Armstrong &' Son Proprietors ceeds from this source is expected to be very gratifying. Citizens are reminded that this is the one time in the year that the Rotary Club asks tor any support in its humane work among the halt, blind and crippled. This humane work carried on quietly throughout the year is a cause that must touch the hearts of many. That it is worthy of support is never doubted, and doubtless 1931 as in previous years will see thousands turn out to the event at the new Rotary Park. Work among the crippled or the sick always has an appeal to all classes and the sympathy of the community goes out to those whose bodies are mis-shapen through no human fault of their own. Resi- dents of Bowmanville and district will have an opportunity of express- ing their appreciation of the work among crippled children in the com- munity by entering wholeheartedly into the spirit of the evening and being gencrous in their financial support, KNITTERS WON FROM GOODYEAR With Pitchers Absent the Goodyear Team Lost Chances ---- Goodyear lost all chance of entering the playoffs last night when the Knitting Factory easily Yefeniol them to the tune of 14 o 7. The defeat was excusable, how- ever, in view of the fact that both pitchers, Colwell and Ormiston were on holidays as also was the star first baseman Stew James. This weakened the team consid- erably and the extra playars did not show up at all: we':.. Good- year batted first and failed to score while the Knitters tool a feur run lead in their first. Good- year came near equalizing with three in the next but Knitting factory forged ahead with a like number and took a lead which they held throughout the game. As far as interest was concerned i* was one of the worst games of ihe season. There was no spec- tacular pitching and only a few ng hits.

B. O. Hooper, honorary treasurer of the Ontario Com- mand of the Canadian Legion, delivered a masterly address at the luncheon tendered by the Kiwanis, Rotary and Kinsmen's Club at the city at the Hotel Genosha at noon yesterday. Col. Hooper held the gathering spell- bound by his address, in which he quoted freely from the clas- sics and at the close he was ten- dered the hearty thanks of the audience by Dr. 8. J. Phillips, president of the Oshawa Rotary Club and T. L. Wilson, president of the Oshawa Kinsmen's Club. W. J. Trick, president of the Ki- wanis Club, presided over the gathering, and extended a cor- dial welcome to the guests, who were introduced by M. Mcintyre Hood, president of the Oshawa Branch of the Legion, "A review of present-day con- ditions coming from me would be entertaining and amusing to economists, probably," said Col. Hooper, "and in speaking to you today, perhaps you will just per- mit me to talk about things as I see them; just to recall to your mind, probably, the fact that you are seeing things in the same way, shall I say re-affirming your own opinions of things. "lI took occasion to try to 'write a chapter in history in the year 2500. It is a very entertain- ing occupation. If you should ever be idle, just project your mind forward and see if you can use what you are passing through today as a guide to the history of an advance age. "This is what I accomplished, in a few words: In the year 1900 a definite change appears to have set in, in the matter of mechani- cal methods and trends particu- larly; (bear in mind that this is written in the year 2500;) and during the following . 50 years, from 1900 to 1950, through the exploitation of the world's nat- ural forces, greater progress was made than through the previous 10,000 years. This, of course, made for gigantic. re-construc- tion, with its natural corollary of wars and revolutions, It was late in the 20th century that the people of the world discovered that they had been left to work out their own destiny on the smallest of inhabitable planets. "We are a little more than half-way through those fifty years, and we are in the midst of that condition of social and industrial revolution, just in the heart of it; we are feeling it, it is throbbing around us, it is giv- ing concern to all the peoples of the world. We see different men adopting different attitudes of mind. 1 heard a clergyman not long ago say that it was the beginning of the era of a great- ly-improved world, meaning that there was a sort of rejuvenation about to take place, a reconcili- ation with God, and that we were about to launch into that, as il it were an imminent thing we were about to enter into, We hear others say that we are on the verge of the wiping out of civilization as we have known it, and that we are going to take a deep plunge into darkness, "I don't think, and I am sure you don't think, that anything of that kind is part of the present- day system. There is a line in Tennyson oddly appropriate; 'Yet all experience is but an arch where through gleams the un- travelled world whose margin fades forever and forever as we move'. And-€o it is in that light that I would like to consider the episodes of this year and day-- that it is an untravelled world, the margins fading, and that we are experiencing new develop- ments, new evolutions, we are moving forward into something that in the order of things wili be satisfactory. as the scroll un- rolls, "And so in my weak way I would like to give to people tos day when and as I have the of- portunity, that idea of courage, standing fast, serenity, confid- ence in the working out. You will say that there is very little to encourage that. You will say the countries of the world are in a sadly chaotic state. You will point to the revolutions in South America. You will point to the condition in Spain, to the curious development taking place in China, to the rather ravelled condition of life in India, to the extraordinary unemployment problems in all the Western countries of the world, the fact of an unbalanced position of power as represented by the great