Is it a never-end- ing routine of shopping, visiting theatres, or attending dances? Or is it the sitting beneath a canopy of leafy tress imagining that the hardships and worries of life are far distant, and in front of us the steady lap of waters? The latter, we all agree, for it has many com- pensations not found in the former, It 1s in the country that we sing a new song, with the hidden brook offering its peaceful accompani- ments, It is with the noble trees, and hills and valleys, that the beauties of life are reflected, and the highest emotions creep forth, Go to the"Kawartha Lakes, Mus- koka, Georgian Bay, the Bungalow Camps at French River, and Nipig- on or the many delightful spots for which Ontario is noted and revel in the peace and beauty of forest and stream.

O, Hallick, who was on the road at the time, brought Re" Work is now well under way in prepargtion for Oshawa Fair, Sep- tember 12, 13, and 14, which prom- ises to be the largest and most sue- cessful fair ever staged in the his- tory of Oshawa. Men commenced yesterday making improvements on the race track and when their la- bours are complete, if nothing else, the Fair can boast of the finest horse racing track to be found anywhere in the province. Minor repairs to the buildings and other sections of the grounds are also well under way. With this work as a material evidence of the efforts being put forward by the directors to make the Fair an outstanding event, in- terest is now growing dally and is being manifest in every direction. Indications Point To OshawaFair Surpassing All Previous Years Over 200 entries have already received for the various competi- tive events and two or three times this number are expected before the entries close on September 7. Mr. Van Woodruff, director in charge of the horse racing, reports that several owners of first class pacers have already semt in their entries. The reduced admission fee of 25 cents instead of 356 cents for adults and 10 instead of 15 cents for children, has already received much favorable comment especial- ly from those who not only go once to the Fair but often. It is felt that where three people paid 35 cents as previously to enter the fair, four will now gladly pay the new fee of 25 cents. Carter in and lodged him in jail here charged with driving while under the influence of liquor, At the hearing at nine o'clock ladt night, Magistrate Ward sentenced Carter to seven days in Cobourg jail, Carter was taken away by Mr, Hallick about ten o'clock last night, The truck and the fruit were the only things that were damaged, The windshield and side windows of the truck were in fine splinters, and two of the wheels were smash- ed, as well as on side of the truck.

Hills, game and fisheries overseer for this district, was in town yes- terday to issue two permits for commercial fishing to local firms, and investigate the report that some people had been shooting ducks in the marsh, The fact that the ducks were not yet in their prime and still were full of pine- feathers should deter the early hunters, he stated. He also stress- ed the point that the season for hunting ducks this year does not open until September 15, instead of the first of the month, as Is has previously done, > oo Born LANGMAID--At Thornton's Cor- ners, August 26, 1928, to Mr, "and Mrs. Walter Langmaid, a son (Lyman Alvin)),.

PAGE THREN a ----] This Wee Responsible For Demand For Help; Sales Keep Mcunting If Business Continues as at Present Additional Men Will Be Required Next Month--Now 210 on Wil- liams' Staff -- New Model Popular Product To cope with increasing orders in their radio department, Wil- llams Paino Company have this week added 30 men to their staff, . M. Hall, Superintendent stated to The Times this morning, If radio sales keep mounting as they have during recent weeks, an addition of twice this number may be ex- pected during next month, Mr, Hall added, The staff of the Willlams Plano Company now numbers about 210, including the group of 30 men just added. All of these mefi work on both radios and pianos, which are run through on the same route. A new model that has just been | produced by the company, is re- sponsible for a considerable part of the increased activity, says the superintendent. This cabinet Mod- el BH in the Willlams books, is unique in even the radio field. Pro. ductiion only started on Monday, and six models have been made for exhibition and show purposes. One of these was added to the Williams Company's radio display in the King Edward hotel in Toronto, and from this display alone orders of 200 of this one model have been recelved, so that it has been placed on full production at the plant, This, in Mr. Hall's opinion, is an apt illustration of the way in which the Willlams Super-Electric radio is 'taking' with Canadian deal- ers. But, while the radio division is showing remarkable activity, Wil- liams Pianos are not being neglect- ed in the least, adds Mr, Hall. The displays at the Canadian National Exhibition are being exteptionally well received, and indications are that this year the Oshawa plano manuufacturers will increase thelr lead and become even more firm- ly entrenched as Canada's leading piano makers.
