A. THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, JULY 30, 1931 |Bowmanville Daily Times Representative's Phone No. 53: CONSIDERS PLAN FOR TRANSIENTS Councillor Lockhart Would "Make Them Work Be fore Giving Assistance ouncillor Lockhart is workin A new plan of dealing wit! transients passing through the town this coming winter. The Council together with the Com- munity Welfare Committee spent a large sum of money last winter in supplying meals for transients and Councillor Lockhart is of the opinion this is hardly fair in view of the fact that the local unem- ployed have to work for every meal they get while the outsider comes in and gets a meal free. Councillor Lockhart's plan is for a municipal woodpile where transients, desiring a meal, will first split or saw wood for one hour before they are given a meal ticket. By this means it is hoped that worthy cases will be sifted from the unworfhy ones and only those who have a desire to work, will be fed. Mr. Lockhart will present fig- ures to the Council shortly show- ing how cheaply a large pile of wood can .be purchased and how the town could save money by taking up this suggestion. Con- siderable fuel has to be supplied ta unemployed during the winter and the wood cut by the transients could be used for this purpose. While the plan would ensure tha the town was getting somethin for the money it spent on transi- ents it would also have the effect of cutting in half the number of transients staying here or calling for meals. It has been found in the past that probably half of the transients, who sleep nightly in the local jail, have no desire and no intentions of getting work. Their only desire is to eat without having to labor for it. This class of tourists will steer clear of Bowmanville if the municipal woodpile gets under way. AYOFF SERIES IN SOFTBALL STARTS NOW PLAYING To-night the first of the three game series of playoffs commence at the public school between the Front Street and Whiz. Both of these teams have displayed good softball during the season and it will be difficult to find a winner. When these two teams met on May 18th Whiz won by a score of 12 to 7 and when the return game was played on June 29th, Front Street won by 16 to 8. So apparently they are a fairly well matched pair of teams, and al- though Front Street are favored to win Whjz might spring a big surprise, and in any cvent it wil be a fight well worthwhile. NEWCASTLE OUT Trinity United Church won from Newcastle in a .scheduled game at the school grounds last night. By their loss Newcastle is out of the playoffs for the States- man Trophy. Trinity Church have won all games. LARGE CROWD AT ORONO STREET FAIR A huge crowd attended Orono Street Fair last night, an annual event which provides the big night in Orono's year, At sev- en o'clock a8 huge parade of dec- orated cars and floats formed at the Community Hall at Newcas- tle and proceeded to Orono, fol- lowed by hundreds of cars. At Orono the whole street was taken up with te carnival, and dozens of booths did a roaring business until well past midnight, Fred W. Bowen, M.P., officially opened the fair. In the town hall a merry crowd of dancers spent the even- ing on the polished floor to the music of two orchestras. ST. GEORGE'S $.5.

ASKS WIDE POWER (Continued from page 1) ment and Opposition forces the House of Commons. The major parties split on the principle of the right of the Gov- ernment to demand, as appears in the resolution, the right to spend unspecified and unlimited sums "as may from time to time be necessary," but Premier Ben- nett, apparently anticipating the point of: Opposition objection, had said that to specify a relief sum would invite Provincial competi- tion for "their share" of the Fed- eral hand-out, He évidenced no inclination to accept the invita- tion to specify an amount--any amount--when, in the words of Mr. King and Mr, Bourassa, "we will support it." After several hours of warm debate, the resolution was still before the House when adjourn- ment time arrived. It will be dealt with further today. S. A. SONGSTERS HOLD ANNUAL PICNIC in Mrs. G.

