THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1928 PAGE FIFTEEN Have the Largest Midway Ever Recorded Oshawa Fair Will SCIENCE AIH T0 KEEP BODY AND "SOUL TOGETHER SiF William Bragg Tells Audience of Scientists ° Man Has Soul REVEALS WAR SECRET | fi Tg oy, Sin e ing German Artillery Glasgow, Scotland, Sept. 8--Sir William Bragg, making his first address as president of the British Association for Advancement of Sci- ence, Wednesday night flatly told his distinguished audience that man has a soul, His incisive declaration was in direct contradiction of the address made to the body last year by its then president, Sir Arthur Keith, who rejected the idea of an after-life. Standing before 3,000 scientists as- sembled in St. Andrew's Hall, Sir William shook his finger at his hear- ers and tossed the iron-grey hair fringing his bald head as he declared "Science is not setting forth to de- stroy the soul, but to keep body and soul together." The Nobel prize winner and dis- coverer of a new method of mea- suring electrons and atoms in cry- stals, took as his promise that sci- £nce and religion are not incompat- ible. "There are some who think," he said, "that science is inhuman. They speak as though students of modern science would destroy reverence and faith, I do not know how that can be said of the student who stands daily in the presence of what seems to him to be the infinite." War Secret Revealed How the British army became so expert in locating and destroying German artillery in the World War was revealed by Sir William. An electric therometer which reg- istered the temperature of puffs of air occasioned by artillery fire gave the British experts a basic figure upon which they could calculate the SXARt whereabouts of the artillery, he said, It so happened that an enemy aero- plane came over the lines one morn- ng at daybreak, One of the science students, an officer, lay awake in his bunk listening to the discharges of the anti-aircraft guns and the more distant explosions of their shells, , Every now and then a faint whist- ling Sound seemed to be connected with the louder sounds. The wall of the hut was of felt; it was in poor condition and there were tiny rents close to the officer's head.

The method was tried and found to be a complete "Alter the session, Sir William dis- er the session, Si i closed that the inventive officer was own son, Prof, W. L. Bragg, of Manchester. ' 13 FOUND DEAD BENEATH AUTO Thomas Curtin, 22, Victim of Accident Sunday Near Stratford Stratford, Sept. 8. ~Thomas Curtin, age 22, son of Mr. and Mrs, John Curtin, Kennicott, was found 'dead beneath an upturned car on the Stratferd- Mitchell highway early Sunday morning, as the result of an accident, the cause of which may never be known, A passing motorist discovered the badly wrecked car in the ditch near Seebach's Hill and upon mvesiigat ing found the lifeless body of the young man crumpled in the front seat beneath the splintered steering wheel. v Early Saturday evening the young man left his home in his brother's car to go to Mitchell and his failure to return caused his family consider- able anxiety, He had evidently been in Stratford Saturday night since his car was facing Mitchell when dis- covered. Police believe that he may have fallen asleep at the wheel and that the car gradually slipped off the road until it was in the ditch. Measure- ments indicated that it had left the pavement about 200 feet from the scene of the accident and after trav- elling on the shoulder of the road, ran into the deep ditch on the right hand side of the road west of the Swinging Gate Inn, Evidently the car careened from one side of the ditch to the other for a distance of nearly a hundred feet, When about four feet from a farm entrance, the right wheel is believed to have broken and the car somersaulted, the rear end landing on the roadway into the farm-house, The car, a light touring, was al- most demolished, the top being com- pletely smashed, Inside the young man was pinned to his death, Part of his coat was fastened in the door, which would have prevented jumping from the auto before it turned over. Parading the prize winners track and fills the grandstand The parade is handled in to year. Parade of Livestock an interesting event, and year after year a large crowd lines the this year for four o'clock on the afternoon of Thursday, Sep- tember 13, the last day of the Fair in England and Scotland, and has always been a credit to the directors of the local exhibition. It gives the public an oppor. tunity to see the animals that, in the opinion of the judges, are most worthy of recognition in the whole district near Oshawa, and illustrates the trend of development in live stock from year at Oshawa Fair has always been to see it. The parade is slated the fashion of the best shows Coroner Dr. Arms , of Mit & County Constable R. H. Mott, itchell; Provincial Officer Beattie and hway Traffic Officer J. Pal- mer of Stratford rushed to the scene of the fatality about 7 o'clock. Upon examination of the body no bones were found broken but bruises on hi right shoulder and chest gave evi- dence of internal injuries, from which it is believed he died instant. aneously. The accident is thought to have occurred only a short time be- fore the officers were called. CHILD INJURED BY STRAY HORSE Alfred Burnett, Two, Has Both Jaws Fractured and Face Badly Cut Marnwora, Sept. 8.--~Alfred Burnett, 2-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Sid- ney Burnett, Marmora Township, was badly injured while playing on the common near his home, It is believed that a stray horse which was on the common. caused the injuries, which consisted of gashes on forehead, nose, and chin, and fracture of both jaws. The little lad was playing with a pup on the common, and when the pup came home along Mrs. Burnett went out to look for the child and found him near the house, bleeding profusely from the cuts. Medical ex- amination revealed that the jaws were fractured. TRIBUTE TO D'ARCY McGEE PAID BY HON, MR.

