ED BY BOARD OF EDUCATION Public School . Attendance for January Below Normal (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, Feb, 14.--Although the total enrollment in the Whitby Public Schools is 486, the average attendance during January was shown to be 369 in the report of the principal, R. A. Sennett, pre- sented at the first regular meeting of the Board of Education held in the council chambers last night. Mr, Sennett pointed out that this + was but 71 per cent. of the total possible attendance. Large num- bers of pupils, he stated, had heen absent from school on account of illness, Principal A. Archibald, of the High School, presented figures to show that its average attendance was 185 during January, or over 90 per cent, It was quite evident to the board that the high school pupils had not been affected to , the same extent by illness as those aitending the public schools. , C. F. McGillivray, secretary, vo 'a communication from F, J. Meclntyre giving prices for the cost of installing a ventilating fan in ihe high school. No action was taken however, Agricultural Classes That a change be made in the advisory agricultural committee of the high school was suggested by Mr Archibald to the board, Mr, Arciibald stated that the majori- ty of pupils in the agricultural ciasses came from the neighboring rural districts whereas the advis-|, ory commitice included practically none other than Whithy citizens. He thought that it would be advis- able to add the names of a citi- zen of the Brooklin district and a ' eitizen of the Pickering district to this commiltee, The board consid- ered the suggestion favorably and promised to give it prompt con- sideration. "A request from the high and public' schools for certain supplies such as maps, chalk and foolscap was referred to the management commit.ee, In future if the prin- cipals of the school require ordin- ary supplies costing less than ten dollars they will be able to pro- cure the same by using requisition forms which will be supplied by the hoard. Several members ex- pressed the opinion that this would be a more husiness-like way than the present 'hit and miss method" as they characterized it. Dr, H. IL. Bascom, who has been re-elected chairman of the board, presided at last night's meeting. Those present included the secretary, Dr. C. F. McGilliv- ray; 'Trustees W, M. Jermyn, Joseph King, Geo. Ross, W. J. H. Richardson, F. L. Beecroft, Wal- ter Bunn, 4G. M. Goodfellow, Her- bert Webster and Wm. Harden. "HOCKEY NOTES Last night's match provided a genuine treat for the large crowd of fans who gathered. in Burns' ice palace, Both the locals and the visit- ors gave all they were worth and provided a bang-up brand of hockey spiced with thrills, spills and hard checking. Day by day in every way the O.H.A. intermediate trophy comes closer and closer. Whitby's repre- sentatives play their next game with Tweed. It's a long jump but long jumps may be expected from now on and the more the better as far as the fans arc concerned. As usual the referee filled a diffi- cult bill last night. Michael let little slip by him but it is surprising to know how much hockey the board- side roosters really are aware of. In their opinions the referee is al- ways partial to cither one side or the other depending upon which team they are supporting. As a rule the man on the ice with the bell sees more and knows more than anyone e¢lse ar the game, If he didn't he wouldn't be there. Jack Sleightholm, Dick Hall and Hawes are largely responsible for Lakeficld's failure to score. Sleight- holm and Hall teamed up well on defense while Hawes took good care of anything that came towards his citadel, Manager Rice and Atkinson gave Smith plenty of support on the wings last night. Smith prove him- self the goal-getter but his efforts would not have been effective had it not been for the hard work of the wing men. : Bradley and C. Sleightholm were always ready to relieve when neces- sary.

