Ki- wanian Bert Coulter and at the conclusion of his very splendid ad- dress, Past President A. J, Parkhill voiced the thanks and appreciation of the large turnout of members. Reviewing the early history of Canada and its pioneer settlers, the speaker pointed out that they did not dare to take even the next day of life for granted, let alone be as- sured of food, water, clothing and shelter for themselves and family but today, we in this land of peace and plenty take too much for granted, we assume too much. "We who today feel so secure in our knowledge of our securities, our safety and our law-given privileges, are to prone to forget our own history," declared the speaker, "We must realize the privilege we have to have inherited this type of country, with cur way of life and we should be ready to pro- claim the worth of our own society, we need not deny the discrepancies which we realize exist, but instead we should be prepared .to work to eliminate the bad and replace the bad with the good, "We are a part of this democrat- ic system and we must do our part, we must be aggressive citizens, if we are to maintain what our fore- fathers fought for and what our fellow citizens have fought for, twice in the past generation," de- clared Lieut.-Gov.

In closing his inspiring address, Kiwanian Bob Stroud emphasized, "we must dedicate our own lives to improve our way of life and to pass on to our descendants that sacred trust we have been given, our free- dom, with all that it means, our way of life, in .n even hetter form than we found it." One of the world's most beauti- | ful waterfalls, the Sutherland Falls Io New Zealand has a drop of 1,900 month for disorderly conduct, this morning, in magistrate's court. He was arrested by Oshawa police for following and disturbing an Osh- awa woman. "The women of this city are Boing to be protected from people ike you, who get 'lit up,'" Magis- trate R. P. Locke, QC, told the accused, after pronouncing sen- tence. According to evidence given by Miss Myrtle Ariss, 122 Mary Street the complainant, Hopkins met her in the Gray Coach Lines Limited bus terminal on March 17. After exchanging a few words with her, the accused followed the middle- aged woman from the Prince Street terminal to the corner of William Street. She told the court that Hopkins would not leave her, although she told him to. The conversation was opened when Hopkins told her"he knew her brother, Mr, "Harris," Miss Ariss stated. Constable C. H. Smith, the in- vestigating officer, found the man and woman in a heated discussion at Mary and William Streets and when he asked Hopkins what the trouble was, received the reply: 'No trouble." Smith said the man had been drinking. The officer took the accused to the police station. Miss Ariss told the constable that she had not seen the man previcus to their meeting in the bus terminal. Before sentence was passed, the accused, who pleaded not guilty to the sherds, had nothing to say in his own defence. City Renames Two Streets The three streets in Oshawa that are named Hogel, Hogel and Ho- gel -- '"'just like a law firm" -- are to be renamed. Under the new Sinem of Set naming two of ogels were redesignated Louisa and Fraser, . Residents on the other Hogel, which is on the east side of Thornton Road North, applied to the planning board last night for their Hogel Street to be rechris- tened. The name of Mr. Hogel did 'not appear on the petition, Norman Millman, chairman of the bord said that the third Hogel, 'of the street firm of Hogel, Hogel and Hogel" was in the area which was being given the names of Canadian rivers. The board decided to give the third Hogel the name of the river Severn, KARACHI (CP)--Iron ore dis- covered in the Chitral region of Pakistan is reported to be of high quality.

