ALBERT ST, HOME AND SCHOOL CLUB Hear a Pleasing Program Given By Popular Artists One of the most interesting and lively meetings of the Albert St. Home and School Club was held at the school on Monday evening, March 5, with Mrs, Adair, the president in the chair. The meeting was opened by the singing of "0 Canada', The club was greatly favored by the presence at their meeting of the following musi- cians: Mr, Gordon Maxwell wha de- lighted all by his splendid rendi- tion of "Sunrise and You." Miss Doris Smith who played a delightful piano solo. Miss Floregee Baxter, whose piano . solo proved a most fitting close for the address of the even- ing.

Mrs. Adair, the president, read a most. amusing story to the mem- bers. The address of the evening was splendidly given by Mr. Millard. He gave the club zome very ipter- esting incidents of his life while in England, France, and Belgium. He touched upon the humorous pathetic and practical side of life. "Over There" during the Great War. He stressed the fact that none of us are alone in the great conflicts 'of life. We, in our Home and School work are only a unit helped and sustained by other clubs but all working toward ope end, the betterment of our scnool and home life, Just as the soldiers from each country were so ar- ranged that they received help and inspiration from, the dally remin- der that it was not a lone fight they were engaged in. We are greatly indebted to Mr. Millard for his in- spiring address. During the business session it was decided to hold a Euchre Party at the School on Friday evening, March 16th.

START REHEARSING FOR STYLE SHOW About 75 Young People to Take Part in New Idea Style Revue The big style show which the merchants of Oshawa are Sponsor- ing went into rehearsal last even- ing when about sevetny five of the city's most popular young people got their first introduction to the new fdea Style Revue. In the past the Style Pageant has been staged in conjumetion with the pegular piec- ture program but the merchants feel they wish to give the patroms a Fashion show on as big a seale as Simpsons of Torputo. So they are giving an entire evening's per- formance without the Picture. The show is in the form of a Revue us- ing mannequins, singers, 'and comedians, and three.complete | changes of Scenery. The produc- tion is to be at the Regent Theatre on March 19, 20, 24. Fur- ther announcements will be made {from day to day through the Osh- awa Daily Times. NENBERS CLINER OF COMMERCE GET TOGETHER TONIGHT Adoption of a Constitution Will Be Chief Business on Agenda The membership of the new Oshawa Chamber of Commerce will hold its first meeting this ev- ening at the Center Street School at which time the machinery will be set in motion to complete the organization of the local civie body. Since the movement has attracted greater support from Oshawa than even' the most opti- mistic expected, a rousing meeting is anticipated. The most important matter to come before the members tonight is the adoption of a: constitution and bylaws, which "will be the governing document of the organ- ization. Since ti® bylaws define the method by which the directors will be elected it is of utmost im- portanck that every member un- derstand them thoroughly. Im- Tediately after this meeting the mbership will divide into i ups to discuss the projects which the Chamber will devote its energies to accomplish for the good of the elty, HOSPITAL MAY BE CIVIC INSTITUTION (Continued From Page 1) the onus has heen placed on the city council to .decide whether these people are ahle to pay their accounts, The ¢ity has never re- fused to pay its just debts, byt I deny the right of the Hospital Board to ask the"clerk, city offic. fals and this council to investigate the case of «very patient entering from this eity."" e then cited an instance of a girl who had been refused permission to leave the institution, after becoming con- valescent, until her bill was paid. In outlining the attitude of the Hospital Board, Alderman Conant stated that, at a meeting of the board that afternoon, they had decided to send indigent notices only in the case of patients in the public ward, which would be about one-third of the total en- tering the hospital. He appreciat- ed the inconvenience to the city, but pointed out that Provineial statutes required that, inp the cage of indigent patients, notifica- tion must be given the municipal- ity upon their admittance to the hospital. The Oshawa hospital has no machinery to establish a credit basis, and is adjudged toe small to support a business ad- ministrgtor, so it wag thought that the city, or the county as the case might be, could better afford to investigate the cases. Mayor Preston expressed the opinion that the time was ripe to make the hospital a civic institu- tion. The hospital plays a sighc- fently important part to have a business manager, he thought, apd the council should come clos- er to the situation and cope with it. If nothing else, the present grant could be enlarged to help the Board provide for administra- tion. Alderman Conant suggested an agreement whereby the city pay the Hospital Board a lump sum in lien of paymept for indigent pa- tients. In the opinion of Aldermen Swanson, "making the hospital a municipal institution is the most dangerous project which has been brought before this counpeil in many years." He pointed out, that if the municipality agreed to bear all costs of management, they would find the cost mount 25 to 50 per cent higher than it is pow, with the Board of Directors whose time and money is wrapped up in the institution endeavoring to keep expenses to the minimum. He paid tribute to the public spir- it of the Hospital d, and stated that this was the first time any suggestion had been made J that the institution was not being operated fin the best interests of the eity. He favored the fixed grant for indigent relief and stated that, if the Hospital Board asked the council for an increased grant, council would mot fail to do its duty. On the vote being taken, the re- port of the finance committee was received as read, and payment re- fused on the five bills from the hospital. HEZEKIAH HAMBLY A large number of friends and relatives attended the funeral ser- vices held for Mr. Hezekiah Hamb- ly. whose death occurred last Thursday at the.mge 7. The service was held from his residence at 32 Charles Street. Mr. Hambly has lived in Oshawa for a , of terment was made in Bowmanville Cemetery. Those people who manufacture "re- ducing" medicines ought to be con- tent. They live on the fat-of the i land. --Hamilton Herald. TORONTO STOUKS NOON CLOSING (Supplied by Stoble, Forlong & Co.)

