PAGE EIGHT -------- . Be THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, JULY 26, 1940 ONTARIO REGIMENT PASSES MILEPOST ON FIRST PARADE (Continued from Page 1) dence that the recruits as a whole and individually would give an ex- cellent account of themselves. In closing, he appealed for fai hful service and loyalty to the Regiment and all its noble traditions. Col. R. S. McLaughlin, honorary colonel of the Regiment, declared that he was prouder than ever to be | the honorary colonel of the Ontar- fo Regimen , in view of the unit's remarkable recruiting achievement. "I cannot adequately tell you how proud I am of the Ontario Regi- ment and the citizens of Oshawa for their response to this call for recruits," he declared. "I want to assure you hat I shall always be 100 per cent behind the Regiment and anything that I can do in my small way to further its interests | will be done gladly." Col. Frank Chappell, commander of the Regiment, and also a former brigade commander, briefly sketched the distinguished hisory of the Ontario Regiment from the time that the unit was formed in 1866 up to the pr-sent day. "Noble traditions have been built up through the vear by present and former members of the Regimen but I am sure that you, new mem- bers of the organization, will not only live up to those past achieve- ments but will go to aid new glory and new traditions to he record of a glorious Regiment," he declar- ed Col. H. R. Alley, who is attached to district headquarters to ordinate the organization of non- permanent active mill ia battalions | throughout Military District No. 2, appealed for tolerance and operation in carrying on opera- tions under difficulties. He warned that the unit would have to carry on under difficul ies arising from lack of proper equipment and facil. ities. He emphasized that the na- tion's industrial forces are operat- | ing under the same sort of diffi- | culties and that they are doing the best possible to meet the call which has come to advanced Canada's war | eéffons as speedily and efficiently | as possible. "There is a great deal to be done fn making yourselves efficient sol- | diers, and I know we can expect | the fullest co-operation from all of | you," he said, as he asked the men ing toward which will supply equipment as they will expen' the general public to feel toward them, On the return of the Battalion | Alley | from the route march, Col. warmly commended the men on thelr showing during the march and the evident improvemen' in their marching.

Aside from the agreement re- specting the Volunteer Civil Guards, the conference brought from the Defence triumvirate the assurance that they would consider favorahly Militia Act amendments proposed by the Ontario Ministers which would facilitate the proce- dure for calling out the militia in aid of civil power. While neither party would elabo- rate on this phase of the discus- sions, it is understood that Attorney- General Conant claimed insistent- ly. thet the present powers under the act, while capable of meeting peage-time emergencies, were too cumbersome, involved and slow to strike at a fifth column or organ- ized threat uncer war conditions. In this connection it was pointed out that Great Britains home de- fence forces, both military cad civil, were under a unified command and lightning action. Under the present setup in Canada, | in which defence rests with Ottawa and policing with the Province unified action can be atained only through more or less time-consum- ing references between the two authorities. Under the premise that civil guards must remain under Provincial jurisdiction, it was held and agreed to in part at least, that | emergency ection must be speeded It was also understood that the authorities gave to the Provincial Ministers assurance that they would facilitate the importa- tion of arms for the civil guards if ead when Ontario decided to place units under what would .vir- "war footing". Both the Premier and Mr. Conant, it is advised the Federal officials that they believed a num- ber of units, situated in areas either vitzl to war or industrial pro- duction or populated by an alien | population whose sympathies en- dangered the State, should be arm- ed. The meeting, historic in the eyes | of Ottawa in that it brought Pre- mier Hepburn within the walls of | Parliament Hill for the first time since the abortive conference of the Provincial Organizi.ion of Re- fo maintain the same kindly feel- | sources Committee with the Eedera!l those organizations | Cabinet late last autumn, was watched with keen interest by Fed- eral members. To all dppearances it was & har- monious conference, in line with the earlier statement of the Pre- mier that he and his colleagues proposed to enter the discussions in a spirit of peace and good-will. Observers, on the other hand, little reason to expect fire- burst in the past from Mr. Hepburn's blunt criticism of the King Administra- tion's war effort. In the first place, they claimed, Mr. Hepburn had no quarrel with either Mr. donald, and that, while differences might obtein between the Provin- cial Leader and Mr. Power, there existed between the two a certain affinity formed by each man's ad- mitted desire for and capability of attaining action. Mr. Power, it was reported, en- tered the conference with the de- termination that the civil guards' | function should be restricted to policing duties--wholly the function of the military home defence forces. The Ontario representatives, ticularly until they are &. med were inadequate to provide a prop- er defence or protection of strate- gical places in Ontario against in- | ternal disturbances.

