MONDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1948 'THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE THREE Weekend Mishaps Claims 25 Lives In Eastern Canada é& Large Congregation Hears Rev. Frank Yardley At 34th Birthday Service Using the Ontario hydro short- age as a parable Rev. Frank Yard- ley, minister of the United Church 'of Canada in Courtice, Ont., and guest minister at Albert Street Uni- ted Church here, said the light of the church is dimmed by a shortage of "spiritual power." Rev. Mr. Yardley was delivering the sermon at the morning service on the occa- sion of the 34th anniversary of the Albert Street Church. He was also guest speaker at the evening serv- ice, and spoke to large congrega- tions on both occasions. He was using the parable to illus- trate the necessity for the conver- sion of Canadians to the church. He pointed to the fact that "only half enough ministers are coming forward, churches the world over are half empty, and thousands of our neighbors are quite obviously giving God and His church no place in their lives." Rev. Mr, Yardley said he felt there is enough untapped spiritual power in Canada to "turn Canada upside down." Continuing he said, "the only stipulstion God would make is that they be converted." Referring to Saul and his reli- gion the speaker said it was a "legal religion, and he hoped to win the favor of God by strict obedience to the elaborate Jewish law and this meant he hoped to earn his salvation by himself, without God's help, "It is both folly, and conceit," he continued, "to think that the good life is something you do by your- self. Then a religion like Saul's quickly becomes a mercenary re- ligion. After a man has piled up enough years of good deeds and obedience to law he begins to feel that God owes him something . . . Then lastly the kind of religion Saul had pays an altogether un- healthy to negatives. Religionists of this caliber get a sort of distort- ed pleasure from boasting about the things they do not do and tend to forget the positive things they ought to do . . . One sometimes hears of ople who have just enough re- on to make them miserable." In the evening the guest minister took as his subject the necessity for rest in this world. "The truth is and always has been," he said, "that men who cannot rest must inevit- ably crash to destruction. History, mythology, and literature are crowded with the tragic stories of individuals who came to a bad end morally, physically and spiritually because they would not be still and make their peace with God." He sald that even as he was speaking thousands of Canadians turning themselves "into walking ghosts." Continuing, / Rev. Mr. Yardley said, "our age is sick in the head and sick at heart because men are rushing madly after wealth, or are driven by prideful ambitions, they elbow each other aside in a mad scramble for position and pres- tige and power." He warned businessmen not to make money God, but to take God into partnership. The guest minister was assisted throughout both services by Rev. E. Donovan Jones, B.A., M.Th., reg- ular pastor of Albert Street United Church. Yesterday's services marked the completion of 34 years' service to the community of Oshawa by the Albert Street Church, and the front of the church was bedecked with flowers, Musie for both services was under direction of Mrs. R. Holden, and at both services the choir sang stir- ring anthems, while the congrega- tion joined in the singing of several hymns. Coming Events RUMMAGE SALE, KING STREET Church, Tuesday, 3 o'clock.

