MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 14th, 1931 rh --~_ ASL The Late George W. Hezzelwood The sudden death of George W. Hezzel- wood on Saturday evening came as a dis- tinct shock to the citizens of Oshawa who had the privilege of his friendship and ac- quaintanceship. In the forenoon, he ap- peared to be enjoying his usual health, but later inthe day, he was called home to his rest, and the city lost one of its outstanding citizens. It is not alone in business life that he will be missed, although his thirty- three years' association with the concern now known as General Motors of Canada, Limited, made him a valued executive of His interests extended far and wide throughout the community, and he had a hand in many of its philan- thropies, although much of his work was 'of that quiet type which shuns publicity. There were few worthy causes with which "he was not identified, and in the Rotary ~ Club, on the board of the Oshawa General Hospital, and in the Simcoe Street United Church, his place will be hard to fill. It was as a supporter of many branches of amateur sport that Mr. Hezzelwood was, perhaps, best known to hundreds of his friends. Himself a sportsman of the high- _est calibre, no sporting organization which met his standards looked to him in vain for support and assistance. Oshawa owes its splendid new Arena, and its fine curling rink, very largely to his interest in these two projects, and in the days when the Oshawa Amateur Athletic Association was flourishing, he was one of its stalwarts. And these were only a few of his interests. The Y.M.C.A., when it was active, the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce, the Oshawa Golf Club--all of these felt the imprint of his personality. A man of the force of character and wide interests of Mr. Hezzelwood cannot pass from any community without leaving a gap that will be hard to fill. Yet it was more than his work which made him popular. His quiet wit, coupled with a modest manner, his capacity for making friends, gave him innumerable personal contacts with his fel- low-citizens, and as a man and a friend he will be missed by a great circle of those who knew him and loved him for himself. To those of the immediate family circle, the whole community will extend its heart- felt and sincere sympathy, and in that mes- sage of sympathy to the bereaved family The Times joins, tendering its respectful tribute of homage to one who gave of him- self unsparingly in the service of others. Work at the Harbour It was good news to the people of Osh- _ 'awa on Saturday to know that the contract had been let for the work at Oshawa Har- Ever since it became known, in the spring, that an appropriation of $75,000 had "been set aside by the federal government for the extension and improvement of the 'harbour, the gitizens have been waiting for this work té go ahead, not only because it would provide employment, but also be- cause it would place at the disposal of the pity greater harbour facilities, and would bnable the water-borne trade of the city to . grow far beyond its present proportions. Considering that the harbour was opened only a little more than a year ago, it is _. somewhat remarkable that its trade should . 'have outgrown its facilities, Yet that is ~ what has actually happened, and the pro- posed extensions are required to take care ~ of only the normal trade which has already ~~ been developed. It can be assumed that the work of dredging and of building the new wharves at the harbour will go ahead immediately, so that it can be completed before the close of the present navigation season. It is not likely, however, that the new harbour facili- . ties will all be ready for traffic to any large extent this year. There is, however, the 'assurance that when navigation opens next " gpring, Oshawa will have a harbour more in keeping with its needs, 'and' one which 'will permit of an even greater flow of mer- " chandise by water to and from the city. Oshawa is destined, in the not distant fu- ture, to becomé a busy lake port, and it is gratifying to note that the government-is in earnest in its intentions of providing the city with a harbour which will take care of * its requirements in this respect. .my dear? Success in Depression The Canadian National Exhibition is over for the year 1931. On Saturday evening, the big fair closed its doors after two weeks of remarkable success . The first week, un- fortunately, was marred by inclement wea- ther which kept thousands of people away, but some compensation was accorded for this during the second week, when the crowds were all that could be desired. It is a remarkable thing that even in this year of depression the Canadian National Exhibition should attract over a million and a half visitors. It would have been quite logical to expect that this year would see a large decrease in the number of people attending the exhibition, yet the figures of attendance kept well up to the record of the previous year, and showed the hold which this great exhibition has on the people, not only of Toronto, but of the whole province of Ontario. Those in charge of the exhibi- tion and its many features are to be con- gratulated on its success in spite of depres- sion, for .they have shown that the Cana- dian National Exhibition has become one of those institutions which can weather all storms and come out on top. Editorial Notes Trenton is today voting on. a bylaw to grant a gas franchise on Ontario Shore Gas Company, Limited, and by tonight, it is expected, another link will have-been forged in the chain of municipalities being served by the Oshawa company. The resignation of Roy Bennett from the Family Welfare Board of the Associated Welfare Societies was received with regret. Mr. Bennett has given splendid service on this board, and is deserving of the thanks of the community. George Young failed to win in a three- mile race on Saturday, but his marathon victory has brought him enough laurels for one year. This is Oshawa Fair week. All we need is fair weather and big crowds to make the event the success it deserves to be. The heat wave of the last week has not been very welcome,--except to ice-cream vendors and manufacturers who have en- joyed a revival of business on account of the heat. After listening to Gandhi by radio, one wonders what is the secret of his power in India. He may, however, be a great deal more eloquent in his own language. Public opinion is indeed fickle. Labor party cheers for Ramsay MacDonald have very quickly turned to jeers. | Other Editor's Comments LACK OF COURAGE (Border Cities Star) The Kitchener Record complains of asinine regu- lations in connection with immigration. We quite agree, * having encountered plenty of instances in our time, What amazes us is that no public man seems to have enough courage, enough interest or enough something or other to make an issue of this question at Ottawa for the purpose of letting de- partmental officials know that they are the servants rather than the masters of the people. UNEMPLOYMENT RELIEF (Montreal Devoir) The situation, instead of improving, has become much worse and conditions are such that it is im- perative that all political rancour, difference of opin- 10n, etc, should disappear and that all our rulers, whether Conservative, Liberal or Progressive, all our municipal governments, and all our. charitable institutions, should work together to give employ- ment and relief to the unemployed and their famili- The time has come when those who have great possessions or leisure should. contribute as much as they can to the poor and the people who dre suffering from hardship hrough no fault of their own. BITS OF HUMOR Lady (meeting friend in a 'bus): "Isn't it dreadful, I've just heard that the vicar's youngest son has entered a well-known racing stable to be trained as a jockey. He was to have become a min- ister, you know." . "Well, he's made a good choice, no doubt. He'll perhaps bring more people to repentance as a jockey than he ever would as a minister." "A kiss rarely lasts more than 30 seconds," says a novelist. The results, however, may well last a whole lifetime. The housemaid, after a reception, found a solid silver teaspoon, "My goodness!" she exclaimed, "one of the guests must have had a holé in his pocket."