hoarding of gold in France and America, the extraordinary fact that the great markets of the world are in a mdnner of speaking smashed, because of that hoarding, the fact that even Canada itself--the most pleasant place in the world at the present time to live---has its own prob- lems. In spite of all these I say that these are only episodes in the great unravelling of the greater scheme. In Favored Position "Canada is in a particular fav- ored position. As to tha general financial position of the country, The National Industrial Confer- ence Board, Inc., of New York, an organization devoted to the most careful and scientific en- quiry, recently had this to say: 'Canada has no special financial difficulties, and is free froma in- ternal or external political dis- turbances. The soundness of the financial structure and the rela- tive absence of political difficul- ties make the prospects of an Legion Officer Spoke To City's Service Clubs economic revival more promising than in most other countries.' It is reasonable to assume that the Board took into account govern- ment finances and the general position of the banks, which con- tinue their traditional policy of maintaining large reserves; the Bank Statement for May, a con- solidation of the balance sheets of all chartered banks, showed the combined investment account, comprised mainly of government, municipal and other high-grade securities, at the highest point since 1919. The total of this ac- count, 668 million dollars, to- gether with other quick assets, including substantial gold hold- ings, represented 55 per cent. of all deposit liabilities and about 90 per cent. of savings de- posits, a position of liquidity which is one of the most out- standing in world banking. - Will Prove Real Leader "The Mother country is pass- ing through an. experience just ag difficult in the uncertainty of the outcome as was the period of the Great - War, She will handle her troubles in her usual way, and it seems to me that Ramsay MacDonald, trained in a school of long service and care- ful thinking both as leader of the opposition and as Prime Minis- ter, will prove now as leader of the coalition government a man raised up by God to lead our people out of the wilderness. "And so I bring that to you today as the answer for so many things if we will only have wise, reverential] confidence in the 7uide of all development through which the world has passed. Nor am 1 saying that in a religious sense. I am saying it merely as a man to mature men and women who have learned to put first things first, '""The War was only an episode in the long history of things, and probably not a very import- ant episode if we were in some way permitted to see the year 2500 to which I referred. Prob- ably greater and more extraor- dinary episodes will take place. But assuredly they will be iden- tified with the unfolding of a great scheme--a scheme in which thought will rin all through, clearer and clearer, in which the oldicr and statesman will both have their place. "Now you will say that is not clear thinking, it is not specific thinking. But when one has lived as long as I have lived, and has felt things in life a keenly, both its important gor- rows and its important joys, one rather hesitates to speak posi tively or specifically about any- thing. One can only reach out, and reading the chapter that has been written interpret the mean- ing of that into the chapters that will be written; one, sees through all the record of history a guiding thought, an overriding spirit, one can, I think, with confidence say, "All is well. All will be well." The present will give way to a more con- tident attack on the future. We will recognize that what these years mean jis just a reproduc- tion of similar episodes similar periods, in the past; and that we will get through, probably using the lessons of these turbulent times for a better, a more ef- ficient world in the future, Col- onel Hooper's message to the members of the Legion follows: "Five years' survey work of the Legion makes me realize how grave the task was of tying together the energies of returned men from Coast to Coast. At first there was a multiplicity of organizations, each one represented by a group of hard-working men and each one with an assured conviction that organization was necessary. The task was grave because there were only a few to bear the heat and burden of the day, only a few who felt that before very many years had enrolled com- bined effort would be required to keep the needs of their com- rades before that public they had served so faithfully during the years of the War, Must Recognize Responsibility "ITow well that work has been done and how faithfully the few have laboured--ten thousand of their comrades bear witness to- day. Pensions legislation has de- veloped largely through the united voices of our comrades who are members of the Legion making the needs of less fortun- ate comrades and their depend- ents known to the Government and today as a result we have the most comprehensive and gen- erous pensions legislation of any country in the world. But our duty does not end there. It is one thing to create machinery but it is quite another thing to operate it, The Legion must recognize its responsibility in the operation of the machinery so generously created by the Gov- ernment, The Government ex- pects our guidance and help. Let us not fail in this / great. duty. Every ex-service man should be a member of the Legion, This is the only voice that will be heard and as the vears pass new prob- lems in which every ex-service man may be vitally and person- ally interested will have to be solved. Please do not leave these things for someone else to do. The men in the larger cities have failed to carry their share of the burden. Comrades our generation fs passing and we must consoli- date our numbers\and da our job or we will soon cease to be even a memory.

