DEATH CALLED OLLIE SEBERT One of old "Guard of La- crosse Players Passes At Whitby (By Whitby Staff Writer) Ollie Sebert, a life-long resident of Whitby and district, and one of the old guard in Canada's national game, lacrosse, passed away at his home on Byron Street North, Whit- by, on Saturday afternoon after an illness which confined him to his bed for a year and a half. He was in his 76th year. His passing re- moves one who was held in the highest esteem in Whitby and the village of Brooklin for many years and one who in his earlier days was an outstand athlete and promoter of amateur sport. A kindly gentlemen quiet and unobtrusive, his passing will be deeply regretted not only in the city of Oshawa and this district but in sporting circles throughout Canada. The late Ollie Sebert was born near Oshawa, the son of Frederick and Mrs. Sebert, pioneer settlers of this part of the country, the rather engaging in early railway construc- tion on the old Grand Trunk -Rail- way. At ong time he was engaged in the bus and livery business with his brother, the late Louis Sebert. He went to Brooklin from Whitby, and lived there for 35 years, return- ing to Whitby six years ago. For a long time he was a familiar figure in the Whitby House, where his kindly manner and courtesy made for him many friends among the traveliiig' public. In fraternal cir- cles he was an Oddfellow, and in religion an Anglican, attending All Saints' Church, Mr. Sebert was the only member living in this district of the famous lacrosse team, the "Maple Leafs" which won theglacrosse champion- ship of Canada in 1878, fitty-three years ago, when they defeated Brampton. As a boy Oilie Sebert played Can- ada's national game on the site of the old Queen's Hotel now bgtter known as the Bassett block on Sim- coe Street North, Oshawa. These were the hectic days of lacrosse in this district, and the Maple Leafs, of which Sebert was one of the outstanding players, ; soon became famous and won success after suc-, cess, culminating in w the Canadian championship. Two years ago, when the General Motors team won the Mann Cup as champions of Canada Mr. Sebert was present at the banquet given in their honor in the Motor City, and in special edi tion of the Oshawa Daily Tim printed on that occasion," wrote very interesting article on the eal days of lacrosse in this district, this article were mentioned members of the famous M fs, some of whom still live t ist in Beyond, In his younger days Mr. S thers have passed to the Gi is ap oh orning nited Churdme of the pibneers, of the was also 'an outstanding long service was FORMAL OPENING OF NEW CHURCH Dedication of Grace Luth- eran Building Planned For Aug. 30 Details for the dedication of the new Grace Lutheran Church building were announced at the church service yesterday. On Au- gust 30 there will be three festi- val services, celebrating the offi- cial opening of the new church. Speakers of wide reputation have been invited 'to preach for the oc- casion. In the morning service the Rev. Ernest Hahn, of Toronto, will preach. The afternoon ser- vice will be conducted by the Rev. Frank Malinsky, of Elmira, who is the President of the Ontar- to District Lutheran Church. The speaker for the evening service will be the Rev. Arthur Preiseling er, of Hamilton, who is well known to the Lutherans of Osh- awa, for through him the Luther- an Mission was conducted previ- ous to the arrival of the resident pastor, Rev. A. C. Hahn. The dedication marks the com- pletion of the building program that was launched during the ear- ly summer. The contract for the work was awarded to the W. J. Trick Co., on April 25. Actual work on the construction was started on May 11. Within two months the building would have been ready for occupation had the furniture been installed at that time. For the past few Sundays ser- vices have been conducted in the basement of the church. Even after the furniture had been in- stalled it seemed desirable to the members of the congregation not to use the auditorium of the main floor before the official dedication. The main body of the church as been greatly beautified and :rnished by donations from in- {viduals and societies. The La- dies' Ald donated the pews of hard wood, with ornamented ends, planned to seat 108 'people. The beautiful alter and pulpit are a donation from Mr. and Mrs. F, M. Dahmer. The pupils and teach- ers of the Sunday School present- ed the congregation with a fine pulpit Bible. The ' velvet altar anfl pulpit cloth are a presenta- tion of Mrs. A. E. Wolf, of' St. Louis, mother of Mrs. A. C. Hahn. In order to entertain the out- of-town visitors who are invited to the dedication, the Ladies' Aid will serve dinner and lunch in the basement of the church. Over- night visitors will be invited into the homes of members and friends of the congregation.

