H. Bell, Author of "Take Me Back to Birdseye Centre" All Ontario will soon be singing "Take me back to Birdseye Center," the latest composition of Nelson H. Bell, orchestra leader of the New Mar- tin theatre. This tuneful song, the latest product of Mr, Bell's genius, is now in the printer's hands at Toronto. The cover design will show one of Frise's well known sketches of the famous little village that gave the re- doubtable "Pig Skin" Peters to fame --and almost the eels, according to "inside" reports from the recent ma- rathon swim staged by the Canadian National Exhibition. Frise, Canada's most famous car- toonist probably, is said to have been delighted with Mr. Bell's song as his furnishing of its cover design shows most clearly.

ROAD PAST Move Started at Meeting of Water Cammission -- To Enter Into Negotiations for Securing a Right-of-Way from Owners of Property Concerned WOULD BE BIG DEVELOPMENT With Opening of New Route Oshawa Would Be Con- nected With Lake Front from Two Directions -- Would Relieve Traffic in Summer Opening up of a new route to Lake- view Park by extending the road which runs in front of the Pavilion directly westward for one mile to Park Road was initiated at yesterday after- noon's meeting of the Water Commis- sion at the suggestion of Chairman G, D. Conant. The plan was heartily favored by Mayor Preston and other members present. Mr. Conant, with the city engineer, were empowered to enter into negotiations with the two property owners concerned with a view to securing right-of-way. Within a few years, an eight mile circuit of paved highways may connect Oshawa with the Lake Front from two directions. On one the motorist would proceed westerly on King Street to Park Road, then south to Lakeview Park Drive to the park. On the other, south on Simcoe street, through the proposed new subway under the C.N.R. tracks and on a continuation of the pavement to the present entrance to the park. During special events at the park such as the annual General Motors nienic, the opening up of Lakeview Park drive - throueh to - Park road would greatly facilitate motor traffic. For that and similar days the line of vehicles could be kept moving in one direction, thus avoiding many delays.

The film, at a special showing for newspapermen today, told graphically the story of the champion's difficulty in the seventh round of his bout with Jack Dempsey. The slow-motion pictures showed that Tunney hit the floor, after a ter- rific series of lefts and rights to the jaw, with his eyes closed. Dempsey stepped nto the corner immediately behind the champion's head, and the referee did mot start counting until he had stepped around the fallen man, up to Dempsey and motioned him to his own corner. By the time the referee returned to Tunney and started the count, the champion's eves were beginning to blink. He raised himself pant way from the floor, holding with his left hand to the ropes and with a vacant stave over his counténance.

N. R. tracks at the Simeoe Street South intersection. Today's news columns carry the text of the perition form, and already numbers of Oshawa's prominent citizens have given their signatures as evidence of earnest support. Citizens in general are urged to sign the petition, and in doing so feel that they are participating in an effort that cannot help but make Oshawa a greater city in population and wealth, and a better city in which to live and prosper. This petition, it should be pointed out, is designed chiefly to strengthen the position of the Oshawa City Council in pro- ceeding with the effort to which they have already set their hands. A committee consisting of Aldermen Swanson, Morris, Schell, and Harman, with City Engineer Smith and Mayor Preston by virtue of office, were appointed at the recent Council meeting to investigate and report. The Council, however, cannot build the subway without the backing of Public Opinion. With the City behind them, the building of the subway is assured. 1100 CHILDREN CARED FOR AT LAKE COTTAGE Splendid Results Mark Red Cross Society's Efforts CLOSES TODAY Every Child + at Cottage Showed Increased Weight During' Stay The Red Cross Cotlage at Lakeview Park closed its doors today after # deason marked hy most splendid re sults, One hundred children were cared for there since the new cottege was opened on June 15, The majority spent two weeks by the lakeside, but not a few spent three, five, six, and 10. weeks.
