Evangelistic Work Mrs. W. Pugsley, superintendent of the evangelistic department spoke of the work of her depart- ment. In describing the various forms of work which they carry on she spoke of the cottage praser meetings and the many weeks of prayer. She referred to the mirror pledge, by which the Union is ask ing the women to pray for prohibi- tion and to vote as they pray. This pledge is to be put into the Mir- ror as a constant reminder to the women of their promise. Mrs. F. C. Ward. second vice- president of the Dominion conven- tion appealed for the endowment fund, to establish a working fund in the Union. Mrs. T. T. George, superintendent of Scientific Tem- perance Instruction, gave a fine re- port of essays and posters which they are using among the young people. Mrs. H. 8. Campbell, sup- erintendent of the Sabbath Observ- ance Committee, gave a report of the work of that committee. Mis, C. C. Enright of Quebec spoke of the proposed building in Montreal as a centre for White Ribbon ae- tivities. The revorts of other com- mittees were given. Mrs. Gillespie, British Columbia Union, conducted the, noontide prayer, after when sesgion adjourned for luncheon. Lunch was served in the Sunday School room of the church by the Oshawa Unions. The church for the occasion is decorated with white ribbons, the token of the W.C.T.U.. and white and mauve flowers. Opening Day " The opening day of the Dominion Convention of the Women's Chris tian Temperance Union at King eet. United Church yesterday was 'happy event. The reunion of those delegates who were afforded the 'opportunity of seeing each other only 'on such occasions as Domin- ton conventions. and the good work 'which they hope to accomplish at convention. were the reasons for t Io an. smiles noticeable yesterday. the arrival of the delegates at the King street Sunday School they were greeted by' the recep- tion committee of {he Oshawa Un- ions and were then escorted to long table where they presented their credentials as delegates to members and were billeted with hos- pitable Oshawa families. The Oshawa Unions =~ have not been overlooking the minutest detail in looking after the = comfort of these delegates. They were met at the station upon their arrival and taken to the church, where - they were received and billeted. At noon president of the | 'ward Island and all were | 0.1 a Oshawa | | On Friday the general business a luncheon is served by the com- mittee of Oshawa members in charge and following the evening sessions they are transported with their host- esses to their temporary homes by ears. or those who are experienc- ing the hospitality of Oshawa 1resi- dents for the first time they can not help but be impressed with the reception which they are receiving. © #yom Pacific to Atlantic "For Kast is Fast and West is West and never the twain shall meet." As far as Canada and the WICT.U. ig concerned a refutation to this famous quotation is being proved in Oshawa. Delegates arrived yesterday from British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Manitoba, ci- ties in Ontario, Quebec, New Bruns. wick, Nova Scotia and Prince Ed- greeted with the heartiest of handshakes or embraces. 'Every province in the Dominion is united for this great cause, "For God and Home and Can- ada." In some cases many of the delegates saw Oshawa for the first time and for some this was their first visit to the province. There were many happy moments before the opening of the afternoon session when delegates greeted their friends and renewed acquaintances. One instance of the memorable spot the delegates from one province hold in the hearts of the other provinces was shown yesterday when the Man- itoba representative presented Mrs. G. E. McLachlan 'of Hamilton, L.T.L. secretary, with a lovely bouquet of sweet peas from the L.T.L's of Man- itoba, with the following greeting at- tached, "We wish you a very happy convention with love from the Gris- wold L.T.L. and their leader." Yesterday morning the sub-execu- tive held a business meeting in Wil- lard Hall, Toronto, where business of the sub-executives was discussed. The convention proper opened yester- day afternoon when the full execu- tive gathered in King street United church. The full executive includes: Mrs. Gordon Wright, London, Ont.; first vice-preside Mrs. L. C. Mc Kinney, of Clarvesholm, Alta.; cor- responding secretary, Mrs. W. T. G.

