Last year the Whitby Ladies' Softball team reached the finals in the Oshawa Ladies' Soft- ball league and was only mosed out of victory by the Chevrolets of Oshawa.

Street, \ POLICE RECOVER ~ TRENTON AUTO Stolen Car Found on the Highway West of . Whitby (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, April 29.--A six-cylin- der Star sedan, reported stolen from Trenton Saturday afternoon, was recovered four hours later by Chief H. Gunson on the Kingston highway, a half mile west of here. The machine was without gas or oil and had apparently been given hard usage. Several Bearings had been burned out and after aban- doning the car the thieves hail locked the doors. Residents of the vicinity stated that they had seen two men walk- ing north on the town line and suspecting that these might be the culprits Chief Gunson gave chase. No sign could be seen of the men however. The car was towed into Jones' garage and is now awaiting the arrival of the owner. Damage to the machine is estimated at £30. LITTLE CONFUSION AS DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME IS EFFECTED (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, April 29.--Daylight saving time went into effect here yesterday without any apparent confusion. Clocks and wa'ches were advanced an hour Saturday night or Sunday morning and the najority of citizens - arose ono hour earlier than usual. Practical- y everyone lost an hour's sleep which may be regained on Sunday morning, September 29, when day- light saving will be abandoned in favor of standard t'me. There were isolated Instances where the advancing of the clocks caused some embarrassment as some persons, forgetting that day- light saving had gone into effect, arrived at church an hour late. Otherwise no serious difficulties were encountered. J TES Special Selling VALUES for To- morrow and Wednesday - Half Day From the Juvenile Dept.

Apparent- ly the pavement has been badly cut up by heavy trucks and other pon- derous vehicles and holes are quite numerous, Persons, unfamiliar with the road, who attempt to drive at night must find this stretch dif- ficult as one never knows when the car will traverse a hole, causing vehicle and occupants to receive a severe jolt. The unusually wet spring wea- ther and the thaws which followed the winter season were undoubted- ly factors which have contributed to the conditions of the road. Dur- ing the last two months. all trucks have been limited to half-sized loads and under ordinary circumstances the roads should have withstood the weight of trafic. The abund- ance of moisture, however, weak- ened the roadbed and as a result the pavement has given away at several points. The Kingston road is one of the oldest thoroughfares in Ontario as it connected York, Kingston and intermediate towns at a time when Ontario was known ag Upper Can- ada and the stage coach and sail- ing vessels were the chief media of trnsportation. With the coming of the automobile and the increase in motor traffic the Kingston high- way was included in the provincial system and was paved several years ago. Since that time it has borne tremendous traffic and is now be- ginning to show the strain from repeated wear and tear. WHITBY STILL LACKS REGULAR BUS STATION (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, April 29.--Busses now leave Whitby every hour for To- ronto through the inauguration of an increased service by the Toron- to Transportation Co. yesterday. The town is still without a regular bus station although a waiting room has been established in Pat- terson's store, Dundas street west. Through the Collacutt coach lines, which formerly operated a Toronto-Oshawa service, Whitby is given bus connection with King- sion and points east of Bowman- ville. This company of course will not carry local traffic between Whitby, Oshawa and Bowmanville as the charter for service between these three communities is held by the Garton Bus Line with head- quarters at Bowmanville.

JOAN'S CHURGH Parade Attended by Mem- bers of the Order from Five Towns (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, April 29. -- Flor- ence Nightingale Lodge No, 66, 1.0.0.F., celebrated the 110th an- niversary of the Order by parading to St. John's Anglican church on Sunday morning. Visitors were present from Orono, + Newcastle, Oshawa and Whitby lodges, bring- ing the attendance of Oddfellows up to about 180 which with the regular congregation completely filled the church. An excellent sermon dealing with the ideals of Oddfellowship, was preached by the rector, Rev. R, J, Shires, in which he stressed the point that in any service for the betterment uv: humanity the best results could only be obtained if prompted by true love of God in the heart. The impressiveness of the sermon was evidenced by undivided attention given the minister. During the offertory, the solo, "Ora Pronobis,"" was beautifully sung by Miss Jane Mason and be- fore the close of the service one verse of the National Anthem was sung by the congregation, Mrs. John Gunn at the organ rendered beautiful music while the congre- agtion was assembling. On leaving the church, the Odd- fellows paraded to the Soldiers' monument, where, with due cere- mony, a beautiful wreath was placed in honor of comrades who made the supreme sacrifice in the Great War. FATHER AND SON SERVICE, ST. PAUL'S Rev. T. F. Best, Whitby, Takes as Sermon Theme "Selfishness" (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, April 29, -- On: Sunday evening in St. Paul's church, Fathers' and Sons' night was observed, proving to be a most interesting service. Rev. T. F, Best of Whitby, had charge and preached an inspiring sermon, tak- ing as his theme "Selfishness. Mr. Best pointed out that selfish- ness was the greatest sin in the world, in fact was the mother of all sin, and said that if one look- ed back over the greatest disap- pointments of .life they could be traced to selfishness. He also showed that unselfishness and do- ing things to help others brought the greatest joy in life. Through- out the sermon Mr, Best told sev~ eral humorous stories in illustra- tion of his theme. The music of the evening was in charge of the men and boys, the singing of the hymns being led by a choir of twenty under leadership of H. J. Knight, There were two male quartettes, "He Lifteth Me," and 'One Sweetly Solemn Thought," which were well sung by Messrs. Hallman, Chase, Knight and Glanville. The solo, "Planes of Peace" was sung in splendid voice by Rod Mitchell.
