It is not very ~fon that a victure of the magni- tude, entertainment value or true eniec hizness ,of "Chang" comes a'ong. Pecanse of this, it towers head and . shoulders above practically everything which has come to local screens during the past year, "Chang" tells no ordinary tale. There. is nothing at all stereotvned ahgut "Chang." It is just one thriil after another, a whole series of them; one gasp after another, a whole narade of them. If you should ask that "Chang" be described in one short, terse phrase, we'd call it a mighty melo- drama of the wild.

The question has never been decided, whether the horse is more capable and adaptable than the dog as a screen actor. Some directors claim that the horse is more intelligent and falls more readily into. the spir. it of the part he is trained to play: others assert that the dog displays more gray matter amd is mere tractable and easily schooled than fhe equine star. You will have a chance to en- 'ter into the argument after you see "Wolf's Trail," starring "Dynamite" the wonder police dog in the Universal Western Feature which comes to the New Martin Theatre, Thursday Friday and Saturday. Feing lost, and once they form the habit of chicken or sheep killing they can never be weaned away from their reversion to wolfishnuss and must then be exterminated like any other marauding wild animal.

'Dyna- mite," a perfect example of the highly trained police dog, is the canine star of a thrilling photo. drama of the western ranch coun- try. Strictly a one man dog, it is a revelation to dog fanciers to ob- serve the complete obedience shown to its trainer in portraying its part as a neglected animal, deprived of the companionship of its master, reverting to the type of its wolfish forbears. Edmund Cobb plavs the leading role in support of "Dynamite." the wonder dog. Others in the ~ast are Terrv, Dixie Lamont, who rlays the featured feminine role Joe BRernett, Frank Baker and oth- ers.

Swanson, convenor, announced at the close of the meeting that at next Monday night's Council meeting a motion would be presented callmg for the appointment of a com-| mittee of aldermen to work with a committee of citizens with a view to furthering the project. Committee of Fifty As outlined, that committee would probably .call a general meeting at an early date and form a working nuc- leus for a membership campaign.

Now, how- ever, Oshawa was faced with problems which demanded organization. pointed out that though the Board of Trade had not functioned, and that he was in some doubt as to whether it actually had legal status, that Crown Attorney McGibbon, who had served as its honorary secretary for some time, had rendcred the city valuable service not only at the expense of his own time, but at the expense of his office through which replies to outside enquiries had been made. "I would like to see a live organiza- tion of five to six hundred members," he declared. G. W. McLaughlin was the next to address the meeting. "I have listened with a great deal of interest to Mr. Mack's advice," he declared, "and from my acquaintance with the city I believe that I know something of the city's needs.

Also how many places where Chambers of Commerce had been or- ganized had later abandoned the work Mr. Mack replied that ou an in- dividual membership, Oshawa might expect close to 400 members on the piu ral membership plan, which allows thc purchase of blocks of membership and to individuals who would not, otherwise, be drawn into a | Chamber of Commerce movement, the probably mcmbership here would run to upwards of 500. i Ex-Mayor Mason | speaker. | "I sometimes think," he declared, | "that we are like the proud mother who saw her son marching in a Boy Scout | parade, that cverybody is out of step but Oshawa.

Go there year in and year out and you will very rarely sce even a sign of depression." . Mr. Mason then discussed what Osh- awa could do with regard to Chamber of Commerce organization. He cited Belleville's example where the City Council pays half of the Chamber of were extremely rare. He felt assured that a membership drive in Oshawa would. oroviding it were endorsed by the right men, result in a live organi- cation and amply financed. The Bureau does not appeal to emo- tion in its membership campaigns. It goes at the problem with reasoned arguments and with methods that have proved efficacious under all manner of conditions. Formerly, a commission was charged, but that plan has been abandoned for a flat charge which, while seemingly high, is amply justi= fied by results obtained. He hoped that the Bureau's serviced would be required by Oshawa in the near future, "For," he declared, "this is the only city o1 its size and importance that am aware of that hasn't a Cham{@ ber of Commerce.
