E. Bathe, who occupied the for every member of the City Council, every one of whom has your interests at heart and has been hard at work for those in- terests" said Mayor Marks. "The Ratepayers Associations in Oshawa have hounded this City Council a little too much, Ratepayers Associations are all right, I am not eriticising such organizations, they are all right it they are properly handled. "They put us in power to run the business of this city for a year, then let us run it. If we are not doing right it is your priv. elege to put the toboggan right chair throughout the pr dings, explained at the commencement of the meeting that its purpose was "to show appreciation of the efforts put forward by the May- or and City Council to obtain ade- quate relief measures," and also to prove "the inadequacy of steps taken by the Provineial and Do- | minion Governments." Mr. Bathe read the resolution, which was ultimately adopted, ani briefly futroduced eacn of the speakers. Dobert Stewart, President of the Cedardale Ratepayers Associ- ation, was the first speaker and expressed it as his opinion that the present depression "is a per- manancy, with a tendency to get worse. To keep on saying that prosperity is just around the cor- ner is an insult to our intelli- gence" said Mr. Stewart, adding "and now we have the head of the Government calling on the Lord. What statesmanship, what a paucity of ideas." This speaker blamed the lead- ing: banks and bankers for the present condition of business and industry, and advocated a system of unemployment insurance for thie Dominion. In conclusion Mr, Stewart urged hie hearers to "use the ballot in a sensible manner" at the next opportunity. Democracy Broken Down F. L. Fowke made a most im- pressive but brief address In which he stated that he was pres- ent on the platform because of the respect He had for the work- ers of Oshawa who are at present without employment, "I am not here to support the resolution which has been read by the chairman" said M. Fowke. "There are many things in it with which I do not agree. There is one thought in that resolution with which I do agree and that is that it is time for the Government to wake up and do something adequate to meet the situation. "I deeply regret the lack of in- terest shown by certain great in- stitutions in this country, I rerer to the Christian Church" said Mr. Fowke. He also referred briefly to the report of Rt. Hon. Mr, Bennett's address at the United Church con~ ferenée in Toronto, adding "we are now asking Mr. Bennett to be the Almoner of the Almighty and rive assistance to those who need the help of the Almighty." Mr. Fowke stated it as his op- inion that "apparently demoec- racy has broken down' and that "the nation today is absolutely without competent leadership." He made it clear that he was not talking party politics, adding "what we want is a strong man who knows the needs of this great Dominion and who will ad- minister its entire affairs fear- lessly." He agreed with the formal re- solution tabled insofar as it ex- pressed the opinion that no ade- quate measure had been adopted for Oshawa, calling upon the au- thorities "In God's Name to get busy and do what ought to be done and bring joy to the hearts of those who geserve it. "This municipality is in debt up to its eyes" continued Mr, Fowke. "Your very school sys- tem is jeopardized by that debt, and the whole country is in the same situation. There are ways of getting money,' ways that are known to the Premier. There are one or two men on this Con- tinent of America who could end this depression to-morrow' sald the speaker in closing as he refer- rod to the existing banking meth- ods and distribution of gold and silver. Mayor Ernie Marks The Mayor of Oshawa, who up until this time had been an inter- ested member of the audience, stated that when he was first told of this meeting he "did not know the reason for it being called, nor why it was being held." He ex- pressed pleasure at seeing such a large audience present. "I myself and every member of the City Council have been doing our level best to assist the unem- ployed and the ratepayers or this city" said the Mayor, "and I can assure you we have left no stone unturned.that was likely to bring results. I never in all my life saw a City Council work so hard on public business. "For the last week T seem to have done nothing else but run backwards and forwards to To- 10nto where I have waited on the Cabinet, seen the Premier and other Ministers, and worked hard for more consideration for Osh- awa. "I now have the Premier's as- surance that $300,000 is not go- ing to be the allotment of mouvy for relief work here in Oshawa. What the amount will be I am not prepared to say" sald the Mayor, this statement being re- ceived with applause. "When you are negotiating with a government you cannot force its hand" said the Mayor. "They have the whip-hand, but I | can assure you that the Govern- meut has the interests of Oshawa at heart, but on the other hand ig it is generally known how much Oshawa is to receive then the re- presentatives of every municipa- province would besiege er's office. \ "I 'have the Premier's assur- ance that Oshawa, and the other "cities that have been particularly hard hit, will be looked after, ad 1 firmly believe every word t. "These things are not yet for blication but I want _gvery one you to feel assured that if we get the project through that we to get through, then every one of you will benefit. : Council ** us and run us out, "I have wanted to say that for some time' said the Mayor as he stepped down from the platform leaving his audience rather amaz- ed. W. H. Moore, M.P. The next speaker, W. H. Moore M.F., stated that " it is supposed to be a good thing, when passing through troubled waters, to rely uron the captain. We are pass- ing through troubled waters and have two Prime Ministers, My position is a rather difficult one. You have fighting here (referring to a strenuous dog fight proceed- ing on the outskirts of the crowd) and we have fighting in politics where I am on the other side, "I do not blame the Conserva- tives for this