Ho B SaMLLLS © Well known and esteemed business man of this city who is retiring from active business having dissolved partnership with F. ( Davidson of Davidson and Sam- ells, shoe firm, RETIRING FROM SHOE BUSINESS F. C. Davidson of Davidson & Samells to Carry on-- Partnership Dissolved A life-long resident of Oshawa, H. B. Samells, announces today his retirement from active busi- ness life. Mr. Samells has for the past ten years heen in part- nership with ¥. CC. Davidson in the firm of Davidson and Samells, con- ducting a boot and shoe business at Simcoe and Bond streets. Mr. Samells started in the shoe retailing business on May 22, 1014, and ten years ago entered partnership with' Mr, 'Davidson. The husiness wil now be carried on by Mr. Davidson, who owns the block occupied by the firm, on the north-east corner of Bond and Simcoe streets. Many years ago, during the first years of his residence in this city, Mr. Samells was an employee of the Gibbs Furniture Co. in the old cabinet factory, and since that time he has been in almost con- tinuous residence here. He has seen Oshawa grow from a village ip a town, and then, suddenly, from a town .to a rapidly increas- ing city, and many are the inter- esting anecdotes that he can tell of life in this, the most widely known city of Canada. After being with the Gibbs com- pany for some years, Mr. Samells transferred his allegiance to the Luke cabinet works and was with this company and the Massey firm for ahout five years: Then, for over twenty years, he was employ- ed by the Williams Piano Co., for many years as superintendent. Then, in 1914, he entered busi- ness for himself. TO RETAIN RIGHTS ON GRAVEL PITS (Continued From Page 1) journal may interview the council in person. A request from the Samaritan council of the V.O.N. for the use of the council chambers for a charity sale was granted as also was the re- quest of the Women's Institute for a room in the town hall for a cook- ng demonstration. Ald. Bowman made application on behalf of the Whithy Bowling and Tennis Club for the free use of the town auditorium some date in March when, as he claimed, a concert would be given, the proceeds to be donat- ed to the club's fund. As hc con- sidered this to be a civic enterprise be thought the request should be granted. Other councillors consider- ed this might create a dangerous pre- cedent and it was finally decided to give the clu a 50 @er cent. reduction m the usual charfe : A by-law for The introduction of Daylight Saving Time in Whithy commencing 1201 pan. April 29 to 1201 pm. September 30, was moved by Reeve jackson, seconded by Councillor Pringle. his bylaw is in accordance with the dates set at To- rofito and Oshawa and in accordance with the request of the Railways Un- ion made to certain municipalities cast of Toronto on the lake shore. The measure was passed. A petition from Constable John Thomas for an increase of $10 per month in salary was referred to the applications committee. Councillor Bowman read tlie report of the fire and light committee re- commending the placing of streex lights at certain cormers and: the purchase of two-way hose couplings and also six mew rubber coats for the fire department. The report was adopted. Ald. Jas. Ormiston reported for the relief committee that conditions lo- cally were improving and that fewer cases of families in hardship were being brought to his comunittee's at- tention. Ohief Gunson's report for the past month showed that a total of $284 had becn received in fines, car valued at $500 was recovered and a bottle of liquor valued at $6 had heen seized. The chief of police was commended for his activities and his report adapted. The council was pleased the the by by town auditors, Messrs. a stolen | Third Reading is Given the Bylaw to Improve Food Conditions At its meeting last uight, the city council gave third reading to and passed the by-law licensing and regulating restaurants and cafes within the city. Second reading was also given a by-law to regu- late the delivery and exposure for sale of meat, poultry, flesh, fish and fruit, which was given its first reading October 6 last year. These two by-laws, the purpose of which is to improve conditions of handling foodstuffs in Oshawa, were advanced through the stages mentioned without debate, Under the second act, no food of the description mentioned may be dis- played where dust can contaminate it, and other provisions tending to safeguard the community's health are included. No longer will residents of Rit- son Road, in the vicinity of Olive avenue, suffer from the proximity of the dump. Council gave approval last night, to a measure discon- tinuing the disposal of vegetable material here, and designating the ravine between Kitchener Avenue