A Growing Newspaper in a Growing City The Oshawa Daily Times y Succeeding The Oshawa Reformer "All the Neds While It Is News "' VOL. 9--NO. 64 Published at Oshawa, Ont., Canada, Every Day Except Sundays and Public Holidays OSHAWA, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER. 16, 1931 12 Cents a Week; 3 Cents a Copy EIGHT PAGES OSHAWA FAIR HAS SPLENDID START Hundreds Pay Last Tribute to George W. Hezzelwood IMPRESSIVE FUNERAL ~ SERVICE ATTENDED BY ALL RANKS OF CITIZENS Touching Reference to Life and Character of Late Mr. Hezzelwood Made by Rev. John Garbutt in Funeral Oration TORONTO MINISTERS BRING SYMPATHY Great Throng of Citizens Lined Simcoe Street North as Distinguished Citizen Was Carried to His Last Resting Place The city of Oshawa yesterday paid its last tribute of respect and affection to the memory of George W. Hezzelwood, one of its most distinguished and most be- loved citizens, who passed away suddenly on Saturday evening lat, and was yesterday afternoon interred in Mother earth with gclemn and impressive ceremon- ies. Drawn from their places of bisiness and occupation by the common bond of sympathy, hun- dreds of citizens joined in the fu- aieral service at the family resi- dence, 400 Simcoe Street North, and passed along the streets in the funeral cortege which fol. lowed the remains to the Union Cemetary. Death, the great lev- eller, brought together as mourn- ers men and women from all ranks of society and from all walks of life in the community in which Mr. Hezzelwood had, in iife, played so great a part. Fac- tory workers and office clerks rubbed shoulders with the higher executives of the General Motors of Canada, Limited, business and professional men, civic represen- tatives and officers of many of the city's sporting organizations, and, above all, almost the entire membership of the Oshawa Ro- tary Club filed past the bier on which rested all that was mortal of the friend, companion and counsellor of these Hundreds of mourners, It was an impressive sight, too, to see the hundreds of men and women lining the street near the residence as the cortege passed by, and to see the grief, poignant in its intensity, that was written on many coun- tenances, grief inspired by the kncwledge that one who w.ll be . greatly missed was passing by on the way to his last resting place. A Simple Service In the bereaved home, a suuple service was conducted by Rev. E. Harston, minister of Simcoe Street United Church, of which Mr. Hezzelwood, in life, was a faith- fu! member and official. The room in which lay -the casket was a bower of beautiful flowers, sweet but silent tokens of the love and esteem which the deceased had won. in the hearts of his fellow -citizens. In the midst of these flowers, the perfume of which sent a sweet aroma through the zoom, were assembled the mem- bers of the family and immediate relatives, while in adjacent rooms every available corner of space was occupied by mourners. Assis- ting Mr. Harston in the service were the Rev. Dr. Hincke and Rev. Dr. Armstrong, representing Toronto Centre Presbytery of the United Church, Rev, John Gar- butt, of London, formerly mini- ster of Simcoe Street United Church, and Rev. J. 8.

Individual choirs which are co-operating in the movement tor a massed organization have already been at work for some time on the portions of oratories, chorus work, and other numbers selected for the combined pro- gram but the evening of the last Sunday in this month will be the first occasion upon 'which the whole organization has been under the baton of the conductor, Leonard M. Richer. It is expected that the massed choir will at least consist of 125 voices, this figure only represent- mg fifty per cent. of the numeri- cal strength of the choirs which are co-operating while it is very probable that this approximate figure will be surpassed. The date for the first concert has been fixed as November 27, and the massed choir will down to hard work, with regular re- hearsals, during October. SPLENDID HORSES IN STABLES AT FAIR GROUNDS Thirty Trotters And Pacers Are Here for the Trials of Speed About thirty pacers and trot- ters, including some of Canada's best horses, have been gathered at the Oshawa Fair for the horse races which will be one of the main features this after- noon and Thursday afternoon. The half mile race track has been put in gopd shape and some splendid heats should result, Last year there were no races in con- nection with the fair but this fall they are being revived in no un- certain fashion as according to all indications public interest is increasing in this sport, which thrilled kings and emperors even before the days of Ben Hur. There is a real atmosphere about 'the buildings where the track champions are housed as they wait to try their mettle on the big oval.

"Our,idea is not to reduce wages, nor any form of scabbery, but mainly to break that strike," he said. "This is the first official strike of the Red International un- ionists and the Canadian Defenders feel that if they get a hold on other coal fields, similar strikes will be iu- evitable." "We are organizing a group of British subjects. The recruiting of- fice will be the Canadian Defend- ers' headquarters and will open in about two days," Mr. McDonald added. J As a result of this move trouble is expected both in the Estevan mine field and also at Calgary, CONTRACTOR IS- MAKING PLANS TO | START AT HARBOR Experienced Pile Drivers and Lumber Men Will Be First Help Required The T. A. Brown Company Lim- ited, who has the contract for the extension of the sea-wall at the Oshawa Harbour, is already well forward with the task of assembl- ing the neecssary plant which will be used at the local Harbour in carrying out this contract, and ac- cording to information given to this paper this morning when The Times was in touch with the company over the long distance telephone work should be commenced during the next two or three days, It was explained by the contract- ing company that the first work to $c undertaken will be the driving of the necessary piles for the whart, and that so far as labor is conceran- ed the requirements of the contract crs for the first six weeks or two omnths, while this part of the ask is being completed, will consist principally of experienced: pile drivers and lumber men., An executive representative of the T. A. Brown Company was ex- pected in Oshawa this afternoon when doubtless further details as iv the requirements of the contractor will be made available MASSED CHOIR T0 USE AUDITORIUM Permission Is Granted By Committee of Board of Education The Property Committee of the Board of Education has now defi- titely approved of the request tendered to the Board by the Oshawa Massed Choirs for the use of the Collegiate auditorium on the evening of Nomeber 27, when it is planned to put on a concert for the benefit of funds for the unemployed. The committee will formally rresent this recommendation t> the Board of Education "at the next - regular meeting scheduled to be held on September 28, ana there is no evidence of any oppo- sition whatsoever being voiced by any of the trustees so that it is a foregone conclusion that tLe Auditorium will be pla:ed at the disposal of the Massed Choir as originally requested. It will be recalled that the re- quest was before the Board of Lducation at its last regular meeting but no definite action was taken at that tinfie owing to nite regulations being drafted re- the question arising as to defi- garding the use of the Auditor- ium by other bodies than those connected with the Collegiate In- stitute, but even at that time it was quite apparent that the ma- jority of the members of the Beard favored granting the re- quest of the Oshawa Massed Choir. RETURNED MEN ON STAFF OF MIDWAY Inquiring Reporter Finds That Practically All the Employees Are Can- adian In addition to the infinite varl- ety of farm products which are displayed at the Oshawa Fair, there are a number of interest- ing commercial exhibits which it would pay almost everyone to in- spect and examine. The Beatty Washer Co..is show- ing a number of its latest models in washing machines while a dis- play of vacuum 'cleaners by the same company should attract the attention of busy housewives, - The Harry D.