Stevens, is expected home the end of this week after a six weck's va- cation spent in England. Mr. Stev- ens had not been enjoying the best of health previous to his departure, but the change of climate and rest from pastrol duties have proved beneficial and his many friends hope the improvement will continue. On Sunday last the services in the Baptist Church were conducted by two of its members, Mr, Gos- tick in the morning and Mr, Lewis in the evening. Mrs. HG, McIntyre was in Havelock last week attending the funeral of a brother whose sudden and unexpected death on August 31st came as a shock to his family, '| Mrs, McIntyre has the sympathy of a wide circle of friends for only a few months ago she was bereaved of her mother, and it is less than a year ago since her husband met with a very serious accident in his factory when he suffered the loss of his left arm and had his right badly fractured and mangled.

An interesting football game of the Sinclair Cup' series was played in the Community Park on Wed nesday evening 'when Cherrywood won from Claremont by a score of 4--1.

Goodwood won the League this year, Claremont being point behind, The annual School Fair for Clare- mont and other schools in this loc- ality will be held in the Community Park on Monday, September 14th, This fair usually attracts a large crowd and we hope this year will be no exception to the rule, cup once G. W. HEZZELWOOD DIED SATURDAY (Continued from page 1) sook the pedagogical profession to enter business with the McLaughlin Carriage Company. This was thirty- three years ago, at which time he was employed as shipping clerk in the company. Later he became book- keeper, and when the McL aughlin Carriage Company graduated into the automobile 'field, and became part of the General Motors of Canada, Limited, he continued to rise until he became secretary of that company. More recently, he became the personal secretary of R. S. McLaughlin, president of the company, During all these years, he was a valued exccutive of the company, and rose to a place of prominence in its councils by sheer ability and force of character. He was beloved by his business associ- ates, and while he never craved po- pularity, it was his in a large mea- sure, Prominent in C ity Apart from his business interests, however, Mr. Hezzelwood occupied a large place in the community, His chief interest, perhaps, in recent years, has been centred in the Osh- awa Rotary Club, of which he was a charter member and past presi- dent. He had a somewhat remark- able record as a Rotarian, for in over eleven years, since the for- mation of the club, he never once missed the weekly Rotary meeting. In recognition of this, he was a few months ago made the recipient of a presentation from his fellow- Rotarians, who looked upon him as one of the stalwarts of the club. He was also associated with the Masonic Order in Oshawa as a member of Cedar Lodge, A.F, and A. M., and was £ Shriner, being a ber of the R s Temple, of Toronto. Another directidn in which his interest in good works expressed itself was as a.member of the board of trustees of the Osh- awa General Hospital, to which he gave freely of his time and talents, Coming from a family of Metho- dists, he was an active member of the Simcoe Street United Church, and was on 'its board of trus- tees, When the Y.M.C.A. was es- tablished in. Oshawa, he was one of its first directors, and he retained his association with it for many years. His interest in the welfare of Oshawa was shown in his asso- ciation with the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce, of which he was a director. A Keen Sportsman One of the outstanding traits in the character of Mr. Hezzelwood was his love of clean amateur sports of all kinds, and he could always be 1881-1931 All Profits Paid To Policyholders Less than ss. 00 a week at age 30 provides an immediate estate of $10, 000 -- liberal annual dividends--and an income for life at age 65.

