. * On Friday, Rosh Hashannah "PAGE EIGHT THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 193( Jewish New Year Will be Celebrated September 11 September 11, at sunset, the Jewish New Year, or which » contin- wes to sundown on Saturday, . will be observed throughout the world by the Jews. Orthodox . Jews observe the second day as "avell. The day is one of devotion hich ushers in a period of re- ' pentance lasting 10 days. In this period, which includes the Sab- "bath of Repentance, the holiday reaches its climax on the Day of Atonement or Yom Kippur, ., which starts on Sunday evening, September 20. The foundation for the observ- ~ "ance of Rosh Hashannah reaches . 'back to Biblical days. Through the ages the festival has gained in import. and has. gathered about itself one of the loftiest moral and religious concepts Of the Jewish race. On Rosh Has- hannah the Jew attempts to gain a true knowledge of his place in the order of things. He acknowledges the great- ness of God and looks upon Him as the source of his being. While confessing to himself his own weaknesses and sins, the Jews at- tempts on this day to purge him- self and begin anew with firm resolve to follow Ris noblest im- pulses. Rosh Hashannah is a traditional day for the exchange of greetings and good wishes, CONDITIONS FOR i : [ i ' 1 4 i i RELIEF GRANTS Meshorandam Issued By Minister of Public Works Toronto, Sept. 4.--In order to obtain Government grants for re- lief of unemployment, munici- palities must draw up new pro- grams of relief works, as grants will not be made for works which have already been under- taken by any municipality, whether such works have been commenced or not. This is one of the regulations contained in a memorandum is- sued yesterday by. Hon. Dr. J. D. Montieth, Minister of Public Works and Labor, Where pro- posed grade separations are con- cerned, application must be made to the Dominion Railway Board. It must be shown that the un- employment conditions existing in the municipality at the time of the application are acute and serious and worse than usual, and that the funds asked for are for emergency work to relieve the situation. Figures should be given, if possible, to show the number of persons in the munici- pality out of employment, and whether or not they are likely to remain unemployed and, if so, for how long. Labor to be employed in the construction of works in respect of which aid is granted must be distributed as widely as possible amongst the unemployed. Where there is not sufficient work for al} the unemployed on full time, it should be endeavored to give them all work for some time. It is very desirable that work should be provided if possible before direct relief. Grants will not be made for works which have already been undertaken by the municipality whether such works have been commenced or not, but grants will be made where new works are undertaken primarily to re- lieve unemployment, In making grants, preference will be given to those works for which the largest possible amount of Labor will be necessary. It possible works = should be undertaken for which the muni- cipality already has legislative authority, Applications for grants in aid of grade separation must be made to the Dominion Railway Board. In making Application for grants for the construction of works, an estimate of the cost of the works and of the amounts to be expended for labor must be furnished. Also when it is pro- posed to commence and complete construction. No payment will be made by the province in respect of any excess cost (f such esti- mate.

