Combining The Oshawa Times and Whitby Gazette and Chronicle 3 WHITBY VOL. 7--NO. 262 - OSHAWA-WHITBY TUESDAY, 'NOVEMBER 9, 1948 PAGE THREE Goodwill Among Men Seen Greatest World Need Today "Unless we can develop which can be trusted our whole civilization may go on the rocks and the whole planet will be annihilated. M#n, who have an understanding of their times, are needed today to help develop a spirit of community goodwill," declared Rev. E. Crossley Hunter, B.A., B.D., minister of Trinity United Church, Toronto, during his address at the luncheon meeting of the Oshawa Rotary Club in Hotel Genosha yesterday. The speaker, who was introduced ¢ by Rotarian W. J. Riesberry, spoke on the theme "New Times . .. New Virtues" tracing the great changes which have taken place in the world during the past 100 years and the new problems which have aris- en to beset mankind. The vote of thanks was ably proposed by Presi- dent John G. Geikie. Above Time And Circumstances Prefacing his remarks, Mr, Hun- ter said a morally good deed is above time and circumstances but that certain virtues have greater value at certain times than others. By way of illustration he pointed out that thrift is no longer the vir- tue it once was as we now live in an sage whose economic structure depends on the circulation of mon- ey. In the days when the pioneers were opening up Ontario, rugged, sturdy, self reliance was a virtue, but today a spirit of co-operation is essential. He suggested that be- hind the frustration so apparent today is the basic reason that in- sufficient emphasis is bejng plac- ed on the virtues of peculiar value and necessity in the world today. The first necessity for the world of today cited by Mr. Hunter was the art of discrimination required for wise living in every field of life. In the rush and bustle of the modern world there is only so much time to do and learn things and for that reason in our kind of world a discriminating mind is a fundamental virtue if life is to be lived wisely. ' There must also be a greater ap- preciation of other races, creeds, religions and nationalities. Commu- 'nication and travel have been so speeded up that the peoples of the world are today inter-dependent and must learn to live together or not at all. The most important virtue of the modern age, Mr. Hunter declared, is for men to find a moral and spiritual power to cope adequately with the vastly increased mechani- «cal power which has been entrusted to them. In this ragard it was pointed out that a hundred years ago 15 per centeof all energy re- quired for industry and agriculture came from manpower whereas to- day the figure has shrunk to three per cent, "No one, including the physicists, see the full implication locked in the unbelievable power which has come into the possession of man. Its possibilities for good and evil are beyond imagination. At long last man has reached into the cre- ative power of the universe. Man has harnessed the molecule and its destructive forces have already . been fell by the world." Two Sustain Minor Injuries Minor injuries were sustained by two persons following a week-end accident which took place at the corner of Division and William Streets. i George Robert Moore, 28 Wilson Road South, reported to police that he was driving north on Division Street and at the time he was crossing the intersection of Willi- am Street his delivery van was struck on the side by an automo- bile driven by Howard W. Raynard, 322 Colborne Street East, and turn- ed on its side. Police report said that Reynard admitted not bringing his car to a standstill at the stop sign on Wil- liam Street. Moore received a cut on the side of the head and complained of bruised ribs. Mrs. Reynard, who was driving with her husband suf- fered shock. The delivery van had the right rear fender, the complete left side, the hood, grill and radiator damag- ed.

These advertisements show that under the present English appren- ticeship system, women as well as men are required to spend some time learning a trade. One asks for a "well-spoken young lady of good appearance, aged 14-16, to learn ladies' heardressing," while another employer, in the drapery trade, is looking for "a smart girl, good at figures," who will receive 'good wages while learning." Unfortunately none of these ads mention the prevailing wages for this kind of work, but it is under- ood that there are union wage scales for learners in almost all British industries. An advertisement for a male ap- prentice in the building trade men- tions the legislation which controls much of British apprénticeship, the Student Apprenticeship Scheme. It states that a "local builder has va- cancy for youth to be trained as surveyor and estimator under the S.AS.," and tells applicants to "reply in own handwriting, giving age and scholastic experience."

