DROWNED AT BOWMANVILLE A young man, Reginald Fry, of Oshawa, was drowned at Bowmanville. Reginald was well known on Scugog| Island, being a frequent visitor with his relatives, Mr. and Mre. T. Red- man, The following account of -the Daily Times. The unfortunate lad drove to the afternoon, accompanied by two chums, Ted and Ralph Bell, where they were joined by another friend, Frank Blunt of 'Bowmanville, the sad tragedy oc- curring while the three were dis- porting themselves in the water. They were swimming from the pier rocks a few hundred feet away when Fry, according to the story told by his companions, seeing a big wave approaching dived headlong into it. The other boys followed his example but, while Reginald was caught in the under tow, and dragged beneath the water, came to no mishap. His chums continued their swim out to the rocks without missing their companion until after their arrival, when they immediately returned to the spot where they had dived beneath the waves and commenced a frantic search. " Unable to find any trace of the missing lad an alarm was given and Fred Depew, well-known Bowmanville fisherman, informed the police, while the lad's friends continued" their ef- orts. The under tow was very strong, and it was with the greatest difficulty that even very strong swimmers were able to return to the surface while diving. Chief of Police Venton immediately sent to Oshawa for grappling irons and for four hours the search was kept up, The lad's father in Oshawa it) | seNsaTIONAL NEW RADIO ON | since the introduction of electric re- | displayed in Port Perry stores.

An innovation in Radio the greatest ceivers, has made its appearance in Port Perry. : Today, for the first time the new Westinghouse Columaire "8" is being Columaire "8" is the culmination of research and experiment on the part of Westinghouse engineers seeking to create the same beautiful cadence and resonance. For centuries it has been known to designers of musieal instru- ments that a column of air vibrating within a musical instrument itself energizes in radio as the pipe organ, harp, ete., and develops the full range of harmonies which gives to music its fascination and enjoyment. For years the principal has been applied to the pipe organ, 'cello, harp and all other fine musical instruments, but it re- mains for the Pioneers of Radio to apply it to the Radio Receiver bring- ing perfection heretofore deemed im- possible. The Columaire naturally is a sur- prise gven before it is heard, as it requires merely a square foot of floor space. It is the final break from the phonograph type of cabinet. The speaker, dial and controls are no longer a conspicuous part of the cab- inet. Instead, an electric clock lends its utility to this latest radio marvel.