W. H. GIFFORD "All Oshawa will regret the sud- den passing of the late George Hart, an exemplary citizen, one who maintained the highest tradi- tions and gave of his best in sup- port of things worthwhile. His in- fluence in many of our humai- ii activities will be sadly mis. sed." C. F. CANNON Deputy Minister of Education "I regret very much the passing of Mr, George Hart, a great citi zen and a personal friend of mine. Mr. Hart was always ready to as- sist any worthwhile cause, and will long be remembered as one who obtained gocd marks for all his good works." T. K. CREIGHTON, QC "The sudden passing of George Hart removes one who was to me an old and highly estimated friend, |and to all of the community, one {of our best known and respected citizens. He had spent a long and inaustrious life in Oshawa, one in which he never spared himself either in his own business, or his responsibilities to the public of the community which he executed very willingly and carried out with a high seuge of his public duty. He was a man of marked integrity of character, and he was loyal at all times to his principles, His death will be a great loss not only to his own family, but to his wide circle of friends." COL. R. B. SMITH "For many years, it has been my privilege to have been a close friend of the late George Hart whose sudden passing will be felt by a large number of Oshawa citi- zens. His contribution to the vari- ous activities in Oshawa will be sadly missed." G. F. SHREVE "The name of George Hart will long live in the memories of a large number of Oshawa citizens. His work in the Rotary Club, the Community Chest, his Masonic ac- tivities, and many other fields of endeavor will be remembered for a long time. He was indeed an exemplary citizen." ' COL. FRANK CHAPPELL "In the passing of George Hart, the entire community has suffered a great loss, A sterling patriot of solid English stock, he was tireless in well doing in the land of his adoption, His sound common sense will be greatly missed in the many activities in which he played so great a part. I treasure the mem- ory of his warm friendship." STEWART R. ALGER "George Hart saw Oshawa grow from a neighborly town into a busy city, the centre of a great indus- trial area. Many new workers have come here with high hopes and ambitions for their families. Keep- ing Oshawa a friendly community has been the work of many agen- cies; all joined in the Greater Osh- awa Community Chest, of which George Hart was an esteemed Past President. He was keenly in- terested in every activity for the good of his home-town and will be greatly missed." ALDERMAN NORMAN DOWN President Oshawa Milk Producers Assoc. '"As an old friend, a neighbor of many years, as one who has been a supplier of milk to George Hart's Oshawa Dairy for 33 years, as President of the Oshawa Milk Producers Association, I feel the sudden passing of this distinguish- ed citizen keenly. The late Mr. Hart undoubtedly has been a citi- zen of worth, and his life in this country is another instance of the opportunities that are continually available to young men who seek their future by claiming Canada as the land of their adoption. He was successful so far as earthly returns are concerned, but what is a more important tribute, he has left a mark which will be remem- bered in this community. As one of his suppliers, and as President of the Milk Producers Assoc., feel that I can speak on behalf of a large host of suppliers who extend their sincere sympathies to those who will mourn his passing." WALTER BRANCH President, Oshawa Rotary Club "George Hart was one of Osh- awa's best known and best liked citizens, He will be sadly missed by all' who knew him. Mr, Hart was a Past President of the Ro- tary Club of Oshawa, and was last year elected an honorary member, He attended Club meetings regu- larly and his wise counsel and help had a great influence on the Club as a whole. I extend ny sin- cere sympathy to his family at this time." Name City Builder To Housing Group TORONTO (CP) -- Canadian house builders "never had it so ood," D. B. Mansur, president of entral Mortgage and Housing Corporation, said Tuesday. In an address to the National House Builders' Association, Mr. Mansur said the demand for houses is stronger than it has been | since 1948 and there is no im-| mediate indication of a lessening of that demand.

Welsh Denies Meals In Beverage Rooms Poor 01d Soul Londoners Murmur LONDON (AP)--*'Poor old soul-- and she wanted to see her grand- child crowned so badly." So sorrowing Britons murmured as they wandered slowly away from gaunt Marlborough House early to- day after a night-long vigil. There were a few tears as the waiting crowd pressed against the tiny board hung outside the gates of Marlborough House bearing the final bulletin telling the world the courageous old Queen had died. Men, some in evening dress, gently removed their hats and here and there a woman dabbed at her eyes as they ffled two deep past the board. They stopped for a few seconds, looked at the small slip of paper headed by royal crest in black and then passed.