McDonald, who was standing on a park bench addressing the crowd, did not notice the woman until she hit him. The blow was so unexpected and was delivered with such force that the leader of the jobless fell from the bench to the ground. Before he could recov- er himself, the woman again at- tacked hum and it was with dirfi- culty that spectators dragged the angry assailant from her victim. Today McDonald walked into the police station and laid a charge of assault against Mrs. Steven Pankiw, of 319 Bloor street east, who it is alleged was his attacker. Steve Pankiw who was present at the mecting at the time his wife as- saulted McDonald and who himself became involved in a scrap as he attempted to prevent spectators from interfering with the pair, has also been charged with disorderly conduct on the complaint of Mc- Donald. "I didn't intend to hold any meet- ing Saturday afternoon," McDonald informed The Times today, "but some of the fellows came and told me that there was a big bunch at the park and that a lot of Com- munists were there too. I then decided to go down and address the crowd so that the Communists wouldn't get thé idea I was afraid of them. 1 had been speaking for about ten minutes and was describ- ing our plans to operate the lunch room for single, destitute men, when this woman came up. I was stand- ing on the park bench and didn"t notice her until she struck me. She hit me good and hard and as I wasn't prepared for it | was bowled right off the bench. In all I think she struck me seven times. We don't want this kind of stuff at our meetings so that is why I am making the complaint." Information concerning Steve Pankiw's eligibility to work on the city relief gang which McDonald had given to Mayor Marks may have aroused Mrs. Pankiw's spite against him, McDonald said. "I was told that Pankiw had a big bank account and didn't need relief work. I gave my information to the Mayor and he said he would inves- tigate, so perhaps the woman has a grudge against me." Mrs. Pankiw is a French-Cana- dian while her husband Steve, is an Ukrainian, She is tall, heavily- built and unusually strong. HONORARY BODY T0 INVESTIGATE Ontario Research Commit- tee On Unemployment to Function in Oshawa An Rismployment research com- mittee of 17 economists and public men has been formed in Ontario with the object of making a hurried scientific survey of unemployment conditions in 17 cities of this pro- vince, including Oshawa. This com- mittee was formed voluntarily and the data gathered, with any recom- mendations that may be decided on, will be provided to the Governmen- tal and municipal authorities en- gaged in relieving unemployment. It 1s expected a report will be made in October. W. F. Nickle, K.C, of Kingston, is the honorary chaitman of the committee and W. A. Mackintosh, Ryoressor of economics at Queen's niversity, is a member of the com- mittee. The officers are E. D. Mac- Phee, Toronto, chairman; Alexan- der Stark, Toronto, treasurer, and H. M. Cassidy, Toronto, director of research, The personnel of the committee is as follows: G. Frank Beer, Toronto; J. P. Bell, Hamilton; W. A. Boys, K.C, Barrie; Prof. H. M. Cassidy, Toronto; D. B. Harkness, Toronto; R. W. Hopper, Toronto; Prof. G. E. Jackson, Toronto; W. A. Mac- kintosh, Kingston; J. Toronto; E. D, McPhee, Toronto: Prof. H.

Nickle, of Kingston, a former Ontario Attorney-General, Honorary Chairman of the Unem- ployment Research Committee of Ontario in outlining the plans of the Committee, said that, "There is com- mon agreement that unemployment is at present a most serious prob- lem. Many conferences have been held recently and many voices have been raised to suggest how it should be met. But there is a very marked lack of organized information on the nature and extent of the problem in Canada, and it is obvious that wise policies of amelioration or cure cannot be formulated and put into effect until this gap in information is bridged.

