Building (at Right) Subject of Police Court Action # Inspector --Photo by Campbell's Studio REUNION PLANNED FOR MEMBERS OF 2ND BATTALION Many from Oshawa Saw Service in This C.E.F. Unit Of the 5,211 men of all ranks who passed through the ranks of the 2nd Canadian Infantry Battalion CEF. (1914-1919) of whom 1,353 were killed or died of wounds, and 2,618 were wounded, there are still many survivors of that famous unit, known as the "Iron Second". Most of these survivors are living in On- tario and western Quebec, and they, with their sons, who saw service in World War II, are to have a re. union in Ottawa from August 3rd to 5th. Many from Oshawa saw service in the 2nd Battalion, as .a large number of the members of the 116th Battalion which went over seas from here were transferred to that unit as the 116th Battalion was depleted. The last officer commanding the Second Battalion was Col, L. T. Mc- Laughlin, D.8.O, CM.G. of Bow- manville, who is among those plan- ning to attend the reunion from this district. -Day Program Major H. H. Hester, President of the Ottawa Branch of the old bat- talion association, which has more than 300 members, has arranged a three.day program, features of which are a dinner at the Chateau Laurier, a special service on Sune day afternoon, August 4th, around the Battalion Colors in the Military Museum, followed by the placing of a wreath at the National War Me- morial in memory of those of the battalion's dead, and special enter tainment. The, Drill Hall, Cartier Square, is to be the registration and assembly point during the re- uni on. The battalion is perpetuated by affiliation with the Governor Gen- eral's Foot Guards, of Ottawa, and the Prince of Wales Rangers of Peterborough, Ont. The battle honors on the G.G.F.G. and Prince of Wales' Rangers regimental colors | represent 10 of the 21 engagements in which the battalion took part in France and Belgium, A glance over some of the high- lights of the 2nd Battalion's history indicates that the survivors and their sons as well justified in not letting the record pass into the limbo of the forgotten, The batta- lion, a volunteer force, was organe ized at Valcartier, Que., on Septem= ber 26, 1914. It proceeded to Eng- land as a unit of the First Brigade, First Division, sailing from Gaspe Basin, on Oct. 3, and landing at Plymouth on Oct. 14, 1914, The winter of 1914-15 was spent under canvas on Salisbury Plains--and what a wet, cold winter it was. In February, 1915, the unit was sent to France and received its baptism of fire in the Armentieres Sector. It was in the line and held the left flank at the Battle of Neuve Cha- pelle, The Germans used poison gas for the first time in modern warfare at Ypres on April 22, 19185, against troops wholly unprepared for this type of attack. The line was broken and the 2nd Battalion was one of the units rushed into the breach, Greatly outnumbered and with no protection against the chlorine gas except dampened handkerchiefs, the 2nd Battalion not only held the line but also made repeated attacks against the strong enemy positions. The Bat- talion went into this action with four companies of approximately 240 men each. Its total casualties were over seven hundred. No. 1 Company had only 18 survivors. As the Vanguard of the First Canadian Division, the Battalion | | was the first organized unit of the | | German Frontier, This event took | place at Poteau on December 4th, 1018. The Rhine was crossed at | Cologne on December 13th, 1918, and for nearly four weeks the Bat. | talion garrisoned the outpost line at Lohmar and Seelscheid in Ger- many. Two members of the 2nd Battalion, Cpl. Leo Clarke and Ma- | jor Okill Massey Learmonth, won the Victoria Cross. Other awards were: 11 D.S.O.'s, 53 M.C.s, 41 D. C.M.'s., 161 M.M.'s, and many other British and Allied distinctions.

