C. R. de- Pencier. The parade was headed by the band of the Salvation Army, and the turnoul, of members of the order, both men, women and children, was the largest seen here in years. The local lodge has in the past made great strides and added greatly to its membership and community in: fluence, The fine weather contrib- uted largely to the turnout and made the parade and church service very successful.

(Special to The A Chevrolet Four Ninety automo- bile, shipped from the Export De- partment of the General Motors at Oshawa two months ago to South Africa, is making a record in that country for speed and efficiency per- haps unequalled by any car made to- day. Yesterday the following cable- gram, which speaks for itself, sent to the New York office from Cape- 1 | | and time of stress, men pictured In the words of the hymn, "Where duty calls, or danger, he never wanting there." To the women members of the Or- der the rector pointed out how in the past few years the influence of wom- en in the community, and their splendid character and sacrifice dis- played, had received their reward m that today women were occupying some of the highest offices in the Usie of the state, and that today for "the first time Canada had a woman representative in the House of Com- mons. There was a danger, how- ever, the rector warned, that the entry of women into public life might detract from home life. Wom- an was the greatest factor in the home. As Napoleon bad said, "Give France good mothers and I have no fear for France." The same would apply to Canada today. To the juveniles Rev, \Mr. dePen- cier stated that they were starting out in life with a splendid heritage before them. They had the power to make or mar their lives, and in a sense were the architects of their own fortunes. As the Sunday School was the cradle of the church, so the juveniles were the nursery of the senior lodge. God's Eternal Purposes The theme for the address was "The Eternal Purposes of God." Rev. Mr. dePencier sought to prove that from the very beginning of time, when at creatidh God said, "Let us make man in our own image," God bad worked through societies, fam- flies, or organizations, and that from the beginning man had worked hand in hand with the Almighty, fol- lowing His methods for the better- - ment of mankind and the world at large. The strength of any such so- ciety as that before him should be the average strength of the individ- ual, multiplied by the number of iu- dividuals in it. The main thought was that such a society as the Sons of England, working along God's plans, not by individual but by organized effort, could accomplish much. As to what God's purpose was for the human race, Rev. Mr. dePencier stated that it was mot God's purpose that the human race should live a life of ease, happiness and luxury, for, ir such were the case, there would be produced a race of imbeciles and de- generates in time. ; There were periods of time iu the world's history, the speak poiat- ed out, for example periods of cru- elty, when it was very difficult for man to discern any purpose being worked out by God. Nevertheless, there was the unseen hand at the helm, the human race was not left like a helpless eraft going over Ni- = mgara Falls, or 2 blind man travers- ing an unknown road. The Hebrew prophets of old, the prophets of his- tory and science or the Christian era, were in accord with the concep- as the waters cover the sea. Rev. Mr. dePencier trusted that the day would come when every man would have an opportunity to devel- op the best that was in him for the Reports that told of a year of many difficulties, yet of comparative success and reason for gratification for future prospects, were presented at the annual meeting of the Oshawa Y. M. C. A. directors and members, held last evening in the Board room. As a community institution the "Y" in the past twelve months has filled a greater place than ever be- fore, no fewer than 17 organizations and clubs having made use of the building for their socials and meet- ings. Its religious, girls' and boys' work have all been extended, while in a period of a little over two months the helping hand has been extended to over 200 young men coms ing to the town. Financially the institution tod is irk better shape than for some ti past, although not yet on as sound a financial basis as the directors would like. The campaign of last August made possible the liquidation of many outstanding liabilities, and exten- sive repairs and renovations to the building, which is better equipped now that real community work than for sime years pas by interested workerg Oshawa Y.

It was contemplated during the campaign to put in a new central heating plant at a cost of $4,000, but owing to the fact that the campaign objective was not realized, some of the directors thought it imadvisable to proceed with this work.

