton is friemdly toward the gas company. On Thursday evening, a public meeting was held in the city hall at Belleville for the purpose of discussing the gas system bylaws on which the qlectors here are to vote on July 30, The chief speak ers at: this meeting were Eugene C. Lang, of the Utilities Power and Light Corporation. Lt.-Col. B, J. McCormick, secretary of the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce, and Gordon D. Conant, of Osh- awa, Several prominent citizens of Belleville, {including Mayor George Reid, Ald. George Tice, ex-Mayor Bennett and ex-Mayor Panton, also spoke, and the sen- timent of the entire meeting was very strongly favorable to the passing of the bylaws, no opposi- tion of any kind being apparent.

It will be recalled that Com- missioner Stacey and Mr. Colvin were authorized by the Commis- sion to place this order, * the quotations received by the Com- mission being very close, The order for the necessary material has been sent forward and the work of erecting the fence will be proceeded with just as soon as possible, FIVE LO ES .

In a resolution of which he gave notice yesterday afternoon in the House of Commons, the Prime Minister forecast the in- troduction of a bill by which the Government will have authority to spend all it thinks necessary and to take whatever steps it feels essential to maintain "peace, order and good govern- ment in all parts of Canada." Instead of a Parliamentary vote of $50,000,000 or $75,- 000,000 previously suggested, Premier Bennett is asking Par- (Continued on page 3) MAN DISCHARGED BECAUSE OF DOUBT AS TO RESIDENCE Bricklayer on Utilities Building Job About Whom Complaint Had Been Made, Laid Off Acting on the authority given him by the whole Commission, and at their request, Chairman John Stacey, of the Public Utili- ties Commission, made a thor- ough investigation pn Saturday morning into the grounds for the complaint brought forward by the Mayor, at the last meeting of the Commission, to the effect that there was a bricklayer, whose home is in Newcastle, em- ployed on the,construction of the new Utilities Building, contrary to the terms of the contract. Commissioner Stacey reports that there appears to be some doubt as to whether the brick- layer in question ean qualify as "an Oshawa man" within the ac- cepted sense of the term, and under these circumstances he has been "laid off" from work, RED CROSS WORK AT COTTAGE IN NEED OF MONEY Contributions So Far Fall Considerably Short of Needs of Society A splendid gift of $100 from Mr. and Mrs. F, W. Cowan was the outstanding contribution re- ceived by the Red Cross Socicty during the last week for its splendid work at the Red Cross Cottage. In spite of this contri- bution, however, the funds placed at the disposal of the Society are far short of meeting the require ments of the Cottage, and are much below the amounts sub- seribed last year and in 1929. An urgent appeal is made, there- fore, to citizens interested in the welfare of the childres to come to the help of the society by sending in their contributions and making them as generous as possible, Contributions should be sent either to the office of The Times, or to Mrs. M.

Several of the. men involved in these cases are in hard circumstances, owing to inability to work steadily on account of disas bilities, and they cannot understand why their cases could not have been listed for the session of the tribunal which is to open on Monday. Every effort has been made by the local branch of the Legion to have their cases included in the list, but the officials in charge of the tribunals have aparently ignored the appeals made on behalf of these cases, which include one case of a widow whose husband died in 1924, and whose pension claim has so far not been successful. In this case, particular, every possible piece ot evidence was presented some mon= ths ago, yet the case is not listed, although assurance has been given that if time permits, an effort will be made to have this case heard.
