A.LLOYDSMITH SPEAKS TO NURSES GRADUATE CLASS Delivers Inspiring Address in United Church Be- fore Large Congregation (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, June 10.--~The value of humility and service was stressed by Rev. A. Lloyd Smith, <M.A.,, D.D. pastor of Grace United Church, Brampton, in an inspiring and clo- quent address to members of the graduating class 'of the Ontario Ladies" College at the annual Bac- calaureate service held in the United Church last night. A large congrega- tion was present at the service while the staff and students of the College occupied the main body of the aud- itorium. The members of the gradu- ating 'class were dressed in traditional cap and gown and occupied seats im- mediately in front of the pulpit, which was held by Rev. Dr. Smith, Dr. C. R. Carscallen, Principal of the College and Rev. L. Richards, B. D,, pastor of the church. The front of the church was banked with beautiful flowers which were in keeping with the dignity and simplicity of the occasion. The. speaker of the evening was introduced by Dr. Carscallen who described him as a friend of the college and a member of ,the Board of Directors. He felt that the college was honored in being able to secure the services of so distinguished a minister as Dr, Smith. The 13th and 14th verses of the fourth chapter of the Book of Esther were given out by Dr. Smith as the text for his discourse. It afforded him Thousands Now Eat Pog ea A Delightful Breakfast Food great pleasure he stated to 'address the members of the graduating class and to them he offered gratula- tions for their success and the wish that they might find enlargened scope for service. The story of lovely Queen Esther, he pointed out, held same interest for young ladies as story of the rise and success of David held for young men. Briefly describing the treachery of Haman and his plot to destroy all the Jews in the king- dom ruled by Ahasuerus the speaker read the message of 'Mordecai 10 Queen Esther. "Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the King's house, more than all the Jews, for if thou alto- gether holdest thy peace at this time then shall there enlargement and d=- liverance arise to the Jews from an- other place but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyggl." The speaker pointed out that Esther had risen from a humble orphan girl to be the queen of Ahasuerus through her comeliness and beauty. Here, indeed, was a crit- ical situation for her foster father, Mordecai, was requesting her to risk her life to save the Jews from des truction at the hand of Hamen, the King's favorite. The speaker told the graduates that when they left the college they entered a world which was faced with serious problems. God was calling to them to live useful, self-sacrificing lives, that they might help and not hinder the advancement of mankind. Many, he hoped, would. not receive large financial return but happiness could not be measured by what one received but by what one gave. Jesus had said that he who laid down his life should save it while he who at- tempted to save his life should surely lose it. In conclusion, Dr. Smith hope that all would attempt to render service in whatever phase of life they entered. et Rev. Mr. Richards participated in the service by leading in prayer while Dr. Carscallen gave out the hymns. Special music for the evening included a fine soprano solo "The Lord is My Shepherd," by Miss Helen Bunner, while the Trafalgar Ladies' Quartette rendered very effectively "Prayer Perfect." Members of the quartet in- cluded Miss Helen Bunner, Miss M. Keasby, Miss Lucille Leask aml Miss Kathleen Leask. Splendid organ selections were contributed by the organist, Miss Kathleen Leask.

WHITBY DEFEATS PICKERING TEAM Wins Second Home Game in Softball League by 18-12 Score (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, June 11,--Defeating Pickering 18-12, Whitby won its second home game in the South Ontario Softball League in an in- teresting contest . played at the town park last night. The locals were much superior to the visitors in batting and were leading them 17-3 until the 8th frame when through a combination of errors, plus hard slugging on the part of the Pickering boys, the visitors ran in nine runs, They tried hard to: cut down the lead in the last innings but the locals again went to the fore and counted another run while Pickering remained scoreless. The locals played last night's game with McCallum in the box as pitcher while Quinton received behind the bat as usual. Several changes were noticed in the line- up. Ed. Bowman was back at his old position on first base while Mowbray held down centré field. Forrester acted: as 'short stop ex- changing his former place on third with' Flannigan. Whitby went "great guns" from the start scoring one in the 1st, three in the 2nd, and One in the 4th. The 5th saw another local runner cross the plate while in the 6th the team ran wild and socked Ale pill about for nine additional runs. The visitors held on grimly however and gave a game exhibi- tion, turning cbout in the eighth frame to bat their way through for nine runs, Players on both teams were responsible for several glaring er- rors thus accounting for the high score. There were flashes however of brilliant softball with smart double plays and wonderful catches, These added excitement to the exhibition and kept the fans agog. The crowd was in a good na- ture, applauded the smart plays and made fun of the poor ones. Both pitchers last night showed how to throw a fast ball but at the same time allowed many hits. When a batter connected with the ball it meant a terrific drive to outfield and more than an even chance of reaching 1st base. The teams: Pickering battery--White and Bye; infield, Moore, McCallum, Law and Nolan; outfield, Carter, Card and Richardson. . Whitby battery--McCallum and Quinton; infield, Bowman, Charl- ton, Flannigan and Forrester; out- field, Joyt, Mowbray and Kay. FOOTBALL GAME AT TOWN PARK TONIGHT (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, June 11,--A 'fast foot- ball'game will be witnessed at the town park tonight when Green Riv- er. meets the local club. . The game starts at '7:30 sharp and a large crowd of fans is expected. The lo- cals have a good team and a win or loss tonight will be important. ARE OPPOSED T0 | FERGUSON PLAN R. B. Smith Gives Report of Convention to County Council (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, June 11.--'"The little red school house played too big a part in the minds of the delegates to the annual educational conven- tion this spring to allow considera- tion for Premier Ferguson's propo- sals for the creation of township school boards," stated Major R. 85, Smith, deputy reeve of East Whit- by township, in presenting a verbal report of the: convention before the county council in session here yes- terday afternoon. Major Smith, who was one of two delegates to go from Ontario County, pointed out that the prime minister's plan received scant. support from the majority of delegates. Sentiment, he thought, played a ruling part in the discussions and possibly ex- cluded the exercising of beter judgment. Major Smith felt that 90 per cent of the delegates had come to the convention with pre-conceived op- inions on the subject of creating municipal school boards and were therefore not willing to listen to the plans of Premier Ferguson. None the less he considered that the convention had resulted in much constructive thought. In a debate on the question he. stated that the afirmative side, favoring the proposals of the minister of ed- ucation, had won with ease but this in no wise influenced the opinions of the delegates, The deputy reeve of East Whit- by suggested that in future the pro- gram of the educational convention be placed before the county coun- cil for discussion before the con- vention should take place.