Lindgergh rested today in pre. partion for their 897-mile flight to Nemuro, Japan. The famous couple, on an aerial vacation trip, landed there at 3 p.m, yesterday (1 a.m. Sunday E. S.T.), after a flight of 554 miles from Karagin Island, off the Eas- tern Siberia coast. They expected to take off for Japan this morning, ployment Research Committee of Ontario. "Since the most mmediate phase of the problem is that of meeting the present emergency with provi- sion of relief for the unemployed, the Committee has undertaken as its first task to make a fact finding survey of unemployment relief in certain selected Ontario cities. "Un- der the circumstances, it seems highly desirable that a serious ef- fort should be made to make a sur- vey of last year's problem of unem- ployment relief and the way in which it was met, and to appraise, insofar as possible, the social re- sults* blowing from the relief pro- gram. In other words a social au- dit of relief of expenditures and methods up to date should be under- taken. "It is proposed that the survey, which is already under way, 'be pressed forward as rapidly as pos- sible during the summer months so that at least a partial report may be prepared for distribution by the beginning of October. Since it will be impossible in the brief time avail- able to cover very much territory, it is planned to confine intensive work to seventeen Ontario munici- palities, Toronto, Hamilton, Ottawa, Windsor, London, Brantford, St. Catharines, Niagara Falls, Chatham, Stratford, Kitchener, St. Thomas, York Township, Oshawa, East York Township, Belleville and Kingston. "The preliminary outline of the study calls for investigation of the problem in these communities un- der the following main headings: (1) Analysis of the unemployed. (2) Analysis of destitution and dependency.

Leader Was Attacked KINGDOM OF GOD As He Spoke in Park Eddie McDonald Knocked From Bench as He Addressed Meeting of Unemployed--Lays Complaint Against NEEDS PRAYER Rev. Dr. Semple Preached Stirring Sermon In Local Church The old gospel, the power of Christ unto salvation, the power which could be the most tre- mendous, vital force in the world today was Lhe subject of a thoughtful sermon preached by Rev. Dr. James Semple, B.A., BD, D.Th., of Smith's Falls, at the combined evening service of King Street and St. Andrew's United Church congregations held in King Street United Church last night, It was the apostle Pzul who wrote said the preacher, 'Save in the cross of Curist I glory" and who boldly asserted that he was not ashamed to preach the gos- pel of Christ for it was the power unto salvation. In describing the three great early leaders of the church, one writer, Dr. Semple stated, had spoken of John as the great ex- ponent of love, Peter had been characterized as the staunch founder of catholicity while Paul was the apostle of progrest. ""History is certainly richer be- cause of the life of Saul of Tar- sus," the speaker said "The whole world is indebted to him for his courage in preaching the gospel, to the Jew first, then to the Gentile and then to the bar- barian." ; After twenty years of his min- istry, Rev. Mr. Semple declared, Paul was determined to visit Rome, the imperial city and great heart of the Roman Em- pire. Nothing could dissuade him, the apostle went to Rome and for two years he preached to the Romans. Because of his faith, and the faith of his little band of followers, the gospel proved stronger tham Rome, stronger than 'the empire and revolution- ized the whole Roman world. In this day too, with faith and prayer, the gospel could be the strongest force 'in all the world, more powerful than money, greater than 'education and mightier than the forces of evil. '""But as the great Dr. Kagawa told me when I met him recent- ly," Dr. Semple concluded, "there can be no Kingdom of God move- ment in Japan, Canada or any other part of the world unless there is earnest prayer."

Description of their visit to the Kiopow house on the night of Sun- day, July 5, was given to the court by Constables Willard, Goodwin and Foreman, and Sergeant M. Bow- man, Constables Willard and Good- win stated that they were walking past the house when they noticed the light streaming throughs one of the windows. 'Lhe blind was up and looking through the window they could see into a room where there men were sitting at a table with g.asses before them. There seemed to be beer in the glasses, while there was also a pitcher on the table and a bottle apparently con- taining beer. 'Lhe officers sought Sdmiesion jo the house but the back door was locked and they were for- ced to wait several minutes before a woman, Mrs. Klopow,.opened it. "We found the glasses on the table but they were empty," Con- stable = Wiliard testified. "There was foam on the bottom of cach glass indicating that they had con- tained beer. 'there was also a pit- cher, with some foam on the bot- tom of it and a bottle of beer. There were three men in the house whom 1 knew didn't belong there. P. C. Goodwin confirmed Con- stable Spencer's evidence. "I went upstairs and found three boys up there," he said. After knocking and waiting for several minutes, Sergeant Bowman had gained admission. through the front door of the house. He had also seen the three men. There was a barrel of beer "working" in the kitchen, P. C. Foreman who entered the house afew minutes later said. tnat he searched the celiar and found 135 quarts of beer, "We don't dency that," D. A. J. Swanson counsel for the accused observed, "My client makes good beer and had plenty on hand." 'I'aking the witness stand, Mrs. Klopow who was present when the police raided her home denied that «here had been any drinking going on. Questioned by A. C. Hall, who acts as prosecutor for the Domin- ion cases of this kind, Mrs, Klopow admitted that there were three men in her home. 'They had come to sec her husband, she said. "The beer was for my own use," she said. "We drink it all oursel- ves." . Klopow, who told the court that he has been living in Canada since 1911, denied that he every treated anyone to his: homebrew. "I have a permit and make it all for myselt and family," he stated. D. A, J. Swanson moved for dis- missal ot the action on the ground that there was no evidence that other persons, besides members of his own family had been drinking Klopow's beer, Magistrate Creighton, however, considered that the Crown had pro- duced strong circumstantial evid- dence which the defence had failed to refute, The fact that there was such a great quantity of beer in the house and that the police had seen the three men with beer before them, was sufficient to show that the accused was infringing the act. "I don't take any delight in these cases, but I must find Kiopow guil- ty on the evidence before me," His Worship stated.

