SOUTH Attracting The Atten- tion of Police (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, May 28.--In spite of repeated warnings from the police department and the objections of residents, there are many motor- ists who still consider that Brock street south is a 'speedway built for the express purpose of testing out the motive power of their own particular cars. They step on the accelerator and rush along at a pace anywhere between forty and sixty miles an hour. The speeding is not confined to any particular kind of car and even trucks are included. Pedestrians who happen to be in the way are expected to do a quick jump and even aged people and women wheeling baby carriages are supposed to act smartly in order to get out of the way of the speed kings. Car owners might do well to re- member that not one dollar of their license fees or gas tax goes towards the maintenange of this street. It is. the people whose homes front upon it who bear the burden of the tax and many of them are subjected daily to the annoyance of speeding cars. They fear for their children who are endangered in life or limb if they should chance to rush into the path of a fast travelling automo- bile. Some day those who are wont to make flagrant breaches of the traffic bylaw may find themselves the recipients of 'blue tickets." They could have only themselves to blame for it is an evident fact that no one has th» right to drive faster on this than any other street. LARGE CROWS SEE TALKING PICTURES ATREGENT THEATRE of Opening Performance Movietone Regarded as Huge Success NEW SENSATIONS Audience Visibly Appreci- ates Efforts of Management in Installing the "Talkies" The Regent Theatre was crowd- ed to overflowing at eight o'clock last night when Mayor T. M. Mitch- ell formally opened the first pres- entation of the movietone pictures in Oshawa. His Worship made spe- cial mention of the management of the Paramount Theatres congratu- lating them on the successful cul- mination of their efforts to install the latest and ultra-modern talk- ing films in their chain of thea- tres, especially at the Regent, which is among the first of their theatres to receive the new appara- us. Two presentations of the feature attraction picture 'Broadway Mel- ody" were shown besides a spleu- did comedy which greatly resem- bled a vaudeville act, and an extra film, "The Lash", which demons- trated the clearness with which the machine delivers the sound from the metal discs to the audience, {There were no hitches in the en- tire evening's entertainment and the Regent Theatre showed the public of Oshawa that every favor- able mention that has been made about the "talkies" is an outstand- ing fact. i Movietone Impressions When the lights were extinguish- ed and the curtain raised, there was raised a loud note of applause as the large audience waited in suspense for the premier showing of the talking pictures. Although no doubt there were many present at the Regent last night who had previously seen the "talkies" but it was understood that most of the audience was composed of those who were witnessing their first talking picture. "A 'hush 'settled down upon the audience as the first film was thrown upon the screen. The com- edy was one roar of laughter after another and the tones of the piano with its sound effect used in con- nection with the film were very clear. Hach comical action was recorded for the benefit of the audience on the discs in the pro- room and delivered through large wooden horns at the stage. The effect of the talking - pic- tures was registered upon the dif- ferent members of the audience with various degrees of interest. Some who were a little skeptical of the success of the new film venture were visibly seen to warm right up to the occasion and put their skepticism "to the tour winds" as they indulged in one hearty laugh after another at the comedy. There were signs of moist eyes too as the pathos in the pic- ture was brought out.

' BANQUET HELD BY "ANGIIGAN YP Impressive Address Deliver. 'ed by J. Soward of Toron- to on "Friendship" ( Staff Reporter) Bowe May 28.~--The an- nual banquet of the St. John's An- glican Young People's Association was held last evening in the Parish Hall with a large number of the young people attending. The spéak- er of the evening was J, Soward of Toronto, who is President-elect to the Toronto local council of the A. Y.P. A i At 7.30 p. m. a large and rather sumptuous banquet was served in the basement of the Parish hell, which was followed by. several toasts and an interesting address by Mr. Soward. The first toast was to the King and was proposed by the President, J. Gunn. The second toast was to the A, Y. P. A. by Mr. Brunton and was responded to by Mr. Soward, who then gave his address, Mr. Soward's speech was entitled "Friendship". "Oftentimes," said Mr. Soward, "the simplest and most common things are the hardest to define. For instance, what is elec- tricity? You can talk a lot about it, but just what it is we don't know. Cicero in 43 B.C. wrote an essay on friendship and bis defini- tion is this, '"A complete accord on all subjects, human and divine, joined with mutual good-will and affection. And with the exyiptivn of wisdom, I am inclined to think nothing better than this has been given to man by the immortal goods. What can be more delightful than to have someone to whom you can say everything with the same utter confidence as to yourselr?" That definition is just as good to- day as it was in the days of an- cient Rome. The art of friendship is self-ac~ quired. You may go to schools and colleges and study the industrial arts and the fine arts but you van never take up the art of friendship. To have friends you must first be a friend, He who has many friends has been a friend to many. To apply this to ourselves as members of this association. Friendship is one of the four planks of the association platform. vLet us live up to this ideal by forming strong friendships. Friendship is business. Gain the friendship of those for whom you work. Make more than mere ac- quaintances of those with whom you come in daily contact. Edgar Guest says that no man is so rich that he can afford to throw away a friend. Never give up a friend, One you think your friend may give you up; but let the fault be his and 'his the loss. London Tit-Bits once offered a prize for the best definition of a friend. The definition that won is, "One who comes in. when all tue rest of the world goes out," said Mr. Soward, in closing, Mr. Soward's address was fol- lowed by several other toasts. To our guests, by George Young. This was responded to by Miss Edgar of Toronto and Mr. H. Gibson, presi- dent of 'the Newcastle A. Y. P, A. Rev, Shires proposed a toast to the ladies, which was responded to by Miss Boyland. yah CADET INSPECTION HERE TOMORROW (By Staff Regeriar) Bowmanville, May 27.--The cadets of the various Bowmanville schools have been busy the last few. days in getting into shape for their annual inspection which takes. place to-mor- row.
