Oshawa Boy Scouts and Wolf Cubs held their first church parade on Sunday evening, when they mar- ched to King Street Methodist Church, where their Chaplain, Rev. A. M. Irwin delivered a powerful address. This was a most fitting way in which to open Scout Week and the members of the Troop listened with pleasure to the comprehensive re-| marks made by the speaker. Des- | pite the unfavorable weather a large congregation was present at the ser-| viee and all enjoyed having the hoys | with them. The speaker took for his "Jesus increased in stature and knowledge and in favor with God apd Man". *Life is the most en-| trancing subject which' can occupy | the mind of man and the mos splendid thing about life is growth" said Mr. Irwin." Keeping perfeci is the most tremedous task of a growing life; for the tendency to lob-sidedness is strong. Perfection ' is maintained by keeping such a proper balance of the life faculties! as to make life a unity. A ship] may he built in compartments quite | independent of one another but an | ideal life forms a well rounded unit | perfect in all relationships. ! "Jesus used corn as an illustra-| tion," continued Mr. Irwin, *"'which is perfect in the blade and in the ear, also in the full corn. on the ear, in each succeeding stage. The second stage well represents youth --~Boy Scouts--the stage of the charm of plume and silken tassel so susceptible to invisible injury. Swub- tle forces of evil invage and dam- age, the blight of which is revealed only at the harvest time. Each silk- on thread of the corn tassel stands for a potential harvest-kernel, but if crushed or injured leaves but a blighted place on a defective cob, unrevealed until the harvest. The youth stands likewise endangered. invisible injury threatens his man- aood days--cigarettes, evil associa- tions, soft indulgence, ete. Blasted harvests in human experience are s0 often due to insidious poison-- physical, mental, social, moral--in- stilled into unsuspecting youthful vears," said Mr. Irwin. "It is the office of scouting to de- velop the four-fold life and assist he boys to withstand the geheral tendency of the day, the tendency to | excess and gratification. Indulgence | in excess of things wished for, the | powers of resistenee, reduces self- | control, makes one a slave to cir-| cumstances, causes loss of initiative, and destroys character, the citadel of defence against the enemies of life.

There are tem such laws, the last of which is "a scout | is 10 be pure in thought and word | and deed." "We have seen it tried, and we rejoice in the results--growth in stature, knowledge, in reverence and in service. Amy such organization as will help to maintain that proper ! balance and make life a harmon- ious unit should receive strong sup- port." | text, HALBERT'S ELECTION | ONLY COST $332 Progressives of N.

ELECTRICAL STORM DID SLIGHT DAMAGE Lights Were Put Out Twice For Short Time By Lightning A violent electrical storm, unsual for this time of the year struck Osh- awa and district shortly after six o'clock Sunday evening, but so far as can be ascertained, very little damage was done. The storm came up suddenly, following a mild day, with considerable humidity in the air. Coming up as it did while peo- ple were preparing for church, sery- ices in all places of worship were interfered with. The electric lights went out twice, owing to the light- ning interfering with the switches on the high tension lines of the Hy- dro Electric Power Commission east of Oshawa. The lightning tripped the switches, throwing off the elee- trie current and these nad to be put on again by hand by the operators at the power houses. In the local churches and houses candles and coal oil lamps were resurrected from the shelves and brought into use. The storm was accompaned by a very heavy downpour"of rain. and the streets were like running rivers. The ice formation in Oshawa ereek above the bridge was broken and the water rose quite high, but on dam- age was done. The open air rinks were hard hit as the soft weather of Saturday had already made the ice very soft The Bell Telephone Companp re- port no damage from the storm be- yond the fact hat a few local tele- phones were temporarily put out of | commission. The lightning was not of the type that plays havoc with tel- | ephone apparatus. Manager Douglas explained on Monday. LIBRARY BOARD HOLDS INAUGURAL DR.

A | Other Officers Re-Elected fm | FRAME HOUSE ON LAKE SHORE BURNER OCCUPANTS ESCAPE Property Occupied By Mr. and Mrs. Williams--Owned By B. J. Rogers MUCH FURNITURE IS LOST Sunday Night's Rain Saved The Barn From Being Set On Fire b About six o'clock yesterday moru- ing, fire completely destroyed the frame house of Mr. B. J. Rogers, which is situated on the Lake Shore on the first side road west of the town, and only a small portion of the contents was saved, The house was occupied hy Mr. and Mrs. Wil- liams and their two children. About five o'clock Mr. Williams had lighted the fire in the Kitchen and had gone to the barn, which was only a short distance to the eoast of the honse, to do the chores. A short time later, on going out of the barn he noticed flames issuing from the roof near the chimney. He immediately rushed to the house 10 waken the family, all of whom were still sleeping. Suceessful in arous- ing them and getting them safely out of the building, he then devoted his attention to saving as much of the contents as possible, Very little clothing was rescued from the flames and much of the furniture was des- troyed. It was practically impossible to cheek the fire, which is thought 10 have started in the chimney follow- ing the lighting of the fire in the stove. Nothing remains of the stor- ey and a balf structure except the foundation and walls, the loss sus- tained will be considerable. The contents were insured for $400, while $1500 as the amount placed on the building itself. It was indeed fortunate that Mr. Williams detected the flames as soon as he did, otherwise loss of life would undoubtedly 'have resulted, and but for the heaVy rains on Sun- day night the barn would possibly have been wiped out also. Burning coals from the house lighted on the straw stock but did not igmite the straw as it as thoroughly soaked with water.

The appeal, it is understood, will he heard in Torontp on or ahout March 6th. G. W. Ma- son, K. C., will represent the appel lantg, while the appeal will be oppose ed by the Town of Oshawa. Notien of appeal is now in the hands of Col Grierson, Town Solicitor, The award made to Scott broth- ers was $1,500, of which amouai $800 was for 1.71 aeres of land uged tor market gardening and light farm ing; $100 for fencing and $650 for other damages. The long list of claims made against the town total led over $15,000, although this amount was sct out in the original claim. The Board of Arbitrators di- rected that the Town of Oshawa should pay all the costs, but as yet no final settlement has been made It is understocd that the amount of the award has not jet been paia over. The principal ground for appeal is said to be regarding the amount al lowed by the arbitartors for land, al- though other awards are not consid ered satisfactory. Whether any le- gal point relating to the finding of the arbitrators is involved is not known. The appeal will be heard by importance of any recommendations his committee may bring in.

Some Conditions Found Moffatt in this town Coun. exists erally, there as he had witnessed. one house of four rooms," Coun. Moffat stated, "in which 5 children and three adults were living. Hens, pigeons, and in some cases, COWS, are kept in close proximity to the houses. On Olive avenue there 1s a block of houses in conjunction with which there are outhouses, which | might be mildly described as unsan- | itary and dangerous. The remarkable feature here is that the sanitary sewer is on the street and nome of the houses are connected therewith The greatest danger to the commun- ity as a whole lies in the fact that children living under such ; condi- tions are daily coming imto contact and mingling with other children who ave thus necessarily exposed to any disease that may break out by reason of these conditions. Another extremely dangerous situa- tion was disclesed where 1wo cows were kept in 2 small shed in the rear of a house under very unsanitary conditions. The milk from these cows was being sold and distributed. Coun. Moffatt stated that at another place there was found two cows that had to be clipped to rid them of ver- min, so had had become their condi- tion. There is a field for some good work to be done which will be a ben- ofit not only to the people directly concerned. but to the community at large, "said Coun.
