(Oshawa Times) - ~ Although on holidays at his sum- mer home at Port Ryerse, Rev. A. D. Robb, minister of St. Andrew's United Church, has been doing some unusual work on behalf of his congregation. In collaboration with M. M. Hood, who was on holidays within three miles of Mr. Robb's cottage, a. 'historical pageant, to he presented as one of the features of the centennial of the founding of St. Andrew's United Church this fall, has been completely written, After much research work, the writing was done by. the two authors of the pageant while on their holidays, and the manuscript is now ready for its final revision, "The pageant consists of thirteen episodes and sixteen scenes, and re- views the whole history of the church, as well as including some of the high lights of Canadian and Empire history during the last one hundred years. When My. Robb returns from his holi- days at the end of August, the final revisions will be made, and the task of selecting the large cast of char- acters for the pageant will be under- takn. It is expected that it will be produced towards the latter end of October, During that month also, there will be four Sundays of special services in connection with the 100th anniver= sary of the church, which was founded by the late Dr. Thornton in the year 1833, and was at that time the Pres- byterian Church for the whole of Whitby township and the surrounding area. Some, distinguished ministers the United and Presbyterian Churches are to take part in these special anniversary services, 'and special committees have been at work for some time preparing the plans. ~~Oshawa Times Combined specifications and form 'of tender NAME SHERIFF OF COUNTY SOON been made, the appointment of James Blanchard, M.P.P,. for North Ontario,' as sheriff of Ontario County, is ex- in the know politically here believe that the announcement of the appoint- ment will be forthcoming soon. The office: of sheriff of Ontario County has been.vacant for two years. Miss Mary Brawley has been carrying on since the retirement of Sheriff J. F. Paxton, but the latter's name is still used as the actual incumbent of the office, and when courts are in session the sheriff comes to Whitby to perform the official duties that were his for over 40 years, Other" names have from time to time these artificial 'water channels, pected to -be made very shortly. Those The Welland Ship Canal This situation called attention at the beginning of the Twentieth Century Whilé no official announcement has to the necessity of many further canal | improvements being made to accom- modate the shipping that would use The construction of the Fourth Welland Canal as a Ship Canal capable of ac- commodating the largest of the Great Lakes freighters, as well as large ocean freight carriers, was therefore begun by the Dominion of Canada in 1913. The route of the Welland Ship Ship Canal departs very radically from that of the previous canals, par- ticularly on the lower Lake Ontario level of the peninsula. It leaves Lake Ontario at a point about four miles east of Port Dalhousie, the northern terminus of 'the previous: canals, and been mentioned for this post, but it Mr. 'Blanchard whose name has been most prominently mentioned for it. But for the fact that the government did not wish to create a vacancy in the legislature and hold a by-election is generally agreed that it will go to! follows, in practically a straight line, due south along the valley of the Ten Mile Creek to the foot of Niagara Escarpment at Thorold, This elign- ment is maintained in the ascent of the escarpment itself, although the route of the previous canal is followed in North Ontario, the appointment would probahly have-heen made some time ago. With a general election likely in the near future, that difficulty is removed, and announcement of Mr, Blanchard's appoinfment is expected soon, --Oshawa Times The Welland Canal (Continued from front page) from the top of the escar pment to Port "Colborne in a general way." All of the sharp bends of the previous canals are eliminated and it might reasonably be said that the Welland Ship Canal fol- lows a straight line north and south course across the peninsula between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. As no harbguir existed on Lake On- tario at the mouth of Ten Mile Creek, now the northern terminus of the Wel- land Ship Canal, an artificial harbour, Port Weller, was one of the necessities of construction. . By means of a 1842. It was completed and the canal with the construction of the Port Maitland branch, opened up a new and shorter route to Lake Erie. The sec- 'tion of the canal between the feeder junction (Welland) and Port Colborne was then enlarged for 9-foot naviga- tion and opened for navigation in 1850, This canal between Thorold and Port Colborne remained in operation after. the third canal was completed, but since 1915 has been used only for power purposes. In: 1853 the naviga- tion depth was increased to 10 feet by raising the banks and the walls of the locks, but it was not until 1881 that the canal was actually fed from Lake Erie at Port Colborne, The original cost of construction in- cluding the first 'enlargement or the total expenditure prior to Confedera- tion--the 1st July, 1867--was $7/638,- 239. ' r The Third Canal ing on general conditions advised the further enlargement of the Welland Canal and it was decided to undertake extensive alterations. Locks were called for 270 feet long, 45 feet wide, and having a 12-foot depth of water, 'This depth of water was later in- creastd to 14 feet, but it was not until 1887 'that this depth of water was available throughout the whole canal. Even before this enlargement was completed vessels were being built on the "upper lakes too 'large to pass through the locks. The third Welland Canal left Lake Ontario at Port Dalhousie and. climbed the escarpment east:of the second or old canal to Allanburg. From Allan- burg to Port Colborne it followed the route of the second canal, Its struc- tures were the finest examples of the stone masonry and its 26 locks have now joined with those of the second canal as mute evidences of the stone- mason's skill, In 1901 the total tonnage passed 209 tons. By 1914 this had increased to 3,860,969 tons, and in 1928, 7,439,- 617 tons of water-borne freight passed through the. Welland Canal on its' '| movement to and from