Recently a heavy expenditure of $400 had been incurred when the pipes leading to the plunge were found to be leaking, but it was ab- solutely necessary because the foundation of the building was en- dangered. President Hall was con- fident of the future. He believea thar a good season's work could be looked forward to, not so much in the summer months, but early in the fall, when a financial and member- ship campaign would be undertak- en, after which the institution would be in a position to do good service for the men and boys of Oshawa. The Y.M.C.A., the president stated, was deserving of the support of the men of Oshawa and the community at large, and men who felt that they did not have time to devote to it be- cause of other duties should stana by the institution and let some of the other duties go. Secretary's Report Secretary G. L. Galley presented the following comprehensive report of the year's work, although handi- capped by the fact that he has only been here a few months: To the PresiGen:, Board of Direc- tors and Members: . Gentlemen: Although I have only the Oshawa Young Men's {Christian Association, it gives me great pleasure to be able to report, in the history of the Oshawa Young Men's Christian "Assocation. And we wish at this time to give thanks to our Heavenly Father for His care and guidance through another year. in the short time that I have been connected with the local Association I have learned that the citizens of Oshawa appreciate faithful, Chris tian service, and your present staff trust by the help of God, to so live and work for the uplift of men and boys, that the citizens of this beau- tifulc and prosperous town will not be disappointed in their efforts. Work of Directors To the directors of the Association iI would say that you have dome a wonderful piece of work im renovat- ing and cleaning up this building. and looking after the interests of the Association in general. It has taken a lot of your valuable time, but I want to assure you that your time and money have been well spent. I understand that the work of re- novating, and the cleaning wp im general was mot started till late im the fall, which, of course, kept your program of activities late in getting started. But this year we will not have that to_contend with, and we will be ready in September to com- mence all of our activities. So let us take fresh courage, and trusting in the help of God we will enjoy one of the best Christian years, physical- history of the Oshawa Y.M.C.A. : Statistics Number of members 1921-22-- Business men, 82; young men, 53; seniors, 82; boys, 118; girls, 121, a total of 511.

Mr. Manning again held his audience as he always can an audience in South Oshawa. Mr. Manning went on to say: "There are no new theologies for christian there is only ome way, All other ways lead Jesus came to teach us how to live, and we should follow His way, which is the old way."

The effect of the new taxation on the manufacture of cars however, will be practically that automobiles manufactured and sold in Canada will pay nine and one-half per cent on cars which sell for $1,200 or less fourteen and one-half per cent on cars which sell for more than $1,200. The tax is payable on all cars which were not sold at midnight on May 23. In the case of cars in the agents' hands on which orders had been placed and payments of money actually made, thereby effecting a bona fide sale, aithough delivery had not taken place by May 24 it is not expected that the tax will be levied. The tax does apply, however, to cars which have not been taken out of the warehouse on that date. The resolutions state: "that if an automobile is, on the 24th day of May, 1922, in the hands of a dealer and not sold to a bona fide user the tax shall be paid by such dealer when such automobile is sold." Provisions in the Budget resolu- tions respecting automobiles are: Automobiles adapted or adaptable for passenger use, valued at not more than twelve hundred dollars five per cent. Automobiles adapted or adaptable for passenger use, valued at more than twelve hundred dollars ten per cent. This is applicable to automobiles imported into Canada as well as to those manufactured in Canada. In the case of imported goods the tax is to be paid by the importer and on goods manufactured in Canada to be paid by the manufacturer. The taxes set forth above are "on the duty paid value in addition to any duty or tax that may be payable under the Special War Revenue Act 1915 or any other statute or law." The taxes of five and ten per cent respectively are therefore in addition to the Sales Tax, which, being in- creased fifty per cent brings the to- tal taxes up to 9% per cent on cars up to $1,200 and: 14% per cent on cars valued at above that figure. .jof the new Olds Eight car made in . | Bo, town, South Africa, was received by Mr. R. 8.

Two Movie Films Show Usefulness Of Olds Eight Car Yesterday afternoon at the Regent Theatre a number of citizens enjoy- ed a private view of two films de- picting the usefulness and popularity rather than diminish. Spend Night in Kingston. A Kingston despatch says: The unemployed army of the ex-soldiers who are marching to Ottawa to lay before the Government the claims and conditions of the veterans who seek employment, spent Sunday night in the city and left at 10 o'clock Monday morning for Gananoque. The marchers left stronger than they en- tered Kingston, 25 recruits having been secured. They entered the city shortly af- ter 6 o'clock Sunday night, being escorted by the local veterans' band and a delegation from the Army and Navy Veterans. The trekkers were taken to the Army and Navy head- quarters where they were served with a bountiful meal, being cordi- jally welcomed by Commandant Evans. Attend Public Meeting After eating the men went to the Armories for a public meeting. There was a large concourse of citizens present and the visiting veterans were given a hearty reception. Com mandant Evans gave an address of welcome, and speeches were also de- livered by W. F. Nickle, M.L.A., and General A. E. Ross, MP. The lat- ter said he was not a member of the Government, but he would be in Ottawa when the marchers ar- rived and if there was anything We could do or say for them he would cheerfully serve them. The speaker felt that when ex-soldiers asked for bread they should not be given a stone. Men who were seeking only the privilege to work should be rd and considered. gh veterans reached and left Kingston in charge of Mr. Riley, Second in Command, "General" Mc- Donald. the C der, having beeu brought to the Kingston General Hospital from Odessa suffering from sciatica.
