THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES FRIDAY, OCTOBER, 23, 193! PAGE THREE Bowmanville Daily Times Representative's Phone No. 53 §15,000 T0 BE SPENT ON LOCAL RELIEF PROJECTS Council Has Received Ap thority for Work to Re- lieve Unemployment The Town of Bowmanville will be allowed to proceed with relief. works to the value of $15,000 according to a letter received by Town Clerk J. Lyle and read to the council at ils special session last might, The 1ull amount of relief work asked for totalled $24,593 and this included several works that were considered only if conditions got comsiderabiy worse than they were, Other work now going on in the town, however, gives promise of a much better win- ter than was anticipated Dy council some weeks ago, and many of those who signed the uncmploy- ment roll at the local census expect- ing to be laid off in the near future are still working so that the outlook here is much brighter than was ex- pected. ' a The_ town has started on the lay- ing of several sidewalks as a re- lef measure and the Roads and Streets committee were given pow- er to go ahead with this work with- in reason last night. Several blocks are expected to be relaid and many spots will be repaired. It was pro- posed in connection with the layinx of new sidewalks on King Street jn the business section from Temn- perance to Divisions streets to do away with the present 18 inch bou- levard which runs between the side- walk aad the street and to run the sidewalk out as far as the curb. This will be a big improvement on the present system and will cost very litfle more. y o Sink Water Mains The Cemetery Committee was empowered to start on the work of sinking the watermains at the cem- etery which have always laid above gee ground and this work, costing gheat $350 will be proceeded with at once, This will be practically all day labor and should provide work for a number of men for two weeks. Other business done at the spec- jal meeting included the decision of the council to lay tile in the ditch at the Kingsway Nursery on con- dition that Mr. Jury sign a war- ranty to erect on the property a building. to the value of at least $3,000. Mr. Jury is at present build- ing a $10,000 block on the vacant lots next to the Royal Theatre which is providing work for a good number of men under Contractor T. E. Flaxman whose tender has been accepted. Unless the weather should stay like it has been for a few more Whitby News GALL EXTENDED TONEW MINISTER BY ST. ANDREWS Rev. Harvey Carmichael, M.A., Ph.D., Called at Meeting Last Night The congregation of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Whitby, at a meeting held in the church on Thursday evening unanimously ex- tended a call to the Rev, Harvey Carmichael, M.A, PhD, Presbytery of Montreal. Dr. Car- michael was selected from a Ifst of 10 candidates who have occupied the pulpit since the resignation of Rev. John Lindsay, in July. He is a former pastor of St. Andrew's Church, Scarboro, and recently gook a special course in religious trafhing at Hartrord, Conn, The meeting was presided over by the Moderator, Rev. J. C. McCon- achie, of West Hill. 3 The call to Dr. Carmichael will be presented to the Presbytery of Tor- onto at a meeting to be held on November 3rd. The congregation appointed three members of the session, Dr. R, 'TT. McLaren, Doug- las Thomson and John R. Frost to go to Toronto and support the call. The call to Dr. Carmichael carried a stipend of $1,800 per year, a free manse and a month's holidays. if the call is sustained the new min- ister will probably be settled in Whitby early in December, of the: weeks the other project, will not be started this fall. Claim for Damages A letter was read from Mr. J. Brough, Liberty Street S., claiming damages from the town for injuries sustained when his foot slipped in- to a grating near the Dominion Stores forcing him to lay of work for some time besides injuring his knee and leg, The matter was re- ferred to the Finance Committee with power to act, ° After paign the council adjourned a meeting was held to arrange a cam- paign for the Hydro vote which takes place on Saturday, October 31st. Arrangements were made for authorative speakers to speak in the factories during the noon hour next week and a meeting will also be called for the voters of the South Ward in the South Ward school carly next week at which it is hoped to bring men from Port Hope: to explain what strides that town has made since it purchased its systeu. In a recent issue of The Times it was stated that after the $5,377 had been paid as debentures each year if the purchase was completed, the sum of $15,000 would still remain as profits. This was incorrect as ihe profits after all debenture charges and operation costs have been pad are in excess of $20,000, BADMINTON CLUB OPENING TONIGHT The Badminton Club will be for- mally opened tonight. The courts will open for play tomorrow. 'The club which was purchased last year, is in the old Salvation Army Cit- adel which has been remodelled and makes a fine club room. Further improvements have been made and the place has been redezwated throughout, the floors sauded and refinished and new lights added, In the near future the club expects to install: shower baths, and a club roo: on the balcony which will be partitioned off for this purpose. It will then be tastefully decorated and furnished. BOWMANVILLE CHURCHES SEND VEGETABLES, FRUIT Through the co-operation of all churches in West Durham, a car- load of vegetables, fruit and canned fruit will be shipped to Marquis, Saskatchewan, (60 miles north of Moose Jaw) this week to aid the stricken farmers of the drought areas, Church workers of all denomina- tions are: now busy collecting the produce and many arc taking the opportunity of contributing canned goods for the shipment, The refrigerator car will be load- ed at the C.N.R., Sheds, Bowman- ville this afternoon, and large sup- plies of apples of the winter var- iety, vegetables, carrots, cabbagcs, turnips, beets, onions, beans and canned fruit, are being received, Mr. W. J. Bragg, M.P.P. chair- man and Alderman T. H, Lockhart Secretary, of the committee in charge of this very creditable work are desirdus. that the car be filled before it leaves Bowmanville, So many. have promised to co-operalc or have offered produce that thei desires are fully expected to be real- ized, The various church and indi- viduals in the district have respond- ed nobly to the appeal made through the churches on Sunday last. The people of Marquis through these efforts will be supplied with at least a few of the necessities of life during these trying times. COMING EVENTS 3 Centy per word each in- sertion.