and Bloor street as the future city dump. It was also recommended that chemicals and lime be used liberally. Further investigation will be given by the finance committee to the application of the Oshawa Railway regarding street car ser- vice, which would discontinue the practise of, stopping at the C.N. R. station nd create a 20-minute service, The matters of employing a relief officer and of the estab- lishing of an air port at Whithy and @ new highway along the lake front, as presented to council at the last meeting, are under advise- ment, and a report on the latter question was promised at the next general meeting. The Board of Works reported that the matter of improvements to Knight Road has heen referred to Aldermen Stacey and E. Jackson for a further report to the Board, The application of E. Mothers sill, 20 Elena street, for a permit for a store at this address was re- ferred to the General Purpose Committee, and the statement of the Oshawa Poultry, Pigeon and Pet Stock Association to the fin- ance committee, City property committee recom- mended that nu action be taken at the present time relating to the purchase of a emall piece of land by A. ¥ Drew, since the disposal of this property might compromise the value of the lands comprising the city hall and market squara, The scales of H, M., Fowlds & Son were designated temporary city scales, and James Fowlds named as weighmaster. The present scales, which have been ordered closed, will be repaired as soon as the weather will permit jf they are worth the necessary repairs iu the opinion of the city engineer, The question of bus operation was under review ip the council, and the clerk was asked to write to the Department of Highways, as- certaining their views regarding fees for inter-city buses operating on city streets. By-laws were passed for the is- suing of $13,171.02 in ten-year debentures to pay for sidewalks constucted in 1927, and $217,- 097.82 in 15-year debentures to pay for pavements and sewers con- structed in 1927. The Board of Works was in- structed to prepare for council a statement of all petitions for sew- ers, sidewalks, 2nd pavements that they have received this year. They were also instructed to gravel and cinder the road to Lakeview Gar- dens, which was partly gravelled last year. Petitions for sidewalks on St. Lawrence street and Annis lane, and for sewers on Alice street and Oshawa Boulevard, were re- ferred to the Board. man and W, M. Jermyn, which was read by Town Clerk Frost. A fay- orable decrease was shown in the town's debentures from $613,184.29 on December 31, 1926, to $602,032 on De- cember 31, 1927. The poll tax for last year totallkd $£573 in contrast with £370 in 1926, while the dog tax in- creased from $323 to $414 in the same period. The revenues from the police de- partment were more than tripled, a- mounting to $1,845.50 last year and $505 for 1926. Just previous to adjournment Ald. Ormiston aroused a warm discussion when he stated that W hitby was {| losing money by not improving the track at the public park on Brock street. He cited the case of Cobourg where several athletic meets had been held last year with the result that people had been drawn to that com- munity from all over Central Ontario. He considered that by improving the | park here athletic meets could be held which would not only advertise the town but bring in additional bu- siness. Most of the councillors sup- ported his attitude but did not think tee which has charge of the local parks. Those present at the meeting in- <luded Mayor Bateman, Recve Jack- son, Deputy Reeve Underwood and Councillors Ed. Bowman, Chas. Broughton, James Ommiston, § Threcadgald, David Mowat and Wm. Wieioativg "Debate bade Reorganization of the city fire department and placing it on a permanent basis was definitely de- cided upon last night by the eity council. The chief was authorized to engage sufficient men to bring the full-time personnel up to a total strength of 16 men; accord- ing to the recommendation of the chief, W. C. Elliott. Authorization was also given to purchase over 1,000 feet of fire hose, and to se- cure at once a car for the use of the chief, These three clauses, contained In the report of the Fire Protection and City Property committee pre- sented by the chairman, Ald. G. T. Morris, occasioned considerable discussion in the council, especial- ly in relation to the two dealing with the fire chief's car and that of engaging additional firemen. But the seven members of the commit- tee stuck solidly behind their chair- man -and strongly supported the motion, and held in their hands a clear majority of the 13 members of the council present. Alderman Peter MacDonald start- ed the ball rolling by a motion to hold the two clauses relating to