In view of this the Tele- graph rather wonders why Mr. Mac- donald in his radio address over the week-end should have described the result as "a vote of confidence." If he had been' content to thank the country for showing its desire that he and his friends be given a fair chance in a difficult situation the Telegraph thinks courtesy might have been observed without a sacri- Ice of accuracy. The Telegraph regards Mr, Mac- donald's announcement regarding a possible visit to the United States as at present a mere suggestion and adds, "but if it has been allowed to transpire with the objeot of sound- ing public opinion it may be said at once so notable a departure from custom would, if the circumstances favored taking it, meet nothing but sympathy in this country." Meanwhile there are signs in the Conservative camp that speculation afoot concerning the future of the oh command of that party. In a Sunday paper of the Rothmere group in which Lord Rothermere has often expressed his direct personal opin- ions there appeared an article con- of the Conserva- tive party in which the following passage occurs~"It would have been far better for Great Britain if 2a man of Lord Beaverbrooke's energy and vision could have followed the ascent to the Premiership on which he started Mr. Baldwin in 1917, Some people in fact think it would not be too late for him to begin now." The Rothermere papers, however, push no further the suggestion of tng the leadership on the Canadian-born newspaper magnate. But it has caused mild amusement if only because of the spectacle of one newspaper magnate nominating his deadly rival as a political leader. London, June 11--Premier Mac- donald's projected visit to the United States for personal discussioin with President Hoover of various ques- tions affecting the two countries is now regarded in diplomati¢ circles as a definite probability. It was stated today that the Labor~ ite Prime Minister was only awaiting afi official invisation to make the now become. known that Stanley paldwin, Conservative Pre- mier, had received and accepted an invitation to visit the United. States before he went out of office last week. AL JOLSON SCORES IN 'SINGING FOOL' Fine Attraction Has Great Play Upon Human Emo- tions Record audiences * witnessed the first night performatice of the feature attraction at the Regent last night, The picture, with sound and musical accompaniment, stars Al Jolson in "The Singing Fool" and "it might truthfully be said that therc has never been a more widely loved picture come to a theatre in Oshawa. Al- though at the outset, Al is not per- haps as popular as might be thought, he rapidly gains in favor with his audience until everyone witnessing the picture is a confirmed "Jolsoner." Perhaps the most appealing scenes in the film were that in which he visits his 'Sonny Boy" at the hospital and sings to him his renouned com- position "Sonny Boy." There were not many dry eyes either when Al was compelled in a following scene to put across his number over the foot lights while his soul was tormented by the terrible wrong done to him by his wife. It might be said that never has a picture in the history of motion pic- tures had such a play upen the human emotions as "The Singing Fool". The life history of Al himself, the picture is acted to perfection by himself and although there are humorous bits throughout the length of the picture, the main plot is rather one of pathos. It will remain at the Regent until Wednesday evening with matinees today and tomcrrow. Proseripty reports include the statement that at least there are going to be plenty of pickles.

Franco- German Meeting is of Great Import Discuss Resolutions on Pro- cedure in Minority Cases (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Madrid, June 11.--Considerable significance was attached here to a conference this afternoon between Dr. Gustav Stresemann and Aris- tide Briand, foreign ministers for the Reich Government and France, respectively, Both are members of th council of the League of Na- tions, which is in session here. It was believed the conference would provide opportunity for dis- cussion of essentially German- French problems such as, par- ticularly, evacuation of the Rhine- land zone, a move which, since set- flement of the reparations prob- lem, Germany ig prepared to seck immediately. The committee on minorities was engaged in secret sessions to- day to discuss resolutions on pro- cedure in minority cases to present to a plenary session of the council tomorrow. Action by Dr. Strese- mann in taking directly to the president of the council a question relaitng to German minority prop- erty in Poland was made particul- arly significant whatever action the committee may take. The Polish Government has answered the German request for direct 'council action in Upper Silesia with a communication con- taining observations which it is expected would be taken under consideration. Acting as a committee, members of the council of the League of Nations met today to discuss the minorities report, concentrating their efforts on inducing Germany to accept the special committee's findings as a minimum which would give a firm basis upon which to work in the future. in harmonizing the viewpoints of the various delegations would likely be found and the attitude of Foreign Minister &Stresemann of Germany was awaited with intense interest. It was expected that difficulties | MARKS PLAYERS AT THE.
