SEPTEMBER 3, 1940 LEADER OF TANK BRIGADE SEEKING TANKS IN STATES (Continued frcm Page 1) sumably is being investigated by Colonel Worthington, with a view to incorporating some of its fea- tures into the Canadian brigade. At present the American Corps is using light tanks of about ten to twelve tons and some combat cars, in addition to a few medium tanks of about twenty-five tons, A large contract has been let for additional medium tanks and a group of Brit- ish tank officials are here negotiat- ing for 4.000 of these 25-ton mach- ines. ~ Well-informed military circles here believe that some of these medium tanks may go to the train- ing centre at Camp Borden to give the four battalions in the armored brigade which includes the Ontario Regiment (Tank) of Oshawa, the latest American equipment to work with along with the tanks being developed in Canadian factories. The British tank mission, includ- ing some officers who were through the Flanders campaign and the Dunkirk retreat, is aiding United States Army officials in working out production plans for the me- dium tanks and providing informa- tion about tank warfare obtained in Flanders. Colonel Worthington conferred with the British officers and received considerable assist- ance and advice. Many of the American tank de- signs have been revised in the light of British experience under war conditions, and changes are being made in armor and armament to cope with German developments. One authority said that British and American specifications for the medium tanks are now practically the same, and this is considered important in aiding production of tanks in the United States for ar- mored units of both nations, OSHAWA PROSPERS ON WAR INDUSTRY (Continued from Page 1) %otal while the balance of the 37 permits issued were for additions end alterations. Customs figures provided an ever more gravhic picture of Oshawa's sccelerated industrial tempo. Col- lections for August amount to $578,- 435.79, more than three times as great as collections in the same month of 1939. This total, the fourth successive month in which collections have exceeded half.a million dollars, includes $248.404.27 gollected in import duty, $319,774.80 in excise tax. The import tax figure is more than twice as great as any previous month, and six greater than August, 1939, indicat- fng the vast quantity of material | which is coming to Oshawa to keep | production flowing from - Oshawa factories. In August. 1939, import duty amounted to only $40,327.04. The total for excise tax reflects the greatly increased output of Oshawa factories, the total being well over three times as great as in August, 1939. The third set of statistical fig- tres which reflect Oshawa's ware fostered prosperity more indirectly are the vital statistic totals. Some one has said that marriages are made in heaven put bulging pay en- wvelopes apparently provide Dan Cupid with highly potent arrows. Proof of this is seen in the fact that 32 marriages occurred in Aug- ust compared to only 15 in the same month of 1939, The August total is the same as June, the first time in history that August has rivalled the month of brides for wedding popularity. all-month record of 34. Even Doc Stork's activities seem $0 have been increased by Oshawa's new prosperity, 50 babies arrived in August compared with only 46 a year ago. Seemingly the increased living pace has had no injurious effect on those whose three score and ten years have been passed for only 11 deaths occurred in July, the lowest number of deathe In any month for two years. Everyone apparently is seeking to share in Canada's war effort as fostered in Oshawa. Births KERR--At the Oshawa General Hospital, on Monday, September 2, 1940, to Mr. and Mrs. J. A.

It certainly didn't look promising for Johnny, But that night Johnny said "How about giving me a contract to keep the family's shoes shined, Dad? I'll shine your shoes three times a week for a quarter. Same for Mom and Sis, too. I'll soon have enough to buy a bicycle--and you'll get better shines, too, because I'll use Nugget Sho: Polish -- the polish that pre- serves as well as shines." OSHAWA AND VICINITY LITTLE BROWN CHURCH There was a good attendance at the Sunday School. At the evening service Mr, Nicholson was in charge. Mr. Drew, who led the song serv- ice, sang a solo, "In the Good Old- Fashioned Way". Marjorie Pollard read the lesson Thess. 5:1-28. The junior choir sang "The Rock That Is Higher Than I". Mr. Nicholson spoke on "Pray Without Ceasing". The senior choir sang "The Shep- herd of Love." LARGEST CROWD SINCE "29 AT EX (Continued from Page 1) of humanity. It was the largest Labor Day crowd since 1929, when the attendance figure was 240,000. Extra police officials were neces- sary to guide the avalanche of motor cars. Men who have had years of experience in handling traffic problems were stunned by the seemingly never-ending tide of cars, converging from all direc tions. There was no way of obtain- ing an accurate estimation, but one car in every four bore license plates of some American State. At 1 o'clock it was found neces- sary to close the Exhibition gates to auto traffic. The gates have been closed to cars in other years, but never at such an early hour. Usual parking lots along Fleet Street lit- erally bulged with autos and would- be visitors were obliged to travel out of sight of the exhibiton build- ings before they could find space for their cars. The traffic difficulties in Sunny- side were at their height about 2 o'clock. Sergeant Harry Battington, of No. 6 Police Division, in charge of traffic in that area, said that in his thirty years of Exhibition ex- perience he hex never seen such a congestion of autos trying to get | inside the grounds. It took one motorist twenty minutes to travel the short distance from the Princes' Gates to the | Sunnyside exit. A tour of districts bounding the C.N.E. showed cars | parked in driveways, backyards and on lawns. The Sunnyside amuse- | ment area was black with autos. [ Inspector Herbert Bolton, who | directs the activities of 131 police | officers detailed to the C.N.E, said that the eastern and western gates were closed to further auto traffic shortly before noon, but were re- opened at intervals later on. Up | until a late hour last night no car | accidents had been reported. Indications that attendance rec- ords would be broken were dimmed | however, just before 6 p.m. when a twelve-minute shower sent people racing for cover under trees and in times | FLYING OFFICER The figure is only two less than July's all-time | buildings. It was estimated the shower and threats of rain later, cut the prob- | ole attendance by 10,000 people. | The Exhibiton's record crowd was 260,000, on Laktor Day, 1927. The best crowd since the depression period was in 1938, when 226,000 attended. Sales of food, beverages and heav- ier goods skyrocketed yesterday to | well over the $250,000 mark, it was estimated. Today will be International saad Service Clubs' Day. The program | is featured by an exhibition of stunt flying, delayed-parachute jumping and aerobatics by a group of Ameri- cen fliers, This will be held over the Exhibition waterfront, starting at 6:30 pm.