Judge Kiwanis Poultry Here On Saturday Some of the members of the Oshawa Kiwanis Club are going to be in the chicken business on Sat- urday, November 20, when the acti- vities of the boys' and girls' poultry club, sponsored by the Oshawa Ki- wanians will be wound up for 1948. | One of the conditions of member- ship in this poultry club, is that in return for receiving their initial supply of chicks from the Kiwanis Club, each member will return, in the fall, three cockerels. These birds are judged, as in a poultry show, and prizes are awarded for the best cockerels brought in by the boys and girls. To encourage them in having these birds in excellent condition for marketing, instruc tions have been sent to each mem- ber of the poultry club as to the best methods of feeding for finish- ing off their birds. With about 100 boys and girls in the poultry club, it is expected that some 300 cockerels will be brought to the Rotary Hall on Centre Street on the morning of Saturday, Nov ember 20, between 9 and 11 o'clock. The birds will be assembled for judging by members of the Kiwanis Agricultural Committee, and valu- able prizes will be awarded to the winners. In addition, there is a cup presented to the school in the district winning the highest number of points in the poultry judging. At the close of the judging, lunch will be served to all the boys and girls who bring in their poultry, after which they will .be guests of the Kiwanis Club at the Marks Theatre for the afternoon showing of pictures. Morley B. Reed, chairman of the Agricultural Committee of the Osh- awa Kiwanis Club, is in fharge of this activity, and has arranged for] 2 group of memnibers who might be expected to have some knowledge of how to handle poultry to be on hand to assist him, After judging is completed, the birds will be ship- ped to the Pickering Farms, where they will be graded, weighed and made ready for market, with the proceeds going to the Kiwanis Cled to provide a nucleus for g fund to continue poultry club work next There aré bargains galore! -- on Small Generators Are Boon To Local Service Stations In Cut-offs The hydro power shortage is no generator he is able to serve his problem to gasoline service stations | Whole business with electricity. It have their own gasoline generators / r land used car lots -- not while they | will' generate 5000 watts for fou hours en 2% gallons of gasoline. Purchased during the power short- and 'motors to pump the gasoline. age last year from the War Assets They can turn them on any time of the day, power cut-off or not, and have all the electricity needed to keep in business. Before the 'gasoline stations had the pump motors they were almost paralyzed having to pump the gas- oline by hand. The motor pump which uses only a pint of gasoline a week does the job in half the time the regular service does, ser- vice station attendants maintain. "It's a 'God send," said the at- tendant at Russell's Sunoco Service Station after his garage bought a generator from an American Com- 'pany. He said that before, during the late cuts, they were practically out of business, fir it was impassible to see a thing. Many operators, who close their garages early or use it as a lunch hour, have no necessity for the generators. The manager of Bill Nichols. Mo- tors claimed that with his $1,700 Corporation it was used by the Sig- nal Corps during the war. The main generating unit appears to be the engine out of a car. The manager of McLellans Tire and Battery Service said he was going to install a generator until he heard that there was a possibil- |ity of it igniting from the fumes from the gasoline tank while it was in operation. Another dealer remarked that they had taken the precaution to cover any dangerous parts. The smaller size generators which cost up to $150 will light three or four 100 watt lights and pump gas- oline aswell. The original use of these generators was to supply elec- tricity to farm and rural districts isolated from hydro services. The smaller machines are start- ed and operated in much the same way as otboard motors, and many of them are made by outboard mo- tor manufacturers, Residents Of Pickering Assured Of Water Supply If Debenture Approved The 800 inhabitants of Pickering Village will not have to scurry around from well 'to well for their water next summer if they approve a debenture issue of $76,000 for the laying of - water-mains from Ajax to the village next year. The whole village gets its water, drinking and otherwise, from wells, some of which' give .cool, clear water and others water much more doubtful. According to Dr, V. E. Cartwright of Pickering, most of these wells dry up in the summer, and this year, during one of the worst droughts ever know in the district, only about 18 wells in the whole village remained productive. In many cases seven to 10 families were using the same pump. Dr. Cartwright is dubious about the purity of the water from many of these wells: "I think most of the people are scared to send their water to be tested in case it is condemned," he said. "There is no question that water from many of the wells should be condemned as unfit for human consumption." The doctor said that it is over 20° years since there has been a case of typhoid in the district, "but if' we had even one now I would really be worried. The disease can be water-borne," he said. However; less than a mile away, The Times-Gazette classified page. the crown village of Ajax has water, lots of water, more than it needs. The pumping station built on the lake front to supply. the village and the war plant during the war can supply 2,000,000 gallons a day while the present consumption is only 302,000 gallons, . A report to the village trustees of Pickering by. Gore and Storie, consultant engineers, recommends that the village enter into an agree- ment with Ajax to buy water and lay the mains up to the Ajax.road and west along No.2 Highway to Pickering. They estimate the cost about $76,000 for-the laying .of the mains, Cyril Morley, secretary of . the board of trustees, said a public