Low Administration Cost One of the features of welfare organizations which always comes in for close scrutiny is the cost of administration, In the affairs of the Associated Welfare Societies, this has been kept down to an absolute minimum, with only one paid investigator and administrator employed. The entire cost of supervision, investi- gation and all expenses in that connection was $2,025.00, this low cost being made possible on- ly by a tremendous amount of voluntary work by members of tho Women's, Welfare League and of the Family Welfare Board. "The fine spirit shown by these men and women has been an outstanding feature of the year's work. The necessity of careful investigation of every case is now recognized by all welfare organizations, in order to see that funds are not wasted. This entails the keeping of a complete set of records covering every needy family in the city, and in the case of the Associated Welfare Societies iL has been pos- sible to do this work at a total cost for clerical help of-$1,704.- 50. Wisdom of System The wisdom of a central ad- visory organization such as the Oshawa Assoclated Welfare So- cieties could not he better dem- onstrated than by this low figure of costs for supervision, investi- gation, administration and ecleri- cal assistance, for if each of the Associated Societies had to main- tain itseown staff and office, the total cost of administration would undoubtedly be much greater, ' It is of interest to note, also, in connection with this report, that all the members of the execu- tive of the Associated Welfare Societies, as well as all of the campaign committee, including the campaign manager, serve vol- untarily and without recompense, save that which comes from the knowledge of a task well done, thus giving their time and abil- ity freely to the help of the less fortunate in the community.

Goedike, city engineer of Oshawa and former commis- sioner of works for York Town- ship, appeared as a witness In the trial of certain former York township councillors and officials in Toronto yesterday, Mr, Goe- dike, who was completely exon- erated at the judicial investiga- tion into the affairs of the towns, was called upon to testify regard- ing the drawing of plans and the acceptance of tenders for certain works undertaken by the town- ship while he was in office there. MAN HAD LIQUOR WITHOUT PERMIT Bert Wolfraim Fined $100 and Costs in Police Court Today Pleading guilty to a charge of be- ing in possession of quantity of lig- wor, illegally, and of a type for which he had no permit, Bert Wol: fraim, King Street West, was sen- tehced this morning by Magistrate Creighton to pay a fine of $100 and costs with the option of three months in the county jail. It was learned that the premises occupied by Wolfraim were raided by the police on October 18, at which time a bottle of gin was found and as he had no permit for spirituous liquors the charge was laid, DISPUSAL PLANT PLAN APPROVED (Continued from page 1) perfectly clear to the Oshawa de- putation that unless very excellent ground for any request in this di- rection were forthcoming, the De- partment would not be in a position to consider the extension of the five-year period allowed for the completion of the plant, the neces- sity for action being most apparent. Up until noon to-day no written confirmation of the Department's approval of the city's plan had been received, and as a result it was not know whether City Council would be called to meet in committee of the whole this evening or not. . § ® 'Final Closing of the LIQUIDATION SALE McGill's Bankrupt Stock Saturday, October 24th Positively the Last Day TREMENDOUS: Chas.