depression and I do not blame the Liberals. No man does if he is honest. When we have a fire our first duty is to rut the fire out. It is no use talking about the water works ana if we have no water works then we must form a bucket brig- nde. That is what we want at present, a bucket brigade to sup- ply immediate work. "The unemployed do not want charity, what they want {s work znd they want that immediately" said Mr. Moore, adding "any man who plays politics at this hour is a fcol. Any man who lets his po- iitical opinions delay action 1s a traitor to his country and to his pecple. "I am not going to criticise or delay the Government, although there are some things in their policy that I do not agree with. Fer instance personally I do not agree with all this highway con- struction work, I think that work should be done in the older and more settled parts of the province first. "There are lots of things that could be done in Oshawa, We could bury the wires .that are now a positive menace, and re- move grade crossings, but I am not going to voice this criticism or my opinions in order to delay action by the Government. "My advice is have just a lit- tle more patience" said Mr, Moore whose statement was responded to by jeers and boos from several members of his audience. "That is probably not what you expected me to say, or would have liked me to say. "Keep organized as you al- ready are. Keep in touch with the situation. Careful thought and cool heads can work this problem out. It is useless to give up hope. I know what it is to be hungry. You say it is all right for me to preach patience, 1 say what can we accomplish' with impatience?" sald Mr, Moore who expressed himself as willing and ready to co-operate with the local committee handling the pro- blems of the unemployed in any capacity whatsoever, W. E. N. Sinclair, K.C., M.L.A* Mr. Sinclair, at the outset of his address, stated 'I am not here as a Liberal member of the Legi- slative Assembly to criticise the Conservatives, who are in office, but I am here as the representa- tive of all the people in this con- siituency. "In approaching this big ques- tion the very last angle from which it should be approached is a political one." Mr. Sinclair also expressed as "prepared to sit in with any group or body of men in working cat this problem if those men think I can be of service to them." Referring to the brief address previously made by Mayor Marks Mr Sinclair said "the Mayor has indicated to us that larger mea- sures of assistance can be confid- ently expected. I believe that myself, and the reason given by the Mayor for no public announce- 'ment to this effect is a perfectly good one. "Let us all co-operate as citi- zens in asking the Government in a respectful way, for a larger mea- sure of relief. If we do this I have complete faith that we will got what we are looking for." Mr. Sinclair paid a warm trib- ute to the work of Mayor Marks, and referred to the "heavy bur- den' which the Mayor has carriea this year. "It is a time-honoured custom to criticise the City Coun- cil, but I always believe it is done in all good nature' sald the spea- ker. Dealing particularly with the resolution placed before the meet- ing Mr. Sinclair stated, that un- employment {insurance was al- ready a plank of the political par- ty to which he belongs, "so I can support that" sald he, As regards 'the request for a moratorium on real estate he pointed out that such authority could not be given by order-in- conncil but must be first passed at a session of the Legislature. "My own notion is that there should not be a foreclosure until the consent of a judge is given. There should be a safety valve somewhere to protect the ple who are liable to loss" said Mr. Sinclair. F. W. Watkinson The final speaker at this meet- ing was F. W. Watkinson, Secre- tary of the Central Council of Ratepayers and also of the North Bast Ward Ratepayers' Associa- tions, who add the audience dt some length. "What we want is somethi now, We have heard several rominent citizens but I don't ow that we got what we want- ed from them' said Mr, Watkin outset of his address. He asked, in dealing with the matter of the proposed morator- ium, "what is the matter with an emergency session of the Legisla- ture right now?," stating that in Oshawa eighteen or twenty per- sons had lost thelr pro Phe po $200 to $2,000, and adding "who gets this? The parasites of human society." Mr. Watkinson classed Mr. Bennett "as full up to the ears with bluff. He changes his opin- fon every twelve hours." He advocated the "conscription "of wealth" stating "those who have monopolized the wealth of this country must be compelled to give it up," and placed the cause of the present depression as "man has been creating too much and receiving too little." Referring to conditions in So- viet 'Russia Mr. Watkinson's wcrds were 'there they have in- troduced a system of production and the world has got to come to the adoption of that system." In connection with unemploy- ment insurance he advocated still more dractic action. "The whole of our insurance systems should be nationally controlled and own- ed" was Mr. Watkinson's expres- sed 'opinion. "We have no statesman in Canada. A National Government is. needed right fiow. There sl:ould be no party lines, gnd after that a dictator put into office. The machinery existing at pres- ent is too unwieldy to accomplish anything. "You have been put off with promises all the summer" sald Mr. Watkinson speaking more particularly to the unemployed, "and up to the present you have got to thank Mayor Marks tor anything you have got. Mayor Marks has been an indefatigable wcrker for the workers of Osh- awa. "We have been hounding him and his council, he says. Yes, that is the only way to get the best out of them. Like applying a touch of the whip to a tired borse. The horse jumps, and the Mayor has certainly been on the jump. "With the conditions which th-y have met, however, I do not think that you and I, or any of us, could have accomplished more than Mayor Marks and the City Counreil have accomplished' said Mr. Watkinson whose opinions regarding government