the purchase of the car and the engaging of firemen over until the estimates for the year are under consideration by the council. He was supported by Alderman John Stacey, who pointed out that these measures would entail a probable expenditure of $33,000 » annually, and expressed his fear that the mill rate would stay high instead of gradually dropping as he had hoped, "In the town of Oshawa...," Alderman Stacey began. Alderman Conant (smilingly) "City, Mr, Stacey." "Well, in the city of Oshawa, then, fire protection costs are mounting rapidly. I think this question should be left until we consider estimates." "The committee of seven alder- men were unanimous in recom- mending this" Alderman Morris in- terposed, "it depends on the im- portance this council places on ade- quate fire protection. I never, in my life, saw anything so pitiful as in Port Hope Saturday, when final- ly, not a drop of water could he trained on the raging fire. We are living in a Fool's Paradise in Osh-- awa, as far as fire protection is con- cerned, gentlemen, and this com- mittee is pot asking anything not absolutely necessary." Alderman Stacey persisted that no brigade, even with the efficiency of Toronto, was proof against large fires; he believed in protection, but pot to extremes. The estimates would be ready within a week, and it would do no harm to leave the question that long. Alderman E. Jackson propound- ed the question whether any al- derman thought that six men, which would be the strepgth of each shift, under the new system, was too many to respond to an alarm, say to the Hospital or to the Col- lege. Aldermen Copant, Boddy, Douglas and Carnell also spoke in favor of the report as presented, while Alderman 8. Jackson favored the motion. The motion to leave the question over was then lost on the vote, and the report of the committee accepted as read. The new system will provide for 2 staff of Chief Elliott, George Saltar, who will always be on duty in the station, and fourteen firemen on two shifts. Each man will have one day a week off duty, leaving six men on each shift to respond to alarms. The present total staff is ® men, besides the chief and Mr. Salter. The three clauses dealing par- ticularly with the fire department read: "We beg to recommend that the following 22." Fire Hose be pur- chased: -- (a) 300° from the Good- year Tire and Rubber Co. (b) 250° from the Dunlop Rubber Co. (c) 350° from the Gutta Percha Rubber Co., all complete with couplings at a uniform price of 1.45 per lineal foot. (d) 150° 32" Fire Hose from the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. (e) We fur- ther recommend that the following equipment be purchaser from the Gutta Percha Rubber Co.: § sets of 2%" hose couplings, 24 expan- der rings, 2 lbs. 22: " hose gaskets, and the miscellaneous reducers and nozzles as required. Re car for Chief of the Fire De- partment, we recommend that a Chevrolet Coach, 1927 model, with full standard equipment, be pur- d for the lusive use of the Fire Chief and bis department. The said purchase to be from the On- tario Motor Sales Co., Ltd., for the swan of $650. Re Permanent Firemen, we rec- ommend that the Chief of the Fire Depantment be authorized to en- gage, alter due examination, a PUMPER BEING OVERHAULED Sent Today to Maintenance Station at General Motors Tonight, Oshawa has no water pumper to answer fire calls, The combination pumper, chemical and hose truck was taken this morn- ing to the Maintenance station of General Motors for a thorough overhauling. It is expected that it will be back on the job again tos morrow, It has been considered by the Fire Protection and City Property committee, on recommendation of the: fire chief, necessary to have the pumper engine overhauled and generally fitted for more efficient service, Mechanics commenced work on the job immediately the truck arrived at the Maintenance station, and it is confidently ex- pected that it will be back in the fire station, in ship-shape condi- tion, tomorrow, In the mean- time, 1200 feet of hose ordinarily carried by this truck have been loaded on an ordinary general ser- vice truck secured for the two days from a transport company, and this will be used if necessary to have more hose, in a second alarm. If there are any alarms of fire received, the Chevrolet chemical and hose truck and the ladder truck will respond, but it would be necessary to depend up- on: the city water pressure in the hydrants for water supply, L. T. B, MEMBERS AT FUNERAL IN TORONTO The sympathy of the local L.T. B. lodge No. 55 was. shown to Mr, G. Farley in the death of his he- loved wife when six members of the lodge attended the funeral held in Toronto on Monday, They were Mrs. I. Follest, D.D.G.M.; Mrs. B. Hurst, W.M.; Mrs. S.
