To Olympics Detroit, Oct, 31.--Harvey Rockburn, fittingly dubbed the "Hard Rock," softened to a de- gree yesterday after holding out against a heavy salary cut for more than a week. He signed a Detroit Hockey Club contract which transfers him from the Falcons to the Olympics. Rockburn took the largest g¢lash of the squad, reported to be 35 per cent. cuf, but will be the highest salaried man on the Olympics' team, with the excep- tion of Manager George Hay. Signing Rockburn was one of two important business transac- tions made today by the Detroit pilots, Hay and Jack Adams, be- fore the pair left for London to witness the exhibition game be- tween the New York Rangers and London of the International League. The other was the sale of Ber- nie Brophy, one of the oldest members of the Olympics, to the Cleveland Indians, Three Teams are Even in Quebec Montreal, Oct. 31. -- Three teams of the Quebec Football Union start from scratch today ae the second half of the league schedule opens.

C.N.R. has beaten Westward and lost to Rangers, while Rangers fell be- fore Westward here. Westwards are slight favorites over C.N.R. as they play on home grounds, and Rangers should eas- ily trim the Colts. But Phil Dionne and Stew Shearer, two Westward linemen, will be out of the game here with "Charley horses," C.N.R., it is believed, will be at full strength, The local victor will probably he even with the Rangers when the dust clears here and then a close battles for honors is expect- ed to decide the Western Section victor, who will meet Quebec Swimmers in the Provincial final. Players May Go from Cubs Chicago, Oct. 31---The Chicago Cubs' rebuilding program for 1932 was discussed in a confer- ence yesterday between President William Veeck and Manager Rog- ers Hornsby, but they refused to comment on the many trade ru- mors involving players the Cubs hope to land. "I have nothing to say now," said Hornsby. "We plan to make several trades, but you never can tell what will happen until you begin talking with other managers." Hack Wilson and Pat Malone are two of the Cubs slated to go. The Cubs are anxious to land a pair of outfielders and two vet- eran pitchers. Ernie Orsatti and Chick Hafey (Cardinals), Babe Herman (Brooklyn), and Paul Waner (Pittsburg have been mentioned as outfielders the Cubs might dicker for. Red Lucas (Cincinnati); E.

PETER CHRISTIE [5 HONORED ON 83TH BIRTHDAY (Continued from page 1) home shortly after seven o'clock, and from then on a continual stream of visitors continued to pour into the house. Shortly after 7.30 o'clock Dr, T. E. Kaiser with a large party from Oshawa arrived, its approach being heralded by the strains of bag-pipes played by Duncan Mec- Lennan who serenaded Mr Chrls- tie from outside, there being nearly 150 guests in the home by that time. A very large proportion of the guests bore gifts as tokens of the high esteem in which Mr. Christie is held, while the hou- quets of beautiful flowers receiv- ed during the evening also bore testimony to the warm acection of his many admirers. Formal Congratulations Formal congratulations of a most sincere and warm nature were tendered to Mr, Christie during the evening at an im- promptu meeting presided over by George Hart, President of the Conservative Association of South Ontario, when the speakers were Dr. T, E. Kaiser of Oshawa, Frank I.. Mason of Oshawa, Rob- ert Miller of the County, Rev. E. E. Annand of Port Perry, and Dr, C. F. McGillivray of Whitby. During these proceedings Mrs. George Graham sang a song, spe- cially composed in Mr, Christie's honour which most ably set forth his sterling . gnalities and was warmly applauded by the enthu- silastic gathering. In opening the proceedings Mr. Hart recalled the splendid ser- vices rendered to the county by Mr. Christie, stressing the [fact that in carrying out his varied duties to the community in whieh he had lived so long the host of the evening had, through his uni- que personality, been able to per- form those duties without making a single enemy, The. speaker stressed the fact that among Mr. Christie's warmest friends are to be found those who differ from him on many subjects, but who honour him for his many Chris- tian qualities, fine judgment, and integrity. Presented With Gift Dr. Kaiser added warm words of congratulations to Mr. Chris- tie, He reviewed the career of this splendid citizen calling attention to the fact that he was honoured among agriculturists all over the proviné® for his judgment and knowledge of practical farming in addition to his other qualities. During his address Dr. Kaiser called attention to the recent elec. tion in Great Britain, pointing out that the results of this elec- tion will be far-reaching and of the utmost importance to the whole Empire and to Canada in particular. "We will now enter upon a period of our history in which avenues of trade will be opened up, with preferential tar- iff, with no less than four hun- dred millions of people within the Empire," said Dr Kaiser who spoke most optimistically as te the future, In congratulating Mr, Christie on the fact that he {is still most active, and wishing him many more years of usefulness Dr. Kai- ser, on behalf of the Conservative Association, presented him with a pipe, the gift of the Conserva- tives of the county and city. Criticized Liberal Leader Frank IL. Mason added warm congratulations to those of the other speakers, Mr. Mason recall- ed his boyhood days, amd the fact that Mr. Christie's service to the county is probably unique in the history of Ontario so far as length of service is taken into consideration, Mr. Mason, during his address, referred to the fact that at the present time "we are supposed to "Rugs re-fluffed for Rugby games" There will be added com- fort in a motor rug washed and re-fluffed. After being given the regular soft-water washing, rugs are put through the ve-fluffing pro. cess that raises the nap and restores the soft cosy surface that they had when first purchased--and over and above all else they are clean, fresh and free from dust. Ordinary blankets are, of course, coming in shoals these days.