"| Reginald Fry, Agnes St, Met Tragic Death--Div- ed Into Wave, Never Re- appearing on the Surface WAS REPORTED AS STRONG SWIMMER Dead Boy Highly Thought of --Assitted in Leader- ship of Cub Pack in Boy Scout Movement -- No Inquest Necessary. The life of a promising young Oshawa man was cut tragically short on Sunday afternoon by the accidental drowning at Bowman- ville of Reginald Fry, eighteen- year-old gon of Mr. and Mrs. W. J, Fry, 152 Agnes Street. The unfortunate lad drove to the Bowmanville Beach to spend Sunday afternoon, accompanied by two chums, Ted and Ralph Bell, where they were joined by another friend, Frank Blunt, of Bowmanvile, the sad tragedy oc- curring while the three were dis porting themselves in the water. They were swimming from the pier and had decided to swim out to some rocks a few hundred feet away when Fry, according to the stery told by his companions, see ing a big wave approaching dived headlong into it, The other boys followed his example but, while Reginald was caught in the under tow, and dragged beneath the water, came to no mishap. His ' chums continued their swim out to the rocks without missing their companion until afe ter their arrival, when they im- mediately returned to the spot where they had dived beneath the waves and commenced a fran- tic search. - Unable to find any trace of the missing lad an alarm was given and Fred Depew, a well-known Bowmanville fisherman, informed the police, while the lad's friends continued their efforts. The une dertow was very strong, and it was with the greatest difficulty that even very strong swimmers were able to return to. the sure face while diving. Chief of Police Venton immedi= ately sent to Oshawa for-grappling irons and for four hours the search was kept up. The lad's father in Oshawa was acquainted with his absence shortly after he disappeared and helped in the dragging operations, and was also a witness when the body was found and brought to shore by Frank Blunt of Bowmanville who dived and found the body near the pier where it had been drawn by the undertow. It was at 7.45 p.m. when the body was brought ashore and placed in a Bowman= ville undertaking parlour ambule ance for removal, No Inquest Necessary Dr. H. Ferguson, County Cor« oner, was called in the absence of Dr. V. H. Storey, the town Core oner, and on viewing the remains and hearing the details of the ac. cident, decided that an inques was not necessary. Speaking to The Times last night, Dr, Ferguson stated that = death was plainy attrabutable to drowning and that there were no marks on the body to indicate that he might have struck a rock in diving or to have suffered any oth- er mishap. The body was re- leased for burial and removed to. Oshawa. This accident is the first to ha pen at the beach in Bowmanville since 1927 when the young son of Mr. and Mrs, T. A. Garton, was drowned therd. It is understood that there is little or no life sav= ing equipment at the beach des spite the fact that hundreds swim there every day of the week. O ing to the shallow water runn out for some distance from the shore it has always been consider ed a safe bathing place and a ser- fous undertow had not been re- ported there for some years, Reginald Fry is stated to have been a good swimmer, well able to hold his own with other boys (Continued on page 3) IEEE EEE RE REE EEN SCHOOLS OPEN SEPT. 1 In accordance with reg- ulations issued by the On- tario Department of Edu- cation the schools of Osh- aawa, the Collegiate and Vocational Institute, pub- lic schools and separate school, will re-open after the summer vacation on Tuesday September 1.