meeting will be called in Pickering to discuss the matter and if the people seem to favor the: proposi- tion a vote will be taken on the matter on election day. } Pickering Village lies between two good traffic arteries, Nos. 2 and 2A Highway, and is close to railroad facilities. It already has a good supply of hydro and, with the water piped in, many towns- men feel that an era of expansion will hit the village such as it has never seen before. Anovher Uhilog, the housewife will not have to trot down the yard to the pump for her water or 'dash to the neighbors when her own well OSHAWA CHADBURN SQUADRON. By CPL. BURTON RUSSELL Nov. 9, 1948--Did you Air Cadets know that you are rewarded mater- ially for your attendance on Cadet parades? It is true! Any Air Cadet who attends parades all year gets ten dollars worth of flying time. , | One day absent only, will bring you seven dollars and fifty cents worth of flying time, and only two days absence will net you five dollars worth. Already many cadets have flown by using these awards (dona- ted by the way, by the Ontario County Flying Club) and some have yet to use theirs. All Cadets who have not used their awards which were presented to them last May should note that there is a set deadline of Tuesday, November 16, after which they are invalid, This is only fair, for six months is plenty of time in which to do a bit of flying, lasting, at the maximum, one afternoon. But, anyway, row about that? It isn't everybody that can get ten dollars for being somewhere they want to go to anyhow. All this for Just being there! Not only that, but think of the Flying Courses, which six of the better, all-round Cadets win, every summer, and not just N.C.O.'s either! And there are mov- fes, street parades, summer camps, trips to US, Britain, and Austral- ia, bands, wrestling, model build- ing, and many others. On the edu- cational side, signalling, navigation, airmanship, aero-engines, and so on, can be had for a little concen- tration. All in all, it is worth three hoyrs a week isn't it fellows? And by" the way, any boy wishing to Join Air Cadets has just to show up on Tuesday nights at the C.R.A. building on Gibbs Street, and he will be informed of the simple enlist- ment procedure. It's a grand orga- nization, chaps! The parade last Tuesday consist- ed of aircraft ignition and instru- ments for the senior group, (which sounds more technical than it real- ly is), Airmanship of the Interme- diates (who are progressing well I've heard) and Navigation for our up - and - coming Juniors, after which we had recreation. The Jun- for Group is renaming itself, it is rumored. It: is. now the FAFS.T. TIB.W.G.T. (which deciphered means "Farther Away From Seniors Than The Intermediates, But We're Getting There" (society?). Our strength decreased by one; L.A.C. M. Robinson retired from the Squadron, but an increase of one, the enrollment of R. McLean, brought the total up again. : Everyone knows how the presi- dential elections turned out in the US, and we all know it couldn't possibly have been a better choice. But this reminds me of a story I once heard. "Johnny, a humorous, hard-work- ing little European, was the first foreigner ever to settle in the small, southern town and as such, was an object of deep interest. Came the great day when Johnny could cast his" first vote and half the town accompanied him to the polls. Hands 1-ere- outstretched and voices greeted him eagerly when he came out of the voting booth. "How's it feel to be a voter?" "Wonderful, gentlemen, wonder- ful!" Johnny answered seriously. Then his mood changed and he grinned impishly. "Gentlemen, I'll go further, I'll say that any man who didn't vote as I did is a darn fool." Smiles faded, for that primary had been hard fought. "So0-0?" ask- ed a menacing voice. "And just how did you vote, Mr. know-it-all?" Johnny sniiled disarmingly. "Why, gentlemen, I voted to suit mysélf -- and I'm sure you'll agree that any man who doesn't do that is a darn fool. . On Thursday we had a film that 'was recognized by many but was liked by all, called "Desert Victory." This gave us Cadets an idea what the co-operation of our land- sea, and air forces can accomplish. It gave us the thought that, though we know a task cannot be acom- plished without our help, this is also true of the other fellow. The football season, which is the only time of the year when a man can wala down the street with a blonde on one arm and a blanket on the other without encountering raised eyebrows is nearly over, and those Cadets wanting to play hoc- key should contact L.A.C. French tonight. ' Leaving you with the fact that you should never let your schooling interfere with your education, I'll see youl Cadets tonight, and every reader next week.

The new addition will be used as a service entrance, and will give space for additional service to large trucks.

It is expected that 19,000 square feet of floor space will be in use next year. Heading the Ajax plant will be E. H. Porter of Wales. The Toronto office of the firm is at 60% Adelaide] St. West. George W. Finley, manager of the Central Mortgage and Housing] Ajax Development project, said t! morning the firm will start in a small way using one of the D.IL buildings which has not been used since the war. Next June the build ing, now being used by the Univers ity of Toronto, will be available and the firm will move to its per- manent premises. He said that only about 4,000 square feet of floor space would be used in the temporary building, but] that this would be expanded to about 19,000 square feet when the other building is taken over next June, It is learned the company plans to employ about 30 workers at the) outset, but believes that eventually it will be able to employ up to 300, | Only 18 Fire Calls | Here During October | There were only 18 calls received {by the Oshawa Fire Department | during the month of October, - This| | figure is considered low by authori | ties. | There was only one serious fire. | That occurred on October 7 at the {home of Jack McLaughlin, 260 Greenwood Avenue.