If Oshawa, Toronto, Hamilton and Ottawa, forgetting petty differences with- in and ignoring resistance from without, will learn to pull their own weight in the boat the even- tual placing of the Legion as a formulator of National Policies may be more quickly consu- mated, '""We serve not alone our coun- try; we serve not alone our com- rades; we serve rather the im- mortal spirit of the greatest days in the history of our modern world.

INTERESTED IN UNEMPLOYMENT (Continued from page 1) i's share of the burden, could be idopted." In addition, the renort urges the orgamization of legion employment and re committees, which would have as their chief aim the educa- tion of employers of labor as to responsibilities in giving pre- ferential treatment in the employ- {ment of handicapped war veterans, Party Patronage Touching on the provincial field, the report demands the abolition of party patronage, even as a tempor- measure during the period of unemployment, and sets forth the principle that no government posi- tion or work should be given to other than unemployed men at the t time. "There should be no cases of government positions go- ng to retired farmers or other men of affluence while there is a single n out of employment, > report says, It reiterates the policy of returned soldier preter- ence in government employment, and asks that local Legion branches be consulted regarding the filling of any government position in their localities, The report recommends that the provincial government be asked to assist in the establishment of small holdings for market gardens or poultry farms, by supplying stock from government experimental sta- tions agricultural colleges free of char to war veterans who are deemed by local employment coun- cils to be qualified to operate such holdings successfully, The question of northern Ontar- io labor camps is touched upon, and the: suggestion thrown out that there are thousands of veterans qualified by army experience, to act as toremen, cooks, cooks' helpers, clerks and timekeepers, The re- port also suggests that the eight hour day be adopted for nurses and attendants in provincial hospitals, as a means of providing further em- ployment for nursing sisters and former hospital orderlies who are now unemployed, In the federal field, the report in- sists on the retention of the return- ed soldier preference, and suggests that grants to municipalities for un- employment relief work and direct relief be made statutary, instead of having to be passed from year to year, Stress is laid upon the responsi- bility of the federal government for the care of disabled and handicap- ped veterans, and the suggestion made that wider markets be sought for Vetcraft goods, by the employ- ment of war veterans as salesmen to push the sale of these prod- ucts, . The suggestion is made that the federal government also assist in the plan of small holdings by giv- ing assistance in acquiring the land to be sub-divided, and in the errection of suitable buildings. Un- employment insurance under a con- tributory plan is favored, but atten- tion is drawn to the fact that thous- ands who have been unemployed for months would be unable to bene fit from such a scheme unless spec- ial provision were made for them in the initial stages of the opera- tion of the scheme. " Form National Council Mr. Hood's report then goes on to suggest*more drastic remedies, including the forination of a Nae tional Eniployment Council of the best brains available, representing manufacturers, agriculturists, expert interests and skilled and unskilled labor, with Legion representation. The report then continues: "We would go even further. We would declare that the Jresung eco- nomic situation, with all its fami- fications of unemployment, consti- tutes a national emergency, and that a complete political truce be called. The situation is sufficiently serious to justify calling into' coun- ary preser 20cder Blaen Teas * TEA | Enjoy the Janey of drinking Lyons' wd ong Teo prices br so reasona everybody afford to buy the best tea can the world produces.

