THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, MAY 22, 1929 Judge Thompson to Take Part in Rotary Street Fair Directorate of Oshawa Motor Club Launches Campaign "to Increase Membership G. E. Richardson and W. G.? uJ for Larger Club Member- ship in City -- List Now Stands at 157 OBJECTIVE SET AT FIVE HUNDRED C. E. McTavish Elected President at Meeting of Provisional Directors Re-] cently -- Directorate Is Chosen -- Will Meet on May 28 Arrangements have been completed by the newly elected directorate of the Oshawa Motor Clup for an ex- tensive campaign for memberships during the week beginning May 7. Through the courtesy of the local ser- vice clubs, speakers have been pro cured for two occasions, A, E. Rich- ardson, solicitor for the Ontario Mo- tor League to address the Kiwanis Club tomorrow at noon and Rotarian W. G. Robertson, secretary-treasurer of the O.M.L. to be at Rotary Club, Monday 'at noon. These two speak- ers will outline the plans relative to the membership campaign for the O. M.C. They will also endeavor to en list supporters to the cause of the local club. The newly elected officers of the club placed in office at a recent meeting of the provisional directors is as follows: President, C. E. Mc- Tavish, first vice; J. N, Willson, se- cond vice; Ernie Parsons, secretary treasurer; Leon Frazer; directors, A. L. Bouckley, W. G. Burns, M. Can-~ ning, F. M, Dahmer, N. H. Daniel, S. § Everson, Morris Hart, M, E. Hartley and F. G, Spry. A luncheon meeting of the direc- tors of the Club and those assisting in the campaign will be held at noon on May 28 at which representatives of the Ontario Motor League will be present to aid in the organization of the campaign, Leon Frazer, secretary-treasurer of the Motor Club stated this morning that there was at the present time a membership list of 157 in Oshaway The campaign which is being cons ducted provincially as well as locally, will tend, it is hoped, to increase this number considerably, As an add- ed impetus the campaign has heen placed on a competition basis, Of three termed "sections", 'Osh- awa has been placed in the "A" dis- trict, with "B" centred at Owen Sound and "C" at Iroquois Falls, "It is disheartening to learn the present time that Oshawa ha pens to be at the bottom of the list in its district," declared Mr, Frazer, "but we hope to do a great deal to= wards pulling up the membership by the time the campaign is concluded and there is no reason, why, with Oshawa being a Motor City, it cans not rank among the first few, if not at the top." Oshawa's objective has been at 500 members, which, Mr. Frazer stated, is a comparatively small num» ber. The competition is being based upon the percentage attained on the objective set by the O.M.L. To the winner in each section will be pre- sented a shield. The names of the cities included in "A" section with their respective objectives was received at the Motor Club headquarters today and is as follows: Chatham, 500; Hamilton, 2,- 200; Windsor, 1,500; London, 1,200; Kitchener, 550; St. Catharines, 475; Sarnia, 425; Brantford, 425; Ottawa, 1,400; Oshawa, 500. Considering the fact that thefe are 4,000 automobile owners in Oshawa, it will be a most deplorable thing if at least S500 citizens do not become members to the O.M.C. It was point- ed out that for the amounts paid for membership gratuities received were all that might be expected. . at Died JACOBI--At rest in .

Melndless, of Utica, New York, who is visiting the home of his parents, 75 Charles street, after seeing his sick brother in the Toronto General Hos- pital Mr, Mclndless said he had seen is brother, who was making good progress, and had so far recovered from his temporary indisposition as to be able to write a long letter to his mother, telling her he was getting along as well as could be expected, In conversation with his brother, Charles McIndless gave the correct version of what happened on Satur- day night, He had fia on his way to sec a doctor, he said, when he felt his memory slipping. He could not recall his name, nor where he lived, nor remember anything about his parents, so he immediately sought out a policeman, told the officer of his plight, and asked for assistance, The policeman at once saw that he was given attention and taken to the hos- pital, where he is doing well, Mr, Mclndless was very emphatic in asserting that there was no truth in the suggestion that his brother Charles has lost his mind, a slight attack of loss of memory being the case of his predicament, and he wish- ed the full facts of the case to be made fully known for the benefit o the family's many friends in Oshawa, Seventy tons of soot fell in Lon- don in a recent month, The Nile and Congo Rivers of Africa have been connected by a motor road.

CANADIAN LEGION FIELD DAY PLANS Special Executive Meeting To Be Held on Monday Evening The plans for the holding of a field and athletic meet here on July 1, un- der the auspices of the Canadian Le- gion, have received a setback owing to the fact that the Ontario provin- cial championship meet is being held elsewhere on that day, and the Cana- dian Amateur Athletic Union will not grant two permits for the same date. The date of July 27, however, has been assigned to the Oshawa Legion by the AAU, of C. for the purpose of holding its meeting here, and it will be held on that date if Alexandra Park can be secured, A special meet- ing of the executive of the Canadian Legion is to be held in the Employ- ment Service offic at 7.30 o'clock on Monday evening to discuss this pro- ject, It had been intended to hold this executive meeting on Thursday evening, but on account of this being the evening before the holiday, some of the members could not attend, so the date was postponed, EMPIRE SHOPPING WEEK OPENS MAY 25 Retail Merchants to Take Special Interest in Display- ing Empire Posters The Retail Merchants' section of the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce under the direction of John J. Burns are taking active steps to in- terest residents of the city in the Empire Shopping Week, which is being held from May 25 to June 1. Display posters supplied by the Dominion Committee and the Em- pire Marketing Board are being placed in all stores and windows showing particularly produce or manufactures of the Empire, "The cltmax of such fraternal fisticuffs," the paper continues, "was reached when the 'hustings' were set up at Albert Hall and whe, after the stalwart jix (Sir William Joynson-Hicks, and the redoubtable Jim Thomas (Rt. Hon. J, H, Tho- mas) had done battle on behalf otf the latterday blues and buffs the two principals and their seconas wound up by joining hands and singing Auld Lang Syne." Truth remarks it is rather curi- ous that with the advance of demo= cracy elections should become dull- er and thinks nothing has done more to take the fun out of politics than the enfranchisement of wo- men. "Women," the paper re. marks, "taking part in public af- fairs seem possessed of a deadly earnestness rarely attained by male politicians, A consciousness of this fact must weigh heavily on the minds and spirits of masculine poli- ticians at election times." Something similar was said by Major J. W. Wills, conservative candidate in Ripon where 33,000 out of the 65,000 electors are wos men, "Since the war," he said, "women have changed niore than men, They seem to perceived the essential pith and reality of politi. cal questions more clearly than men who are still, perhaps, inclin- ed to regard politics as something apart from ordinary life" Nine American motor boats were introduced into Guatemala last year, ; ; Poland's population is slightly more than 30,000,000, now Apartment houses dosting $1.- of a bygone political era by getting rival candidates on the same plat- form, 500,000 are to be erected in Mon- treal, Canada. | Rotary Club Committees For Street Fair Decide on Chairmen for Booths ' _| His Honor Judge Thompson Has Consented to Draw the Lucky Ticket Which Will Win an Automobile at the Street Fair on Wedl- nesday, June 19 , AMBITIOUS PLANS FOR NEW FEATURES Entertainment and Attrac- tions Both Afternoon and Evening to Make This Year's Rotary Street Fair Bigger and Better Than Ever When the draw is made at mid- night on Wednesday, June 19, for the automobile which is to be given away by the Oshawa Rotary Club as the feature event of its annual street fair, the lucky winning ticket will be drawn, on a platform at the Four Corners, by His Honor Judge Thomp- son, county judge of Ontario county.