British Parliament Session Opens Tuesday London, Oct. 26 -- (CP) --Press- ing defence problems and a bitter fight over nationalization of the steel industry face the Labor gov- ernment in the new session of Par- llament which opens Tuesday. For the first time in 10 years, the King will wear his jeweled crown and ermine-trimmed robes at the colorful opening ceremony. But Labor Peers will be unable to appear in scarlet and ermine Peers' robes as they had hoped. A stock of the robes set aside for them has been destroyed by flooding in the basement of a London outfitting firm, Only one robe was unscathed. The Labor Peers will appear in morning dress or service uniform. Most Conservative and Liberal Peers own their own ceremonial robes and will be able to wear them for the ogpening-day formalities. The fofmal return to a measure of peacetime pomp reflects the new feeling here that Britain finally is winning her post-war struggle for economic recovery. But behind the pageantry lie fresh worries for Prime Minister Attlee's Labor Gov- ernment, entering its fourth year of power, In the international field, de- fence is the big problem. Last month the government announced it was embarking on a "moderate" rearmament program. Demobiliza- tion of troops was ordered slowed. Conservative party leaders have said they will press for a longer period of service for draftees. A year ago the government, under pressure from its left-wing labor ranks, reduced the period to one year after originally proposing 18 months. In the home field, the govern- ment's decision to proceed with nationalization of the steel indus- try has aroused the bitterest opposi- tion since labor won the 1945 gen- eral elections, The bill is expected to be introduced in November. Steel is the last--and perhaps the most important--industry which the Labor government is pledged to put under public ownership during its five-year term of office. Already nationalized, are coal, electflcity, gas, railroads, long-distance truck- ing, airlines and the Bank of Eng- land. 'Up to now the House of Lords, where the Conservatives are strong- ly in the majority, has not exer- cised its power to delay nationali- zation legislation for two years. But the government, fearing the Lords Reuther Faces Attack--Defendant Walter Reuther, president of the United Auto Workers (C.L0.) is pictured on the stand before Judge Stein in a Detroit court as he faced Carl Bolton (nog shown), who is accused by the state prosecutor of shooling Reuther last April. Reuther's right arm is in a sling and wires holding the bones in place are shown. The arm was shattered by shot-gun slugs fired through a window of his home. ~-Oentral Press Canadian would hold up steel nationalization beyond labor's last two years in office, has introduced legislation to cut the Lords' power of delay to one year. Twice within the last year, the Lords have rejected the Commons- approved bill to curb the Upper House. In the new session of Par- liament, the Labor-dominated Com- mons will be able to pass the bill a third time over the Lords' dis- approval and thus finally put it int- law--in time to pass the . steel nationalization bill with only one- year's delay by the House of Lords. If the nationalization of steel thus becomes law by November or December of 1949, there will be only 'a few months remaining be- fore the general elections scheduled in the spring of 1950. This would make steel nationali- zation a major campaign issue, with Conservatives pledging to repeat the measure if they return to power. Drunken Driver Gets Ten Days As Crash Sequel Convicted today in police court on a charge of driving while drunk, Raymond Whitaker, R.R. 2, Port Perry, was sentenced by Magistrate Frank Ebbs to serve ten days in the county jail. In default of pay~ ment of costs he will serve ten ad- ditional days. His car is impound- ed for three months and his licence to drive suspended for the same time. Following a plea of guilty, Crown Attorney Alex Hall said that Whit- aker was driving south on the high- way between Oshawa and Port Perry following an all-night card game. He attempted to pass another motorist who, in turn was trying to pass an oil truck. He did not make it and collided with the automobile, driven by a man by the name of Smith. He did not stop and Smith was forced to chase him and catch him. Smith brought the accused back to- Osh- awa and here police officers cor- roborated his belief that Whitaker was drunk. Damage to the car was in the neighborhood of $110. Pointing out that the accused was a married man with five children, all under ten years, R. D. Humph- reys, K.C., asked for leniency. He pointed out that the man was not driving fast. Imposing sentence, the Magis- trate thought the man erred gravely in not stopping after the collision. Measuring Tape Lack Worries Magistrate Ebbs One of the things Magistrate Frank Ebbs will bring up this af- ternoon when the Police Commis- sion meets is the matter of squad cars being provided at all in with measuring tapes. ' Testifying this morning in poilce court Con- stable Harold Wright admitted that when it came time to make meas- urements following an accident on October 13, 'he could not find a tape. Magistrate Ebbs finally drew the reluctant admission from Wright that there was no tape in the car that day. "I strongly suggest that tape measures be kept in the car at all times,' said Magistrate Ebbs. "Chief Friend reminded me to bring that matter up at Police Commission meeting this afternoon." "I understand that the Chief was using 'the office tape that day to measure in his garden," slyly sug- gested R. D. Humphreys, K.C. The Chief started forward angrily and then subsided with a smile when a chuckle went through the courtroom. school's. four-wheeled . wreck. "Miss Cheerleader" Marilyn Lavis, 18-year-old Vaughan Rd.

