SATURDAY, AUGUST 7, 1948 HE 'DAILY TIMES.-GAZETTE PAGE THREE Old Wesleyan Methodist Cemetery Here S ¢ Party Followers' Ovation For King Lasts 5 Minutes By Douglas How Canadian Press Staff Writer Ottawa, Aug, 7 (CP)--William Lyon Mackenzie King went out swinging Friday and his 29 years of Liberal leader- ship were climaxed and concluded in five mingges of tumul- tuous triumph. Thousands of delegates and spectators at the National Liberal convention stood and cheered him once, twice, three times, bringing a suspicious red to the eyes of the man who handed back the mantle the party gave him in 1919. He partially ended an era of Can- g adian history--he's still Prime Min- ister--in a speech that was altern- ately proud, reminiscent and whim- sical but, above all, fighting for it is his chief desire now to leave his successor a party that is potent and aggressive, And the reaction of the Canadians massed below him left no doubt that he was still the dominant person- ality of the convention that will pick the man. When he told them that at no time had their confidence in him surpassed its strength today, they cheered warmly and then it subsid- ed and then suddenly it welled up again, much stronger than before, until the Coliseum was drunk and long with sound. He boasted of the party's past and they cheered him and he taunted the Tories and they cheered him. Sometimes during this Mr. King stood patiently among the micro- phones, a. light train of hair wispng across a face that bore all the age of his 73 years. At other times he smiled or chuckled and his mouth was boyish and lopsided with a grin. Then at the end there was ova- tion and tumult. It went on for five minutes. It rolled forth three -- in three cheers and in unorganized shouts, It saw the English sing "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow" and the French sang "Il a Gagne Ses Epaulettes." It caught all the years in its passage, and it rewarded them. Tae old man--Mr. King can look relatively young and buoyant one day and on the next and today he was old----stood there on the plat- form amid the rolling, sweeping sound, a block of a man in a gray suit, lost for conduct, sometimes smiling the crooked smile, some- times snuffling about, sometimes waving, until at last he bowed and it was over. Montreal Star 30 Cents Weekly Montreal, Aug. 7 (CP)--Weekly subscription rates for the Montreal Star will jump from 18 cents to 30 cents on Aug. 9, the paper an- nounced Friday. Price per copy will be boosted from three to five cents. The price boost was announced on the front page of the Star. Changes were due to "vastly in- creased costs in all phases of news- paper production during the past 10 years," the announcement said, YACHTSMAN DROWNS Ottawa, Aug. 7--(CP) -- Twenty- one-year-old George Morris, Tor- onto yachtsman, drowned Friday night in the windswept waters of nearby Lake Deschenes while his brother, Hugh, watched helplessly from a drifting sail boat. The tra- gedy clouded the first annual re- gatta of the Canadian Canoe As- sociation opening today -at Britan- nia Bay, just 800 yards from where the drowning took place. > Stalemated For Congress Session Ends By CLYDE BLACKBURN Canadian Press Staff Writer Washington, Aug. 7--(CP)--Presi- dent Truman called it a "turnip- day" session when he called United States Congressmen back from their holidays to enact what he consid- ered essential legislation. But if the result of the special session is any augury of success for the Missouri farmers, they can look for a small turnip crop next fall. Truman ordered the legislators back from their planned six-months holiday, gave them a long list of measures--and told them to make good on their platform promises to enact such legislation. He picked July 26 for the open- ing session and explained that in Missouri where he comes from that is turnip day, the date the farmers plant turnip seed. About the only successful seed he planted in the Congressmen's mind was the administration's promise to lend the United Nations $65,000,000 to build their New York headquar- ters. Congress, trying to lock up and go home tonight, passed the loan bill and was trying to complete a 'wat- ered-down housing measure and some half-hearted anti-inflation regulations. One of Truman's "must" pro- posals had to do with racial segre- gation and fair employment prac- tices ag between whites and ne- groes. . That bounced back at him be- cause the wily Republicans made this the first item of business anjd southern Democrats, who helped elect Truman and the late Presi- dent Roosevelt in 1944, promptly talked it to death. At this moment it would seem that Truman gained little political advantage by recalling Congress, but possibly lost a great political opportunity Thursday when he climbed aboard the wagon carrying those who oppose open hearings of evidence against alleged Communist spies in government service. Truman's hasty and somewhat angry criticism of the open hear- ings on Communistic activities, coupled with his refusal to yield to Congress the confidential files on loyalty probes of those civil serv- ants already named in spy charges, puts him in a bad position. He is not expected to gain Com- munist votes, and he may lose the votes of many who normally vote Democrat, because they fear Com- munist infiltration. in the govern- ¢ Ra Mountjoy Clan Picnic Happy - Hampton Event The 25th annual picnic of the Mountjoy connection was held at Hampton Park on Wednesday, July 28. All during the afternoon cars ar- rived, bringing families from To- ronto, OShawa, Columbus, Nestle- ton, Cadmus, Haydon and even Saskatchewan. The children en- joyed the slides and swings, the young teen agers engaged in a game of ball while the older folks renewed frierdships of othar days.