Not knowing the membership of the organization and. unaware that its meetings are held in the banquet hall of the biggest hotel in the British Empire, the Earl of Scapa was momentarily discomfited yester- day when he arrived at the lun- cheon to find 500 members ready. to welcome him. He made this confession at the outset of a brief address, Strik- ing a serious mote, Lord Jellicoe declared that the children of the British Empire should be con- tinually impressed with the glor- ious history of the Empire and should be made to realize the great ties that bind the Domin- ions to the Motherland. They possessed common ideals and common interests and because unity was strength, the Empire could face the wbrid without fear, Asks for Pride in Empire "If we are going to belong to | the Empire we must be proud of | it; make ourselves worthy of it. | Sor far as Canada is concerned, htis country has played an im- mense part and I feel quite cer- tain Canada's people are prepared to do it again (applause), Hav- ing such immense resources north, east and west--not south --one cannot but look upon Can- ada as moving along the path of becoming the greatest part of the Empire. (Applause). "We must look to Canada to give us the lead. We remember | the part played by Mr. Bennett, '| your prime minister, at the last { Imperia) Conference and his pro- posal to promote mutual under- and progress and I still hope the lead given by him will bear fruit. "I am getting near politics so . I had better switch off,' remark- | ed Earl Jellicoe at this stage. | "Erglaind is going through a | period of trouble and I can un- tanding BENZOL ONLY PART OUTLAWED Cannot Be Used When Dangerous To Health Toronto, Sept, 3.--Use of ben- zol is prohibited only when con- ditione are such as to impair the health or endanger the lives of employes, Hon. Dr. J. D, Mon- teith, Minister of Labor, said yes- terday in correcting a report that the use of benzol in factories had been entirely prohibited by the department 3s a result of several deaths. ""Benzol is used principally as a solvent in 45 or 50 miscellan- eous fndustrial occupations," sala Dr. Monteith, "and its unrestrict- ed use creates a hazard which is detrimental to the health of in- dustrial workers, "The factory in- spection branch of the depart- ment is required by law to con- trol and regulate its use so as to prevent exposure to the poison- ous vapour from this highly vola- tile liquid." CONVERSION TO BE VOLUNTARY British Government's Brok- er Made Important Announcement London, Sept, 4--The hint re- leased by the firm which acts as broker for the Government in the city had a quick repercussion on the stock exchange the other day, It wag that the forthcoming war loan conversion scheme will be entirely voluntary, and that the Government does not propose fur- ther taxes on ftxed interest-bear- ing securities.

The suggested taxation on stocks had never been regarded seriously among the more experienced element of the city, but to-day's announcement-- acknowledged to be more than a well-founded opinion of the firm from which it came--had a most reassuring effect among invest- ors whose fears had led to con- siderable selling of small parcels of Government stocks. MEMORY OF FLIER WILL BE HONORED Canadian Airmen To Com- pete For John C. Webster Trophy Montreal.--The name of John C. Webster, Montreal airman who gave his life on August 10 in the cause of aviation, will be forever perpetuated in Canada through a trophy for which Cana- dian fliers will compete from year to year. Dr. J. Clarence Webster, the father, announced today that ily and he had decided to estab- lish the "John C. Webster Mem- oria] Trophy," which, each year, will be held by the amateur pilot proving greatest skill in "air- manship." An endowment fund will be provided in order to pay the expenses of final competitors to Montreal where the last tests of flying skill wil] be made. Plaque as Trophy The trophy will take the shape of a bronze or silver plaque, de- pending upon the choice of 'an artist who will be commissioned to make an original design. It is probable that one of Canada's foremost sculptors will be asked to undertake the work, This plague will be in the charge of the Department of Na- tional Defence which organized and aided the flying clubs throughout the Dominion. Rules and regulations regarding the competition which is to take place annually will be drawn up members of the immediate fam- | by the following: J. A. Wilson, controller of civil aviation: J, A. D. McCurdy, first Canadian to fly a heavier than air machine in the Dominion; Roy 'H. Foss, president of the Montreal Light Aeroplane Club, and 'Capt. H. Spooner, chief instructcr of the club, It is proposed that Canada should be divided into three parts for the purposes of the competi- tion and that fliers shall meet each other in contest within the limits of their areas, the final three coming to Montreal for a competitive flight at st. Hubert. It is far from the intention of Dr. Webster to make the contest involve reckless flying. The in- tention is to promote safe avia- tion in continuance of the am- bition of John (. Webster, who, as one of the directors of the Montreal Light Aeroplane Club, worked hard to make flying & safe sport, John Webster had himself taken a step towards, the end that his memorial now brings about, in that he had himself given a cup for monthly com- petition among members of the Montreal Light Aeroplane Club in making safe landings. 4 Besides being noted as one of Montreal's foremost sportsmen fliers, he was the sole entry from the British Dominions at the re- cent King's Cup air race around England, in which he finished thirteenth. It was his hope that other Canadian airmen would enter the future King's Cup races.
