The good loser is an unsung hero because, probably, there are no words to describe the fine cifotion of having done one's level best but come short of the finish line.. In thé Tri-Collegiate competition, however, there is one regrettable lack which should be mentioned hére, The girls haven't enough show for honours: There is a whisper about that both Whitby and Bowmanville fear develop- ment along this line because the Oshawa Col- leglate has a gymnasium, Logic would seem to answer that Oshawa boys have as much right in that gym as the girls, yet Whitby has won the Bassett trophy twice, In the interest of this truly splendid athletic partnefship of competition, can't some way be found to give girls' field day athletics a better chance? * SHIELDS HIS FAMILY A pumpman employed by the Canadian Na- tional Railways died on Sunday at Spruce Lake, Bask., following an automobile accident, The account of his death states that "When this man saw that an accident was inevitable, he placed himself in such a position as to shield his wife and child whom he was taking to town, They were not injured." "In Yeading a simply stated story of heroism such as this, the hand instintively seeks a hat to remove as if in the presencé of something holy. This humble man's end merely repeats the oft-stated lesson of the Great War which whs the glory that dwells in the human heart, While most men with wives and little child- ren are not often called upon to die in their be- half, the family life of Canada gives unending witness that self-sacrifice is the inspiration of parenthood. Some declare that family life is not the sacred institution it used to be, Yet the words "home," "Mother" and "Father" come with the same loving grace from the lips of today's children as they did when the oldest of living citizens were young, OSHAWA"S CITY COUNCIL Despite the knowledge that men in public life get too abuse and that lack of appre- ciation for honest effort is, too frequently, keeping the higher type of citizenship from civic office, The Oshawa Daily Times feels a Site fearful about paying another tribute to the aldermanic body of 1927, for this sort of thing is almost getting monotonous, Closing a good year's work, local Council inéetings are thore and more marked with the things philosophers embody in their dreams of Utopia. 1t isn't, moreover, the fact that the civie elections are hardly three months away. The #ldermen, now and then, seem to remam- ber that fact at their meetings, and for a time, constituents. No one can object to that. But, a few months later, they are back at the busi- ness of building a better city. The recent Council session saw definite steps made towards establishing residential areas in Oshawa. The spirit of the new age had a inning in endorsement of Captain plan to map the city, photographically, the air. Notwithstanding the fact that Oshawa's building inspection office can authorize over $80,000 of new building one day past the middle of October, Oshawa can very well take a little, but just a little, of economics' bitter tonic of ~ pessimism. Over<optimism seems to affect the liver of the Wuman spirit and causes specks and 'other floating things--including castles--- before the eyes. That is to say, Oshawa needs to gaze at its future with clear eyes, sanely. The rose col- ored glass is just as bad for sound develop- ment as the blue outlook. Midway Hes clarity, and that is what Oshawa has had, has now, and must have unless it wants to venture out into that morass which is over-extension, Over-extension whether in a city or a busi- ness begins, first, in somebody's head, The . swelled head may not be fat but it acts that way. FARM LIFE IS DIFFERENT The farmer knows that life in the country has not always been the idyllic existence coun- try-hungry city folks have pictured it. Only the "new farmer" cannot remember the struggl against nature and the days of sun- up to sun-down toil once the lot of the men and women on the farm, Themodern farm is as unlikke its antecedents as the modern fac- tory is unlike its prototype and as the modern city home is unlike the hom of two decades ago. On the farm today are found the automobile, tractor, telephone, electric lights and power, milking machines, harvesting and planting machinery performing several operations si- multaneously, the radio, the household com- forts and conveniences of the city home ahd even leisure and recreation, The prodigal son wouldn't know the old farm if he returned to- day after a nabsence of two decades, True it is that some farmers still employ primitive methods of agriculture and refuse or are unable to emancipate themselves from their slavery to the soil by adopting labour-saving devices, And it is just as true that agricul- turists as a class have been slow to adopt modern methods, The time is not long past when "newfangled notions" were exceedingly distrusted on the farm, The "old way" was good enough for the sons when they succeeded to the manage- ment of the farm, It was not obstinacy which caused good farmers to scoff at scientific methods in those days. The best of farmers sincerely believed they could get out of the soil only what the sofl yielded of its own voli- tion, The change on the farm has been nothing short of revolutionary and the revolutionists have been the men and women who for genera- tions had stubbornly resisted change and im- peded progress, WINTER IN THE OFFING Having centred on the outdoors for some time, one's thoughts now turn