THE LEADING JEWELLERS "Buy Where Satisfaction is a Certainty" Established 1886 9,643 INCREASE IN CIRGULATION PUBLIC LIBRARY Steady Growth Revealed' in Report of Secretary of * Institution - Evidence of the increasing pop- ularity of the local public library is seen in the librarian"s report for the month of May which dis- closes that there has been an in- crease of 9,643 books circulated during the five months period from January to May inclusive over the number distributed in the corresponding period for last year. For the five months this year the total number of books taken out by patrons was 41,257 contrasted with 31,614 for the corresponding five months of 1927. Seven thous- and one hundred and forty-one books were distributed last month, 5,495 being to adult readers while juvenile patrons accounted for the balance of 1,646 volumes, A glance at the librarian's re- port for last month would indicate that juvenile readers take a much more balanced diet of literature than their elders, Adult patrons are strongly tempted by fiction and of the 5,495 hooks issued to adults, 4,634 consisted of fiction. Juveniles on the other hand took out but 1,067 books on fiction leaving 567 works to be classed as reference, biography, travel, literature and so forth, Apparently the youthful mind is given to the acquisition of knowledge to a larger extent than the adult which seeks recreation rfom the stern realities of life in the fabric of imagination woven hy some author of fiction. Adult patrons accounted for 191 reference hooks, while juveniles subscribed to 41, senior readers took out 97 volumes n biography, juveniles accounting for 34, 'In useful arts, youthful readers are far ahead taking out 106 volumes under this classification to num- ber for seniors heing 58. The num- ber of volumes issued under other classifications were as follows: travel, 130 adult, 97 juvenile; his- tory, 42 adult, 29 juvenile;; liter- ature, 125 adults, 20 juvenile; fine arts, 48 adult, 38 juvenile; natural science, 35 adult, 83 juvenile; socialogy, 656 adult, 86 juvenile; religion, 40 adult, 6 juvenile; philosophy, 30 adult; general work, 6 adult, and 30 juvenile, Engagements Mr, and Mrs. A, E.

This building has been moved by the Flintoff firm to the front of their part of the lot, and is now being made ready for occupancy, The warchouse is 40 by 64 fect in size, and a concrete foundation and basement has been placed under it, The Oshawa Railway siding on Rich- mond street - will be extended the necessary distance to serye this pro- perty, Work is now proceeding on the preparation of this building to accommodate Messrs, Flintoff & Son and it is expected that it will he ready for occupancy about. June 15, When the clevator is installed in this building, the basement finished and a siding provided, this firm will have one of the most modern and best constructed ~~ archouse buildings mn Oshawa, There is a large space at the rear of the building on the lot purchased by them which will be a- vailable for extending the building or outside storage as may be required, This is the 'second "time that this building has come into considerable prominence, it having first been er- ected at the Lakefront where it sery- ed for many years as a grain stor- age warchouse, and several years ago it was moved to its uptown location, behind the fruit storage building of the Oshawa Fruit Growers' Associa- tion, A glance at its construction indicates that it belongs to another generation, Large hewn beams a full width of 40 feet support each of the floors and give a strength compar- able to a modern steel structure.

SUPERANNUATION OSHAWA PASTOR (Continued From Page 1) total of $8,380,662 in chureh pro- perty, an increase of $845,000 over the previous year. Rey. Mr. Tay- lor was re-elected statistican for the ensuing year. The nominating committee is composed of Rev. F. KE, Malott, Belleville, chairman, Rev. J. U, Robins, Bowmanville, secretary, Rev. A. G. Cleland, Cobden, and Messrs. W. H. Hopper, Cobourg, and Elmer Davis, Kingston, At the Laymen's Association Banquet last night, Rev, Dr, C. H. Goodell, secretary of evangelism for the Federal Council of Churches of North America, comprising 28% denominations, gave an address on the relationship of laymen to the church, Rey, Leighton Richards, of Carr's Lane Church, Birming- ham, England, one of the outstand- ing Congregational churches in the British Isles, also spoke. The latter was introduced hy Principal Kent of Queen's Theolog- ieal College, Kingston, and Dr. Goodell, by Mr, Elmer Davis, King- ston, honorary president of the Laymen's Association. "The United Church is a prophesy of a that will eover the boundless hope and joy as the waters cover the sea," said Dr. Goodell in opening his remarks. We must stand together, and he quoted the example of a millionaire layman of New York City, John.. --, who gave half of all of his $1.- 000 per day income to the work of Christ's Church, saying that he was laying "it aside for "My Partner." There are more laymen in the pulpits of Great Britain than there are ministers, he told the audi- ence, While the layman "sells goods to pay expenses" his busi- ness is to serve God. He S50 Touched upon Prohibition, saying that he had travelled 10,000 miles and saw only two drunken men, "If anyone tells you that Prohibi- tion has not done a marvellous work in the States, tell him he is an errant prevaricator". remarked Dr. Goodell. Two-thirds' of the missions of New York City, which used to serve the drunkard, have been closed because of the passing of the material upon which they worked. Rev. Leighton Richards prophesi- ed that the two great churches of Scotland, the established Church of Scotland and the United Free Church, would unite within a year, following the example of the Cana- dian churches in 1925. Within 2 vears, he thought, the 8 wrinucnes of the Methodist echureh in England would unite, paving the way for a wider union there. The United Church has secured unity without imposing uniformity upon its peo- ple, was his comment after a study of the church here. The Christian. Church have as its work drawing a pieture of God for the people, and embody- ing Christ in its life. Service and only service should be the key to eminence in the Church. "Fhe dis- cussions on religious were largely unnecessary, Modernism and Fundalism, as an example, they were simply two ways of expressing the same vital facts. Nearly four hundred Jaymen and ministers were present at the ban- quet. in the basement of the Unil- ed Church. Appropriate musical selections, including entertainment throughout the evening by the Sun- day School orchestra of Smith's Falls United Church, were the sub- ject of an expression of apprecia- tion by the Association.

Approximately 22 per cent. of the members of the Chamber of Commerce are merchants and through a special committee from their number immediate action was taken for the necessaiy steps to form the burcan. The Credit Burcau is an essential for all well-developed communities where the merchants receive invalu- able information concerning their patrons, and the way in which they might further serve them, and yet, mn the long run, protect themselves. A large majority, in fact the great majorit merchants, carry on a credit service of which their custom- In a few cases the advantages of this credit service is overrstepped, Patrons who arc unable to finally settle with the mer- chants are just considered "dead" counts in the books of the latter, and as a result the merchants suffer to a considerable extent, wl ac- Owing to the fact that the opera- tion of the Burcau would be of bene- fit to a certain section of the Cham- ber of Commerce membership it was decided by the merchants and ap- proved of by the Directors of the Chamber that a special fee of tw dollars should Ie ade to those de- ous of hecoming affiliated with the Burcau; this fee to cover the period until February 15, 1929, vO Already there are 45 of the lead- ing m chants members of the Bur- eau and it is expected that by June 15 it will be possible for the Bureau members to secure reports, over the telephone, if necessary, of those who are considered by the Burcau to be bad, or slow payers.
