RELYEA REUNION An interesting family reunion was held on Sept. 2 at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. W, Relyea, Park gtreet west, Prescott, when their eight children gathered togethar in the home. The occasion was a par- ticularly happy ome, as it was the first time that all the members of the family have been together since before the war. RETURNED TO SCHOOL A young lad of 15 years appear- ed im Belleville Juvenile Court yesterday charged with the theft of four cars from the Fair Grounds during the Fair last week. He pleaded guilty to all counts. The youth was out on parole from the Industrial School and Magistrate Mikel sent him back until the age of 21 years is reached, The boy gave hte police a merry chase be- fore his capture was effected. NARROW ESCAPE Bert Williams, an employee of the Allenbury Milk Products firm, Lindsay, narrowly escaped death, when he was blown clean through an open window, five feet away, and then fell several feet to a pile of railway ties, An explosion of steam caused the accident, and had Williams not gone through the window he would have fallen into a vat of scalding milk. Fellow- employees missed him and thought he had fallen into the milk, How- ever, despite a few minor injuries, Williams returned to work yester- day afternoon, NEW MARTIN FEATURE THURSDAY IS "STATE STREET SADIE" While critics and feature writers constantly grope for new adjectives to describe the exotic personality of Myrna Loy, it has fallen to Director Archie Mayo to add one of the most complimentary superlatives, Mayo, who directed Miss Loy in "State Street Sadie," coming next Thursday to the New Martin theatre, designates her as "the dual person- ality girl." "Miss Loy," he says, "is unique We Reale Auvthias Bought in a Jewelry Store BASSETTS JEWELLERS On Oshawa's Main Corner among feminine players in that she has consistently appeared in dur. roles with success. She first essa; ed this type oi role in 'The Girl from Chicago.'" In referring to the dual role, Mayo explains he means that both the "feminine menace or vampire" role and the sympathetic lead were played by Miss Loy. In "State Street Sadie" she "vamps" with finesse in one se- quence and plays the demure home girl in the next, and in both ap- pears to decided advantage, The distinct success with which Miss Loy scores in this combination of difficult characterizations sets her apart from the usual screen femin- ine lead, for ordinarily the latter dis- mally fails to enact the former con- vincingly. Her rare histrionic talent and her distinct type of beauty en- able Miss Loy to fulfill the require- ments of the dual personality role. Playing opposite Miss Loy in this all-star cast are Conrad Nagel, and William Russell, Georgie Stone and Pat Hartigan have important sup- SPECIAL REDUCED RATES FOR THE MOST GLORIOUS HOLIDAY porting parts, The picture contains thrill after thrill, as the principal protagonists attempt to get revenge on a sinister gang of crooks who stop at nothing on their daring hold- u PS. : _E.

Mani- toba is well ahead of her sigter prov- inces with her wheat about all cut and threshing getting under way. Frost of the week August 23-30 prac- tically missed this province, but was more or less severe over a large part of Saskatchewan and ihn many parts of Alberta, Harvesting of wheat is around sixty per cent. donc in Saskatchewan while approximate- ly 40 per cent. is done in Alberta. Weather has been such over the western section of the prairies that the maturing of the crop has been retarded, Alberta suffering the most in this respect. This province has also been severely hailed in places which is unusual so late in the sea- son while Saskatchewan and Mani- toba escaped lightly, Damage from other causes is negligible except a few reports of loss from sawfly. Extent of the damag: from frost will not be known until threshing is well under way. Opinion is practical- ly unanimous that it is impossible to determine losses at the present time, but the effect on grade will be more pronounced that it will be in yield. The crop in the eastern parts of the prairie was well advanced and much cutting done, Late wheat and oats of which there is considerable will no doubt have received injury, Readings taken on local thermome- ters state frosts to have varied from eight to 12 degrees with the major- ity registering from 2-6 degrees, Harvesting of coarse grains is over 80 per cent. done in Manitoba, about fifty per cent. in Saskatchewan and about 25 per cent. in Alberta. Thresh- ing of wheat has begun at some thirty points in Saskatchewan and at six or. seven in the western province, Favorable weather will see much done in the next ten days. A great many combines will be used to thresh this crop which will affect the threshing date considerably, Help Is Ample Harvest help 1s ample over the whole west with a few exceptions with harvest wages running generals ly around the $4.00 per day mark, a few paying more for threshing. Covering conditions by provinces, the report says: Manitoba: Conditions remain generally good one-third of the 87 points reporting state threshing not yet started. The remainder show varying percentages from a start to 25 per cent. Some 16 points report frost damage rang- ing. from 210 degrees with varying estimates of the loss, but the province as a whole has escaped the low temperatures remarkably. Hail losses are reported chiefly from Atyleton, but other damage is negligible. Saskatchewan: Frost is the feature of the crop story in this province. Only nine points out of the 148 reporting es- caped the frosts of the week August 23 to 30 which ranged from eight to 12 degrees. Crop correspondents state frankly they find it difficult or impossible to estimate the damage at this time but it would appear it will affect the grade of grain more than the yield. Cutting of wheat ranges from 10-100 per cent. done with a wide variation. Over the province it is difficult to strike an average fig- ure. On the whole it would appear to be about sixty per cent. Scout Notes | Once more, with school open again, scouting activities are starting away on a fresh fall and winter program. Everybody will be entering into the work with fresh vigour after their summer holidays, and things in general hold out the promise of going over with a bang during the forthcoming season. Let us all get together and work with a will, and see if there is not something which we can do, either collectively or singly, for the good of the community. One thing which might run in a co-operative manner, is a Christmas Toy Shop. This could be run In conjunction with the Rotary Club's Christmas Cheer Fund, and the remade toys turned over to them for distribution. For the benefit of those who have not heard of a Scout Christmas Toy Shop, we will take the time to de- scribe its purpose. Unwanted toys are collected by the members of the different Troops and brought to the Toy Shop where they are reworked and made into mew toys. People irom the cominunity donate the old toys, and the Scouts remake them into new toys, which are either distributed from the Toy Shop, or turned over to some central organi- zation distributing Christmas Cheer. If such a plan could be worked out properly in Oshawa, the toys might be turned over to the Rotary Club for distribution, thereby allowing the money spent on these articles to be spent on food and clothing. It would certainly be a great thing if we could do this in the same way that other troops are doing it in other - cities. We must not let things slip by though, until Chrstmas is upon us, before starting on this project, but should start right away so that we will be in full swing by the first week in December. Think it over Scouters, and let us hear your opinions either om or be- fore the next meeting of the local committee. We are pleased to hear that Fourth Troop entertained the child- ren of the Red Cross Cottage to a corn roast, last Friday. By all reports, the affair was a marked success and the scout master and his troop are to be congratula- ted. Ist Thornton's Corners: Meeting will be held as usual next Friday at 7.30 p.m. There are rum- ors of a corn roast, to be held in conjunction with the Fifth Oshawa in the near future, and all boys are advised to attend the next meeting. 2nd Oshawa: Meetings are now being held at headquarters on Friday nights at the usual hours. 4th Oshawa: + Meeting on Friday night as per announgement by scout master Ing- ham last Friday. the 5th Oshawa: Meet on Friday next at 7.30 p.m. in the Y.M.C A, ready for next sea- son's work. Every boy must be out to this meeting or notify his scout master or patrol leader about: his absence.