GARMENTS WERE STOLEN A letter has been received by The Times with reference to two children having had some of their clothing stolen while bathing in the Rotary Pool, and suggesting to parents that children be not al. lowed to take any valuables there. .and that they take only the mini- mum amount of clothing. H. W. Nicol, who is in charge of the su- pervision of the pool and park, while regretting this incident. stated this morning that it was very hard to avoid this kind of thing, as it would be imposgible, without employing more supervis- ors and instituting a system of checking, to guarantee the chil- dren against dishonesty on the part of one or two who might be at the pool. He agreed with the suggestion that children should take there with them only such articles as were absolutely neces- sary, and that they should be careful to place them in the dress- ing rooms provided, where there was a reasonable chance of safety, WATCH FOUND AT PARK A young Md appeared in juven- ile court this morning for ques- tioning as to a watch which he stated he found at Rotary Park last Friday, his statement that he picked it up being borne out by his companions, He was found, trying to sell the watch, a gold timepiece, to a local jeweller. He was given a lecture by the juven- fle court judge as to the proper procedure to take with found arti- cles. The gold watch is now in the possession of Rev, 8. C. Jar- rett, judge of the juvenile court, who is anxious to find its owner. HALIFAX HARBOR FINEST IN WORLD Sir | I Gibb Is Authority for City's Proud Boast > "There Is no doubt at all and no one can contradict the statement that you have here the finest barbor I have ever seen in the world. The Maker of the uni- verse has been exceedingly kind to you, If you can't make a good job of that you can't do anything." These pregnant remarks served as the keynote of the address of Sir Alexander Gibp, G.B.E, at a dinner tendered him Ana is artner Hh Roaver y the Hal- oh Har ommissioners. Col- c¢nel 'E. C. Phinney, president of the commissioners was chairman of the gathering, and other speak ers were His Honor Lieutenant. Governor Frank Stanfield, Alex Johnson, Deputy Minister of Ma- rine; Colonel A. N. Jones, former president of the Board of Trade, end J. L. Hetherington, Halifax Flarbor Commissioner, who in- troduced Sir Alexander. Sir Alexander said that in his time he had come into contact with a great many people presen- ting cases similar to that to which the Halifax Commissjon had been devoting its attention, but that he had never found any- one submitting a case so clearly and concisely as the case for the Halifax Commissioners had been presented by Col. Phinney and his colleagues Ms. Hetherington and F.'P, Marchant. "You are extremely lucky," said Sir Alexander, 'to have had your case so well presented. You Lave a good case and you have reason to hope for the pest." Canada Best Colony "Speaking as a Britisher, I should like to say that we ragara Canada as our best colony, Cana. da is. the colony of which we are most fond. of, and the Maritime Frovinces we always feel are nearer to us, geographically and in ideals. The Maritime Prov- inces are nearest to us. They are the highlands of 'Scotland to us." Hugh Beaver, a partner of Sir Alexander Gibb, said that he fcund it dificult to disagree with any of the submissions made by Colonel Phinney and his collea- gues, D. R. Turnbull expressed the conviction that the ome factor that has stood in the way of the development of the port of Hall. fax as a national utility has been the failure of people in othsr parts of Canada to realiza that the port of Halifax was their port, rather. than the port of the people of Halifax alone. Devel- opment of the port of Ha'ifax, enid Mr. Turnbull, was the most important port work with which the neople of Canada had to deal. "We are not local in wanting nort development," assertad Mr, Turnbull, and the difficulty of developing this great port will or a body to carry out a thorough study of the ports of Canada as national assets. PARENTS OF BOY * EMPHATIC SON HAD BEEN BRANDED (Continued from page 1) parents this incident occurred on the early evening of July 22, in Rotary Park, where Bobby had gone in the hope of getting a swim in the new pool. Both par- ents agreed that the scars would probably ultimately disappear, and leave no permanent marks on the boy's arm. Scars Examined The scars, now merely partly healed scratches, were examined by a representative of The Times, and although now their appear- ance is not very ciear it is still quite passible to make out thz printed capitals 1, i, and E, while something remains of a first let- ter which might well have been M Mr. and Mrs. Murray regret that the matter hag been given publicity, but on the other hand feel convinced that the boy re- sponsible, wh is known to them and lives in the same neighbor- hood, should be taught a lesson which will prevent his repeating his foolish act, or perhaps doing even more serious harm to some other child. ONTARIO FARM COSTS Hired labor is the biggest sing- le jtem of cost in the operation of fruit farms producing apples as a main crop in Ontario, according to a statement appearing in the Economic Annalist official organ of the Agricultural Economics Branch at Ottawa. From a sur- vey of 148 farms located at var- foue points throughout the apple producing districts of the prov- ince operating costs are reported as follows: -- Hired labour ......

J. L. Hetherington, in introdu- cing Sir Alexander, emphasized the value of the port of Halifax as a factor in developing the na- tion, and lauded the selection of Sir Alexander and his associates first vice-president; M.

HEAPS SPOKE T0 UNEMPLOYED (Continued from page 1) nothing, earns as much or more than a worker is able to do" said the speaker, "Interest in the human element must come first, interest on the toney comes first." Why An Unemployment Problem Mr. Heaps stated "Why have we got the unemployment problem of to-day? Fo-day there is poverty in Canada the like of which has never been seen here before, and yet, on the other hand, there is the greatest accumulation of wealth the world has ever known. Why so much wealth on the one side and so much poverty on the other? Wealth and plenty is caused by the. application of human effort to our natural re- sources, All the worker gets is about twenty-five per cent of the returns from the produét of his labor." Mr. Heaps went on to state that he had letters on file' proving that fish in the packing plants were go- ing bad, "and being obtained free by the residents of British Colum- bia for use as manure,--and this while people are actually starving There 1s something radically wrong with our civilization, and our whole economic structure, when such a condition is allowed to exist." Referring to the suggestion made that labor camps be established for the accommodation of single men employed on public works, Mr, Heaps described the lite in such a camp as "a miserable existence" stating "I am ashamed that in this year 1931, it should appear, to be the only means of providing men with a livelihood." In conclusion he emphasized the attitude of the labor movement as regards the six-hour day, as pre- viously stated, and repeated his pre- vious statement that by organization only, and sending men as parlia- mentary represcntatives, can the labor movement hope for recogni- tion, Local Leader Spoke About 500 men, w omen, and children were in attendance at the meeting, the big Auditorium being about half filled. Prior to introducing the prinei- pal speaker "Eddie" McDonald, who acted as chairman of the meetiff®, spoke at some length on local mat- ters of interest to the unemploy- invested to-day || ed. In connection with the employ- ment of men on the extension of St. N.

The men employed on this job are paid at the rate of six cents per foot of trench, according to "Eddie" "and have to dig three feet six inches deep and eight inches wide." For nine hours work one man re- ceived $2.40. Another $1.20, Eddie McDonald criticized The Times, referring to it as "that Osh- awa paper which is so fond of ad- vertising the Gas Company," stat- ing "we are going to prepare a pre- cis of the speeches made by repre- sentatives of the Gas Company when it was looking for votes, and then appeal to the labor men, in Whitby and Bowmanville as well, to throw out their gas meters, refuse to have anything to do with gas, until such time as the gas company is willing to pay a fair day's pay for a fair day's work." After speaking tor about half-an- hour * Eddie McDonald was inter- rupted by a voice from the audience calling "Let us hear Heaps," . Mr, McDonald explaining that he was "only helping out" it being "hard to ask any man to speak for the whole evening."
