THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1940 PAGE THREE Lay Foundation Stone New Hospital Wing: os -» OSHAWA FLYING TRAINING SCHOOL TO BE DOUBLE UNITS ONE OF IN CANADA School to Be Managed by Civilian Company, Yet to Be Organized; 140 Pupils Coming The Elementary Flying Train- ing School in course of construce tion just north of the city will be one of three double units in Cana- da, which means that instead of having seventy pupils, the number allocated to each of the othe twenty-three schools, the Oshaw Training centre will have one hun- dred and forty. The other two dou- ble units will be located at Boun- dary Bay and at Vernon, according to the Minister of National Defence for Air, Hon. C. G. Power, who, speaking in the House of Commons}'| outlined the course of procedure to be followed by the Government in establishing these schools. The Minister said they were to be operated by civilian companies, sponsored by an incorporated fly- ing club which would be expected to provide capital to the extent of $35,000.00 to $50,000.00. The Gov- ernment would furnish the build- ings and the aircraft on loan, while the companies would provide the management, instruction, the food and the maintenance of the air- craft. The contract, he said, provided for the payment of a management fee of $1,400.00 every four weeks which corresponded with the period the pupils would be stationed at the school. Out of the $1,400.00 the operating company would pay the manager's fee and the salary of the secretary, stenographers, telephone operators and the whole general ofiice staff. Other fees would re paid in accordance with the num- ber of hours flown and there would also be paid the cost of gasoline and oil, along with possibly other incidentals. No company, the Minister said, would be allowed to pay a dividend of more than five per cent. of the subscribed capital of $35,000.00. The books of the company to be set up, supervired and inspected con- tinuously by Government account- ants would provide for a revision of the contract at the end of thirty- six weeks, when the Government would step in and take away sev- enty-five per cent. of any profit which might have been made during that time, and fix a new price on the basis of that profit for the en- suing six months. Continuing, the Minister said that no company would be permitted to distribute more than five per cent.; the remainder, if any, would be left with the Treasurer of the com- pany to be reviewed every six months, the object of the review .to insure that the remuneration should closely approximate the ex- penditure. The Minister went on to say that those most closely in touch with the plan were of the opinion that there would be little, if any, profit made by elementary flying companies, but that the Government would have to see to it that at least enough profit was made to keep them in operation because it was considered extremely important that this work should be done by civilian companies, otherwise the one hundred or more employees On the staff of these stations might have to be enlisted in the air force, thereby becoming a liability to thed Government in the way 'of pensions' keep, pay, etc. THREE ESCAPE AS TRAIN HITS AUTO Stalled on Near Toronto CPR.

McCrohan The lease-on Lakeview Pavilion, held for the past three years at an annual rental of $2,050 by Owen Mc- Crohan, was renewed for one year by the Parks Commission at its final meeting of 1940 on Saturday. The rental was reduced to $1,750. Neither the Parks Commission nor the lessee was desirous of signing a lease for more than one year under present conditions. The only other business at the meeting was approval of current ac- counts. ALD. J. STACEY WANTS LEFT TURN AT FOUR CORNERS Would Relieve Con- gestion at Centre and King, He Maintains "The present inadequate housing problem in Oshawa is causing fam- ilies to double up and is placing an unfair burden on the taxpayer," Declares Sto ne of New Hospital Wing Well and Truly Laid At the laying of the foundation stone for the new wing | of the Oshawa General Hospit al, to be known as the Sykes Memorial Wing, Col.'R. S. McLaughlin handled the trowel and | declared the foundation stone "Well and truly laid." In the claimed Ald. John Stacey before the |above picture are (left to night), His Worship Mayor J. C. An- Oshawa Property Owners' Associa- | tion in the Genosha Hotel Friday night. Mr. Stacey maintained that due to the shortage of houses in the | city in many cases two families are | living in the same house and thus | there are two families to educate and provide with civic services but only one property tax is being paid, | and that by the property owner. The speaker also attacked the govern- ment housing scheme stating thai it had failed to remedy the housing | sitpation and claimed that the city's | scheme of selling city-owned lots for | had | { $50 to prospective builders created an unfair competition for contractors who could not qualify for this special price due to the fact that only one such lot could be sold | to any individual. | Mr. Stacey claimed also that there | were too many exemptions from | civic taxes and mentioned Hydro properties and Federal Government | buildings such as post offices as pro- | perties which should be liable to | municipal taxes. The speaker claim- | ed that while the city had cut its grants to a number of private or- ganizations and had been very care- ful of its spending the money the Council had allotted to the installa- tion of traffic lights at three addi- tional intersections in the city had been spent unwisely. Mr. Stacey also felt that a left turn should be allow- ed at King and Simcoe streets to | lessen traffic at the corner of Centre and King streets. A. S. McLeese complained of being misquoted in newspaper accounts of last week's meeting. He claimed he | had been speaking principally about the new light to be installed at Bond and Simcoe streets, declaring "all | that is necessary to satisfy any sen- sible person that no light is need- ed is to look at the noon or five o'clock traffic at that intersection A policeman could handle the traf- fic much faster and more efficiently than a traffic light and a member of the police force would have to be there at the busy hours anyway." He maintained the light would prove to be only .a bill of expense as if was unnecessary except for about 5 or 10 minutes at the most, twice a day. "The factory men have only an hour for lunch and anything that would cause them to be held up dur- ing that limited time would be an unnecessary nuisance," claimed Mr. McLeese, adding that the light would cause delay in handling heavy traffic. He admitted that The Times had had its representative call on him to get his exact words on the sub- ject following last week's meeting but explained that he was busy and unable to see him at the time and so could not blame The Times for any inaccuracies. In his estimation the matter was only important as indicating a ten- dency on the part of the councillors to begin speading the taxpayers' money without urgent need to do 50, which he claimed was alarming as the taxpayers were still. strug- gling hard to get back onto their feet after the depression years. 8. Carnell entered into the round table discussion by contending that we are over-governed and claimed that there are too many petty offi- clals in county and township admin- istrations.

