It was a performance the like of which will set a standard for other en- tertainments of its sort, Most of the patrons who attended the show are positive that nothing like it has been seen here, and so great is thé praise of it, that it is being consid- ed to have it repeated sometime next week. The two act play, "Too Much married" was a farce in every sense of the word. One could not keep a strajght face while this act was heing presented. It was divided into two parts, one scene being placed atthe first of the program and the second at the end, In this way the program was divided and layed out in such a manner that monotony was a thing out of the question for the audience. Musical features were excellent and two orchestras, the Regent Theatre orchestra and the Sid Smith and His Strombola band the latter presenting a turn on the stage, were splendid. The entire proceeds of the enter- _-- m-- tainment were placed in keeping for the aid of the 1929 Kinsmen's Kid- dies" Karnival which has now be- come an annual affair in Oshawa.

It is highly improbable that a mother gets to know her own baby within the first day or two," Taking the opposite view a Holt (Norfolk) reader writes claiming that mother instinct is supreme. "I was in Toronto General Hos- pital when my first baby was born, The nurse brought what she believed was my baby, but I took an instinct dislike to the child, I cried to the nurse and iniplored her to take it away, as I could never love it, "She left it with me, but I cried until a woman in the next bed sug- gested looking at the label on the baby's wrist. It bore another name, We called the nurse. My own baby was brought to me and turned out to be the baby I had always dreamed of. My mother instinct had told me the first baby was not my own," Returning from a six months' trip in South America Dr, Her- bert Dickey reported on arriving in New York that he had discovered a dying race of Indians in the jun- gle, who spend most of their time sleeping and smoking cocain, Motor We can Finance or Re-finance your Car or Truck-- Quickest Service--Lowest Rates, Compare our Rates with any other company.

Smith, in conversa- tion with The Times yesterday. Taking into consideration the a- mounts spent by other municipalities in hiring additional men for cleaning snow, Oshawa gets off fortunately, he said. In this city, when a heavy snow storm occurs, the Works de- partment arranges its schedule so that men employed in the relief work on sewers, etc., are temporarily pla- ced on the snow cleaning work, The new tractor-grader saves consider- able expense also, being an efficient snowplow, and ost the. only ad- ditionally expense is that of hiring teams to cart the snow from the streets, Our ancestors had their hard- ships but they never had to to listen to songs on the radio ending up with "that wonderful soap of mine' . [CITY AND DISTRICT NEWS MORE SNOW COMING As if not satisfied with the pres ent covering of snow, the weath- ermas is predicting more for to- day and tomorrow. 'I'ne probabil- ities, as handed out this morning indicate moderate cold tonight and still colder on Sunday. NO MARKETS TODAY The usual' department giving the latest financial news from the Toronto and New York Exchanges is missing from today' issue of The Times. This is on account of the stock and mining exchanges in these cities, as well as in Mont- real, being closed to enable the 'brokers to catch up with their books after heavy trading during the week.

'When the firemen arrived, the flames had acquired a firm hold on the par- titions. One line of hose was laid and half an hour later the fire was extinguished.

PTTTTYPYTTTTYY Weather's getting colder With cloudy skies, Winter's getting bolder, We may JSvimise, ! PY re i It is also surmised by the chap who wrote today's probs that we will have some more snow. Since the snow has been falling more or less all morning, we may take it for grant- ed that his surmise is right in this instance anyway. Snow yesterday almost took on the appearance of rain once or twice dur- ing the day, and nearly gave us the idea that another thaw was on the way, But apparently the end is not yet, and the white mantle will stay on the ground for a little longer. Friend Jim said last night "My new cook is very tall, but I don't expect she'll stay long." Tim suggested that if it got colder he might try to keep warm by read- ing some letters from an old flame.

An actor once burned with a de- sire to produce "You Never Can Tell," and he went to see G. B. 8S. to try to fix it up. But when ft came to terms the playwright sug- gested so impossible a figure that the actor could not even begin to consider it. So away he went, a disappointed man. Then an idea occurred to him. He went to a post office and sent Shaw the following wire: "Why not give me the play for nothing?" Shaw received the wire and was struck by the colossal cheek of the sender. In fact, he was so impress- ed that he promptly wired back an acceptance of the terms.

Two outstanding musical compositions, "Rigoletto" by Verdi and 'Echoes from Met- ropolitan Opera", arranged by To- bani, both of which are played generally by oniy the best bands, will be given, This concert is given entirely in aid of the Miner's Fund, to which all the proceeds will be given.

L. E. HUBBELL, | President, wa Kinsmen Club "Mandalay", | ren's Shelter New Children's Shelter For Oshawa This Year: Is a Real Probability % Children's Aid Society Has Appointed Committee to Secure Site for the Erec- _ tion of a New Building in 1929 --t-- MAY BE BUILT IN CENTRAL LOCATION Society Also Considers Ques- tion of a Day Nursery for Children of Working Mo- thers There is every possibility that a new Children's Shelter will be built for Oshawa this year, O. M. Alger, superintendent of the Children's Aid Society, stated to The Times this morning. A committee has been ap- pointed by the local Children's Aid Society, and this committee is work- ing on the choosing of a site for the proposed new building, The committee, which comprises H. P, Schell, T. H, Everson, J. A. Bickle and O, M. Alger, has been working for some time on the ques- tion of securing a site for the pro- posed shelter, and at the February meeting of the Society Thursday night, reported definite progress. The site considered most favorable by the committee is in a fairly central lo- cation in the city, but as the sale of the property has not yet been closed, no anouncement as to its Io- cation could be made, Mr. Alger said. Badly Needed It has been considered for some time by the Society that a new Chil- dren's Shelter building was needed. The present building, at 215 King street. west at the corner of Burk street, was a residence which was transformed for the purpose, and it has been found that this was not only inadequate but was quite un- suitable for the work. As soon as a site is secured, the building project will be proceeded With as rapidis as it is feasible to do so. 3 Day Nur The question of % baby creche "0! day nursery, for children whose mo» thers have to work during the day, was also diset , and a commit appointed to make a survey of th city and find how many mothers and children would be interested in the project. It was felt by the Society that in all probability it would found much to expensive for the city to undertake at this time, however. It was pointed out that this crech would necessitate not only indoo: accommodation but a playground where the children could enjoy thems selves, and would require the she pervision of a fulltime attendant, The Society meeting Thursday night was attended by a large nume ber of the members, and many items of routine business were discussed, An appreciation of the services of 0. M. Alger, as superintendent. of the Society was made in the form of a salary increase. b FORTUNE FOR POOR Merchant's Generous Gitt to City, of Glasgow.