Over 50 per cent. were | rated A while the remainder were distributed between B and C. cate- gories. After examination hese men were attested, taking the oath | of allegiance and they were then given arm bands which will design- ate them as members of the Second Battalion, Ontario Regimen', until such time as uniforms arrive. The arm bands are in yellow with black lettering, "2nd Batt. Ont. Regt." Another group of men were or- dered to report for medical exam- ination this evening while a third group will' be examined Monday when the Battalion holds its second parade. Tuepday night the Whitby com- pany will parade and undergo med- fecal examination and then on Wed- nesday, another group, possibly the final bunch, will be examined med- ically at the Oshawa armouries, / | at least one, if not all, DROWNING MEN CHEER RESCUED AS SHIP SINK (Continved from Page 1) til water swirled them away, but before they died they accounted for the attack- ing ships," he said. Set Fire to Oily Water "The commander, Capt: Arthur Robert Sharp, refused to leave the bridge. But the ship's surgeon named Shaw dived from one of the lifeboats and hauled the cap ain to safety. "Two bombs : ruck the ship, the second catching "er amidships, and oil poured into the water. "The bombers came low and dropped incendiary bombs appar- ently to set fire to the water, and scald 'he men floundering in the water. They also machine-gunned the men, "Boats came out from shore, and I was picked up by one of them after being in the water something like an hour." The steward told of thousands of troops singing "roll out the barrel" as the ship lis ed and began to sink. One officer said: "We were so tightly packed on board that we could not move when ths planes came. over, so the men just peered at the planes. "When the pomb struck us some were killed by the explosion, but there was no panic. When he ship suddenly went down it was a dread- ful sight to see all the heads bob- bing about in the water." Some Horribly Burned Another survivor said: "The men clung to others in the hope of survival, They bobbed about everywhere, some horribly burned by the explosion, Some hung on to debris; o hers were swimming un- til they finally sank.

Destroyer Saved Convoy Another tale of the heroism of Britain's fighting men was told to- day by William Phillips, a stoker on the destroyer Brazen, which the Admiraliv announced Monday was unk without loss of life. The Breen "sacrificed hereelf 6 save a British convey," Phillips said. He to!d of five volunt2ers and the captain, Lieut.-Commander Sir { Michael Culme-Seymour, remain- | ing aboard the destroyer "to very last" in an attempt to save her after she drew 'he Nazi bomb- | ers away from the convoy. The | Brazen's gunners kept | tinuous . fire even as came over the ship.

An eye-witness account of a Daily Mail correspondent called it the "greatest and most desperate on- | slaught seen off our coasts." One' German bomber, hotly pur- | sued by British fighters, jennisoned its English town to-day. The explo- sives caused some casualties and | damaged several houses In south-west England this morn- | | ing a German bomber was shot | down and three of its crew killed captured the pilot. BRITTANY TO BE SEPARATE STATE (Continued from Page 1) determined by mutual treaties." Before the war the Breton auto- nomists formed a small majority, to which little attention was ped. After the war several leaders were imprisoned. The Germans now are encouraging the separationists. Ancient Brittany was invaded by Caesar in 56 B.C. ead became "Ar- morica". In the fifth and sixth centuries it was overrun by Celts | from Britain and Celtic still is spok- en in some regions.

JUNK DEALER TO PAY SMALL FINE Morris Kohen Convicted of ~ Parking = Trailer Too Long on Street Maurice Kohen, Oshawa, paid $2 and costs in police court this morn- ing for parking a trailer too long on the city streets contrary to a by-law of the City of Oshawa. In explaining the matter to His Wor- ship, Chief O. D. Friend told of having considerable trcuble with Kohen's trailers which are thirty feet long and piled high with bales of paper or other waste material, The Chief pointed out that Kohen had property on which he could drive these vehicles without park- ing on city streets. "The citizens of Oshawa regard these trucks as an eyesore," he declared. On the day in question, July 13, Kohen was spoken to several times regarding the trailer, but apparent- ly did not have it moved. 'I guess his foreman is really more to blame than he 43" con:irded Oshawa's chief constable. Maurice Kohen had some explanation to offer for not moving the truck, but pleaded guilty to the charge. Magistrate Longman advised that city by-laws must be obeyed, but as this was the first offense he imposed a small fine. Fines on this charge range from $1 to $50.

"Ia Unique Position" Dr. Bruce declared that Mr. Con- ant deserved high praise for his vigorous admjnistration of the laws He was and declared that as a medical man, | hysteria "does not seem to me to be a very nice term to apply to a o-cupying a position.' The doctor added that Mr. Con- ant was in a unique position to ob- tain important information in re- gard to the activities of these sub- versive elements. "If any one in the country is in a position to act on facts, in a realistic way, it is the Attorney-General of Ontario. "So. on behalf of the Attorney- General of Ontario, whom I know to be a man of integrity," Dr. Bruce | continued, "I say active in calling attention to the dangers from within, I am quite sure he had very good reason for the position he took." Dr. Bruce has taken an active stand since the session opened on the whole question of subversive and deserves much of the credit for the measure which was intro- duced yesterday. On uly 4 he spe- cifically asked the Minister of Jus- tice whether, in view of what had been happening recently in regard to subversive activities, he would | take a realistic view of the situa- tion. The Ilegidation introdug:d was the realistic approach that Dr. Bruce had asked for. In his brief speech he made ref- | erence to his earlier remarks and to the fact that these remarks had met with "an unfriendly reception | on the part of the honorable gentle- men opposite."