We believe the present situation is sufficiently of an emergency to justify the for- mation of a Union government such as was found necessary for the suc- cesstul prosecution of the war in Great Britain in 1916, and in Cana- da in 1917. "Failing so drastic a step as that, we would suggest the formation of a National body, akin to the Im- perial War Council which directed the affairs of the Empire during the war. Such a council would of necessity have wide powers, and its decisions would be subject to the approval of parliament, if in session or of the government of the day." In closing, the report issues a warning against Communism, and warning the Legion of its duty to fight this menace, while at the sare time it suggests summary deporta- tion of all Communist agitators, so as to rid the country of a menace to its peacc and happiness, "The Legion today has no more pressing problem before it," says Mr. Hood, "than that of the great amount of unemployment among war veterans. It is our duty to re- cognize this problem, to examine the causes to determine what the Legion can do to better conditions, and to use all our intelligence and all our energies in bringing to light any proposals which might be of value in creating new fields of em- ployment for those of our comrades who are victims of the depression which has caused much hard- ship and depression." so RED CROSS HOME SUBSCRIPTIONS Total Amount Received To Date Is $613.74 Although few donations have been received recently, another generous subscription was receiv- ed by The Times today toward the work of the Red Cross Cot- tage at the lake. J. D. MacKay, an active member of St. Andrew's United Church and a prominent church worker, is the latest don- or, having presented the Society with a cheque of $10.00. There are still a number of children being given a much needed outing at the Red Cross Cottage and only the generosity of Oshawa citizens makes it pos- eible for the Society to continue its work of improving the health of underprivileged children. A week or two spent at the cottage, in ideal suroundings with plenty of good food, sunshine and fresh air available, can do much to im- prove the health of any under- nourished boy or girl. Subscriptions are still heing re ceived by Mrs. M. Hezzelwood, of 97 Albert street, treasurer of the Society, and also by The Times.

BURGLAR VISIT A FIFTH FLOOR City's Boldest Robbery Is Reported From Halifax Halifax.--One of the boldest burglaries in the criminal annals of this city was indicated in a report to the Halifax Police De- partment. Saturday evening, that furs valued at .approximately $4,500 had been stolen in broad daylight from the rooms occupied by Coleman and Company, fur- riers, on the fifth floor of the Roy building on Barrington street. According to the report made to the police, the furrier"s rooms were closed at 1 o'clock, at which time nothing was missing, but at 5.30 p.m., when the man- ager, John A, Barrs, returned from a motor trip to Kentville, the room was in disorder and the goods were missing. A check- up, it was said, showed two packing cases had been removed from the store, and it was pre- been carried away in these boxes. The only clue to the identity of the robber. was furnished a local newspaper by the elevator operator in the building, who said she took a man carrying two large cases from the fifth to the ground floor of the building late in the afternoon. She de- scribed the man and expressed confidence that she could easily identify him. She had seen him about the building several times within the last few weeks, she said. . SPEAKS FRENCH LIKE A NATIVE Small Oshawa Visitor Caused Quite a Come. motion Clerks in the Savoy Store on Simcoe St. South were greatly amused yesterday after- noon when a little lad of four vears entered the store and start- ed to carry on the purchasing of some sticks of candy, speaking a foreign language. No one was able to understand what the little tot was saying when finally a gen- tleman followed him into the store and told him to address the lady clerk in English. The child did as 'hé was told and walked out of the store with his sugar sticks. He is Ross Worrall, the nephew of Mrs. W. J, Richards, King Street East, and is visiting in town with his mother, Mrs. J. Worral of Montreal and his sis- ter, Audrey. Although only four years old the little lad speaks both French and English. Neither his mother nor father speaks French but he has learned it from the French children he plays %ith at home, and it is quite apparent that he prefers to speak French, for only when his parents insist does he speak in English, Master Wor- ral paid a visit to The Times this morning and tried some of his baby French on the reporter who talked to him and who was con- vinced of the fact that "High School ' French" would hardly do in Montreal.
