The Heense number is 115-400. CAR 18 FOUND The Cadillac sedan automobile which was stolen at Toronto on Monday night from Leader Lane was located by police in Ottawa yesterday, according to information reaching the palice office here, The car was thé property of F, B, John- son, G,M.C,, and was stolen in ten minutes, while its owner was away. CLOUDY AND COOL Moderately cold, mostly cloudy and with light snow, is the verdict of the weatherman for tonight and tomorrow. The north-east winds also predicted are expected to perhaps bring the snow, al- though of course, the snow may decide to abstain from falling for yet another day. The man who writes the probs, is at least faith- ful in his snow predictions. COMPLAINT MADE Complain, was been made to the chief of police regarding a young man who has been peddling from door to door ,and purporting to be a representative of ex-service men. The young man is not himself a returned soldier, it is understood. An official of the Canadian. Legion today stated that this man was not in any way a representative of the Oshawa Branch of the uanadian Legion, which discourages such appeals to the people's sympathies, and urged that the citizens should adopt the principle of refusing to listen to pleas which do not bear the approval and sanction of the local legion branch. In other cit- ies, doubtful schemes have been exposed by the Legion taking this kind of action to protect the public and it has been found very effec- | tive in curbing the activities of outsiders in appealing to public sympathy on the ground of secur- [ing assistance for ex-service men.

Charles Larmer was elected first vice-president, and Charles Law was re-elected secretary-treasurer, The five past presidents of the association, R. A. Wadge, W. B, Rundle, H. Rice, L, Fisher and H. L. Harding, were named honorary presidents. The officers elected were: President, Warren Dearborn; first vice-president, Charles Larmer®; sec- ond vice-president, T. J. Sheridan; secretary-treasurer, * C. W. Law; assistant secretary, F. Cowle; show superintendent, L. Fisher; assistant show superintendent, V, Clymer; directors, J. Brooks, T. Wragg, H.

Cly- mer, Enthusiasm Shown Enthusiatic brief addresses were given. by the new president, the re- tiring president Mr, Rundle, and other members of the club, in which satisfaction was expressed with the 1928 show and the prospects for 1929, During the year $80 had been spent in new equipment for the exhibition, and this year it is expected that more show coops will be bought to accommodate the increasing number of entries being received for the show. The auditors' report, which was received and accepted, showed that there was a small balance on hand, after paying off some old accounts, and that $345.50 has been paid out in prize money at the show. This was slightly more than the actual revenue from entires, gate receipts, etc, at the show, but donations from private individuals and grants from the city and the government had overcome the deficit. Poultry Short Course Consideration was given to a let- ter from W. M. Croskery, agricul- tural representative for Ontario County, which stated that a short course in fruit, vegetables and poul- try would be held here March 5 to + 8, inclusive. The association decided to endeavor to secure Rotary Hall for the course if possible, and to ask that the courses be presented in the afternoon and evening, with the poultry lectures in the evening, for the convenience of poultry raisers who are employed in the factories during the day.

CHURCH Many Were Turned Away from Presentation By Toronto Players TALENTED, ARTISTS Return Visit May Be Made to Oshawa in the Near Future King Street Nnited Church was crowded to the doors last evening and a number of people were turned away when the dramatic club of Simpson Avenue United Church, To- ronto, presented Eugene G. Hafer's well-known play "Sonny Jane." The committee responsible for bringing the dramatic club to the city, are considering having it return in the near future and present another play for the benefit of those who were unable to see last night's pro- duction, The club was under the director- ship of T, F, White and Mr. White is to be congratulated upon the ex- cellent manner in which this play was presented. The furniture for the stage was kindly loaned to the church by the Luke Furniture Com- pany and depicted the room in the Foster home in the town of Orchard Centre in spring. Teh cast of characters is as fol- Jove: Peggy Foster, who runs the oster boarding house, Miss Evelyn Watts; Lucille Brander, a pretty neighbor, Miss Eunice Touzell; Pansy, the slowest hired girl in the world, Miss Kay Spence, Mrs. Amelia Spitzendorf three times mar- ricd and willing to try again, Miss Thelma spence; Ruby Wade, who is engaged in newspaper work, Miss Vesta Thompson; Nancy Wade, an unexpected visitor, Miss Ida Seed- house; Sonny Jane Marquard, the little miss who started the war, Miss Phylis Touzell; Charles Mitchell, the enemy, Mr. Cecil Hill; Sam Streck, enemy number two, on whom Mrs. Spitzendorf has designs, Mel Forres- ter; Larry Randolph, enemy number three, Rupert Forrester; Joe Mar- tin, who aspires to be metropolitan, Harry Johnson; Freddie Beadle, the shiek of Orchard Centre, Charles Ashley. Although the entire company pleased the audience the mirth pro- voking roles of Pansy, Mrs. Spitzen- dorf and Sam Streck, portrayed by Miss Kay Spence, - Miss Thelma Spence and Mr. Mel Forrester, res- pectively drew the more hearty ap- plause and more laughter from those in attendance. These young actresses and actors show remarkable ability in comedian roles.

Dear Sir:--You have opened a fund which was started in Canada by the Toronto Globe to aid miners in the Old Country. Now in your columns it is known as the "British 'Miners' Fund," which would lead readers to believe that it | is to aid miners in Scotland, England and Wales, and in the "Globe" it is known as the "Welsh Miners' Fund," and upon reading of it in the Globe, it seems as if it is for Welsh miners only. Perhaps I am wrong, but if it is for Welsh miners only, I think the fact should be published. For the benefit of "Welsh Rare Bit" whose , letter appeared last night I may state that it does not take a microscope to find that The T. Eaton Co. and Imperial Oil Com- pany gave $10,000 cach to the fund, also others too numerous to men- tion, Yours truly, Oshawa Forever. (It is our understanding that the Lord Mayor's Fund to which The Oshawa - Times fund will be added is for the destitute miners of both England and Wales.--Ed.) fire, He was rushed to the office of Dr, Givenn where fiirst aid was rendered and then removed to the hospital where it was found that he had been badly burned about the face and arms. A number of years ago Mr, Gordon resided at Thorn- ton's Corners and lived at the place now occupied by Hiram Drew. He is well remembered here and his wife was Miss Annie Sturgess, sis- ter of Mrs. Harold Lick.