Tell Citizens How To Stop Street Blocks Citizens were Monday night given instruction by city council in the ways and means of taking the Osh- awa Rallway Company to court on a charge of blocking the highway. Aldermen joined with the local labor council in blasting the shunt- er operation for blocking main streets during rush periods. A shunter towing 50 cars held up Ald. Orville Eagle for more than 120 minutes on William Street last week, Veteran of two successful court actions against the shunter service, |Ald. Herb Robinson explained the procedure. The law says that no railway train can block a crossing for more than five minutes. 'An example has to be made," sald Ald. Robinson. If the train was on a crossing for more than the five minute maximum then the person held up should obtain the name of the conductor and the number of the train in prepara- tion for the laying of a charge. 'Call a policeman," advised City Solicitor John Hare when alder- men pointed out that there might be difficulty in getting a conduct- or's name. "Some people find it easier to write to council than to get the conductor's name," he added. Now $6 richer, Ald. Ribinson dis- closed that if an informant took the case to court and was success- ful he was paid $3 in witnesses fees. "Out in the country the farmers wouldn't tolerate this,' observed Ald. Norman Down. "And their roads are not blocked by traffic jams many blocks long."

Canadian Press Business Editor | A cookstdbve made of rubble, with | a garbage can for an oven, is a feature at the convention and ex- hibition of the Canadian Restaur- ant Association now being held in Toronto. This primitive cookstove is set amid thousands of gleaming uten- sils and gadgets of sleek restaurant operation. It is not there, however, for contrast--and it is not there to ing has progressed. It is there to show people how to get to work quickly if war or disaster should set them to forag- ing amid ruins. The cookstove is part of an ex- hibit by civil defence welfare ser- vices, which was opened Monday by Maj.-Gen. F. F, Worthington, federal civil defence co-ordinator. Electric- and gas-operated equip- ment of restaurants may be put out of commission, but anyone, if he knows how, can quickly set up an emergency kitchen with things that are around him. He can build a stove from rubble, using mud for cement. He can set an oven in its centre, even if, as with the current exhibit, it is only a garbage can. He can provide a fuel space underneath which will burn wood, or hold a flash pan for oil and water.' In Britain, some 60,000 women '| struction are being taught how to go to work quickly with such *'curbside'"' cook« ery. British experience is that people in their first distress and shock need something "hot & sweet"--probably tea or The "curbside" cookstove can vide that and follow up quickly with sustaining stews. Restaurants and other cooking and baking establishments are being asked to make arrange- ments so that they can quickly put emergency facilities to work, if their modern kitchens are put out of action. And, shortly, communities across Canada will asked to send rep- resentatives to Ottawd to take in- in emergency cooking and feeding. These representatives will, in turn become teachers in their own communities. The current restaurant conven- tion and exhibition has some of the hoopla of /a political convention-- each section of the country backing its own selection for the honor of becoming "restaurateur of the year." Fifteen candidates have been chosen. Badges reading "our boy's Charlie' refer to Charles Bruno of Hamilton, and "we like Mike" to Mike C. Mario of Windsor, Ont. A strong British Columbia con- tingent includes as candidate Char- lotte A. Mann, who has been in |the restaurant business in Vernon, |B. C., for 34 years. Labor Shortage Foreseen Here A prediction that within six weeks there will be a shortage of labor in Oshawa has been made by George Charron, manager of the local office of the National Em- ployment Service. "I can forsee the labor and work situation busting wide open in April," said Mr. Charron in an in- terview, His forecast made last November that there would be little if any unemployment in Oshawa and district during the winter came true. "Construction work kept right on, Factories were hiring in Jan- uary and the entire employment picture has been excellent during the critical months. Dozens of big projects and scores of new homes are planned and they will all need men within a short time." Actual figures for people work- less in the extensive area of Dur- ham, Ontario and York covers" | by the local office do not, acco: {ing to Mr. Charron, give a truc picture of the present situation. There are 2,021 people on the register but many of them are transients who travel from office to office