PAGE FOUR THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE WEDNESDAY, MAY 12, 1948 LATEST NEWS OF THE COUNTY TOWN OF WHITB Business Office: Miss G. Macpherson. Editor: Robert Corbett, phone 2589 Phone 703, All Departments Utility Commission Puts New Auxiliary Pump Into A new phase in the histo Operation ry of the waterworks pumping station at the lake was officially inaugurated last night as Utility Commission Chairman William Pringle pressed the starter button which put in gasoline-powered auxiliary pump. steam-driven equipment found to beg operation a 185 horsepower This replaces the old obsolete and now dismantled. Purpose of the pump is two-fold. First it is an emergency unit cap- able of pumping 1,200 gallons per minute uptown and driving it to an elevation of 265 feet into the new water tower at the north-west corner of town. A man is constantly on duty at the pump- ing station to put this unit into operation in case of power failure when the two regular electric pumps would be useless. Secondly, it can be used an hour or so each day during the peak electric load to relieve Whitby's sys- tem of a strain which might over- load it. During months of power shortage next fall, this auxiliary pump will be used, thus allowing more power to domestic consumers. Those present at the ceremony last night were the commissioners W. M. Pringle, James Ross and Da- vid Mowat; Manager Herb Pringle; Utility employees Mrs, Arthur Lynde, Art Wigston, James Sleightholm, James Wilde, Mel Perry; M. E. Storey of the Storey Pump and Equipment Co. Toronto (who sold the powerful unit) and members of the press. As Mr, Pringle pressed the start- ing. button and the photographer's bulb popped -- nothing happened. The mighty engine refused to start --emergency or not--but Mr. Sleightholm caressed it, wiggled some valves and the monster sprang to life with a throaty roar as it thrust gallon upon gallon of pure water uptown.

Formed on September 17, 1946, and sponsored by the Kinsmen Club, the band is not only a creditable community asset in itself, but is a training ground for ~ municipal band. The concert Friday night is de- signed to show the in muscial knowledge that the boys give their first public presentation of a more ' complex. work, a symphonic tone poem--""In A Monastery Gear. den." Several special arrangements have been made for the band. One is an arrangement of "The Volga Boatman," by Mr. Marchant. An- other is by Mr. Mantz. A trom- bone quartette will play en har- monic arrnagement of "The Bells of St. Mary's."

Miners Miss Underground Quake Glace Bay, N.S.--(CP)--One of the dangers that beset men who work underground was described by miners from No. 2 colliery here recently, Gordon Wilkinson and Tom Pat. rick ran for their lives when a "severe bumps" occurred on the south side of the colliery. The bump resembled a minor earthquake and was caused by a sudden fracture of the overlying strata. It resulted in a tremendous pressure being exerted on the mine roof and supporting timbers. The men were thrown violently against the mine wall and a rush of air accompanied by billowing clouds of dust filled the subterran- ean passageways. When the two men returned cau- tiously to the place where they had been working, they found that the two-ton mine car they had been loading was derailed and partly covered with tons of stone. "We were lucky. You never know when it's going to happen," said Wilkinson. DOESN'T WANT BOOKS Montreal--(OP) -- Marcel Blan- chard doesn't want to pay for an encyclopedia he ordered through an agent.

Tolerance, Morality Only Alternatives To Final World Conflict - Unless the proponents of varying ideologies can make some 'agreement to differ' and thus avoid the horrible con= sequences of a third world war, civilization is likely to end in self-annihilation, Rev. A. C. Luffman of Greenwood told Whitby Rotary Club yesterday noon. The Greenwood minister deliver. ed one of the most lucid, inspiring and illuminating talks which this club has heard. Introduced by Harry Lade, he based his remarks substantially upon an article in May 1 issue of McLean's magazine, written by historian Arnold Toyn- bee and entitled, "Can We Pre- vent Race Suicide?" "Unless certain trends of today are checked, there is every indica- tion that the human race cause its own extinction," Luffman contended. Taking historical approach, he noted while other civilizations arose and decayed, still they had within them the seeds to create still ancther civilization in some other part of the world. But today, by reason of certain changes in the minds of men and because of the unity in space of the modern world, this will not again be possible. International War While the South: African War was a large conflict, yet it was a localized war--non.combatants were able to stay out of the fight- ing and the physical damage of that war was soon obliterated. However, the First World War pre- sented a different picture. On a much larger scale, the economic life of cities was disrupted and some civilians were involved, still in the years after only a few scars remain in areas where fighting was heaviest. Not so, in the recent war. Civi- lian populations were engulfed and enmeshed in the conflict. There were more civilian casualties than of enlisted mgn. Thousands upon thousands had their lives dislocated forever. Before the end we saw the power of a small atom bomb-- an object lesson in what the next war will entail. Possible Solution Still, it is the hope of leaders of thought thet the final disaster may yet be avoided. Indications are that the United Nations organiza. tion will not succeed in a political sense. Nevertheless, Mr. Luffman Life Member DR. G. L, MACDOUGALL Well-known Whitby physician, whe was elected in life member of the Ontario Medical Association at jis annual meeting in Toronte yester- day. believes, it will be necessary for civilized countries with conflicting ideologies to evolve some means of non-violent co-operation. Possi- bility of this must be faced and tackled fearlessly. Left end right, capital and labor, communist and democrat will have to "agree té differ." This is the only. soluiion to mutual annihiletion "Olvilization must also undergird its superstructure with strong moral principles and a spirituality," said the speaker." "Only if these things are honestly thought out, can the next fatal world war be averted." President.elect Peter Draiman expressed the thanks of the club to Mr. Luffman who had given a most stirring and thought-proveék- ing address. Motion For School Cadets Beaten By Vote Of 32-25 Ottawa, May 12--(CP)--A mo- tion to make cadet corps training compulsory in Ontario schools was defeated by a vote of 32 to 25 Tues- day by delegates to the Urban School Trustees Association of On- tario. 'The vote followed a discussion on the resolution, presented by the Chatham board, which urged that the Ontario government be peti- tioned "to make cadet training possible and compulsory during school hours and replace it on its former basis." T. H. Kay of the Kitchener- Waterloo Collegiate Board opposed compulsory military training in the schools on the ground that such training in the schools would weak- en the existing cadet corps in his community. : W. H. Armitage, chairman of the Kirkland Lake Collegiate, and Va- cational Board, said cadet training was a matter for the National De- fence Department. "For the time being, it is better that students are not forced to de- vote part of their school hours te defence training," he said. In spite of the fact thai school grants have been frozen until pre- sentation of the report of the Roy- al Commission on Education, the Chatham Board of Education will request the provincial government for a substantial increase in publie and secondary education grants. The new executive will be asked to consider a St. Thomas resolu- tion that secondary school 8 te be given instruction and practice in the operation of motor vehicles, BREAKS LONG QUIET Auckland, N.