"Located southwest of Oshawa Arena, just east of Glad« stone Avenue, the cemetery, once the pride of the Wesleyan Methodist Church, now is a tangle of weeds and shrubbery with ornately carved headstones broken and tumbled to the ground--a forgotten corner of our modern city. Names of pioneer families are engraved on the headstones; names such as Kerr and Luke and Dearborn and Ritson, The cemetery has a history cover, ing more than a century. Original owner of the land who obtained it through a Crown patent was John B. Warren. In November, 1847, he sold the one-acre site to the trus- tees of the Wesleyan Methodist | Church for £20 sterling, The burial | ground was set-up by the trustees | and the land in October, 1860, was | deeded to John Ritson for the con- | sideration of five shillings. This move was to overcome a legal tech- nicality since the trustees wished to enlarge the original board. Original Trustees The original trustees were Wil-! liam F.

He also called for urgent action to stop what he called a race among death of Wililam Moore -and the withdrawal of William Calkins from the church. After the new board, composed of William Garfat, George Flint, James Fewster, Paul Stephen- son, James Nesbitt, William Thomas, Martin Shaw, William Ritson, James Luke, Richard Wellington and George Edwards, the land was transferred back to the Wesleyan Methodist Church by John Ritson. All the new trustees were labelled "yeoman" except for Martin Shaw, who was a blacksmith; James Luke, a joiner; Richard Wellington, a cabinet maker, and George Edwards, a bricklayer. According to Gordon 'A. Crouse, Oshawa geneologist, the cemetery was not used after 1867 when the Union Cemetery was formed by the Methodist and the Presbyterian Churches. An old marked grave, of which there are about 100 in the old ce- metery, is that of Norris Kerr, dated 1842. This must have been a re- burial since the cemetery was not in operation until 1847. Norris Kerr of New York, fought in Washing- ton's Army in the American Revo- lution and was the first settler in what is now Oshawa north of King Street. His two sons, John and Wil- liam , settled in what is now the north-east and north-west wards respectively. The north-east ward was then known as Kerr's Wood and the north-west ward as Kerr's Creek. Belongs To United Church Although county registry records do not show the transfer of the ce- metery after it was deed to the Wesleyan Methodist Church in 1860, it is listed in Oshawa's assessment roll as belonging to the United Church of Canada. As years went by and land values increased, the church sold some of the land front- ing on King Street as building lots, maintaining a 10-foot right-of-way to the actual burying ground.

Accord-" ing to Mr. Crouse, the cemetery is cleaned up about once every ten years, and during these cleaning periods - broken or toppled head- stones are carted away, thus depriv~ ing the. city of valuable historical records.

Like every company, Johns- Manville over the years has to make profits or go out of busi- ness. Profits provide money to low back into the sowpany io eep it a leader in its field. The owners of the company, the stockholders, invest their sav- ings because they believe the company will make profits, and will be able to pay them a re- turn in the form of dividends for the use of their money. They would not invest in a los- ing proposition. Without profits the company would go downhill, employees would be laid off, and eventual- ly there would be no jobs at all. The Canadian system _is a system of profit and loss. When there are profits, payrolls are up and there is general pros- perity. When there are losses, Jobs disappear and everybody suffers, This system has given more people more things than any other system the world has ever known, and this is only the be- inning of what it can produce or all of us. This is one of a series of answers to questions frequently asked about Canadian Johns- Manville and Canadian industry.

Warm Debate On Police Police Chief Irvine was present at the meeting and brought in his first monthly report of work done and calls made, as asked for by the council several weeks ago. Council informed the Chief that there was a continuous stream of complaints over neglect of police work.
