DeMille, Presi: dent of the Bay of Quinte Conference, Who Has Been Pastor of King St. Church for the Past Four Years, Will Leave July 1, 1928, to Become Minister of Stratford Central Unit- ed Church The resignation of Rev, C. W. De Mille as pastor of King Street United Church was accepted by the Official Board of the Church in regular ses- sion in the Board room last night. Mr. DeMille resigns to become pastor of Central United Church, Stratford, on July 1, The question of ministerial relation came before the meeting, the Record- ing Steward, A. R. Goyne, having a communication from the minister in which he intimated that he had been invited to Central United Church, Stratford, the invitation to be effec- tive July 1, 1928, He asked to be released that he might accept the invitation, At a former meeting when this matter came up a motion to release him was defeated and the letter was referred to the Pulpit Sup- ply Committee for consideration and report, 'The Committee reported last night in these words: "Your Pulpit Supply Committee begs to report as follows: "We wish to express our deep ap- preciation of the work of our min- ister for the past four years, We believe that he has served the cause successfully and satisfactorily, We learn with great regret ¢f his in- vitation to another charge, lieve that it will be difficult to find » stitable successor. But we have Hstened to Mr, DeMille's words, and we agree with him, and while we do it with sincere regret, we are un- animous in our recommendation that his request be granted and that he be salad, this to be effective July 1st, 1028, "We furtlier recommend that your Pulpit Supply Committee for the in- coming year be appointed forth- with," The members of the board expres- sed sincere regret that a change of pastors was contemplated but Mr, DeMille was positive in his state- mient that in his judgment the best interests of the work and his' own welfare would be served most by a change. Many complimentary things have been said of him. .Asked by - The Times if he was anxious to leave Mr, DeMille said he had never enjoyed work so much in his life, He had been treated with such kindness on the part of the great majority of the congregation that today it is em- barassing for him to request the re- lease, When he came the salary was $2,100. It has been raised to $2,750. The size of the congregation any Sunday is evidence of the apprecia- tion of his people, Frequently the wditorfum is not large enough to hold those attending. The Stratford Church to which Mr. DeMille is invited is one of the best charges in the London Confer- ence and one of the largest in On- tario west of Toronto, The city itself is about the size of Oshawa and provides a great opportunity for a man to work, Mr. DeMille is finish- ing four years in Oshawa. It was not possible to learn from any official if there is any partie man in mind as successor to their present minister. One member of the Board said when questioned "Mr. DeMille has given us four years of hard work. Our Sunday School is in a condition it never was in previously. The young people's work is thriving. The congregations are large and erthus- iasm js seen in every department of the church. But if a call comes to render similar service elsewhere would we be honest in insisting that Mr. DeMille remain? No! but per- sonally I would hold up both hands to have him stay." Before coming to this city as pas- tor of King Street Church, Rev. Mr. DeMille was General Secretary of the Ontario Religious, Education Council. He was also a member of the larger body, the Canadian Relig- ious Education Council, and still re- tains his connection with this body, being chairman of the aduli division of the work. He has been sent by the Canadian Council as its represen- tative to many international ferences, and is recognized as an authority on adult religious educa- tion in the Sunday School, having written many papers on the subject which are considered authoritative. Previous to coming back to Ontario, his home province, he was secretary of the Saskatchewan Religious Edu- cation Council, and he has been pas- tor of many churches ir Ontario dur ing his ministerial experience. {CHIEF We be- CAMERON CLOSES 12 YEARY' SERVICE TONIGHT To Turn "Over Keys to Lieut.

Culling at midnight tonight, closing over 12 years of service to the city of Oshawa as its fire chief, He leaves the public service under ecireum- stances that many citizens regret, who ave not slow in declaring that the chief has been treated with marked injustice by the Council of 1927, Marking his return to the ranks of private citizens, Chief Cameron Is in receipt of a letter from the B, P, Heaton, provincial fire mar- shall, who states: "I have your letter of the 10th Instant, and of course I had no- ticed in the Press that your resig- nation had been accepted to date from the 15th, Of course I learned from oher sources just what was at the hottom of your resignation, "May I say that you have my very hearty wish that you will have no occasion to regret the step you have taken and that success in your renewed venture will be yours in whatever you do, "I cannot let this closing let- ter as. between this department and you as the chief of the Oshawa Fire Department pass without a very strong commendation of .the splendid work you have done in your city from the time you were appointed fire chief until now, Those who know best and are best qualified to speak must realize, as I do, ,that your service has been limitless 'in time and characterized by an energy and initiation that have well earned for you the title of a model fire chief and a re- markably good public servant, I am gunite sure that the citizens of Oshawa will live to regret that your service is lost to them.'

Mr, Anderson of Ritson Road, Osh- awa, has a very attractive exhibit of honey, while Messrs, Hogg and Lytle and Cooper Smith are showing a complete line of poultry supplies of all kinds, We are pub- lishing today only a partial list of the prize winners, Owing to the very large number of entries and the enormous amount of detail work ir connection with the judging and tabulation of the prize lists, the As- sociation officials find it impossible to furnish a complete list before this paper goes to press today, On Fri- day, however, The Oshawa Daily Times will present its readers with complete lists of prizes and the names of the fortunate winners, Secretary Pleased Mr. C. Law, the energetic and efficient Mau of the Association expressed himself as being very pleased with the attendance yester- day, stating that the numbeF of paid far ded that of any S4mistio year.