CATTLE THIEVES INVADE LAMBTON Long Series of Individual Thefts Ends With Raid On Farm Where Eight Head Takeén Sarnia, Sept. 8 --Cattle thieves are rampant in Lambton county. Follow ing a series of thefts of individual animals all summer, eight valuable Durham cattle have vanished irom the farm of E, C, Green, near Dres- en, High County Constable Whiting has just returned from an exhaus- tive search in the district and has found no trace of the animals, He bélieves the thieves have built up an extensive organization. Farniers of the district are becoming serious- ly alarmed. So far the raiders have confined their activities almost entirely to Dawn township. In Moore township three sheep were stolen some weeks ago. The gang that police Believe is op- erating, started their activities early in the summer when a cali was tak- en from a stable, led down the road for nearly a mile and then butchered behind a hedge. Since then there has been a constant disappearance of livestock, Until now, never more than one cow was taken. at a time. Where the stolen cattle are being taken is puzzling the police. There is no wild land in Dawn township where animals could be hidden until it was safe to market them.

ASHENHURST, Principal ad some for MOTORS CRASH | AT INTERSECTION Damage Done Both Cars in Campbellford as Autos oe Collide Campbellford, Sept. 8--Dust blew at the intersection of River and Rear streets when two cars came to grief. Both cars are this year's models. Dr. Longmore was proceeding south on Rear street when R, W. Scott ap- peared on the corner coming east on River street. The two collided. Mr. Scott's car was turned half round, and left on the east side of the in- tersection in a more or less battered condition. No one was injured. From information received = from Mr, Scott and eye-witness it ap- pears that neither driver was going very fast, but the trees on the corn- year 1866 an? has a most unique impossible to see another car till both are out on the intersection. At the present time, this corner is sub- ject to heavy traffic on account of the retour necessary to paving op- erations. Ordinarily the vehicular traffic is comparatively light. From general appearances, Mr. Scott's car got much the worst of the accident, The left side of the body is badly dented, the running board and fenders are practically demolish- ed, and the right rear wheel is broken. The mechanics who were summoned to remove the cars ex- pressed the opinion that there might be some "internal injuries." The doctor's car appeared to be more fortunate. His left front fen- der, headlight, and axle are badly battered, but otherwise his car seems to have come through unscathed. Both cars are covered by insurance. They were removed to the Meikle- john garage. Half an hour was re- quired before the intersection was entirely clear for traffic.

Mr. Twist, an American tourist, and his seventeen-year-old son, who have been holidaying at Fee's Landing, went out fishing in a rowboat, and when near the rice bogs, they start- ed to cast for bass. Both men were standing, when a sudden gale drifted their boat on a snag, precipitating both men into the water. Neither of the men could swim, and clinging to the boat they called for help, but it was almost an hour before their crics were heard by Miss Essie Woods, daughter of Thomas © Woods, who lives on a nearby farm. Miss Woods hastened to the water's edge, and being quite accustomed to handling a boat, managed to reach the spot in a frail craft, which they kept for | their own private use, and heroically aided in keeping the drowning men above water until help arrived.

He had been playing around with his brothers carlier in the evening, but got tired and said he would go up to the car and rest. Instead of doing that he decided to walk home to the coun- try, but unfortunately took the oppo- site direction. While a search was being carried on, to locate the little fellow Albert Klein returned to the town with him about 11.30 p.m, About a mile from town Mr. Klein, who was on his way home, overtook the boy running along the side of the road, crying. Mr. Klein, who was just leaving town when the alarm was given, recognized the little fel- low as being the one sought, picked him up, and brought him back to town. The little fellow, in explaining his departure, said he was going tc walk home, and it being a nice bright moonlight night, and not realizing how far it really was, started out alone.