Burt, of Oshawa, regional director of the United Automobile Workers of America, and forty-five other union workers, of their conviction under | the Defense of Canada Regulations for "loitering" in the vicinity of the Chrysler Corporation plant at | Windsor in November. J. L. Cohen, K.C, counsel for the forty-six unionists during the first | trial in Windsor, at which each of ! : the men was fined $20, appeared again, and W. B. Common, 'K.C, acted for the Crown. The appeal | was considered a test case to de- termine the basic meaning of the word "loitering" as used in Section 6, Subsection 3 of the Defense of | Canada Regulations. | The subsection reads: "No per- in the vicinity of a protected place, of any prémises to | which the regulation primarily ap- | | mailing | possible, derson, K.C.; T. K. Creighton, president of the Board of Trus- | tees; Col. R. S. McLaughlin, honorary president of the Board; Mrs. R. S.

Post Office Offers Some Christmas Suggestions The po:t office asks the public to ncte these suggestions. Pest offi lobby, parcel wicket and general delivery wickets will be zn for business curing the hecurs . 8am. to 6 pm. and from 8 pm to 9 pm, starting Wednesday arough to Saturday (Dec. 18-21). During the coming Christmas g season valuable assistance ld be given the postal staff if mailing eections given as follows tage stamn require- 5 carly as pessible, or well e of the busy season. This e time both of the mailer taff carly in the season as le, preferably during the mor- Mail as early in the searon as possible to. ensure delivery at des- tination before Christmas. Those. mailing a quantity of Ist- ters and cards would do the postal taff a great favour if they would tie in bundlés, addresses facing up with stamns at right, with letters for out of town tied In bundles from mail tcwn delivery. All cards and letters should be kept to as nearly regulation size as as very large letters be- come torn in transit, and very small ones become lost in the mails. For local 'delivery be sure to use plies or of any such vehicle, vessel | 7 or aircraft as aforesaid, shall con- tinue to loiter in that vicinity after | being requested by the appropriate | person to leave it." "These men were walking' up and down in a way which made their reason for being there quite clear,' Mr. Cohen stated. "If thatiis what they (the Canadian Government) intended to deal with, why did they use the word 'loiter'?" he asked. He maintained that it was never contemplated that men in the act | of picketing could be termed loiter- | ing in or near a protected place. "There is nothing to show that sus- picion which makes it probable that they were there to get into the plant to do some mischief." he said. Mr. Cohen submitted tha® it was "by no stretch of the imagination" the intention to "mean something | that would be intended or applied to prohibit peaceful picketing." He claimed that the meaning to be | given to any word in the statute | must be given in accordance with | the object "and no broader than | the statute requires." | Refering to Part 2 of the De- fense of Canada Regulations, head- ed Espionage and Acts Likely to Assist the Enemy, Mr. Cohen de- clared that what was sought to be | protected was that no person should | come into a plant to accomplish something, and that idlers should keep away. "I say that no man who was there with a specific purpose, which purpose can be seen and re- cognized, was an idler. An idler is a man who is not there for any rea- son which can be explained." "These men had no right what- ever to be in the vicinity," Crown Attorney W. B. Common declared in his argument. "Clause 6 aims at preventing persons who have ho business in the plant from-being in | the vicinity. There is no evidence | that these men--any one of them-- were employed by the Chrysler Cor- poration. . There is no evidence that these men ha da right to be.there, but there is evidence that one among them exhorted others (entering the plant to work) to join the strikers," and he quoted from the evidence at DOUBLE PARKING RULES UPHELD Chief Instructed to Enforce Regulation--No Sympathy for Truckers Trucking firms who receive park- ing tickets for violating the double- parking prohibition on Oshawa streets got no sympathy from the Oshawa Police Commission at its meeting Friday. Chief Constable Friend was in- struoted by the commission to con- tinue ridig enforcement of traffic regulations and eliminate double parking in the business section. Case of a truck driver who for a | quarter of an hour sought parking space and then parked double to make a delivery was brought before the commission by Mayor J. C, An. derson. "He double parked for about a minute to make a delivery and when he came out he found a sticker on the truck," the mayor stated. "I think the police should use a little common sense in a case like this." "I feel we should treat everybody alike," Judge D. B. Coleman, chair- man, declared. "I don't think there should be any exceptions whatso- ever." It was pointed out by Chief Friend that there are few business hcuses that are not served by back lanes, but these laneways are not being used for deliveries.

