THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, MAY 20, 1929 PONER PUNT AT CAMPRELLFORD 5 GREAT ASSET Continued from Page 3) it could Hardly be expected that a very substantial grant could be made this year. The sum of $15,000 must come as a pleasant surprise to the council, as it does to every citizen of the municipality. ruly we have a wonderful asset in our power plant. But no matter how great an advantage a plant such as ours is to a town, if not properly managed it may be a white clephant. In view of the record of CW the plant one would naturally con- clude that it has efficient manage- ment, otherwise these results would not have been attained. To the Commission credit is due for general Wed managership, but the oversight of the details, the expenditure of money on * capital account, the collection of ac- counts, the selection of operators and {alli the careful business principles that makes the plant a money-maker, is entirely the work of the engineer, Mr. R. W. Scott. Nor must we for- get the men engaged in the power house. Mistakes in a concern sucn as our power plant are expensive. Great credit is due the operators for their efficient service. "The work of the power plant is carried on with the co-operation of all, and it must be a source of great satisfaction to the Commission Board, the engineer, and the operators that through their united = efforts the Campbell{ord power plant is becom- ing an increasingly important factor in not only supplying cheap electri- cal service, but also in lightening the burden which falls an ly on the ratepayers of the municipality."

Phone 189 LORD ROSEBERY 1S ILL AT SURREY HOME Is Eighty-one Years Old -- Once Prime Minister 1894-95 London, May 20.--Lord Rose- bery, former prime minister and dean of the English turf, was con- fined to his bed at his Surrey resi- dence Sunday night with a feverish cold. He is 81 years of age, and revered as the man who set out to accomplish three great aims--and succeeded. These were to win the Derby, hold the premiership una marry the richest heiress. Following the retirement of Gadstone, Lord Rosebery was prime minister for just under two years, 1894-95, when his Liberal ministry was decisively defeated. His horses have won the Derby on three oc- casions: Ladas in 1894, Sir Visto in 1895 and Cicero in 1905, and no other horse breeder has equalled this record, ~ His wife was Hannah, eldest daughter and heiress of Baron de Rothschild, whom he married in 1879. Her premature death in 1890 was one of Lord Rosebery's great sorrows. Remorseless insomnia also inflicted great punishment on him in the last years of the 19th cen- tury and the two factors are said to have been more or less the cause of his retirement from public life after his government's defeat. LAD MAKES HEROIC ATTENPT TO SAVE HIS. TWO CHUN Double Drowning Follows Capsizing of Canoe Near Campbellford LOCKED IN DEATH GRIP Twelve-year-old Hero Goes Down in Frantic Struggle to Save Another Campbellford, May 20. -- Fran- tic efforts of a young swimmer un- der water, to tow to shore the bod- ies of two companions lorked in a death-grip proved fruitless when Geyle Scott, aged 12, and Dennis Wragg, eight, were drowned yes- terday in the waters of Trent creek aqueduct, near here, yesterday. The 12-year-old lad himself mer the death of a hero in an ®ffors to save the younger hoy. The three boys had gone out in a home made craft to the assist- ance of Dennis' brother, Raymond Wragg, who . was in difficulties with an old canoe. The attempted resuce resulted in the capsizing of both boats, catapulting all four boys into the eight-foot stream. Three of them could swim, and Dennis Wragg, who could not, clutched at Geyle Scott. The old- er boy strove frantically with the rescue but the two finally sank be- neath the surface. Eric Scott, a brother if Geyle, meanhwile had struck off for the shore, but seeing what had hap- pened, returned and after a mo- ment succeeded in getting hold of the boys' unconsicous bodies un- der the water. "I towed them under water as far as I could,' 'he said afterwards, "put finally I had to let go. 1 swam to the bank to' see if I could get a paddle or pole to hook in my clothing but I couldn't find one." With Raymond he went wm search of aid and R. W. Raynor,, with the county road superintend- ent and the reeve of Percy town- ship, who were passing in a car, were called to the scene. Efforts by Raynor, who stripped off his clothing and divea uw the stream proved fruitless and it was half an hour before the two bodies were recovered. Hydro em- ployes from the power house were called and futile efforts at resusci- tation were carried on for four hours. At six o'clock the hope that had been held out of reviving Geyle Scott was abandoned and his body was removed to the Bennett un- dertaking parlors. Twenty-five minutes later the body of Dennis | Wragg arrived at the same place, 'home of his parents at nine 'ton this morning at 9.45. Dennis Geyle Scoit will . be buried in Knowlton, Que. The funeral ser- vice was held last night at the o'clock. The body left for Knowl- Wragg will be buried here the wufi- eral service being at two o'clock Tuesday afternoon. ; INFORNTY OF COLOR ADOPTED Confusion of Past Years - Will Be Thus Avoided t-- (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Toronto, Ont.,, May 20.--The Canadian National Exhibition, Toronto, has informed the Cana- dian Association of Exhibitions that it ig willing to cooperate with the association's suggestions for uniformity of color n prize rib- bon awards throughout Canada.

RAW VEGETABLES One of the best habits a house- wife can establish in her family is that of eating raw fruits and veg- etables. Children, especially, should be encouraged in this, for aside from the benefits received in the general health this sort of food helps to develop the teeth. There are certain foods which are admirably suited for use in their natural state, but even these must be carefully washed. Let- tuce, celery, radishes, new onions, cabbage, tomatoes, the endives, cress, sweet peppers, all the fruits and nuts contain nothing particu- larly disturbing to digestion when eaten uncooked. The so-called "starchy" vegetables require cooking to make them easily di- gested. Heat destroys Vitamin C--that substance so effective in preven:- ing scurvy and so necessary for health and growth. The shorter the cooking time the less the loss. But since these vegetables and fruits are so palatable and can give their full value uncooked, why spend time and effort in cooking them and making them less use- ful? Raw Vegetable Salads Grated raw vegetables make ex- cellent salads and sandwiches for children, Raw carrots, turnips and beets make a delightful, color- ful salad. Although the vegetables have and as raw fruits little value Our vegetable seeds are all tested fo germination by "Agriculture at Ottawa. the Department of We accept nc seeds from our growers that will not measure up to government test.

Nuts are a nutritious food, sup- plying some fuel value and when added to a fruit or vegetable salad do much to Increase its nutritive value. Since they are protected by a shell they-are exceptionally clean and suitable for eating raw. Mary Swartz Rose tells us the body cannot 'store Vitamin C, hence daily supplies are needed." Finely chopped raw vegetables are desirable even for small child- ren and as the children grow old- er they should have them at least once a day. All the {fruits and vegetables which can be eaten raw play an important part in efficient nutri- tion and should be used regularly regardless of their comparatively high ocst, Some eombinations for raw veg- etdble salads may suggest others to you. Fruit salads are so widely used that recipes seem unneces- sary. ' Finely minced raw carrot, apple celery with mayonnaise and g sprinkling of nuts.

DRAGON TOO FAT, "SLIMMED" Decreasing the waist line of a seven-foot Komodo dragon has been the task of keepers of the London Zoo recently. It had been eating too many éggs presented by visitors and put on too much flesh. It has to be given daily walks about the reptile house, and has been put on a "diet" of only two rats a week. And one of the rats, a large wihte, is filled with castor oil be- fore being offered to the dragon.
