BEAR AND CUBS NEAR LINDSAY Hired Man at Fenelon Falls Got Quite a Shock 'Lindsay, Sept. 1.--While ' cut- ting beaver hay on the farm of Wellington Perdue of Somerville hired man, William Cavanagh, was startled when he found his way obstructed by a huge mother bear and two small cubs, each of which would weigh six pounds. Just as he was deciding to put his horse-power cutter into high, the bears turned and fled in the oppo- site direction, to the relief of Cavanagh. s . Mr. Perdue had recently lost nine sheep, and is of the opinion that Mrs. Bruin was the thief. A large bear was noticed by farm- ers at Swamp Lake recently, and these farmers have been guarding Lheir stock ever since, PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN GOOD SHAPE Many Improvements Made During Summer Holidays Oshawa's school were well prepar- ed to welcome back hundreds of pupils today arter the conclusion of the long summer vacation. During the past two months a great deal of work was done in practically all the schools, while the grounds and sur- roundings were improved, Not only did the maintenance plans of the Board of. Education put the school buildings in fine condition but also were the means of pro- viding work for a number of men who otherwise would have been un- employed. T tl; prepared by C. H. R. Fuller, the board's business man- ager, was presented to the Board of Education last night by Ross Mac- Kinnon, chairman of the property committee, and indicated the amount of work which has been carried on by this committee dur- ing the summer vacation period. With regard to grass cutting the report states that instead of allow- ing grass to grow to abnormal length and then cutting it with a mower, unemployed men were giv- en this work to do with the usual hand propelled lawn mower, at least once in each two weeks. As a re- sult the appearance of the school grounds was much improved. A large program of laying out flower beds and shrubs was carried out this. sumemr and a spegial prize for caretakers for having the best- kept school grounds, dondted by courtesy of the Oshawa Horticul- tural Society, stimulated the inter- est. of the caretakers in horticultur- al work. The school grounds are now a matter of pride. A great deal of construction and maintenance work was done at each school and it is best described in the following clear summary which was included in the property commit- tee's report.

Sir Hall had been in a serious condition for several days, due to lung congestion, His health had been poor since more than a year ago, when he was forced to stop work on his 'Life of Christ," which even then was spoken of as n outstanding literary effort, al- ough not completed at his rath, Hig wife and two sons were at the bedside when he died at 10.F5 p.m. Fall Caine was born in 1853 ir Punc rn, on the banks of the Merse:. At a very early age he went to live with relatives in the Isle of Man. His boyhood in the little Man Island, spent in condi- tions of poverty which, however, possessed nothing of a degradin' character, influenced considerably his imaginative . character-writ ing in future years. Hall Caine's foster-parents eventually sent him to Liverpool with the idea of making him an architect; instead he became connected with the once-notable Liverpool Mercury. Newspaper writing was so unsat. isfying that Hall Caine petitioned for a reduction in salary so that he mizht have more time for nov- el writing. After six years in Liverpool the young anthor went to London. Here he lived with D. G. Rossetti, as a sort of sec- retary-companion, until the poet- painter's death. For nearly 50 years Hall Caine produced novels and plays, many of the latter being dramatized versions of his novels. One of his greatest early successes was "The Deemster," a story of early life in the Isle of Man. The plot of the tale is crude, but there are passages in the book which re- veal a graphic imagination in con- juring scenes which would be pro- vided in such a far-away spot as was the island a couple of cen- turies ago. Even more outstand- ing was the success which the au_ thor achieved by "The Manx- man." Thirty years back, of course, the 'novel of passion" was regarded with something of a stealthy interest. There was really nothing, however, in "The Manxman" to which the prudish could raise legitimate objection. These novels, and a few others as virile, made Hall Caine's repu- tation and his fortune. He acquir- ed Greeba Castle, one of the largest residences in the Isle of Man, and for some years sat in the House of Keys, the Manx Parlia- ment. The native Manx population did not entirely appreciate the adver- tisement which the island deriv- ed from Hall Caine's writings. They were inclined to reproach him for having portrayed his principal Manx heroine as a fallen woman, and another prominent character as a canting humbug. Those islanders, too, who were proud of the history and tradi- tions of their birthplace, were an- noyed at liberties which the au= thor took with time and place. In "The Manxman," for instance, Hall Caine mixes up 18th cen- tury costumes with the parapher- nalia of the modern excursionist from Lancashire in the most hap- py-go-lucky fashion. Hall Caine embodied that rath_ er rare combination--the man of letters and the man of business. He knew well how to drive a bar- gain with a publisher, a film pro- ducer or a theatrical entrepen- eur. He had an excellent idea of arousing controversies likely to bring his works into more promin- ence. His excursions in this di- rection indeed at one time earned him the nickname of "The Boom- ster." He had a lively quarrel with the booksellers at the time of the publication of "The Woman Thou Gavest Me," and the book- sellers for a time refused to stock the work. "Punch" declared the book ought to be renamed 'The Woman Thou Wouldst Not Give Me." In 1895 Caine went to Canada on behaif of the Authors' Society to negotiate terms with the Do- minfon Government regarding copyright. In personal appearance Hall Caine was rather striking--and he made the most of it. . A black and very broad-brimmed slouch hat and a gable cloak with ample cape added to the general effect of his flowing locks, sunken eyes and pointed beard. : Hall Caine did some excellent propaganda writing during the war. For this and for other ger- vices he received his knighthood in 1918 and was later created a Companion of Honor. \ WEATHER Probabilities--Unsettled with thunder showers in many dis. tricts today and early W, . day, then clearing.