She is perched on fender of her --Photo by Globe sad, Mail Following is the ' prize winning essay written by Joy Cayley, 40 Hillcrofi Street, a pupil of Grade XI at the Oshawa Collegiate and Vocational Institute. This is one of a series of essays, written to arouse interest in the Greater Oshawa Community Chest. In the.long-ago days of chivalry when human equality was young, gallant knights in shining armour astride dashing steeds aided those in misery and distress. Today we are privileged to do the same, though in a quieter, less romantic," but even more effective way, through the Community Chest. Each per- son who gives is awarded the Red Feather which the daring knights so proudly wore to tell of their gallant hearts, However, the effort of the com- munity as a whole at one time does much more than a knight could do to aid those in dire need. The young, whether disabled or in the full blosom of health, can be given every opportunity. The sick can be placed under the care of experi- enced nurses, and the healthy kept happy under the careful supervision of trained recreational workers. The teen-agers can be kept out of mischief by such organizations as Teen-town or the C.R.A. There are many clubs which will fit them so that they will not need aid but will, in their turn, be able to assist others, The midde-aged can benefit from community recreational cen- tres also, and in their turn can ald the old. and. feeble and help build the lives of those younger and less experienced than themselves. An example of such a group is to be ound in the welfare workers of the lvation Army. Even a child just old enough to read and under- stand Victor Hugo's immortal book "Les Miserables" can appreciate their work, for it is through such organizations as this that situations similar to Jean Valjean's are pre- vented. The old and frail can bé cared for by the community. It is com- forting to know that no matter how Why We Should Give To Community Chest few relatives or how little money he has, one will always be looked after, by his now-awakening bro- thers of the community. We must be willing to share what we have with others; not only with those we know and love, but with those we shall never even hear of. We must remember that the com- munity is our own personal con- cern. Each of us is instinctively willing to assist a sick relative or a neighbourng family who have ex- perienced some tragedy; but there are others than they who need our assistance. Therefore, let us, the knights of a quieter age, heed the call of our community. e Community Chest is ours--let's fill it. Broke Into Home, Youth Remanded Placed on suspended sentence only a week ago following conviction on a charge of vagrancy, Kenneth Graves, 16, of 416 Park Road South, pleaded guilty today in court to a charge of burglarizing the home of Howard J. McComb, 114 Albert Street on Saturday night. Magis trate Ebbs remanded the youth for sentence until his father could be witty him in court, The break-in occurred at 9:30 on Saturday night, Inspector Wilbert Dawn told the court. When appre- hended Graves was carrying a skele- ton key, He had 'broken into the McComb residence and was extract- ing a piece of pie from the refrig- erator when caught by the owner.

Large congrega- tions were in atténdance at both services to listen to the addresses delivered by the pastor, Rev. F. J. Whiteley, B.A.,, B.D. Under the director of N. Williams, organist and choirmaster, the choir presented special music at both services. Assisting soloists were Mr. and Mrs. Harry Shannon of West Hill who both sang solos at both morning and evening services. At the morning service the choir sang the anthem "Behold Now, Praise the Lord" while at the evening service the anthem was "Hark, Hark, My Soul" by Schelley with Mrs. P. Fletcher and Mrs. G. Den- nis taking the solo parts. Basing his sermon at the morn- ing service on the theme "The Challenge of Small Things", Mr. Whiteley took his text from the 13th verse of the fifth chapter of Second Kings: "If the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldst thou not have done it", The minister emphasized that people so often look for the spec- tacular things in life that they over- look the simple things which God calls upon us to do. Christians must face the facts so as to be able to answer their own problems. Making a plea for obedience in small things and small ways, Mr. Whiteley stressed that one cannot learn to be obedient to God's will without being attentive to His wishes. This means people must be obedient in. their 'daily lives. They must closely examine themselves to see to it they make every possible contribution to the furtherance of God's work, , "We are not prepared to do th great things unless we master the little things required of us by God", Mr. Whiteley said in conclusion, Cause 14 Four Die Traffic Accidents Deaths; In Fires By The Canadian Press A London, Ont., man joined his wife in death Sunda night as he walked to the funeral home where his wife's body awaited burial.