TITLE BY 4-3 DECISION Round Tied 3-3 at End of First Period, Last Goal Scored in Third (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, Feb, 13.--~In one of the season's best contested games at Burns' Arena, last night, the local in- termediates applied a good coating of whitewash to the Lakefield team to the tune of 2-0, winning the round 4-3. A crowd of 1,500 fans witnessed the exhibition and howled their heads off as they watched the two tcams battle for the right to continue in the O.H.A., race, Lakefield came here with a one-goal lead tucked In their belts and an evident "What we have we hold" manner, It was a merry battle right from the drop of the puck in the first per- iod, but in ten minutes of play Smith had tied the round when he found the visitors' net after Atkinson had shot and the puck bounded off the goalies' pads. From then on it was a touch-and-go affair but the local sup- porters had a chance to become hoarse-voiced and wild-eyed when Smith notched the goal that won the round on a beautiful combination play with Jack Sleightholm. Eight min- utes of hard effort on the part of Lakefield followed but Whitby was still in the lead and threatening to score. again when the final bell sounded. First Period The game opened fast with the Lakefield team on the offensive. On the first rush, L. Sabatino was knock- ed out when Manager Rice gave him the boards, Rice getting the first pen- alty of the game. Lakefield had the local boys all bottled up in their own end of the rink, but Hawes was here, there and everywhere at the same time, preventing scores by his sensa- tional goal-keeping. After about 10 minutes of play, Smith broke away, circled the defence and put one by Hamlin so fast that he didn't even sce it, This made the Lakefield boys try harder, but to no avail and the period ended with the round tied at 3 all. Second Period The period opened with some good three-man rushes by both teams, Stabler and Smith were paying too much attention to each other and were sent to the cooler for a rest. L. Sabatino broke his stick but still kept chopping away at the puck and the crowd got a big laugh out of it. Penalties were being given out pretty freely by the referee, Everybody had a man and stuck to him like a leech. J. Sabatino was the victim of a lot of booing in this period and incident- all a few prize bumps by the players in general. Sabatino broke his sec- ond stick this period, aparently he is some wood-chopper ~ Third Period Whitby opened fast and before the period was ten minutes old Smith notched his second goal of the night on a pass from J. Sleightholm. This put Whitby one up on the round and try as they could, Lakefield could not put in the equalizer. Wanamaker was used quite freely by Lakefield in this frame, but his only purpose seemed to be in mixing things. His presence on the ice proved of little assistance to the visitors. -The locals were still going strong and were forcing the play avhen the game ended. The linc up: Lakefield--Goal, Hamblin; right de- fence, L. Sabatino; left defence, Woods; centre, D. Sabatino; wings, Bluett and Stabler; alternates, Wan- amaker and Warner. Whitby--Goal, Hawes, right de- fence, J. Sleightholm; left defence, Hall; centre, Smith; wings, Rice and Atkinson; alternates, Bradley and C. ASK COUNTY T0 PAY PORTION OF Request Presented By Depu- tation from the Village of Sunderland (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, Feb, 14. -- A request that the county pay that ARH of the main street of Sunderland con- necting with the Whitby-Lindsay rovincial highway was made be- ore the county council in session from the village headed by Wil- liam Brethour, chairman of the police commissioners. The depu- tation contended that Sunderland is the only police village within the county wherein a sireet had not been paved. They pointed out that the village main street forms an important connecting link be- tween the county road leading from Uzbridge and the provincial highway. The police trustees of the village wished to see the pav- ing done this year as a strip of provincial highway on the out- skirts of the community 1s to be paved shortly and an economy could be effectel by letting the con- tract through the provincial gov- ernment. The Village's Share Reeve George Sweetman, of Scugog township, chairman of the county roads committee, wished to know whether Sunderland would be willing to pay a portion of the cost of paving. In answer to this question Mr. Brethour stated that the minister of highways had in- formed him that the county was required to bear the cost of pav- ing to the width of twenty feet. If a wider pavement were required he was certain that the village would assume the extra cost. Reeve John Ross of Thorah township pointed out that in the case of an incorporated village or town, the county was required to bear a portion of the cost of pav- ing any county road leading through the village or town. He did not think however, that this appli- ed to a police village. An Optional Matter "This is an optional matter with the county," declared Reeve G. M. Forsyth of Pickering township. "No doubt the county road commit- tee will give it every considera- tion." Reeve Roy Park and Deputy Reeve Umphreys of Brock town- ship, both spoke in favor of the pavement and passed a resolution referring the question to the coun- ty roads committee. Members of the deputation includ- ed: William Brethour, H. Brandon, H E, Oliver, Rev. C. B. Daniels, J. Christie, L. Pineham, D. Rundle, W. Philps and J. Taylor. All ad- dressed the council and also con- gratulated Warden J. A. Dobson upon his election to the warden- ship. Ask Government to Forego Contributions | for Highway Work | Whitby, Feb. 14--A communication referring to a resolution passed by the Brock township council urging that the counties be not required to contribute 20 per cent to the cost of building and maintaining provincial highways was received by 'the county council yesterday from Mr. M.

