S, Applegath To Return To Native City--Founder of Canadian Chautauqua Rey. C. Sinclair Applegath, for the last three years pastor of the Method- ist Church, Port Hope, has accept- ed a call to become pastor of Emer- ald St. Methodist Church, Hamilton. The call to Mr. Applegath was ex- tended by unanimous vote of the offi- cial board of the Emerald St. church. Mr. Applegath is well known to mem- bers of that church, as it was in that district of Hamilton where he was raised, and worked before entering the ministry. His first charge, too, after being ordained, was in Hamil- ton. M. Applegath was also for a time assistant pastor of Eaton Mem- orial Chugeh, Toronto. A During his pastorate in Port Hope there has heen a large increase in the membership, and the congregations have been the largest in years. Mr. Applegath last year organized and was. the President and managing di- rector of the Canadian Chautauqua Institution Limited, which operated Epworth .Inn. at Muskoka Assembly P.O. 'This year that institution ds being greatly extended, a¥i@ the Port Hope congregation have granted Mr. Applegath two months leave of ab- sense. which is for the balance of the conference year, so that he can de- Xote his full time to the Chautauqua work, Emerald St. church have also given him leave of absemce for the first two months of his pastorate there, so that Mr. Applegath will not commence his work in his native city until September.

In April or May, 1920, Robin- son sold Greenaway. two animals fattened, for beef. These were afters wards slaughtered, and it is said that the flesh of one of them was unfit for use under the Public Health Act. The meat Inspector, Dr. 8. 8. Dick- inson, said he saw the earcase, or part of it. and that there was appar- although it would not be condemned absolutely it would be rejected as unfit for food. There seems to be, from what he says, in" the regula- tions a sharp distinction between the terms "condemned" and "reject- ed." "The defendant I find was abso- Jutely ipnocent and did not know of anything being wrong with thesé cattle, or either of them. It may fairly be assumed, although it is not proved, thet one of these apim- als was to some diseased at the time of the gale, althpugh it w mot shows to thy satisfaction t could mot have occurred bet slaughtering. Both Parties Innocent "The plaintiff brings action to re- cover back part of his money, or, for damages. Both parties I find imno- cent of any fraud in connection with the matter. The plaintiff relies on the principle of cases under the Con- tagious Diseases Act Dominion--I find it laid down in one case-- Nickle vs Harris, 1910, 14 W. L. R. Page 515, by Mr. Justice Newlands, that the vendor of diseased horses( glan- ders) could not recover on a liem| note, part of the purchase money of these horses, the sale being illegal pursuant to the Dominion Statute. It is expressly pointed out in this judgment that knowledge on the part of, the vendor is mot material under this act, that the sale is il- legal, knowledge or, mo knowledge. I do not find any case going so far as to say that even under the Con- tagious Diseases Act, that purchase money cap be recovered from the after a sale is completed, delivered and payment made, and both parties being innocent; but this case is mot mumder the UP TO STANDARD the time of the sale and thelpggtenrized milk is passable, but the The auxiliary class fcr hackward children, in connection with Oshawa public schools, authorized by the Board of Education a few months ago, is now in operation in the pub- lie library building, The class opened this week with Miss Rae, of Almonte, a specialist in this line of work, in charge, the class having 16 pupils, The room in the library, which is only temp- orary until the new schools are built, has been fitted with modérn desks and all necessary supplies will be purchased, The establishment of the auxiliary class: was the suggestion of Trustee AUXILIARY CLASS FOR BACKWARD CHILDREN NOW IN OPERATION Dr, D, 8. Hoig, of the Board of Edu- cation, who, because of his profes- sion, knew something of existing conditions in local schools, The Board 'decided to apply to the De- partment of Education for a medical survey of all children in the public schools, and it was when the report of the medical examiners came back, accompanied by a recommendation from School Inspector Hutchinson, that the Board decided to have such a class started here, Auxiliary ciasses of this nature, tried out in a few places in the pro- vince, have met with great success, The class brings Oshawa's education- al system up to a new high level, ALL MILK NOT Board of Health Will To-night Consider Report of ' Analyst During' the present month eight- een tests of milk sold in Oshawa were made by the local health auth. orities and five tests of cream, these tests being taken from the milk and cream of the farmers being deliver- ed at local dairies, getting as it were at the foundation of likely trouble. Three tests'of the milk and two of cream were not as high in butter fat as is generally expectéd from farm milk. Notification of the stand- ards of the milk and cream was giv- en the dairymen who warned the farmers concerned with the result that repeat tests show a marked im- provement. The local Health Department authorities, under Dr. McKay, are regularly and almost daily testing milk and cream in Oshawa this be- ing a new enterprise. This know- ledge alone {is showing a better standard of milk. Samples of milk from six local dairymen were taken on April 20th and forwarded to the Provincial Laboragory for bacteriological ex- amination ,the result being as fol- lows in the matter of bacteria per centimeter: 0. Lander 10,000 J. H. Horne George Hart H. M. Hinkson E. Purtelle over 2,000,000 and F. S$. Winter, 3,000,000, and showing colon bacilli. This shows the first three samples as being as cleag milk, the first two being equal to ecertified milk. Hinkson's for un- two samples of Purtelle and Winter are very bad and by showing 'colon bacilli are liable to be dangeromns, as colon bacilli is 4 germ of intestinal origin, liable t0 cause typhoid, se- cording to the Health Department officials. The Board of Health meets tonight and will decide as to what step to take concerning the last two samples.

AUTHORITIES Succumbed To Cold Blast of Last Week---Caravan Bound for Vancouver PARENTS FORTUNE TELLING am And Then All Was Forgotten With their faces and heart towards the great Indian ET the East, from whence they had come hoping to make well on this continent, a band of Hindu gypsies visited Oshawa last week. Their stay was brief. As they foretold the future in local places, and it seemed as if they might camp in these parts, the officers of the law stepped in and bade them move their caravan furtheron, From Montreal these strange travellers had come, and were bound for Vancouver, hoping to be able to sail from there #0 the great country from whence they come. The weather was mild as they approached Oshawa, and they pitched their tent and tied up old Dobin in a field between Courtice and Bowmanville, But there came a day last week when old King Winter eame back for a brief stay and made his pres- ence very much felt in the little tent pitched in the field, with no shelter from the cold blast and no fire with- in. Half of the tent was filled with hay for the horse, for Old Dobin fis indispensable to any BYPSy caravan. On the ground In the other half sat the parents and the kiddies, the lat- cold blasts. An old pipe had been secured, with one end in and an- other out of the tent. This was stuffed with paper and lighted to create heat, but the more the paper burned the more smoke invaded the crude domicile, and added to the misery. The second day of the cold snap a baby boy, three months old, was seized with the cold, followed later by pneumonia and convulsions, only to end in death. The : parents went through their Hindu antics as they realized that their baby was dying. Nearby neighbors visited the tent, saw the plight but like the priest in holy writ, "passed by on the other side," taking steps however, to notify the medical health officer of the township. Dr. Rundle. With the child's condition 50 serious it may be that those who saw its plight thought of a contag- ious disease and the consequences of taking in the child of wandering gypsies. When Dr. little tent, strangeness nessed, the & ng h the suffering family inside but cold, and the child in convulsions, away before anything could be done for it. At first the gypsies were frantic but later when the child was handed over for burial they became subdued. Never has such a scene been witnessed by the Dr. A few hours later the scene was changed.