housewards. It is very comforting to have a shelter when the autumn evenings turn cool and sitting on the porch has beccme a lonely pastime. But right now the indoors does not extend the welcome that might be expected of it, for a chill stalks through the rooms and they do not warm up until midday, and then only for a few hours, The solution lies, of course, in the cellar, and it is time to think of coal bins and bills, of furnace repairs, and of coal heaving and ash disposal, Winter stands in the offing. It will not be long until service stations will be advertising anti-freeze mixtures, hardware stores will be displaying snow shovels and window-stripping, 'and fur coats and ulsters will make their an- nual debut. Right now one's thoughts turn to new furni- ture to make the living room and the library more comfortable and cozy for the long winter months, to radios, phonograph and other musical instuments that will entertain the family circle when nights are long and cool, to books that will make the dreary hours fly, and to evening classes intended for adults. Summer, with its bright and balmy days and warm nights, will be missed, but perfect autumn days, the fruits of the harvest, mince and pumpkin pies and cozy fireside evenings will partly compensate ' mah for the loss of pleasurés of summer. It is time to store away the swimming suit, baseball and picnic accessories and dust off the football, sled and old armehair. Father will have to step in and pinch hit Aldertian D. A. A. J. Swanson! to Study Pure Food | Bylaws | 'On informal request from mem- bers of the City Council committees, i Ald, D.AJ. Swanson has taken the | mattér of regulating restaurants in | Oshawa under consideration, and will make a report on the matter | {at the next Council meeting. He | has obtained copies of the restau- «rant and pure food by-laws in force iin London, Hamilton, Ottawa, and | st. Catharifies, and from these va- rious measures together with a study of Oshawa's special needs and opportunities, it is undérstood that he will have definite proposals to lay before the aldermen at their next session, Me regulation introduced by the Board of Health has been given a first reading, but as it is considered rather drastic for Oshawa, the mat- ter is left in abeyance until Ald. Swanson is able to take the matter in hand, In this connection, Chairman John 'Gibson of the Oshawa Board of Health, in an interview, paid a high tribute to Dr, McKay, medical of- ficer of health, to whose efforts, he declared, the cleanly condition of the city in general is so largely due This, too, despite the existence of civic laws to arm officers with au- thority to enforce sanitation upon { the few who have no appreciation of the subject. | Mr, Gibson declared tat Oshawa did not, and perhaps could not, ap- préciaté Dr, McKay's far-seeing, ef- | ficient, and self-sacrificing work. The salary of the office held by Dr. McKay, he pointed out, was lost by him many times in a year by attend- ing to civi¢ business instead of his own practice, Benefits for which future genera- tions of Oshawa citizens will be grateful will be due to Dr, McKay's earnest labors on behalf of the pub. lie's realth, Mr, Gibson declares, DUTCH SETTLER. WAKES GOOD HERE One-time Hired Man Now Farms 1,200 Acres in *" Saskdtchewan VISITS OLD HOME F. Bootman, of Kinscoty, Landed Here 20 Years Ago, Penniless Montreal, Oct. 19.--Full of hope, | practically moneyless, with a scanty knowledge of English and with no! idea of the geography of the eountry or the conditions he would have to face, Franz Bootman, a Dutchman, landed at 'St. Johns, N.B.,, 20 years ago, confident that he ewas going to lay the foundations of a fortune. On Saturday night he landed in Canada again, from the White Star liner Albertie, after paying a visit to his old home in Burope, this time the | proud possessor of 1,200 acres of land and a conifortable bank balance, When he started for a place to set- tle, he was forced to leave his wife and their seven small children behind him in Holland. He drifted about the West for two or three years, working in all kinds of places in the three pro- vinces, and in that time managed to pick up a knowledge of the English language, as well as good practical | experience in farming. | He saved some money and rented a farm, near St. Alban, Saskatchewan. | He later moved to Kinseoty, near Lloydminster, Saskatchewan, where he bought a farin, sending for his wife and family to help him work it. They came out to him at once, and by de- veloping his own holdings, and at the same time working for other farmers, | he was able to build up a respectable bank account. Today he owns 1,200 acres of land, the best part of which is uhder cultivation, and from which he hopes to garner 6.500 bushels of wheat, 12,500 bushels of oats and 600 bushels of barley. HARD 10 SECURE JUROR IN CHICAGO » Fear of Gangland Retribution One of Main Re a Chicago, Oct. 19. -- Fear of gang- land retribution has been added to the natural reluctance of the average man to serve as a juror in Chicago and officials are finding it next to impos- sible to obtain 12 men among the city's millions who are willing to decide a murder case. This situation is strikingly illustrat- ed as one sits in the courtroom of Judge Stanley Klakowski and sees veniremen parading to the jury box and out again, all offering standard- ized excuses of imability to serve in one of the ot, Widely discussed gang murder cases gained repu a eas , Eained Wild a.

