EMMERSON oh OBITUARY Joseph Arthur Gerrow The funeral of Joseph Arthur Ger- row was held on Monday, of last week in his native town of Port Perry. A resident of Medicine Hat, Alberta, the deceased died*at Duluth, Minn, as the result 'of injuries" received in a motor ear accident on June 80th, while | enroute east to visit Kis relatives and friends "in Oshawa, Port Perry and Scugog. "Mr, Gérrow was the son of the late -| John Gerrow, of Scugog, and was well known in Port Perry and Oshawa. He was ir his 69th year and had spent the early part of his life in business as a barber in the town of Port Perry. The deceased moved to" Medicine Hat twenty-one years ago and was coming east with his' family when the un- fortunate motor accident occurred at Duluth, Minn. Mr, Gerrow received fatal injuries and death came a week later .on July 7th. The body was brought east for burial and the fun- eral was held from the home of his sister, Mrs. W. F. Nott, Port Perry. Rev. Mr. Elford of Scugog, and Rev. Mr. Smith, of Port Perry, were in charge of the service. Interment was | made in the Pine Grove Cemetery. Besides his sorrowing wife, there are left to mourn the sudden bereave- ment two daughters, Phyllis and Iva, and one son, Jack. These immediate members of the family were unable to be present at the funeral, not hav- ing recovered from their own injuries and still in the Duluth Hospital, Other survivors are five sisters: Mrs, W. F. Nott, Port Perry; Mrs. A. Prentice, Scugog; Mrs, C: L. Fralick, Scugog; Mrs. -W. Clarke, Mariposa; Mrs. A. VanNest, Drumheller, Alta., as well as five brothers: O. A. Gerrow, Oshawa; Wilfred Gerrow, Columbus, Ohio; Frank, Scugog; and Charles and Wil- son, of Reach Township. * Last report from Mrs. Jos. Gerrow, was to the effect that she had re- covered sufficiently to leave the hos- pital, at Duluth. . : Te tp > >- FIRST RESOLUTION: OF. LOCAL ORGANIZATION "ADVOCATES SOCIALISM The Oshawa C.C.F. Club, following the regular business of final organiza- tion transacted at a very well attend- ed meeting held last night in the Genosha Hotel, passed a resolution demanding "the immediate 'release of all political prisoners in Canada" and asking the national convention of the Federation to adopt a policy advocat- ing "complete nationalization and socialization' of our entire monetary structure." The meeting was marked by heated debate, it appearing at one time that adjournment without organization be- ing completed was almost inescapable owing to the dissatisfaction among members of the executive committee. A section of the: meeting was also, apparently, rather "advanced" in com- munistic ideas, this being evidenced by the action of this minority when 'the Union Jack, which decorated the platform, slipped and fell to the floor. When this incident occurred a small minority , cheered and laughed but officials of the organization replaced the flag and the business of the meet- ing proceeded. 'The chair' was occupied during the election of permanent officers by A. | Tiernay, and heated argument ensued when the president' of the existing temporary organization, Ed. Cheet- ham, introduced a slate of officers for the approval of the meeting. J.oNicholls and A. Douglas,' mem- | bers of the temporary executive, both contended that they and many of the fellow members had not been notified of this proposed slate, and had been given no opportunity 'of considering | it. Mr. Cheetham explained, however, that it was physically impossible to notify everyone of the steps being taken, and emphasized the fact that music, was--enjoyed indoors, nominations for office were still open. "This slate is only a suggestion," said Mr. Cheetham, Officers Elected. The suggested slate was, however, practically adopted in full, Harry M. Mallett being elected President of the permanent organization. The complete slate of elected last night is as follows: President--Harry M, Mallett. Vice-President--Ed. Cheetham. Secretary--C, H, Millard. Treasurer--R. G. Bird. officers Executive Committee--F., M, Dafoe,' A. Douglas, A. Truman, A. Broad and W. Connor, Following the election the meeting was addressed at some length by Ed.! Cheetman, who re-iterated his views upon economic and political problems ag they affect Canada.

I. Millard,-- "That the following be addressed to the Ontario Provincial. Association, C.C.F.: "Whereas we: are not prepared to send a delegate to the National Con- vention at Regina, that you.convey to that body greetings from this Club in the Motor City of Canada,--and.-- "Whereas the present capitalistic system has utterly failed to function for the common good, that we heartily endorse the advent of a new political body known as the C.C.F, to Bring into béing by cdustitutional methods, a new social order based on the prin- ciple of supplying human need rather than private gain,--and,-- "Whereas the present private con- trol of credit and currency appears to be largely responsible for present de- pression conditions, that we ask the Convention to adopt complete nation- alization and socialization of our en- tire monetary structure as the policy of the C.C.F.,--and,-- , "Whereas general and local ditions are so acute and political ac- tion so urgent, that the Convention make its platform known to the group comprising the Federation as quickly as possible, that organization work in the ridings may be completed. "We also demand the immediate release of all political prisoners in Canada." con- -- Oshawa Times. ----------i.