GOST OF STREET : here yesterda by a deputation | SENTENGE UPHELD IN TORONTO CASE Joseph Tense, Age 18, Must Serve 7 Years With Lash for Robbery Toronto, Feb, 14.--The appeal of Joseph Tense, aged 18, against Magistrate Browne's sentence of seven years in Portsmouth peniten- tiary and twenty strokes of the strap imposed when Tense was con- victed of having with John Nichol- son robbed Louis Ralsherg in his Yonge street shop on January 21, was unanimously dismissed yester- day in First Divisional Court at Osgoode Hall, In announcing the dismissal of the appeal Chief Justice Sir Wil- liam Mulock said: "We have no sypathy for the prisoner. Supposing Nicholson had shot ana silted the storekeeper, then the charge against this prisoner. would have been murder," Counsel for Tense argued that the lad did not know ns compan- ion was going to produce or use a revolver, and further, that if sent to the penitentiary, Tense would come out a--hardened criminal, Justice Hodgins replied: *"Sup- posing he did what worse could he do than what he did on this occa- sion? Are we to allow them to go about 'the streets with revolvers and then say: "Don't send them to jail because they may come out hardened criminals?" A letter was sent to the court on behalf of the boy by Rev, Father Longo, who wrote: 'His mother would receive the lashes instead of him, I am begging for the suffer. ing parents, not for the boy's free- | dom, but for a more iement sen- | tence." od ster % What Others Say # 0 a A A J a ME A 2d THE MINERS' FUND To the Editor of The Times, Oshawa, Dear Sir: 1 wish to commend The Times for your stand in sponsoring the | Miners' Fund for Oshawa, and | am also of the opinion like *Dis- gusted" in last night's issue, that more people could give to this fund, so those who have not given yet will have an opportuni y to give next Sunday evening, when the Oshawa Citizens' Band ho.d their concert in aid of this fund. Interested Citizen, | THE C.N.R, CROSSING TANGLE | To the Editor, | Dear Sir: Being an interested taxpayer in this Valencia Road area, I would like to make a few suggestions, which, if «were carried out, would be more beneficial to the residents of this particular section, business deliveries, doctors, also the muni- cipality which would benefit from taxes from buildings which would be erected, on now vacant lots, of which a large percentage are own- ed by prospective home builders, who are holding back on account of no proper roadway. What has the township of East Whitby done for the taxpayers of this section, in the last ten years, since the first dwelling was erected. They put a few loads of gravel on Cordova Rd. last year which had been needing it very badly for a long, long time, The residents have been putting up with this and waiting patiently, thinking they would eventually get something in the form of a road- way. Now getting back on to my main subject. Would it not be better if the municipality were to purchase a strip of land for a roadway out, running east from Valencta Road, through Mr. Wilkinson's property, parallel with the C.N.R. track and build a bridge across the creek and continue the road on to Simcoe St., near the C.N.R. station, this would no doubt cost quite a bit more, but would be more beneficial to all, and avoid a possible danger of an- other level crossing? Regarding the proposed roadway which was surveyed, why could¢snot the coun- ¢il approach Mr. Enoch Thompson and have this closed, no doubt Mr. Thompson would be glad enough to han dthis over to the council as his share towards a proper roadway. This land could be sold as lots and help to reduce the cost of a bridge and a roadway, which would be only what was right to the people of Valencia Road and the town- ship of East Whitby. Hoping the residents, readers and council will favor this proposition. R. WARD.

Tabb, of Bowmanville, called and wanted her daughter to accomp- any her home. Mr. Cox went in search of his wife and found her on the chicken-house floor with a deep gash on the side of her head, the result of her fall.