J. Phillips, research expert on industrial applications of | | glass, told the Royal Canadian In- stitute Saturday night in Convoeca- tion Hall. "For years we tried to strengthen | rlazs by juggling the basic constit- sand, lime and soda. Then | | we found that the inner and outer surfaces of molten glass solidify | { first and compress inner tensions created by the more slowly cooling interior. Later, if the surface fractured, the inner tensions are re- leased and shaiter the chject. We n release those tensions safely by | ted hee'ing and cooling, much steel is tempered. Tempered glass { insulators used on 'high mower lines require a test load In excess of twenty tons to pull them apart. "The fabulous infant of the glass industry 'in unquestionably fiber. glass," said Mur. Phillips. "Its uses | multiply overnight.

GARBAGE FEED CONTROL Under the regulations the feeding | of swine upon garbage or swill | meat scraps, offal and vegetable re- fuse, either raw or cooked, obtained | elsewhere than on the premises where fed, is prchibited unless a | license has first been obtained from the Veterinary Director General, an inspection is made of the premises and cooking facilities, the owner signing an agreement to keep his premises in a sanitary condition and thoroughly cook all garbage before the license is issued. The Veterinary Director General in his report for the year ended March 31, 1940, notes an improvement in general sanitary conditions during that time. The enforcement of the regulation is be- lieved to be of considerable value in the control of diseases among swine, more particularly hog cholera. | that Col. R. S. McLaughlin, Honorary President of Board, Declares Stone Well and Truly Laid "I now pronounce this foundation stone well and truly laid." With these words Col. R. S. McLaughlin, honor- ary president of The Board of Trustees of the Oshawa General Hospital officialiy laid the founda=- tion stone of the new Sykes Memo- rial Wing before a gathering of prominent Oshawa citizens Satur- day afternoon. Had Many Friends "In the life of every institution such as the Oshawa General Hospi- : tal there are many milestones hut in the life of our local hospital there can hardly be any which are of greater importance than the one we are about to mark today," said T. K. Creighton, chairman of the Board of Trustees, in addressing the gather- ing. "The real foundation of this Institution was laid over 30 years ago by a group of public- -spirited | citizens ef our community, made up entirely of women," said Mr. Creigh- ton in referring to the early work of the Women's Auxiliary, "During the hospital's existence it has had many friends.who have made its fine pro-: eress possible and none of these friends hee been greater than the one to whom this new wing will provide a fitting tribute," continued ~ Mr. Creighton who pointed out that largely due to the efforts of the Women's Auxiliary and the gener- osity of private individuals the hos pital has never become a public charge. Mr. Creighton pointed out that | the Board had been lsath to under- take the building program at the present time when their efforts would be in competition in the war effort but added that the Board felt their first duty was the care of the sick and afflicted and that the | present over-crowded condition of the hospital made the building of the new wing imperative. Mr. Creighton reminded the gathering that they were not only dedicating a new building to a high purpose but were dedicating theme elves to an even greater effort in the future. Tribute to Founders Mayor J. C. Anderson stated that great satisfaction must come to the group of willing workers who 30" years ago founded the fine institu | tion of which Oshawa is so proud today. He added that the Women's Auxiliary is unique in that it existe ed prior to the erection of the hose pital and were the instigators of | the movement for its erection. He paid tribute to the fine public duty performed by the chairmen of the Board from the late J. D. Storie to the present chairman, T. K. Creighe ton, K.C,, and said that the new building now in the process of con= structida would be a most appropri ate memorial to memory of the late Mrs. Svkes, whose kindness and thoughtfulness had made it possible. In introducing Col. R. 8S. Mece Laughlin who laid the foundation stone Mr. Creighton pointed out McLaughlin and his wife had been true friends of the hospital since its inception. In dedicating the building to the service: of the community Col. Mc= Laughlin recalled that the late Mrs. - Sykes had taught him when he was a scheolboy and he well remembered her kindly but firm disposition. In paying tribute to the late Albert Sykes husband of the donor, Col McLaughlin said "he was one of .. the greatest natural gentlemen I. have ever known, and a true sports- (Continued on Page 9, Col. 5) TUESDAY and WEDNESDAY at CHOICE QUALITY ROUND STEAK wi) BUEHLER Small Link SAUSAGE Fresh Lean HAMBURG LEAN STEW BEEF DUTHIE'S MINCE- RUMP ROAST BEEF v2] 5.25 BACON mJ 7 Sass 9:1 SQUARES SHANKLESS 'When?