"Mr, Hepburn is going round the country attacking the greatest public ownership scheme in the world, He's attacking and at- tempting to besmirch the reputa- tions of those who founded that scheme, while I see by press re- ports that he has said that if things are allowed to go on as they are doing the Hydro-electric system will be under the hammer in a short time, "That is the way Miteh, Hep- burn keeps the truce that is sup- posed to be in force just now be- tween political parties, He is criti- cizing something that has been of untold benefit to the whole prov- ince, His statement that the sys- tem is in a position of danger financially is most ridiculous when we consider that the system has a reserve of a million and a half dollars, "In my opinion the men at the head of the hydro system are all men of the highest business inte- grity and the greatest efficiency. Communists are engaged in the attempt to tear down the struc- tures of civilization, and I class Mr. Hepburn with the communists when he is guilty of such con- duet," said Mr. Mason, Old Friends' Congratulations Robert Miller was another speaker who warmly congratulat- ed the host of the evening. As one of Mr, Christie's eldest friends, one who has been con nected with him for many years, Mr. Miller was in a position to speak most- warmly regarding the services which he has rendered... Dr. C. F. McGillivray, of Whit- by, another old friend of Mr. Christie's, gpoke in warm words of his career, while a "personal note was struck by Rev, A. An- nand, of the Port Perry Presby- terian Church, who spoke of Mr. Christie's regular attendance at that place of worship and added his pastoral blessing to the con- gratulations already voiced. During the proceedings Miss Christie's name was often coupled with that of her brother, this lady prevailed upon to speak. "I expected a gathering, and made some preparations for ft, but this is not a gathering, it is an avalanche," said Miss Christie, who expressed the gratitude of the family for the sentiments which had been expressed regard: ing Mr. Christie, and added, "I am exceedingly thankful for what has been done, I know Peter ap- preciates your friendship and It is because he is pleased that I must thank you all." Mr. Christie's Appreciation Mr. Christie himself attempted to speak in appreciation of the evidence of warm friendship but was, very apparently, suffering from deep emotion, He recalled his earlier days, referring to the fact that he was horn within two miles of his present home, He stated that there were many friends which he would have been glad to welcome, but these had been called to the Great Beyond, there being only one man, L, Bur- nette, still living, who was a mem- ber of the County Council of 1881 when the speaker was Warden, "In my career I think it is true that I have made no enemies," sald Mr. Christie, "I seem to be surrounded by friends on every side. The only reason for this, so far as I can see, is that I have al- ways tried to do my duty as I saw it, honestly and straight-forward- edly, without fear or favour, pol- tics or no polities." Mr. Christie was given three cheers and a tiger by the large gathering, the formal congratula- tions being brought to a conclu- sion with the singing of "Auld Lang Syne" and the National An- them. During the evening the success of the proceedings were greatly contributed to by harmonica solos by Andy. Wood, of Oshawa, and selections on the bag-pipes by Duncan McLennan, Among those present at this unusual gathering, and who sign. ed the nominal roll prepared for the purpose of record, appeared the following names: Dr. James Moore, J.
