Melville Pair Gaim Idea of Military Tank

>~ (Canadian Press)

-MELVILLE, Sash, Oct. 12—Gath- bring war clouds across the face of

“Europe have brought old soldiers

. together in every part of the Dom-

inion to hark back to the “good old days" and discuss just what chang- es will be found in the next con- flict. _ All agree that the old "footrlog- ger," or heavily loaded infantryman will still bear the major share of modern battle, with the assistance of "more and better tanks." And the subject of tanks leads t0 a topic of unusual interest.

Veterans recall that credit for the invention of the army tank was claimed by two Melville garagemen -—E. J. "Sliorty” Rose. and H. Bail- ey. The prototype of the decisive steel monster that changed battle tactics in the Great War at one time coughed and strained around a field on the outskirts of Melville. iimde: the amazed eye 0f a privi- leged number of spectators.

Near the end oi’ 1914, veterans rtate, Rose and Bailey were to be seen coming to and iirom thcir gur- age with thoughtful expressions, carrying bolts and other bits of metal that puzzled onlookers. They defused to answer questions and kept their secret to themselves. The humble garage was the scene of feverish nocturnal uctivity, andout of their labors grew a weird steel

,mon,ster intended to enable a man to. approach enemy lines despite rifle and machine-gun fire. 1t also dealt death and destruction to, the terror-stricken enemy.“

" The pair, after stibcessfully ex- perimenting with their huge steel "baby," submitted plans to the War Ofllfe. Authorities were said to h:

‘ interested, but the plans. like hun- ‘(fret-ls of others. were pigeon-holed for future reference.

' ' Then the men left Melville. B- ‘servicc men add that, after the bat- tlc oi the Somme. when tanks were first successfully used, the invent- ors. once more attracted attention by-flling a claim at the War Ofllcc regarding the use of their invention.

~But the outcome was never known, ct least officially. whether the claim was recognised i: u deep rec- ret hidden away in the archive: oi the war Omce. Rose and Bailey also disappeared and lc-‘t n0 wilrd of the fate of their plans.

Professor William Rowan of thc University of Alberta, known in the scientific world for his study of the migratory habits of birds. is carrying on a new experiment with crows.

A shipment of seventy-five crows will be sent to Winnipeg later this week, and somewhere west of Manitoba! Capital, far from famil- iar landmarlu, the birds will be re- leased.

Before leaving here, the birds will be subject to the administrations of a body-finishing expert in a lo- cal automobile plant. Each crow will gct the stern-feather coating or yellow. Also, each bird will be banded.

The regular season for the mi- gration of crows is over and the professor hopes to determine if the birds released in Manitoba will, like the early starters, wing their way to warmer souihem climates for the winter.

Knhniirmrfrrtrsni" W” START cunnuvc COUNTRY DANCE

(By Josrph Dcnnigan, Canadian Press Correspondent)

DUBLIN, Oct. 12—Drnstic meas- ures to control public dance halls and abolish nil-night dances, a long established feature of Irish rural life. are now being applied throughout the Free Slate-

Fincllng appeals to their flocks to shun rural dance halls fell on deaf cars, the Roman Catholic clergy last year carried the griev- ance to President dc Valerifs gov- ernment and prssentsd a formid- able dossier detailing: the havoc al- leged to have been played with the morals of the country folk by un- supcrviscd dance resorts and by what are known as “motor hawks“!

Church authoriths hold there resorts mainly to bl1me for the al- arming increase of illegitimate births in the Free State and for the spread oi immorality in coun- try districts. The government bowed to the sform raised by the Church and the Dail passed the Public Dance Halls Act.

This m-casuro puts the rural dance hall almost on the same plane ns the liquor shop by requir- ing owners to procure annual ll- cences from the District Courts. Justices of the District Courts are invested with powers to attach such conditions to the granting oi licences as they may consider proper. Applications for licences in preparation for the coming winter are now being dealt wifh by thc courts and in nearly all cases, the clergy are appearing to risk for severe restrictions if not to oppose altogether.

In County Donegal, the justice has granted licenses only on the conditions that “strangers? or per- sons from outside a three-mile radius oi the halls may not be ad- mitted and that motor cars may not be parked in the vicinity of the resort. He has‘ also stipulated that one-third of the program shall be allotted to the native Irish dances.

In County Waterford. the bishop oi the diocese opposed the granting of any licences for dance halls pro- POSIHK t0 open on Sunday nights. The objection was over-ruled by the court but the licences were made conditional on Sunday night dances concluding at 11 p.m.

As a general rule, throughout the Free State, liquor and liquored pat- rons must not be allowed in the halls; dances must be over at 11 p.m.. except on four nights of the year when they may continue until 2 a.m., and married women must be present to supervise the dancing. Unlimited freedom of inspection for the police at all times is being granted and two Justices have di- rected that an area within a radius of 400 yards of the halls must bo brightly illuminated.