SCHELL, President Wrecked But Situation is Relieved By Prompt Ac- tion and Courage of Lt. Culling and Two Members of Fire Department Due to the courage and cool judgment of Lieut, Culling and two other members of the Oshawa fire department, the Moffatt Mot- or Sales block was saved from destruction by a possible explo- sion of the furnace at an early hour this morning. Tenants of the apartment upstairs were on the street in night attire when the firemen arrived on the scene, afraid that any minute would see the building explode into atoms before their eyes. Noticing that there was some- thing wrong in the building, Con- stable N, McGee of the local police force turned in a still alarm to the firemen at 12.30 this morn- ing, and accompanied the three men on duty at the time to the scene with the chemical truck, Arriving there, they found that the occupants had forsaken . the building, and were on the street In bathrobes, slippers, fur coats and anything else that could be seized quickly, They had smelled smoke and heat, and, finding that the oil-burning furnace was out of order, had fled into the street. When Lieut, Culling, followed by his men, went into the cellar, they found that the furnace was {would be no possibility Heavy Explosion Averted At Moffat Motor Sales Building in Danger of Being ®iorriny overheated, with no water in the boiler, Although 1a immedi ate risk of their lives if even a few drops of liguid had gotten into the steam pipes, they investigated the trouble and found that the automatic shut-off which controls the oil fuel feed had falled to func- tion, Thus the furnace had be- come badly overheated, being al- most white hot, and evaporated the water in the pipes and boller, The switch which controls the oil- pum electric motor, and which should shut off automatically, had not turned off when the tempera. ture had risen to the required degree, The firemen located this switch, turned it off, thus shutting oft the fuel supply, and turned off the water at the main so that there of any water getting in and causing trouble, There is a valve on the oil burner which controls the water, and which was also shut off, but they thought it desirable to take the extra precaution. A second call was received at 2.30 from the residents of the flat, who noticed considerable smoke Issuing from the chimney, but everything was found to be all right, M. R. Jacobi, manager of the Moffatt Motor Sales, was sum- moned from his bed and the fire- men éxplained to him the steps which had been taken, When call- ed today by The Oshawa Daily Times, Mr. Jacobi sald over the working normally and that there telephone that the furhace was was no further trouble experi- enced, WILL DISCUSS CHAMBER OF COM.

VanZant Says ht Was Not a Direct Statement DISCUSSES CATTLE Says Butchered Cow With Tuberculosis Might Be Otherwise Sound Dr. H. VanZast, veterinary in- spector of Oshawa Board of Health, whose revelation concerning the disposition of diseased cattle from Oshawa and, presumably, from oth- er districts aroused such interest in Toronto, points out that in his statement of belief that the flesh of animals found to be suffering from tuberculosis was made up into sau- sage for the citizens of Toront he was making a well-founded sur- mise instead of a direct statement based upon observed facts, He points out, however, that a butchered cow found with tuber- cular symptoms in the liver may, otherwise, be a sound animal. There are, apparently, no medical reasons why, with the offending portion removed, such cattle may not serve as food, The more serious point of caitle suffering from "lump jaw"--a di- sease of the blood--was not elaho- rated upon by Dr, VanZant, He hag been caused considerable annoy- ance in the matter which wus a statement issued in good faith for the protection of the publie, Apparently, criticism even of & constructive nature is not welcom- ed hy any form of bureaucracy, cit izens of Oshawa point out, who know the fearless service which the Board of Health veterinary inspec- tor gives in protecting the local food supply. His work in the matter of tu- hercular dairy cattle is also highly regarded not only by health au- thorities locally, but has attracted favorable attention from the Min- istry of Health, under which the stamping out of a great menace to child life in Canada is being vigil- antly earried out, That German who has built a tire that blows itself up ought to get busy and see if he can't invent a silent back seat.--Wichita Eagle, S-- Ex-Warden Fred Fred Richardson | Ex-Warden Fred Richardson of Ontario County has notified the Chil dren's Aid Society that he will do- nate three acres of land for the proposed new Children's Home whenever the Society sees fit to build, This splendid offer has been taken into consideration oy the executive, and Mr. Richardson's generosity will be formally recog- nized at an early meeting of the Board. Without committing themselves in advance, members of the Society feel that Mr, Richardson's offer goes a long way towards solving a major problem, It iy pointed out that the new home will re- quire ample space for playgrounds, formal lawns, and garden plots for the children in addition to the land the building will actnally occupy. Consideration of plana for a new building will not be taken up seri- ously until after the drive for 2,- 000 new members, suggested by President Schell at the recent an- nual meeting and unanimously en- dorsed, is carried out. Already, however, that campaign is underway. Several citizens, not befcfe interested in Children's Aid Work, have sent in their dollar membership fee and have been en- rolled as the "originals" of an efl- fort which is expected to mark a new era in Children's Welfare Wor in Southern Ontario County, Awakening interest is noted not only in Oshawa, it is also stated, but throughout the district served. Mr. Richardson, for instance, is a citizen of Pickering, but is one of the largest farm and city prop- erty owners in Central Ontario, As a race the Scots, according to a statistican, are the tallest people on earth.