MUSIC STUDY CLUB RECITAL PROGRAM MUCH ENJOYED Evening of Canallian Music | Presented By Talented Artists (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, Feb. 14--One of the finest programs ever given at the Music Study Club was that presen- ted Wednesday evening under the convenership of Mrs, L, Bingham and Mrs, Cecil Dudley. The fact that the subject for the evening was "Canadian Music" may have aroused greater enthusiasm, as anything of a patriotic nature seems to have a greater appeal than almost anything else, and after hearing the papers read, one was literally astounded at the wealth Canada possesses along musical lines, Artists Did Well While all the artists excelled them- selves in the songs they sang, spec- ial mention should be made of Miss Gwen Williams and John Kent who who gave two instrumental numbers, each for two pianos, the first being Mozart's "Concerto in 1) Minor" and "Rondo Allegro," Miss Williams playing first piano, The second number was "Hungarian Fantasy" by Liszt with John Kent at the first piano, Both numbers were marvel- ously rendered by these young art- ists. , Miss Wililams having played here' before, the audience expected and received a rare treat in hearin her again but were hardly prepare for the excellent and masterly style in which Mr. Kent carried out his part of the difficult performance, this being his first public appearance in town since pursuing his musical career in Toronto. Bowmanville may well feel proud of producing two such talented musicians and we hope that in the near future they will ap- pear here again when a larger num- ber may have the pleasure and pri- vilege of hearing them, Paper Read . The program opened by all singing one verse each of "O Canada" and "The Maple Leaf" after which Mrs, Bingham read a short paper on the composers of these two songs, C, Lavallee and Alexander Muir, a picture of the latter being thrown on the screen. Miss Jean Ramsay sang a group of three songs by Canadian composers , "My Own Dear Canada," Chas. F. Harrison, "Land of Glad Tomorrows, Gordon V. Thompson and "Hush-a-by My Baby," Bertha L. Tamblyn, a former Bowmanville girl). These were all well rendered and much enjoyed. Mrs. Hubert Foster, whom it is al- ways a pleasure 3 to hear,also sang a group of three "A Good Bye" and "Since We Parted" by Albert Ham and "The Open Road" by Gena Branscombe, Miss Helen Yellow- lees in a very sweet voice sang "An Iroquois Serenade," Clarence Lucas, "Shamrocks," Healey Willan and "Master I Will Follow Thee," Paul Ambrose. The last musical number consisted of two songs, "Dreaming of My Old Home Sweet Home," Geoi- frey O'Hara and "Cheery Song," David D. Slater, sung by George E. Chase who was in splendid voice and delighted everyone with his singing. The music was interspersed by a splendid paper pr a, Dudley. This was divided into var- ious classes and read by wih. uit members of the Club, Mrs, Bing- ham read "the part partaining to Canadian music. Miss Wickett read short sketches of a number of Cana- dian composers. Miss A, Caldwell's part covered Canadian singers, or- ' ganists, festivals, choruses, bands, etc, while Mrs. C. Arthur Cawker read the concluding portion on folk songs. At the conclusion of the programs, Mrs. Wm, Adams in a very gracious manner, moved a hearty vote of thanks to the assisting artists, men- tioning specially the kindness of Miss Williams in aking the time to come down and play for us, also Mr, Kent for the pleasure he had given us. This was seconded by Miss Plizabeth Fainton and loudly applauded by the audience. LARGE ATTENDANCE There was a splendid attendance of members of the Club, also a num- ber of visitors who thoroughly en- joyed the excellent program. The platform was effectively decorated with ferns, daffodils and cyclamen, also a pretty arrangement of flags. Out of compliment té the visiting artists, delicious refreshments were served by the Executive of the Clu, which brought to a close a most en- joyable as well as a most instructive evening. Mrs. Bingham and Mrs, Dudley are to he congratulated on the sple: did entertainment provided on which a great deal of thought and time must have been spent, KIDD'S TREASURE AGAIN REPORTED -- Quincy, Mass. -- A remark ut tered by an attorney in the cours: of an arraignment in local court is expected to start a new search for the buried treasure of the famous Captain Kidd, The law- yer, Clarence Rowley, apparenit- ly inadvertently, asked a Wit ness if he had ever dug on Half Moon Island, Boston Harbor.