It ie probable that the groups will then disperse to their respective localities ~ to await the time when the freshly , 'created association will hold a con- vention of its own, The meeting in Jarvis Street Church today will practically com- plete the division between the war- ring factions, which became so Violent and apparently unbridgable "during the hectic sessions of the "original convention in the past week. It will further emphasize the avowed intention of the dissenting churches of turning their backs on. the group of which théy are still technically jan integral part, and setting out "along the road which alone, they believe, [can lead them to verity and salvation, Overtures for Peace Definite refusal to consider for at least another year, the challenges of {members of the opposing minority jto the convention they assail, to ! disqualify them in the same manner he association excluded Jarvis Street Church last Friday, was rec- ommended yesterday by the conven- , tions executive committee. The at- 'titude was endorsed by the dele- "gates. On Saturday, and frequently dur- ing the pas; two days, the opposi- | tion delegates introduced to the con- vention, both individually and in groups, and to the accompaniment of considerable disturbance, rezolu- their support of T. Shields, its pastor; their entire lack of sympathy with the attitude their refusal to share the financial burden ,of the convention and intention to form a separate association, and taunting the convention to oust them from membership, The convention's executive eom- mittee altogether ignored one reso- lution signed by dissenting dele: gates as individuals, on thé groumd that the document did not renreésent the authorized attitude of the churches represented. As ho the challenge signed by members of the dissenting "Regular Baptist Mis. sionary and Educational Society" and by other units, the convention "consider further its stand time of the next convention," The churche¢s involved were in- vited to determine their status and to co-operate with the convention as far as possible, and the hope ex- pressed the present abyss of discord might eventually he bridged over. Nevertheless, the militant minor- ity will go ahead with its plans for 2 separate association yet will re. (tain its representation in the con- veniioa which it refuses to counten- ance or support. Spokesmen for the faction yesterday said they were perfectly willing, if the convention did not see fit to oust them, to re- main in the convention and do what they could to impede its harmonious progress, "The real purpose of the chal- lenge," explained one delegate, "was not to get ourselves out of the con- vention, about which we are not particular one way or another. It was to force the convention to reveal the real grounds for the exclusion of Jarvis Street Church, at the root of which is this matter of doctrine. If they had excluded us they would have had to state their reasons and in so doing would have exposed their adherence to modernistic and per- versive doctrines." Expect 400 Delegates Between 300 and 400 delegates, representing 60 churches, will be re- pr at the i in the Jar- vis Street y Fro today, it is esti- mated by members of the minority. Reticence was observed as to the hofe of a president body probably but the new will be known as the Regular Baptist Convention of Ontario and Quebec, it was said. The meeting today will firm the opposition's attitude towafd the parent convention, the eauses of the (liversion, and the whys and the wherefors of the felling out witn Professor L. H. Marshall, of Me- Master University, who is accused of being a "'dangerous modernist." The insurgents will lay the foundations of a system whereby eventually they will carry on all the activities now directed by the original comyemtion, opposing group behind Mr. Shields. Alleed domination of the Home Mis- sion Board by the "modernists," further challenges for expulsion from opposition churches, and criticism of budgets were among the pegs on wic te fundamentalists hung their open lack of sympathy with the con. vention at large. © 12 Simeoé St, N.