A Canadian Company, NORTH AMERICAN LIFE A MUTUAL COMPANY depended upon to give support to anything along this line, He was for many years keenly interested in the Oshawa Amateur Athletic As- sociatjo fn, and that brought him into contact with mq any types of sport- ing activity. He was a director of the Oshawa Arena, Limited, and the Oshawa Curlers, L imited, and through these two companies played a leading part in the erection of the local curling rink and the ice arena, He was a member of the Oshawa Golf Club, and a keen goli- er, and in many other branches of sporting activity he gave strong support. There were few sports or- ganizations in the city of any note which did not have his name on the list of honorary officers, and to all of them he lent sympathetic assist- ance, In addition, he was a mem- ber of the National Club and the Gramte Club of Toronto. Mr. Hezzelwood was twice mar- ried, In 1906, he was married to Annie May Kinver, a sister of Mrs. Margaret Hez zzelwood, of this city. She died in 1916, leaving him two sons, Nei td Rannison Hezzel- wood, who still live in the city. In 1918, he was married to Miss Ruby Lavonea Derry, who survives him. The only son of this marriage, Wil- liam, died in 1928 in his seventh year, In addition to his widow and two sons, four brothers, Loren Hez- zelwood, Minneapolis, Minn.; Elige C. Hezzelwood, Wadena, Minn.; Oliver Hezzelwood, Toronto, and Aylmer C. Hezzelwood, Toronto, and two sisters, Mrs. A. R. Kitts, Fergus Falls, Minn, and Mrs. Frank E. Hallett, of Oshawa, also survive him In spite of his many community activities, Mr. Hezzelwood's home life always came foremost in his in- terest A devoted husband and father, his home and family had the first place in his thoughts and affec- tions, and it is in this intimate home circle that the sense of loss will be most keenly felt, Funeral on Tuesday The funeral is to take place on Tuesday when the ser- vice will be held at the family resi- dence, 400 Simcoe Street North, at 230 p.m, and will be conducted by the Rev.

Doherty has challenged the assertion of a fellow engineer that responsibility for the present unemployment situation rests up- on applied science and has given $500,000 to obtain the facts. Dr. Roy V, Wright, president of the American Society of Mech- anical Engineers issued the charge against engineers and sci- entists in a speech before the Na- tional Association of Power En- gineers here Monday. The head of the Cities Service Company an- swered him yesterday. Dr. Wright had said "distribu- tion and consumption have been thrown out of balance with prod- uction" as a result of their work and "it is their business now to apply their science in correcting the situation of unemployment." Dr. Wright urged that engi- neers attempt to obtain $500,000 to find a remedy, saying the Am- erican Council of Engineers had 'recognized the need, but so far hag been unsuccessful." Wires Protest Doherty announced in & tele- gram to the Kansas City Journal- Post that he had wired Dr. Wright protesting against the phrasing of the speech, denying personal responsibility for the ' industrial tangle and offering the entire re- search fund himself. The utilities magnate said he did not believe that he would hes- itate to promise to raise $6,000- 000 "if you really have any sound ideas for correcting economic problems that face this country." "I have instructed the Chase National Bank," he stated, "to transmit $500,000 to the Com- merce Trust Company of Kansas City for.the needs you represent as necessary, and suggest that you lay your problems before the Chamber of Commerce, Kansas City." Doherty, identifying himself as both an engineer and a scientist, sald if Dr. Wright felt "that it you and, perhaps, other engineers and scientists are to blame for this depression you are free to make such a charge against your- self and others and then make a confession for yourself and others." "But I think you should do it for yourself," h® stated, "and not for other engineers." ARMENIAN LABOR SOUGHT BY SOVIET Offer to Trandier 10,000 to 30,000 Is Made to Greece Geneva, Switcerland, Sept. 14-- Soviet Russia einerged yesterday as the one great nation in the world which iglooking for more laborers. It was learned bere that the Mos- cow Government has made unoffi- cial overtures tu Greece expressing a desire to case the latters econom- ic plight by transferring into the Lower Caucasus 10,000 to 30,000 Armenian refugees who for years have been existing meagerly in the Grecian Peninsula, It is stated reliably that the Sov- iets ask first the transplanting of 5,000 or 10,000 of these refugees to Batoum and vicinity, where they promise to house the Armenians and put them to work--a proposal which arouses comment here as resembl- ing aiding the econpmic crisis of Eurbpe. A program of this sort was carried out by the Russians in 1927, when they beckoned 1,500 stranded Armanians from Greece and promptly absorbed them within the Soviet Union. Coincident with this gesture, which appears to substantiate the claim of Maxim Litvinov, Soviet Foreign. Commissar, at Geneva, that Russia alone has no unemploy- ment problem, an impressive docu- ment was issued here yesterday emphasizing the desperate straits of the rest of the world's workers. This is the elaborate directors' re- port to the international labor con- ference, drawn by Albert Thomas, French president 6f the Interna- tional Labor Bureau. The Thomas report includes im- portant unemployment statistics which tend to show "a considerable increase in unemployment as com- pared with the previous year" It tabulates the steady rise of the job- less legions in the capitalistic na- tions and at the same time records Russia as a striking exception which .actually is seeking more workmen However, it is probably not true that Mayor Walker and Ma- hatma Gandhi have timed their visits so as to meet in London and once and for all decide who is the world's best dressed man.--Buf- falo Courier-Express.