systems and the distribution of wealth are well known {a2 Oshawa. GiAS SYSTEM NOW SET IN OPERATION AT BOWNANVILLE (Continued from page 1) this time, is an indication of the faith it has in our future," said the mayor. Mayor Elliott also referred to the large amount of employment which had been pro- vided in the laying of the gas mains, and expressed apprecia- tion of the splendid co-operation of. the gas company and its offi- cials in making this possible. F. W. Bowen, M.P. J T. Milner, in a very .brlef address, thanked the Mayor and council for their hearty co-opera- tion during the construction peri- od, and hoped this would con- tinue. F. W. Bowen, M.P., sald he saw in the coming of gas to Bow- manville something of great bene- fit to the town, and this some- thing which would benefit the surrounding community as well. It meant quite an industry to Bowmanville, he sald, and it had cost the town nothing. It had meant much to Bowmanville dur- ing a time of unemployment, and mentioning the troubled times through which Canada was pass- ing, he urged his hearers to put their shoulders to the wheel and work together to bring back pros- perity. Congratulates Company T. A. Dustan, president of the Business Men's Association, con- gratulated the company for bring- ing gas to Bowmanville, and for keeping its promise to have gas in the town 'before the snow flies." He congratulated the company, too, on the way it had tived up to its agreement, and said this augered well for its fu- ture relations with the town. Mr. Dustan also referred to the hydro purchase bylaw on which a vote is being taken on October 31, and lioped it would be carried, as the town of Bowmanville would also benefit by owning its own hydro system. Gordon D. Conant, of Oshawa, in his address, gave some 1nwur- esting data regarding the devel- opment of gas in Bowmanville. On March 1 the first approach had been made to the town council, and on April 13 an agreement had been approved by the council and a bylaw passed to put it to a vote of the people. On May 9, the electors had voted in approve al of the franchise, and on Aug- ustl? the first sod for gas mains had been cut in Bowmanville. Now, on October 3, he and others were here, he said, to turn on the gas and give the town a gas ser- vice, To have done all this in little more than seven months, he pointed out, was no little achievement. At thc present time, Mr, Co- nant said, 108 citizens had signed contracts to use gas, and he hop- ed that many more would co-op- erate with the gas company by {ving this new utility a fair trial. fio also hoped that the merchants would co-operate in providing gas appliances, as the company had no intention of going into competition with them, ~ Referring to the hydro law, Mr. Conant said the gas would not in any way compete with hy- dro, but that the two utilities were essential, side by side, for the industrial development of the town. The opening ceremony was held at Rotary Park, where a ge marquee had been erected, in ite a number of the local mer- 1 gas Bhp ay to hundreds of citi- ;who showed u keen interest in them. The Canadian Legion band was also present, providing excellent music, and Mdng a further touch of interest to what big event for the town of | -- the merchandizing business in THANKSGIVING SERVICE 13 HELD AT HOLY TRINITY (Continued from page 1) vine Providence in providing so bountiful a-harvest. The rich- ness of the colorings blended har- monjouely wit; the interior of the church, and made the setting for the service an impressive one. In opening his sermon, Canon Hartly said he wished to congra- tu'ate this new parish on the pro- gress it had made. He had wat- ched its growth with interest, and was sure it was serving a great needa in its particular section of Oshawa. As a member of the diocesan extensiop committee, he had been called upon to deal with matters concerning Holy Trinity Church, and had always done so in a-spirit of helping along fhe epiendid work that was being done, Plea for Uniformity Canon Hartly, taking for his text the words, "For other found- ation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ," de- plored divisions which sometimes crept into the church, and urged his hearers to remember that the foundation of the church was not the men who were in charge of it, but Jesus Christ himself. He mentioned the fact that there were three Anglican churches in Oshawa, all using a different type of service, but following the same master, and made a plea for for- bearance and sympathetic under- standing of those of other congre- gations and other denominations, since all were part of the great Hcly Catholic Church, and were Christian bodies. "Never Lets us Down" Touching on the theme of Thanksgiving, Canon Hartly said that it was significant that in a year of depression there should be a bountiful harvest, showing, he said, "that God never lets us down entirely. There is always an even balance of things, and we can thank God that he has provided an abundance of good things to satisfy our wants. On Church Givings Canon Hartly spoke in no un- certain terms regarding those who used the depression as an excuse fcr abandoning their church giv- ings." Their church collections are all that some people give to God, and they think they can forget all about him for the rest of the week, so long as they put their little in the collection plate on Sunday, and now they are even cutting that off. There are many luxuries which could be given up before you give up your church collections. Men are not plving up their luxuries, their cig- ars and their bowling, and young women and girls are not giving up going to picture ghows. The church givings should be the last thing to be decreased, because in many cases that is all that is giv- en to God. How many people there are who think that when they come to church and put thelr little in the collection plate they have done all they need to do, and who never take part in the church guilds and societies dur- ing the week." Prior to the cluse of the ser- vice the sacrament of Holy Com- munion was given to a large num- ber of the worshippers present.