In stating that he saw "many thdications" of the passing of the depression, the Minister of Labor issued the first statement in which the Federal Government has detailed the work being done with its aid in each province un der the legislation passed at the last session of Parliament. While he admitted that the contraction in the transporta- tion industry constituted a "dif- ficult problem," Senator Robert- son expressed the view that the railway situation seemed to have improved in the past week, He noted, however, that the large expenditures of the railways last year when they set out to help matters by maintaining their spending budgets as far as pos- sible, had made it difficult for them to participate to the same degree this year. "There are many indications," Senator Robertson asserted in the concluding paragraphs of his sur- vey, 'that the nation-wide de- pression is passing and that Can- ada may look forward with reas- onable assurance that, as in every similar previous experience, she will emerge earlier than some other countries to a new era of progress. "Being a young country, boun- tifully endowed by nature, having Mr. Olfield, , of Hamilton, people, she will shortly resume her advance toward normal con- ditions and still greater pro- gress." Splendid Displays on Exhibition in Womens' Section at Oshawa Fair The Women's Building at th Fair grounds was barred to the public yesterday afternoon, but a Times reporter gained admittance for a few moments and caught a glimpse of what was going on in- side, It was a very busy place. Everybody who was there, was working to get the entries of beautiful handmade articles ar- ranged in the most attractive or- der. There was a whole table- full of rugs, all hand made, some were woven, others hooked and some braided. There were pieces of exquisite embroidery, some in colors and a great deal of it done in whité or fine white linen. There were dolls of every description. Some gorgeously dressed in silks and sating and others made very attractively out of tissue paper of bright colors. The end of the building given over to the display of handcraft and fine arts would have attracted anyone, yesterday afternon, in spite of the fact that the many pictures were not hung nor the pieces of carved wood ar- ranged in any kind of order. There were all these things, seen in just a very short time, and even during that time the door was opened to admit several large bundles of things that were to be unpacked and placed on display. Entries this year seemed to be very numerous. By this time to-day the com- mittee that was at work in the Women's Building will have com- pleted their difficult task of ar- ranging the exhibits and it will be ong of the outstanding show places of the annual Fair, Women exhibitors, however, did not confine their entries to such articles as were on display in the Women's Building. Several ladies were seen in the other large show room arranging exhibits of flowers, vegetables and fruit. Ladies of the Hospital Auxiliary were back at their old stand at the Fair grounds yesterday, {n the big tent where for the three days of the Fair, they serve meals. The tent is a rendezvous every after- noon. for many who partake of afternoon tea.

Pausing in front of Bucking- ham Palace, which was turned in- to a fairy castle by dozens of bril- liant searchlights, Gandhi, expon- ent of the simple life, said: "What an extravagance for,a Government that is trying to { balance its budget!" In India the Mahatma reads and works by the light of a candle. It wag explained to him that the brilliant lights in London have been provided by the World Illum- ination Congress, now in session here, and that they cost the Gov- ernment nothing. "I don't care," he said. "It's a ruinous extravagance just the same." WEATHER Forecast--Lower Lake Nec. glon--Fresh east and south east iia, wsstileq today and Th y, with occasion- al showers.

Here are found an abundance of late summer aud autumn blooms in most at- tractive display with a profusion of colors which is a delight to tho eye. Side by side wilh the flowers are an array of luscious fruits and a bewildering! number of vegetables. But they are more than ordinary vegetables, for size, perfection of form and evident soundness proclaim them as fit candidates for competition at any show. Pumpkins larger than volley balls, cucumbers which vie in eize with watermelons, long, per- fect cobs of corn, large well- formed onions, giant carrots, bright red tomatoes, fine looking potatoes, beets, cabbage, turnips and other vegetables testify to the iruitfulness of Ontario's banner county. Surely Mother Earth was bountiful this year. Nor is this building confined to displays of flowers and vege- tables alone for here also are found the products of the culi- nary art for which Ontario coun- ty women have attained just fame. Gaze on those luscious ples and feel your mouth water. look at those fine cakes, tempt- ing biscuits and freshly Laked loaves of bread. Only a dyspep- tic could fail to admire the cook- jer, the tarts and other pastries which are shown in such tewmpt- ing array. : Then too one sees a fina dis play of home canning including pickles, jellies, canned vegetables end jams. Who would not feel lappy to have a cellar crowded with such a stock of well filled ars. !