putting down their names in the hope of finding a good-pay- ing factory job. Also on the list are many people who are receiv. ing supplementary unemployment benefits which continue until April 15 when a correct number of eople actually out of work will e available. "There is no doubt that we will be hanging out 'men wanted" signs. And that 1s a nice position to be in," was Mr. Charron's happy forecast. RESTS IN PEACE (Continued from Page 1) the gates of Marlborough House the simple 12-word bulletin which told of the Queen's death: "While sleeping peacefully Queen Mary died at twenty minutes past ten o'clock." Men doffed their hats as they passed the silent guardsman on duty. Then they moved on. For thousands of elderly Britons it was the end of an era. The last link with the Victorian Age which Queen Mary personified to the end had passed. $ Through the night and day tele- grams of sympathy poured into London from all parts of the world. Kings, statesmen and diplomats sent their condolences, and there were simple messages from folk in the Commonwealth who mourned the passing of the oldest member of their Royal Family. Flags flew at half-staff from all public buildings, churches and chapels were open for early morn- ing workers to offer their prayers, and radio programs took on a sol- emn tone. Blinds still shrouded the window of the room where the Queen died at 10:20 p. m. Monday night. Her personal standard had been low- ered. It was outside this same brick house, little more than a year ago, that mourning crowds had seen the stately Queen standing erect | while the funeral cortege of her son, King George, passed in pro- cession. Today flags flew at half-staff through the land. Many men wore black ties. Prime Minister Winston Chur- chill gave the first news of the old Queen's death in the House of Commons Monday night, his voice rough In his throat, He moved a formal address of con- dolence to the Queen when the House of Commons reassembled today. Both Houses of Parliament then adjourned until Thursday as a mark of respect. A few cries of dismay from pub- lic galleries broke the quiet. Churchill told the Commons he would make an address of condol- ence to Queen Elizabeth today, then ask adjournment for the day "as an expression of our profound sorrow and respect." In Ottawa, Prime Minister St. Laurent announced the death to the Canadian House of Commons and it also adjourned. He termed the death "a personal sorrow for all Canadians." As Churchill spoke, a solemn attendant a few blocks away posted the fourth and last medical bul- letin of the day on the gates of Marlborough House. Edged. in black, it said simply: "While sleeping peacefully, Queen Mary died at twenty minutes past ten o'clock."

Free peoples the world over will mourn her' loss." Similar expressions from other chiefs of state poured in to her monarch-grand-daughter at Buck- ingham Palace. "She was like your own grand- mother," said one of the mourners, who crowded in silence about her stately Marlborough House resi. dence, where she died in London's foggy gloom. "Poor old soul--and she wanted so badly to see her grande crowned," murmured another. Though the Queen's decision was awaited, preparations for the Cor- onation went ahead today. Becaust of her age and health, Queen Mary had planned to watch the Coronat- fon oft -television. | . A period of official mourning will [be announced shortly, probably within 48 hours. It was expected to last a few weeks. Funeral arrangements were ex pected to be announced today. Men bared their heads and many women wept as the Queen's per- sonal standard was lowered slowly over her residence Tuesday night. Some had waited all through the anxious hours for the posting of the first medical bulletin, at 11:40 a. m. Tuesday, announcing Queen Mary had suffered a relapse. Her eldest and dearly-loved son, the Duke of Windsor, had been summoned urgently by the doctors for his third call of the day. He arrived at his mother's silk- shrouded bed just nine minutes |after she died. Forty-five minutes later, grey land drawn, he left. The Duke had {hurried to London from a Florida | vacation two weeks ago. Earlier Tuesday three genera- tions of the Royal Family. had called to pay their last respects in the darkened room filled with flowers and mementos of other years. The old Queen was barely con- scious when the grand-daughter she helped train for the throne, Eliz- abeth II, stepped quietly to the bedside, But she recognized the Queen, turned her face and smiled, Three of the old Queen's six chil- dren survive her--Windsor, the Princess -Royal Mary, Dowager Countess of Harewood, and the Duke of Gloucester. She is survived also by nine | grandchildren. | The first electric street railwav lin the United States was opened at | Baltimore, Md., in 1885.