Local Hotelmen Non-Committal On N ew Order After one week of the new Liquor Authority Control Board regulations requiring beverage rooms to remain open for at least one hour on Tues day and Thursday evenings, Osh- awa hotel authorities are rather non-commital about the whole sit- uation. "It redlly makes very little difference at all," one said. Comments indicate that it is the opinion of many that it is an intel- ligent step in the right direction as it tends to insure the more equitable distribution of whatever supplies there are. Some of the beverage rooms had been remaining open in the evenings anyway as the pro- prietors felt themselves that it was the fairer thing to do. No more beer has been put into circulation by this order and bev- erage dispensers here claim that no more is being consumed. The idea behind the regulation was to insure a fair distribution to all as the limited supply was all being cone sumed during the day. 1929 WAS YEAR FIRST "TALKIE" SHOWN INOSHAWA First Sound Movies Result Of Bell Telephone Research Celebration of the 20th annivers- ary of talking pictures in August recalls that the first sound movies were the direct result of research by scientists in Bell Telephone Laboratories. In Oshawa the first theatre equipped with sound was the Re- gent theatre and the first talking picture was seen and heard here on May 27, 1920. Canada's first all-sound program was presented in Montreal on Sep- tember 1, 1928. "Don Juan," with fully synchronized musicial score opened in New York on August 6, 1926, marking 'the first screening of talkies anywhere in the world, To improve telephony the Bell Laboratories developed a means ot making electrical recordings with which to test instruments used in long distance calling. This resulted in- the orthophonic or electrical method of recording. Then came the condenser microphone, vacuum tubes and eventually the public ad- dress system. In the early 1020's all essentials for producing sound motion pictures were available. An exhibition of the first electrically recorded talk- ing machine was made at Yale University on October 27, 1922. A transcribed lecture explained the equipment, The speaker's voice came from the screen with such fidelity and synchronized timing that 'some witnesses suspected a hoax. Less than four years later, talking pictures were introduced by Warner Bros. Submits Draft Meter Contract City Solicitor T K. Creighton, KC, MLA, submitted to the city council on Thursday 'a proposed draft of the contract to be signed between the city and N, H. Rhodes Incorporated of Hartford, Conn, in connection with the installation of parking meters in Oshawa. As proposed, the agreement pro- vides for the installation of 350 meters at a price of $64 each, de- livered and installed. The meters would be installed for a trial period of 12 months and if they * did not prove satisfactory they would be removed at the end of that time without cost to the city. Mean- while 50 per cent of the receipts from the meters would go to the city and the remaining 50 per cent to go toward paying for the meters The matter was left with Mr. | Creighton to proceed with having the contract agreed to by the com- pany. The meters are being pur- Shite through A. L..Miller of To- ronto. FAIR ENOUGH The song "Hi Ho, Come to the Fair", has been made into an anl- | mated sing-song by the animation department of the National Film Board. In color, the film shows vividly-dressed puppets in 16th music. ; TRIBUTE IS PAID 10 H & 5 WORKER Council Expresses Regret On Passing of Vice- President Sincere regret and sympathy has been expressed by the Oshawa Home and School Council on the passing this week of Mrs, Robert J.

THE TIMES-GAZETTE™ Saturday, July 27, 1948 Hotels Full Every Night As Tourists Stop Here KINSMEN CLUB GOES SAILING Enjoy Dinner Meeting Aboard Yacht Club Craft The Oshawa Kinsmen club went sailing Thursday evening. Holding their regular bi-monthly dinner meeting at the Oshawa Yacht Club D, E. (Doug) Chesebrough the club members embarked in the Yacht Club's twin-masted sailing sloops at six p.m. and spent almost two hours out on the lake. A strong off-shore breeze, clear weather and slightly rough water added to the enjoyment of the oc- casion. Promptly at 7.30 p.m., the sailors returned to sit down to a piping hot dinner and an evening of eater- tainment. Highlight of the evening was a diaper changing contest be- tween Lawrence Armstrong and Ron Wilson, the Kinsmen Club lat- =~, fathers,. With F. E. (Pete) Matthews acting as referee the contest was easily won by "Ron", by the way the two young fathers used dolls and not babies as victims for their (amateur?) efforts. Each of the fathers was present. ed with a silver baby cup on behalf of their two infants. Guest speaker for the evening was Kinsmen Harry Ourtis, Whitby, who gave an interesting and infor- mal talk on the development of community spirit. Kinsman Curtis spiced his talk with . several hu- mours and witty anedotes he picked up during his life as a salesman | among the Ojibways of Northern | Alaska. Toast to the Yacht Club was giv- en by Kinsman Rex Cox and re- plied to by Yacht Club Commodore Ralph L. Schofield.

And the hotels are able to take more than i usual because this is the holiday | time for travellers generally, With | them off the roads there are a few more rooms available for the tran- sient guests. Oshawa seems to be a more pop- ular spot in which to spend the night than many of the bigger cit- ies, for many of the guests by-pass Toronto when hunting for accom- modation. Most have just crossed the border and want some place to spend the night before pushing on the next day. The hotelmen don't claim that it is our night life that is the big at | traction but just the fact that it isn't quite ag warm here as in To- ronto and some of the larger cities. Many Americans Last night at one of the local ho- tels about half of the check-outs were those of American tourists, Even people on the streets in half an hour's time have been able to count six or ten different license count six or ten different license plates frém different states. A week ago' Clarence W. Mea- dows, governor of West Virginia, was one of the American guests at the Hotel Genosha., His pastime was typical, for the governor wag going fishing in the famed North ern Ontario lakes. It is these lakes and the fish which seem to be attracting most of the United States guests. From Many States A glance at the hotel registers brings names from practically every state in the United States And there are guests from Canadian cities like Vancouver, B.C., to prove that Ontario is attractive to the other provinces in the Dominion as well as to the States. San Antonio, Texas; South Bend, Indiana; Boston, Mass.; Jersey City; Douville, Virginia; Los An- geles, California; Kalamazoo, Michigan; Greenville, Pa.; New York City, are just a few of the places from which people arrive every day to stay in Oshawa, and we trust, to come back.