Bitter oppositions to the new re- strlctions is being expressed in rural areas where the village dance hail once a week was often the only means of breaking the mon- 000i!!-

The minutes or the last annual session were read by the Secretary, Rev. R. Henrlcy Btavert and were adopted as read. The President. Rev. J. M. McLtod then gave this address.

Af.cr a rezume of the Temper- ance situation in the Province, he closed his address as follows:

As Temperance Workers, there are three things we should keep beore us: Legislation, Organiza- tion and Education.

(a) Leglsation: we have already a gccd Tempzrance or. Prohibition Law. It would be intezcsting to trace the events that led to the passing of this Law. Let us stand by it, though we are far from gebting 100 pcr cent enforcement. We are told again and again that we cannot make people sober by legi lation. But if people cannot be made sobe: by Act; of Parlia- mfint. they can p: grzatly helped, yes. helped to live soberly and de- cently and resprctably.

We know there is a percentage

Lcurbed by raw. We have scriptural authority for saying that ‘The law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedicnt for the ungcdly and rinners, etc."

(b) Qganization: We are fairly well organiz;d along Trmpercnce lines. We should give every en- couragement to the sans of Tem- perance in o;k of organizing

sentiment. The advocates of Govtrnmcn comm in Nova scoiia a few years ago said: “It (GiT/ernment Control) is the bee: method of regulating the liquor traffic and promoting _true Temperance." Dr. H. R. Grant, Genezal Btcretary o.‘ the Social Service Council and Temperance Al‘iance, N.S., who knows the tem- pirance situation in that Province thoroughly rays: "Thousands who were dcceivrd by the propaganda of the Temperance Associaiian, now know that the experience of Nova Scotia, undo." four years of Govem- ment talc (now five years) demon- strates that the system as a Tem- perance mecuuro, and from a moral, social and economic standpoint is an unmitigated farce."

(c) Education: This is what we must stress. It is here probably we have fallen down. The home, the school, and the church, cm do much along the 1'ne of Temper- ance Education.

The churches must give more at- tention to’ Temperance Education if wc are to hold aloft the banner of prohibition successfully.

It is written: "Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee. that it might be displayed bezause or the truth." May we have the courage and the grace to display our banner because we have the truth on our lids

"Lift high ths royal banne:

1t moat not mdcr ion

Your courage risc with danger And strength to strength oppose."

The thanks 0f the Adoration was extended to Mr. Iclood for

MQVIIIMIDiIln snoiwct:

the Committee on Resolutions pre- sented to the meeting the fol- lowing resolutions.

Til Resolved: That ythe Temper- ance Federation express its appre- ciation of whatever success the R.C.M.P. have achieved in the cn- forcement of the Prohibition Act, but it believes that a better en- forcement is possible and necessary. and it is convinced that this can- not be brought about except as the personell of the force is in practi- cal sympathy with the enforcement of the law.

(2) That we express our unchang- ed conviction that the Prohibition Law is the best method yet found for the controflng of the liquor traffic.

We, therefore, demand of our Government in the name of the people of the Province that a deaf ear be turned to every suggestion made by those who are interested in making a chance in the law, and who cculd wish to bring in some form oi Government sale.

(3) That a strong committee be appointed to present these resolu- tions to the Governor at the first opportunity and in every possible way, to impress our attitude upon the Government. and that this committee appointed serve as a permanent committee for the Fed- eration throughzut the year.

(4) That this permanent commit-

oi lawless people. who need to be u, u, be instructed to take mm

serious consideration the possibil- ity of as: urlng the public that more definite and practical use will be made of the book entitled “Tem- perance and Life," placed on the ichtrol curriculum; and further to consider methods of advancing Temperance Education among tho children and young people in every possib‘e way.

(5) That the Federation express its sincere appreciation of the

k of the President, Rev. J. M. Mo v and of the other officers of the ration during the past year.

(d) That. the permanent commit- tee take into consideration the number of scrips which are being issued by certain coc.or:. ihr:u3h- out the Province.

(7) That we urgently request all cf the day rehool teacher; to make the best poscible use or the study book entitled "T:mperanco' and Life" and that in order to assure the study o.‘ it, several questions be placed on the entrance examin- ation papers to Prince of Wales College.

(B) That an appeal be made to the pub‘ic to heartily co-uperate with the officers of the law in its enforcement, and that this appeal be made through the press. and the pulpit-this latter being sought by requesting the heads oi our church organizations to bring thc matter before their clergy. After some discussion all of these resolu- tions were adopted uuunlmOlllly.

It was agreed to appoint the per- manent committee already referred to,-in several of the rsolutlons lust passed. . .