the markets of the world. All of this freight was carried by vessels limited in length to 266 feet and to a breadth not ex- ceeding 44 feet. The growth in' shipping on the Great Lakes has at all times maintained pace with thé demand for water transport- ation, but this growth has been entire- ly out-of proportion with the naviga- tion facilities provided by Lake Erie to tidewater on the St. Lawrence by way of the Welland Canal -and St. wrence Canals. The tremendous growth of the east- ern movement of grain and iron ore and the western movement of coal necessitated the construction of ves- sels of much larger dimensions than the limiting dimensions of the Wel- land and St. Lawrence Canals. Als ready vessels up to 638 feet in length with a beam of 70 feet.and a load draught of over 20 feet are in service, but all of these larger vessels have been confined in their movements be- tween the Head of the Lakes and the Harbours of Lake Erie, where trans- fer of cargo to rail or smaller became necessary. A was opened in 1845, This, together | In 1871 a canal commission report standard double-track railway extend- ing from Lake Ontario south for seven miles or more along the route of the canal, the surplus excavation of this northern division of the work was disposed of in the form of two em- bankments, projected north from the shoreline into Lake Ontario. At their outer and inner end of these embank- ments are outlined by yeinforced con- crete cribs forming a 400-foot wide entrance to the new harbour, one and one-half miles from the original shore. line, and several thousand feet deep water dockage in the inner énd of the harbour. Surplus rock excavation distributed along-the exterior of these two embankments preserves them from the erosion of the lake storms. At extreme low stages the difference in level between Lake Ontario and Lake Erie is 325% feet and inthe Ship Canal this difference in level is overcome by seven locks, each having the same 46%-foot lift.. All these locks are the same' demensions and provide -a usable length of 820 feet, a usable width of 79 feet, with 30 feet of water over their sills, While a minimum of 30 feet of water is provided -at all permanent structures, only 20 feet is presently available at low water level in the Upper Lakes harbours and channels, and for the time being the Ship Canal reaches between locks struc- tures are excavated to a minimum of 25 feet only. When the future de- mands of shipping nécessitate, this interfering in any way with naviga- tion, So, after a period of over 100 years of canal construction across tho Niagara Peninsula, it' would appear that a waterway Is now 'provided which is adequate not only to the de- mands of to-day, but of those that may be made upon it for many years to come. through the Welland Canal was 620,- The first three locks are situated in the first seven miles of the canal. These three locks elevafe navigation 139% feet above Lake Ontario level -to the foot" of the Niagara Escarp- ment. The climb up the face of the escarpment, is made by means. of four locks of equal lift. Three of these locks are superimposed -im- 'mediately one above the other, so that the distance is slightly over one-half mile, From the Toad of lock 7, at Thorold across the remainder of the peninsula the water is practically at Lake Erie Level. On Lake Erie, being a vast expanse of shoal water, the water level is subject to rapid varia- tion caused by wind direction, and dif. ferences in leyel as great as 11 feet have 'been.observed at Port Colborne-- the result of a change in wind direc- tion from east to west. Construction and Equipment: Actual construction of the Welland Ship Canal was started in the fall of 1913. In 1916 the work had to be suspended bn account of the' war. Construction 'was again resumed in 1919, with the peak of activities in 1927, when the northérn part of: the work was being carried on. + With the advance of the general construction contracts, it became pos- sible to preceed with the manufacture and - installation of the operating gh squipment of the structures, Thirty bs § an can bf increased to 30 feet by the| impl ess of dredging the reaches foY the additional 6-foot depth without i gate leaves, each over 82 feet high = = 48 feet long and 6 feet thick each required for the lower gates of seven locks, 'where as well, those for the gate yard, twenty-two upper gates, 36% feet high, 48 feet long and each weighing about 200 tons were also required. In addition, 12 gates of an intermediate sizé}" rn]: feet high, 48 feet long, also of all steel construction, were provided for the gates of the guard lock at Port Col- borne, and the guard gate structure immediatély south of Lock 7 in| Thorold.

REVEALS AIM FOR NATION. $5 The Co-operative ' Commonwealth Federation's plan for its Dominion of Canada and how it aims to achieve reforms was made public at the Regina meeting. : Under the new regime which the organization hopes to establish after the next Federal election, when it will seek governmental power, banking and insurance would become socialized and gradually socialization 'would he extended to industry. First of the industries to come under public control would be transportation, communica- tion and electric power production; to - be followed by mining, pulp and paper, < distribution of milk, bread, coal and . gasoline. New policies for foreign trade and. external affairs would be eatablished - and the system of taxation would be radically altered, Throughout it all was sounded a war on capitalism with the declaration "No O.C.F. .Govern- ment will rest content until it has eradicated capitalism} "In the type of economy that we envisage," declared ' the manifesto, "the need of taxation, a8 we now un- derstand it, will have largely disap- pear. It will nevertheless be 'essential during the transition" period, to use the taxing powers along with other methods, as a mea nmi for providing for the socialization of industry and for extending the bertefits. of increased segial services. J ra "At the present - time capitalist government in Canada raise a large proportion of their revenue from such ' levies as customs duties and sales taxes, the main burden of which falls upon articles of general consumption, we propose a drastic extension of: in- coftie, , corporation and inheritance taxes, steeply graduated according. to ability to pay.