Complete figures on the registra- tion of unemployed in Oshawa have been turned over to the provincial government by Mayor Ernie Marks. The registration required two weeks and was only made possible through the generous assistance of the local government employment office which co-operated with the city hall staff to the best of its ability. The final total of unemployed 'Unemployed Figures Are Sent to Toronto men here is placed at 2,580 accord- ing to the city hall figures. Of this number 1,552 are married men with wives and families residing in the city, 235 are married men with wives and families living out of town, and 793 single men.

Distinguished Novelist .. ---- i | months definite and eight months SIR HALL CAINE | Distinguished English Dramatist | who died at his home in The Isle of Man yesterday, ASKS FOR FAIR TREATMENT Minister Defends Pensions Department at Niagara Falls Niagara Falls, Sept. 1.--An- swering charges of departmental inefficiency and unfair treatment of veterans voiced at the Legion convention in Oshawa last week, Hon. Murray McLaren, Minister of Pensions and National Health, appealed to Legion members here last night for a fair trial of the pensions administrations. Speaking at a dinner which ended the first day's session of the convention of the Dominion command, of the Canadian Le- gion, Dr. McLaren pointed out that the task was one which could nct be done in a day and defend- ed officials of the Department, who he declared, were giving the best that was in them. Defends Department In his reply to the toast to Can- ada, Hon. Murray McLaren, Fed- eral Minister of Pensions and a National Health, told briefly or how his department was bending every offort to cope with the dif- ficult pension situation. Every thing possible was being done, he sald, to expedite hearings of pen- sion cases, but it was not pos- sible to carry on without delay. He urged that the ex-service men be as patient as possible for the present, as steps were being tak- cn to reduce the delay to a mini- mum. The work of this particular de- partment dealt with a different phase of. administrative activity than any other government de. partment, he pointed out, dealing purely with the human elements where it was more difficult to be precise. In view of changes in pension legislation last session, its work had increased enormously, he con- tinued and in that connection, he took the opportunity of paying tribute to the effort of his depart mental officials. Dr. McLaren felt that suffici- ent recognition was not being given them, particularly in view of the heavy burden they were carrying. "I'm satisfied that they are industrious and doing the best they can," he declared, 'and I'm sure the best is good. They are trying to base their decisions or justice and fair play."

K. Creighton in police 'ourt this morning to four ndefinite in the Ontario Re- ormatory when he was found guilty of inflicting bodily harm upon Joe Jackson and Leslie Xnight on August 2, The evidence for the Crown having been put in last week the case for the defense was sub- mitted this morning by D. A. J. Swanson, counsel for the ac- cused. Yourkevich in his evidence tated that he came come from loronto 'late in the afternoon and vas told of the visit of the two Jacksons and Knight to the house earlier in the day, He was in the house at the time they called again and was called to the door by his wife, He told the men to go away and when he went out on the verandal Joe Jackson struck him with a piece of hose and when they grappled they fell off the verandah. He denied that he had a knife or any weapon, and could not ac- count for tilde wounds of the men. Peter Yourkevich, son of the accused, told the court that he was at home when the men first came tb the house in the afternoon. He said they walked right in and demanded Leer which he refised to give to them. One of the men then stuck a gun in his face and demanded that he get some for them, This he again refused to do and one of them went to the cellar and brought up three bottles, When this was consumed a neighbour, M. .Kobnicki, had come to the house and tried to stop the men getting any more, but they hit him over the head and he left, after wh\:h they got three more bottles and drink it before they eventually went away. Evidence was also given .or the defense by several persons who were on Front street just before the second visit of the men to the Yourkevich house at which time they said a tall young man whom they did not know dropped a knife out of his sleeve. There was no evidence to show that he was one cf the trio. In sentencing Yourkevich His Worship commented that he did so because he was vitally ijater- ested in the condition of the neighbourhood, which he was determined to clean up, He characterized the Yourkevich home as a 'common resort" and hoped that it would be a warning to others, His Worship said that he was not much impressed with the evidence of tho defense with regard to the knife episode on Front Street and as no evidence had been given by the defense as to how the wounding took place, and as one of Lhe Crown witnesses stated that he saw the wounding, he was forced to con- vict the accused.

Earlier in the year the board had estimated that these grants would total $11,000 and the members were therefore pleased that this amount was exceeded by $1,537. 69. C. H. R. Fuller, business manager, pointed out that for 1930 the board had only received $2,206.27 in grants for public schools. The department has 2'so al- lowed the board a grant of $16,- 506.41 on vocational teachers' salaries. Previously $16,000 had heen budgeted for this grant. The department's grant for the Osh- awa Collegiate and Vocational In- stitute is $1,915.76, To Draw Up Regulations No action was taken by the board last night with regard to a request from Miss Beulah Wal- ker, secretary of the massed choirs of the city, asking for the use of the Collegiate and Voca- tional Institute auditorium dur- ing the latter part of November. The massed choirs purpose stag- ing a concert at that time to raise money. for relief funds. Although sympathetic toward the aim of the massed choirs the puard deemed that before granting the use of the auditorium it would first be advisable to draw up a set of regulations governing its disposal. Legally the board has no pow- er to allow any outside organiza- tion the use of the hall other then for educational purposes or for community service. After the necessary regulations have been prepared then the board will con- sider the request of the massed choirs.