Convention Fund Deficit In the course of the meeting, a report was presented on the receipts and expenditures of the provincial convention fund. This report showed that there was a deficit of slightly over $100 in the convention fund, and a com- mittee composed of James Aylett, D. M. Douglas and A. Gladman was appointed to take into con- sideration ways and means of raising money to meet this in- debtedness, which was incurred in connection with the obliga- tions of the local branch for the staging of the convention, A number of interesting ques- tions regarding pensions, medi- cal treatment and hospitalization were asked by members, and these were answered by the branch president. FINE ADDRESS ON ST. LAWRENCE WATERWAY PLAN (Continued from page 1) being little but shallow rapids. He dealt in some detail with the development of electric power from the St. Lawrence under pro- posals for work which appeared to be receiving consideration, stating that under existing inter- national treaties horse-power had been limited. Effect on Grain Dealing with the matter of in- creased transportation facilities from Western Canada to the At- lantic Ocean, Dr. Crowe pointed out that 430,000,000 bushels of grain were shipped from Port Arthur to Montreal this grain passing through the Welland Canal and going over land from the end of the lower lakes. The cost of such transportation from Port Arthur to Montreal, under existing conditions, - was nine cents a bushel, but it was com- puted that with the deepening of the St. Lawrence, which means the grain would arrive in Mont- real carried in the same bottoms ag those in which it was origin- ally loaded in Port Arthur, the cost of such transportation would be only four cents per bushel, allowing of a big reduction in the price of Canadian grain in the markets of the world. Other Possibilities He also pointed out the pos- sible developments following materialization of tho deep wat- erway project for the develop- ment of trade in coal between the Maritime Provinces and On- tario and Western Canada, and also the added facilities for the shipping of crude ore from New Ontario. Dr. Crowe, Who brought greet- ings to Oshawa from the Kins- men of Peterborough, was list. ened to with the greatest inter- est the thanks of the Oshawa club being voiced in a vote of thanks sponsored by George Fin- ley, while his introduction to the club was made by the president, Tom Wilson. A guest at the proceedings was Jack Condon, while the weekly prize was awarded at this meet- ing to Thos, Strang. BC TWO OSHAWA MEN INJURED INNORTH Ben Audley and Howard Hall are Taken to Hospi- tal in Kenora On their first day's work in the bush with the construction gang on the Trans-Canada Highway near Kenora, two Oshawa men, Ben, Audley and Howard Hall sustained Hospital. Both were cut with axes while chopping frees in the Josh, 1g toe on one o his feet split, while Han sustaincd an extension. cut on the muscle of his leg. Neither of the two, how- ever, is seriously injured. The rest of the boys in the Oshawa party, ng to the letter in which the above information was given, fed Jar keenly the mishaps which have aside two of their colleagues at this early. stage of their work, BRANTFORD GOES FAR OVER TOP Objective In Welfare Drive Was $75000, But $93,000 Contributed Brantford, Oct. 23.--Brantford, with a spirit of sacrifice such as was exemplified here in war days, went ever the top for $75,000 for direct relief here this winter, and not alone reached the ob- jective set, but carried on mag- nificently, until a total of $93, 223 had been attained and there is more to come. It is probable that the sum will reach the even $100,000 mark. It is felt here that this surprising almost as- tounding, result, cannot but be a challenge and an impetus to other cities in Ontario to mee! the needs of the depression per- fod in a similar manner, thereby taking a great load off the tax- payers, many of whom cannot but feel every added load in these days of short time or complete unemployment, The supper gath- ering last night of the workers, from the chiefs to the canvassers, was a real joyfest. OBITUARY DEATH OF MRS. M. H, CULVER The remains of Mrs. Mortimer H. Culver, former resident Oshawa and member of a well- known old Oshawa family, who died in Ottawa on Tuesday after- noon, were laid to rest in the Union Cemetery here this fore- noon on their arrival fom Ot- tawa. Mrs. Culver was a daugh- ter of the late Mr. and Mrs, Charles Menagh, and spent her early life in the city, where her family is still remembered.

Where this is done the Pro- vince and the Dominion will each pay one-third of the money ex- pended in direct relief, whether the one-third which the munieis pality is to provide is paid for out 4 of taxes or out of the contribu- tions made by public-minded citi- zens and institutions. "In these cases, however, the" Dominfon strongly recommends that a committee be found ecom- posed of some members of the municipal Council and some Of those who have subscribed to or have been instrumental in raising the money above referred t~ Tt is essential in such eases that, while these committces can con- trol the methods of distributing direct relief, the municipalities must make all expenditures, pay all accounts, and render them to the Province in the usual way. The mynicipal accounts rendered in this way must be certified by the Treasurer of the municipality, and its Relief Officer, or other proper official." It's an old story, but it seems worth repeating.
